Monkey Fur as Trimming
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Few Americans caro- for monkey
fur as decoration for their clothes.
It may be the cearseness Of the hair
or 1t may be it's origin. A woman
will willingly wear hide and fur Of
all sorts and conditions Of animals
without asking the source, or caring
what that source may be, but singly
and In mass she has an aversion to
monkey. Yet she may wear it this
winter.
France likes it. She started the
fashion somewhere about four years
ago and has never ceased wearing it..
In September it was as generously
sprinkled over new winter frocks as
1t had been on spring frocks in June
days.
All this is we'll known. The new
attitude Of America toward it is
the news interest in the story. Our
designers begin to put monkey fur
on jackets and frocks to make huge
separate collars of it. to use it in
with gold galloon and lace. They
make fringe Of it for colossal
rosettes that catch the drapery Of the
gown at one side or fasten a long
top coat at one hip.
The coats, by the way. are drip
ticuiar garment seems to be its chief
resting place
Those who wish to startle the
public have launched white mon
key fur. putting it on evening
gowns. on black jumper jackets and
bright blue velvet wraps. There is also
an orange colored monkey fur which is
mingled with black to form conSpic-
uous fringe at the edge of draped
collar or to dangle from ornaments
placed at the hinS Orange f,Ir ia unite
fashionable whether. from tiger. civet
cat. or monkey.
There are muffs of monkey fur and
the longer the hair the better. There are
short coats of it that give one curious
resemblance to Robinson Crusoc. 1t may
be that monkeys are plentiful and other
animals are not. 1t may be that France
gets the hides cheap. Her dressmakers
admit they have not their usual supply
OF furs and that they take what they
can ma. Therefore one sees monkey
FUR dangling from every class Of French
women, from the one who sells corSets
10 the one whose yacht puts in to WILLIE
Franche.
1t is not SO popular in America.
Our women have turned q cold shoul-
der upon 1t. althoug' the shopkeep-
crs have stubbornly continued to dis
play 1t in the shop windows But per-
sistency has it's reward. Women are
looking at it a bit more kindly. They
are beginning to trim velvet frocks
with it, as well as the short Jackets
of thick forate material.
The sketch shows a frOck of black
velvet which has amaSSed quite an
amount of monkey fur. 1t drips from
each side of the skirt. it is rolled into
mense collar. the kind that no cave
woman would have refused as a. gift
from a cave man.
This collar also appears on a short

Goosefesh.

An extraordinary number Of women
write to me and complain of large
pores, blackheads and a curiously
rough condition Of. the skin on the
arms and legs which some of them
aptly describe as ''goosehesh."
1t doesn't seem at all polite to write
them and say that this is simply due
to careless washing, yet that's the
plain truth of the matter. The arms
and the legs. not being as heavily
protected from the flying dirt of the
atmosphere as the rest of the body,
need a rather more vigorous cleans
ing. and seldom get it. The lower
part of the leg Is particularly apt to
show coarse black pores because the
fine down that covers the skin turns
into quite noticeable hairs at this
point, around which small black
heads develop.
The arms and the legs should be
moderately stiff brush. either the
small hand scrubbing brush or the
large bath kind. If the large pores
and the hardened matter under the
skin that looks like goosefesh is at
all developed, then this hot water
and scrubbing treatment should be
performed every day; II not, once a
week. You will be amazed to see
how soon the pores of the skin be-
come fine after a few weeks Of this
treatment.
If you have had this "gossefiesh''
for long time the best thing to do
is to soak the arms or legs in hot
water for about ten minutes, then rub

I'll have q surprise for you:
The young Fox licked the plate

be back there a prisoner again. but 1t
was better than being helpless over
in the Green Forest. He knew that
it wasn't likely he would be able to
get that chain free again, and so as
he dropped of to sleep it was with
the feeling that he would probably
always be q prisoner.
Early the next morning Farmer
Browns Boy brought him his food as
usual. and stood by and watched him
eat 1t. Then for a few moments he
petted that young Fox, patted him.
tickled him behind the ears, and al
the time talked to him. Finally he
picked the young Fox up in his arms
and unfastened the chain from the
collar.
Then Farmer Browns Boy started
off with the young Fox in his arms:
What could be going to happen
Where was he being taken to? What
even guess. Somehow he couldn't be-
lieve that 1t meant anything bad. for
all the time Farmer Browns Boy
kept talking to him softly.
Through the Old Orchard into the
Green Forest they went. Then for a
long time Farmer Browns Boy
tramped through the Green Forest
until they were far. far away from
home. At last Farmer Browns Boy
sat down, and for awhile petted the
young Fox. Then he gently placed
the young Fox on the ground and
stepped back. In one hand was the
collar that had SO long been about the
neck of the young Fox.
At first the young Fox didn't know
what to make of it, He simply stood
still. looking up at Farmer Browns
Boy. Then in a hesitating way he
took two or three steps. There was
no pull on his neck from a draggi ing
chain. He shook himself and took
two or three more steps. Then with
a sudden bound he was gone. He was
free! He was as free as he had been
before he had first become pris-
oner. Joy surged all over him such
Joy as he had never known before
Farmer Browns Boy turned and
started for home. He smiled, but
there was little sadness in that
smile He had grown very fond of
that young Fox. and 1t had been hard
to set him free. But he was glad he
had done 1t. 1t was proof Of true

How many of you remember Arthur
Guy Empey? I would naturally re-
member him because he sent me the
largest box of candy I have ever seen,
let alone ever received; and. Of course.
I wouldn't go SO far as to say that
that ton Of candy was more in my life
than his services in the war. or his
book, "Over the Top" or his <'fillum''
entitled the same. But you girls
know how 'tis!
remember a long talk with him
had once, not SO long ago. and how
impressed I was with his dynamic
energy and the way he went at
things. Since that time l hear that
he has fallen in love. And love will
do strange things to a man. even If
he has been over the top. Anyway. 1
recall saying to him: would you
rather go down in the annals of fame
as a soldier or as a writer"
And he said. vehemently: LAS a

To understand the frequency with
which this family name is met today
some explanation Of the social or
ganization of England in the middle
ages. following the Norman-French
occupation, Is necessary.
The life and business and social
customs of the Normans were highly
organized. Disciplined, perhaps, would
be a better word. The Normans ex-
tended their conquest over such a
large portion of northern Europe be-
cause of the very high organization
and discipline which permeated their
entire social structure. They won
their wars because they regarded war
and the preparation for it as "thor-
oughly business proposition" to
apply q modern phrase. In this they
were like the Romans. and unlike the
(Anglo-Saxons and the Celts who pre-
ceded them in England and who.
though fighters of the utmost per-
sonal bravery and prowess. lacked
that discipline, sense of cooperation
and rather scientific attitude which
marked the Normans.
An important part Of the Norman
organization, for peace and war both.
was the office of the chamberlain" :"
so called because he had access to
their superiors' inner privacy. The
chamberlains were, in fact, the
private secretaries and treasurers Of
the rulers of the various feudal di-
visions Of the country. They were
the expert accountants. They con-
stituted the business end of the Nor
man feudal system. And it was nat
ural that their offices, like the au-
thority Of their superiors. should be-
come hereditary and that the title of

designate the family instead of the
