Iand those who have seen a fair Paris-

robes with a cloud of tulle for a hat
will not forget the chic effect of boa
or scarf of ermine or sable wound
about the fair wearer's neck. It gives
just the bizarre touch that completes
her style, gives also an artistic air.
and, as the wearer will tell‘you, keeps
her warm.
These furs are not of course worn
in the sun at midday. They serve as
the wrap between the hotel and the
casino on route to dinner or concert.
A raw day will bring them out. for
they keep the fragile transparenCy oi

ly forlorn look it takes on on such oc-
casions.
\‘I' itll fills summer's fur models come
the capes, wraps and scarfs. The
style point in them is the metallic
gauzes, used either as a foundation or
a lining. One can easily see how cool
these smooth gauzes would seam. and
how decorative they would appear.
In the scarfs, which are Empire in
type—very long, with fringed ends—-
the fur Is restricted to a decorative
outline strip. tn one stunning model
there Is a short strip'of for through
the centre. This, when the wearer

bags made of this silk were among

A pretty idea in bags Is to have them
match the shade of the gloves. Many
of the bags now are made of colors, as
dark blue, banana color or gray. For
dinner parties they are very dainty.

Chair Cushion That Did Not Sag,
A woman writes to the Dallas News:
Upon-entering our living room the
other day. a neighbor exclaimed: Well,
that is the first Morris chair l have
‘yet seen on which
cushion at the back does not sag.
You had better patent that idea; it is
worth while.
There Is nothing extraordinary in
the scheme. Buying about a half yard
of silk cord, the exact color of the up-
holstery, I cut it Info four equal parts
and knotted all'the ends. Two of these
pieces i then fitted around the two cor-
ners on one side of the cushion at the
upper end, whipping them In place
with a strong linen thread. and the
other two pieces I fastened in the
same manner around the corners at
the lower end of the cushion on the
reverse side.
loose on each corner so that it could
be stretched out as a loop that would
pull over the top of the wooden frame
of the chair and hold the cushion Ill

on one side and two on the other'was
to make it possible to turn the pillow
over and use it on both sides. ‘
