The Winter Modes in Furs. ASHIONS In furs havo changed considerably since last winter, but the fortunate possessors of really good skins can have them brought up to date by the leading furriers, although thlB Is never cheap. Furs this winter will bo more magnifi cent than ever not only In actual value, but in the way In which they are treated. The majority of the fur garments pos sess quite a regal appearance, and the furrier of to-day is a genius. I believe 3io could turn a ferret or a weasel into a Iorious creation! Indeed, the in Bignlficant mole is still to the fore, and the squirrel is treated in a variety of novel ways. Tho latter Is a beautiful fur, and it is extraordinary how well It can look in skilful hands. It will be good news to the possessors of sealskin that once more this fur will be very fashionable, especially In the shape of boleros with pelerine collars, and of carriage wraps, mixed with sable. Sealskin always has its price, whether it is In tho fashion or not, but good lurs, good lace, and good jewels are never, really out of fashion. They may vary a little in tho setting, but they are alwaya pleasing to the eye, and the sen sible woman will never part with such glorious possessions. It is, after all. a foolish Individual 'who prefers an in different novelty, which may at any mo ment become vulgarized, to a genuinely Eood article. It Is never tho fault of tho leaders and designers of fashion that we some times discard the genuine for the indif ferent imitation, and to-day the old An Infinite Variety ia Sleeves tjfuviiut was tiiero a season oil Wllfln Rlnnvn mrwinlo oi.n...wi moro diversity; and, though certain general lines are im posed, there is infinite va riety of detail. Tho rIpovo with an immense pouch, dropping above 41 narrow wristband, has practically (lis appeared. The fulness has crept up the arm to tho neighborhood of tho elbow, nnd a decided well or balloon line at this iioint is imperative. Beyond that con struction Is left to dip, fancy of the de signer. The fulness may begin at tho shoulder, l)olng plaited in there and unstayed, or the upper part or tho sleevo may be. comparatively closo fitting and swell into fulness near tho elbow. In a ma jority of instances, oven with the sleeves full from the shoulder, tho effect of a daso cap is given by a pelorlno yoke, a olaso clinging bortha or cape; but this is .not always the case. ' Lingerie frills are the most original f note in -the season's cloth sleeves, and, -.hough they bid fair to be. overdone, ns is over the case with-a mode readily imitated, they are unquestionably charming and-give a most feminine and dainty touch to a dark wool gown. They 'are made of finest. lawn plaited in tiny plaits and aro put in double, one falling well below the other and coming down masters are moro faithfully copied than over. From tho crown of our head to tho solo of our foot wo show much rov erenco for tho glorious workmanship of bygone days. Then In furs and lace we want every thing of tho best. Ermlno and Bable jewels and old point constitute tho ele meats of a really wonderful carriage or opera cloak. Tho shape of these gar ments seems a compromise between the Japaneso sleeve and tho 1S30 pelerine, Tho most beautiful aro those of ful length. One I havo recently seen Is a long cape of sable, made more truly regal by a lining of ormlne, which falls Into a point on to thu irocic at tno back, and dips low down In the front, with a hood of ermine draped across tho shoulders and mlnglei with somo beautiful old Brussels point hold In placo by wonderful old enamel and paste buckles. Tho ermine lining Is turned outwards all down the front to form stoles, and also appears as a trimming on tho quaint Japanese sleeves. Tho price of this capo runs Into four figures, and high ones at that. But it shows how glorlouu a thing real lace and perfect fur may become in skllfu hands, while the shape Is indicative of tho best mode in evening wraps at tho moment. Ermine will bo used both as a lining nnd as a trimming, but not so much on coats or for street wear in general. Sa bio never seems to come amiss on any garment, while a favorito trimming for skating frocks later on will be golden otter or mink. I am told on good au thority that fur edging will be Been on many of tho cloth and velvet frocks This is good news to people who havo had yards and yards of narrow fur trim mings laid by for years. There is a great liking for purple velvet, mixed with ermine, for evening wear. Imitation ermine can bo used to advantage for girls' evening wraps Let mo tell you of one I have seen. Of course, I do not compare It for a moment with the genuine article, but at the same time It was very effective. It was a Ihree-quartor capo In purple velvet, cut with a shawl point at tho back, and a draped hood of imitation ermlno across tho shoulders, mixed with some very pretty imitation Bruges laco and chif fon voile in n paler shade of purple. Tho lining was of tho ermine turned back in front to form double revers. The whole effect was really very good Velvet and panne are often used with fur and some furriers aro using two furs together, inserting one with another; but I do not liko It. For ordinary, smart street wear noth Ing seems to me to take the placo of the neat fur bolero, with its voluminous col lar, and shorter, fuller, cloth walking skirt. In cloth tho new mushroom shade goes admirably with moloakin or squir rel, while brown, In a verioty of shades, is worn with tho brown furs. I havo not seen many fur toques at present. Most of tho toques worn with furs are of velvet to tone, with achenlllo fringe. ELLEN OSMONDE. at least to tho wrist on tho inner seam, with a deeper droop at tho outer seam. In ono form or another the full cloth sleeve with frills appears again and again among tho Imported models. , Evon moro numerous than the1 frilled sleeves are the sleeves with close fitting cuffs reaching almost to tho elbow and great fulneqs above. Here there Is more of room for variety of detail and there aro innumerable ways of trimming tho long cuff. Fanciful sleeves play a mighty part intheoffectlvoness of tho dressy blouses, which are lovelier than ever, despite the otf-repeated cry that the separate blouse is out of style. A full blouse, depending for cachet upon a picturesque and sonm- what exaggerated sleeve and a beauti fully wrought yoite, or yoke and bertha, is a description that will annlv tonlmnne any of tho beautiful blouses in tho fash ion show collection.

