Furs for Mourning.

For those who prefer black furs to
all others. or for those in mourning
who find something homogeneous in the
brown or gray furS associated with
crepe-trimmed garments, there are
lovely pelts Of black lynx. broadtail,
black fox and sealskin made into con-
servatively mOdish muffs and scarfs
and appropriately lined. The Innings,
by the way, have a good deal to do
with the consistent attractiveness Of
these mourning sets. Generally they
are Of unfinished crepe silks beauti-
fully applied; or the lining may be Of
white satin yelled with black georgette
crepe or chiffon. Occasionally gray
chiffon or a gray brocaded satin Is
employed. but these are exceptions.

in the course Of learned argument,
rested his case entirely on one reported

paramount Importance.
But when he had finished, his oppo-

he had to say. replied:
II will not trouble your lordship with
any further argument. only wish to
say that my friend has forgotten to
inform your lOrdship that the case on
which he relies has been taken on ap-
peal to the house of lords and the de-
cision absolutely reversed"
Upon this the eminent X. c. turned

MIR. BOwser stood up. He looked all
around. He looked up and down. He
hated to go. but his country called
him. He shook hands with Mrs. Bow
ser, gave her another kiss and was off.
He went up TO the corner again and re-
covered his suitcase and went march
ing. He marched about so feet and
then came to halt and leaned against
the fence. Half a dozen men who
knew him came along and stopped and
asked him if he was going on a jour
ney, and his reply to each was:
II have started for the war;"
And their exclamation in each case
was:
Good for you, old man! You are
the stuff. 1 have been expecting to
see you go for the last year. Let
yourself loose when you get there.
Remember Lexington mad Bunker Hill.
Don't let your heart have any pity.

"Yes."
There is little bill of fifty cents
against you. but. if you are killed, 1
shall not ask Mrs. BOwser for it. I
like brave men and you are certainly

Mr.. Bowser had thoughts as he
leaned against that fence. He thought
of Mrs. Bowser and the cat. He
thought of the good dinners he was
getting every week. He thought of
the grave. He thought of having his
