FUR CUSHIONS.

The latest craze, which comes from Paris, is to ornament cushions with fur. Most of these novel cushions arc in black and while, but any kind of fur is used from sable to rabbit. Some of these fur cushions are very elaborate, being of black satin or vehet, trimmed with gold tissue and braid, and garnished with ermine. Another example is a round cushion of white fox and skunk, tho black fur being inserted in three triangularshaped • pieces. Some of these cushions have deep flounces on one side only. Ihev look somehow as though a Doctor of Divinity had carelessly flung his hood down on the couch and forgotten to put it away. Leather cushions in colours, and brilliant patchwork, aro also seen, as is tho black satin cushion with gold or silver trimming. But tho latest thing is fur, and apparently it is unnecessary to have the whole cushion covered with fur so long as a littlo piece of s6me kind or another is let in anywhere. There is 110 reason why fur should not make a splendid cushion. It is certainly soft and comfortable, but for somo reason difficult to explain tho fur cushion appears incongruous.