Novel Expedient of u HooOilnck Who Wnn of n lroKrcNMlvcTurn of Ml ml. An Italian export In the art of shining shoes has been arrested in Atlantic City for using fox terrier puppies as a part of his polishing kit. Despite his pro test that tho process did not hurt tho dogs, ho was fined, and tho luckless ob jects of his alleged cruelty taken from him, says Collier's Weekly. Strips of flannel aro usually employed to glvo tho finishing gloss of tho perfect "patent leather polish," or "oil shlno," produc ing a scintillating effect pleasing both to tho operator and customer. The Italian artist of Atlantic City, seeking to triumph over competition nnd Im prove on tho routine system of polish ing, seized a now idea and a fox torrior pup, simultaneously. Tho experiment was a success, tho dog survived it, and tho demands of trade necessitated tho employment of several pups. In order to avoid wearing out tho original victim. Tho system involved clutching tho dog firmly by tho neck and hind logs, and drawing him to nnd fro ncross the ex panse of leather. The Italian martyr, In tho conflict between progress and con servatism, said In his defense: "No hurta da pup. Oil In da skin good for da leather, maka da gran shlno. Fine business." THE STEALING OF CATTLE. Moro Than One I.nrKc Outfit of To IJay Got It Stnrt "UumUIiik" Cnlven. Ono source of Immense trouble to tho cattleman has been tho calf thief. Many a largo "outfit" has gone out of business on account of tho "rustler," says Leslie's Monthly. Where cow herders havo to ride tho range for DO or 75 miles they are likely to bo fore stalled In branding a calf by somo vigilant rustler whoso Httlo mountain ranch is near tho usual grazing placo of a bunch of cattlo. Or very possibly tho puncher for tho Big C ranch has caught and branded tho calf with Its proper mark, and when many months later he rides on a yearling branded BOB he has no means of knowing that the owner of tho latter brand has deftly touched up tho 3C with a "run ning iron by tho artistic addition of two strokes and an added letter. It may be stated parenthetically In pass ing that more than ono largo "outfit" of to-day got its start entirely from "rustled" cattlo. In tho moro arid southwest rustling is not so common because most ofc the water is pumped and cattlo get mto tho habit of com ing homo often to drink and can be watched moro closely, but oven there it is a factor of no slight importance. Electric JAkIU nntl SJntfer. Opera singers sing bettor than thev used to, thanks to the electric Unlit. In the past all our theaters, were lighted with gas. Thousands of gas jets going all tho evening exhaust and defile tho air. A singer might bo In excellent voice, but ho could never sing his best In a gas-filled atmo sphere. Tho vitiated air scraped his throat, took away from him all buoy ancy and elasticity of spirit. He sang in a listless way ho didn't bouin to do himself justice. Hath Proven Fatal.

A cable train was soooting down Sl.ito street as fat as the wire rope could drag it. The uripninn was, rattling oil "Hiawatha" on the gong, and just ahead a woman, who was almost as broad as she wa tall, had preempted the track. The gripman re leased the hold on the cable nnd switched from 'Hiawatha" to a break-down jig, but the woman never rtirrcd. Tho next instant the street etir "jumped" tho preempted claim in the street, and 1250 pounds of mighty mad woman Was taking a ride on the fender. The grip man stopped the cable train, leaped over the dashboard of thu car, and expected to Puul a dead woman, Htvt she wasn't dead. Indeed, who was sitting there adjusting her hat. When she caugnt sight of tne grip man she ground her tcc-th together, leaned forward, shook her list at him, and' said: "illamo you. anyhow!" A minute later she was up and away without saying another word. Chicago Inter Ocean, Chenn Excm-nton to the South. On Oct. 20th the Kansas City Southern Ry.
