BY AN Flying squirrel has come into an important plac s a trimming fur— both for frocks and coats of cloth and as collars and cuffs for Wraps of other peltry. Hare and astra khan are. other furs that French dressmakers are using in considers able : quantity for decoration of frocks. Red fox is still smart. One of the most attractive ideas thus far of- fered for autumn is the black velvet zown tifimmed with red fox collar, cuffs and bandings. Mink has also found a place as a trimming fur and sable is certainly not in the discard . Ordinary squirrel, as well as the fly- fng variety, makes a good trimming fur and has been used effectively in one instance to form ten bands around a circular skirt—slightly tilted p at the left side, The sleeves show five bands of the squirrel going around about the flaring lower half. There seem to bo just two preva- ent_sorts of fur-trimmed sleeves on frocks and wraps—sleeves that gradually flare from a tight shoul- der to a wide cuff trimmed with a . wide band of fur, cr sleeves that are snug from shoulder to wrist, in which case the fur is applied as a wide deep cuff of almost muff-like proportions. Occasionally there is a frock with short sleeves ending above the elbow edged with a wide band of fur. The fur-trimmed frock almost Jdways has a wide band of fur around he hem or around the edge of a long unic. Ocecasionally both skirt unic are edged with the fu ometimes only the front o unic is fur trimmed, carryin the idea of the season to confine trimming to the front Coat frocks and other fr de- signed to be worn outdoors without « wrap show fur collar, sometimes igh and wide, stunding right up around the eard, and somctimes flat and following the lines of bateau ecke.

Observe, Paul says nothing about his reasons for wishing Apollos to go, or Apollos’ reasons for wishing to stay. He does not say that he was right and the other man wrong. He does not revive the difference or repeat the controver: He merely ys that he gave way, and adds that Apollos will come later, as if to assure the Corinthians that Apollos is not unfriendly.
