OLK COUNTY AGENTS. G2 ALOT of odd shapes in muffs add something to the spice of life by way of variety this season. An occa- sional complaint is voiced regarding too much “sameness” in gown models, and even in millinery one hears that there is a lack of variety in shapes, but in furs there is no chance for dis- content on this score. The most noticeable of the new shapes is the melon muff. Then there are the barrel muffs, and in thelr class the plain, round muff, which has shown that it can “come back.” Among the oddest shapes is a triangular muft with the apex—which happens to be the bottom—slashed into four silk- lined points. The base of the triangle, the top of the muft, is curved down- ward. The opening at each end is bound with contrasting fur. The combination of two kinds of fur, of fur and velvet or fur and plush, in the eeason's offerings is worth con. sidering. The dark, soft furs, such as seal, broadtail, and others, make a rich background for fitch, skunk, er- mine, fox, etc. Velvet serves the same purpose, and the various plushes or | “fur cloths” are considered quite hand- some enough to be decorated with the richest of real skins, A combination of Hudson seal and mink is shown in the picture. In this the very ample square, flat muff is gathered up in plaits at the center, | Shoes for the HOES for the promenade weather and on paved walks are in fair : quite different from those that must meet sterner demands, like the tramp { on country roads, rain or shine, or the daily walk to business. Now thut women demand so much in appear- ance and have grown so diserimi- nating as to style and fitness few shoes are designed for all-round wear. There is economy in having three pairs of shoes for anyone who is much out of doors. If one of these is simply for dress the other two pairs, worn alternately or according to weather conditions, may be kept in perfect repair and will give better service in this way. Just now the most fashionable boot for the street has a cloth top in fawn color tan, or gray cloth with patent colt vamp. Sometimes the heel is covered with cloth, but oftener it is a smart Louis heel of leather. model shown here is laced up lh-; front, where each side is faced with a | narrow strip of leather. The stay at the back is trimmed in points and the shoe is exquisitely made. With the very short, narrow underskirts (now so much worn with long tunics) this shoe is elegant and is worn with all | the fashionable dark colors in sults.f There are similar shoes that button at the side instead of lacing up the front. A neat, inconspicuous and service- able shoe for daily wear is made of fine, dull mat kid with a wide toei and Cuban heel of medium height. | It is substantially put together and The | where mink skins encircle it. The narrow scarf is of the seal with mink skin decoration. Hudson seal, in broader scarfs and plainer muffs, is shown having fitch skins posed in bands on it, and this combination has | proved very successful. The vogue for monkey fur i8 con- spicuous. 0dd, closefitting collare | of the long hair, and round muffs, are | the most pleasing models in this long, silky fur. Collars are high and some- times fastened with a metal rose. DECORATED SASH ENDS' ARE IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE SEASON’'S GOWNS. When Possible, Hand Work Should | Always Be Employed on Them— Sketch Shows a Design That WIll Work Out Well. The sash is a very important feature | of the gown as now worn, and upon its choice and decoration much de-, pends. The most artistic of these. sashes are those that are adorned with handwork; nothing ever sur- passes the work that is done by hand. ! Beautiful as the machine-made pat- terns are, they can never hope to equal that done by the former means. The design in the sketch will bo| found to work out very effectively; the roses are done with the rose’ :leaves in satin stitch. i well worth while the deing; it is stitch, and the stem, bow of ribbon and leaves with ordinary embroidery stitches. The eatin sash can be bought all ready made, but without any deco- ration. They are to be had in all shades; all that has to be done in this case is to simply iron a transfer on the ends of the ribbon and embroider them. It the worker prefers the sash can be made up at home; in that case it is better to work the ends before mak- ing up the sash, The roses may be ’broldery at home, for even if the {work can be bought nt most fancy| i shops and there also the transfers are cream, pink, white or red in color; this will, of course, depend upon the gown that the sash is to adorn. They are worked as follows: Begin in the center of the rose; make a few satin stitches, then make i several back stitches; let the stitches be of unequal length and put them closely together to get the effect of folded-over petals. Now work this center with a row of larger stitches; these can be in a lighter shade of the color used for the roses. An outer row is added; these loops or stitches should be made a little tighter than the others, as they serve to draw the rose together, as it were. Let the center of ithe rose be the deepest in tint and the outside the palest, The bow of ribbon is simply worked with satin stitch; the bow may be of any color to tone with the general color scheme or it may be worked with the same shade of green as the stalks and leaves. The stalk can be worked with crewel stitch, and the The sprays are easily and quickly worked and are much more economical to do this em- gown has to be sent out to be made! the cost of hand embroidery has been saved. The necessary silks for the| to be had. Utilizing Lace Shawls. Those who possess old style shawls of chantilly, Spanish, burges or italian laces may renew them with an eyo toward their ultimate usage for this winter’'s donning. Laces of this de- scription and shape may be fashioned into wonderfully effective capes for this winter's wear, and without cutting or defacing their delicate threads orl altering them in any way. They should be mounted on mousseline, chiffon and satin lining and may be affixed to handsome collars of brilliant hued vel- vets or be decorated with furs. et Small, swagger waistcoats of velvet | FUBIHHISIRELSLENPABN0 S FOERITROIB BT S0 OO The Lakeland Steam Laundry support wide collare of the soft, long- | haired furs, like fox, and are some-' thing very new. Little vestees of bril- t lant brocade or cloth of gold or silver | are set in these wailstcoats, and the combination of velvet, brocade and luxurious furs is irresistible. Long, soft muffs of velvet with ruffles at each end are banded with a broad band of fur at the middle and nar- rower bands where the ruffles are gathered in at each end. These muffs look generously warm, reaching up to the elbows when the hands are in. These are only a few of the many shapes and combinations to be found | in fur sets. But they serve to show that it is allowable to “go as you please” and as far as you like in the selection of odd creations in neck pieces and muffs. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Out-of-Doors '___“ shown In the central figure. With dull calf vamp and kid top, a slight extension sole and low heel, one can defy weather and all sorts of roads in this boot and cover good distances unconscious of feet. It laces up the front, but similar models are made to button. . Every one should try to become in- formed about quality in shoes. Thanks to the excellence of American manufacturers we wear the best-| shaped and most stylish footwear in the world. We can have both style and comfort and know when we are getting these. Dut as to leather, most buyers must take the word of the sell- er, because one cannot rely upon ! one's own knowledge.

Take a smooth pine board about an inch thick and about nine or ten inches square, cover with cretonne, plush, felt or any desired material. From the under side of board drive through wire nails two and one-half inches in length ard about two inches apart. Make a hole with gimlet part way through, as then board will be less likely to split when nails are be- ing driven through. Place spools on nails, number side up. A thread can be easily cut from spool without re- | moving it from rack and one is saved is very comfortable. It is designed for both style and service, and de- gerves to be described as sensible. Two pairs of this kind will prove a | good investment. H For the hardest wear the second pair of shoes might be like those | the bother of having one’s thread in a tangle. If you wish to take your work to the piazza or another room you have all the different sizes, colors, silks basting and darning cottons with you in this rack.
