AUTO WINS ITS WAY
IN EASTERN LANDS

The automobile has recently made
two more conquests in out-of- the-way
parts of the world. Our State depart
ment has just recognized the govern
ment of Ibn Saud, king of Hejaz and
sultan of Nejd and divers other tracts
Of the Arabian desert. Ibn controls
the sacred place of Mecca, and it
seems that Moslem pilgrims who for
merly journey thither by caravan
now prefer to travel by auto bus,
much to the scandal of the holy meu
and the discontinue of the camel
drivers. In diplomatic circles it is
calculated that our recognition of the
picturesque Arab potentate will stim-
ulate the sale of American automo-
biles in the land of the prophet.
Meanwhile the dalai lama, head of
the monastic hierarchy that rules
Tibet, has ordered devil wagon"
from India for his private and royal
use, all of which is in defiance of the
15,O00-odd monks who constitute the
governing caste of the country. The
story goes that the grand lama pre-
viously owned another car, but the
other priests objected so vigorously
to it that he soon locked it up in
mule stall in the monastery. where
it succumbed to the ravages of rust.
The magnitude of such an innova
ton may be understood when one
realizes that the machine age in
Tibet has largely been limited to the
prayer wheels in which the $4,000.
odd monks grind out their incanta-
tions.

together most of the way round the
waistline.
If you are wanting to give your new
wool frock an extra dash of style, top
it with one of the jaunty little eton
jackets made Of an effective fiat fur,
if not caracul then seal or mink or
spotted leopard skin, the latter being
all the rage for the coat entire, or
used as trimming, and especially nifty
for the new cravat and muff sets
which are SO highly in vogue. The
latest wrinkle is to carry fiat pocket
jacket, or, If preferred, wee mutt.
Newest etons fasten at the neck with
a scarf tie of seIf-fur. Others have
volqminous collars, while still others
adopt piquant little military neck
bands.
1t is indeed a season of fancy elab
crate furs, fact which is emphasized
particularly in the new neckpieces
which are Of endless variety. There
is, per example, the lei boa, the ends
of which are Joined in circle, the
idea being to throw it about the neck
and shoulders as the Hawaiians wear
their flower garlands. These are es-
pecially smart in rose-beige fox. Then
there is the scarf fashioned of as
many as five or six skins, perhaps err
mine or maybe mink or sable. These
can be arranged in all sorts of effec-
tive poses.
Perhaps the biggest sensation in the
realm of furs is the two-in-one coat
which has its skirt portion attached
to the upper portion with snap fast
eners and in less time than it takes
to tell it can be converted into a short
jacket or long coat.

Fur Goats Are Cheaper
and More Attractive

This year very few wardrobes will
be lacking in fur coat. For they're
not only more reasonably priced than
they have been for years and years
but they're also made in much more
attractive styles. Fur coats follow the
same silhouette that's smart in cloth
coat fashions. Long straight lines with
waistlines fitted in and interest con-
centrated above the waist. Concen-.
trated mostly in making one look
broader at the top. And this is
brought about through various shapes
in collars and through the sleeves as
we'll.
Though one will occasionally see col
lars Of long-haired contrasting furs,
much more often they are made of the
same fur as the coat. The shawl type
still remains favorite. Up in the
back and framing the face, nothing
could be more Gathering.

FASHION FEATURES
OF 1882 COATS

A coat of fur or coat of fabric
may well be asked these questions. If
it can answer most of them in the
affirmative, it passes fashions test for
! this winter:
Is it long enough to cover the dress?
Is it inclined to breadth in the shoul-
ders?
Does it definitely fasten at the nat
ural waistline, and at one side?
Are the hips slimly nodded?
Does 1t have only a moderate flare,
but sufficient lap-over SO it doesn't fly
open?
Does it have fullness and interest
somewhere in the sleeves?
Does it have an outstanding, flatter-
ing collar?
Does it have wider armhole?
Does it treat fiat fur as if it were
fabric?
Does it use long-haired fur for it's
most flattering effect?

bination has been omitted in knitted
styling and the effect in texture is so
versatile it challenges even an expert

There's nothing smarter for fall

Black, red and white are the colors
chosen for the sports dress shown.
Tri-color diagonal knit is used in

striking contrast to the black Jersey.

WINTERTIME
BY ID. C. PEATTTE,

It is when we are in trouble that
we find cut who our real friends are.
And when the frost has nipped the
gardens, when the air has q sting Of
frost crystals in it, when the leaf has
left the tree and the last cricket voice
Is still, then we find which of the
birds that fiattered our ears with song
In Summer care sufficiently for our
society to linger with us In the season

These are our permanent residents
Gas distinguished from Winter visitants
and Summer visitants) and a lovabie
lot they are-including, as they do,
many of the universal favorites, one or
two of the finest singers, one CT two Of
the most brilliant birds of plumage.
They will be, tao, the first birds to
sing next Spring.
We say they "come back" but
actually this is inaccurate in most
cases. The common r.bin, the sweet
tempered bluebird, the undulant gold
finch who sings as he flys, the thrill
ing, vociferous cardinal bird, the field
sparrow and the Carolina chickadee
are not the first to arrive" for they
have never left us. At least, they post
rear guard among us, as an outpost
against Winter, and 1t sings with ever
so slight an encouragement from the
weather.
Among the other permanent resi-
dents. who become far more notable
in Winter than at any other time. are
the tufted titmouse, the cedar wax
wing, crows, jays and screech-cwls.
The grackles live here. but quite 10
cally, all Winter. The bob-white,
mourning dove and kingfsher are in
the same class.
OF them all, the cardinal, or red
bird. seems to me the most desirable
feathered neighbor that we have in
Winter. He is, Summer or Winter, the
most dazzling bit CT plumage in our
skies, and If he has not the sweetest
or the subtlest song in all the wild

Is worthy of the name that is heard
in Winter. On any warm day, any
sunny noon of thaw, he may break
into his whistle for minute, giving
at least his warning call. if not the

as we hear at the opening of the
counting season. How heartening it

about them. He thought of no one but
himself, which is likely to be the way

night as he was shutting along toward
the swamp just above the Smiling Pool
to look for Frog or two, he heard
strange noise and stopped, for 1t was
coming toward him. The noise was
made up of tiny squeaks and growls,
with now and then louder one. In

face OF or Mrs. Postum. If her face
was familiar, her form wasn't. Such

have sprouted small heads and tails
all over her. She was taking her fam
lily out to dinner. Yes, sir; that is
what she was doing. Two or three were
in her big pocket, and the rest were
clinging to her wherever they could get
hold of her fur, some on her back and
others clinging to her sides No Won
