the frame the more 1t is admired.
There's only one reason why 7 object
Der Of the willowy sisterhood, 'sand that is
the invariable preference hat fat ladies
have for sitting close to the little ones. II
I happen 10 be in a street car and a great,
big, roly-poly woman toddles in, she inn
mediately spots me as being a desirable
person to plant herself next to. So she
and all her double chins and great fappy
overskirts plump Town next to me, and all
anybody can see of this poor child Is a
pair of calf-skin shoes-they're big enough
to see, goodness knows-and perhaps the
tip of my nose. I tell you it isn't fair
! And another thing I've noticed is that
during the last cold snap, when we SILVER
ed in open cars, all the fat men and fat
women fiocked together. They knew that
skinny little things like yours truly
wouldn't help keep the wind off of en-
SO they fought shy of me-just when + was
hoping for some nice plump lady to sit
down and cover me up nicely"
To be well dressed one must be absolute
" spotless, shoes well polished, gloves
clean, wells smooth, etc, and it is all a
girl can do to keep six gowns and the ac-
cessories to be worn with them in this
condition without a maid; therefore the
fewer you have over this number the bet
ter you will look. Even your jewels
should be cleaned often. as dust soon set
ties around the stones in their settings
and makes them lose their brillfancy. You
can keep your set jewels, with the exeep-
ton of pearls. very bright by plunging
them frequently in pure alcohol, then
brushing them with a fine brush like these
used for water-color painting, as ven the
softest cleaning brushes have stiff enough
bristles to occasionally loosen the stones
in their settings If brushed frequently. At
this dry carefully with a channels skin.
When women are having their portraits
painted they should remember that the
left side of the face is the best looking.
Artists always put the best finishing off
and the finest shading on the left side Of
the profile Actors, actresses and public
singers have been taught to make a half
turn to the right when they wish to im-
press their audience. The left hand IS
more magnetic than the right. and a
glance from the left eye has d charm
which the right has not. There are a few
exceptions, bat these rules apply to nine
ty-nine out of every hundred persons.
The fur collarets formed from atwhole
animal and finished with the head and
claws and tail in most realistic effect are
again seen this year. the foxsin gray, red
and brown being the most general. The
NUTS are extremely large. some Of them
having one large tail falling to one side.
The various sables are fabulously high IN
cost, even the simplest of them, and are
undoubtedly the richest furs that woman
has ever worn. While rhine is given TO
the cachet of royalty, sable is by far the
more regal of the two in its appearance.
In her velvet gown and her sable collar
and muff. with a string of pearls about
her throat, this winters girl VIII be robed
like a queen.
A most desirable Introduction Is a
mousseline chiffon that will not crush.
II is used in It's natural beauty, as well
as plated and in ~boufllonnes, and with
lace insertions here and there. The shirt
and blouse hold their own. and the new
make of supple satin is to be employed
for such bodices, and for neck and waist
bands to others Of a more diaphonous
material. 1t is likely to alpplant silk for
u~nderskirts. and is to play a liberal role
in millinery.
Velvet flowers, both large and very
small. are one OF the features of winter
millinery; while still another which has
been handed down from the summer Is
the use OF tulle on velvet hats. There
are r~osettes OF tulle, or the order is re-
versed, and tulle, striped and checked
with bands of velvet of the same color,
is used for the foundations of the hat.
White tulle and white wings are the
dainty trimmings on a pale gray felt
hat.
One sees these fringes in many widths. |
from the Tom Thumb variety to the ten
inch styles. The simpler designs are in
silk, while more elaborate garnitures
nave chenille and beads in combination.

Like the American girls, Hindoo girls
are passionately fond of sweet things.
One Of their candies-sadu-is very much
like our plain sugar candy. 1t is made Of
sugar and milk and Favored with altar
of roses. Buddhikabal, or hair of Buddha, |
is one of their most popular sweetmeats. |
1t is so called because 1t is in fine long
strings like vermicelli. This is made of
sugar and cream from buffalo's milk,
which is exceedingly rich. The women
pass most of their time eating and and
gossiping.
A woman afflicted with round shoulders |
may benefit herself considerably by sleep |
ing with one small, fiat pillow. and be-
ing careful to walk as erect as possible,
keeping the head up and expanding the
chest. An exercise said to be efficacious
is to walk about the room with a book on
the head. If the chin can be- kept up the
stoop will gradually disappear.

Everything points to the fact that this
will be a lace season, in fact, very much
so. Some Partisan wtoilettes have long
r~edingotes made of nothing but lace. and
very handsome and costly they are. On
hats, coats gowns n neckwear, Iaces
are pre-eminent. Long lace and chiffon
boas are leading features of the fall cos
tunes for outdoor wear.
