ALL FURS IMITATED IN CLOTH MATERIALS The old trutam that Imitation ib the Bincerest form of flattery should be appreciated by the whole anlmrU world at the present moment, for never nev-er before have furs been any more systematically and carefully Imitated by the cloth manufacturers. Nor do the shops show any signs of emptying empty-ing of their almost superabundance of materials which simulate fur in the f- richest and mot satisfactory fashion. Practically every fur cloth is being reproduced representing all kinds and varieties of fur. Sealskin Persian lamb, chinchilla, caracul, moleskin and even civet cat flna tnelr way into stunning outer garments and even Into In-to tailored suits. And this hollda time their output apparently has been doubled; the sudden cold, coming af U ter bo , many comparatively mild ' weeks, greatly Increasing their gener al demand Tailored suits of these fur cloths are usually made up in the three-quarter three-quarter length, though there are worn en who Incline decidedly to the shorter short-er coats. In fact, some women insist in-sist or. their coats being so short that there is even- reason to fear the coat may soon disappear into the col-HP col-HP lar and cease to figure as a substan tial affair at all One thing about these short coats is that they are difficult for the av-j av-j erage woman to wear, especially wnen they are made up in the heavj imlta tion fur cloths. Some of them, so short that they might well be desrnn ed as a bolero scarf or a shoulder cape, give to the modern silhouette a peculiarly disprciportloned appear ance Only a ouOg girl or a woman wom-an with a straight and extremely bllm flfrure can dream of wearing the ex aggeratedlv short Jacket. She had much better confine herself to the conventional and modish three-quarter m length and be quite convinced that ,L she is attracting no attention becaube of the unbecomlngness of her altlre Hats are being shown made up of these fur cloths One stunning hat Sof Persian lamb cloth, and trimmed with black lynx and paradise plumes, was 6hown here recently by one of the ultra exclusive shops and widely imitated by the cheaper concerns Speaking of millinery trimmings, a number of substitutes have already been created which threaten to have considerable vogue this coming spring. One particularly effecthe one is called algrettlne, and is made ijg from hair which has been treated at ter a chemical fashion. It comes in most of the vivid new colors, but is especially attractive In black and white This combination of black sad white 6hows no signs of any dl-mtnlshlng dl-mtnlshlng popularity, and already! spring predictions are to the effect that it will be more widely U6ed than has been the case this winter. l 1 DO NOT BE AN IMITATOR. By Imitation 1b meant the obvious efforts of one individual to assume &a the same manners and customs as are individualized by another In offer ing a warning against this practice of imitating people it is important to Uf say at once that one should not cease l close observation of other people lest fee this practice should result In Involuntary Invol-untary imitation. f But if a woman pa 6ees in another woman traits of char (C I acter, grace of mcnenient, or a chann H t Ing manner which calls for admlra-j(t admlra-j(t tion, she should certainly think over i ft a theae things She would not be wise, ;4 however to make an immediate attempt at-tempt to assume the same manners or ape the same grace. For this can ajtf never be done without an effort; and 4P no matter how studied this effort may grfi be. it will always bo apparent The principal argument against inn -Ei tation 16 found In the fact that what -1 may sem charming in one person ; would be regarded as bare affectation 9 I Jn another. Then, again, it is not g logical to suppose that one can change Jjyi thn habits of a lifetime and asbume "L- a new coat of manners, so to speak every time an Individual of dlstlnc-' dlstlnc-' J tion Is met with The habit of observing and storing away In your mind all that Is best in the people you meet is. however, a most beneficial one. To think over , BeriouBlv what Is charming In othcre is uncoDBciouBly to develop within ourselves a composite of ideas that will involuntarily be worked out. If wo see the best In people we can only work out tne best In our-' our-' selves. And the contrary Is also J? true, for If we dwell constantly upon the BhortcomlnKs of others, so too i.5 will the same handicaps upon personal person-al al charm be apparent In us to ihosj sS1 , who observe us. Remember: To constantly imitate others is a confession of inferiority to others, and there can be no full development of natural charm in the person who makes such a confession. CHICKEN CAKE.
