Commenting on the unhappy rela- tons between Dickens and his wife, Goodwin Smith wrote in one of his last papers: "'It was a common case. Dick ems had married at a low level. and his wife had not risen with him; otherwise there was no fault on her side. The matrimonial history of writers of works of imagination has often been unhappy. Their imagination turns the woman into an angel. and then they Ind that she Is a woman"

Powerscourt has long possessed its
beautiful mirrors, but it was reserved
for the present Lady PowerScourt to I'M
earth them from unused rooms and place
them where they could be seen and adj
mired.
The eighteenth century produced the
work, and Lady PowerscOurt is trying to
specialize in these. A Queen Anne mir

example of that style. with delicate
holdings and traceries. though the gen.
eral effect is rather severe.
Her specimens of Chippendale's mir

than ordinarily ornate. One is square.
with heads, scrolls, flowers and leaves

other is made after the manner of its
time. of many separate pieces of glass.

Jennings. if they do somewhat detract
from the pra ctical use of the mirror.
A good example of the ancient Spanish
mirror workmanship hangs on wall
at POwerscourt. 1t is square In shape
and is heavily carved and gilded. At its
top are two lion-like beasts bearing
crown between them.
The wholesale making of looking
glasses seems to have been first started
in Venice and this city retained the
monopoly for many generations. The sew
enteenth century, however. saw factories
started at Paris. TCurnevile and Bat

Then, with the swing Of the pendulum.
hanging mirrors became rather unfash

were built in over mantelpeceS or on
doors. and early Victorian taste decresd
for them simple frames of plain wood.
Back swung the pendulum again, and in
came ornate hanging mirrors. and now
comes a craze for them as well as for
little old pocket mirrors, quaint French
hand glasses and. indeed, every con-
ceivable kind of mirror except those that
are too young.

Costumes of Fur.

Almost simultaneously with the appear
ance of whole costumes of fur at the
Longchamps races, in France. last week,
Manhattan brought out the fur suit idea.
One handsome model shown in Washing
ton consisted of a coat and skirt. The
former was of broadtail. in hip length.
The, skirt from the knees down was also
of the broadtail, finished at the foot with
a protecting band of skunk and a fringe
of gold bullion. The heavy silk Of crepe
texture which formed the upper portion
of the skirt prevented any appearance of
bulk around the hips.
Seal and ermine, seal and 70 and seal
and skunk are favorte combinations in
the full-length coats. One model has the
skirt portion of the coat in ermine and
the body in baby ponyskin. Another in
seal and pony has heavy fringe of silk
cords all the way around the edge, in
back. A fox border of similar design is
broken just at the closing to the left OF
the waist line in front. where there are
two big stone cOlored buttons.
Ermine is very prominent for whole
coats. hats, sets and trimmings. One big
evening cloak is made of the perfectly
white skins without tails, except at the
very bottom. where there is fringe
formed of a row of the little animals
applied fiat against the fur.
Ermine cuffs and a pure white ermine
scarf caught into a bold triangle, tas.
seled ornament of dull silver at each
end, are features of a coat of seal. An
other dull silver ornament clasps the
coat fronts at the waist line.
