IN THE WORLD OF FASHION
By Florence Fairbanks

N>~~~~~~~>>~>~~~ - ">~~~~~~>~>~-"~>~--
New York, Jan. S.-The extensive
use of furs is by far the most striking
feature of the present day fashions
Paris has decreed that fur is to be
used even more lavishly this season
than last and this command Is being
unprotestingly obeyed. The use of vel
vets, chiffons and silks combined witt
fur assures a winter Of rich and be
coming costumes. Fur trimming ap
pears on the richest satins, velvets
and brocades, adorns the filmiest laces
and tulles and may even be noticed
upon the flowing negligee.
If one can afford to be extravagant
a coat suit of fur would not be con.
spicuous. Moleskin or baby lamb will
be the fur chosen for this costume,
but If grace Is desired other material
must be selected. There are, however,
models in which the supple furs are
used in considerable quantity and with
very good effect. These are combined
with velvet, satin or chiffon of the
same tone in color, which offsets the
contrast in material
Sometimes a soft dull blue, rose or
velvet is introduced to relieve the neu-
trail tone. Any of these colors harmon
ICES exquisitely with the taupe. A
handsome suit of this class had a
short-waisted coat, buttoned straight up
the front to the throat. A close fitting
peplum was slashed up to the girdle
on the left side, where large buckle
OF dull blue cloth embroidered in sill
yer finished the girdle. The same col
oring and material appeared upon the
collar, cuffs and buttons. This coat
was worn over a dress of taupe velvet
and chiffon, with touches of blue and
silver about the bodice. A deep band
of moleskin finished the bottom of the
skirt.
There are delightful models of taupe
satin trimmed with bands of moleskin.
Ermine is especially popular as a
trimming in connection with black
velvet or black-and-white combinations
of any material. Usually this is APP
piled in bands, being far too expensive
to be used lavishly A frock of black
velvet and satin had a real lace collar
edged with ermine. This was an ex-
ceptionally successful dress. Bands OF
ermine are often used on evening
frocks, but a dark fur usually proves
more effective. On the deep purple
and mulberry yelvets skunk is used
in great profusion. Moleskin also COM
blnes well with these velvets.
Furs are not only used for entire
toilettes, coats, capes, neck pieces and

for trimming frocks and bodies, wraps
and coats, but are equally popular as
trimming in millinery. Both the long
and the short haired varieties are in
use. Sunk is perhaps the most pop
ular. Imitation seal is frequently seen,
and ermine and mole are much used,
in addition to real seal, on high-class
models. Skunk and opossum are EN-.
ployed in wide and narrow bands, the
narrower bands being usel like a
fringe on the edge of the brim and to
outline the edges of loops or donkey
ears of velvet, lace, maline, etc. FIRE.
quent use is made of narrow roll of
skunk, opossum, mole or ermine
around the crown, with a fiat bow of
the same fur at one side of the crown
Not only are small turbans and
close-fitting hats shown in fur of all
kinds, but large trimmed models are
noted entirely covered with one of
the short-haired furs. In the very large
picture shapes the crown and upper
brim are covered with seal, moleskin
or ermine, while the under brim Is
faced with velvet, silk maline, lace or
some such material.
A French model with broad brim
and low, round crown had the crown
and upper side of the brim covered
with imitation seal, while the under
brim was faced with cerise colored
velvet. Gold roses with cerise velvet
hearts formed the only trimming
Many models are shown with crown
of fur and fange of the same edging
the brim. In addition to such furs as
seal, mole, beaver, ermine, skunk,
opossum, fox, lynx, ETC., the more
novel furs, like raccoon, leopard skin
and civet cat, are also being EN-,
ployed.
Fur, combined with gold or silver
lace, is an attractive combination. Vel
vet hats show the crown covered with
gold lace, or an edge of lace will be
appliqued on either the upper or the
under side of the brim, while a band
Of fur may be passed around the
crown and edge loops of velvet ribbon
or ears of heavy lace, velvet, satin or
other material.
The white or ecru lace which is
used for hats is usually of the heaviest
such as Macrame, Venice,
Irish, etc., while the black laces are
favored in the highest varieties, such
as Chantilly and the shadowy laces.
A large French model in black velvet
had flounce of black shadow lace
gathered around the base OF the crown,
the edge to fall over the
Drim. Around the base of the crown
was a narrow strip of skunk while
second strip encircled the upper side
If the brim midway between the
,rown and the edge. At the side was

INITIATIVE AND REFER
ENDUM THE ISSUE
Ohio Constitutional Convention Meets
Tuesday-Big Fight Between Pro-
gressives and Reaetionaries.
(By Associated Press.1

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. S.-The great
state of Ohio will begin on Tuesday
next the reconstruction of the consti-
tuition. On that day constitutional
convention, recognized by all factions
as preponderantly progressive" if not
radical, will convene in this city for
a struggle in which holly debated ques-
tons of the initiative and referendum,
the recall of public officials, including
the judiciary, and the liquor question,
will overshadow all other proposals.
The fact that neutrality-suspicious.
20 per cent-of the delegates chosen
to this convention are classed as
"progressives," while the more con-
sentative element makes up in deter
mination what it may lack in numbers,
foreshadows a bitter and protracted
struggle. Whatever its outcome, the
people will have thereafter their say"
about it in the ensuing general cleo
ton. They rejected the proposed con-
stitution adopted in 1874.
Ohio is the first state east of the
Mississippi to attempt the revision OF
its organic law since direct legislation
and direct control of pubic officials by
the electorate came nto vogue in sew
eral far Western states, and the out
come in Ohio will be watched with
keenest interest by the people of every
other state.
Analysis Of the statements regard
ing the mental attitude of the dele
gates elected discloses the fact that
all OF. the progressives are for the
initiative and referendum and many of
them want provisions for the recall of
the judiciary. Practically every labor
delegate stands for the recall of all
officers. Many of the farmer delegates,
however, while favoring the initiative
and referendum refuse to include the
recall of judges in their program, at
the same time supporting this idea for
other officials.
Interviews with representative dele
gates throughout the state justifies the
statement that sentiment is more con-
cerned with the proposed modification
of representative government than
with any other matter likely to come
before the convention. They prefer
placing the liqour license question in

BRILLIANT ENTER.
TA1NERs COMING.

Thursday night the Otterbein
Male Quartette comes to Lakeland.
Commenting on their entertainment
at Indianola, Ind, the Record OF
that place says:
Friday evenings program was
turned over to the Otterbein Male
Quartette which gave the Chautau-
que goers of Indianola a variety pro-
gram of song, bell ringing and elocu-
tion. The most appreciated feature
Of their work. no doubt, was their
quartette work. IndianOla loves good
music and when they get something
of high quality, give their attention
and only then. The Otterbeins
seemed to have just the right con-
sistency of popular and high class
work to make their efforts much ap-
preciated. For brilliancy and snap,
perhaps these people equalled any
thing heard in Indianola for Ions
time"

The Methodists Of Lakeland are

good will be done. Arrangements
