HOW TO UTILIZE
SCRAPS OF FUR
BY ELIZABETH LEE.

Since fur is used this season on every
thing from hats to shoetops the woman
who has odd bits of pelt lying by is in
deed fortunate. for She can be up-to-date
at very little cost. Even the very tiniest
scrap can be utilized, if it is only large
enough to cover button. For buttons
are a feature both hats and wraps
The shorter-haired furs, as moleskin are
used to cover buttons and trimming cloth
while velvet demands the fiuffier pelts
Narrow lines of mink outline the tops
and the other edges Of vests, trim the
ends of cravats. finish the brims of hats
and edge overskirts. Any woman who
knows how to sew can apply these trim
mings herself so that she can bring her
wardrobe up to date at practically no
cost at all IL she has odds and ends of
fur at her disposal. She should provide
herself with a fur needle. This has three
sides to it instead of being round. Use a
fine cotton, not silk. The latter cuts
The reason the fur needle Is used Is be-
cause a round needle coarse enough to go
through the fur would leave a hole the
thread following could not fill.

I latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

You probably have a dress put away in
some box that isn't the least worn, but
absolutely and hopelessly out of date,
with yards and yards Of nice material in
it, as most things out of date seem to
have in these days of the scant skirt, ana
YOU probably have wished for the recur

utilize the goods in your dress to advan-

pleasure in it's possession as in that of
a new dress. 1t certainly requires much
skill and patience TO do all the necessary
ripping apart. pressing and cutting over
needed in the process of reconstruction.
Being not very complicated, the sketch
here shown would seem to be an excel
lent design to remodel by. combining good
style and simple lines, as 1t does Its
tunic suggests the Russian blouse. which
is popular as it ever was. The blouse
fastens down the left SIDE is cut with
kimonO sleeves or can have sleeves set
into a deep armhOle. The skirt tunic eX-
tends to the knees and is cut from a
gored pattern fastening down the side in
line with the blouse. The draping at
the bottom of the tunic is seton drap-

width of the material, if it is wide, and
draping it around the tunic proper from

the other side.
To make so much Of the dress would
probably use up all the largest pieces
of your old dress, SO an effective and
stylish method to complete the skirt
length would be to match your material
in silk and have an accOrdiOn-plaited
underskirt of il.
This in tan cheviOt, with tan silk

buttons and tabs of self material, would
be very good indeed. Or navy blue, with

fashionable, and short length will

base of a tam-O' shanter crowned hat Is
very smart.
Moleskin is the fashionable fur this
winter. Should there be any scraps of

brought out. This fur is most effective
on cloth and next on satin 1t Is not
altogether a success as a trimming on

There is a tone. too Of this color that
is remarkably effective with white. The
gray has a BLUSH cast to it.

On Christmas Cards.
By Ruth Cameron.

What are you making Of Christmas
cards?
Are YOU letting them help you solve the
problem of how to remember all those
friends toward whom your heart Is warm
at Christmas time. without bankruptlng
yourself, soul and body. and pocketbook!
Or are you letting the Christmas card
habit impose an additional burden upon
you?
The other day I was standing in front
Of one of those shops whose windows
blaze with thousand vari-cqlored
Christmas cards, rejecting with pleasure
that these offered blessed solution OF
our annual struggle, when I heard one
woman say to another:
"Oh, dear, I've got to spend half the
afternoon in there picking out postcards!
AS If it wasn't enough that I've spent
every spare moment for the last six
months on my Christmas work and
ford, now I've got to put out a lot more
money and time on Christmas cards: I've
got list of thirty-twO that I suppose
I've got to send to. l really think this
Christmas card business is the last
straw"
Now wasn't she a foolish woman?
And yet I don't doubt that there are a.
great many like her, who. instead of sub
shutting word of greeting. on a pretty
Christmas card for gifts that they can
not afford to make. will simply send as
many gifts as before, and in addition build
up a long list of friends with whom they
feel in duty bound to exchange Christ
mas cards.
Christmas-gift giving has become a
ridiculously abnormal growth. It needs
to be reduced, not enlarged. And the
pretty Christmas cards, with their APP
propriate and beautiful sentiments. which
fill our shops offer us an opportunity to
do this.
Are you going to accept it or not?

front and back. which are pointed, have
the appearance of being slOped, but In
reality the line of the underbrim is per-
fectly straight from center front to CEN
ter back The trimming may be placed
either at the side or directly at the back,
in which latter case it of course empha-
sizes the long backward line. unless as in
the original. the trimming consists of a
bunch of cOque feathers which spreads
up and over the entire back Of the hat,
which cuts off the line somewhat.
These back trimmings, where the line
of the hat is successfully retained, are x
tremely chic, but it is perilous for the In
experienced milner to undertake them.
for there is no halfway work with them.

FadS of the Season.

Waist belts are very decorative and
give a dainty finish to the indoor frocks
This winter the dressmakers are devot-
ing much time to the study Of the sep
arate waist.
The Robespierre fashion promises to be
the rage in both blouses and one-piece
dresses.
The new English raincoats for girls
have a porous "SWeatband' inside across
the shoulders.
Many of the new gowns have their
skirts caught at the foot by buttons and
ornamental straps.
The fad for making one side of the
bodice different from the other is as much
as ever in evidence.
On some of the high tan boots there is
a little half-inch strap that fastens the
top instead of the last two buttons.
A costume of rich dahlia-colored velvet
is perfect with skunk borders.
Some of the new effective flouncings are
of linen and they show floral patterns in
blind work, with an occasional lace me-
dallion.
Moleskin is one of the fashionable furs
that trim beautifully with ermine This
fur combination is to be much worn in
scarf and muff sets.
The drop skirt has returned Satin of
the costume color is used for the DROP
The skirts are being made for use with

Smooth Furs Popular.

Fur is treated very much as fabrics
are for millinery purposes. The pets
nowadays are put through a modern
process that renders them as soft and
assupple as cloth, so that practically any
thing can be done with them that can
be- done with velvet, and there is the
same liability to mistake with fur as
there is with velvet, which is that the
hat made of it IS apt to be too heavy and
poRoerous looking to be altogether at
tractive. Fur, OF course being more
bulky, requires a slightly smaller frame
than velvet. but. at that, infinite care
should be taken in selecting a hat of
