HOW IS YOUR ExPRESSlON7
Well to Remember Sometimes That q
Man Is Apt to Be Judged
by His Looks.

What kind of expression do you wear
habitually: Is it sour, mOrose, repel-
lent? Is it mean, stingy, contempti-
BILE, uncharitable, intolerant express
sion? Do you wear the expression OF
a bulldog, a grasping, greedy, hungry
expression, which indicates an avari-
cious nature? Do you 60 about among
the members Of your family with q
thunder-cloud expression, with mel
ancholy, despondent, hopeless look on
your face? Do you wear the sunshine
expression which radiates good cheer
and hope, which indicates feeling OF
good will and of helpfulness? These
questions are asked by keen student
Of nature, writing in recent publica.

Do you smile and look happier
when you approach them, or do they
shrink from you and feel a chilly,
gooseflesh sensation come over them
as they see you approach? 1t makes
all the difference in the world to you
and to those whom you influence. what
kind of expression you wear.-The

it is an easy matter to slip this wrap

Every season presents coats Of Or
dinary squirrel fur for misses and for

more skins are used for making up

Squirrel is the most esteemed OF
furs for children's wear and leads in

opossum, Angora, muskrat, rabbit, light

of the aforementioned, but is chiefly
used for making Innings for cloth coats
both for grown people and children,
and for lining carriage robes for in

Countless pert little squirrels of the
kinds we are all more or less familiar
with die to furnish peltS that masquer-
ade as other skins in garments made
of them. They are dyed into beautiful
brown tones and the furriers rechris-
ten them. But the pelt of the Siberian
squirrel is an exquisite gray, marvel
Ously marked, that makes one think
of white mist. To dye it would be
like painting the lily or adorning the
rose. 1t is made up into regal gar
ments and used in fur pieces or for
collars and cuffs on rcoats Of sealskin
or of sumptuous fabrics. There is no
gray more beautiful and delicate,
therefore this fur seems best adapted
to wraps for high occasions.
The designer who made the wrap
pictured understood how to suit style
to the fur. It Is a mantle Of Siberian
squirrel and "class" is written in every
line Of it; grace, rather than utility or
even convenience, governed its max.

collar; there are slits to accommodate
the arms, instead of sleeves, and it
is shaped to a long back. A single,
large fur-covered button assumes all
