variety, which has much of the grace
full roundness of the barrel muff, with
out its bulk and awlzwardness.
Very large pelerines of mink, er-
mine and chinchilla, in effect whole
wraps of the shawl or cape variety,
are exhibited for those whose purses
can stand such luxuries,-and are
among the most graceful designs of
this decade.
The woman who cannot, for any
reason, consider a full length fur coat,
will find comfort in the many pretty
short jackets of fur that are to be the
smart thing this winter. These little
short coats are usually about the
length of the fashionable suit jacket,
which is twenty-six to twenty eight
inches, and they are modelled on much
the same lines. Etons of fur are also
pretty and correct, taking the place of
the large pereline, or fur scarf. These
short coats are usually of seal or Hud-
son seal, broad-tail, astrachan or
baby lamb with collars and cuffs, or
other trimmings, of fuller, fiufier fur.
The Etons are sometimes bordered all
about with contrasting fur, while the
jackets show a great variety of large
shawl collars and revers of raccoon,
fox or skunk.
Sailor collars, even, are used on
fur coats, some in square, some in
round, and some in pointed effects.
Forty-five inch coats of fur are oc-
casionalIy seen, and offer an excellent
compromise between the merits Of the
fulI-Iength coat and the short jacket.

most popular mode OF the moment
which is a charming adaptation Of the
peasant hairdress. After the hair is
parted and loosely waved the long
strands over the ears are wound shout
in fiat spiral twists, just back Of the
ears, and the back portion is formed
into a similar twist, or into a-Psyche
knot Sometimes the hair is simply
coiled in irregular strands, brought
well to the front over the ears, and
always with the contour Of the head
exposed. What Is called the Flemish
style is particularly becoming to a
round, young face The hair is parted
from the forehead down to the back
Of the neck and the two sections are
then braided and coiled into circles
that almost cover the sides Of the head.
These braids are drawn together in
the back, but the long line Of parting
is preserved.
Still another variation may be OBJ
tained by having a fall of curls in
the back with the circle twists at
either side. Although curis and purs
are little used these days there are
many women to whom nothing is more

all, a woman should consider becoua-

curl or two resting on the neck OF Just
escaping from a coil braid viii do
much to soften the features. At the
same time nothing viii impart that
old maid look so successfully as any
thing resembling a corkscrew curl too

There is a marked tendency toward
higher effects in coifres and Il is
quite likely that the banished pompa-
dour viii return again to favor. The
Psyche knot placed quite high on the
back of the head with a Moderate
pompadour win be considerably worn
this winter.
Thus it will be seen that a woman
may dress her hair in any style bess

seasons. Mole skin is also shown in
combination with other furs, or made
up in sets, with trimmings of passe-
mentrie. The working of mole-szin
and seal in patterns is one of the
novelties of the present fur season. In
very high priced fur, mink promises
to be a leader for general wear, while
the Coronation" has given an i'm
petus to ermine as a fur for dressy
occasions. The little tails, which are
usually sewed throughout an ermine
garment, are arranged more sparingly
ON this seasons creations, and in some
cases entirely omitted. Some very
broad scarfs of seal have Innings of
plain ermine.
Red, gray, brown and black fox are
all used extensively.-and tipped fox
is exceedingly modish. White fox, for
evening wear, always has large num-
Der of admirers, and is used this sea-
son, as formerly, in pretty. fluffy sets,
or as a trimming to garments OF err
mine.
Fewer. heads and tails are seen on
furs than for some years past, and
this would seem an advance in taste.
OF course, there are fox sets, and sets
of raccoon and fisher, in natural, ami
NAL shades, but for the most part
broad pelerine and shawl collar eff
fects, with trimmings of passamentrie,
braid, fringe or tassels prevail, ac-
companied by plain mufs, slightly
smaller than the modish ones Of last
season. The best shape of muff is
undoubtedly the half-barrel, or pillow

