The American Consul at Rechenberg. Germany
says that he has just received from the United
States a trade publication containing the state
ment that the English language is sufficient for
selling American goods anywhere in Europe. He
insists that this is grave mistake. Except In
Dresden, where there is big American colony the
English language is not understood in trade circles
in Germany. Catalogues printed in English only
are promptly thrown into the waste basket. Per-
sona solicitation is better than printed matter
here again a fluent OF the language of the
country is requisite.

recently advanced their prices. exceptionally
good chance is offered TO American makers TO push
their wares on the other side of the Atlantic. AL

Manufacturers Of hardware report a rather dull

on lower prices and buying cautiously. Cut

him or until he found himself taking
enormously about Bruce's courage and re-

paused for breath in a glow of falsehood

FELT AND VELVET.
VIII Be Used in Winter MiIIfner,

with Much PIumage.
From the Millinery Trade Review
Felt will be a good deal used for smart
millinery, though not so much as velvet :
and In some cases, the soft, low crowns Of
toques, with narrow, rolled brims OF black
tulle richly spangled, are of pale pink. blue,
or mauve long-haired felt. A particular
shade of pinkish mauve-a pale plum color
is much affected for felt. A hat with a
slightly waved brim of black velvet has
beret crown in this mauve felt, drawn up
at the top through a jet buckle. The
trimming of this hat consists of a bunch
of satin roses in several shades of the same
color
1t will be seen from the preceding that
plumage is by far the most usual trim
ming, and that the choice in this line of
decoration is large. Besides the kinds mem
toned above, some use Is made of large
balls of clipped ostrich. | have taken note
OF two models trimmed with these. The
first is a tricorne, which has a soft, full
crown of grayish-green velvet; bent up
against this in three places is a wide brim,
made of double layers of black net closely
crCss-barred with black chenille. Thr, q
balls of black clipped ostrich ornament it
on the left side. The second is more sim
pie, but is also of the tricorne form, the
three-cornered effect being obtained by
the waving of the narrow brim; this and
the low-domed crown are made of alter
nate layers of brown and cream felt About
the base of the crown Is twisted a piece of
gold gallon tied in a small bow in front
On the left side are two balls of clipped
brown ostrich surmounted by clipped
aigrette to match.

Flowers in Fall and Winter Hats


1t is rather exceptional to find a model
trimmed with flowers; still, it is quite pos
sible that later on a reaction may set in
and that certain kinds of flowers will re-
ceive more attention. Those made of satin
and velvet are most likely to find favor,
roses especially; and, with these, orchids

Dainty Evening Gowns.

1t Is vastly more agreeable to turn to
contemplation Of the few evening gowns
that have SO far been put forth as indi-
Gators of good things to come. These
ideas are direct from one of the best Pa
rIsian studios and apply to women Of any
age under fifty. Corn-cOlored liberty silk
is the basis of the first dinner dress, and the
veil of yellow tissue is draped on an under
dress of soft, heavy corded silk, more pink
than yellow in tone. Crisp taffeta Is no
longer, we hear, the proper foundation for
evening gowns, that must flow, not stand,
stiffy about their wearers. Over the hips
and about the square. open neck and elbow
sleeves Of the pretty frock is laid heavy
cream Irish point lace, in a somewhat zig
gag pattern, while the girdle and shoulder
knot are made of black velvet.
The exceptions simply go to prove the
rule in favor Of elbow sleeved dinner and
ball dresses, for long lace sleeves are dis
tinctly have beens," though some women
continue to wear them, but in the under
sleeve guise. An exceedingly nice effect is
secured by bringing close lace sleeve to
the elbow and draping there deep, falling
undersleeve begins and extends clear to the
wrist.
As Regards New Sleeves.
Smartest, though, of all sleeves is that
one which Is cut In one piece, grasps the
arm snugly to the elbow and then widens, to
be caught in at the base of the hand by
close-fitting band It has the undersleeve
effect without changing it's colorings or ma
terial throughout the length Of the arm,
and that after all, Is the reason why the

the majority of women.
