Practical Fur Sets.
Fur sets comprising a high choker
collar, with deep cuffs and a small
muff, with perhaps a hat to match, are
one of the new fur styles that are
both practical and very fashionable.
The high standing collar is made of
the same width top and bottom. As it
must muffle the face up to the esar,
it has to be considerably larger than
the neck size, and it is attached to
the coat an inch or so from the neck
edge. It is not boned, so that it falls
in about the neck in folds. The cuffs
are wide, straight bands made so they
can be slipped on like the collar to
any coat or jacket.
All sorts of fur are treated in this
fashion, and the fur is often of two
kinds sewn together in alternating
stripes.

Hang of the Circular Skirt.
The difference between the modem
circular skirt and the one of the early
’90s is that whereas, the older ones
were supposed to hang evenly all
round, which, by the way, they could
never do, today they are expected to
droop at the sides and the natural sag
of the material, bias across the hips,
is accentuated by a curved lower edge.

low taffeta and gray chiffon and the
mingling of these two colors is apt
to be taken up as soon as the new
French gowns come over. It has been
a long time since fashion put gray and
yellow together, and nearly all of these
dance combinations owe their popular-
ity to their introduction in dance
gowns of tulle.
The latter are still very much
liked and the majority of new ones
are built along these lines, some of
them daring the combination of gold
and red tulle.
Although tulle is the word com-
monly used, the fabric in these gowns
is really white silk net. It has really
a strong mesh, perishable, though, as
it looks, and it renders good service
if enough of it is used in one gown.
There must be layers upon layers of
it, and the favorite way of finishing
it is to put a picot edge on each layer.
The expensive part of these silk net
gowns is, that one cannot be sparing
of material. If they have not the ef-
fect of floating clouds, they lose their

linquished his $12,000 a year position
that he may devote all his time to
painting pictures, dabbling in horti-
culture, fishing and playing golf. Mr.
Gower is sixty-one years old and has
been connected with the Rock Island
road 38 years. With Mrs. Gower the
couple have no children—he will make
his home on a small tract of land near
Palm Beach, Fla., says the Business
and Transportation World.
Enjoying the distinction of being
the first railroad officer in Chicago to
voluntarily retire with a pension avail-
able, Mr. Gower will be further dis-
tinguished by dropping all business
and devoting his time to cherished
life-time ambitions in the way of paint-
ing, and other avocations.
Here are some of Mr. Gower’s ideas
of living:
“To me life is worth living, and to
do this or get all there is out of it
one must not lose,his identity. I have
been in the railroad business, prac-
tically all my life, yet I have tried to
retain some individuality. I have not
allowed the railroad to master me.
“I believe some people get passe
by too much working. I have never
worked Sundays, except once in my
life, when I helped defend the com-
pany's, property during the Debs
strike of 1894.
. “I am not rich, but we do not need
much, as we will pursue the simple
life. ,
“Many people do not enjoy play,
Those women who have, perhaps,
put off the buying of a tailored suit
will do well to consider purchasing,
instead, a long coat, as it will answer
the double purpose of suit and wrap.
Of course, judgment must be used
in the selection of such a coat as this.
If a coat which is distinctly a wrap is
purchased, it is then of little or no use
in the morning. On the other hand,
there are models which, though long,
give the trim effect of a suit, yet
answer for afternoon wear also. This
is the better type of coat to choose,
as it will give greater service. Wool
duvetyn or gloveskin would be the
best material for it.
For wear with such a coat, a cloth
or velveteen frock of a tailored char-
acter would be excellent. The color
of this dress could match the color
of the coat or harmonize with it, as
preferred. Smart color combinations
may be obtained by the bindings on
this frock. For instance, in a dress
of dark blue gloveskin to match a
blue coat, the collar, cuffs sash and
pocket openings may be black silk
with the shallow facing at the pockets
and the lining of the collar of silk in
a rose color with the edges of the fac-
ings bound with a straw colored silk.
The same straw colored silk could
bi id the loose armholes and the shal-
Lo vest opening. Or the frock could
be made of green velveteen, with deep
blue silk used instead of the rose color,
and this outlined with yellow. It is
tvch touches as these which give dis-

