McCarthys bulldog courage had re-
covered from its first daze. He began
to see that this visitation was not en-
tirely personal, but extended also to
his two companions. This relieved
his mind, for he had suspected some
strange new apoplexy. {

Darrow nodded.

mand has devastated the ranks of the

most valued.
Chinchilla is growing rarer and
rarer, and before long will probably

all are rising in price as they dimin-
ish in quantity. Each year the max
ers of fashion take up some one OF
the less expensive furs and make 1t
a fad in order that the average wom-
an may find in the modishness of
fur she can buy some compensation
for the fact that the best of the furs
are beyond her reach.
The small furs are varied and at
tractive this year and while some of
the models are undeniably freakish
there are few without charm. There
is decided liking for the little col.
larettes and neck scarfs of fur.
These are often trimmed with LOOPS
of ribbon held in place by jeweled
buckle. Some of these little collar
cites are made of a combination OF
long and short haired fur.

FURS IN COMBINATION
ONE OF THE SMARTEST OF THE
SEASONS FASHIONS.
Few Coats Are Made Entirely of Ono
Kind of Fur-Flne Imitation Seal
10 Being Very Largely
Used Just Now.

A graceful amplitude ls the keynote
Of the smartest coats They are loose
about the hips, gathered in rather
snug yet graceful folds at the bottom.
The fronts invariably slope away to-
ward the back. ending In a rounded
point directly at the back The upper
part OF the coat is usually finished
with a shawl collar of some long
haired fur or high standing collar
which. when open, falls back in deep
revers displaying the exquisite lining
OF brocade which usually accompanies
coats of the more costly type. II the
collar is shawl shaped II is fashioned
In fichu style and fastens low in front
A combination of furs is a salient
feature of the seasons modes in both
the small furs and the coats, and ii Is
rather the exception to find a hand
some coat made entirely of one kind
of fur. Certain ermine evening coats
and the rare sable coats. to whose
beauty no other fur could add, are the
most noteworthy exception.
Moleskin is combined with SEAL
with ermine, with the dyed fox or soft
taupe tone, with skunk. with white
fox. Black caracul is relieved by any
and all of the dark long haired furs
and by opossum, chinchilla, ermine.
There are also smart models made
entirely of sealskin. These usually
have enormous collars and cuffs.
Sealskin is perhaps the smartest
fur for street and evening wear, but
majority of the luxurious cloaks shown
are made up in fine imitation seal
rather than the excessively costly
real seal. and the most exclusively
makers do not hesitate to develop
models in the imitation fur.
Extravaganza in furs has grown by
leaps and bounds within the last Is
years. and each year the prices de-
manded for really fine furs soar. The

KEEPING CLEAR OF STAINS
Have Been Cooked is One Of the
Most Effective Helps.

Isn't it annoying to find that spot OF
grease or fruit stain has been drop
ped on the front of new blouse or
dress? On silks and delicate scarfs
these marks can generally be removed
by this simple method, which | don't
suppose you've heard of before. Crate
two large peeled potatoes into basin
of cold water, and at the end of half
an hour strain and put the potatoes
into another bowl of water. Then
when the sediment has quite settled
rub or sponge the affected part with
the liquor.
Grease spots should be treated with
paste made with fullers' earth mixed
with two-thirds of water and one-third
of ammonia. Placing blotting paper
under the stain, spread the paste OH
thickly. and leave for "a hours, then
brush it off.

BRACELETS OF BLACK VELVET
Fad That Has Been Taken Up and
lndorsed by the Leaders OF
Paris Society.

It has now become fashionable in
Paris to wear broad bracelet of black
velvet on the left arm. 1t fits the
wrist snugly and is held in place by
large monogram of small diamonds
bedded in platinum.
Everywhere one sees his one orna-
ment worn on the arm with an eve
ming costume. 1t is far more conspic-
uous than a jeweled bracelet and
serves to cover the ugliest part of a
woman's arm, which is the bone at the
wrist
BY the way, black ornaments are be-
coming more fashionable each day,

rose for afternoon gowns and morning
hats, the black velvet bracelet at din

Estimating Your Supplies

In large institutions the time that
certain supplies last has been tested
down to a fine point. Only by know
ing very carefully how long certain
supplies will last can the army and
other large institutions buy intelli-
gently and thus take advantage of the
reduced price given on large orders.
While many women are good mana
gers" many more should more def
nitely test how long certain supplies
last the family under average condi-
tions. 1t is possible to estimate how
long coffee, tea, staples. cereals. ETC..
will last, and make large quantity
orders on which the housewife can OBJ
tain a generous discount. But unless
this quantity buying is based on care
ful estimates it will not result in the
saving of money and time 1t other

Value of labor.

Labor is a commodity to be bought
ard sold Notwithstanding the maudlin
criticism of some theorists, writes G.
W. Post in Leslie's. Labor is not the
mar himself, whom / consider a part
OF the divine, but labor is his output
just the same as wheat is the output
of the farmer. and it is subject for
purchase and sale, and upon its quail
ity depends its demand and its value.
There are two kinds of labor, the one
manual and the other mental. When
the skilled workman possesses train
ed mind which directs his hands, he
rises in value, and when he reaches a
plane where his mind is 30 well train
ed that he in turn becomes a creator
and must needs devise and direct he
then requires other hands to carry
out his ideas. Then he again rises il
the plane of value to humanity, or
his compensation must keep pace.

abruptly stilled The roar of the city
died as living creature is cut by the
sword-all at once, without the transi.
tionary running down of most silences
Absolute dense Stiffness. like that of a
sea calm at night, took the place of
the customary city noises. In his as
tonishment Mccarthy thrust heavy
inkstand off the edge OF his desk. 1t

noiselessly, as would the inkstand in
moving picture.
To have ones world thus suddenly
stricken dumb, TO be transported oral.
ly from the roar Of city to the peace
of a woodland or a becalmed sea is
certainly astonishing enough.
But this silence was particularly ter.
rifying to both Mccarthy and Jack
Warford, though neither would have
been able to analyze the reason for its
weirdness. For silence is in reality a
composite of many lesser noises. In a
woodland almost inaudible insects
hum, breezes blow, leaves and grasses
rustic; at sea the tiny waves lap the
sides and equally tiny breaths of air
stir the cordage; within the confines
OF the human shell the mere physical
acts of breathing, swallowing, wink
ing, the mere physical facts of the
circulation Of the blood, the beating
of the heart, produce each its sound.
Even a man totally deaf feels the
subtle influence Of these latter phys
ical phenomena. And underneath all
sound, perceptible alike to those who
can hear and those who can not, are
the vibrations that accompany every
activity of nature as the manifesto
tions of motion or of life. An or
binary deep silence is not so much
an absence of sound as an absence of
accustomed or loud sound. And in that
unusual hush often for the first time a
man becomes actutely aware of the
singing of the blood in his ears.
But this silence was absolute All
these minor sounds had been elm
mated.

violent motion, and rose He was like
shadow on a screen. The filching

AS Mccarthy shouted, and no sound
came; as he moved from behind his
desk, and no jar accompanied his
heavy football, he appeared to lose
blood and substance. to become unreal.
AS no sound issued from his contorted
face, so it seemed that no force would
follow his blow, were he to deliver one.
He stumbled forward, dazed and
cropping as though he were in the
dark, instead of merely in silence; a
striking example in the uncertainty
of his movements of how closely our
senses depend on one another.

lips in a grim straight line He held
his elbows close to his sides, and
