Furs Worn hy Tarisiennes.
Lace. Embroidery and Passementerie Adorn Russian Sa.ble and
Ermine— Japanese Sleeves on Long Garments Are "Out."
Paris. December 12.
At a recent conference on Old Versailles,
given in the Salle Femina, by the Count de
rr -.-sjuiou. the apostle of culture, the toilets
of the women who sat before him hanging on
his utterances had all the extravagance, all the
elegance, of the splendid court days of that
picturesque period. Many of them might have
been copied from the portraits of the celebrated
beauties hanging now on the walls of the old
palace. Trailing skirts of softest fabrics, tight
ly swathed unpetticoated limbs and furs of
royal richness drooped heavily from graceful
shoulders. In spite of the natural richness of
the furs — Russian sable, chinchilla and ermine
—that were shaped into all manner of garments,
they were loaded with ornamentation — lace, em
fcrolfiery and silken passementerie.
A lovely young French duchess were a beauti
ful garment of filet lace, hung over mousseline
de sole, made heavy with threading of faintly
colored silks. It hung three-quarters long, In
etralght panels, split to the waist line in the
back And on the sides; the wide open sleeves
nere in three tiers, each one hemmed with a
three-Inch band of sable fur Inside the sleeves
were gathered lace frills, and down each side
cf the front fell wider lace in pretty jabot folds.
"Where these began, at the top. were posed two
large silk and velvet roses.
Quieter, but not less chic, was a long garment
cf gray cloth, elaborately trimmed with em
broidery of pray silk and bands of chinchilla fur.
The sleeves were gathered fall into the arm
holes, and again into wide loose cuffs, and hung
In lace flounces over the hands. A little fiat
collar of chinchilla fur ended just above the
bust under a fall of lace. As it was thrown over
th» back of the seat, the pretty lining revealed
itself all shirred gray chiffon over another lin
ing of rose colored chiffon. These fairylike
tissues-, that are a fad of the winter for linings
us well as for gowns, ar*. reminiscent of the
days of the Empire and of the Direeioire. The
vomen of those days declared they were warmer
than flannel. The gown worn under this charm
tag mantle was of gray — the palest possible —
Candy Is Harm less.
Uncle Sam's Purr Food Expert Says
Xonc Is Deadly Polsnn.
[From Th« Tribune Bureau.]
Washington, Dec. 21. —Let children throw their
caps in the air and whet their holiday appetites,
let confectioners rub their sugar-coated fingers and
ensile most covetously: let mothers throw away
the covers cf candy boxes and fathers delve deep
Into trousers pockets. Science has spoken, and
Santa Clau? found a reputable and 'strong ally in
the person of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, Uncle Sam's
chief pure food expert.
"Poisoned candy" he repudiates: its ghastly and
unfounded pretensions have been exposed ; it has
been analyzed and found harmless and lacking in
those sickening and deadly qualities which have
been attributed to it. The sting: of calumny has
been removed by th« authoritative statement of
the great organiser of "poison squads." and he
•—- glad to defend the pweets of his youth—
from the succulent Flick candy to the black jack
and the chocolate drop.
Dr. Wiley cays that he was once a boy, not so
long ego. and some of his friends insist that he is
et:!l a boy. The fresh memory of that past has
Inspired him to befriend the little chaps who enjoy
thtir "French mixed " us well as i.»_- cm. He jea.vt.s
no excuse for mothers to refuse to stock the
Christmas tree with confections and he drives
into the attic all insinuations of "Poison," "Make
baby sick" and the bugaboo of castor oil.
"This talk of poisoned candy is for the most
part exaggerated." £«iid Dr. Wiley to-day. "In
the first place "poisoned candy" is a misnomer.

