She takes her leisure leisurely and
turns it to good account.
Ono OF the newest fashions to be
established in New York ia the carrying
Of dainty muffs made Of chiffon, lace or
flowers to the opera or to the play.
This is fashion that was launched
last year by Miss Millward when she
played Lady Algy, and it was much
cavilled at for awhile. and later it was
adopted by few ventureeome Modishes
with such success that now it has ar
rived for the world Of fashion at large.
1t certainly is pretty fad and a use
full one. too. for it insures ones fingers
against the cold OF tie frostiest nights.
These muffs are always tiny. and
should be made in the cololing OF ones
gown; they are usually deliciously
scented with ones favorite sache..
By the way. sachet tablets are among
the novelties of the year, and they are
ever 90 much more satisfactory in every
way than the old-fashioned sachet
powder that one spent ones time eter-
nslly having renewed.
The new ball gowns all incline to EN-.
pire effects.

Ball gowns that are not Empire are

Mrs. Lee Taller has a very smart new
ball gown. 1t is built, and moet sue
cessfully built, on the difficult Prin-
ceesee lines
it is in heavy yellow lsce-never mind
the name-over yellow chiffon. 1t falls
closely and clingipgly about the figure
as lovers embrace, and flares out into
an exceedingly graceful sweep about the
feet.
On the yellow lace. spapgles of pc
culiar mother-of-pearl moonlight-on-the-
lake effect are thickly sewn.
Spangles, as everyone knows by now,
must be decidedly out of the ordinary
in their coloring or they are no longer
tolerated.
Blue spangles have been much worn
in Paris for some time. but they have
had no vogue here.
l don't know why. for they are Ger
tainly lovely.
Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs has one OF

1t is from now on to the end of our

That this is true is proved by the

to think this was an obligation tat

it involved.
