Among the handsome midwinter
coats made ready for disappointing
zero weather, there are a greater num-
Der Of garments that combine furs
with fur fabrics than in any former
displays. Although-a all pushes are
not fur-fabrics, all fur-fabrics are
pushes. Fur-fabrics designate those
pushes that have colorings and mark
ings in imitation Of the skins of fur
bearing animals and they were at first
manufactured as substitute for furs,
and from the standpoint of being less
expensive.
Such progress has been made in the
beauty and quality of these rich fab
rics that they are now considered
more elegant than the cheaper furs,
and as desirable to use in combination
with high-class skins. Some of them,
as the seal-broadtail, caracul and
beaver pushes, are such close imita-
tons of the original skins that it is
hard to distinguish between them, ex-
cept at close quarters.
A great step in advance has been
made in the usefulness of these fab
RIGS since fashion has placed them on

There should have been two hundred

but count them. Mark began, but his

In the very middle Of this task the
door clicked; the Brigadier and Colonel
Howard entered.
"Well, Wallace, finished, / hope"
asked the Brigadier with the cordiality
of one who has been refreshed by a
good dinner. "Let me see"
Mark turned the leaves nervelessly,
while the Brigadier and Howard stood
silently beside him.
He reached the end. He had count
ed exactly two hundred. That might
have been an error. But the paper
was not there.
He looked up to see the Brigadier
peering into his face with an extraor-
binary expression. He heard himself
stammering, fumbling for words; he
stopped.
Colonel Howard sprang forward and
caught him by the shoulder. "Wallace,
my dear fellow, pull yourself togeth-

The Colonel was pushing him into

Of the Brigadier long distance away.
Howard was expostulating. They were
going through the papers again. A
clerk had been called in. Mark heard
something about searching the streets.
Somebody was telephoning. And,
above all, he was conscious Of Keller

opened the glass door and entered.
He was alone, and struggling back
into the realization of his situation.

unsteadily to his feet, wiping the sweat
from his forehead. Colonel Howard
was coming through the open doorway
from Kellerman's room.
"Sit down, Wallace" he said grave
ly. "Tve been talking to the Brigadier,

Mark explained as lamely as one
who had heard excuses of all kinds
from soldiers brought before him for
various offenses during his term of
service, and waved them aside.
'You know what this means, Wal

serious tone.

The last chapter in the story of win
ter millinery is presented and the tale
concludes with all-fur hats or hats
that are made of fur in combination
with other things. Although shorter
than the story of velvet or other fabric
hats, 1t is not so Aery brief as one
might suppose. The ingenuity of de-
signers lengthens it. But after fur
hats have been disposed of, one may
write "finis"-winter is over, so far as
new things in winter hats are con-
Icerned. In January millinery begins
to be springlike; between season
and "early spring" are the inspiration
of millinery designers, who must then
be occupied with the demands Of
southern tourists.
But only few people journey
South, and those who remain in the
months of midwinter weather-hence
a variety of fur hats is needed. They
are here in many shapes and combina-
lions. Turbans and small shapes pre-
dominate among them, but there are
large shapes with crowns of fur and
brims of velvet, or lace or malines
often with emplacements of fur on
them. In the smaller hats and tur-
bans, feather crowns with fur brims
and feather cOronets on turbans with
fur crowns are new and beautiful
