Flower Boutonnieres.

The dark-hued costumes of winter
must be enlivened by touch Of color,
and this is often accomplished by the
wearing of colored boutonniere.
Some very odd materials are used.
Metal bouquets are artistically tinted,
and medium-sized orchids made of
metal and deicately tinted are pretty
and frail, set off by dark green vel
vet leaves. Porcelain flowers are a
decided novelty, dyed or painted in
natures own colors. Small flowers
or fruits are seen in rich wintry tones
that harmonic with the costume.
Even oranges, lemons and grapes are
pressed into service. White velvet
gardenias are enhanced by gilt buds
When combined with metal flowers
they acquire distinction. Flowers are
also made of cloth that resembles
patent leather and is called "oll
cloth" It's softness makes it possible
to twist it into realistic blossoms.

Here at my feet was fleet OF the
most graceful small boats ever de-
signed, long and black and narrow,

from the gondola. For the arrival OF
a stranger in strange city, 1t was all
preposterously lovely. And may say
at once that after nearly week here
l am still TRANQUILITY dazed with the
beauty of the place.
In practically all respects, save that
of comfort, Venice has kept it's me-

the waterways In barges or gondolas-
The narrow streets which interlace
between the canals are used only by

nNE Of the full, short coats trimmed
~ with fur which are unlike those of
any previous season and immensely
successful now, Is shown In the pic
ture. A muff of the fur used for bor-
der about the bottom of the coat and
appearing in the collar Is worn with
coats of this kind.
Costly broadtail fur is used in the
body of this luxurious wrap, and Fitch
fur trims it. Few wraps of broad
tail are worn, in Difference to a senti-
ment which has grown up against it..
The handsomest pushes make up into
wraps quite as beautiful, and are fur
nished with the same expensive furs
in borders and muffs.
The heavier furs will not answer
for wraps Of this kind. Natural and
dyed squirrel and ermine are used,
and sealskin is ideal for ample gar
ments which must not be too heavy.
Instead of furs, handsome plushes are
used for garments which are to be
within reasonable cost. These
pushes in the best grades are high
priced fabrics, but at that, much less
costly than fur. There are cheaper
grades that will look well and outiast
the season. For wraps and outside
garments nothing is more fashionable
and more satisfactory than the plush
limitations of fur, which are often so
close in appearance to the original
as to deceive the average eye.
The furs most favored for trimming
coats are martin, skunk, civet cat, fitch
and fox. These are the moderately
long haired furs. Mink and sable and
ermine (all growing higher in price
constantly are also employed All
furs are used in wide and narrow band

Speed again whispered an agonized-
Don't forget to fall down.
This time the cook of the Centipede
leaped backward with an angry snarl,
while the crowd took breath.
MAKE him quit talking to mel"
cried Skinner.
Gallagher uttered an imprecation
and strobe forward, only to have his
way once more barred by Still Bill
Stover. HE can talk if he wants to-"
There is nothing, Speed pointed
out with dignity, "in the articles to
forbid talking If wished to, could
sing. Yes, or whistle, if I felt like
it.
"On your marks!" came the rasping
voice Of Willie as Wally murmuTed to
Skinner:
Remember, trust YOU"
Skinner ground his teeth; the tendons
in his caves stood out rigidly.
Get set!"
Once more the silence of death
wrapped the beholders, and Willie
raised his arm.
Speed cast one lingering farewell
glance to the skies, and said, devout-
ly: What beautiful. beautiful
day."
Now the starter was shaking in an
ague of fury.
Listen, you'll" he chartered, shrilly.
I'm goin' to shoot twice this time

ger, whereupon Speed leaped as If the
bullet had been aimed at him.

Y VENICE is the dream city Of the
world. You cannot imagine 1t
before seeing it and after
leaving it l think it must be
hard to believe in its exist
ence, writes P. c. Mowrer in the Chi
cago Daily News. Travelling, while
probably the best brain stimulant and
mind enlarger known, is apt to spell
disillusion most of the time. Foreign
places, after all, are amazingly like
home; foreigners seem to be just
plain human beings doing common
place things in, queer ways and the
wonders" we have anticipated with
excitement from childhood dwindle
dolefully on being visited. The only
scenery I have found which exactly
coincided with my previous fancy is in
the highlands of Scotland and the only
city thus far which has surpassed my
fondest expectations is Venice.
In these days you usually enter
town by that most depressing Of back
doors, a railroad yard, hemmed about
with dingy traffic and squalid build
ings. Venice is approached not
through the CRIME of manufacturing
suburbs, but by viaduct, across more
than two miles Of breezy sea, on
whose horizon seems to lie some fair
mirage in the form of a city-a jewel
city set clean cut in water and light.
Suddenly the sea is blotted from about
you by a wall. You are in railroad
station
The Dream Begins.
Just like other railroad stations"
you say cynically to yourself, and drift
toward the exit to find a cab. You
step forth and presto! the dream be-
gins-or at least it did for me. OF
course, l had heard there were canals
for streets and gondolas for transport
alton in Venice, but without just real
izing what this meant. Here before
me was beautiful sweep of green
water which knew, by the handsome
stone fronted buildings that bordered
