other woman, that always stood between
me and perfect happiness, while third de-
clared that Tor bangle bracelet she would
have bartered her birthright in those far
off days of childhood.
There are not more than a dozen Christ
masses in each life, all told, when the full
fillment or ia lure of a desire means the
keenest happiness or unmitigated woe; but
the recollection of that joy sorrow goes
down the years till life shall end.

over-entreated ''saleslady,' in waiting for

the back of the head into loose projection
around which is tied ribbon or bow or
twist of chiffon. over the head the locks
are arranged in thick, wavy masses sug-
gestiVe of cushions underneath. The part
ing, which s a mere suggestion, comes at
the side, where a couple of small curls are
twined over the forehead.
After the Classic.
The classic evening coiffure is very con-
venent for those who have short hair. The
hair is decorated with wreaths of leaves or
coils of ribbon, velvet or chiffon, with an
outstanding twist of the material jew
eled ornament in front
For those who have naturally wavy hair
a simple pompadOur, either combed straght
back or parted. is the most becoming form
of headdress. If the hair is luXuriant 1t
can be gathered into a plated knot behind,
with a large ornamental pin just showing
at one side.
The use of black in decorating the hair
has never been marked as this year.
Black velvet bows, black gauZe and jet
ornaments and stiffened bits of black lace,
butterfly wings. few of the more or
dinary devices adopted.
Theater Gowns.
Theater gowns are seldom cut deCollete in
Paris. While extremely elegant. they are
not often except for gala nights at the
opera, cut low in the neck. Chenille en-
broidered chiffon was the basis of an ex-
tremely elegant frock worn by a French
beauty the other night at the Gymnase.

bands of fur are used to trim the cloakS.
Is also lace. Both are used, but at
present there is nothing like erminc from
a fashionable point of view. A pale blue
or pale pink bengaline cloak trimmed with
ermine is an exceedingly pretty garment
but a pale pink cashmere with narrow
bands of beaver, costing about half
much, is not to be despiSed. The frGCkS
that babies wear are not quite as long as
they were, but otherwise are made on much
the same plan, with the tucked yokes and
narrow lace insertion, and with skirts fin
ished with rows of tucks and a lace or
embroidered lawn rufiie. There are a great
number of frocks made, however, that are
only finished with hemsttching and tucks,
and without the rutfie and that are cousid-
cred just as satisfactory, if not more 50.

shown to hats turned up In front, at the

about 1000 girls and boys attend regularly

velvet, held in place by silver buckles are
crossed over the lace. The monotony of
the silk front is broken by lines of cord
ing. The sleeves of silk end just above
the wrist over a puffed undersleeve of
white mousseline.
Chiffon Neck Ruffies.
Even with cold weather the popularity
of the ornamental neck ruffie has not abat-
ed. Chiffon ruffles in various colors are
edged with chenille. with long streamers

eled ends they are still q part of every
fashionable wardrobe. The flower ruff

shops or upon the street.
In evening gowns fashion at the pres
ent time seems to point to chiffon as the
material par excellence for the fair de-
butante's frock. while satin is regarded as
more CONNIE II faut for the matron. A
gown of white satin. cut in princess shape
and embroidered with seed pearls. has been
recently completed by one of the great
shops for a young matron of Chicago. The
skirt is lOoped up with strands of pearl to
show an underpetticOat embroidered with
pearls and edged with ermine. The bodice
Is cut decolete in a heart shape, and around
1t heavy masses of lace are loaded down
with embroidery of pearls.
Black Lace Over White
The use of black and white when car
red out in lace is a very happy one for
evening garments. Black lace robes over
white silk are worn with excellent effects
by the more matronly beauties and are
considered of marked smartness when
frightened with touches of gold or silver
embroidery. CATHERINE TALBOT

School Gowns for Young Girls.

FrOfn Hufper BHZur.
The long waisted craze shows itself as
much in the styles for young girls as 1t
does in the fashions for older women. All
young girls now have the waists of their
gowns cut to be pointed in front and with
some blouse effect. This is, Of course. very
becoming to the uniformed figure of a
school girl. and her frocks can be made. in
consequence, to have a quite smart look.
