VACATION.

This is the glad vacation time,
When dainty Doris rests.
Shes staying OF n beach hotel
With somo six hundred guests.
She COLTS and swims and drives and
walks
All day without n stop.
And every night she flrts TIL twelve
Or dances at a hop.
She's having just quiet time
TO rest her tired brain.
Her work. all through the college year,
You know, was such n stralnl
But now she's resting-galnlng strength.
Aslall girls ought to do.
She's UP each day at eight o'clock
And gets TO sleep at two.
How blessed is vacation, when
Your brain Is tired out,
To rest your nerves and give you calrs
And make YOU strong and stoutl
And Doris viii return refreshed,
Her brown eyes bright and clear,
To look ahead TO peaceful days
OF rest another year

Fur Trimn1inas.

Fur as a trimming on dressy wraps of cloth, silk or satin or lace Is beauti- ful. For this use the darker sables and seals are chosen, these contrast Ing artistically with the faint pinks, delicate blues and soft, creamy whites of the evening wraps and gowns. The delicate tOning of the material brings out all the richness of the fur. while the fur enriches the material immeas- urably. No great amount, however, is employed for the reason that all tend ency to weight is Obviated as much as possible, in order to protect the per ishable laces, chiffons and spangled nets of the gowns over which the elaborate evening coat is worn. When the fur and fuT-lined coat is a part of the evening toilette a soft gauzy scarf Is swathed around the shoulders be fore the coat is slipped on. This keeps the weight Of the outer garment of the shoulders and prevents the possi- biltty of mussing fluffy friIls and ia bots of faces, chiffon and still more diaphanOuS malinettes which so efiec- lively trim evening gowns this winter.
