WHO VILE HELP FIR. BIRRAux?.

Missionaries in all parts Of the
world are now being obliged to give
ND some branches of their established
work, or some Of the aids to their
apostolate. Schools are closing, or
phanages are shutting their doors, hos
pitfalls restricting the number of their
patients-all because there is no
money in the mission treasures.
Father Joseph Birraux, P. F.. M,
sends from Tsu, Japan, an account OF
a sacrifice he fears he may be called
on to make, and one that is going to
come very hard.
1t seems that Father BirrauX pos
sesses an especial treasure in the per-
son of a female catechist. This wom-
an has filled the position of infrmari'
an for ten years. She goes every
where through the mission caring for
the sick, baptizing infants, and giving
instruction in the chief points of Cath,
Ole doctrine. Her work among the
Japanese women has been invaluable
and although no longer young, her
zeal and devotion no signs Of abating
Though jewel among her sex, the
catechist is human and must have the
means wherewith to live. Father Biz
raux pays her five dollars a month
when he has it. The sum is small
one, but the good priest sees every
prospect of losing his priceless as:
sistant just because he cannot get to-
gether five paltry dollars every four
weeks.
Describing himself as "a little
Savoyard missionary" Father Birraux
humbly asks some generous person to
lend him helping hand, that the
threatened calamity may be averted

around, the neck and then. fell to the
knees, but boas are being revived and
doubtless by midwinter . good many Of
them will be evident. The only possible
way to wear Z boa 50 that it shall not
look staid and middle-aged-or make one
look SOS to let one end Of it trail over
the shoulder while the other is held
down in front under the muff. Time
will tell how the 1916 boa will be worn.
Styles in neckwear seem TO be divided
between the little fur collar which fits
trinity and closely around the throat and
the enormous animal scarf loaded with
natural heads and brushes. Both will be
fashionable next winter, but for early
season year the collarette Of fur, match-
cd by fur cuffs seems to be the favored
style. All the foxes, most beautiful Of
pelts, promise to be fashionable, but most
exclusive are the lovely blue and silver
foxes which are 81 high in price that
only the favored few can afford them.
White fox will be used on evening wraps
but this fur has been worn so much dur
ing the past summer that its winter vogue
will doubtless be somewhat impaired.
In the short-haired pelts beaver, otter
and nutria arc the favorites, and beaver
is particularly modish and will be more
so, probably, as the season advances.
This fur, with its soft texture and deli
cate color, is ideal for trimming cos
tunes of rich material, and beaver is
also charming on indoor and evening
gowns, as a border for chiffon OF satin.

RIPPLE FUR COATS HAVE A
.t DASHING SWING

cas< = the bulky, cumbersome fur
coat that added thirty pounds to its
wearer-;n appearance if not in actual
weight, and in its place is a new fur coat,
inexpressibly smart and youthful, with
sleeves set into rather small armholes,
close lines over shoulder and bust and
most of the fur in the ripple skirt which
swings out below the waistline in jaunty,
youthful style. Hudson seal is by all
ODDS the f~avorite pelt for such coats and
unless the seal coat is trimmed with
collar and cuffs of contrasting pelt it
may not claim last-minute modishness
for its own. Skunk, fox and chinchilla
squirrel are used as trimming on these
coats, and also on coats of near-seal
which are lower in price than the GENT
inc Hudson seal models. Even Hudson
seal, as most people know. is only dyed
rat, but the pelt IS beautifully soft and
eatiny and the dyeing is perfectly done.
The near-seal coat looks we'll at first,
but must be often redressed. All fur
coats are richly lined with satin, some
of the Hudson seal models having lin
ings of pale tinted goldenrod satin or
Powered pussy willow silk. 4
