A GOLDEN SEASON.

~ TITLE by little the yellow peril
in dress has been creeping on,
"a until now there is grave danger
of the social season-as far as gas
light gowns is concerned being
made utterly monotonous by pre-
ponderance Of yellow hues. No color
so soon becomes tiresome as yellow
not even red, yet no color is so vivid
ly noticeable in a gathering of other
tints. The trouble arises when too
many women select gowns of the
striking color. the brilliant toilettes
en-. masse eclipsing the individual eff
feet any single one might have. Not
only are yellow evening gowns the
fad, but also yellow negligees, yellow
Innings, yellow batiste night
gowns and chemises. yellow chiffon
blouses-and now, a late addition to
this yellow obscession, yellow tweed
street suits. There is no valid reason
why a yellow tweed tailleur should
not be as correct in winter as yellow
linen costume of the same character
Is in summer, yet the yellow clad one
on a bleak midwinter day can scarce
ly fail to attract an amount of atten-
ton rather disagreeable to the woman
of refined taste.

fox, Sitka fox, Canadian fox, Japanese
fox and so on. Wolf and bear, clev-
erly brushed and dyed also pass as
fox and bring fox prices, though no
reputable furrier will engage in such
practices. A black wolf set costs from
twelve to twenty dollars for muff and
neckpiece. Genuine fox, dyed black.
costs from twenty to thirty dollars a
set. White fox in good quality may
run up to fifty dollars, and for the
beautiful gray Japanese fox good
deal more may be paid. The hand
some fox set pictured combines point
ed and plain black fox of rich quail
ity, the feathery pointed fox being
mounted most effectively on large an
imal skins of the plain black fox, two
skins being used for the muff and
two for the neckpiece. 1t is always
safe to invest in fox, even in pointed
fox for the beauty of the fox pelt, and
the refined and inconspicuous mark
ings of the pointed fox, keep these
furs always in fashions good graces
and like the high class mink, sable
and ermine, they endure season after
season with no loss of prestige.
The two big fox brushes used to
add to the luxurious effect. This point
ed fox set accompanies a restaurant
gown of gold beaded black chiffon. In
terposed between the gold-beaded
tunic and the Trailing skirt of white

dion pleated black chiffon which
gives an effect of great softness to
the ensemble. With handsome, formal

type, with high heels and very thin

Monkey the Freak Fur of the Winter.
Twenty years ago, when the debu-
tantes of this season were in their
perambulators, black monkey was the
fashionable fur on Fifth avenue. Mo-
body knows what has become of all
the black monkey muffs, neckpieces
and shoulder capes of that period, but
they have disappeared as though the
earth had swallowed them up. 1t is
not probable that even a missionary
or a country cousin-the usual recip-
tents of out furs--could now
produce a scrap of black monkey. But
10! here is monkey once again on Fifth
avenue, the very ghost of its old self,
for instead of being glossy black, the
long, struggling hairs are white and
form very striking contrast with the
dark coats over which they are worn.
A set of white monkey intended for
Christmas giving is illustrated. Not
in ones widest dreams could this
bit of peltry be called beautiful. In
deed, were it met In even quiet little
dream, not even a nightmare, it would
probably be alarming enough to make
one fee, shuddering, into Wakeful
Land. But nevertheless. white mon
key is a most faddish fur and will
very likely enjoy brief popularity
with young women who go in for con-
spicuous raiment
White Furs Are the Debutantes' Own.
Seasons come and seasons go but
white fox and white ermine hold their
own in popularity. No furs are so ex-
quisitely suited to young girlhood. or
so beautiful with costumes of fabrics

med or untouched with any other fab
young girls in their early teens; the
white fox set of even debutante be-
ing given a certain sophistication by
knowing touches of black. Note, for
example, the two white fur sets pic
tured, both intended for debutante
wear this season. The white fox neck
piece and muff are trimmed with frills
of wide black silk, the muff especially
being very coquettish and anything
but babyish in its smart combination
of black and white. This white fox
set accompanies a tea frock of Besnard
red mohair and worsted mixture. the
tunic and bodice draped over black
satin. Equally fetching is the set of
white ermine mixed with sealskin in
a bold, checkerboard effect. One side
of the muff has a broad band of the
seal and the stole is oddly shaped,
narrow end crossing very wide, tab
shaped end. There Is saucy cap of
sealskin. turned up at the back to
show an ermine lining, and the furs-
which hail from Paris. accompany a
luncheon costume in two shades of
blue.
The all-fur hat, however, is not as
popular this year as the velvet model
trimmed delicately with fur, and only
in occasional instances does one now
find muff, neckpiece and hat to match.
That the cheekerboard or diamond
motif is extremely popular in furs this
winter is evidenced again by the muff
and collar set of moleskin. The beau
tiful pelt in this instance has been
dyed soft purple shade. to match a
theatre gown of wistaria lansdowne.
Embroidered silk gloves of the same
color and a small hat in the purple
shade of the moleskin complete a
charming costume.

