Fads and Fashions.
NEW YORK. Dec. 1. Winter has
come In earnest and with it
Increased interest in furs. All
the large and fashionable shops
display quantities of furs of every
kind, in sets or
and their fur
working overtime
crowds of women.
Individual pieces
departments are
to satisfy the
anxious to make
their selections before the best bar
gains have- been snapped up. Never
were furs more fashionable than at
the present time, and never did , the
shops display a greater variety of
handsome and attractively madeup furs.
When one considers how greatly a
handsome fur set enhances the pleas
ing effect of a simple serge, cheviot or
English mohair tailor-made ault or to
what extent it emphasises the splendor
of a satin-finished cloth, ottoman or
vnelvet costume, the prevailing eras for
furs Is by no means surprising.
Comparatively few years, ago furs
were black, white, gray or brown and
there were not more than probably half
a doxen kinds or rurs to cnoose irom.
Today It is different. Not only do the
furriers offer the choloe between more
than a score or genuine Kinds or rurs,
hut with vreat lnaenultv they have D re
duced the most deceiving Imitations and
artificial varieties, as novel as they are
attractive. It is really surprising wnat
effects the furriers have been abl to
produce by skilled manipulation of law
grade and cheap furs. One of the latest
achievements la the imitation of pointed
fox by sticking white tips to the long
hair of a common fox (jlr.
The widespread erase for long lines
In feminine garb was promptly noted by
the makers of furs and they were not
slow In adapting their creations to the
prevailing style. One of the most fash
ionable furriers in the United States
had the hapnv Inspiration to return to
the early Victorian style and reproduce
the graceful, long-lined Victorine, which
Is quite simple and yet fulfills ayery
requirement of line - and adaptability
of the present fashion. Tha Victorine
haa been eagerly adopted by the stout
woman, becaoae Jt conceals ner 100
ample curves, and by the slender woman,
because it helps to emphasise the long
drawnout slenderness of line which 1
the aim of every fashionable woman at
the present time.
pony coats are no longer regarded
as correct for street use by th ultra
fashionable set, but they are almost uni
versally worn at the week-end country
house parties and at country clubs as
a wrap to te Biipprq on over m wniie
linen morning frock which tha modish
woman affects for winter garb. They
are dyed black Or in tha natural hrown
tints, and lined with whit aatln or
brocaded silk.
Three pleca fur sets are more than
vr in evidence this wtnter, th hat
having attained unusual Importance
amongst furriers, many of whom em
ploy expert milliners for constructing
attractive - fur headgear. Because of
the softness about the face, there is no
tvpe of winter hat to rival that of fur,
and among these none is more univer
sally popular than the Cleo and toreador
turoans, wnicn rnun 'iwiwi

Tha most popular among the feathers
which are used for decorating; hats this
seaaon is. Just as It always has been..
tne ostricn piurne. u is tne moat neau-
tirui i ann decorative 01 au reamers
and also he most unobjectionable from
a humanitarian point of view, a it Is
ODtainea irom live Diraa wunout causing-
them great pain. . There are sev
eral kinds of ostrich plumes.' Tha one
most universally used for decorating
hat is the beautiful plum with three
Inch flues. It ia quite expensive,- as
large and perfect Specimens are rather
scarce. Then there are the "byocks,"
nlumes resembllnar the kind first men
tioned, but havin" fluea only on on
sld of the stem. This is what is usual
ly called a "plucked plume," although
there la really nothing artificial about
It, they are usually half white and half
brown.
In choosing an ostrich plume, be sure
to see that the stem Is In one, piece,
not made Of aeveral smaller, plumes
sewed or pasted together. It Is in this
that people are so often deceived. On
the plume there should be no pasta or
stitches; the flues. snouia grow natural
ly from tha stem and the stem Itself
s-.ould be strong, yet pliable.
The willow plume, the most expensive
of the ostrich plumes, la a made plume.
The length of th flue la acquired by
tying extra flues to those already on
the stem. That is to say, if you take
an ordinary ostrich plume and cut the
flues from a second plume and tie them
on the flues of the first plume, you will
have a. willow plume. Of course, the
knot must be as inconspicuous as pos
sible, aad only the added ends are
mirlad.
Th chief charm of present day coif
fure fashions lies in the soft fluffy
effect which Is out of the question with.
hair that Is stirr, damp or oily, rnere
for the first essential is to see that
the hair is In a perfectly healthy and
absolutely clean condition. This rule
holds steadfastly whether the arrange
ment be simple or elaborate. ,
To part th hair in the middle Is Just
now th fancy of the Parisian women,
th wave being brought well down over
the face, while the hair la turned ab
ruptly back at the side over two oun
nlngly inserted side pads. . -
A marked feature of th new kirts
is the shifted position of the closing.
They almost Invariably fasten on. the
left side of the back, though the bod
ices continue to close in the center.

