MAY HAVE BEEN ERICsSoWS
Interesting Speculation Arising From
Discovery Of Ancient GaIIeys
Buried In Norway.

A traveller in Norway has been look
ing at the two ancient ships, in one
Of which, though probably in neither,
Lief Ericsson may have reached the
western world five centuries before
Columbus. Nothing proves that either
of them was EricssOD's galley; moth
ing proves that it wasn't. The ancient
pagan custom that buried the craft
of the sea-hero preserved the gaIleys
away in the soil of Norway, thanks
to a covering Of potter's clay, and
twentieth century farmer recovered
the second one. The savants looked
1t over, and dated it from the ninth
century, contemporary with the adj
venturous Ericsson, possibly his own
ship. About seventy feet long, the
vessel is shaped not unlike a double
pointed rowbOat, fiat and low, with
forked uprights for Is pairs Of oars,
and the conventional dragon carved on
bow and stern Under the floor are
the compartments where the voyagerS
doubtless stored their provisions. One
can imagine the watcher at the prov,
the helmsman Juggling at the tiller, the
galley master high in the poop beat
ing with his great hammer the rhythm
for the thirty oarsmen. 1t is far more
difficult to imagine how they slept and
ate in rough weather.

Wool furs. or fur fabrics. have be
come thoroughly established staples
that manufacturers of suits and top
coats reckon with each fall in making
up their lines of practical garments.
Where wool furs undertake to look
like the pelts they initiate they are so
marvelOusly close to the original that
it requires a careful inspection to dis
tinguish between them. Sealskin is
initiated in wool fur that keeps one
guessing, unless it is almost within
arms length, and there are furs almost
as successfully initiated. But some
times the manufacturers of wool fur
use a genuine fur only as an inspi-
ration and interpret it in a fabric
that is handsOmer than the original
This is what has been done in the
case of the material that resembles
the natural muskrat pelt, which is
used so much for coats.
AS trimming for cloth suits wool
furs prove more practical than real
furs, from the standpoint of service,
and a handsome wool fur is better
looking than a cheap fur. 1t stands

There was a bullet hole beneath her

ND better. Manufacturers christen
their new productions with new names,
for the convenience of buyers, but the
public prefers to call them by the
names of the furs they resemble.
A smart new suit of duvetyn, shown
in the picture above, is trimmed with
furfelt that looks like sealskin. The
coat model is one of the most success
full that the season has presented, with
clOse-fitting body and a basque that
falls in rippIes at the sides. Rows of
narrow silk braid appear on the basque
and on the sleeves. In passing, it may
be noted that this form of decoration
has made a triumph this season, APP
pearing persistently on the best mod
els in frOckS and suits. The rows Of
braid on the sleeves terminate in large
bone buttons. The coat buttons up
the front and looks very coy and
trim with a high choker collar of the
wool fur. The belt is interesting and
pleasing 1t is very narrow and fas-
tens at the front with a most unex-
pected little bow tie of the material,
instead of the usual button or buckle.

The point that is mainly interesting
about coats for girls and misses lies in
their new style features, for they are
developed in all Of the soft, limp coat
ings that lend themselves to draping
or shocking or shirrings. VelOurs or
duvetyn, and similar cloths with new
names, make variety in the choice Of
coatings but do not provide a great
amount OF dissimiIarity, so that 1t is
design and style that must serve to
distinguish them. Besides these hand
some and dressy fabrics there are the
dependable tweeds and hOmespuns in
sturdy coats for school, that are pre-
scented In trim and comfortable models.
