coming. There is something warm and cozy about a civet coat on a cold day, and if black or pointed fox is judiciously used to relieve the con- spicuous marking of the pelt, such a coat may be very good looking in deed. The civet motor coat pictured is a Christmas gift any young woman might covet, with it's ample, dashing lines, it's well marked pattern and the big collar and cuffs of black fox. For motor coat of less conspicuous design, pick out muskrat which is fashionable this season, and by all means have a big collar and deep cuffs of seal on your muskrat coat for the car.
 If Santa Is Generous It Is An Evening Wrap.
 In an importing retail shop a stones throw from the Waldorf are two splendid fur coats which, the retailer probably fondly hopes, are going tc make somebody very happy this Christmas. One of these coats, re gently brought over from Paris, and of chinchilla fur chastely ornamented W1lu SlINGE 4OA may OO 1lcu lOT. l6Q thousand dollars. If Santa Claus is particular and feels like spending a little more. there is the other coat made of nothing but sable-no trim ming at all-which has a price tag bearing the figures: $27,00o. Not quite so expensive, but still expensive enough, dear knows. are the two even ing coats pictured; one of moleskir with tail-fringed ermine collar; the other of unspotted ermine, collared and cuffed with chinchilla. The mole skin wrap is shaped like very full cape with ermine-bordered slashes fol | the arms.
 Short Fur Coats Only For Sport Wear.

per and the morning mail. The tray may be presented with or without a special set of breakfast china but, of course, the china completes a charm ing Christmas gift
 If you are positive your housekeep- CT friend has all the tea sets she can use, why not give her set of service plates? These need not necessarily match her household china and you can spend almost anything for them. A set of Coalport service plates with broad gray border embossed in black and gold may be had for about $15O a dozen. Beautiful Royal Dalton plates in the wonderful deep blue with fine gold designs that distinguish this ware, cost about $1o0 a dozen. Plates in a lovely Wedgwood design in gray blue come for $25 dozen. And there are most attractive service plates of earthenware with an allover design in color and flower clusters set in medallions of white. These may be had as low as $10 a dozen. Then there are oyster cocktail plates, each with a cup that fits into groove in the center of the plate. A very smart set of dozen, in blue and silver, costs S75. These sets, also come in wide range of styles and at various prices.
 No matter what a housekeeper's taste in color, where china is con cerned, she cannot but delight in a

tea set to match anything else in the china cupboard-providing there are enough cups and saucers and lit tie plates in the set itself. Tete tete sets are charming-but two peo- pie intimately associated in a home rarely get out the best tea set for the cup that cheers; and when guests are present there are apt to be more than two gathered together. Six cups and saucers and six little serving
 plates should go with the dainty tea set, even if the accompanying tray accommodates but two cups. The pretty tea set on the basket tray has the new squat tea pot and jugs and the cups have the straight sides now fashionable. This is a Sevres set in Dresden pattern with a delicate use of gold and trailing floral design in pale pink and lavender. A sturdy set

 Fur. Shops Thronged Just Now.
 From the crowded condition of ev- cry shop and counter where fur wear ables are displayed it is safe to say that Santa Claus is going to give more peltry this year than ever he has before, and already anticipators' of furry gifts are selecting, trying on, and looking about for exactly the best bargain in what they most de sire. Fur is the gift of gifts for a practical Christmas. It fulflls the condition demanded of it-usefulness and also embodies that ideal qual- ity without which nothing is a real present-the quality of being some thing outside of the prosaic list of have-to-haves It is an unusual wife who, when Friend Husband announces two weeks before Christmas: we must cut out all superfuous luxuries and unnecessary du-dads this year. What would you like that is really useful ?' does not state imm ediate1y and succinctly: well, need some new furs.''

