IIIEN woman was created, ac

cording to an old legend,

Earth and Heaven were

ransacked to provide her

with charms and graces.

Ortalnlj they have been exploited ever since for new articles of adorn-

. nient, mineral, vegetable and animal

nature being called upon to yield tnelr

dearest treasures.

Furs are among the oldest articles

of clothing which hare contributed to the comfort and appearance of humanity. The idea of snatching the Jackets of his four-footed brothers and

enemies to shield his own tender and unprotected skin must bare occurred

very early to prehistoric man. Even today there is a sort of primitive ap

peal about rich, glossy skins, fash

ioned Into garments .of the utmost

luxury and comfort. The becomlngness of furs, no less than their beauty and utility, attracts the fastidious woman, for, as a setting to feminine loveliness, they have scarcely an equal. This Is particularly true of natural, undyed fnrs, and thus It la fortunate when a season ' like the present fayors their use. : Natural opossum, raccoon and fox - are among the 'most fashionable of .'winter furs, and are moderate enough In price, for the most part Skunk, 'which la another natural, durable and comparatively inexpensive fur, also holds Irs popularity of the last few

seascnt. Mole skia 1 also shown in

combination with other furs, or made

up in sets, with trimmings of passe-

mentrie. The working of mole-skin and seal in patterns is one of the novelties of the present fur season. In

very high priced fur, mink promises

to be a leader for general 'wear, while

the "Coronation" has given an lm

petus to ermine, as a fur for dressy

occasions. The little talis, which are

usually sewed throughout an ermine

garment, are arranged more sparingly

on this season's creations, and in some

cases entirely omitted. Some very

broad scarfs of seal have linings of

plain ermine.

Red, gray, brown and black fox are

all used extensively, and tipped fox is exceedingly modish. White fox, for

evening wear, always has a large num

ber of admirer, and Is used this sea

son, as formerly, in pretty, fluffy sets,

or as a trimming to garments of er

mine.

Fewer beads and tails are seen on

furs than for some years past, and

this would seem an advance in taste. Of course, there are fox sets, and sets

of raccoon and fisher, in natural, animal shades, but for the most part broad pelerine and shawl collar ef

fects, with trimmings of passamentrie,

braid, fringe or tassels prevail, ac

companied by plain muffs, slightly

smaller than the modish ones of last season. The best shape of muff is

undoubtedly the half-barrel, or pillow

variety, Which has much of the grace ful roundness of the barrel muff, with

out its bulk and awkwardness. Very large pelerines of mink, er

mine and chinchilla, in effect whole

wraps of the shawl or cape variety,

are exhibited for those whose purses

can stand such luxuries, and are among the most graceful designs of

this decade.

The woman who cannot, for any

reason, consider a full length fur coat,

will find comfort in the many pretty

short jackets of fur that are to be the

smart thing this winter. These little

short coats are usually about the

length of the fashionable suit jacket, which Is twenty-six to twenty-eight

inches, and they are modeled on much

the same lines. Etons of fur are also

pretty and correct, taking the place o the large perellne, or fur scarf. These

short coata are usually of seal or Hud

son seal, broad-tail, astrachan or

baby lamb with collars and cuffs, or

other trimmings, of fuller, fluffier fur. The Etons are sometimes bordered all

about with contrasting fur, while the jackets show a great variety of large shawl collars and revers of raccoon,

fox oil skunk. .v

Sailor collars, even, are used on

fur coats, some in square, some in round, and some In pointed effects.;

Forty-five inch coats of fur are oc-i

casionally seen, and offer an excellent compromise between the merits of the

full-length coat and the short jacket

Floku effects in stoles of short fine fur, are sometime caught at the waist with a handsome buckle or ornament There is a general revolutionary suggestion about present fur fashions, especially noticeable in fichu and cap effects, and in broad collars and deep cuffs. Turbang of fur, to match muff and scarf, or jacket trimmings, are also in good style. A fur turban, worn with a fur coat and matching the revers, cuffs and muff, gives a delightfully picturesque finish to a winter coBtume. In selecting: furs, one should bear

in mind that no one fur is universally becoming. Skunk hi quite generally so, and mlnkJRkewise, but the gray and

macs ruin are not tor au races. As a

rule, they are most becoming to

blondes and light-complexioned people.

generally, and to those with gray hair. Very youthful faces always look well above light furs. Women of olive

complexion should always select a fur

with a brownish cast, unless their hair

is of a raven blackness, when a black fur may be worn. White furs are

most becoming to dark- or rosy faces,

the roses of old JackFrost however,

render them wearable by many who

are otherwise pale. A little study of

the possibilities of fur in enhancing

the beauty of the complexion, by contrast il not only interesting, but well worth while, as it enables one to achieve superior effects,

from constant puffing and stuffing and

roughing the lady graciously permits us to coax tbem back to docility by speaking up for the most simple ef

fects possible in hair dressing.

At the same time, she is never deaf to the plaints of the wig-makers, who must go right on making a living, so

that unless nature has given us as

much hair as a Lady Godira most of

us will find that the present styles demand a luxuriance of tresses only to be obtained by the yard. Whereas the hair about the face must be fiuffily guiltless of pads or roughing, the generous knots and twists and coils at the back of the bead require the addition of at least a switch or two.

which Is a charming adaptation of the

peasant halrdress. After the hair is parted and" loosely waved the long strands over the ears are wound about in flat spiral twists, just back of the ears, and the back portion is formed Into a similar twist, or Into a Psyche

knot Sometimes the hair is simply

colled in Irregular strands, brought

well to the front over the ears, and always with the contour of the head

exposed. What is called the Flemish style Is particularly becoming to a round, young face. The hair is parted from the forehead down to the back

of the neck and the two sections are

then braided and colled into circles

that almost cover the sides of the bead. These braids are drawn together in the back, but the long line of parting

is preserved.

Still another variation may be ob

tained by having a fall of curls In

the back with the circle twists at

either side. Although curls and puffs

are little used these days there are manx women to whom nothing is more j

becoming, and in halrdresslog, abort all, a woman should consider becomlngness - rather jthnn style. A stray curl or two resting "on the neck or Just escaping from a cell braid will do much to soften the features. At the 6ame time nothing will Impart that old maid look so successfully as any thing resembling a corkscrew curl too near the face. There is a marked tendency toward higher effects in coiffures and It Is

quite likely that the banished pompa

dour will return again to favor. The Psyche knot placed quite high on the back of the head with a moderate pompadour will be considerably worn this winter. Thus it will be seen that a woman

may dress her hair In any style best

suited to her face and consider her

self quite a la mode If she but maintains a certain simplicity of contour.
