Women and their Love

fact, Cupid must be having what the boys call
a thin time He is out of date; true love,
eternal devotion, lifetime slavery, broken hearts,
and all that sort of thing are, in the language
of the day, decidedly "of."
Whether we shall be better or worse by reason
of our more rational methods of wooing and
wedding must be left for discussion during the
next silly season. Certainly it seems very
good thing that we are at least saving our heads;
but even in this respect, it appears, woman has
not attained equality with man, for the truth
must be confessed that still there three times
as many females as males who become mentally
derangedsby love.
After all, woman remains at best a contradic-
ton still, and one ventures to think, whatever
she pretends to be or demands or tries to aim
at, she will always continue to give her heart
and devotion to the who are for ever find
ing fault with her.

AVE you fur garment or smaller
lH pieces Of fur among the archives Of
ggF77Fz~ your trunks or wardrobes?
RS&aH3SSO Then my dear, by all means trot them
out and employ according to the hun
dred and one ways approved by the great de-
signers this winter.
To say that the craze for furs as garments and
garnitures has assumed the proportions of pas
sion with women is putting the situation mildly.
Furs are cut and slashed in multitudinous ways
to add to the glory Of feminine apparel
The smartest and most costly evening toilettes,
ethereal creations of chiffon and laces, are indi-
vidualized by discreet touches Of fur. Elegant
afternoon gowns of supple cloths and velvets,
turbans and large dress hats besides all sorts of
dress accessories, bear convincing proof of their
extreme vogue. H.
Many women doubtless will not want to sac
rifice their furs to the shears; but of what use
are furs when impractical in their present con-
dition? The idea of boarding them for years,
packed away where they not doing any ser
~ice except to furnish sumptuous meals for Mad
anne Moth, is the very acme of foolishness or
rather wastefulness -s@.t :..-.-s. ~s@
Yet there are many women, sensible enough
on other matters, who have in their possession
old fashioned garments coats, muffs stoles, pei
crimes and what not, who would deem it sacri-
lege to cut them up for practical wear.
Well, these misguided danes are doing them
selves the greatest injustice, so what's the odds?
FUR EMPLOYED ADVANTAGEOUsLY
No matter how small or insignificant your
pieces of fur, all may have showing.
In coats and smaller pieces of fur as capes col
larettes, and mufs there is always a portion
which has escaped the brunt Of service and in
many cases is quite as good new. These better
parts may be employed, being cut from the shah
bier portions Revers and collars of fur may be
designed, large small, according to the ma
teral at hand. Old-fashioned tight sleeves admit
of plenty sweep for collars, and the
pieces remaining may go for the revers or touches
on the cuffs
Other portions readily employed as hat

small bow-ties indeed there is no limit to the

sight these gloomy, misunderstanding volumes
give one into modern lives, and how differently
love, matrimony, and other matters which one
would expect to learn about elsewhere than in
official reports appear as viewed, so to say,
through the statistical spectacles of commission
ers medical officers of health, and other prac-
teal folk. One would never have expected to
make study Of love in the annual report of the
Lunacy Commission of London.
The obvious reply of the wag will be, of course,
that love and lunacy inseparably connected,
but it appears to be otherwise in these days At
all events there is everincreasing evidence that
people no longer lose their heads because they
have already lost their hearts. As matter Of

7. THE ILLUSTRATIONS DESCRIBED.
Two very effective examples of employing fur
for millinery purposes are shown. In one in
stance band of ermines outlines a late crown,
very smart way of employing small piece.
The dress hat displays brim outlined with
fur, a wreath Of roses just above forming a
charming contrast. The crown of gold tissue is
partially, yelled by tall white aigrette.
This chic headpiece is typical of its kind and
very effective. Pink and blue roses are most
always combined with brown or white fur.
When one has sufficient fur at command, very
good results are obtained when combined with
cloth or velvet for street costumes. AS one
sketch depicts, the vest, collar, cuffs, muff and
hatband are all Of the same fur. Little pendants
Of gold or silver braid lend charming air when
| employed near or on fur

with white satin.

on the sleeves, were cut from the generous lin
ing of the ponderous garment Of other days

up-to-date shapes
Bows of fur are admirable additions on cloth
or velvet gowns, and particularly chic on En-
pire or princess toilettes. On many of the very
elegant evening gowns of lace and chiffon cut
in a deep v decollete, bow Of fur nestles with

