The Ritz Hotel last Saturday afternoon
was filled with all whom Paris considers
les fenn1es egantes, and new dresses
and new headgear were everywhere notice
able But the sensation of tho tea hour was
caused by well-known Spanish lady, wife
of a grandee and particular friend OF
Queen Victoria.
Her marten toque was blaze of exquisite
Jewels, which scintillated in the heavy fur
with wonderful effect.
The idea of fitting expensive jewels into
fur toques has already caught the Partisan
fancy, and already one leading rodiste III

Jewel the toques of several of her clients.
The sketch shows the manner in which
the Jewels were arranged.
And now. Madame Americana, do you

lovely and brilliant Paris mock jewelry, of
which we have sent SO much to Philadel

Furs Follow Fashion
Empire Coats in CaracuI
Redineotes of ChinchfIIa
and Mink
Mufs of ExtraVa9ant Size

NUNS OF Ft4LIdbdSdut size
All that is long. flowing. supple and ex-
pensive. This is today's fat in furs.
Long coats, long stoles. large unuTs and
big toques are demanded by those 'rqui
suivent Ia MODE.
Also furs are so exceedingly fashionable
this year as to be a veritable necessity TO
the well-dressed woman. They made their
appearance with the first breath Of cool air
on the Boulevards, and now are seen IN the
greatest abundance.
For the long coats which extend quite 10
the feet, the popular furs are caraC1l and
sealskin. These are made very dght-httiag
and ornamented with satin buttons, and for
the caracul much braid
For automobiling. long loose redingotes
of chinchi1la, absolutely simple IN line, with
large collars and similar cut coats IN zIoe-
line and Russian sable or mink, are among
the most exclusive things shown at GTuud-
waldt's large establishment in the Rue de Ia
Paix.
The r1xnf.sur Or soi, in these same furs
are much more elaborate in cut. One espe
cially handsome model IN mink is made with
the pelts running around the figure, instead
of vertically, in graceful lines following the
soft curve Of the collar.
The shorter coats for ordinary street wear
are very smart, cut often IN a tight-htted
cutaway style, chiefly made in caracul and
deliberately trimmed with heavy silk braid.
This Winter will go down in history for
its ma gnifccnt furs. The mode IS to wear,
for afternoon particularly, a complete gown
of cloth or velvet, with wrist-loug sleeves
and a small round yoke and collar of trans
parent white. Over these gowns instead OF
coats, are worn the most wonderful fur
stoles and scarfs, voluminous and rich.

THE Woman in Black"
Makes a Sensation on
the Rue de la Paix

Late in the afternoon, one day last week,
when the Rue de la Paix was filled with the
most fashionable women in Paris, beautiful
Madame Letellier and friend of hers
both leaders of French society-gained
triumph in dress.
They appeared so simply dressed that
they could never be called conspicuous; so
richly gowned that they were irreproach-
able-and yet, during the short time they
spent in their promenade. they were the
center of all eyes. For they were both in
dead black, and they were both the coloring
which black makes so wonderfully dazzling
Their gowns were alike in being black
velvet; extremely cofLante, with perfectly
tight sleeves, running to the inger-tips over
black gloves.
They were in one piece from shoulder to
hem. with no seam at the waist-line-a
model frequently seen in the afternoons now
and buttoned from the left shoulder to the
hem. A broad band of fur trimmed the
base of the skirt and small V-shaped
ertoiecentent of white lace relieved the
face from contact with the velvet.
AS shoulder furs, one wore an erHline
stole, half a metre wide, and the other a
magnificent silver fox, while both carried
enormous muffs of the 1880 period
Apart, each woman exquisitely
dressed Together, they formed a color
scheme original. daring and effective.
But must not forget the hats. One was
a round shape of white SHOWN, dotted
with err1ine tails. The other, a large
shirred black velvet toque, with no other
ornament than chains of very. large cut
jet beads encircling the crown and framing
the puffs of fair hair like halo beneath.
Are these two erandes danes responsible
for the vogue of black velvet? 1 do not
know.
The mode is here, and it will surely
sweep over upon America.
If one marshaled together the troops Of
Frenchwomen who traverse the Rue de la
Paix in one hour and looked down on them
from balloon, one would think it part of
the English or Russian army. For the fur
toque that is is known as the Buzby of the
Muscovite is the thing-the great mound of
fur, worn tipped over on the right side, with
an aigret, paon or an uncurled ostrich
feather standing out of it.

CHAPTER TX.

There are some men who have so little
self-reSpect that they do not keep up a
decent pretence of virtue when the object
il achieved for which it was first assumed,

We went into the sitting room. Laure

of Miss DalrYnple, who sat ON a~stool

sudden fit of dislike to Laure which had
led him to make this savage onslaught.
Laure clung closer than ever 10 her
only friend and looked in terror at Lynn.
Miss Dalrymple held her hand firmly. The
servant brought in the tray and / helped
myself. Lynn waited till the servant
was gone, and then, going to the win
dow, said:
Il shall go over and fetch Awdrey.
The certificate must be seen about at
once. Go and get my hat from the IL
brary, Laure. The child sprang up and
sped from the room to fetch the bully's
hat; Miss Dalrymple stood with hsaving
and close-pressed lips, and not a particle
Of color in her face. She could not speak
before me.
Lynn met her calm gaze with bent
brows, and turned again to the window,
ficklng his handkerchief from his side
pocket in n manner which by itself was
insolent and offensive. a
But in doing this he ficked a little
pellet of paper out. 1t fell against my
toe, and l quickly covered it with my
foot. The next moment he thrust his
hand sharply in the pocket from which
he had ficked out this pellet. then shook
his handkerchief and looked about the
floor at his feet.
What dreadful weather, Miss Dalrym-
pie" said ], setting down my glass.
Lynn Yeames went hastily from the
room, snatching his hat out of Laure's
hand as he passed. l picked up the pellet
of paper and slipped it into my waistcoat
pocket.
"Ch, is this true, dear-is it true?"
cried little I.aure under her breath. as
she joined Miss Dalrymple. will he
SEND me away from you? Will he part

"No, my child" said l, going up to
them. Take this assurance from an old
man who loves you for your fathers sake,
and Nurse Gertrude for her own-yOu