a ship in distress far out at sea was
sighted, but it was not till February
that the lifeboat rockets signaled
a wreck upon the rocks in the bay.
They launched the boat. Tom, bend-
ing to the oars, saw dimly, through the
blizzard the bulk of a great liner ly-
ing between the • needle-points. The
cold cut him like a razor edge. Me-
chanically he bent his strength to the
oar.
As the boat drew near and tried to
lay alongside, while the breakers
pounded her, a desperate cry of a
multitude fell on their ears. A mighty,
wave had swept the decks of half their
huddled humanity. The waves were
black with bobbing heads, hands
clutched wildly for aid and found
none. . ■
Tom leaped into the sea to where
a woman’s head appeared for a mo-
ment in the suck of a giant wave. He
seized her by the hair and hauled
her to the boat’s edge. Somehow they
got her in. \
Laden to her gunwales' with all
that they had been able to rescue, the
lifeboat made her difficult 'way to-
ward the shore. But when she reached
it at last and the men and fisherwives
who had assembled there looked into
Tom’s face they knew who the well-
dressed strange woman was:
Tom kneeled beside her, chafing her
cold hands. A tress of her hair hung
like a wet wisp over him. Her eyes
were closed, but a faint pulse stirred
in her.
“She will live,” sid the doctor that
night. “But her brain is injured. How
far, I don’t know. It is impossible to
say until she wakes." • •
“Still a fool, Tom?" inquired his fa-
ther. watching his face.
“No, sir," said Tom. .“I know her
for what she is; nothing can wipe
that out."
“She’s asking for you," said the
doctor.
Tom went into the room where
Helen lay. Her eyes were open; aa
Tom drew near she stretched cut
her hands and found his neck end
held him close. ’ .
“I am glad it is so- near—our wed-
ding day," she whispered. “We must
never leave each othr, dearest. ‘ I
shall always be true to you.'
The last four years were wiped from
her mind forever by the shock. And,
as he looked into her eyes, Tom saw
that this was the real Helen—come
back to him forever.

“Before the outbreak of the war,
the Orient express ran over a line
east and west; now it- runs northwest
and southeast. It was made up at
Paris, and its route was Paris-Strass-
burg - Munich - Vienna - Budapest-Bel-
grade-Sofia-Cbnstantinople, while one
of its sections went to Bucharest. The
Orient express, probably, ran through
more important capitals, eight of
them, and bore a more truly interna-
tional character than* any other train
in the world. The stations of this
famous train were marked by the na-

years—
The banker’s face grew purple. “You
impudent rascal," he said. “Get out
of my house!"
“I shall wait on the doorstep till I
see Helen," said Tom.
The banker glared at him and left
the room. A quarter of an hour later
he returned with a stylishly dressed
young woman, who looked at Tom as
if ne were hardly a human being.
But it was Helen. Tom hardly heard
her scathing words, he only knew that
his pride was crushed. Her ringing
laughter dismissed him. He stumbled
from the room.
The next day he entered his fa-
ther’s house. The old man, hardly
changed, looked up and nodded,
“I recognize you, son,” he said.
“Still a fool, I reckon. . Still hanker-
ing after that girl. I warned ye.
I told ye."
“Yes, I was a fool," said Tom. “I’ve
come back to get a job with the
boats."
“If that’s all you’re worth,” said the
old man, “you’d best have stayed
where you was.” 5
The panic year wiped out many
fortunes, and loudest was the crash
of the Henry chain of banks. In a
day the banker was a ruined outcast,
and the next week a suicide. The
house was sold: The papers contained
strange stories of Helen’s discovery
upon the island, and reporters came
and pestered Tom. But nobody knew
anything of the girl.
“Still a fool, Tom?” His father
asked one day, as the young man sat
brooding over'his nets.
“I reckon so,” said Tom.
“You’ve given the best years of
your youth to a worthless woman,”
said his father. “Now is the time to
look for another."
Tom did not answer. His spirit
seemed broken. All the neighbors
thought that. He seemed to take no
interest in life. Gradually they ac-
cepted him as one of themselves

All through the winter we have
worshiped at the shrine of chiffon
gowns. They have proved to be a
successful part of our wardrobe; we
have danced and dined in them and
worn them under warm coats in the
street. We have found that their
wearing qualities are much better
than we thought and, probably be-
cause we like them, the dressmakers
will insist upon our wearing them in
the spring.
Some of the white chiffon collars
are in deep sailor shapes, with cuffs
that extend nearly to the elbows.
They are hemstitched, but not em-
broidered. Cheruit has a trick of us-
ing hoodlike collars of white chiffon
on gowns of colored chiffon, especially
in a combination of white and gray
or beige and white. A black chiffon
gown merely tucked and hemstitched
with collar and cuffs of white chiffon,
is one of the best combinations of the
season.

