the bottom Of the flounce. The bodice
is OF velvet in slightly deeper tone Of
| blue than the satin. 1t is elaborately
trimmed with ruchings of chiffon and
pearl embroidery. The corsage fastens,
as most evening waists do, in the mid
die of the back. The sleeves, which
reach to the elbow, are made Of shirred
chiffon.
An extremely simple gown will be
worn by one of the most "spidery"
OF charners when she weaves her web
at holiday german that is now in
preparation. The skirt is quite plain
an unusual circumstance in any kind Of
gown these days, but this charmer is
short, and knowing her weak points Is
too wise to emphasize them. The waist
Is banded with folds Of velvet of the
shade known as "Ophelia," which is
haif way between mauve and blue. A
rufhe OF mouSselne runs up one side
from waist to shoulder, and falls over
the flounce which forms sleeve. 1t
would be easy to remodel an old silk
gown in this fashion, by selecting vel
vet that harmonizes with the tone Of
the silk, to form the folds.
All sorts Of changes are being rung
upon the Cossack blouse. Since it is
used for an outside jacket as we'll as
for the dress bodice, it Is necessary that
the style be varied as much as pos
sible. One of the most artistic gowns
have yet seen is a symphony in brown
and blue. The skirt is golden brown
serge with some rows of braid near the
bottom. The Russian blouse is made
of brown velvet to match. 1t fastens
up the front as far as the bust line, and
fro.l there opens out. over a pale blue
guimpe. White revers rather break in
upon the symphony idea. but they look
stunning, and the harmony is again re-
peated in a brown velvet hat with
brown plumes.
Plum color is great favorite with
young women. A good many are fond
of combining it with a lighter shade Of
heliotrope. and surprising to say the
combine ion is not bad.
IA plum colored velvet blouse is rather
useful garment. 1t can be worn as
street dress with a dark skirt, or
when sufficiently decorated with laces
and ribbons it makes a dressy matinee
or theater waist 1 saw a very pretty
costume with this note at the matinee
yesterday. The blouse was plum color,
and was worn with black, moire pop

HOW TO MAKE IT.

On the approach Of the holiday sea-
son, knowing and provident ones who
"have been there BEFORE" adopt the
Christmas drawer, or it's equivalent,
shelf or trunk. The novel Half Hour
Work Basket" is also a wonderful help
towards accomplishing a good deal
without missing the time spent. and
thus getting the drawer filled with
supply Of pretty gifts with little exer-
tion.
THE HALF HOUR WORK BASKET.
This Is new, and forms in itself
most desirable gift for lady skilled IN
ever so slight a degree with needle
hook. or knitting pins. 1t is simply
pretty basket of medium size lined,
and covered either by it's own lid or a
loose embroidered doiley the basket be-
ing fitted with pin-cushion, needle-book
scissors, thimble, and about three soft
handkerchiefs. Each handkerchief is
intended to hold a piece Of work ar
ranged with it's materials.
The basket is as pretty as possible,
and is intended to stand on convent
ent table, with a low sewing chair near
in a good light. Each piece of work
is complete in Its own handkerchief,
which lies in the lap while one is work.
ing Any bundle can be picked up or
put away in a moment, and serves to
fill one of the many half hours Of wait
ing which fall to the lot Of most wo-
men, while the variety Of bundles al
lows of change of work.
One Of the prettiest new gifts for
Christmas is a combined
PIN-CUSHION. HANDKERCHIEF
AND VEIL CASE.
This Is in the form of an immense
somewhat conventionally
made to be sure, but a very pretty and
useful ornament for the toilet table.
The color is entirely optional, and it
affords a fine opportunity for using
handsome remnants of plush, velvet,
and silk, also ends Of rich colored en-
broidery silks.
The size is also a matter of taste, but
the center should be full enough to
form a respectable pin-cushion, and the
wings large enough to serve as cases
for the handkerchiefs, etc., put therein.

Washington actually belonged to his
famous relative, whom he strongly re.
sembles in face and figure. He is OF ex-
ac.ly the same height, six feet, two and
q half inches, and has the same distin-
guished presence. He won reputation
in New York by his work as member
of the famous Tenement House Com
mission appointed by Gov. Flower, be-
ing the originator of the "Pier Park
idea that has been so successfully car
ried out the past year in New York.
Mr.. Washington is a remarkably bril-
liant and versatile man, and there are
those who prophesy another President
Washington before many years. This
certainly would be "a name to conjure
by"
General Washington's staff will be
represented by members of the COM
pany in the Old Continental Guards, OF
which Mr.. Washington is captain.
The war Of 1912 will be commemorate

The affair will be a brilliant one So

well-known people. Mrs. Charles Ellioe
Fitch of Rochester has arranged the
scenes. the idea of such an entertain
ment having been first suggested BY
her.

the costumes to be worn belonged to
the men and women represented.
The entertainment is a reproduction
of historic scenes in our national life,
and is to be given in the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York, November
thirtieth, for the fund and under the
auspices of the National Society of
New England Women. The episode il
lustrated are divided into four groups,
representing early New England life,
the Dutch period in early New York,
the Revolutionary war, p12," and the
civil war. In the first group will be
seen '"The Pilgrims Keeping the Sab
bath, 1921" "The Marriage of Priscilla
Mullins to John Alden" and a New
England Thanksgiving, 171S." In these
scenes descendants of Governors Brad
ford and Winslow, Brewster, Warren,
Standish, Alden and Howland will be
on the stage. The Priscilla in the mar
riage, is a descendant of the real Pris-
ella, while the bridegroom will be i'm
personated by veritable John Alden,
directly descended from the dilatory but
conscientious gentleman who was slyly
prompted to "speak for HIMSELF Mr..
John Alden is a we'll known journalist,
and is the husband of Cynthia West
over Alden, one of the most brilliant
newspaper women in New York and q
successful author, as well.
Almost every one of the old Knicker-
booker families will be represented by
their children Of today in the scene,
"Peter Stuyvesant welcomed by OFF,
cials and People of New Amsterdam,
May, 1649."
The first episode in the Revolutionary
period will be "The Evacuation Of New

Girls who are fond Of masquerading
In mourning avail themselves Of the op-
portunity to come out in black velvet,
in this season of the popularity Of that

with blouse jacket was considerably
frightened, as well as enriched, by the
addition of an ermine edge.
Fur Is used very extensively for trim
ming, and there never was such q
stron-: tendency to insist upon having
the whole beast or none. Women go
about with whole foxes or half dozen
ermine around their neclSs, with the
requisite number Of tails and legs
dangling from each. They seem anxious
to emphasize the fact that they are
wearing distinctly four-legged animals.

skirt. Each is trimmed with four rows
of narrow satin ribbon. The waist is a
blouse with four rows Of satin ribbon
running around just below the ruffia

The Bradley-Martin costume ball of

ton, but New York is to witness an
entertainment this year Of which the
object is not to spend the greatest pos
siole amount of money, as in that case,
but really to obtain it for charitable
