E- THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. ' THURSDAY. -DECEMBER 15. 189a 12 Tcsrafr awwy vi m saga, igPfl9 iBMlf, Astrachan is extremely modish this Bea ton, and in my illustration I set hefore you two'stylisb garments of that fur with high flaring collar and flowing sleeves. Some may prefer to use this popular fur rather as a garniture. In that case you might choose & Louis XXL jacket in gray cloth, em broidered in black, with a pointed vest of the astrachan, astrachan cuffs, flaring collar of the fur rolling over the straight cloth collar, and with muff to match. Another jacket in green velvet had an astrachan plastion. and the velvet fronts were caught across by brandenburgs. There as a flaring collar, the ends of which continued down the front edges of the garment with very fine effect Too Attraction Furs. If all the winter's wear of fashionable furs were to be as evenly distributed over the wearer's person as in the sensible and comfortable jackets described and pictured woman would be well protected from the severest weather. But the season's fashions do not permit her to indulge in the pleas ures of warmth that are in anv way detri mental to the pleasures of style. There fore, we see her in the streets with fur piled high around her neck and, perhaps, reaching down her front to the waist, but leaving the rest of her clad only in clotbas often utterly inadequate to protect against cold weather. The ehort shoulder capes of fur have been displaced, among the women in the van of fashion, by some form or other of the collarette not a boa, but a standing collar and lapel combined, and attached to the dress more or less permanently. The fur boas have given war to the lighter and Jess expensive feather boas. Many styles of the latter can be had very cheaply, and are a handsome addition to a street costnme if chosen with taste. Floeette. Birds Arc Not Fashionable. Young girls have entirely abandoned fringes and there are indications of a return to the Eugenie style of 1853, when the beautiful young Empress was in the zenith of her loveliness. Grey hair is quite fash ionable for ladies over SO. Fortunately, this return to nature has put an end to the red, copper and golden tresses which our dowagers were so partial to a lew years back. Very few flowers are worn in the hair; mostiy little crescents and stars of real or artificial brilliants and pearls. I have lately been in the shop windows some ex ceedingly pretty mother-of-pearl crescents which are charming lor young girls. Every body will be delighted to hear that none but the least fashionable wear birds in their hats or bonnets. This will be welcome news to those flying jewels of South Ameri can 'crests, the "humming birds, which were lapldly disappearing owing to the whole tale massacres of them brought about by an inhuman fashion. For Boots and Shoes. Bags of Tarious shapes and sizes have long been made for storing boots and shoes; they are generally ot brown holland, with perpendicular divisions for each separate pair and a flap falling broadways to cover ciPMS, .

"Ah Cistie, you are not so heartless as tou pretend to be. Yon know that that man's heart is worth a dozen titles, which after all, will never be your own." "I am not sure of that," she answered; "and I'm not going to give up my privileges for any man's absurd jealousy." Indeed, after that conversation, she ap peared to encourage Lord Freeland more than ever. Grey aever mentioned the sub ject, but I could see that the irdh entered into his very soul. He was a proud, sensi tive man, and his cheek seemed to grow thinner and more wan every day. One evening we walked home in a very subdued manner. Cissie had refused to come with us. Lilly Arnott, who played principal boy, had invited her and Lord Philip to sup" at her rooms, and Cissie had accepted the invitation. So Edmund and I returned to onr humble meal alone. Ed mund went to his room and I volunteered to sit up for Cissie. She was very late. I took up my work to beguile the time away. It was in the small hours of the moraine when she re turned home, escorted by her friends, and flushed and excited byachampagne supper. I spoke Tery sharply about her behavior, and said if she was goinc to adopt that sort of habit the sooner we parted company the better. "Here's a row about nothing," she er claimedl "If you don't like sitting up for me, why do it? Kobody asked yon, and I could just as easily have slept at Miss Arnott's. I shall ao so next time." "Well, but it is past 2 o'clock." "Well, I couldn't run off in the middle of supper, could I? And J don't see that it mates a difference to anyone but my self. " "Yon have made Mr. Grey very un hapnv," I said, taking up my candlestick. "Unhappy I EubbUh! "What buslnci if the whole. These receptacles are nailed against the wall and keep the contents well out of tho way and free from dust. At the same time, to tidy minds this Is by no means a neat or ornamental arrangement; also in some rooms empty wall surfaoe may be much limited. A much more satisfaotory boot and shoe enpboard can be improvised out of any old packing case of suitable size. This can be fitted with light matchboard piseon-holes, each holding one pair of shoes. If the lid ii available (the case being stood upon its side) it can be fixed on to a pair of hinges and form a real miniature cupboard, which, being stained and Aspinalled, will also serve as a seat or small table. Without necessarily troubling about having a door the case could be covered with cretonne or chintz, padded on the top with flock and so form a settee; if so, the piece of material which should (ail to cover the pigeon-holes is generally tacked on. to a sheet or card board or has heavy lead bnttons slipped in the hem, so that it may fall firmly and keep the dust away.

