How to Choose Furs.

WHEN buying furs one should get the
w quality paid for. whether it be err
mine or rabbit. 1t is always in much bet
ter taste to wear real fur from one OF
the inexpensive animals than it is to
wear cheap imitation of one of the ex-
pensive furs, so that one does not neces-
sarily have to buy the expensive furs to
be dressed is good taste. There is such
a variety that purchases can be made to
suit pocketbooks.
Among some of the limitations which
are offered for the real are weasels for
ermine Muskrats pulled and dyed are
often sold as seal Nutria is substituted
for seal or beaver, and rabbit is sold as
seal or electric seal, and otter is resu-
larly sold as seal. Dyed>marmot is often
sold as mink or sable, and dyed fitch is
sold as sable. After certain treatment
even rabbit is sold as sable. Hare and
muskrat are frequently sold as mink
or sable, and white rabbit as ermlne or
chinchilla or fox. Goat is even dyed and
sold as bear, and many kinds of lamb
are sold as Persian. Skunk goes by the
name of Alaska sable, and American
sable Is sold as Russian crown sable

SIMPLICITY IN
HAIR DRESSING

INDIVIDUALITY and simplicity are the
two most pronounced features of Golf
fure fashions at present. While the
medium low and low coiffures are pre-
ferred in the great majority of cases,
there are variety of styles shown which
permit a woman to express her own in
divdual ideas in the arrangement OF her
hair.
The Psyche knot. or that effect is
shown in many of the most fashionable
coiffures. This idea is carried ont by use
of switch or by elongated puffs which
are arranged lengthwise and are made
larger in the center to produce the Psyche
effect. Three puffs are, as rule, used in
this form, or more may be added If de-
sired. This is practically the only use
of puffs at present, switches or loose
puff curls are used almost universally in
the arrangement of the hair.
The biscuit form Of hair dressing con
tinues popular. and is especially well liked
by the young girl, who wears the triple
biscuits with one over each ear. Women
OF maturer years who wear their hair
in this style arrange the biscuits close
together in the back, leaving tho ears
exposed.

appliaued onto the overdress OF chlnon
They were placed at intervals on the
chiffon tunic or oversklrt, and one large
spray was on the front of the waist
where both ends OF the fichu came to-

To make rose spray take twelve
strands of fine creWel wool or TWO OF
heavy Germantown wool and pass the
ends through stiletto hole at the side
of the rose design near the top. fasten
the ends securely on the left side with
several strands OF fine wool. Bring the

about one-quarter inch. When the OPP

the wool and bring it back directly under

When buying furs look out for thick,
soft and glossy hair, and it is also desira-
bic at the same time to pinch up the
skin and make sure that it is soft and
pliable. Also look out for pieced furs.

are inferior, but the point is that you do

Yv7OOL embroidery is something quite
w new to the average American girl,
but is an old story to her French
and English cousins. On the other side
of the Atlantic there are a number OF
very fine schools. many of them started
by titled women. where embroideries of
all kinds are taught In them great
deal of attention is paid to wool en-
brodery The old tapestries are copied
in woods.
Woods are ideal for embroidery; they
work up quickly and do not ravel as silks
are apt to do. Silks are sometimes used
in combination with them AS woods are
rather heavy, no padding is necessary for
this work They could be worked di-
rectly on a garment or carried out on a
separate piece of material and applfqued
on to dress or waist afterWard. wool
embroidery is being introduced on even
ing gowns Of chiffon over satin, as well
as on afternoon dresses and waists OF
crepe de chine, cashmere and broadcloth
Some of the combinations seen are blue
wool on white gazon de sore. gray wool
on gray tulle over satin or the same
shade and mauve wool on blue linon sole

various bright colors in an oriental Ell

While crewel woods offer the greater
variety of colors, ordinary Germantown
wool is used extensively for this new en-
broidery To take away the dull look
from these woods, which always appears
even when the brightest colors are used.
"a few threads of gold, silver or copper
are introduced in the wool embroideries.
Beads are sometimes added also.

A Picturesque Revival.

Tailored costumes in cloth, serge or
velvet are being ratified at the wrists with
snow white lawn. This fashion has fol-
lowed the rage for directoire frills on
summer suits, and it looks extremely pic
turesque Some of the frills falling to
the finger tips from the tight fitting sleeves
are accordion pleated. and on the more
ornate costumes delicate lace is used.
The fashion for one-sided ARRANGEMENTS
on day and evening gowns has extended
to the tailormade for the winter. Some of
the coats and skirts are entirely plain on
one side, while the other Is braided or
paneled with buttons and loops as n
finish.
