patton for wide awake American
youngsters. On single golfing ground,
the Ardsley links near New York, one
hundred and fifty boys have been en-
ployed as caddies during the past sum-
mer. AS almost every town from Port
land to San Francisco now has its
links, it is safe guess that no less
than 5000 young Americans have
earned their Christmas pin money and
perhaps something more by chasing
golf balls over the sward during the
past few months.
In Europe, where golf is several hum
dred years older than 1t is in this
country, men are frequently employed
as caddies, but on this side of the At
lantic the golfers attendant is almost
invariably in his teens. Sometimes he
is schoolboy, and often he is boy
who should be in school but Is not.
Near the big cities, where many men
play before and after business hours,

ran over the shoulders through hand
some paste buckles. The belt was of
spangled gold and white brocade, as
was the deep v between the crossing
bodice ribbons. There were small point
ed epaulettes Of brocade on the shoul-
ders, overlapping the little wings of
accordion-pleated mousseline that
apologized for the lack Of sleeves. 1t
ought to have been said before this
point was reached that the corsage was
cut square and low but not excessively
decollete.
A high-necked evening dress worn on
the same occasion was exceptionally
artistic in design. The material was
white satin, showing through a yelling
of exquisite lace, patterned with flow
ers. The slightly pouched bodice Of
chiffon and lace was finished at the
neck with q band Of old rose satin and
standing collar of lace; at the waist
it was held in by a draped corselet belt
Of old rose velvet, brocaded with cerise
and yellow. There were long tight
sleeves of white silk worn with gold
threads, and at the back was clever

white brocade, divided by fall Of lace

One was of turquoise silk, with skirt

The other dress was of the palest

trimmed with a deep founce of Brus-

ELLEN 0SBORN'S FASHION LETTER,

New York. Dec. S-The first dances
Of the season make it evident that even
ing gowns this winter will be cut with
square necks, almost without exception.
The round or oval of a year or two
back is scarcely heard from. Pointed
or v necks keep up the struggle, but
the v is generally cut off, front and
back, as concession to the claims Of
the square.
A pretty variant on prevailing styles
Is effected by throwing not too vol
luminous flchu Of mousseline de sole
ruffled with lace over the shoulders,
crossing the ends and carrying them
round the waist to hide under the sash
somewhere. The crossing should be
made low enough to leave a triangle
Of lace or Of the bodice material above,
as II square decollete were partially
covered by the flchu. This suggestion
should be utilized for slender figures
only.
Another possible variant was illus
trated at dinner dance few nights
ago, when a bodice Of turquoise blue
cause, embroidered with silver and cut
very much off the shoulders. was worn
with straps OF turquoise velvet; these
started from the lace frill that finished
the square front and ran, like the sides
Of a broken Y, up to puffy bows tied
above the arms and doing duty for
sleeves. A narrow sash gave repeat
Of color and material.
The most usual modification Of the
straight front Is brought about by pull
ing It down a bit in the middle with q
bow, flower or jewel
The low-cut back Is not in fashion.
There have been winters when decol-
lette was a euphemism as applied to
the display Of shoulder blades.
The pouched bodice is almost as
dominant in the evening as by day
light. When It does not obtain, some
form OF the Empire gown can be looked
for more or less confidently.
The bolero 10 applied to party gowns

occasionally. It Is not recommended
except for special purposes Of color OF
decoration.
Sleeves Of some sort are usual
though rosettes Of lace or ribbon car
be construed as supplying the def.
cheney.
Lace, mousseline and chiffon are used
in almost incredible quantities fol
bodice decoration. Ribbon is applied
literally, but it does not hold first posi-.
ton.
The sash is Of supreme Importance
It may end directly in front, behind OF
on the side. The use Of the sash with
short end is confined mostly to the EN-.
pire gown. A very pretty result was
obtained recently on pale yellow sill
frock by passing draped folds of white
velvet about the waist, crossing then
in front and fastening them, in deftly
tied bows, higher up upon the bosom
The dress 80 arranged gave a modified
Empire effect for q young and quite
slender girl. Sash ends reaching the
hem of the gown are quite usual; they
may be of some width and elaborately
ornamented. One Of the newest sashes
takes the form Of scarf knotted or
the left shoulder, knotted again at thu
left side of the waist and hanging tc
about the level Of the knees. A folded
belt without sash ends Is preferable
for many figures.

unions. for the stability Of the finished
piece will depend chiefly on this part
Of the workmanship.
The end rails are fastened in simi-
lar manner, but before the two sides
are brought together It Is necessary to
cut the top rails. in the under side OF
which the spindles are fastened.
Fig. d shows the way in which the
ends of the rails are cut to AT into NOR
tised holes made in the top of each up
right stick; but before these holes are
cut 1t will be necessary to glue small
piece Of wood to the top end OF eacn
stick, that can afterwards be rounoeo
OF with a draw knife, so as to appear
as shown In the illustration. The square
hole may then be cut to depth OF nalr
an inch with a sharp chisel, ana aiter
boring holes at regular distances aione
the under side Of each top rail ana tne
top edge of the end box boards as
shown in Figs. d and E. the framework
may be brought together and nrmiy
anchored with glue and screws.
Dowel sticks are generally little
rough and will require sandpapering.
The bit used to bore the holes made TO
receive the ends OF these must have the
exact diameter of the stocks.
When the framework Is finished all
rough places should be sandpapereo
and the crevices puttied up. Then Two
or three successive thin coats OF PAINT
must be applied. after which the sur
face should be gone over with verys nne
sandpaper and treated to one or two
coats Of hard oil finish.
UPHOLSTERING.
Inside the top rail all around and
for an inch down from the top, screw
an inch square strip; 1t would be Wen
to use layer of glue also, to add TO
the strength of the fastening. Across
the seat, across the rails from top to
top, stretch and tack webbing such as
is commonly used for upholstering pur-
poses, which may be obtained for few
cents a yard. A firm flooring Is to be
made of this material; then cover 1t
with curled hair from an old mattress
If that is not available, excelsior may
be used, though 1t Is not SO good as the
hair. Be generous with the hair, and
over the top OF it draw some unbleached
muslin, tacking 1t to the inside of each
side and end board. Cover the muslin
in turn with any good upholstery ma
terial and tack 1t down in similar
manner; then with buttons and string
threaded in pack needle sew through
the cushion and tie the ends Of the
string to the under side. so that the IA
miliar tufted and upholstered effect
will be had.