Fichu effects in stoles of short, fine
fur, are sometimes caught at the waist
with a handsome buckle or ornament.
There is a general revolutionary sug-
gestion about present fur fashions, es-
pecially noticeable in fchu and cape
effects, and in broad collars and deep
cuffs.
Turbans Of fur, to match mufr and
scarf, or jacket trimmings, are also
in good style. A fur turban, worn
with a fur coat, and matching the
revers, cuffs and muff, gives a delight
fully picturesque finish to a winter
costume.
In selecting furs, one should bear
in mind that no one fur is universally
becoming. Skunk is quite generally so,
and mink likewise,-but the gray and
black furs are not for all faces. As a
rule, they are most becoming to
blondes and light-complexioned people,
generally, and to those with gray hair.
Very youthful faces always look well
above light furs. Women of olive
complexion should always select a fur
with a brownish cast, unless their hair
is of a raven blackness, when a black
fur may be worn. White furs are
most becoming to dark or rosy faces
the roses of old Jack Frost, however,
render them wearable by many who
are otherwise pale. A little study of
the possibilities of fur in enhancing
the beauty of the complexion, by con-
trast, is not only interesting, but well
worth while, as it enables one to
achieve superior effects,

At the same time, she is never deaf

W cording to an old legend,
Earth and Heaven were
ransacked to provide her
- with charms and graces-
Certainly they have been exploited
ever since for new articles of adorn-
ment, mineral vegetable and animal
nature being called upon to yield their
dearest treasures.
Furs are among the oldest articles
of clothing which have contributed to
the comfort and appearance of hu-
mantty. The idea of snatchfng the
Jackets of his four-footed brothers and
enemies to shield his own tender and
unprotected skin must have occurred
very early to prehistoric man Even
today there is a sort of primitive ap-
peal about rich, glossy skins, fash
ioned into garments Of the utmost
luxury and comfort.
The becomingness of furs, no less
than their beauty and utility, attracts
the fastidious woman.-for, as a set
ting to feminine 1oveliness, they have
scarcely an equal. This is particular
ly true of natural, undyed ftrs, and
thus it is fortunate when a season
like the present favors their use.

comparatively inexpensive fur, also

GIFTS OF FLOWERS.
Small Attentions that Are Always
Appreciated.

There is no more graceful act Of cour-
tesy than to send a box Of flowers to a
friend occasionally. The blossoms need
not be an expensive variety. AT this
season jonquils will frequently give as
much pleasure as roses. and the diff
ference in cost is pronounced.
An older woman always appreciates
immensely the attention OF receiving a
few flowers from younger person. man
or girl Older persons are very apt to
think themselves forgotten, or over
looked. and yet there are few of the
former who do not. occasionally at least,
do something for the amusement of the
younger generation. When a girl is go
ing to pay a courtesy visit to an elder
woman, if she will take with her a hand
full of flowers. her call will mean just
that much more in thought and atten-
ton.

side of the balance II she occasionally
sends a pOtted. blosSoming plant to the
girl her own age. or her hostess mother.
Such gift shows thought and apprecia-
tion of the hospitality received. This is
all that is required.
Good form does not demand that he
should repay his dinners with dinners,

OF the favor he receives.
In the instance of a bachelor and his

court costumes on the day of their we'd
ding.
4 very beautiful court train of this
kind. made of gold and white brocade, is
to be worn by Gn English bride who
will be presented in the spring but who
could not resist the desire to appear in
all her magnificence before leaving her
own home for her husbands. The train
was further embelIished by knots of flow
ers whicn held the tulle veil in place.
The flowers were artificial but made so
cleverly that no one would have sus-
pected that they had not grown in hot
houses. Artificial lilies of the valley and
white orchids were intermingled with
natural flowers OF the same kind to form
the bridal bouquet, the artificial ones be-
ing as perfect as to stand the comparison
without fear of detection.
Beautiful Gowns from Paris.
The most beautiful wedding gowns come
to US from Paris. They are so simple
in form that they could be easily copied
even by the girl who intends to make
her own wedding dress Of inexpensive
ma terials.
A very beautiful one shows a slip of
white. meSsaIine under white marQuisette.
Falling to the knees there is a tUnic OF
marquisette with 4 deep lace edge. The
kimono sleeves are cut in one and have
short cuffs of lace: there is little lace
collar OF the simplest kind. and a high
girdle of soft satin. This same model
has been repeated over lining of silver
tissue. the tunic being shot with silver
threads and the lace run through with
silver.
When silver or gold is used on a we'd
ding gown il tends to make the bride
seem older, and both should be avoided
by very Young girls: the simpler and
