hats, one or the other (and oftener
both together). tell of the love of
luxurious clothing which seems to be
Unborn in women. Brocades and furs
lin the parlance of the street-"talk
money" They are rich and beautiful
beyond all other materials.
In keeping with the richness of SUI
perb fabrics, garments are cut on
voluminous lines. Cloaks are big,
enveloping, richly trimmed and draped
about the figure. Fur collars and
cuffs, gold and silver laces by way
of adjournment. add to their sumptu-
BUSINESS.
Although many coats, especially
those of all fur, are shorter than the
model shown here, many brocaded
coats trimmed with fur are very long.
This is fortunate for the average
woman. 1t takes a tall figure to wear
the shorter coats with any style.
All coats, whether long or short,
hang in to the figure at the bottom.
If you would be in the class of the
ultra fashionable, remember that in
all your gowns and cloaks you are to
strive for the effect of wrapping your
figure with loosely hanging garments.
Except about the feet everything is
full and roomy. But withal this
wrapped up figure, cloaks hang easily,
away from the neck and loosely about
the shoulders. In fact, garments are
cut to produce the pose of French

FASCINATION OF THE POPPY
Has Effect on Bees and Animals the
Same az It Has on tho
Human Race.

The direful effects Of opium upon
animals and the fearful temptation it
is to some of them are set forth in a
recent number of the French Gazette
des Hopitaux, which quotes soma
strange evidences gathered by Francis
GARNER in China in 1878.
The culture Of the poppy" writes
GARNER, has caused most important
article-wax-to disappear from the
market Of YunnaE. According to the
natives, the bees, formerly very nu-
merous in this part of China, have
experienced for the poppy flower the
same morbid liking that the Chinese
feel for the juice that is drawn from
its fruit. In the season wheE the
poppy fields are in bloom these insects
come In crowds to ransack them, but
they are unable afterward to regain
their taste for other food, and they
perish after two successive seasons.
Another example of this singular
attraction that the poppy exerts upon
animals as well as upon men was
called to our attention. In an opium
refineryain the city it was noticed that
the rats came every evening in great
numbers to snuff the fumes that arose
from the furnaces. Following the sud-
den occupation Of Yunnan by the Mo-
hammedans the refinery was closed
down and was abandoned for time.
When new owner took possession he
found upon the waiting that remained
In place many dead rats. These had
died OF hunger while waiting for the
pleasure they had been accustomed to
enjoy in breathing the opium fumes"

BEST METHODS

IF you have dark and glossy hair.

displayed by the beautiful brunette
who is pictured here. Instead of
striving for any of the fluffy or any
of the severely plain styles in Golf
fures, select those, which bespeak a
rich abundance of shining hair.
There, Is almost no wave in the hair
dressed in this fashion. But 1t is
carefully coiled braided and pinned
with many small pins into position.
There are four coils overlapping
across the back of the head, those at
each side being first braided loosely.
The ears are covered except at the
lobes. and the hair is brought out only
little way on the cheek. A few
short locks are Just barely curled at

SIZE
Should Not Have Eaten pie

Emerson's period of literary produc-
ton might have been considerably
longer had he followed the light break
fast regime advocated by the Lancet.
In one of Mr. H. J. Warmers letters to
his wife he writes: I'VE are all hu-
man and we all need cheering cups
but not pie at breakfast! It was
pie at breakfast that broke down
Emerson prematurely; no human be-
ing, however well. can live long and
keep his mind unclouded on pie at
breakfast. Emerson lost his mind-or
memory at a much earlier period
than he would have been likely to
lose It owing to the vicious habit Of
pie at breakfast"

women in wearing wraps of fur
they wear such garments as if they
were slipping off the shoulder
Fox. skunk and martin are favored
for collars, cuffs and borders. White
fox and furs dyed in fancy shades are
smartest for evening wraps. After
all. the dark furs make the best COM
bination with rich brocades.
1t will not be hard to picture to
the mind the wrap shown here, with
dark mole-colored ground having deep
Natter blue in the pattern of foliage
and flowers which covers it. The
combination is quiet but very rich.
There Is almost no combination more
elegant
Brocades for such coats are wide
and they are expensive. One must
expect them to cost from ten to twen-
ty dollars yard. They are more
costly than plain velvet, but such
triumphs of the weaver's art must
bring a price commensurate with their
superb beauty.
Muffs and turbans are made of these
rich fabrics, and trimmed with fur.
They lend elegance to plain costumes
without requiring great outlay OF
money. Fabric muffs are draped and
are larger than those of fur.
1t will be noticed that the material
is draped In the seams of the coat
pictured here and that the shoulder
line Cor the lack Of shoulder line) pre-
serves the vague outline of the figure
which fashion delights in.

the ends at the side and lie fiat to the
temples.
This couture may be managed by
any one having fairly thick hair, even
If it is short Brunettes are blessed
with hair even in color. and the coils
at the back are easily managed with
short novelties which will match the
natural hair exactly. 1t is not SO easy
for blends to find a perfect match, as
blond hair is generally somewhat
streaked
In dressing this couture nearly all
of the hair is combed back to form the
coils. These require four strands,
and they are parted off evenly. BY
waving the hair q little it is easier to
make the coils full and light and gives
the back of the couture better fin
