WOMEN STUDY JOURNALISM.
ur Opened in Smith College Fol
Seniors Only.

A course in journalism has been
opened at Smith college, Northamp
! ton, Mass, constituting the first of its
kind in the colleges exclusively for
women
1t is an elective" for seniors only,
restricted further to those who have
taken certain number of regular
English and literature courses, and is
conducted by Miss Mary A. Jordan,
head of the departments of English
language and literature.
The work is not intended to deal
with any of the theories of journal
ism. but is devoted to giving the stu
dents little practical training in the
requirements of newspaper writing.
The students themselves refer to it
as the newspaper course" and most
of those taking it are either doing
this kind of work ION the side while
still at college or expect to go into it
after graduation.
The course opened this fall with
study of the types of newspapers and
style. Beginning with
the most conservative, the students
have been directed to write articles
for them.
The course is extremely popular
among the so-called literary lights"
of the senior class.

FAps AND FASHIONS.

New York, Nov. 13 - The cold
weather has brought furs to the fore
ground. and the fashionable shops are
making a fine display OF fur garments.
There are coats and jackets of every
description, capes. neck pieces, stoles
and clcaEs, muffs and hats. made of
every known kind OF fur. The very
nature Of the material makes great
variations in style and treatment of
furs practically impossible, but the
makers of these garments have dis
played remarkable ingenuity in de-
vising new forms and styles richer
and more becoming than ever The
coats are mostly built on the lines of
the directoire model, showing long and
slender lines.
The most beautiful furs are at their
best when treated in a severe style.
No applied trimming or bizarre cut
ting can improve Russian sable, sill
yer fox or seal, and such furs, par
ticularly the long-haired ones, are
most effective If merely self-trimmed.
The directoire cape Is possibly the
newest and most luxurious note in fur
garmets. The models shown in the
windows of the fashionable shops
show slight difference of line and fin
ish, but the general character of these
garments is the same-a long, loose
sleeveless cloak, whose shoulder line
runs down almost to the elbow The
cloak is opened all the way up the
sides, but caught together lightly un-
der the arms to provide some slight
--sembIance of sleeve effect. Often
tback ends in one long point, fall
Tout over the train and the front
wo shorter points. Other models
~ a gradual slope from middle
Con. TO middle back
Among the furs used in those gar
ments there is but one distinct nov
city, Hudson seal" which is really
not seal at ALL but the fur of the
French rat, which greatly resembles
seal, but is considerably cheaper. The
resemblance is so close that only an
expert can tell the difference. Seal
has once more become fashionable,
but only rich women Will be able to in
vest in any of the handsome seal gar
ments shown in the windows. All the
old furs, mink, sable. chinchilla, car
acul, astrakhan, fox, lamb and others
are in evidence, and they are used
with greater freedom of treatment
than in former years.
Long, close sleeves are used in the
fur coats, both long and short, which
have the First Consul tendency, Short
fur models are built on the same gen.
eral lines that distinguish the longer
models. with very often hint of the
directoire in their design. Braid and
buttons and cord ornaments formed of
braid or covered with silk or satin are
used upon these short coats, even
more than upon the long models. The
Innings are chiefly in rich soft satin,
and in the exquisite middle tones in
stead of in white and vivid colors, The
