man, standing in a tub, trod upon the
 buttered skin with his bare feet until it was well '1eathered" and soft and pliable as flannel. Then the mink skin was strained and pulled over the edge of the tub to make it still softer and more pliable. Overnight it lay soaking in strong salt water solution and next was drawn back and forth, back and forth. across the edge of a sharp knife until the soft leather be- came as thin as 1t could become and not tear apart.

trimmed with the tails, which nay be worn high, in choker effect, or turned back over the cape. From Premet comes a beautiful evening wrap of white panne velvet with wide bands of ermine at the foot and on the sleeves and a deep collar of the ermine that can be lifted in choker style and fastened with two ermine buttons. For some reason or other the short haired white furs-ermine and it's humble cousin, white coney-are more fashionable this season than the long, fluffy white fox. for trimming handsome wraps. Perhaps this is be- cause the summer girl rather "did white fox to death" by disporting it all through July and August until one rather sickened of the sight of it.
 Mole And Mink The Winter
 Combination.
 Two furs that are travelling in close company for the first time this season are mole and mink. Nobody ever thought of putting them side by side before--in fact they were rather kept away from each others proximity but, used together now, they have sud- denly become very beautiful as com panion furs. One sees the most superb limousine coats of mole with broad band trimmings of mink. and one coat of mole has actually founces of mink from edge to knee and a ripple cape of mink over the shoulders. There are hats of mole and mink combined. also; and much use of mole gray vel vet with mink fur trimming. Mole. silver fox and ermine, have been com bined in @ new and sumptuous effect on one of the wraps pictured The wrap itself is of matched mole skins.

The prole- tariat who digs in ditch ten hours a day and sleeps like log from dark to dawn and who washes his face only on Sunday often has skin un- blemished and showing a rose flush the society women would give thou sands of dollars to possess. It is fresh air, exercise and sleep, these three, that no amount of cosmetics can hope to rival as beauty's first aid.
 When all is said and done, there is no greater aid toward a fresh com pleXion than dog. Rain or shine, snow or sleet, fog or wind, dog must be exercised every day of the three hundred and siXty-five-or he will run down in condition If he is valuable canine, this is not to be thought of

 The smaller animals who have the finer, softer belts, furnish the evening furs. Siberian ermine is the evening fur past compare, no other pelt can dislodge it from favor as the gaslight fur of pre-eminence. The best ermine is very soft and pure white. A species of weasel which turns white in ex- tremely cold weather is often sold as ermine, but this pelt is apt to turn vel low after a time. The tiny mink, silky and dark in color, comes from Labra-

The sallow skin of midwinter, the tired eyes with dark circles under heath, the pale lips with droop at the corners that suggests cynicism but is really only dead weariness, the lack luster eyes and tresses that have no spring or life in them-these are the direct and almost unacceptable resuits of late hours, too little sleep, too much rich food, never ceasing nerve straln.

A week helps the depu- tante amazingly, but the jaded woman who has been through many such sea sons cannot hope to recuperate so easily.
