Seen in Shops
Of the Capital

r OW the weather man has said
nj before witnesses that we Of
i Washington have not by any
means finished with winter and
that the coldest days of the year are
yet to follow. OF course. past expert
ences in Fourth of March weather may
have taught US this fact, but it is hard
to realize it under the balmy influence
of the protracted autumn. Cold weather
is on its way, not just snappy, but very
cold the kind that makes one wish
for furs. When the cold spell comes
the price of fur coats and trappings
will be b. no means lowered, and IL
behooves those who would be warm
to purchase now. when prices are not
only moderate but extremely low. The
department store at the corner Of
Eighth street and Market Space has a
full line of furs of all descriptions, and
according to the speediness with which
they are constantly selling, the stock
is always comparatively new and up
to-date. Two of the best rurs, IN sets
of collar and muff. which can be bought
are black fox and wolf. The wolf is
lustrous, and durable, one set will last
several years IL carefully stored in
the summer, and brushed and cleaned
in the fall A s65 cross-wolf set may
be had for $40 at the department store
mentioned. while one SIS black fox set
sells for s25.
While some Of the lighter furs are
very attractive, the wolf and fox, while
not so very expensive, il genuine. wear
better than anything else. 10
Women should be very careful in the
choice OF furs, for the yare either
great loss or a material gain 70 her
appearance. The sallow. yellow haired
woman should never choose yellow
furs. but the red-haired woman with a
good complexion car wear red fox to
advantage. Civet, black. and errnine
are safe with almost any complexion.
but the varying shades of seal and
pony skin are sometimes trying.
The very rnlovely fashion Of wear
ing heads and tails of the animals
fastened to the furs still prevails, but
not to such a very great degree. Hap
PLY. the huge shawl collar and per,
fectly plain neckpiece are to be noted
from time to time. II is a good idea
to make the old set of furs up into
the small hats which have proved so
popular. then make the purchase Of
the new furs of the same material. II
one certain shade of fur is found to be
very becoming, by all means do not try
to find some other kind just for the
sake of variety. Let the variety come
in the kind of fur, but not in the color
Furs of poor or inappropriate coIoring
can completely spoil an attractive cos
tune.
This IS. for the very same reasons
stated, fine time for buying a warm
winter coat. 1t will not be long before
the coat makers start work on the
spring models. and it is up to the deal
ers to get all of the winter stock ont
of the way. SO as not to impede the
spring sales. At the same Eighth and
market space department store winter
coats which cust originally as high as
s2S are selling for s1o.9s. They are made
in the latest cutaway styles. IN the ma
terals broadcIoth, bengaline. persiana,

For the Children
Just at Bedtime
The Fairy of the Waterspout.
--. Part III.

THE Fairy flew on just as If il
were not pouring rain bit. She
i took her way down the avenue,
past the big gate and out into
the lighted street. Onward she went.
softly but swiftly, through the mist,
over the top OF fine houses, sailing past
the big. gray stores. In the windows
she could see piles Of toys heaped and
in the bake shops tons of steaming
bread, frosted pastries, pies and sugar
figures. But they soon left the shopping
district and took ther way toward the
outskirts Of town.
Dorothy noticed the streets grew mar
row, the houses small there Were< tiny,
ill-kept yards and many windows were
patched with bits of paper. The child
ren looked poorly dressed, and their
faces pale. The Fairy stopped before a
small door. which led into a Gark hall.
We will go in here" she said, lead
ing the way. Dorothy, though wet TO
the skin, followed In moment she found
herself in a tiny garret room: The
walls were of plaster, which was broken
off in patches; there was no rug on the
bare floor, and the only furniture was a
bed in which lay sick mar, broken
chair and a table
The girl noticed that the man was
moaning In his sleep. Prt sently the
door opened and in came Aunt Sarah
and little Alice. Sarah had in her hand
a bottle of milk and some rolls. The
bread she broke into bowl, pouring
the milk over 1t and givii-c it to the
sick man. who ate il with eagerness.
Little Alice sat on the foot of the bed
t,! Ling ABOUT the beautiful things she
had sSSn n, the stores. oh! Dad. she
safd excitedly, Il saw a big doll dressed
in pink with silver spangles on her skirt,
ana a fairy book. and tea-set in china,
painted with pink roses and Santa
Clauses, and bushels OF candy. and
millions OF bushels OF toys-it was just
ine."
The sick man smiled feebly. He look
en- around the chill, bare room. out OF
lie window at -he mist streaming down
the panes, at the table on which stood
rCthIng but q smoky lamp and the bowl.
Their ne glanced at the eager brown
face SO happy in thinking about the
bright things, and not realizing that
none were for her.
All this time Dorothy and the Fairy
had stood at the foot of the bed but
somehow the people in the room did not
seem to notice their presence. perhaps
they do not see us" whispered the girl
to the Fairy.
They do not either hear or see US"
replied the Fairy. for We are invisible
to all their eyes
Poor. little Alice" said Dorothy.
"How sad it is that she has to live in
such a cold, bare room and have no
toys"
Yes" replied the Fairy. You see
how little some people have and how
much you enjoy. But do you think
about others, about sharing some Of
all you have with them. about helping
others to be comfortable and happy?

Dorothy hung her head. Yes. she was
mean and selfisn. All the money and
Jewels and silks the world owned could
not change that. The rings and neck
laces would not alter the fact that her
neart was cold and unfeeling. Alice went
10 a corner and brought a doll which
she rad made-it was stick with rag
wrapped about 4.

Her heart was touched at last, and she
felt ashamed Of her proud. selfish spirit
So out of the window again they flew,

she was picking herself up from the

shone in from the street, but the glow
