And she flew to answer it,

“Why--" stammered Susie,

IERE are four kinds of
Christmas holly, two of
which are not in reality a
true holly, First, native American
holly, grown along the eastern
and southern Atlantic coast from
Cape Cod to Texas for about 50
to 100 miles inland. Eu-
ropean holly (more and
larger leafed), grown in Oregon
for Christmas decoration. Third,
California holly; this is not a
true holly, California holly Is
known as toyon or Christmas
berry, The leaves are nearer
the mountain laurel, and
plant Is grown along the
of California and In the
foothills. Fourth, Oregon holly,
or Oregon grape; the leaf is
similar to the true holly, but it

barberry.

Fur Trimmings on Coat
Add Note of Distinction
Fur trimmings on coats are the rule
rather than the exception this season,
and the use of fur is marked by dis
cretion and restraint. Even In
stances where it is employed with a
most lavish hand the effect is always
distinguished and in perfect taste, On
the other hand, for those who prefer
to wear a separate neckplece, there
are any number of models devold of
fur. They attract attention by reason
of thelr skiliful cut and meticulous
finish,
Stitching, usually of the same tone,
