WITH A BORDERING OF FUR
Goats Mostly Have a Trimming Of One
Kind of Peltry That Is Com
bined With Another.

The definite feature Of fur this year
Is the trimming of one y 1 Of pei
try with another. Some fL.s such as
~chinchilla, squirrel, caracul and Loop
ard are sometimes ingeniously trim
med by a cross arrangement Of the
fur, but more often lynx, skunk or
9ox-with sable for very expensive
wraps-is chosen, and no fur coat of
the season is truly up to date with
out its bordering of fur.
For the woman Of moderate means
the coney or squirrel coat is a very
real luxury in which she may feel
as comfortable and look as smart as
the woman OF wealth In her e~xtrava-
CANT garments Of fur, and really the
vogue OF such coats, especially In
squirrel, Is becoming a veritable
craze. C%hlnchilla has practically dis
appeared. but one only notes this In
passing, in order to add how much
gray furs are liked and to add that
one Of the popular favorites Of this
year Is ohinchilla squirrel, the skin
being cleverly dyed sc that they real

ly do resemble chinchilla, though they
can never have the true silvery soft
ness OF the real fur.

ton of needles and pins and to the
outer side may be suspended scissors
and emory. The same sort of bag,
but Of a different shape, may be made
by shaping the p~asteboard foundations
into oblongs and running the sides of
the silken strip to their upper cor
ners. When the squares or oblongs
are covered with plain silk or satin
and the shirred strip is Of a Powered
material, the effect ia especially
pleasing.

NEEDLEWORK NOTES

Cheap handkerchiefs for school chill
dren can be made out OF sheer lawn or
India linen dresses.
Some Of the most exquisite modern
point lace IL made in the Vienna
schools by trained peasant labor.
Crocheted bedspreads are the fash
lon again. One OF the p%rettisst pat
terms Is formed of blocks crocheted
together and may be made Of carpet
warp or a coarse white twisted GRO
Chef cotton.
A practical overall apron has the
sleeves reaching to the wrist and Is
cut slightly square at the neck, fas-
tening at the back. Many people are
having these In a light make OF silk or
wool to slip over a good dress when
housekeeping and to save the trouble
of too many changes Of attire.
When sewing buttons on, II a mar
row pieces of tape Is threaded through
the button and a small hole pierced
through the article and the tape
drawn through and the ends OF the
tape stitched down fiat on the wrong
side, the button will be found to last
as long as the article.
Chea pthread and sewing silk are
dangerous economies. and 1t is bet
ter to use such for basting and coarse
hand sewing and have the best for
machine sewing. Breaking thread or
thread that knots Is m~addening, and
silk that fades and bresAs after 1t

SHORT BLOUSE is POPULAR
Good Reason for the Vogue Which
This Servlceable Garment 10 just
Now Enjoying.

Young girls are finding the mannish
shirts made Of strifed or plain wash
able silk or crepe de chine very much
to their lining. Most of the models
are absolutely masculine in the Sc
verify Of their lines. This, however.
appeals to the girl who likes to ex-
plot the latest fad Of fashion. Those
who dislike the plainness add a jabot
of lace or a bow at the neck line, but
the majority prefer to wear the blouse
as 1t is, with a simple fastening Of
buttons down the front.
The buttons are OF crystal, white or
colored to match the blouse and
stitched with heavy white silk.
A cape collar finishes the neck and
b most becoming to girls. 1t exposes
the throat in front and is comfortable.
1t differs from the polo collar, mas
much as very little Of it shows from
the front. At the back there is am
pie width, and, in some cases, consid-
cradle depth.
Slate gray, blue, pink, velvet and
stripes are equally favored for fash
1oning the mannish blouse. The tie
worn with cape collar ia knotted.
and has loosely hanging ends. 1t
may be of velvet. striped silk or dot
ted satin. Ties Of two colors, one
side green, red or blue and the other
white, are the new notes. The maybe
tie Of black and white is extremely
popular. The girl who admires nov
city will invest In two or three bIouses
Of this variety. They are very prac-
tlcal for business women and for
schoolgirls.

A small slit must be cut in the ma
terial for the hook to pass through,
and for appearance sake, that por-
ton Of the hook which Is visible may
be bound round and round with mar
row ribbon, chosen of a color to match
the velvet. Inside the stand a piece of

beautiful shade of yellow with a dash

there is q pale orchid mauv which
Is equally effective with chincEiila or
