Where Lillian, the baby, slept. Softly the father stopped to lay file rough hand down in a loving way, When dream or whisper made her stir, And huskily he said: "Not her!" for the making of each robe. If a prince of the blood found his reception robe a bit frayed around the edges he prepared a stately document for the court tailor, whose business it was to search through the fashion archives to excite it. When within five or six for the design, cut and color of the yards, shoot the aminal just back of. the head, so the bullet cuts the. spine. This instantly paralyzes it so it can- not_ eject its smell. R•enaeni1 er, that holes in the body of a pelt damage it for manufacturing purposes, so try to have the bullets come out under the jaw or in the throat. However, if some of the smell docs get on you or the skins, it may be removed by a thorough washing in gasoline. It is safest to do this out- doors, to avoid danger from fire. You will get into difficulties if you forget that the scent glands lie at the root of the tail. I have always found it best to skin around these glands, leav- ing a small patch of fur. Pelts so removed bring full value, and are much more pleasant to handle than smelly ones. - Skunk and civet cat begin to shed very early in the spring.

Even in the time of the Emperor Ming, In the epoch of Yung -King, 7548 B.C., that obedient servant of his an• • cestors ordered the savants of the kingdom to search through ancient costumes, paintings and manuscripts for the laws governing the costuming of a proper court and commanded his imperial designers to hold strictly to the designs of these books. Silk fu those ancient days was a fabric for the court alone; the people were pro- hibited by "Sumptuary laws" to in- dulge in the honorable contact with. its soft folds. There is hardly a wo- man to -day in the civilized world who does not wear silk in some form or other. There is hardly a design of ancieut courts, whether of mighty prince or lowly servitor, which has not served the demands of modern fas- hion. Silk and fashion are closely linked throughout the centuries. Modes changed to conform to the new fabric as it was brought into each country.