However, run off to bed now, Cfssie, for I dan keep my eyes open no longer." She kissed me good night in her .usual fashion, and I had not the heart to repulse her, for I believed her to be simply thought less and nothing more. As sopn as breakfast was over next morn ing I went out and left the lovers to them selves. I thought they would come to an explanation better without me, and being housekeeper for the party, I had a good ex cuse to go marketing. When I returned I lound Cissie alone, flushed and angry, read ing a novel on the sofa. "Where is Edmund?" I asked, cheer fully. "I really don't know," she answered. Dinner time came, bnt he had not ap peared. "Shall we wait for him?" I said. "You can do as you please," replied, Cissie, indifferently. "He knows that we dine at 3." I saw that something had occurred, but it was not the time to question her. After trailing for half an hour, we had our rqeaL It was finished and carried away. Still Ed mund did not join us. "Cissie," I commenced; "have yon and Mr. Grey been quarrelling?" I saw her lip tremble, but she langhed as she replied "What makes you ask that?" "Because he told me he intended speak ing to vou to-day about your behavior with Lord Philip Freeland." "Oh, well; if he told you so far, yon may as well hear the whole story. Yes; he has spoken to me. and in the most impertinent manner. Hedared to question my actions to find fanlt with my friends.

"A supper he is going to give in mv honor at the Crown Hotel. As if I would stay away for any man. But Mr. Grey has the assurance to tell me that it I go he will never speak to me again. Who wants him to speak? Let him go on his way and let me go mine. I could never put" up with auch a prig!" "Cissie, don't go to this supper, I im plore you," I said earnestly. "I know Ed mund's temperament. It may lead to a serious rupture between us." "I don't care where it leads. I intend to Ro." "Ho! no, yon won't You will think better of it You care for him too much to wound him without reason." "I don't care one jot lorfcim," she re turned, defiantly, but her voice shook as she said it Edmund did not come in for his tea, and we walked very sobsrly to the theater to gether. He was there, of course, and went through his work as usual; but I never saw him once at the wings, nor did he raise his mask while in my sight Lord Freeland was more to the fore than ever, and made himself unpleasantly ob trusive, monopolizing all Cissie's attention when off the stage; while she, as if to prove her power and independence, flirted with him more openly than ever. He had bought herabonquet the most magnificent bouquet I haveever seen. The young fool must have paid pounds for it Cissie seemed childishly delighted. "Isn't it lovely?" she said, holding it to my face. "No!" I exclaimed, thrusting it aside. "It is hideous. I should like to trample it nnder foot" "Oh, you cat! you're jealous," she cried, laughing. "You must g;et Mr. Grey to con sole you. You are quite welcome to him, I can assure you." At that moment we had to move aside for the poor ungainly Toad to hop upon the stage, and L knew he had heard her words. When the performance was over, I made a last attempt to turn her from her purpose. "Cissie! come home with me to-night;" I pleaded, as I looked into her dressing room door. "I beg I implore you to do so. Something tells me that if you don't yoa will regret It for evermore." She had divested herself of her stage cos tnme, and her dresser was lacing the back of a white silk dress. In her hand she held I Lord Philip' magnificent flowers. 1 . &i -rj&jtfi sTJ'fc.

