FOR WINTER DRESSES.
Notes on the Making of Cold Weather
Costumes.


Costumes.
A point that the average woman will
do well to note is the choice of mate.
rial for lining winter garments. Three
or four thicknesses of weolen material
will not give the warmth that one ex-
periences from one or two of thick,
closely-woven cotton AS an interim
ing for garments for severe weather.
canton flannel or denim of good quail
ity, is unsurpassed. These materials
are somewhat heavy, but this is atoned
for by the feeling of comfort one gets
by their use. Next to them is some
leather material such as chamois
or sheepskin. 1t is possible to buy for
a very small sum shaved-down sheep
skin that is as soft and pliable as vel
vet. Those who have never used this
as an interlining will be surprised at
the perfect comfort and protection it
affords There are persons who find it
impossible to keep warm no matter
what amount of wooden material they
may put on. This may be constitu.
tional popularity, but, nevertheless, it
exists, and is worthy of consideration
In trimming waists it is desirable to
put as little garniture across the back
between the shoulders as may be- Es-
pecially is this necessary if one is in.
clined to stoop. The best way to put
elaborate garnitures on waists is to
have them end vat the back of the
sleeves. They must be very full over
the shoulders, much less so across the
front Indeed, there should be just
enough fullness to hang gracefully.
One-third allowance is often too much
for the best effects unless the lace is
very wide. Goods made into ruff1es
should be adjusted after the dress is
put on. This saves good deal OF
trouble, and produces much better et.
fects.
The folded soft belt and collar are
having a long season of popularity.
They are almost universally employed
on dressy costumes, and are extremely
becoming to all except very stout per.

BETTER. THAN WEALTH.
An "Air' Is Worth More toa Woman Than
Many Paris Irocks.

A distinguished carriage is the
most useful possession woman can
have. She may be absolutely plain of
face and yet manage to make a pretty
woman feel insignificant by contrast
She may be poor, and yet make mon.
eyed danes envious. She may weah

guished air she compels even sales
ladies to do her bidding Her butcher

erwoman never fails to bring her
clothes when they are due Her neigh
bors admire and occasionally even the
cable car man respects her signals.
The first requisite for distinguished
carriage is a back" Stoop shoulders
and rounded backs or ''sway" backs
arc fatal to the aspirant for truly
elegant appearance. The proper posi-
ton is obtained when, with body unre-
stricted by tight clothing and not
thrown forward by high heels, one
stands with heavy weight balanced
on her head. 1t is impossible to hold
that weight unless the figure is cor
rectly held and the head is at Just the
proper angle. Consequently an excel
lent exercise for obtaining a correct
carriage is walking about ones room
balancing a heavy book on the head,
or rising slowly on ones toes with the
weight balanced
Every morning before her bath a
woman should assume the correct
standing position and exercise Tor a
few minutes with dumbbells or chest
weight. Or she may throw the Shout
ders firmly back until the blades al
most meet. This should be done a
number of times. Then the motion OF
the arms used in rowing should be
made number of times.
When woman is walking she should
remember to preserve the correct pc
sition of legs, back, shoulders anc
head. If she takes deep. long breath'
at every few steps she will be increas

AN ARTISTIC COIFFURE.
Texture OF Cebwebs, Color of Ebony on a
White Neck.


1t is very rarely that one sees WON
ans hair of the absolutely inky blue of
Hamlet's cloak, but when one does be
certain the dusky chevelure is great
beauty. In these days of uncertain
drabs and grays and browns and the
tinted blonde a fine head of black
hair is very conspicuous, particularly
when its possessor happens to be a
handsome girl, with fresh, clear skin
and the blue eyes which always ''go"
with just such black hair. Such type
is seldom seen, but it is pure Irish, and
beauty can be found among all the Sax
on, Latin and Oriental races. 1t has so
much character. it is so pure in strain,
that the mixed blood beside it seems
insipid and far from thoroughbred
Not long since CHANGED to sit behind
a girl at the theater whose couture
was more interesting from an artistic
point of view than what was going on
beyond the footlights. 1t was the tex
ture of cobwebs, the dense color of
ebony witho t the least lustre, and it
was coiled in a heavy mass above a
very white neck. The eyes were blue,
and the straight, delicate brows as
dark as the hair This coloring, natur-
ally anything but snowy, had the eff
feet to pale the Titan red locks of a
fair lady in the same row, and from its
rarity rendered the possessor an object
of much speculation, not to say admir-
alton, to several observers. 1t is sim
gular how quickly a novelty is
caught on to, whether the novelty is a
pretty girl or new style of gown, but
evidently the present generation are
wide awake and know fine thing
when they see it.-Roston Herald.

knife and that piece of rock I'd had
in my hand, knocked off the rough
corners while watched the Sioux for
a minute or two. They were all
mounted by this time and circlin
round the camp like mad. / knew
they'd be out of my way in no time,
and, tuckin' the pipestone in the
pocket OF my huntin' shirt, l crept
down to the little creek bottom.

that they'd found the brave I'd shot.
was leavin' broad trail In the tall
grass as ran up stream to the east
and lookin' sharp for some place to
dodge the Sioux. When heard that
yellin' behind knew it was time to
get under cover. My idea, at first, was
to hide in the tall grass along the
creek, but little draw that came into
the creek from the southwest changed
my plan. After runnin' about forty
rods, straight ahead, past the mouth
of this draw, caved bit of The
creeks bank into the stream, to make
them think I'd taken to the water to
hide my trail, and, doublin' on my
track, ran back to the draw, jumped
out of my trail as far as / could and
crept through the grass and reeds up
the draw, coverin' my tracks behind
me as carefully as l knew how I'd
got about hundred yards up the
draw when the whole pack came up
the creek on my trail, ridin' pell-mell
and screechin' like so many fiends.
ut always did do me good to fool
the cunnin' rascals, and l laughed to
myself when heard the snappin' and
crackin' of fire in the dry grass.
Smoke began to curl up to the east
and the yellin' commenced again.
They'd set the creek-bottoms on fire
and were ridin' along the banks to
head me off when they'd roasted me
out. I'd got my wind and loaded the
empty barrel of my rife by this time,
and keepin' in the bottom of the swale

which way I'd gone. As soon as l had
put a safe distance between me and
the Sioux, took to the open prairie,
where my moccasins left scarcely a
trace as flew along over the short,
dry grass. naturally kept to the hol-
lows as much as could, and it must
have been half an hour before heard
or saw anything of the Sioux again.
Then my ears caught the thumpin' of
hoofs on the hard sod, and | hadn't
more than thrown myself fat in the
grass before a dozen of 'em came
swoopin' over a rise on my left, and
crossed my rail without ever SEEM it,
not a hundred yards behind me.

High Combs.

Two years ago shell side combs came
in and then went out, but the coming
winter promises to see them in vogue
again. Their introduction was for or
nament, their temperance for neces-
sity; how else shall we keep short
locks in place? High Spanish combs
owned by great-grandmothers are be-
ing carefully mended and are worn
with much sentiment by their descend
ants. 1t is useless to attempt these
combs with hat or bonnet. but for
house and evening wear they are ex-
quisite. At recent colonial tea the
hostess wore the most beautiful one
ever saw, ha lded down through her
family from priscilla Alden. The comb
is the only style of metal permitted in
the hair. Daggers, swords, gold pins,
all will be considered bal form.-De.
