only object lesson needed to reform the
cut, even though Paquin, who always
anticipates the future, had not present
ed possibilities in the plated skirt.
The skirts differ little one from the
other; both are minus the gaping
placket and fasten on the left side For
those who desire to continue wearing
the tight effects the plat may be stitch
ed down for eight or ten inches, there
by preserving the sheathlike appear
ance, while the figure of the woman in
clined to embonpoint is vastly improv-
ed by permitting the plat to flow free
ly. The new cut in nowise interferes
with decorative schemes, and straps
and bands are still conspicuous part
of their construction.
Stitchings In patterns or wavy lines
mark the progress of the machine work
on the latest models exhibited. Tucks
describing points are a novelty trim
ming used ON cloth or light fabrics
with equally charming effect The fad
for machine stitching concerns velvet
and silk as we'll as cloth. Neckbands
made of velvet stitched around Is or 20
times, occasionally in a crisscross pat
tern resembling designs on old fashion
ed bed quilts, are the latest thing.
Next in Importance to the coat suit
is the cloth gown for more dressy wear.
In fact, it may be said to be of para
mount Importance, so firm hold has
cloth this season upon the affection of
the multitudes. Peau de CANT is the
newest material, and, as its name sug-
gests, it is a finely woven soft cloth not
unlike suede. 1t combines beautifully
with the lace and chiffon addenda and
is used yargely in the make up of elab-
crate dinner dresses. A beautiful cloth
costume for theater wear is of pearl
gray peau de CANT. The skirt is finish
ed with deep fiounee, which is trim
med along the top with vide band of
lace cut into points and outlined with
narrow velvet and ribbon. The same
trimming is repeated across the front
of the bodice and at the top of the
sleeves. Otherwise the bodice is quite
CLAIM, and should fit to perfection. In
this model is developed the plated skirt
closely stitched, preserving the snug
contour.

necessity just now to have a sable
toque if you would be in the swim.
By the bye, painted velvets are the
very newest things in Paris. They are
most delicately done, sometimes on
turquoise blue and sometimes on pale
blush gray velvet with a painting of
wheat ears in natural tints. A creamy
white velvet is frequently patterned
with leaves and berries of ivy outlined
IN gold. These are very expensive,
but in the course of events velveteen
in printed floral designs will be Of
fered as an acceptable substitute.

VISITING COSTUMES FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

breasted and fasten down the left side.
The double-breasted front is slightly
draped top and bottom under two
rosettes ornamented with buckles.
The princess costume is cut up on one
side to reveal an underskirt of the
same material, and it is edged with
fringe.
An excellent example of the extrav-
agance of decoration is shown in a
blue cloth walking suit. A band of
scallops mounted on a panel of an
tique velvet outlines the front breadth
and circles the bottom of the skirt
half way around. The jaunty jacket
is similarly decorated and supplied
with chinchilla collar and revers.
With it is carried a muff, which may
be either of chinchilla or of closely
shirred gray chiffon.
Chiffon muffs were first seen at the
horse show and are new and delight
full substitute for the heavy fur muff
which is five times as expensive.
Usually bit of fur like that used on
the coat is somewhere introduced on
the muff, but this is not at all neces-
sary to harmony, as the shirring is
done in tucks, which gives a fluffy
look and is further beautified if it is
shaded. With sable trimming. con-
lection Of chiffon in muff form made
of white, brown and black is the
caprice. One color is laid upon the
other, giving brownish cast, and it
is finished off with plating in which
several tails are fastened.
Tailor costumes, if of good material,
and trimmed with braid or fur, may be
worn for visiting, though cashmere,
satin cloth and wooden pique are con-
sidered more dresSy, as is also a long
cloak or coat of fur, or of velvet trim
med with fur. Young girls, however.
may always wear tailor costume.
Fashionable cloths are not confined to
the plain varieties. One of the prettiest
of the seasonable novelties is cashmere
spotted with black velvet, either woven
in the stuff or printed on it. There is
no rule for the size of the spots; some
times they are small as confetti. and
sometimes they are formed like little
cubes and run lengthways and sideways
down the skirt like stripes Some plain

tens on the left side of the front, where
it is trimmed with narrow velvet rib

trimmed to match the skirt, and it has
a yoke of lace. The collar is also OF
lace, edged with velvet ribbon.
One of the accompanying illustra-
tons furnishes a pretty idea for a
princess costume which has fewer adj
herents. 1t is made of plain violet
cloth and is designated as a princess

FULL VALUE OF FOOD.

Food may not only be spoiled in the cooking
It may be wasted in cooking. The food-value OF
meat for example, depends largely upon the
, amount Of the nutritious juices kept in Il while
1t is being cooked. Just here is one OF the great
savings made possible by using gas TO cook
with. II is the most economical method be-
cause, in addition to q saving of 90 per cent in
the actual fuel cost, It wastes food value less
than any other method. Careful experiments
have been made by experts. Or. Macadam Of
Glasgow, among others. and they show that
while meat cooked In n coal range yields 90 per
cent Of the raw material. In gas range the
yield Is about 10 per cent. In other words q
joint Weighing ten pounds comes out Of the oven
Of a coal range Weighing six, but out OF Il gas
heated oven weighing seven and half This is
simply saying that you throw away a pound
and half OF meat when you do not roast IL by
gas. Other savings OF food value by actual
weight have been figured out after repeated
trials. as follows. the saving being Of course
that made by the gas range as compared with
the coal range: In cooking fish. 10 per cent;
chicken, il per cent; chops. 20 per cent; eteak
per cent etc The result If clearly the same
rs II you got just so much more food for
YOUR money. All This is saying nothing Of tho
food being much more tocthsorne and appc-
tizng when cooked by gas The gas range sup
plies cookery which Is not only economical but
most tempting enables you to eax your dinner
with gustt as well as satisfaction.-(Adyt
