A LOT of odd shapes in muffs add
"A something to the spice of life by
way Of variety this season. An occa.
sional complaint is voiced regarding
too much "sameness" in gown models
and even in millinery one hears that
there is a lack of variety in shapes,
but in furs there Is no chance for dis
content on this score.
The most noticeable Of the new
shapes is the melon muff Then there
are the barrel muffs, and in their class
the plain, round muff, which has
shown that it can come back" Among
the oldest shapes is a triangular muff
with the apex-which happens to be
the bottom-slashed into four silk.
lined points. The base of the triangle,
the top of the muff, is curved down.

bound with contrasting fur.
The combination of two kinds of fur

stdering. The dark, soft furs, such as
seal, broadtail, and others, make a
rich background for fitch, skunk, err

purpose, and the various pushes OF

where mink skins encircle it. The
narrow scarf is of the seal with mink
skin decoration. Hudson seal, in
broader scarfs and palmer muffs, is
shown having fitch skins posed in
bands on it, and this combination has
proved very successful.
The vogue for monkey fur is con,
spicuous. Odd, closeftting collars
of the long hair. and round muffs, are
the most pleasing models in this long,
silky fur. Collars are high and some
times fastened with metal rose
Small, swagger waistcoats Of velvet
support wide collars of the soft, long
haired furs, like fox, and are some
thing very new Little vestees of bril-
liant brocade or cloth of gold or silver
are set In these waistcoats, and the
combination of velvet, brocade and
luxurious furs is irresistible. Long
soft muffs of velvet with ruffles al
each end are banded with a broad
band of fur at the middle and mar
rover bands where the ruffles are
gathered in at each end. These muffs
look generously warm, reaching up tt
the elbows when the hands are in.
These are only few of the many
shapes and combinations to be found
in fur sets. But they serve to show
that 1t is allowable to ego as you

selection of odd creations in mech

across the bridge are placed huge
statues Of saints and ancient kings,
and there is also a beautiful gilded
statue of the crucifxion. Candles

famous of these statues is that of
st. John of Nepomuk, to whose shrine

GHOES for the promenade in fair
~ weather and on paved walks are
quite different from those that must
meet sterner demands, like the tramp
on country roads, rain or shine, or
the daily walk to business. Now that
women demand SO much in appear
ance and have grown so dissrimi-
mating as to style and fitness few
shoes are designed for all-round wear.
There is economy in having three
pairs of shoes for anyone who is
much out of doors. If one Of these Is
simply for dress the other two pairs,
worn alternately or according to
weather conditions, may be kept in
perfect repair and will give better
service in this way.
Just now the most fashionable boot
for the street has cloth top in fawn
color tan, or gray cloth with patent
colt vamp. Sometimes the heel is
covered with cloth, but oftener 1t Is
a smart Louis heel Of leather. The
model shown here is laced up the
front, where each side is faced with a
narrow strip of leather. The stay at
the back is trimmed in points and the
shoe is exquisitely made. With the
very short, narrow underskirts (now
so much worn with long tunics) this
shoe is elegant and Is worn with all
the fashionable dark colors in suits.
There are similar shoes that button
at the side instead of lacing up the
front.
A neat, inconspicuous and service
able shoe for daily wear Is made OF
fine, dull mat kid with a wide toe
and Cuban heel of medium height.
It is substantially put together and
is very comfortable. It is designed
'or both style and service, and de-
serves to be described as sensible.
Two pairs of this kind will prove a
good investment.

The buildings of the palace On

THE COST OF LIVING

At recent meeting of the new Business Mems Association, held in Little Rock, President Collins, speak ing on the object of the organization, refuted some rumors which charged the organization with being a trust for increasing prices. Among other things he said:-
 "Our object is to do what we can to remedy evils which exist in the business, and to bring about amicable relations between the jobbers. the re- tailers, the city statesmen and the con- sumers, and to, as far as we may, re- duce the cost of living by intelligent cooperation"
 Now if this is the object and we have no reason to doubt it, that or ganization has in view a very timely and important work. It costs entire ly too much to live in this country. On the other hand it can be said with equal truth, that people spend entire ly too much to live. It is not al ways question of actual necessity. In fact more is spent now adays for things that are not necessary than for things which are necessary and that is a rather startling statement.
 From standpoint of pure economy, the world will have made a great step forward when we begin to learn to eliminate unnecessary profits and middle men who would be doing bet ter for themselves and everybody else if they were in some other employ ment.

PRODUCTION OF PYRITE AND
 SULPHTRIC ACID IN 1913.

The production of pyrite in the United States in 1913, according to w. C. Phalen, of the United States Geolo- gical Survey, was 341,33S long tons, valued at S1,2S6,0S4, a decrease of 9,590 long tons in quantity and of S4S,- 175 in value compared to the output in 1912. The production in the leading States-Nirginia and New York diminished silently: in California there was an increased production; and in Wisconsin the output also con- tinued to increase.
 According to actual returns for the year 1913 the production of sulphuric acid in the United States was 3,538,- 9S0 short tons of 50 degrees acid, val ued at $22. .366, ,423. This output does not include a small amount of fuming acid, but does include by-product acid that is, acid obtained in the shelter industry. The acid produced at cop per and zinc smelters in 1913 amount ed to 790,296 short tons of 50 degrees acid, valued at $4, 346,272. compared with 764, 4,237 short tons, valued at S4,240,941 in 1912.
