 Smaller tables dn the same pl are used for many purposes. M decorative tables are made of ced some in hexagonal form, others rou with three legs, very tippy but not i practicable.
 Still others are made entirely wood in the round with the bark The face of the table in such case made of small pieces wrought into pattern or rayed from the center.
 It is in ambitious efforts like tn that the carpenter guide Is apt to betrayed into bad taste. As often not, though. his aesthetic mistal come from his effort to comply W the taste of his employers. Benches, settees, sewing tables, fas and even sideboards are made such rustic materials and upon sim lines. Plant baskets are covered W birch bark, and serviceable cups g pitchers are made of that material Excellent linen chests are made tirely of cedar in the round save an interior lining of pine. Indeed would be hard to name any article household furniture which can made of wood that the guides will undertake to make from the nal material.
 Cedar is the favorite wood V the carpenter guides because it is q able and easily worked. Every ca should have some seasoned cedar the round stored against need. Wild cherry with the bark or used for small decorative articles, with good effect. White and vel birch are also used, and less oi beech. Alder Is also used for ST articles.

To Renovate FurS.

Buy pound of bran. Divide it into two portions and place one in the oven to heat Spread the fur on paper on the table and rub it well over with the cold bran.
 Shake out the ebran and brush the fur with soft hat brush When the rest of the bran feels hot rub it in evenly in the fur in the same manner as before.
 Shake it out and brush it till the fur is quite free from bran and dust.
 Ermlne, white fox and all other light furs that have been packed away during the summer months should be cleaned before putting them on to wear.
 They require, however, a different treatment from the ordinary furs Sawdust and plaster of parts should be mixed half and half This should be heated and rubbed into the skins several times. Then the fur should be put out of doors to air.

The Courteous Woman.

She is not the woman who has one tone of voice for her friends and as- sociates and quite another for her ser- wants and the tired people behind counters who wait upon her.
 Nor is she the woman who bids visitors an affectionate farewell in one breath and in the next expresses her thankfulness at their departure.
 Certainly she is not the woman who discusses with one friend the follies or secrets of another.
 A truly courteous woman indulges in none of the petty shams and de- captions which make life insincere. She has one gentle manner and voice for all, high or low; and she never demeans herselfA. by personal com meuts behind peoples back which could not be openly said in their pres ence.
 So much matter of gentle heart is genuine courtesy

SOME FOREST MADE
 USEFUL FURNITURE Adirondack Guides Who Are Also Wood
 workers. HANDSOME; DURABLE Rustic Chairs and Tables That Attract-All
 Handmade.
HANDSOME; DURABLE

When an Adirondack guide is real ly master of his craft he is also a great deal more In particular he is a skilled, quick and ingenious carl penter and joiner, with an expert knowledge of local woods and deft- ness in making articles of furniture from cedar and pine in the round that few urban craftsmen can equal.
 Such men can furnish a camp throughout with articles of those nia- terials made in the rustic fashion, and there is no more appropriate furnish ing for a camp that is really such and not mere palace in the wilderness.
 For the bedrooms they make bed steads, usually of pine in the round with the bark removed for the sake of greater cleanliness, sometimes of planed blanks. The washstand is made of tongued and grooved. wood and shaped to go into a corner of q room of a tent It is usually pro- vided with ample shelves for storage.
 Every bedroom or tent has it's two wood boxes, one of large size to hold the billets of hardwood which are to keep the hearth fire or the tent stove going, another of small size to hold the light dry pine used for kindling. These boxes are made in several forms and are always charming and ap- propriate
 Sometimes the larger box is a crib of carefully cedar sticks in the round firmly jointed and provided with a tight bottom. The smaller box is often of pine boards covered with birch bark carefully chosen for colol and marking, and bound with marrow strips of birch or some other native wood with the bark on.
 Sometimes the kindling box is com pletely covered with small strips O some wood that tenaciously retains 1t bark. Tn such case the coloring o the bark Is carefully considered, ant the box with it's hinged lid is beauti full. Structurally also 1t is excellent for it is nicely joined in every part.
 It is the pride of the carpenter guide to make use of simple material ready to hand, and accordingly tn hinges of such box are often con trived of wrought nails cleverl , twisted and turned so that they serv their purpose to perfection, and giv permanent and easy working hinge Chairs for the bedroom, porch an , living room are made in great vari , ety of shapes from cedar with tn , bark on. All the parts are fitted tc
 gether so that the chair Is at ono : strong, comfortable, neat in appear , ance and stable on its legs. Gres
 arm chairs are made thus with seat

The Pewter Craze.

Most families have at least one or two pieces of genuine pewter ware such as was used years ago. These metal articles are now quite the rage and women are hunting for odd pieces for bonbon trays, ash trays for the mems rooms, hairpin receivers and countless little novelties. Pewter is difficult to clean and I've is almost certain to make 1t bright, while a rub ping with soft ashes imparts luster to the dull silverlike surface. Such articles are valuable and much priz- ed by those who love antiques.

As a rule, they are very wide at the eshoulders and coatlnue so until be- low the elbows, whence they slope, sometimes abruptly, to the wrist On the coats of all kinds turped-over col lars and cuffs prevail though ocea- sionally broad bands are employed as finishing.

The coat accompanying the autumn walking skirt of the plainest tailored type has a wonderfully comfortable appearance. It is somewhat longer than those worn few months. ago and, as rule. rather more closely fitted to the figure at the back and the sides, but the semibox fronts, sin gle or double breasted, are still high in feminine favor and it is noticea- ble fact that, while large buttons are in such demand for the more elabor- ate walking costumes, some of the simpler ones have coats that fasten with flys. Even when the plaited or gored short skirts are absolutely plain these natty little coats of the skibo serge and cheviot walking suits are often trimmed slightly with either two rows of soutache braid or one medium wide row of Hercules. which entirely edges the garment, its pocket flaps narrow turned-back cuffs and turned over, notched collar.

Long coats show the two extremes of the prevailing mode, as they are either extremely loose like the auto- mobile garments or tight-fltting and as perfectly defining the waist line as does a prlncesse gown For absolute comfort and all-round practical pur- poses, such as railway travelling, au- tomobiling and stormy weather in town, the medium long, loosely fitting box type coats are to be commended. They may be absolutely plain and fin ished all round with rows of stitching, or they may have braided collars and cuffs and pocket flaps. Panels, or rather long revers, are seen again and again on the long tightly fitting coats and on them also appear the colonial vests, as the extremely long waistcoats are called. or the fronts are fastened with rows of huge, ornamental but tons that reappear on the wide turned back cuffs and on the widespreading bretelles.

Fashion Notes.

No matter what may be the ma terial of these long and serviceable coats, whether of fine flannel, broad cioth,l serge or cheviot, at least the upper portion of them should be lined, and for this purpose pearl gray or cream satin is preferable, as then one may be certain of knowing when the lining needs to be removed or cleans ed, for many dainty blouse has been wrecked by being worn benath dark -colored coat lining apparently beyond criticism.
