ing of the color. Blue gowns are fac
ed with rose, red, old gold, and black
velvet; the effect is wonderfully at
tractive and harmonious.
One of the smart innovations of the
season is the three-quarter coat of
leather, trimmed with fur and velvet.
Paquin introduced this at her recent
opening and also introduced leather
as a trimming for suits and frocks.
Perhaps the most pleasing thing
about the winter trimming is the touch
of fur which appears on many of the
indoor costumes and most of the out
door suits and frocks. The tight, lit
tie choker collars of one of the short
haired .pelts, beaver, nutria, or that
smart Russian krimmer, are decidedly
chic and most becoming. These collars
are being worn with suits and with
the one-piece dresses; generally, they
are accompanied with muff, as round
as a ball and strongly suggestive of
Grandmother's day. Wide cape col
lars of fur closed under the chin with
stiff little bow of taffeta or MORE
ribbon are smart, too, with these small
muffs.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Samuel Pocko-
svewsky has grown tired of the eff
forts of his American associations to
pronounce his name, and has been on
the lookout for chance to change it.
The chance came when he became en-
gagged to Miss Parker Judge Thorn
as, on application, allowed the groom
to take his wife's name and now he
is the proud possessor of the handle
of Samuel Parker.
New York, N. -"Safety First"
said Mrs. Arthur Maclean as she put
two diamond earrings into her pillow
case and went to sleep. The next day
there were clean slips on the pillows.
Mrs. Maclean was frantic. She be-
sieged the laundry, but the pillow
slips had been washed and ironed. FL
nally one earring was found cleaning
in the bottom of the washtub and the
other about to enter the drain pipe.
They are valued at $4,000.

the standing band collars which ap-
es.
Another quaint and becoming detail
Of these dark cloth dresses is the COL
lar. Made of the plain redingote serge
gowns are made with single or double
cape collars. Colored collars of all de-
scriptions are being worn; turnover
collars of colored velvet add a smart
touch to the choker of the simple
dress, and the idea of the colored
chemisettes of the summer is being
carried out for winter in fables and
brocades, striped and figured velvets.
Chemisettes of pale pink faille, made
with high, unlined, unbottoned collars,
buttoning at the side and wrinkling
about the throat like mousquetaire
glove, are worn with gowns of serge
or velvet. The neckline of the dress
is usually rounded in an old-fashioned
curve and finished with a straight
band OF the material.
At one of the fall openings in Paris
a chiffon afternoon frock was trim
med with wide, heavy Hercules braid;
following this idea comes frock of
serge trimmed with soutached chiffon.
Among the button novelties both for
service and for trimming purposes,
there is a large gold button patterned
after the plain, four-holed porcelain
underwear button; another is an acorn
button of brilliants.
Skirts are being trimmed consider
ably this winter; and there is mark
ed use of velvet and cloth, combined,
and of velvet and chiffon, and velvet
and faille. Many of the skirts are
banded with velvet, wide and narrow.
Some of the prettiest and smatest no
tions along this line are the contrast
ing facings. Early last Spring, Pa
quin introduced the idea in a chic little
afternoon dress of dark blue taffeta;
it is now being applied to serge and
cloth frocks. Many of the strictly
tailored dresses of serge, gabardine,

Winter fashions have been fully set
tied upon and it is gratifying to say
that for many season, if ever, they
have not been as attractive as they
are this year. There is a charming
variety. Fabrics are rich both in
quality and colorings, trimmings
are artistic and designs are simple

The simple serge and gabardine
frocks, so much favored for all day.
time occasions, are trimmed effective
ly with braid, designs in soutache; but
the touches that render them distinc-
tive are the curious color notes that
are being introduced for contrast on
many of the smart new French mod
~els.
Pink silk embroidery is often seen
= on frocks of dark blue serge, and a
dull reseda wool embroidery is unus-
ually smart on dark blue; this wool
embroidery is one of the new notions
of the winter; it appears on collars,
cuffs, girdles and trimming bands of
frocks, coats, and blouses. Heavy
wool worked out in a rib effect to i'm
itate wide Hercules braid, is detail
of many of the imported serge and
gabardine dresses. The various con-
ventionalized soutache patterns on a
foundation of net or chiffon, often ed
ged with a band of a flat silk braid
OR an edge of fur, is much in vogue
for trimming the more dreSSy frOckS;
the wide braids, in numberless attrac-
tive designs are popular as well. The
standing soutache designs are favor
ed for yokes and chemisettes and for
the half belts so much feature of the
smart Princess dress. The wide braids
are often used for an entire panel or
yoke on a skirt; also for cuffs, and

Walter tried to get up, and tainted
away from pain. When he next be-
came conscious he was lying in a pri-
vate room in the hospital and-the
girl sat at his side.
For days of semiconscioUsness and
through nights of delirium he always
seemed to feel her presence beside
him. Sometimes it was the nurses
face that swan dizzily into his ken,
but then again it would be the girl.
At last the day arrived when con-
seriousness was fully destored.

surgeon, you may thank your stars
for your narrow escape. 1t isn't often

man opened his eyes to see the gra-
cious presence at his bedside again.
She was bending over him and he
saw tears in her eyes.
you are-Miss Davis?" he asked
weakly.
She nodded. "I don't know what
you will think of me-" she said. "But
your stenographer called at the hos
pital and said she thought you had
no relatives in the world, and
couldn't bear it couldn't bear and
had to make some excuse to see
you"

That was the beginning of the hap

His convalescence was a continued z
woOing, and long before he was an
noUnced fit for discharge Miss Nor
gan had promised to become his wife.
That they had dreamed of each
other before they ever met seemed
proof positive to both of them that
some almost supernatural influence
had been at work upon their lives.
And the strange thing was that they
must have passed each other a hun
bred times before the dream, for Miss
Morgan lived in an apartment house
on the next block to that where Wal
ter dwelled.
She was a designer for a whole
sale firm, and she lived alone. There
was no reason why they should not
be married Immediately. And on the
morning after his return to his apart
ment Walter escorted his sweetheart
downtown to procure the marriage Ii
cense. They were to be married that
same afternoon by a minister, in the
most informal manner. And, as
though already husband and wife,

busy street that ran past the two (
apartment houses.

ing into the window of a photog-~