crepe de chine. The close Bkirt was striped
v.ith ?ray lace; the bodice, entirely of lace, had
half long, full sleeves of the crepe over close
aoea of the gray lace. Topping this was the
od->st. smartest hat: true Louis XVIII in form.
It was covered smoothly with black satin, a
twist of gold braid surrounded the crown, and,
on one sid? swept a long white ostrich feather.
A third garment noted was of pale turquoise
Mac velvet. Passing over the shoulders from
front hero to neck and descending: in a straight
line in the back wore band? of filet lace, em
broidered in the same tone, transparent over
white satin. These bands were edged with fur.
Another band of filet hung low over the shoul
ders, one edge hidden under a band of velvet.
Xo tar appeared on this The front edges of
the garment showed a lace Jabot falling in wide
folds to the hern.
[t will be noted that none of these garments
of latest design shows any hint of the Japanese
slf-^ve. Also that the most novel feature is the
boe fr!'.:i"s on the front? and on the sleeves.
The sleeves are gathered loosely into large arm
holes, and the Joining is usually covered by
bands "r tnmminrrs that give an extremely long
and wide shouldered etfed
BELL SHAPED HATS.
Of a fetching simplicity was a garment of
ruby colored cloth, cleverly draped over a little
yoke of ruby velvet covered with soutache em
broidery. The burnoos e fold fell low in the back,
weighted by two heavy silk tassels. It was
worn over a gown of a lighter shade of silk
voile, hemmed widely on the close wrinkling
skirt, with ruby velvet.
The bell shaped hat that completed the cos
tume was of gray moire silk trimmed with red
velvet flowers and a long gray ostrich plume.
I: is true that Dame Fashion Is departing a
little from the bell shaped hat. To be preferred
at the moment is the shape with the brim slight
ly lifted Into a Graceful movement, far more be
cp:i;ins. generally, than the drooping shape ail
mired so long. For winter mornings are tho
large toques of fur. of massive velvet folds, co
qnettishly pricked on one aide by a tall aigrette.
These are the smart accompaniment to tailored
costumes. The large hat is demanded for dressy
W\- m s X £&**>££& is r~ j
I have never yet eaten any candy that was deadly
poison. 1 will go further than that and say that
1 have never seen any candy that was deadly
poison or even poisonous to a degree that might
be feared. There Is such a thine as overeating,
and this human frailty sometimes extends to
candy eating with tne same dire effects that fol
low a gourmandizing of plain bread and butter. One
who cats too mud) candy suiters, and an eater of
candy should remember that it is not bread and
butter,' and cannot be eaten in such large quan
tities.
"One port of confectionery there is which should
be watched closely, however, and that Is the
colored candy which Is shaded by products of coal
tax. and which if taken in large quantities will
probably have a temporarily Injurious effect. The
latest thing to eat is known as the pure white
candy on which no attempt at elaborate beauty
BBS been made. The molasses candy 's whole
some, the chocolate drop purr, and all those, candles
made without the brilliant hued coal tar products
are perfectly safe."
Dr. WDejr sraa atkrrl how U.e pure food law
affected tbe sale of impure candy. "We can only
prohibit the transportation of impure candy from
one Ftate to another," he answered, "and most of
the candy that is transported in pore. The high
grade candy which is shvi'd from one state to
• r is generally ap to the standard, and so is
the very c!»eap candy which is Flapped In br.xes
tind barrels. But the candy that most people
eat, the local product, made and consumed in one
town or in one f-taio, is the ?ort we do not inspect.
The lnFptcturs have stopped a great deal of impure
imported candy from beir.g sold, and in this way
has almost put a step to its importation into this
country."
THIS PAGE TRAVELS FAR.
Thoughts and Suggestions of Our little Men
and Little Women Widely Published.
Dear Little Men and Little Women: The other day
I received a colored postcard from Wembley, Eng
land. The person who sent it said that he was
pleased to see my idea of the spectacle wiper in
The Tribune, and hoped that I would have a happy
Christmas. It was signed "G. S. Parker." I have
no idea who the person Is, but that shows you how
far the Little Men and Little Women's Page travels.
Here, also, is another incident. Last week I was
looking at a taper that came from San Francisco.
On one of the pages printed for boys and girls I saw
a short story called "Bobs, a Smart Dog.'-' I read it
over, and found it to be one of the very stories
taken from Our Letter Box in The Tribune. It was
signed "Tribune." That also shows that the Little
Men and Little Women's Page is read by many
thousands of people. Your faithful reader,

plumes; the under side of the wide, uplifted brim
is lined with rose satin.
The voluminous white lawn and mull jabots
that have been so much in evidence for several

narrow black velvet or moire ribbon tied in a
tisht little bow in front- Blouses of gro tullt,
plain or embroidered, or of heavy mousseline de
scie. are greatly liked for wear with tailored
gowns, and always they must be of the Tsme
color as the costume.
A woman who came into the room late the
morning of the- Moi;tesquiou conference, mad** a
pretty picture as she hesitated a moment be
fore passing to her seat in her costume of dark
blue velvet. The skirt trailed a bit and wrin
kled across the front breadth in the popular
fashion — popular, but not in the least common.
The little coat had close fitting backs and loose,
rounded fronts. These fell wide open and far
apart, to show the waistcoat of crossing fouls
of white satin. Cuffs and revers to the coat were
of black satin covered with silver lace. A lit
tle bow of black velvet was set at the ha™ o"
the collar, above a tiny fall of lace.
COSTUMES OF CAEACUL.
Somewhat similar in form was a coat of ruby
velvet worn over a skirt of white cloth. Fur
entered largely into the decoration of this cos
tume. The cpat turned back with it. and there
were fur cuffs. A broad band of fur hemmed
the long skirt; there was a huge muff that
dripped many tails, and a big fur toque topped
all. An odd waistcoat of silver cloth lapped
diagonally to one side, closing under one large
ornamental button.
Caracul, dyed any shade desired, but generally
in gray and brown tones, is the expensiv. fad
of the moment. Of this pretty fur whole cos
tumes are composed; others are lavishly
adorned with it.
Quit*.- enviable was a costume of gray caracul
and velvet. The skirt hung in a little pointeJ
train, and was the tightest of tho tight in its
wrinkling front folds— so tight that the wearer
was obliged to take little mincing steps, inde
scribably funny to a sane observer. There was.
however, nothing "funny" in the appearance of
the littie coat of caracul. It was short waisted
in the back, with the nicely controlled fulness
set into a t'ny space under an old silver buckle.
Great flat buttons of old silver were set on each
side of the open, rounded fronts, and smaller
ones enhanct d the chic of the softly cr
folds of white satin thai formed the waistcoat.
She carried a muff decid* rHy novel in form —
like a larpe square doubled over once; the
opening was filled with thickly set lace frills
that only permitted glimpses of themselves. A
bunuh of artificial flowers was pinned on one
side.
Another novelty of the winter is the use of
fine old cashmere shawls in tho lining of fur
garment.-.

