How to Pip Furs.

There is a knack of ripping up OLD
furs with which all women are NOD
familiar. The pelt should be turnc9
wrong side up and the skin slowly
and carefully cut with a sharp PEN
knife, the blade penetrating the skin
only, and not touching the long hairs
Cutting fur with scissors destroys the
beauty of the hair and wastes much
of the pelt that might be saved by
the penknife process. In sewing the
strips together, first be sure that the
direction of the hairs is the same in
both pieces, when holding the bits OF
skin firmly between thumb and FORE
finger. With the fur side down, over-
cast the edges together with a rather
fine needle and strong, fine thread
sewing as near the edge a possible.

DETAILS OF THE TOILETTE
Accessories Have Great Deal 10 Do
With Smartness of General
Effect.

The details and the accessories of a
toilette often mean it's smartness. Just
now there is a great tendency toward
the use of wide collars, and often
these collars are in sailor shape at the
back extended to form reyers at the
front that reach quite to the belt. New
ones are made of black satin and de-
signed to be worn over white or col
ored blouses.
Simulated boleros are among the
latest developments of dressy cos
tunes and numbers of new gowns are
made with trimming SO manipulated
that 1t falls loosely over the high CIR
die giving the bolero suggestion. Smart
ones are edged with gold and bead
and the effect is exceedingly attractive.
1t has been said again and again that
the genuine boleros will make a fea.
ture of mid-winter and early spring
and it is likely that these suggested
ones are forerunners of the incoming
and attractive and very generally be-
coming.
All sorts of new materials are used
for the making of blouses to wear with
tailored suits, but the latest is all
over cotton embroidery in eyelet de-
sign, dyed to match the costume, made
over a soft silk which may be in
matching color or of contrast as best
suits the special costume. A lovely
gray one seen recently is made over
pale pink silk yelled with chiffon and
the result is fascinating in the ex-
IRENE.

easily that the giant Pole returned to
Europe without bothering about a re

ECKERSALL'S BIG 8" ELEVEN
Expert Tells why Players Earn POSI-
tons and Picks Strongest.
Teams in Conference.

With the conference football sea
son of 1910 at an end, the time has
come, following a long honored Gus
tom, to reward the gridiron heroes
who have played the best and o
consistent football during the season
by selecting an all conference eleven
to be composed of players worthy of
such recognition.
At the end of each year coaches,
players, and followers of football look
to these honor selections with consld-
cradle interest, and it has been the
custom for years to reward the play
ers who have done the most meri-
torious work during the season in
their respective positions by placing
them on an all-star eleven. Such a
team only can be selected without
nartiality by a careful resume of all
the games and by close observation
of the performances of the different
PLAYERS in the various contests.
The season has produced the an
nual number of stars whose work en-
titles them to places without ques-
ton, while in other cases the AWARDS
only can be made after a careful re-
view of the work of the players IN
volved. writes Walter H. Eckersall in
the Chicago Tribune. A number OF
STRUGGLES have been won through the
individual efforts of some players,
while others have been decided by
the smoothness in which the lorna
tons have been executed at critical
tir,as due to the proper selection OF
plays.
For the first time in years the con-
ference college elevens are not repre-
scented by first class ends, players
who comDare favorably with the end
,,,sbes of former years. The lack OF
ton notch players in these positions
Is evidenced by the manner in which
the coaches played the ends on de-
Tense. In most cases the
ends were placed behind the line or
in q defensive full back position in
order that other players of more
rugged build could be placed in
smashing positions.
In selecting this eleven, every an
gle of football must be considered n
the nlayers selected who a execute
different deceptive formations with
tho necessary perfection in the event
Tho eleven was to meet some other
~appregation. The team must be
equally strong extensively and de-
fensively and there must be players
IN the backfield who can execute for
n,ord masses. who can run the ends,
h;t IN ar off the tackles and perform
other offensive feats OF a first-class
backield. !,

Expect House To
 Kill Women
 Suffrage Measure
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Hartford, May 27-The State Senate having passed a bill admitting a wom- an to equal suffrage with men at all municipal elections powerful pressure is being brought to bear in the House of Representatives to kill the measure. At two former sessions the House passed the municipal woman's suf- frage bill and the Senate killed them. This year the two branches of the Legislature are expected to play diff ferent roles., Experienced legislators say the House will kill the bill passed this week by the Senate.
 The liquor interests are said to fear risking their chance on woman suf- frage. Also local political machines do not relish the innovation. The friends of woman suffrage understand what they are up against and a hot contest is promised when the bill comes in the House.
