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.

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.

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!-
