FASHION HINTS FROM PARIS
Increasing Vogue for MlngIing the
Lightest Stuff With Fur Of
Various Kinds.

There is an increasing vogue for
mingling the lightest stuff with fur.
One sees in Paris even embroidered
Indian muslin with bands of erminee
and it is predicted that this mode will
hold throughout the winter 1t has
certainly a charm al its own.
Because of the scarcity and increas-
ing value of furs taupe is very much
in evidence, and so is skunk. For er'
mine, sable and fox one pays a small
fortune. Only astrachan seems for
the moment to be in disfavor. But
this cannot possibly be for long, as it
is a fur that goes well with so many
things and has much distinction and ell
egance.
Paris fashion which is not so at
tractiye and far more eccentric is the
use of furs colored to suit the tint OF
the gown.
Hats give also a delicate example
of the highest stuffs with fur. Old
lace and black velvet fur make a
charming combination.

PLENTY OF GOWNS NEEDED
Several Simple Dresses Are Much Bet
ter Than Few Very Expen-
sive Ones.
Tweed {

There is a tactlessness in dress that
Is almost as inexcusable, and can as
nearly often wreck woman's chances
Of happiness, as tactlessness OF speech.
This, perhaps, is somewhat OF an ex-
aggeration, but there is enough truth
In 1t to warrant women giving it their
attention.
We all know how i'll at ease WON
an is who is not suitably goWned. II,
unfortunately, she has chosen a high
neck gown when other women are clad
in low neck ones, she has reached the
most acute stage Of discomfort. Ii she
clothes herself in a tailOr-made when
the occasion calls for an afternoon
frock. she is still uncomfortable, but
not so absolutely wretched as in the
first instance.
The woman of small income should,
therefore, have in her wardrobe sew
eral simple gowns that will suit every
occasion, rather than one or two ex-
tremely handsome ones. 1t seems that
the plain coat and skirt are the form
of attire for which the larger number
of occasions exist just now. And
good looking tailor suit is absolutely
essential If a woman wishes to be
we'll dressed. They can be had with
good lines and of smart cut in near
ly all the shops, but one should be
careful not to select one that Is over
trimmed.
A simple theater frock of some light,
attractive color, slightly round at the
neck and with the short sleeve. is also
a very necessary garment. Then II one
possesses a black crepe de chine din
ner gown, low in the neck, with lace
or net sleeves, one has the three es-
sential garments in woman's ward
robe, and one can always feel that
one is in no danger of finding herself
without a suitable frock for any &C.
casion.

Kent Umbrella Thirty Years.

A faithful old umbrella which has
shielded the family of DR.. James A.
Mullican Of Greenwood avenue fr"n
the storms of 80 years, was stolen IN
Sunday. During the rain on that day
the physician lent the umbrella to E..
A. Seek. and while the latter was In a
store some one stole 1t.
"The umbrella belonged to my faith
er and has been in the family for
more than thirty years." said Doctor
Mullican the other night. 1T has been
covered several times.
ITO persons who are unable to keep
the same umbrella for more than thir-
ty days this may seem incredible, but
it is true" concluded Doctor Mullican
with smile.-Chicago Tribune.

christmas Boxes.

Not in the English sense Of a
Christmas present, but as an early
nrenaration for the disappearing
season of gift-giving.
To make them, cut pieces of card
hoard and cover neatly with fancy
wallpaper, then lace the corners with
baby ribbon run through eyelets and
attach a ribbon to the top, with small
bows and punches of silvered artifi-
ciaI holly or mistletoe.
This makes pretty receptacle for
holding homemade bonbons or other
trifles.

The Nav of Life.

It is being said of an elderly man in
business in Atchison: "He can't stand
punishment as he formerly could"
And there is punishment to be en-
dured in making living; don't forget
1t. Look over your own experience,
and you will detect punishment every
hour of the day. If it isn't at home, it
is on the street car or on the road.
How many ways there are to punish
man who tries his best to get along
and behave himself. And after man
gets old 1t Is more evident every year
that the poor fellow can't stand pun
ishment as he could when he was
younger.-Atchison Globe.

Uses of Foulard.

Foulard is becoming one of the
most popular silks for fall wear. 1t
is used not only for entire dresses and
for trimmings, but also for lining loose
coats. being especially favored with
those Of shantung and like materials.
It is an excellent material to choose
for a frock for weekend visits, as it
packs well, and is easily shaken, after
unfolding, into smoothness and fresh
ness.
Plain foulard is supplemented for
these purposes with the dotted and
striped weaves and those printed in
tiny flowers or in oriental designs. Al
together it is a wise choice for the
woman who must be economical
in dress.
