RAGE FOR FuRS.

Shapes and Medes Most In Vogue Per
the Season.
The strange anomaly Of wearing furR
and low cut gowns Ia now very much
In evidence-furs for the street and low
cut gowns for dancing. opera and cere
monious receptions as well as dinners
Just why, ask womankind In general.
FOR no one else can give reason.
Before ! speak at length on furs let
me say few words about reception
gown and a ball dress for q young
lady. The reception gown was Of
crepe de chine. there being one seam
down the front OF the skirt and a
couple Of shawl drapery folds Just
above the real waist line. To get this
particular form 1t il necessary to build
the waist directly on the corset. This
allows the skirt to fan from much
higher than would be possible any
other way. And the figure thus seems
to have changed materially. There
was no trimming OF any kind upon
the skirt, which fell to a demltrain Ia
exceedingly graceful lines. There wat
a guimpe. The waist was OF the same
material. richly braided with silk sou
tache in the same shade, a rich, warm
brown. The guimpe was of silk OF
the same shade and was drawn In at
the throat by means Of narrow folds.
Sleeves Of the silk were laid In super
posed folds from the back Of the hand
to the shoulder. The back OF the waist
was in the form Of a bolero jacket.
the skirt being gathered closely to the
notch in the middle OF the back. The
skirt fitted closely around the hips
and fell In ample folds around the feet.
All in all, this Is a graceful and ele.
CANT style.
Sleeves are nearly all close TO the
arm, and where it Is possible the exact
outline of the arm Is shown by the
close ft. Many sleeves have cuffs,
others have ruffies, and most Of them
have caps at the shoulders. Sleeves
may and very often do differ from the
material OF the gown. This Is a bless.
ing to such women as have short
sleeves TO dresses that have lasted into
this winter BY the judiclous addition
of trimming on the waist, to match
the sleeves may be Of any suitable
material. For instance, black cloth
gowns may have silk sleeves, and
gowns for home wear or even for
dressy occasions may be made with
net sleeves. The amount OF SOutache
braIding Is limited only by the space
to be covered. 1t Il put on closely

Why Not BE an Eaotist7

There is much mistaken sentiment as
to the sin of egotism. The fact is ego
tism is not sin. On the other hand,
1t is somewhat of a virtue and an In
dispensable element in all real prog
ress. Some phases Of egotism are I'M
pleasant to the beholder and unfor-
tunate for the possessor, but II all Of
self love, or, rather, the love of other
peoples admiration and good will, were
to be extinguished there would be little
to hold society together and less to
give impetus to the great enterprises
which spring from individual thought

and fringes made OF fur to represent
tails are lavishly used to trim. them.
There are fewer nat pieces Of close

furs. Fox IL shown In more varieties

besides silver gray, are the expensive
fox furs. The Isabella is much liked

skunk or some other dark fur with
these long silyery hairs showing ut
Intervals. This gives the fur a very
rich appearance. The long white hairs
