There is about as much secrecy
about courtship in town of 1900

feller and his girl are seen together
in an ice cream parlor folks begin to
wonder when they are going to get

Furs, like coats, have scared in
price until the average mortal can
only look at the more sumptuous
wraps made of it and wonder that
there is so much money in the world
as they represent. But these extra
ordinary prices have not decreased the
demand. Furriers are unable to obtain
skins that they could use for ready
purchasers. Possibly the lack of
transportation from some source OF
supply to the fur market is respOn-
sible for the shortage of pelts, or it
may be that the demand advances
much more rapidly than the increase
In fur-bearing animals. In this case
good furs, high priced as they are,
will prove a sensible investment.
Mink, seal and kolinsky are favor

Moleskin is liked for It's softness and

most graceful and pleasing.
But the two fur garments in great
est demand just now are wide, straight

convictions. But the young person
from thirteen to seventeen or eighteen
is apt to be self-conscious and self
conferred; she is not always willing to
defer to the judgment of older heads

ties confront the mothers. Schools that
require a uniform make things easy /;
there is no room for comparisons
where all are dressed alike. and dress
does not distract the attention of the
young people from their work.
There is another advantage in the
uniform. 1t teaches the young girls
that it is not so much what they wear
as how they wear it, that counts; a
lesson that will be valuable In after
years when the matter Of apparel be-
comes important to them. But where
no uniform is required. it falls to the
lot Of mothers to teach their daughters
to suit clothes to occupation and oc-

Silk and cotton, chamois or wash
able kid gloves, are preferred for
gloves that must be often cleaned, and
they are the only practical kinds for
business women, or others who must
wear them every day. Chamoisette--
cloth that looks like chamois skin
is made in all the glove colors and
white, and it Is the most satisfactory
material for everyday wear. Gloves
made of it should be washed in luke
warm water with q bland soap, rinsed
and hung UP to dry. If stitched with
black It is better to wash In cold wa
ter; squeeze as dry as possible in a
soft towel and dry quickly to keep the
black from running. Pieces Of turk
ish towel stuffed into gloves of this
kind will help to prevent the color
from spreading while they are drying,
and also prevent drying in streaks,
which sometimes happens when the
gloves are hung up to dry withort
this precaution With gloves as with
stockings, it is best to have several
pairs and wear them in rotation, wash
ing them when soiled. Three pairs
win insure clean gloves for a week,
even in the smoke-laden air of cities.
Cotton and silk gloves may be very
successfully darned, using a glove
darner in the fingers. Double finger
tips in silk gloves are worth the extra
price they bring, for it is more diff
cult to darn silk gloves than cotton
ones.

An excursion through the shops in
search of new blouses is as intriguing
as an expedition after wild flowers.
Where there is so much variety and
beauty to be found there is an equal
amount of zest in making selections.
The autumn brought variety in styles,
in materials, in methods of decorating
the new blouses and, for several rea-
sons, their place in the wardrobe Is
increased in Importance. One Of these
reasons ID the "high cost of dressing"
The suit blouse is not confined to tall
ored styles nowadays, but undertakes
to fit suit for many occasions. In
the company of a handsome separate
skirt, lovely blouses are able to face
any occasion with assurance.
The overblouse and the smock style
are the important new features in the
seasons showings. In the over
blouse, two materials or two colors
of one material are used to make the
blouse-as crepe georgette over chif-
fon. or net or satin. In the smock
style the blouse has a peplum and a
girdIe, as shown in the figure at the
right of the picture above. This par
ticular model embodies several details
of the mode in the fiaring sleeves, the
shane of the neck opening, the silk
cord and tassels forming the girdle