Care of the Hair.
COMPARATIVELY few women real
ly understand how to make tha
most of their hair, or how to take
care of It. It wouia oe worm
whil to take a few hints in this line
from their doll-like Japanese sisters,
who. by their skill In caring for their
hair, keep It luxuriant, youthful, and
unblanched far beyond middle life, says

taken should be to trace he trouble

It lit a ratinnal uv instead Of wastin
time and money on cheaply Compounded
tonics and nostrums that ona ia not
assured of, and the us of which may
further Increase the Injury already done.
If the cause should prove to be. th
reflex of a constitutional ailment,, con
sult your family physician and you will
soon observe that with improved phys
ical health your hair will soon respond.
Th condition of deterioration or ab
normal shedding of hair. If occurring
before tne meridian 01 me is passed, is
likely to be ascribed to one or more of
the following causes: Chronlo ill health,
tha over-taxing of the physical powers,
excessive brain work, fever, anxiety,,
grief, lasomnia, continued excitement,
lack of proper rest and recreation, irreg
ular" and hastily eaten meals, abuse of
tobacco, spirits, tea, coffee, and drugs,
all of which slowly undermine tha gen
eral health and seriously affect the
hair.
Th obvious result of any of these
causes with men is Indicated by pre
mature baldness, and with Women It is
denoted, aside from thinning, by lack
of luster, wlriness and early blanching.
It Is at this stage of hair deteriora
tion that most peopde become conscloua
of their impending misfortune, and make
frantic efforts to repair, th damage by
Indiscriminate use of ready made -"hair
restorers" and "tonics" of any and every
kind. Time was when lotiona and oint
ment -were the sole resource of men
or women whose hair gav evidence of
deterioration; all diseases of th scalp,
all hair trouble were treated In the
same manner,- and a hair preparation
whloh may 'have benefited in one case,
entirely failed In others, for the reason,
that tha sea Id circulation waa impaired.
and until the blood circulation could
be restored by other means auch ao-,
called remedies were entirely useless.
In my lone experience I know of but
on preparation which, when especially
compounded and properly applied, will
actual) v nroduce a renewed arowth or
normally pigmented hair.
. Ltoeu or nair is mainiy ana to a aiug
rish condition, or want of active blood
circulation in the scalp.
Properly to ventilate th hair, pro
ceed in the. following manner: Remov
the hair plna and shake the hair down,
letting It hang loosely: Spread the fin-
f ers of each hand and pas them Into

then upward until the finger meet at

eral times, being sure to shake th
hair gently and frequently-half way It

then part the hair into strands, shake

Neglect of this kind once may cause

Care of the Refrigerator.
. Befor cleaning the refrigerator re
move all articles of food to a table or
shelf within easy reach. Have ready in
the stationary tubs or an ordinary wash
tub plenty of hot water, softened with
a dish of household ammonia and good
white soap, which ia freo from odor.
Plunge into this all tha shelves and
movable fixtures, including the tray on
which the ice rests. The ice should
be wrapped in newspaper and set In the
coolest spot available. When the fix
tures are washed set them out in the
sun to air and sweeten.
With the same suds wash the walla
of the refrigerator, rinsing thoroughly
the last few times with cold water.
Bring ip the fixtures, dip them In cld
water, fit them into the refrigerator
remove th.e paper from the ice, return
it to the proper compartment, lay a
newspaper over it and shut the door.
Then, as quickly as possible, return
all food to it proper place and shut
up the refrigerator.
If fooQ is put away carefully In clean
receptacles a refrigerator should not be
cleaned more than-twice a week.

, Silver Wedding Celebration.
1WANT to celebrate our twenty-fifth,
or sliver', wedding anniversary , In
December. . Please make suggestion
for an Informal affair. Give me some
idea of decorations and what and how
to serve. I live in a small town. I
shall lnvit 100 guests. MRS. N. W.
; A sliver wedding may be made a most
charming affair and in the month of
December either silver decorations, or
the-red and green of the Christmas tlmo
may be used.
For place cards one might have silver
bells with the guest's name and the
date of the wedding with the present
date. Silver gray and white ribbons
with greena and white flowers would
make an attractive center piece. Much
can be done with the silver liquid used
the same as eliding. Sandwiches and
a salad with coffee and chocolate, niits
and bonbons wrapped in silver foil,
ices in bell shape and' a wedding cake
would be sufficient. A fruit punch
might he served for drinking the toasts
which are appropriate for this happy
time.
