Worn in All Shades for Street and
Evening Gowns.

|
Evening Gowns.
From the New York Times.
! Crepe de chine is having its innings this
year and throws into the shade some old
favorites in the way of dress goods. The
| favorite material is worn in all shades
and appears in street as well as evening
| gowns house gowns and in everything in
| the way Of a gown that clever modiste
| can suggest. The identical material. shade
and all, may masquerade in any number OF
different gowns. the simplicity or elabo-
! rateness of the making determining the po-
sition of the gown In the wardrobe of the
| wearer.
There is not a shade that can be men,
toned that Is not being worn, though black
and white vie with each other for the first
rank in popularity The pastel shades are
as popular in the crepes as in other goods
of all kinds and descriptions. There are
the tans and grays, the browns and blues.
in the latter the bright marine blue, the
electric and the navy being popular. Other
shades are coming in In the spring rumors
which are well grounded say, and bright
red Of nearly the golf shade will be among
them, and a ceriSe red.
Crepes come in all prices as well as in all
shades, and range from 81 to IS yard
There is not as great a variation as might
seem in these prices, for the lower-priced
goods are from 81 to "a inches wide, while
the more expensive goods come at "a inches
ana cut TO lnInltely DelteT duNduldSe. IL
hardly pays to buy the cheapest goods as
they are lighter in weight and have not the
wearing qualities Of the heavier or the body
to give them good lines. The plain colors
have the advantage this season, and they
are more popular in all goods than fancy
designs.
With the plain crepe de chimes are the
satin finished, crepe metiores, the crinkled
crepes and crepe aconne or broche. with
figures of pretty rosebud designs and vari-
Gus medium and small figures. These lat
ter crepes, which are exceedingly attract
i've, range at about 50 yard, which is high
for popular material, the medium priced
goods being always more in demand. Crepe
de chimes this year are taking the place OF
the satin duchesse and even of the peau de
sole.
Chiffons come in in the history of crepe
de chimes, for they go into the makeup OF
so many Of them, varying according to the
character of the gowns. The chiffon IS not
used to any great extent for entire gowns.
1t is too fragile and its beauty depends
upon Its freshness. 1t Is charming in ac
Gordon plated gowns, but 1t takes at least
forty yards to make frock Of that kind.

Little Economies,

Teach the children not to waste tri1es,
which they often throw away without
thought, and which, if saved, might be Of
use to others If not to themselves. Wrap
ping paper, pieces Of Irvine, odds and ends
of various kinds, may do service a second
time If put away until the need for them
arises. The habit of economy is one that
ought to be cultivated, for careful saving
makes lavish giving possible. boarding is
not a vice Of childhood. nor should it be
encouraged, but the wise outstanding of re-
sources for future expenditure is val

A Fable.
From the Century.


There was once woman who had never
learned how to swim, although she went
in bathing every day In the summer. She
had a friend who had acquired this art
with some trouble, and was very proud of
her proficiency in it.
ut is absurd, said this friend. "to live
near the water and not swim. 1t makes
you very attractive to good swimmers if
you can go out with them, and they do not
feel that you are drag on their pleas
ures. What would you do in case you fell
off the pier? Now. watch me!'
With these words she dived off into the
water and swan about by herself.
1T is good thing to have a woman swim
so WE'LL" said one of the men near by;
nov, If any of the children fall into the
water she can rescue them"
Just then the woman who could not help
herself uttered a scream and fell into the
sea. Instantly five men leaped in to rescue
her, and spent the rest of the day resusci-
tating her and inquiring how she was, leav-
Ing the swimmer to dive by herself.
This teaches us that nothing succeeds like
distress.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Exceedingly smart hats are worn at re-
ceptions, made of light velvets and cloths
tulle and velvet, trimmed with ostrich
feathers and fur with flowers. These lat
ter, however, are not absolutely correct ex-
cepting with tailor gowns. There are few
bonnets seen-in fact. none at all, except
for older women-but even the smallest of
the hats are most elaborate in design. It is
rather fad at present to wear the hat
and shirtwaist the same color, or az tie to
match the color of the hat, the idea being
to repeat the color that is in the hat on the
gown.
White button gloves of glace kid, or a
pale shade of the same color as the gown,
are correct, while the hostess and the
guests VINO receive with her wear the NOUS
quetaire gloves. 1t is not the fashion to
take off ones wrap, and the whole cos
tune must be built the idea that 1t is
to be worn indoors and out.

Hatrdressfn4. Ornaments.

Theater aigrets are 20 high that they are
as inconvenient as high hats for those who
sit behind them.
Gold enamel serpents coiled round the
hair are far less inconvenient. though they
do look rather heathenish. But every whim
is allowed just now. - -
The pompadour style Of dressing the hair
Is disappearing fast, and forehead curls are
taxing Its place, and at the back the hair
ID coiled almost on the neck.

Winter Skirts.

The thickness Of tweeds and autumn
dress goods prevents the elaborate plating
and gathering of skirts and sounds the
deathknell of tailed skirts and trains-that
is, for outdoor gowns. The plain all round
sensible walking skirt, with box plated or
tucked back, is again to the fore, trimmed
with rows of machine stitching or the mar
rowest Of braid. The latter trimming, both
in wide, tubular, fat and narrow makes, Is
again a favorite dress garniture.

Choosing Il Nursery.

When choosing room for a nursery 1t
is we'll to bear in mind that for the health's
sake of the little inmates it is necessary for
them to have plenty of light and sunshine
combined with good ventilation and warmth
1t is best, If possible not to have the nur-
sery at the top of the house, under the
Roof, but on the first or second floor facing
the south. The air of the room ought never
to register more than 20 degrees nor less
than 80 degrees, though there are some

Neckwear for Mourning.
From Harper's Razar

From Harper's Bazaar.
Some very smart arrangements in neck
wear are shown In the best shops now for
mourning. The stocks are very high. built
up with soft folds of crepe or chiffon, and
trimmed with ruches Of crepe across the
ends. Some dull-finished six is used, too,
in their makeup.
There are many new styles of neckwear
intended solely for mourning which are un-
usually attractive. Mousseline de sole and
chiffon are the favorite materials, and far
more becoming that the dull silk ties or
the peau de sole. A smart stock is finished
with narrow ruching of chiffon. and the
tie, butterfly bow, has the ends trimmed
with the same ruching. Another and longer
tie Is of folds of chiffon with only the mar
roWest ruching as finish. Sheer white
linen collars and cuffs are worn in the deep
est mourning by widows, while the narrow
collar and cuffs of hemstitched linen are
appropriate for any one to wear who wears
mourning, whether for a near or distant
relative.

There are certain fixed principles in fire
building that must be mastered If one

must be placed first, because they have the
lowest kindling point. Newspaper is better

pose on account of the printers ink. which

Light ColOred Tailor Mades.

White or very light colored cloth tailor
costumes have become general. They are
worn with pretty blouses and open jack
cts or boleros. In fact, many tailor cos
tunes have both a bolero and jacket, to
change when required.
Next to white pale grayish blue is con-
sidered the most chic. In all cases when
the skirt is lined 1t is lined with colored
silk II white and with the color of the

The innovation Of wearing light colored
