drags on the ground. If iannel pett1coats
are worn they should be made Of the very
thdnnest quality, like the albatross fianneb
and on exactly the same lines as the silk
petticoat lust described. If the flannel
petticoat is not worn and the short white
skirts are used instead. they. too must
be cut on the same lines. The trouble
with most of the ready-made short white
petticoats is that they are on a yoke. and
the fulness below the yoke is put SO that
it comes at the hips. Of course it means
a little trouble TO look into all these little
details of dress, but once done and the
under-clothing put in good order, the new
gown will look twenty per cent better
thar if it is worn over ill-itting and old
fashioned lingerie.
Have you noticed the Increase in dim
pied chins? asked a beauty specialist.
No? Wei. look for them for a while,
count them and be amazed at the number.
They are not natural, oh, dear, no; but
are they less attractive on that account?
They are secured without any pain worth
mentioning and placed wherever the fair
patients desire them. / heard q women,
whose charms have been heightened by
one of these seductive little hollows, de-

orator fixed a small glass tube over the
spot she indicated. and applied his lips TO
the other end of the tub simply sucking
out the air. She felt a slight drawing of
the skin, that was all, for cocaine had
been applied before the process was be-
gun. The piece of skin sucked into the
tube was tied with a piece of silk, again
covered with cocaine and the extreme
point cut away with very sharp scissors.
1t left a little wound, which was properly
dressed, and a little silver cone inverted
over it to mark the centre. The result is
the dimple. Please let me say that ! am
not advocating this operation, only de-
scribing 1t as a subject of curiosity.
For a sweet girl there is a style of
wearing tiny pink roses in wreath fashion
about the knot of hair. A cluster of
wired pink chiffon ends and a wisp of
chiffon around the throat finish that set
of trimmings. Two black wings in blond
hair and a circle of velvet at the throat
make a third headdress. A fourth is de-
cidedly Oriental. Hair waved and parted
low is rendered coquettish by a great red
carnation caught at the left ear Hoop
earrings and a necklace of enameled
silver certainly add picturesqueness to a
couture one hardly expects to see ON the
audiences side of the footlights. But the
vogue for decorating the hair has come,
and 1t is not possible to say where 1t may
stop. There is no other way of varying
the toilet so readily and fnexpensively.
Bring forth now all your old-fashioned
jewelry, for it is decidedly to the fore, and
old boxes and jewel cases are being ran
sacked with the hope of bringing to light
long-forgotten treasures. Heavy gold
jointed bracelets are, for instance, turned
into clasps for opera cIoaks. and very
handsome they look. Smaller mes are
used on travelling capes. Old-fashioned

match bikes TO he worn on a chatelaine.
The inside of the locket may be taken
out. and a small bar of gold inserted to
keep the matches In place. Tops of ear
rings make buttons for night dresses, and
the longer drops make pretty safety pins
for camisoles.
