A little girl had been SO very
naughty that her mother found 1t
necessary to shut her up in dark

For is minutes the door had been
locked without a sound coming from

At last the stern but anxious parent

into the darkness. She could see
nothing.
What are you doing in there?" she
cried.
And then a little voice piped from

FUR TRIMMING THE VOGUE
According to Fashions Present Edict
Il Is Almost Impossible to
OVerdo IL.

Surely there never was a time when
the economical woman could more
gladly bring out from the moth balls
all the fur she has inherited and
bought She can have it dipped and
combed and put it on every gown that
she will wear this winter. The
nightgown is almost the only robe
that is not fur trimmed, and one
would not be surprised to see one ap-
pear with an edge Of sable at sleeves
and hem.
Sable is in first style for every thing.
1t is used in 15-inch borders on eve
ming wraps, in ten-inch borders on
afternoon gowns, and in three-inch
borders on ball gowns. On the latter
it is combined. or rather held down
at intervals, with huge dull red silk
roses. One sees 1t combined with
flowers on a great majority of gowns,
not for street wear, of course, but
for all manner of house occasions.
Chinchilla is shown again, but not
in dyed marten, sealskin, and dyed
otter, as well as It's natural condi-
ton, Is very fashionable and is used
on chiffon and satin or tunics and
coats.
Narrow edges Of all the brown furs
are run on sleeves and the drapery
on the bodice, and one sees it also
on tabs that hang from the waist in
severe elongated directoire fashion
1t is supreme in millinery. Hats
for all hours are trimmed with it.
Every turban is to have a border of
It. Fisher, badger, skunk and grebe
are used with lynx, dyed marten,
sealskin, and dyed otter Sealskin
Is especially smart on hats and the
woman who has any of 1t in good
condition can turn it into a high plat
ed turban and border it with three
inches of brown fur; if sable, all the
better
If she wants this hat for afternoon
wear she can have one rose at the
side or front-preferably a huge, dull
red one. This black-red tone, which
! is the color of blood, is very much
| the fashion in gowns, in wraps and
especially in roses.

FROM P0PE'S OWN HAND

Paris, Oct. A I-year-old Calais
boy named Gerard Nandonbrocque is
the delighted recipient of long let
ter from the Pope written entirely
by the pontiff's own hand, in reply to
a communication addressed to his
holiness by the boy thanking him for
the papal decree fixing the, age for
the first communion at seven years
The Pope's letter which was accom-
panied by a silver medal, began as
follows:
MY Dear Gerard-Your nice let
ter was true consolation to me for
if as the Psalmist says it is through
the mouths of babes and stockings
that the Lord receives perfect praise,
Himself being the One that gives
them being, it is verify He who in
spires the decree"
In conclusion the Pope sends little
Gerard and his family a special bless

tinel neglected to find out when the
fool-kll'er would be permitted to be-
gin his work; but, if the season is
open new, one man of this city has
had a narrow escape.
A certain gentleman. hailing from
the villnFe OF Gotham and giving his
name as j. p. Bridges, applied at one
of the local hotels for a room for him
self. This reasonable request could
have been easily satisfied: but. when
the ma irs'etcd that he be given
room wiz two baths. it seemed a
little bill queer; Tld. in the interview
which followed of few moments du-
ration, il is hard to state positively
which one called the ether the most
names
Mr.. Bridges left the hotel with the
slurring remark that 1t was "rube
dump" with the reply that eff you
take about one more drink. you'll
need a double cell' ringing in his
ears.
The clerk is still trying to figure
out whether the man was drunk or
crazy.