against the trapping of these animals
until the supply has had time to null
tiply. A sable nun and neckpiece
these days are as conspicuous a hall
mark of opulence as a diamond tiara
even more of a proof of prosperity,
for while diamonds may be cleverly
initiated. sable is sable and always
speaks for itself.
Skunk Holds It's Own In Favor.
There seems to be no diminution in
the vogue of skunk This fur is so
graceful and so beautiful. and it
makes such an inimitable trimming
for shorter haired pelts like ermne,
mole, Persian lamb and caracul, that
the furriers can scarcely get enough
of it to go around; and handsome
skunk-trimmed neckplece and muff
cost now five times what they could
have been bought for a few seasons
ago when this fur first came into no.
tice. Civet cat, the little French
cousin of American skunk, who has
lively white trimmings on his dark
brown coat, Is having a momentary
popularity; but the strongly marked
civet Is a dangerous pelt to buy IL one
must keep a weather eye on the fu-
ture: for no pelt of such decided
markings can retain fashionable favor
very long. Ciyet is faddish and mod
ish, but there is nothing in the least
distinguished or elegant about 1t.
Women who can afford all the furs
they want have civet trimmings on
motor coats, carrying mink, fox, mole
or some more exclusive fur when for
mally dressed.
But there Is one combination In
which civet Is strikingly effective; and
this is when the fur is used to- trim
tailleur of light red cloth. A cos
tune of this sort was one of the most
attractive things to be seen at the
Army and Navy football game, and
the warm, vivid red tailleur was de-
lightful against the out-of-door win
ter background and among a crowd of
mora somberly dressed folk. The color
of the suit was a subtle shade between
coral and CARDINAL shade that one
sees in the exquisite little paintings
by Vibert-and the material of the
suit was broadcloth. There was very
little civet fur-just narrow collar
band and still narrower cuffs and
large, limp muff a tiny bit longer than
square. The young girl wore a small
black velvet hat with an audaciously
poised, stiff feather, patent leather
buttoned boots and black kid gloves.
and the dashing. chic effect of the
costume may be imagined.
Fox In All Grades And At All Prices.
The woman who has Christmas-fur
money to spend should be wary about
fox. Not all the furs called fox by
the salespeople are fox by any means.
No pelt masquerades so successfully,
or coaxes the cost of it's betters like
the humble fence-corner fox which
may be dyed almost any shade the
furrier pleases and pass as Russian

SUGGESTIONS FOR MOTHERS.

"LTHOUGH 1t is not so serious.
n children have fever much oftener
than adults. But even a slight
fever, probably caused by eating too
much cake at supper, must be watched
or 1t will develope into a serious Ill
ness. All solid food should be avoided
and the child given an alcohol friction
bath. Remove all clothing and wrap
clean, dry sheet or lightweight
blanket around the child.
Expose one small portion of the
body at one time. beginning with tho
chest. and apply equal parts of all
cohol and water with the hand or d
piece of absorbent cotton. Rub th<|
dampened skin brislly but gently Will
the hand until 1t is entirely dry. Dc|
not dry with a towel. Moisten th<|
skin again and rub dry a second timt|
and in this manner go over the entirt|
body.
Allow plenty of time for the skin
to dry in the rubbing. This reduced
the fever by a cooling effect or rapid
evaporation, and the friction brlnGI
the blood to the surface in health
giving circulation. Fever generally ap}
pears with cold. Always allow th@
child to drink plenty of water.

a II mas and New Year the only
n M women not absorbed in the big
sA> White Sales are those who have
Christmas money to put in furs. Some
times, though not in average cases,
Christmas furs are chosen before
Christmas; but there is a sentiment
against knowing all about ones gift
and how much IL costs ahead of
schedule time, and the average woman
likes to do her own selecting too,
for tastes vary in furs as decidedly
as they do in hats and wraps. So
usually the Christmas fufs are repre-
sented on Christmas morning by a
more or less substantial check, and
though surreptitious looking about and
asking Of prices may have been done
irf anticipation OF Santa's generosity.
the actual buying is done immediately
after Christmas.
And by the same token, furs that
have been presented on the day Of
gift-malIing are often surreptitiously
conveyed to the furriers afterward to
be exchanged. There's as much diff
ference in becomingness made by an
inch in the width of neckpiece as
by an inch in the width of a hatbrim.
Some women can wear large neck
pieces but huge muffs make them
look clumsy. Other women adore
mammoth muffs but believe they look
best in narrow fur collarettes. The
giver of the furs would be truly
grleved to feel that the costly gift
does not utterly please and, all things
being equal in the price matter and
matter of fur quality, would vastly
prefer to have the recipient of the
gift happy than disconnected SO the
days between Christmas and New
Years are likely to be busy ones for
the furriers and by January first
everybody will have been suited. all
the furs will have been picked out
and the furrier may as well fold UP
his tent like the Arab and silently
steal away. for all the good his bust
ness will be to him till the end of
next August.
Santa's High Favorite This Year Is
Fitch.
Have you wondered what the deli
cately fluffy. light brown fur with dark
markings, worn by SO many smartly
dressed women, may be? . 1t is a fur
with the feathery quality of sable, but
1T is much lighter than sable and much
more distinctly marked This pelt is
Fitch, the momentary favorite of FASH
ion. Fitch has been worn for two
seasons but its apogee of popularity
comes this year, and though the
woman of fashion may indulge her
within in the fur of the moment, caring
little about its future, the woman who
has Christmas money to spend for
fnrs-and must buy with an eye to
next winter, and perhaps even the
winter after neXt-will be wiser not
to select anything as ultra modish and
as conspicuously marked as Fitch, for
by another season some other pelt will
very likely be the rage.