AN OLD COLLARETTE

A clever woman has just completed most
enviable trimming for Burgandy-red cloak
from an old-fashioned collarette of black astra-
kan. The collarette gracefully shaped so
to form shallow V at the throat line (This
detail was necessary, as the piece was worn and
shabby looking) The top, extending triie over
the shoulders, was gracefully simulated an inch
or two below the bust line. From this point the
collarette terminated into two deep stoles This
new collarette did not meet for fully four inches
over the chest, the steel shears again having re-
moved worn and undesirable portion. Two
small bands extended over the chest, thus keep
ing the sides intact. Large velvet buttons or
namented with cut steel buttons decorated the
front, there being eight altogether. The deep,
tight-ftting cuffs were also of astrakan with
button embellishments. =
IDEAS IN GARNTTURES.
An evidence how strongly Paris favors fur
as trimming may be seen on a single page of a,
French fashion magazine, the organ Of z. the
French stage (for which, as every one knows,
some of the greatest sartoral masterpieces are
conceived) it contains many interesting examples
of furs employed exclusively as garntures.
A stunning model Of London smoke velvet,
combining a princess and redingote with capes,
is trimmed with silver fox. The double shoulder
capes and tunic skirt, besides the sleeves, are
edged with fur. The muff and large circular
buttons are also of the same exquisite fur.
A long, loose cloak Of laurel green panne vel
vet has a deep pointed yoke of ermine, the
gauntlet cuffs also Of the same skin.
A regal Empire wrap has its yoke simulated
by bands Of sable, and the foot line also carries
trimming of this princely fur.
Band trimming Of fur is very noticeable alike
on gowns, street costumes, evening toiettes and
| wraps.

beautifully soft broadcloth carried narrow vest

FIGHTING THE HERERoS.
German Officers In Africa Picked Of
BY the Native Marksmen.


Some oddities Of campaigning
against the Hereros in German South
west Africa are detailed by Col. Bayer
Of the general staff in some sketches
which he has been publishing from
his personal experiences In the field
One point that particularly impress
ed him was the readiness with which
the Hereros and Hottentots singled
out the officers at long range.
1T wouldn't have been strange
said he, 'ff we had worn brilliant uni
forms, sashes and other insignia OF
rank. But we didn't. In the pres.
ence Of the enemy we used exactly the
same uniform and equipment as our
troops-suits of khaki and cork he'll
NETS, with blue border. We carried
no swords.
Every officer carried a rifle and q
cartridge belt with 12O rounds Of am
munition in 1t, exactly like the men
Many Of us also wore bayonets
Hands, faces, hair, uniforms, weap-
ons, everything came to be Of the
same earthly color. We often couldn't
recognize one another and all sorts OF
funny blunders took place.
In spite Of this outward similarity
the natives seemed never at loss to
pick out the officers. Their eXtraor-
binary power Of vision enabled them
to detect the slightest sigma gesture
Of the hand to control the advance OF
the firing line, the use Of field glass
or the reception Of a report was
enough to indicate rank.
I'm one case l remember, an officer
addressed by his superior turned to
him and instinctively raised his hand
to his helmet in salute. Instantly the
fire of the natives was concentrated
on them and the superior was killed.

OUR TWO LANDINGS IN CUBA.
Big improvements In Army Methods
Since .Eiaht Years Ago.

Bio improvements In Army Methods
Since Eight Years Ago.
1t is eight years since, amid appall-
ing medleys, mix-ups and messes, this
country got it's soldiers over to Cuba
to fight SPAIN. 1t was a higgledy pig
gledy specimen of army methods, but
it was the best we could do just then.
A few weeks ago United States
troops were landed in Cuba a second
time. Golfers describe what a diff
ference just - few years have made In
the performance. 1t was "the vital
difference between the work Of an am
ateur and that of a professional"
Since the war with Spain the army
has had to move, not troops and COM
panies, but brigades and army corps,
not from, Fort Sill to Fort Riley, but
half around the world. Having land
ed them there, to the number Of sixty
thousand, it has had to fight them,
feed them, clothe them, doctor them,
reinforce them with as many thou
sand more, and over the second half
of the world. get them safely home.
The result of this eight years Of un-
ceasing active service, and also of the
wisdom of Secretary Root in estab-
fishing the General Staff, is an army
Of organization second only to that Of
the Japanese, and In personnel to
none. This Is no prejudice boast.
Before the war with Spain our re-
cruiting officers were accepting thir-
teen Of every hundred men who offer
ed themselves for enlistment. Then
the American army consisted Of twen-
ty-five thousand men, and we could
afford to pick and choose. At that
time in Europe recruiting officers
were accepting by enlistment or con-
scription ninety out Of every hundred.
The contrast was so marked that
when the regulars were arriving at
Tampa the foreign military attaches
were always asking one: "Is this your
corps d'elite?" "Is this the presi-
dents body guard?" They could not
believe that in our army every man
was a picked man.
Two years after the war With Spain,
when our army was enlarged to co.
900, and need Of men for the Philip
pines was urgent, the standard was
wofully lowered. The enlisted men
looked like messenger boys. The
ranks were filled with stoop shoulder
ed youths who should have been
wearing the uniform Of a hotel bell.
boy.
But in the last six years these un-
promising specimens developed to
their. full height and girth, the imme-
diate need Of men Of any condition for
the Philippines passed, and again the
recruiting officers could. pick and
choose. There has been again a Sc
lection of the fittest, and today the
enlisted men, although the army is
more than twice as large as in 1898.
are the same stalwart, but alert and
active, giants that caused the foreign
ers to think each regiment was the
presidents own"