GLEANINGS.
The Boston School Board has rescinded the
rule abolishing first assistants ia Boston schools
and providing that in every school, e>-en those
for girls only, a man must be appointed as sub
master. The reason for this ruling may not be
evident at first sight to those unacquainted wftt
the facts, but in reality it is of great moment.
The first assistants were women, and when a
man principal died or was removed for any
reason the first assistant was his logical suc
cessor. When a woman had been mad© master
"of the Hancock school, partly because of her
fitness and partly because she stood next in
line of promotion, tbe school board woke up.
and by the rule now abolished so arranged
things that a man would always have to sta:'d
next in line for promotion, even in girls 1 schools.
If Japan keeps track of what goes on in Chicago,
that country must feel that it is getting a little bit
of balm for any slights It may have received at the
hands of the American school authorises.
President Otto C. Schneider of the Chicago
School l'ourd wants to have the Japanese imperial
rescript on education adopted as the standard of
ethical teaching in the Chicago public schools.
It certainly would do American boys and girls
no harm to have some of the admonitions of this re
script drilled Into their hearts aad heads. The re
script was issued some thirty years ago by the
Emperor of Japan, and has been used as a formula
for moral teaching In the schools of that country
ever sin^-e. Among ot!i r excellent matters it en
joins the young to be filial to their parents, af
fectionate to thoir brothers and sl.sters and true
to their friends. They should, it says, bear them
selves In modesty and moderation and extend their
benevolence to all. They should pursue learning
and cultivate the arts, aad thereby develop their
intellectual faculties and perfect their moral
powers, arul also advance the public good and
promote common bit erects. They should respect
tbe ( . titution always and preserve the laws, and
offer themselves courageously to tho st.at<» when
emergencies ari?r. "As husbands and wives be
harmonious," i» another piece of advice In tin- re
script which It woiild not be a bud idoa to hammer
!::! i t!;e ci-.lnir matrimonial timber of the United
States. But President Scbneider would have to
chip off the end of the iCßCllpt. which r<^;id. u :
"and fbus guard and maintain the prosperity of
our Imperial throne, coeval with heaven and
earth."
The Massachusetts Society tor tho Prevention
r.f Cruelty to Animals l:ns offered a wise <>r SlO
for • vhlcnce to convict any person of abandon
ing a cat, and hundreds of copies of the offer
have been posted up in various towns of that
sta.te. It is hardly likely that the reward will
be claimed by many people, unless some boys
here and there see :;i II ■ means of making
money. As ■ role peopl are too bury forging
ahead In tli<"- race of life to give any atten*i"r. to
so small a matter as the abandonment of a cat.
Or if the cat was abandontd by some one they
know, and they hate to report an acquaintance
— it might make trouble! Still, if only a vavj
few arrests and convictions result from the hu
mane society's offer good will come of it. One
conviction might make a wholesome object les
son for those cruelly carelass people who leave
the cat behind, as if it were a piece of junk with
no feeling, when they move.

I MY WHITE RATS.
Dear Ltttk Ma ar.J Little Women: I have a
very Interesting story to tell you. It is about two
white rats I had given me by a cousin. They took
a journey of about one and a half hours on the
cars on a very warm day in a small box. When
they reached my home I found cne had nearly
smother-id to death, and it died Within a few
hours. We thought tUe other one would die of
grief but sh- was not long alone, for she soon
had a family of five babies. As soon as they were
old enough to play we put some bars in the cage
for them to climb on. They were very tarn«?. and
we carried them in nur pockets and up our sleeves.
; and the girls said they would bt all right if they
\ had their tails wound with ribbon and tied In a
i bi? bow. They are e>=peelaly fond of milk an.J
' chocolate cakt^ and will eat m;st anything but
Af t' r a. while we got tired of them, and
I we save them away to some oth;-r boys. Yours
