FURs THAT BRING MEMORIES
Skunk skin Garments Recall Many
Things 70 Man Who Was
Reared IN Country.

Leopard skin is the fashionable
fur this year. Fortunately leopards
are not so plentiful az to permit the
clothing Of every woman in their
skins; if they were, Fifth avenue,
on bright afternoon, would present
a somewhat pock-marked appearance.
The popularity Of the skunk skin as
a decorative covering for women has
already produced a queer effect to
the eye Of a man who was brought up
in the country. If, as a boy, you
were accustomed to run for cover
when you saw a skunk ambling down
the lane, you would never quite get
over the inclination; and the sight
of the black and white colors of this
magnificent and obstreperous ami
NAL, when conspicuously worn on a
woman's shoulders or head, is surely
disconcerting to you. The fur is, so
to speak, redolent of thrilling mem
cries. 1t recalls a certain starlight
night, when returning from a visit
to your girl, you caught sight Of the
black and white orihamme a little too
late, with the consequence that your
new suit was next day buried from
human sight forever in the remotest
corner of the calf pasture. Women
certainly ought to arrange their
preferences in the matter Of furs in
such manner as to spare the sus-
capabilities of country boys.-New
York Mail.

ARTISTS FIND A NEW ROLE
They VIII Help Dressmakers Of Paris
In Setting Fashions for
Womer's Dress.

For the first time probably in the
history of art and fashion the dress
maker and painter are about to join
hands with view to promoting the
creation of new forms or the adapta-
ton of old ones in womens dress.
The idea originated with great
dressmaker confding his project to
NJ. de la Gondafa, enc Of the fore
most of French painters Of women,
and making him to take it up.
81 refused at first" said de la
Gondara in an interview, because
the couturier regarded the painter
as possible creator of new fashions,
whereas l have always considered
that fashion is the natural reflection
of period. Thus the imperial regime
imposed, quite naturally, the imperi-
al custom of antique style-Greek or
Roman"
M. de la Gondara's principle was
admitted, however, and he accepted
the leadership Of the movement. The
association will hold periodical ex-
positions to which portrait painters
and sculptors will contribute the
product Of their own conceptions and
ideals. The vice-president Of the new
association is the well known artist,
Willette.

DowRY OF MARGINAL sHILLINes.

A friend of mine started the game
of margins some years ago with the
guineas. As an artist he was always
paid with the guinea. To them was
born a daughter, and it occurred to
him to put aside the odd shillings
to a savings bank account in the
name of their daughter. The artist
says that he never missed the mar
ginal shillings; and the daughter,
now twelve years old, has a pleasant
little dowry accumulating against
the time when she gains husband
or loses a father.-London Chron-
icle.
