Appeals for aid for suffering Ar menians and other Christian peoples in the near East were made in many churches yesterday. Subscription cards were distributed to the con- gregatfons by committees of laymen. The movement is under the direction of Near East Relief.
 The appeal has received the ap- proval of Cardinal Gibbons, Evang- cline Booth, head of the Salvation Army; Rabbi Stephe en Wise and many other persons prominent in the relig- ious life of the nation.
 Of all appeals Miss Booth said, flew have more profoundly impressed me personally, and I hope and pray that a similar experience will be shared by a multitude more equal to an adequate response than we are" ." Of the imperative need of eontin- n ing she work of relief in the near
 tECardinal Gibbons declared: F'It As imperative that we unite as Chris tfan people. irrespective of creed, to collect and contribute funds. The need is desperate"

ETIQUETTE

Dress for an Evening at Home - What is the proper dress for an even- ing at home? Which would be proper, an evening gown, and if so would one keep her hat on, or would an evening gown be proper (Answer)-At an evening reception the hostess wears full evening dress; that is, a hand some decoflete gown, such as might appropriately appear at a. ball. a, dim ner, or at the opera. She does not wear a hat for an evening function, but she may put jewels in her hair.
 Eating Celery and OIfves-(1) What is the correct way to serve and eat celery and olives? CD Is it proper for lady to rise upon being introduc- ed to a person, whether it be a gen tleman or lady? (Answer)-Celery and olives are served on the same dish. The celery is broken into small pieces so as to avoid the necessity of pulling apart. Both are finger foods, and served as relishes.
 A woman always rises to acknowl- edge an introduction to one of her own sex or to her host; also to any mem Der of her hostess family who is not very much her junior. If a young lady or a man is brought up for fntroduc- J the elder woman does not rise, nor does a woman of any age rise in acknowledgment when a man is pre- scented to her, unless she is a hostess, or unless the man presented is her host or g. gentleman of very distin- guished position or very elderly per son.
 Removing the Hat have been invited to a theatre party which will include a. dinner at the conclusion of the show. The point I desire made clear is this-shou1d I remove my hat or gloves before sitting at the table (Answer)-A woman does not reno her bonnet and veil and gloves. At the table she unpins her veil, if she wears one and merely pushes it off her face, readjusting it at the con- clusion of the meal. Her gloves she begins to take off directly she is seat ed at the table, and draws them on again before rising.
 DRESS AT WEDDINGS. S.---What is the proper dress for masculine guests at an evening wedding? What few words should be said to the bride and groom?
 (Answer.) )---At an evening wedding, full evening dress is the only costume possible. To the bride one may say: Let me wish you every happin less in your married life.'' To the groom: 'I must congratulate you on your good fortune" Or to both: q feel I cannot wish for you both any greater happiness than you have al ready found"
 ''RECIFiROCATTNG' AN INVITA- TION.---sIs it expected or customary that a lady reciprocate to g, gentle mans invitation 2''
 Answer. )--I am not sure just what you mean. If you mean to ask whether she should, in turn, invite him to a similar entertainment at her expense, the answer is mo" If you mean to ask whether she should thank him for the pleasure his invitation has given her, the answer is "yes."

AMERICANS LEAD ENTIRE WORLD
 IN FUR TRADE
Population Fast Becoming Largest Users of Pelts In
 All Nations.

All signs point to this country be- coming the most befurred nation with the possible exception of Esquimaux.
 The last five years have seen the largest amount of furs sold in this country in it's history at steadily in- creasing prices and at the moment the United States, next to Russia, is probably the greatest consumer Of fur garm rents in the world.
 In February, St. Louis will see pelts valued at s25, COG, 600 offered under the hammer The sale will bring pur- Ichasers from all parts of the world and will undoubtedly create record prices for certain skins.
 While London still disputes the fact, American fur dealers say this country has become the centre of the fur in- dustry- It is interesting to note tha- the F, 900 Alaska sealskins offered for sale on account of the United States Government were dressed, dyed and machined in this country instead of London as formerly.
 The fur catch last year was entirely inadequate compared with the de- mand and if the present consumption keeps up, in spite of mounting prices, the next few years will see a serious shortage in furs for market.
 That Australia, Canada and the United States are considering more stringent game conservation laws, some of which will probably be in force this year, only aggravates the situation. Already Canada has many important fox farms. where the more costly variety. like the silver fox, are being bred solely for fur selling pur- poses.
 The furs which are to be sold next month come from every corner of the world and include 100000 China dog mats, used mostly for coats in cOTd Northwest countries; from Siberia, ], 300, 900 squirrels, 2G0, ,000 ermine, 5000 white foxes. 10000 kolinskies, 200, 900 marmots, 125OO0 fitch and 5000 Rus sian sables.
 Australia has sent 100000 pounds of rabbit skins, 50O.oOO Australian op- possum, 10000 walIaby, 11,0O0 kanga- roo, 100, 900 ringtail oppossums and 60, GOO redofoxes.
 From Persia and Turkestan there will be offered 10000 Persian lamb skins.
 Europe contributes 800, 900 mole skins and many thousand red foxes.
 The United States offers S00,000 muskrats, 300, GOO skunk, 1000 beavers, 1000 wolves, 1000 silver foxes, 125,O00 racoons and many other varieties.
  the Reds in Siberia will materially decrease the offerings of Siberian belts later in the year unless the po- iltical situation changes.
 The craze for fur coats, especially of Hudson seal, has advanced the price of brown muskrat from $1 a pelt two years ago to nearly s and the demand continues at top prices. The demand for beaver to trim these coats and frocks was never greater. One dealer says: If the demand for beaver continues at the present rate, it will pay some enterprising lumber companies to add the breeding of this animal to their business
 America apparently has not taken to the monkey skin style so prevalent in France and England at the mo- ment, but dealers believe they will have to supply such a demand next year and are preparing for it.

The overb1ouse goes to & daring extreme here when 1t reaches knee length. A plain kimono sleeve is cut into the very unusual yoke. The blouse is bound in about the waist by sash of Se1f-materiaI with ends of plain blue satin. The blouse, you see, is a blue and white fou1ard. A two-tone ribbon of blue and silver white is the chosen finish for the neck. The pockets are large patch ones, but do not interrupt the pat tern of the foulard in the least way.
 The skirt you might think a silk but it isn't It is pfque. The hat is strangely suggestive of the land of the ukulele, and 'tis there 1t got it's inspiration, for it is known as Ha- waiian straw. The only trimming is band of blue satin ribbon about its rugged crown.