“You are acting foolishly, Tom,"
said Jim Holloran to his son. “You
know very well that the girl’s a waif
and stray. If you marry her you’ll
come to regret it."
“She’s as good as anyone else
around Hhgez," answered Holloran in-
dignantly*4 .
His father’s opinion was, in a se-
verer form, than the fisherfolks on
Clark island. Seventeen years before
a ship had gone to pieces on the rocks
in the bay. When the lifeboat men
clambered aboard they found a dying
woman clutching a puny infant to her
"oreast. The child was a girl; brought
ashore, it grew into a comely young
woman. The kindly fisherfolks who
reared her christened her Helen Clark.
That was as far as their imagina-
tion could run. Helen and Tom, the
son of her foster parents’ neighbor,
had always been sweethearts. The
young fisherman and the girl were en-
gaged to be married soon.
The idea was, not that the girl was
unworthy of Tom, but that some day
she would be claimed.
In those days the attention of the
nation had been absorbed by the
Spanish war. The wreek had re-
ceived but passing notice. There had
because they make work of it. I
never make a business of my pleas-
ures. I like to paint, water colors from
sketches of rambles through the coun-
try.
* “A friend once asked me why I did
not take painting lessons. I told him
that if I took lessons that I would be-
gin to study technique, and the minute
I did that I would make work of my
painting and the minute it became
work it would cease to be pleasure.”

simple as serge and will serve for
the same occasion.
There is a new evening frock
which shows a combination of yel-

child—fishermen. It was a little coast-
ing steamer. Why should Helen’s
mother have taken passage aboard

chiffon is substituted for satin as an
underslip.
There is another smart evening
gown of white net which is slightly
trimmed with fur and touched off
with a jeweled bodice. There is a
strong rivalry in evening gowns be-
tween the bodice of jeweled net or
bullion lace which goes straight un-
der the arms and the rather, prim
little bodice that matches the skirt and
goes over the shoulders. The latter
is especially well carried out in frocks
of pink and blue taffeta.

“I’ve had a good common school ed-

The president was interested. “But

urged.. “You’ll have’TO . go there, or,
since you’re too old, you'll have to

Tom shook his head. “I’ll try. I’ve
got four years,” he said.

dear,” answered the girl.
Two weeks before the marriage the
man with the domineering face ap-
; peared. The older folks recognized
him from the photograph Helen had
kept. Silently they followed him to
the house where the girl lived.
The story that he unfolded was a
strange one, but bore the mark of
truth. He had quarreled with his
wife, 17 years'before. She had left
him, and he had never associated her
, with the wreck. There was no rea-
son why he should have -done so. He
had tried to trace her and the child
for years, but had only received a
clue from a summer visitor to the
island, who had seen the photograph
the year before, and heard the roman-
tic story. He wanted Helen to be
his daughter in his old age.
He frowned angrily when he learned
of the approaching marriage.
“Nonsense!” he said angrily. “My
daughter is going to school. She is
•destined for higher things than to
become the bride of a fisherman. I
aam her guardian, and I refuse my per-
mission.”
Everybody was against Tom Hollo-
Tan. They showed him his selfish-
ness, they proved that he could never
marry the girl until she was her own
mistress. Finally the magnate, Jo-
seph Henry, proposed, half humorous-
ly, a compromise.
“She shall stay with me for four
years, till she attains her majority,”
he said. “If she wants to marry you
then, she shall.”
Tom was forced to accept the con-
ditions. He kissed Helen as she
clung to him.
“I shall never forget. I shall never
forget!" she sobbed as they said good-
by.
When the father and girl were gone
/Tom Holloran sat looking at his fa-
Tcher across the hearth.
“I told you you were a fool, Tom,”
said the old man frankly. "What
chance have you got with a girl like
that? Why, four years will blot out
all her memories of this life. She
ain’t for the likes of you.”
“We’ll see," said Tom slowly, and
left the room.
He had saved $300 toward the fur-
nishing of their home and purchase
of a share in a boat. The same night
he disappeared from Clark island.
Three days later he appeared at a
small university and asked to see
the president. He told him his story.
