ALL FURS INCREASE
IN PRICE WITH YEARS

Milady, when out buying furs, holds up
her hands in horror at the prices. And
well she may, for furs have become an
expensive part Of the wearing apparel.
During the past eighteen or twenty years.
fur skins have doubled and in many
cases increased as much as twenty-five
times in value.
The fine eastern mink skin which some
years ago could be bought for So, now
costs SIS. The chinchilla skin. real b.
livian, which formerly cost Is cents a
skin, is now valued at, $25 a skin. The
tiny ermine skin once cost 40 to 30 cents.
now it costs $3.50 to -. About three
years ago when the craze for lynx be-
gan. the skin which now sells for $45 was
SIC or SIS.
Persian lamb, broad tail and astrakhan
have almost doubled in value. while seal
skin has advanced according to the grade.
initiating the seal skin have advanced &C
cordingly. The humble muskrat went up
400 per cent and foxes 100 per cent.
This advance in the value Of fur pelts
has made the trapping Of fur-bearins
animals a far more profitable business
and the farmer. who formerly did not
bother with this work, now zealously en-
cages In 1t.
OF course the price has been Influenced
by such minor things as the tariff, but
the chief reason Is the growing demand
for furs. While about twenty years ago
only the rich INDUCED in furs, today the
middle class and even the poor are wear
come, that there is at present hardly a
woman who does not possess q fur of
some kind. 1t is this great popularity
that has affected the price Of fur skins.

The MAIDS DUTIES
IN THE HOUSEHOL D

The subject Of good manners among
household servants Is in my mind TODAY
because 1 have been visiting some friends
who have two unusual maids. Their ex
traord1nariness lies only in the fact tina
they are always polite and civil, and it
IS pleasure to be brought into contact
with them. In the three and five years
they have lived in the same house the
them impolite. They have tempers, too;
that she knows, and am certain they do
not lack spirit. But along with it they
have self-control. and, what is even more
important, a pronounced idea Of what is
due to their own standing. To be imper-
tinent would be to them as much a mat
ter of self-criticism as it is for any Well
bred person. When they are ANNOYED
they keep still. On the occasions when
there is reason for protest on their part
they make 1t courteously and respectfully.
Their mistress. herself lady, apprecf-
ates their self-respect quite as much as
she does her own, and never compromises
it In any way. Their work is carefully
apportioned, and they are expected 10 do
1t every day. faithfully and cheerfully.
When things so wrong and there are
complications that must be told she exr
poets they will be related simply and
without comment: a procedure that is al
ways followed. She thanks the maid for
having brought the matter to her atten-
ton. and proceeds to rectify or change IT.
She says please to her maids always
when giving an order. and thank you"
when 1t is fulfilled: she considers a, will
ing spirit and courteous act should pc
recognized in that way. even though the
actual service may be paid for.
Maids. who have polite employers GER
tainly can get along with less friction. but
that a mistress is lacking in breeding Is
no reason why the servant should sink
to an equal plane of vulgarity. If the
maid does not like the mistress manner
she is not Obliged to stay in the situa-
ton. But while she Is there she should
determine to conduct herself as one who
is accustomed to being with well bred per-
sons, and wishes to emulate them. She
thus becomes q far better servant. COM
mands better wages. and will find life
much easier each day than IL she were
usually ill-natured.

These en- suite blouses, Of course, match
the rest of the costume exactly in color:
though the material may be-and usually
is-nluch lighter In character. The COS

name for the familiar separate waists

the American woman.

Sntique silk. In many cases these dressy
bieuses fasten at the back, though there
fs apparently a fastening down one side
of the front. This Is because the stock
collar and guimpe OF lace or net are SO
much more satisfactorily adjusted In a
blouse fastening at the back. This back
closing, however, is always invisible. the
fastening being-as has been said-ap-
parently down the front, or to be quite
exact down one side of the front

Along the edge Of the satin, over the

PARAGRAPHS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

Tulle is worn not only as a foundation
material of many dresses. but as the
trimming and decoration of many others.
The transparent effects are in full sway
among the silks, gray over natter blue,
green or black over Sevres blue being
lovely.
Serge broadcloth and any of the sea-
sonable suitings that are not too heavy
to pleat are particularly good for walk
ing skirts.
The one-button coat is very effective,
and though one covered with a coat ma
terial might be used. the jet button is
more striking.
So far as the new trimmings are con-
cerned, we have been threatened with q
return of the puffings and frillings and
Fittings Of the seventies.
. All-black hats of French felt or velvet
will be worn, the crown made entirely
of lynx fur, with fur head at the side

women that the waists either match the

all kinds. tunics. panniers. overskirts and
ichus are the distinctive notes of present
styles.
Curious as il may seem, the predomt-
mating influences at work~among the new
styles are those borrowed from the fash
ion of the 1905 and sos.
One of the newest fashions in waist
bands, for morning wear. is of softest
suede or kid, fastened with buttonhole
and large, fiat button.

present year had been specially designed
to make plain women lovely and lovely

it hangs well away from the figure.
Among evening gowns the bayadere or
oriental style Of sashing the skirt just
above the knees is one Of the most not
able and daring innovations Of the season.

The changed definition of the waist
line Is one of the most striking FEATURES
of the new styles.
The tunics, which are many and va
rious. are reserved mostly for visiting
gowns and house dresses.
Velvet belts, cut in the design of flow
ers each blossom holding gem, will be
a pretty fashion.
The latest whim of the Partisan is car
rying the evening gloves IN the mana

The French tailors are making great
effort to give the back of the new coat

blouses are usually built zen suite" with
their accompanying skirts, the outer sec

tune. Over a loose slip of tucked chif-
fon, which is set above a guimpe of net
or thin silk. goes little bolero or jumper
or perhaps merely broad girdle with

Sometimes both bolero and slip are Of
chiffon, the trimming of one showing
through the other, and on the innermost
blouse-or guimpe-is set the lace yoke
with its high stock.
Il
Transparent waists are the fad of the
moment and the woman who needs a
couple Of dressy restaurant blouses, yet
does not care to spend a great deal of
money. cannot do better than to invest
in a black tucked chiffon model to be
worn alternately over a thin black slip
with a transparent black lace yoke and
a white slip with q yoke of Irish lace.
The black chiffon blouse itself will be
very simply made. with long sleeves and
a rather shallow decolletage showing not
more than three or four inches of lace
yoke with its high-boned stock.
All neckwear for the fall blouses, by
the way. is high. Dutch collars have
had their day for everything except house
wear, and smart bodices and blouses for
away-from home use under wool coats
have stocks coming snugly up about the
throat.

buttons or cut steel buttons are added as

White linen and madras shirt waists are
always in good taste for morning use
with the tailored suit, and during the
warm. humid weather of our American
autumn these washable blouses are really
most satisfactory. Two attractive new
models are shown. either of which might
be copied in thin, lightweight flannel, if
desired; for out-of-town wear. On the
golf links or tennis court. With the model
in Gibson style. that is, with a broad
pleat set over the shoulder, is shown a
new separate skirt, built especially for
use under one of the full-length topcoats
which are very smart just now. This
skirt. with its overlapping front panel
yoke. hip pockets and killed flounce is a
very authoritative and modish model, and
like all correct shirt waist skirts it is in
comfortable walking length.
