ment which has grown up against It.
The handsomest pushes make up into
wraps quite as beautiful, and are fur
nished with the same expensive furs
In borders and muffs.
The heavier furs will not answer
for wraps OF this kind. Natural and
dyed squirrel and ermine are used.
and sealskin is ideal for ample gar
ments which must not be too heavy.
Instead of furs, handsome plushes are
used for garments which are to be
within reasonable cost. These
pushes in the best grades are high
priced fabrics, but at that. much less
costly than fur. There are cheaper
grades that will look we'll and outlast
the season. For wraps and outside
garments nothing is more fashionable
and more satisfactory than the plush
limitations Of fur. which are often SO
close in appearance to the original
as to deceive the average eye.
The furs most favored for trimming
coats are martin, skunk, civet cat, fitch
and fox. These are the moderately
long haired furs. Mink and sable ard

Thus within quarter of an hour
after meeting the boss Of Belmont,
Wright found himself invited to his
home. The circumstances that had
brought about the invitation he would
have considered out OF the range of
all reason half an hour before. He
knew the game too well not to under
stand how the easy boss works and all
unconsciously Gloria was seeking to
further her fathers plans.
Through friendship. loyalty and a
sense Of obligation which one Is not
permitted to forget, the political lead
er obtains active cooperation where
to deny him would appear base ingrat-
itude. To keep from being placed in
such position was Wright's one aim.
Consequently, to Gloria's invitation he
merely murrhured a polite assent. in
wardly resolving to find sufficient ex-
cuses to make 1t impossible for him
to be a visitor at Locust Lawn. Yet
something within him at the same
time was telling him that he must see

with Judge Gilbert. Her only conso-
lation for being late to the theater
was that every one would be there to
see her arrive. She knew that when
she entered the box every one would
turn to look at her. A harmless little
thought certainly for so pretty girl
as she. She tried to beguile the time
by questioning Tom. but the driver
had suddenly lost his tongue. due to
Kerr's order issued privately, and
talked only indifferently on Indifferent
topics. He was grossly ignorant con-
cerning matters which to Miss Kerr
seemed of vital importance.
At last came her father with the an
nouncement that she was to come in
to meet Judge and Mrs. Gilbert. The