In every young girl is the germ of good house. wifery and in the supply of school linens lies an excellent opportunity to ealtivate it. Let the girl herself pick out her sheets, pillow slips and towels and let these belongings represent treasures to her rather than unim- portant details of equipment which parental efficiency must supply and which she need not bother about in the least The girl who goes shopping with her mother for sheets and towels, lingering fine and coarse linens and Judging prices will have much more Appreciation of her belongings than the girl who merely sees them piled in her school trunk, provided by some one else. If she is encouraged to em- broider initials on her towels and on the corners of her sheets and pillow siips, just that much more will she value and care for her belongings.
 Fresh, dainty bureau and table scarves and squares, hemstitched or hand scalloped will add to her pride in her linen supply and to the at- tractiveness of her room at school. Most schools provide blankets; not all provide pillows. Very few indeed pro- vide extra comforts, and an attractive quilted sateen or silkoline comfort, tufted with cotton or with down will be a practical and acceptable Christ mas gift for the boarding school miss.

mink, of chinchilla or of Persian lamb trimmed with some long-haired fur. And in addition, there may be an evening coat of ermine. The small furs will include sets of fox, of sable, of opossum or beaver, and so on, to harmonize with the colors of street costumes. The little theatre wraps will be of ermine, of mole, of sable, or some combination of these dainty furs. So the woman who is going to receive furs for her practical Christmas gift will be at no loss what to choose when the time comes for her to make selec- tion.
 Trimming Furs Rank As Holiday
 Gifts.
 Six yards of skunk banding in five inch width will make a Christmas gift that no woman could treat with contempt; or say, enough black fox to trim a tailored suit, or enough ermine to garnish an evening wrap! The trimming-fur counters are busy places, these before Christmas days and the fur bandings that seem in most favor for gifts are skunk, seal skin and moleskin. Some of these bands, in the wider sorts will be made into fur turbans; some of the very

Last Minute Shopping for
 Soldiers in France

RAA ANY WEEKS AGO the Amer HA ican mails closed, as far as
 Christmas packages for the
 H k expeditionary forces were concerned; but perhaps in your town there is shop where they are taking orders for belated Christmas gifts to- be delivered from Paris. Such pack ages go directly to the front, from Paris shops, and the order given over here and cabled to Paris will go through in very few days. The French shops are familiar with the needs of soldiers at the front; and.! of course, there is not the delay in getting goods shipped that is expert enced over here, across the submarine ridden sea In shops where this serv- ice is installed there are, lists of Christmas packages at all prices from two dollars to twelve dollars, and the packages contain comforts in the way of wearing apparel, toilet requisites and good things to eat. You may not see the package for it is over in Paris; but you stipulate the size you desire. pay it's price at the American shop and rest assured that your gift will be delivered to your soldier at the front in shortest possible time.

 articles that do not appeal to her taste, or that do not fit into the gen. eral color scheme of her home ap- pointments Some women have a very sensitive taste in china where color is concerned. Anything red they simply will not use on breakfast, lunch, tea or dinner table; green they may tolerate, pink they may fancy and blue they may adore. Be careful to find out your friends particular penchant in china-and do not judge by the set of dishes on which dinner is served when you are a guest. Very probably that set is the bane of your hostess existence. She is tired of it and is dreaming of getting rid of 1t somehow or other and filling in with something nearer her hearts desire.

 ment. Millions of soldiers need uniforms-or will be needing them in the coming months-and women have simply got to find something besides WOOL material for winter costumes. Why not fur? asks Fashion. Fur is one thing the government has not touched with its staff of conservation. Any woman may wear as much fur as she pleases; nobody minds in the least. And fur is so nice and warm and comfy for winter weeks! One must do without sugar in ones coffee, and forego delicious little sweet cakes at afternoon tea. One must break fast on graham gems instead of wheat mufins and dine on boiled haddock instead of porterhouse steak-if one is truly imbued with patriotism. One must cut her garment according to her cloth, and skimp her cloth to Conserve soldier coatsleeve. Ones buttoned dancing boots may not be over seven inches high, for the sake of some soldiers shoe leather But in furs one may wrap one's self, swathe one's self-all but bury one's self!
 And that Is just what Fashion ad vises now. Furs must give the i'm. pression of being fairly piled on their wearer if her fur silhouette is to be correct. There are skirts with fur hems twelve inches. deep, bodices with

There are coats of muskrat, of seal and of otter, most of them made with con- vertible collars and loose belt. Some have patch pockets in true sport style. It is on the dainty little fur wrap for dress-up wear that Santa specially dotes; for this is the ideal fur gift, not unduly practical. yet prac- tical enough, if one looks at it that. way. Three enchanting little gift wraps of fur are pictured; one a handsome affair of sable for the ma tron, with round huff to match. am other scarf and huff, the scarf hav- ing sleeves oddly concealed; the third cape of ermine with capuchin hood and very interesting sleeves.
