them will be evident. The only possible
way to wear a boa so that it shall not

look so-is to let one end of it trail over
the shoulder while the other is held
down in front under the muff. Time

between the little fur collar which fits

style. All the foxes, most beautiful of
pelts, promise to be fashionable, but most
exclusive are the lovely blue and silver
foxes which are 50 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 are 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

tunes of rich material. and beaver is
also charming on indoor and evening
gowns, as border for chiffon or satin.

October Days Full
of Sweet Poetry

for they shall inherit the earth. y
Alexander. with all his vast conquests,
did not as truly inherit the earth as
the gentle and pure-minded Socrates.
Nor could Caesar, nor the Roman
officials who looked on Paul with con-
tempt, as truly inherit the earth as he
who had learned to look upon what
soever things are pure, lovely, just, OF
good report"
October days are full of poetry and
carry US back to the early English
poets, back to the early morning OF
our literature, when poets sang like
morning stars and as sweetly and
naturally as wood-birds. The red
leaves of autumn, the rich, warm
colors painted everywhere by nature,
carry US back to old Chaucer and the
early minstrels and ballad singers. We
may suppose that the lusty tone and
rich flow Of early English poetry are
due to the fact that men talked, acted
and sang with less restraint then than
now. True, we have more civil liberty
but Puritanism has stamped us with
fear of our neighbor. Whether we
speak, write, walk or talk, we are
haunted with the consciousness that
some one will not approve. There is
an imaginary Respectable Person who
clogs our wheels. AS a result we
choke the rising thought, and instead
of making the air clearer by the
clarion ring of our honest convictions
we wait until some Mr. Respectable
speaks and then we all bow in silence
We so label men Democrats, Repub,
licans. Populists, Christians. 1nfidels,
Prohibitionists, etc, that one has a
hard time to find a man. We quietly
resign ourselves to our fate, and when
one wants us he has only to run over
the row of labels and there we are
neatly bottled up and marked "Metho-
dist, Presbyterian, Republican, Demo
crat, Standpatter or Progressive oh,

Poor ballad makers and travelling
poets of bygone days! There came an
evil day for you. Puritanism and
Calvinism, teaching that all joy was
sinful, forbade the writing of ballads
and singing of love songs. No more

n IMAGINING winter cold, while the
mercury is still above the seventies, is
one of the most difficult mental feats
E-as difficult as imagining torrid heat and
humidity when frost nips the fingers on
b January day; but feminine imagination
konquers even such acrobatic problems
with ease it would seem, and any woman
lin mid August can visualize herself, in
a stunning sealskin wrap with hat and
muff to match; the feat causes her no
discomfort whatever. Already the new

and so alluring are they one instinctively

A salient feature Of the new fur coats
is their youthfulness. The furriers seem
this year to have put their whole mind

fetching; and we'll have they sue
ceeded. Elegance and distinction are
no longer the first duty of furs-they
must express charm, grace and dash as
we'll and even the once matronly looking
neckpieces of cumbersome peltry have
been given dashing suggestion by bet

n RACTICALITY and style go hand
in hand in new toggery for little

that juvenile modes reproduce older
fashions in effects attractively modified
by the Picturesque feature essential
in garments for childhood.
School frocks for early autumn are
of the cooler fabrics; linen, gingham
and even cretonne. Some fascinating
little dresses are made entirely Of cree
tonne and the effect is charming, for
small, dainty patterns have been selected
and cordings and smockings in plain
color add the finishing touch. The
American autumn is SO long and so
sultry in many localities that worsted
dresses are not comfortable before No

little daughters in tub frocks even later |;

REDINGoTEs FOR CHILDHOOD
Now that Paris has revived the redin-
cote for women, these graceful coats are
appearing in the children's departments
also, and are very smart with their
rather close-httlng upper portion and
coat-skirt flaring out from the wai.tline
in ripples over the skirt of the frock.
Youthful coats Of exclusive type are
built to fall short of the frock's edge
by an inch or more-as womeri's coats
do this season. When the frock is a
pretty one. this effect is charming. but

PUSSY WILLOW FROcKS FOR
CHILDHOOD

Most attractive little dresses for dane
ing school are of pussy willow taffeta in
Dolly Warden sprigged patterns and in
block checks. Black and white checked
silk is considered very chic for little girls
this season. but it must have bright but
tons and broad collar and cuff accessories
of sheer organdie or net to give the
youthful touch. Navy blue and army
blue checked pussy willow silk is another
pretty silk for children's dresses. Party
frocks are of tucked organdie and lace or
of handmade French lawn, very soft
and sheer. More elaborate models of
tucked and finely corded net are mounted
over crepe de Chine, pussy willow taffeta
or daphne silk in some delicate shade.

youthful style. Hudson seal is by ali
odds the favorite pelt for such coats and
unless the seal coat is trimmed with
collar and cuffs of contrasting pelt It

coats, and also on coats of near-seal
