‘WUMXN’S PAGE.” From the Furrier’s €utting Table BY MARY MARSHALL, We ro longer judge & woman’s furs by the actual intrinsic value of the peltry fnvolved, but by the manner in which the fur has been manip: lated, the cut and finish of the gar- ment and the style and originality of the design. It is quite possible now for a garment trimmed with a peltry no more valuable than dyed hare to be of greater worth in the eyes of UNUSUAL WAY LARGE CUFF: SEAL < v ING FUR. OF APPLIQUED ERMINE, O BAND OF B HT WITH TORTOL BUCKLE TRIMS BEIGE FAILLE HAT. BELOW IT, WHITE GEOR- GETTE COLLAR D JABOT EDGED WITH WHITE RABRIT, AND NEXT THAT, NARROW COL- LAR OF LEOPARD TIED WITH fmagines that the trifing pleces of fur that the great dressmakers some- times use for decovative purposes were scraps from the fur cutter's table that offered inspiration to the master imagination of the designer. White rabbit assumes real impor- tance in the hands of the French dres: makers, and from them we have learned to have something like re- spect for this cheap peltry. For a trifiing accessory that is to be worn a few times and then discarded for something else, thre is much better sense in using good quality white rabbit than costly ermine—and the! effect is quite as good. The sketch shows & charming white georgette collar and jabot, edged with this white fur. Leopard fur is used for collars, sometimes with cuffs to match. A brown frock is finished with a nar- row collar of leopard, which is tied with orange ties, which hang down and then run through a slit in the frock, while a bit of the leopard ends the silk. There are all sorts of strange com- binatlons of fur nowadays, and furs are colored in surprising manner, At the outset of the season there was much talk of the use of hare dyed purple, green and red, and ermine seemed never to appeal to fashion- able women unless it had taken on the color of the pansy or the rose, the lily or the buttercup. But though we talked about this fashion, very wom followed it. Gilded goat fringe, however, seems to appegl to more cons ive taste, and when used on a frock of gold lace the ef-| fect is really charming (Copyright. 1824.)

The little angel alreddy knows the \‘)u_e of money, and if he has a penny his ferst thawt is that the man in the candy store will give him something for it. The only complication is, he allways wunts the candy before i will give up the penny, and after he gets it he invarlably changes his mind and wunts to keep the candy and the penny too. and quite a few scenes have resulted.

EAR DOROTHY DIX: I belong to what is called the middle class. A young man, whose family prides itself upon its blue blood and social position, wishes to marry me.. His family is very much opposed to the match, as they consider me their soclal inferior. family and says that once we are married they will accept me. My suitor wishes to defy his But having no ambition to be a soclal climber, I resent the thought of being forced on his family circle. Frankly, I don't relish the thought of being an unwelcome daughter-in- law, and I am afraid that, after the romance has worn itself off, my now ardent admirer may turn into a carping critic, and feel that he had sacrificed too much in marrying me. Answer: marriage: same conditions, traditions. Of course, there are exceptions to all rules, especially to all matrimonial rules, but, generally speaking, a marriage between a young girl and an old man is never happy, while the marriage of a woman to & man much younger than herself is almost invariably a tragedy. at his peril, while a poor girl is generally a misfit as a rich man's wite. The same rule holds good in the case of what we call mesalliance Every now and then some rich society girl runs off with her chauffeur o elopes with her riding master, and about two or three years later their romance ends in the divorce court.

There are 24 hours in the day. To some of us they are all too short for what we wish to do with them. We crowd them full and greedily long for more. Cramming the hours with work and play and r gives one such a nse of fitn and power. All of us love to feel that we are conquering time. The scientists like to call ux time binders. I think what they mear. to say is that we catch time and hold 1t down to our service. Anythow, it is n.l‘;.tr at fun, this flling our dey he We lose much of our interest and the whole of our joy in living if we must fill our hours with the interests and occupation of other people. We die inwardly if we are not permitted to create. I do not mean that each of us is a great artist and that our salva- tion depends upon the realization of our great powers. There are few great artists. But I do claim that each of us has the power to create something and that we are happy or unhappy according to the opportunity We have to use that power. One man can make a garden and an- other prefers to make & pair of shoes. To each his own. Make sure, however, that each gets & chance at his own. Of course, I am begging for the chil- dren. The power of creation, the in- stinct to create, to bulld, to change the face of things, is strong in the youngsters and too often we kill it by holding them down to the daily grind of things that we think good for them and never leave them a minute to work out their own thoughts.

When Reddy Fox heard the bang, bang. of a terrible gun in the direc- tion in which Mrs. Reddy had run he forgot how tired and worn out he was. He jumped to his feet and stood straining his ears, and on his face was such an anxious look as it had seldom worn. A great fear mad, him tremble. It wasn't fear for him- self. It was fear for Mrs. Reddy Had she been killed by that terrible gun? dogs would stop when they reached the place. If they stopped baying he would know that his mate had lost her life in saving his Never had Reddy anxiously to his own trall as listened half so he now listened to \ LL HE SAW WAS THE TIP OF MRS. REDDY'S TAIL AS SHE DIS- APPEARED IN THE BUSHES AT ONE SIDE. the voices of those dogs ofi the trail of Mrs. Reddy. Would they stop barking? Presently, with a little sigh ‘of relief and thankfulness, Reddy once more lay down. He could still hear the voices of those dogs, but they were growing fainter and faint- er. He knew that those dogs were now far beyond the place from which had come the bang, bang of that terrible gun. He knew that Mrs. Reddy was still running. She hadn't been killed. But it was just good fortune and her own quick wit thut had kept Mrs. Reddy from being killed. Unknown to Mrs. Reddy, one of those hunters had changed kis position. She had thought she knew where each one of those hunters was waiting, but this one had changed “his hiding place, and so Mrs. Reddy, wholly unexpected- 1y to herself, came out of the bushes right in front of him. She saw him the instant that he saw her. Now, there are no quicker wits on all the Green Meadows or in all the Green Fo! than the wits of Mr Reddy. She proved it now. Instead of doing the thing that hunter ex- pected her to do and was prepared for her to do, she did just the vppo- site. Instead of running away from Biga, she turned instantly and ran He knew that if she had those | the voices of dogs on| | | himself in some way, and eny ferther discussion on the subjeck ends in a perfeck uproar on his part. So you see it is next to impossible to teetch him subtracktion. But with ddition its another story. As soon as I hand him more pennies he adds them up with apparently no effort at all and holds out his little hand tor more and would keep that up till there wasent another penny left in the werld.

And because| she had come out of the bushes very close to him, in the first place, she had actually passed him before he had recovered from his surprise. He whirled around to shoot, but he was too late to get a fair shot. All he saw was the tip of Mrs. Reddy's tail as she disappeared in the bushes at one side. He shot into the bushes on chance of getting her by good u But the good luck was Mrs. Reddy’s, and not his. Two or three of the shot did hit her. They hurt, did no serious harm. exclaimed Mrs. Reddy to herself. “That fs: the marrowest: es~ cape I ever have had. I guess I did just the right thing that time.

It was not for nothing she had been called Miss Swiftfoot before she be- came Mrs. Reddy. She crossed those | Green Meadows like a little red streak. Straight up the Long Lane she turned, and then through Farmer Brown's barnyard. The sound of the dogs on her htrail was growing faint- er.
