What is a lordlings pomp? A cum

Disgusting oft the wretch of human

Studied in arts of hell in wicked

GA few seem favorites of fate,
In pleasures lap carest;
Yet think not all the rich and great
Are likewise truly blest
Many and sharp the numerous ills
Inwoven with our frame.
More pointed still we make our
selves,
Regret, remorse, and shame.
And man whose heaven-erected face
The smiles of love adorn,
Mans inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn.
"'See yonder poor, o'erlabored
wight,
So abject mean, and vile,
Who begs a brother of the earth

And see the lordly fellow worm

Black hats may be worn with
everything and are always a wise
choice for the woman who may not
invest in many chapeaux.
Some of the handsomest evening
and house dresses are glove fitting
princess forms with leaning tow

The newest hood for automobiling
in rough weather is the one which
is used abroad for skiing and tobog-
gaming. 1t Is a knitted scarf shaped
affair that has point at the top and
back of the head, and pointed ends
that wind around the throat and
cross at the front.
About Furs.
The furriers are praying for a
colder winter than the last two or
three seasons, or their wares are in
danger of going begging. Evidently
they have faith, however, as never
has the showing of furs been strong
er.
Not only will there be coats long
and short, loose and semi-fitting-
that is, following closely the lines OF
the cloth coat for similar purposes
and the inevitable small furs, but the
pelts will be used as trimming on
hats, scarfs, frocks, smart little neck
pieces, and muffs, of velvet and sat
in.
Muffs, for instance, are so big this
year-many of them like huge boil
sters-that some of the furriers are
making them with the under half OF
heavy corded silk.
The new muff is round rather thar
fiat and limp, and one big importer
is showing one so diminutive that
the woman who has her old-fash.
toned muff put away in disgrace may
look it up to see that the moths have
not grow too fond of it. She may moi
be able to use it this year, but the
smaller muff is surely on it's way.
The favortes this year in fur are
those with long hair rather than the
short haired, glossy ones. The lead
ers are sable, chinchilla and the va
rious foxes, from the exquisite ant
costly silver fox or the blue fox
whose shadowy tints are so becom
ing, through brown, black and white
fox to the salt and pepper pointed
fox with man grown white hairs
among the black.
