Choosing Your Furs

~ YRS should be chosen with as
careful regard to the wearer's
type, as hats. The inherent
beauty of a pelt may make II emf
nently desirable. but doesn't By any
means insure its becomingness. Here
are some general hints that may help.
The woman OF unimpeachable
grooming can wear those she ggy. long
haired furs, like monkey, with the as
surance that they will only emphasize
her grooming by contrast But let the
more usual type OF woman with a
stray hair out here. and maybe loose
thread on her suit. drape herself with
the same sort OF fur. and she will only
succeed in looking less careful"
Another thing TO remember. too. in
the selection Of furs is that some are
decidedly youthful. Squirrel comes in
that class, so does beaver Mole IL de-
cidedly the matron's fur, as II seal.
The foxes are excellent for the ma
tron of palpable youth
Then, too, one must always have the
ultimate purpose OF furs in mind. They
are primarily intended TO enrich q Co.'S
tune, not to detract from IT. That In
another excellent reason for cultlvat-
ing a keen and observsnt eye for har-
mony and contrast both in color and
line. Either have the contrast marked.

Headlights for Surgeons.

Quite radical revolution has been
made in the matter of illumination, for
1t has been found to be much more eco
nomical to have small low-powercd
lamp in the immediate vicinity of the
work and is much superior to a number
OF higi-powercd lamps scattered around
in the remote distance.
BY the latter system much useful en-
ergy is lost, while by the former it is
conserved, Following this out, nearly
all modern machines have facilities for
mounting small lamps at convenient
places about it, and in this line is the
headlight designed for surgeons, dentists
and others of similar vocations.
