IN this winters dress that K is imperative
to devote time and attention 10 choosing
not only the fur. but the shape and style.
There are some comparatively small
muffs Of fur Of the conventional shane
and size, but these are only carried with
the simplest of street gowns of cheviot
and serge.
The muh for afternoons is a most elab-
crate affair. and often there is only q
small amount OF fur used in its eonstruc-
ton. Velvet satin. silk chiffon lace bro
cade. and cloth all are utilized often
two and three are combined. A charm
ing design in brocade is trimmed with
bands of fur at either edge and the ma
terial between the fur is gathered into
a sort of rosette OF lace and velvet An
other design is Of a plain fiat piece of
brocade bordered on either edge with fur
and with bow of lace at one side in
the center Of which is a bunch of arti-
fetal flowers.
Old brocade is chosen in preference and
the more unusual the coloring the more
effective it is considered
Black satin and velvet with fur is al
ways a good combination; one popular de-
sign has bands OF fur OF satin; another
made entirely Of velvet. is trimmed
around with the fur and hangs in a point.
The all-fur muffs are large in size. In
fact, there is no limit 10 their size. They
are soft and are made as nat as possible

chiffon, and the fur IS fastened 10 this

foreman the privilege of training two
extra men with his company so as to
have full complement of men at all
times and use none who are not compe-
tent to do every part of the work thus
obviating useless men in important posi-
tions. So when the hosemen's energy
abates the footmen may replace them,
but even if we have this central fire
station, this new hook and ladder COM
pany has got to be an important arm
of the service. And if we are not able to
obtain proper rates from the insurance
companies, then let us create a mutual
company to cover the Plain and Rail
road street install winding clocks in i'm
portant places in this insurance district
and have our police wind them at night.
Result: officers kept awake, district
properly patrolled and night watchmen
supplied. where none exist at present.
Outside districts that want to hold their
old fire protection must not be assessed
for new insurance district. Fill up the
old hose companies with the strongest,
youngest and brainest men in town, pay
them for lost time, let them elect their
own chief engineer, in this way we will
get their best individual endeavor

there once lived in England a man by
the name of Sherlock Holmes. after a
varied tempestuous career he was killed,
but we have heard lately that he has
come back to life after many years. In
