But it wcyr- e swere e different kinds of fur in one set is to be mentioned among the season’s fads and the liking for one-skin effects in scarfs compels attention. Both these novelties are set forth in the picture is in trimmings and in fur sets that | given here. The neckpiecq at the left dealers have been able to make their most universal appeal‘. The new long coats of velvet or 1 of Hudson seal trimmed with fitch and bordered with skunk. The large muff {s barrel shaped with ends satin brocade have large, full collars | banded with fitch. of fur and cuffs so ample that when the hands are brought together they have the effect of a muff. But gar- ments just as smart are furnished with neck bands and cuffs of fur only three inches wide, so it seems that the lati- tude in styles is as great as the variety in furs. This rule holds in matched sets of neckpieces and muffs. The general trend {s toward smaller and shorter scarfs and muffs of moderate size. But exceptions to this are numerous enough for a comfortable assurance that any gracefully shaped scarf or muff {s good style. The most fashionable of furs in sets are Hudson seal, fitch and skunk. Fox is a favorite, and certain fine pelts, as ermine and sable, Alaska seal, and silver fox, are not influenced by the modes to any very great extent. They are always in demand by those who can afford them.

All the thin, filmy fabrics, the flow- ersprinkled stuffs that are so pretty in themselves, and all the lovely laces that veil the flesh so lightly, wait the pleasure of the lady of the boudoir. And it is allowed to meet the morning and start the day in such delightfully becoming caps and negligees as those pictured here. The day within doors is likely to be spent, until the hour for dinner is not far off, clad in such fas- cinating and easy-going garb, if it is to be a day without distractions or inter- ruptions and devoted to the things of home. The two caps and gowns shown here are very simple as compared to oth- ers made for the same sort of wear, by those who go in for the luxuries. But these lounging gowns of crepe have much to recommend them, and simplicity is one of the items in the list of their virtues.

Copyright, 1914, by the McClure News- paper Syndicate. Even after war had been declared and the troops were actually on the march, DBarbara Heathcote failed to realize the gravity of the situation. Comfortably ensconced in her great country bungalow, surrounded by ser- vants and every luxury, she did not see the necessity of worrying about a war which would not upset her own well ordered existence. Barbara had not stopped to realize that the little village in Bedfordshire was right on the line of march. It was with great surprise that she found herself watching an officer retreating from her door having bil- leted a score of soldiers on her. “Where will these troops sleep?” she asked of her old servant. “On the veranda, Miss Barbara, and in the garden,” replied Jenkins, more excited than the soldiers themselves. “We will feed them in the servants’ hall.” In the evening when a score or more of tired but laughing soldiers in khaki came trooping through the great hedge gate Barbara vn\tchedl Bryan’s Spray An losect Destroyer and Disinfectant For Flies, Mosquitoes, Fleas, Roaches, Ants, and other Insects.

She tried ! to stifle a desire to cry, and wondered | why she should feel so helpless alll of a sudden, The men were big and | brave and were going off happily to fight for their country and gl_g!_l:\, womenfolk. l She looked again at the men, HOW ' going toward the back of the house, and their war kits brought fresh emo- tion to Barbara’y heart, They were‘ going to baitie for perhaps months - . and faybé years with that emall pro- Prices: Quarts soc, .I1-3 Gallons 8s5c., Gallons -1.00 Sprayer soc. by Lake armacy Kentucky Bldg. vision of comfort. She turned from the windo® gnd to the telephone. | “Jenkins,” shé called down to her old servant, “see That the cook pro- '3 vides the best of everything for these Qaors men. Spare no expense or trouble to make them comfortable.” When she had hung up the receiver Barbara felt a trifie more like her self. After all, she was regretting the entrance into her life of that score of brave men. Barbara felt the sting of her owvn weakness and the utter uselessness of her life. “Even my servants are doing some- thing for those men,” she told her- self when she heard a burst of laugh- ter from the direction of the lower dining hall. So long did she sit in the darkness that before she knew it the troops billeted on her had ceased Lakelard Dry Cleaning =——PLANT—— G. C. Williamson, Prop.

Bar- and bara jumped up and went swiftly into the moonlight among the soldiers. They arose as one man at her coming and stood looking at the slim white figure. “I can't stand it to have you sleep- ing out here,” she said breathlessly, “You must all come inside. I will have all the room necessary.” She smiled : when they demurred, and commanded | in a most adorable manner. ‘Please let me have my way,” she said. “I have never done anything in my whole life for any one save myself. Please let me do what I can now.” And because she was crying Barbara hast- ened to help Jenkins make up the many beds in the great house. The troops remained only until the morning of the third day, and when they had marched off with their bands playing and a smile on their lips Barbara wept as it her heart would break. Bedfordshire was impossible to her after that. The life of ease and lux- ury was not to be borne. She could not sit idly by and walt for news from the front; she must go and be a part of that vorking contingent and do her mite. Quality Customers. please Phone 405 Instead of 298.
