Pelts That Are Favorites and How
They Arc Fashioned.
/ It is during the summer that ali the
/ fur garments for the winter are made,
and SO the fashions for the cold days
are now ready There is not very
striking difference between those for
the coming winter and those worn
| last season except there is a noticeable
absence of tails on all the neck pieces.
Little fur covered pendent balls take
the place of the many tails formerly
considered necessary. Muffs are small

| AS many women can sew furs and
can thus make any alteration required
in their fur garments, the knowledge
of the advance styles ought to be use.
full. Stoles are longer than before, and
the preferred shape is the horseshoe,
which means that the scarf goes
around the neck, lying fat along the
shoulder when not tied. When it is
tied it is thus brought up closely
around the neck as a protection. There
are some stole effects with a short
shoulder piece, something like the old
victorine. Some Of the muffs to match
are made perfectly round and rather
small while the others show the fat
pouch effect, being narrow at the top
and rounding out into the bag design.
Both kinds are pretty, especially in
chinchilla. 1t needs short fur to look
we'll in these muffs. Seal, lamb and
chinchilla are the best.
In the list Of furs for women this
season we find that seal is best, and
dearest, too, with lamb as a close Sec

with untrimmed coat sleeves. There

the fancy for scarfs and throws Of diff
ferent kinds Of fur from the coat itself
made the storm collar superfuous, but
now we find it again, not SO high per-
haps as it was, but still high enough
to protect the back of the neck. Seal
is so rich in color and has such vel
vety softness that it will be sought for
by all who can afford it, Nothing looks
SO well on every one from grandmoth-

Seal, chinchilla and lamb are best
adapted for coats, although cLinchilla
is fragile, while the long haired furs
are now made up in enormous quaint
ties for automobiling This sport has
become SO general that a whole long

Picture Hanging.

To give room an air Of restfulness
and repose hang the pictures as fiat
against the wall as possible and have
very few small ones Wherever it
can be done hang from nails in the
wall instead Of the molding, as the
wire necessary In the latter method is
very ugly and prevents the picture
from seeming part Of the wall, as it
should do. In many cases a picture
Of moderate size may be hung by put
ting two tiny hooks in the wall at the
same distance apart as the rings screw
ed into the back Of the frame and slip
ping them through these rings. If
picture must be suspended from the
molding use two hooks, so that the
lines will be perpendicular instead Of
converging to the center. Get the
smallest wire to be found and paint
the hooks to correspond with the mold

Cure Fer Seasickness,

Of the so called cures for seasick-
ness there is no end, and as many peo-
pie are taking sea voyages there can
be no harm in giving the latest recipe.
1t is as follows:
'1The appliances are a basin of hot
water at 80 degrees and a couple Of
handkerchiefs. Whenever the traveller
feels that he is becoming giddy he
must lie fiat on his back on the cabin
sofa or q deck chair. The clothes are
unbuttoned so that there is nothing to
hinder breathing. Then the handker-
Rhiefs are wrung out in the hot water
and bound round the forehead. This
bRndage must be made very tight,
which can be done by using penhold-
er or something of the kind as a lever
when twisting it. During the first
minute or two the sensation is not par
ticularly pleasant, but those who bear
1t are completely cured, which is sure
~ sufficient reward for any temporary
inconvenience. When the bandage be-
gins to get cold another must be put
dime with hotter bandage if possible
until the patient is relieved of the
EQueamish feeling. This should be ac-
complished in about half an hour. In
very obstinate cases it may take an
lr.
While under treatment the patient
must not eat, drink or smoke. One Of
the symptoms of seasickness is excess
giye thirst, which must not be as
Buaged. If the patient has craving
for food he may be given a little dry
toast and weak tea. Two hours after
the cure the patient need not fear a
hearty meal, smoking or drinking.
Those who undergo this treatment at
the beginning of a voyage are never
troubled with seasickness even when
the sea runs high

PACKING TABLE.

1.-THE common type in use at Hood River ]
SO to construct it as to allow a packer
to work with the greatest comfort,
avoiding back bending in all cases.
Three feet is generally found to be
about right. The surface area of the
table should not be greater than 3 by
4 feet, as anything larger would not
allow two packers to reach all points
of it without unnecessary stretching.
In using this table care should be
taken to clear off all fruit at least
eight or ten times a day Otherwise
much fruit will receive hard handling
by being continually paved over

can number Of natural muSkrat coats
for women-some in pony length, some
reaching to the knees and some to the
foot of the dress. These all have plain
coat sleeves and storm collars. and
some fasten with large smoke pearl
buttons. Russian pony is another favor
ite for motoring. and coats of these
are made in plain sack effects, with
double rows of buttons. A few have
no storm collar, but small scarfs at
tached to the coat to button over or
fall Some are long, some short, and
all are intended for the same purpose.
Mink is another and more expensive
fur for these garments and in that
we see the same general plan. One or
two of these have the sleeves gathered
in to a cuff at the wrist, with a cross
band ending in two or three short tails,
while the neck is finished with de-
tachable collar These mink coats
look very clumsy since the fur is so
thick, but it seems to me that is it's
principal charm.
Wildcat is another fur used in these
automobile coats, and it makes real
~ handsome garment These coats
are finest when long enough TO show
the beauty Of the fur.
Civet cat is another fur garment for
outings, and the fur is so variegated
that coat made Of it is a very sWag-
ger affair. But the best dressed wo-
men want something not SO heavy
and more suitable for street asld visit
ing, and so we have lamb in short
pony coats for the young and the slen-
der, with snug fitting coats of the
same, simply made and not trimmed
that is, unless we call the black lynx
shawl collars trimming. The combina.
ton makes this a superb coat.

APPLE PACKING.
Tables Allow Better Selection and
Grading of Fruit.


Grading of Fruit.
In some regions packing is done from
benches that are built up beneath the
windows, but | believe, all things con-
sidered, that better packing can be
done from tables, as they give the
packer more fruit to choose from and
allow MIN to do better grading. At
Hood River tables are generally used
Of the style shown in the cut This ia
BILE is made to accommodate two pack
ers. To make such a table take four
standards about three feet high. The
top, made of strong burlap about 3 by
4 feet, is allowed to hang rather loose
~. Therefore saw off the tops of the
legs on bevel SO as not to have the
sharp corners push into the burlap,
making points that will bruise or cut
the fruit. Old hose pipe is generally
nailed around the top of the table to
protect the fruit Besides the braces
shown in the picture it is also we'll to
wire the legs and braces together firm
ly, as there is heavy load to support

Pear blight is bad thing in pear

tings. frequently disinfect the knife
by dipping it into bottle Of alcohol.
Pears are best when ripened indoors
instead Of on the trees. The time to
pick pears is determined, first, by their
known season of ripening, and, second,
by the ease with which the stem parts
from the branch when the fruit is
slightly lifted. Most pears are market
