FUR FROCKS
LATEST
BY Alice LangeIier.

PARIS.
Fur frocks ara the latest fancy
In dressmaking circles.
Some Of the new coat.dresses
that are being turned out Of the
Partisan work-ooms are made en-.
tirely Of fur. They viii be nice
and coy when winter comes
along and not too heavy, for the
lighter kind If pelts are being
chosen to avoid all appearance OF
stiffness. Moleskin is one Of the
favorites for the fur frocks, he.
cause 1t is so soft and can be man.
aged very much like cloth or silk.
Then, its pretty tones of gray are
becoming to nearly every woman.
One of the. couturiers is showing
a novelty fur checked frock, with
mole and sealskin forming the
checks. Natural and lustre gazelle
are used in the same manner, and
two varieties of rabbit, which is
ever popular.
Leopard skin Las all the signs Of
being king among the furs this sea-
son. 1t is usel for making the
most striking fur frocks and trim
ming any number Of costumes. In
deed, the supply is so short Of the
demand that the furries are liser-
ally painting the leopard's spots On
gray rabbit skin. They are put on
with n clever brush and, so far, are
said to stand the weather well.
For the woman who wears brown
there is nutria fCr frocks, trimmed
with a beaver or kolinski collar,
and for evening wear there IS royal
white ermine, which in most cases
these days is, Of course, only the
humble white rabbit, with black
spots painted in. but none the less
beautiful in any case.
A large Paris fur house is featur-
ing a new rabbit this season, in
imitation Of cLinchilla, which is
likely to find its way to many wo.
mems wardrobes. 1t is most re.
markable likeness to the expensive
fur and appears to best advantage
for trimming coats, capes and eve.
ming gowns. Leather is effectively
combined with fun in many. of the
models of this house. A moleskin
frock has stripes of suede, the
same shade as the fur, and a Rus.
sian blouse, in Persian lamb, has
bands Of red leather.

Dandy, the pony. kept br.lvelv

When he got into the barn I

Of the most trying moments Of

that he had visions Of freezing to

own age. We have been friends
for two or three years, but my
parents objected and I became
friendly with another young man.
L don't love the other young
man except as friend. The
last time I saw the young man
mentioned first, he asked me
whether 1 cared more for. him
or the other man. 1 refused to
answer. Do you suppose he
thinks I like the other young
man better because ! refused to
answer?
Please tell me what to do.
This young man is the only one
I can ever love and I don't wish
him to think I love the other
young man for I do not.
ANXIOUS GIRL.
LIE WILL not feel that you.
IA do not care for him. But
1t would be unwise to let him
know that you care so much.
Until he asks you to marry him
it will be better not to make
your feelings for him known too
plainly. So you were quite right
in refusing to answer.
If he really cares for you, he
will doubtless in time succeed in
overcoming your parents objec-

Clearing the Ground

For more than generation, American revolu-
tionary unionists have had their minds befuddled
by the maze of conflicting and dual unions in
existence. And the greatest confusion was caused,
so far as the rebels were concerned, by those or
CARNATIONS which existed principally in the minds
of few zealots in the form of blueprinted pro-
grams for the millennium.
But the ground is gradually being cleared One

|. l. u has at last given up the ghost At its
convention" in Troy, N. Y. last month"; the adj
mission was made that less than a hundred mem
bers had been keeping the organization alive for
years. and that it really ridiculous to continue
the pretense any longer. So the hundred old
timers are finally going to face reality long
enough to vote on a referendum as to whether the
w l. /. q. should not be liquidated
Which is a most remarkable moment in history,
indeed precedent has been set! Heretofore
such useless organizations have never, even after
twenty years of cluttering up the scene had the
grace to quietly commit suicide. We recommend

Gotham Shirt Ironers
Strike When Bosses
Fail to Sign Pact

NEW YORK, June S.-More than
thousand union shirt ironers and
several hundred workers drawn to the
union by the walkout are on strike
in New York city following the re-
fusal of employers to renew the agree
ment which expired May Is. About
60 per cent OF the Shops have ex-
pressed their intention to sign the
new contract on June 5, according to
]. Mackey of the strike committee.
The strikers are members of local
$50, Laundry Workers International
union, American Federation Of Labor.
The workers, chiefly men, are piece
workers and hours and conditions are
not involved in the controversy. I'm
der the old contract they made from
$40 to $35 week. The proposed con
tract for one year changes the rate
on dress shirts, which would increase
the pay from about fifty cent to a
dollar a week.
About 5000 shops, all hand laun'
dries, are affected, as many of the
strikers work in two or three differ
ent small shops each week in order to
secure enough work 20 make living
The union reports sufficient strike
funds on hand and that there is nc
immediate plant to ask for sympa
thetic action on the part OF the Laun
dry and Allied Trades council OF
which It is member.