"One would think I was going to my destruction. A nice one I should look to draw back now, when the supper has been organized on my behalf. It is useless asking me, tor I shall do no such thing." "Very well," I answered sadly, "you must have your own way, Cissie, but you will repent it" "Go along! you old goose!" Bhe said, laughing, "and go to bed. I shan't be home till i. o'clock. " But her hard laugh had no merriment tin it I walked home' with a heavy heart and alone. I could see Edmund nowhere, and conclnded he had gone beiore me. I felt it was an additional proof of what he was suffering that he should have forgotten to wait for me. When I reached our lodgings the landlady told me he had come in and gone straight to bed. I had lost all appetite lor my supper, and determined to retire also. Cissie had her own key, and I was too angry with her to sit up for her return. I was tired, bnt could not rest. Some spell seemed to keep me waking. I could not drive the thought of Edmund Grey's disappointment from my mind, nor help wondering what effect Cissie's cruelty might have upon him. I heard him moving rest lessly in his room, as though he, too, found it impossible to sleep, and some nervous feeling made me get out of bed again, light mr candle and leave it burning on the mantelshelf. After that I dozed oil for a little whjle, as it seemed to me, but was roused suddenly by a ldud, sharp noise, as if a door was slammed. I sprung up in bed wide awake and trembling, hardly knowing what had happened. Almost simultane ously I heard a knock against my door, and my landlady's voice, entreating me to wake up. "I am awake," I cried, rushin g to the door, "what is the' matter? What has hap pened?" The woman's face was ashen grar with fright ' "Oh, Miss Maitland," she exclaimed, whimpering, 'I'm all of a shakej Didn't you hear the noise, miss? There's some thing wrong in the gentleman's roam. May be he's ill and fallen out of bed. And there's no one in the house but yon and me, Miss, and what are we to do?" v "The gentleman's room!"

Miss, I dursen't for the Jife of me!" "You must! you must!" I dragged her across the landing and up the stairs till we stood at Edmund Grey's door. "Edmund!" I called out, "Mr. Grey! Are you ill? Pray open the door. It is only'l Mary Maitland!" But there was no response. All was silent horrible awful silence! At last I could stand it no loDger. I burt open the door and rushed in. There he lay, poor misguided, heart broken fejlow! prone on the floor dead with a bullet through his brain. How can I describe to you the terror of that discov ery, or the useless, frantic efforts we help less women made to restore him to con sciousness. But he was far beyond all mortal reaob. "Mrs. Rooney," I whispered at last to the scared woman beside me, "you must fetch a doctor at once." "Oh! lor! Miss; here's Miss Stanley. Can't she go?" replied the landlady, and even as she spoke, Cissie, who bad let her self into the house with her latchkey, and had been, attracted by the sound of our voices, stood upon the threshold. If I could have saved her from the suddenness .of the blow, I would, even though it was her fickleness and vanity that were at the bot tom of the calamity. But it was impossible. She had seen all before I saw her. "What is it?" she demanded, in a fearful whisper. "Is is he ill?" "III! my dear!" echoed Mrs. Eooney. "He's dead! He blowed his brains ont with a bullet! And to think it should have happened in my house 1" "Hushl" I cried, but it was too late.

But Cissie Stanley did not forget She continued to play her part in "The Butterfly's Ball," but from the day that Edmund died she used to walk straight off the stage to her dresing-room, and never spoke to anyone. Lord Philip Freeland complained bitterly to me of the alteration in her behavior; but I told him she had lost a dear friend, and wished to be left as much alone as possible. After awhile he disappeared and went home to his friends. But Cissie grew thin ner and paler every day. She did not con fide in me, but I guessed how deeply she was suffering now, when alas! it was too late. When the pantomime had run its course, and onr engagements were over, we parted to different ways she to her mother's house, I to my husband. y"Cissie, dear," I whispered, as I kissed her and said goodby, "I hope you have ceased to fret about that unfortunate affair." .She shook her head.
