fifl GOODWIN'S WEEKLY 9 lH FURS AND PUR TRIMMINGS ARE ABUNDANT. NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 1918 In the face of the most critical interna tional conditions, the fashion world is j carrying on as usual. News comes iL from Paris that amidst the bombard " ment by shells, the modistes and cou turiers continue their work and are yielding a tremendous output to the eager watchful throngs. What a wonderful spirit is this! And who else could swallow all the sor rows and trials and discomforts of war and still remain smiling on the sur face? No other than France. Much indeed does civilization owe to this country of countries. Think of thd . frightful conditions, conditions that - W would make one give up and despair, but these people merely smile and iZ- prosecute their plans, as near normal llf as possible. I L Less and less fabrics of wool are f?V- seen in the new models. This is the inevitable outcome of the usage by the armies of all wool supply available The prices are enormous and at the present time a smart luxurious coat is quite as expensive as a fur one. Owing to this fact, many women 111 possess a fur coat this winter, for they reason that a cloth one is almost as expensive, and fur always looks so much more elegant. Indeed, the acme of smartness and exclusiveness looks v as though it might be a combination of cloth and fur. As a result of the extreme demand for fur, designers in that trade have offered many new and attractive de signs in odd and different combina tions. The most popular combination Is Qf seal, dyed muskrat and squirrel. These pelts seem to lend to each ,, other all their individual qualities of softness and charm. Nutria is in big demand because of its excellent wear ing qualities. Mole, of course, is beautiful, but that is left for those who may consider the appearance In preference to the durability. Sometimes it is on the bottom of the skirt, sometimes hugging the neck, and then again it will attach itself to a- the end of a tunic or perch at the top of a pocket. Wherever it is, it is there. One must be swathed in fur if one wishes to be placed under the " classification of smartness. Bewitch- lng indeed was the seal-trimmed suit !y of silk duvetyn which assumed the line of the peg-top, and challenged any straight-lined suit which claimed to be more graceful. In many Instances these little coatees, that are so popular in fur, have been copied in cloth. The flapper is always a disturbing creature to dress. So much care must be expended that she look graceful, 9 instead of awkward, and smart, In M stead of "frumpy." But with the proper oloths this all disappears and, just as this little girl, any little girl will have all the assurance that comes with the consciousness of being well dressed.' WHILE THE GATE IS AJAR. Pull back the curtain, Hand of Fate, Tell me the horrors of war are un true; Show me a picture compassionate, Peaceful hills and a sky of blue, A robin's song in the morning dew, A world of turmoil all divest, FloldB of grain, and the ruddy hue Of the setting sun in the Golden West. Tell to me that the tongue of hate Is only a rumor devoid of clue; That a battlement there is a pasture gate, ' Which stands ajar as the years slip through. Or the scream of Bhell is a soothing coo Of the dove of peace in a hidden dell, That a "trench" is only an avenue Where the wheels of time plow deep and well Tell to me that the roar of guns Are only the echoes of Waterloo; That the savage, butchering, fiendish Huns Are the dead, dead years of a ghost's eschew Has my brain been roiled by the quaff of a brew? Did a brother of mine march off to fight? Then I must know that indeed 'tis true There's an empty cot in our home tonight. It is an interesting question wheth er the many new methods of efficiency would have been practiced and the numerous labor saving devices used had it not been for the war. Neces sity is said to be the mother of in vention and surely necessity it was which brought the tractor into such prominent use on the American farm. One man and a tractor have taken the place of the much written about one man and a mule. With, all due re spect to the "farmerettes," it was the tractor which saved the crops of the country this past season. And the pleasing part of the tractors is that their uses seem almost endless. On the Pacific coast, one model not only plows and harrows the sugar beet fields, but also pulls the beets when they are ready. What more could any farmer want. Mere men and teame will soon, it Is feared, be removed to the less important place to make way for this all-important piece of farm machinery. A LITTLE OF BOTH. Aunt Nancy was visiting an army camp and as she approached some rookies were sitting on their heels and then- rising to a standing position in perfect unison. "What are the boys doing now?" she asked. "Why, those are the setting-up exer cises," explained an obliging Bergeant. "Humph," remarked auntie. "Looks to me more like settin' down exer cises." Indianapolis Star. Just twenty years ago. 1 Our scrapbook yields this bit of in formation: Twenty years ago today ladles wore bustles; operations were rare; nobody swatted the fly; nobody had appendicitis ; there was no danc ing allowed at open-air band concerts ; nobody wore white shoes; cream was five cents a pint; a square meal could be bought for "two bits"; can taloupes were muskmelons; you nev er heard of a "tin Lizzie"; doctors wanted to see your tongue (not ex amine your pockotbook first and pulse afterward; milk shake was a favorite drink; nobody cared for the price of gasolene; the hired girl drew two dollars a week; women stayed at home and took care of their children properly; the butcher "threw in" a chunk of liver; nobody "listened in" on a telephone (they weren't that kind in .those good old days) ; and one can lengthen out this list as they will. 1 President Wilson 1b fond of telling a story about an old teamster. This old fellow said to the treasurer of the concern one day: "Me and that offrhorse has. been working for the company seventeen years, sir." "Just so, Winterbottom, just so," said the treasurer, and he cleared his throat and added: "Both treated well, I hope?" The old teamster looked dubious. "Well," he said, "we was both took en down sick last month and they got a doctor for the boss, while they docked my pay." "May I ask how old you are?" said the vacationist to the old villager. "I be just a hundred." "Really? Well, I doubt if you'll see another hundred years," said the other, trying to make conversation. "Wall, I don't know so much about that," was the ready response. "I be stronger now than when I started on the first hundred." j . HIS IDEAL. It was a case where love was freely given. Perhaps the finely chiseled features stirred his enthusiasm or a certain statuesqueness of form it was that set him all aglow. Perhaps it was the exquisite taste in dress re vealed or an elegance of manner that could not be exactly translated Into words. Whatever it was, he was tre mendously fired by what he saw and a smile of satisfaction appeared upon his countenance when the vision beamed upon him. Figuratively, he hugged the attractive creature to his bosom and he felt that the world was indeed a pleasant place to live in. With such charms and graces to in spire him he could move mountains and accomplish that which would bring him eternal fame and glory. The woman? None. It could be plainly seen as the young man gazed at his reflection in the mirror that he was profoundly enamored of himself!- The Egoist. h A Supreme Court Hj Justice Said H In appointing: a Trust com- t'l pany aa co-exocutor of an lm- 'iH portant estate, "The practice il seems to bo now uniform iH among men of large prop- jf ertles to designate a Trust jl company as one of their ex- IH The service of this Trust H company is well adapted to 'H this Important duty.
