one is picking the Phillies to win
the pennant in the National league
hot even Gavvy Cravath. the
manager. But after looking them
over and being audience to Gavvys
optimism one can't help but be-
lieve that these same Phils may
prove the big surprise Of the old
circuit the coming season. He has
speed and mighty power with the
bat. Probably the best outfield il
the league. at least one that will
give the Giant trio a hard run, be-
longs to the Phils, and outside Of
third base, Cravath has a fair in
field.
But the big change that may lead
the Pills out of the wilderness IL
the change of spirit
There was only one holdout
among the Phils this spring and
that one man was a holdout be-
cause the management didn't want
| him back. They didn't give him a
boost in salary. That is remark
| able in the hectic winter season of
1920. for holdouts certainly
thrived in the recent frigidity.
And they seem to like Cravath
fine. Swats, Gavvy or Gabby-nev-
er Clifford-Cravath is as common
as an old shoe when it comes to
mingling with the boys. There's
nothing uppish about him. He's
been one Of them too long.
Cravath's biggest problem is at
third. Like John McGraw he can
fill the infield hole only with a re-

DOORSTOPS POPULAR AS
 CHRISTMAS GIFTS

~ EVERYBODY seems to be buying w. doorstops this Christmas-and E those who pass the fascinating AA doorstops by, seem to pick out book ends. In doorstops weird look ing animals are favorites, quaint cats and odd dogs and there are even e.e- plants. The parrot doorstop is par ticular favorite-possibly because the high colors of parrot plumage are so very decorative in a modern interior. The parrot in brilliant natural colors, sits in a big brass ring and the top of the ring is, of course, the handle by which one lifts the doorstop. The ring is affixed to heavy base of green metal Salem Doorway bookends are all the rage this year. Each bookend
 is a section of a charming Colonial. housefront showing several small paned windows and a beautiful. dig- nified Salem doorway with sidelights and fanlight and graceful curving iron railings at either side of the front steps.

in laying the cunning patterns on lengths of crepe paper and in. cutting out the little garments. These days when yard of cotton lawn or ging- ham costs such a pretty penny. any mother has to think twice before sup plying mill-woven fabrics for scissors wielded by youthful fingers to slash into. But with the crepe paper fabric it is different-if a few yards are wasted in the cutting out process, it will not matter particularly. And these paper clothes last longer than you would think. A crepe paper frock, well made, with hems run on the ma chine has a good deal of endurance. And when it does go to pieces-why all the more fun making dolly a new costume.
 The coat, bonnet and muff set is for a big doll. Imagine any mother let ting her small daughter of ten or so have enough real wool-woven cloth, or silk, or velvet to cut up into these smart garments-with wool, velvet and silk costing what they do now. To say nothing of fur trimming! But here is modish street outfit for dolly which might be made of rich falle silk with gray fur trimming at he cost of so much paper, and any happy little girl could make the outfit-and learn quite lot about home dress making in the process.
 The coat is deep blue and the fur trimming is made of pale gray crepe paper crumpled up bit to give furry suggestion. Real ribbon may be used and real cord for the huff, or ribbon and cord may bespf paper. The coat is made exactly as a cloth or silk coat would be made. It has a deep yoke. double, and the lower part is hemmed

down the front and around the bot tom. The bonnet has a "fur" brim and blue crepe paper crown and IS lined inside, the lining stitched on the sewing machine to give extra body and strength. The huff is made ln similar fashion. Remember, the more these paper clothes are made like clothes of woven fabric, with stitching, hemming and overcasting where need ed, the more sturdy they are.
 The crepe paper for doll clothes comes in special fabric-shades, some of them very rich and beautiful; such as tobacco brown, crimson, henna, various tans, hunters green and so on. There are dainty shades too, pale blues and pinks and soft yellows. Dolly may have dozens of fascinating frocks. with wraps for every sort of climate.
 In one dress seen the frock was act ualIy embroidered. Daisies were worked with colored wool on the wide sash and on the hat. This frock was made of pale yellow crepe paper and the daisies were embroidered in white and deep yellow. The sleeves of the frock were trimmed with double pleat- ing. stitched on the sewing machine and a little frill of the pleating trimmed the neck. The very full founces of the skirt were cut out in scallops and the paper was creased out along these scallops, giving the sl5irt-a saucy flare. Pink satin ribbon trimmed the hat and made coquettish streamers.
 Crene paper costumes are used also for children's fancy dress parties; and these inexpensive, quickly-made cos tunes are a boon to mothers who used to. feel the Christmas fancy dress cos tunes. and school entertainment cos

~ ANITA CLAUS is going to be happy this year. shopping for M Christmas furs, for he will find v that fur prices have dropped con- siderably. Very likely he will save enough out of the fur sport coat he expected to pay staggering price for, to buy few silk stockings and Iinaybe a fan--to make an extra joy $us Christmas for somebody. There is no doubt that furs are little less appalling in price than they have been for two years. A handsome fur wrap still costs as much as a good motor car-but not more than the vehicle.
 Not every woman is asking Santa Claus for sealskin coat or an ermine evening wrap, but almost every wom- an hopes she will get something in fur, this Christmas season. So many furs are needed now to keep up with the demands of fashion. Do you remem- Der the time when sea1skin coat an- swered every outdoor purpose for three winters before 1t was made over, and the Christmas set of fox or mar tin was expected to cover all the fur needs of the winter? Those were the good old days; now one must have seal for afternoon, broadtail and mink for evening, mole to match gray cos tunes. nutria to match brown ones, rynx to match black ones, and few sets of fox and opossum to fit in here and thereto say nothing of ones special sport furs. All this gives Santa Claus special opportunity and wide scope for choice, for which he ought to be very thankful; whatever kind of peltry he picks out for milady's Christmas gift it Is sure to fit in some- lswhere-with some costume.
 Todd Fur Combinations The Fad In
 Paris
 Even furs are wearied of in Paris where fashions change with such kaleidoscopic rapidity that one wears about everything in a twelvemonth of seasons. Paris has tired of the con ventional belts and had to have some thing new, so the couturiers have found all sorts of queer skins to sat isfy popular demand-the hide of the camel, the hide of the goat and even the discarded coat of the baby seal. This odd fur" is made by sweeping up the fine seal hairs from the ice and applying them in thick punches to a background of thin softsleather. This fine, fuzzy fur of young seal hairs is dyed in various colors and Is quite the rage in Paris just now.
 Camel fur--which is really coarse and ugly in texture--is another mo mentary fad in Paris. On recently arrived steamer was a we'll known Screen star, who wore the latest in Paris wraps; voluminous cape of camel hide lined with silver gray silk. Under the camel wrap was trouser- cite frock of silver gray satin. Angora z and \garacul are both enjoying mo- menfary favor in Paris this winter,
