not been for the quick thought and
prompt action of collector for Nor
rison's he would now be out about

Light, who lives in Highland Park,
came into the city on a street car
and went his way ignorant of the
fact that his money had fallen into
smooth hands. The collector, who
refused to accept a reward offered
him by Mr.. Light, noticed a colored
man examining a pocketbook and
questioned him. The negro claimed
he found the money container, but
the name of VIII Light on the inside
of IL caused the collector to call up

Light and turned the pocketbook over
to him. The detective was overjoyed
and was profuse in his thanks.

The secret of fireplace management
is a plentiful supply of ashes, kept at
the level of the andirons. AS the
blocks burn, an accumulation of glow
ing charcoal forms in the ashes. This
keeps on burning slowly and assists In
igniting the fresh blocks on the and
irons. A pocket may be formed In the
ashes into which the hot charcoal may
fall, forming a heat storage. Two OF
three blocks on the andirOns with the
hot charcoal in the ashes will form ar

are shoveled over one or more of thu
blocks, covering lightly all burnin,

The production Of furs appears to
ag a long way behind the demand for
them If one can Judge by prices they
bring today as compared to those Of
three or four years ago. In the past
year price and real value appear to
have little relation in fur garments ;
the most plentiful Of pelts, undyed
and undisguised in any way, are made
up into garments that are as expen-
sive as good and substantial furs
ought to be. Really good furs have
scared up and away until they have
passed beyond the horizon for the
woman of modest income. 1t was in
evitable that pushes should forge
ahead at the same time but in them
real value and price go hand in hand
as they should. Pushes have been
made to initiate furs very closely in a
group known as fur fabrics and they
are used for all garments that are
made of fur. A good plush is much
to be preferred to poor fur from al.
most any point of view. 1t is just as
warm, 1t looks better and wears better
Furs have been very closely initiated
