Oh helpless body of hickory tree,
What do l burn in burning thee?
Summers of sun winters of snow,
Springs full of sap's resistless flow;
All past years joys of garrered fruits;
All this years purposed buds and shoots;
Secrets of fields OF upper air,
Secrets which stars and planets share;
Light of such smiles broad skies fling;
Sound of such tunes as wild birds sing;
Voices which told where gay birds dwelt,
Voices which told where lovers knelt;
Oh strong. white body of hickory tree.
How dare I burn all these, IN thee!

Mrs. Vanderbilt's Corduroy.
Mrs, Alfred Vanderbilt has been wear
ing corduroy which was warm and
pretty The waist and skirt were alike
and in tobacco brown. The skirt was
perfectly plain, except for rows and rows
OF stitching around the foot, and the
waist was of the full blouse variety. Over
1t she wore the prettest of ermine capes,
coming just over the shoulders. The cape
had those "eyes, which mark ermine
with the price mark of eXpensiVeneSS.
The collar was very tall, but was cut to
roll back rom the ears.
Around the neck there was a band of
brown velvet put on in half puffed, half
gathered fashion, with big bow in front
with long ends that came far below the
waist. These ends were made" ones OF
VelVet, cut slantlng upon the ends, and

with satin.

worn and the velvet in them must be of 4

date these velvet ends and loops, indeed
the whole bow, must be satin lined. in
stead OF velvet lined and they must be
large, not at all suggesting the skimpy
little velvet bow worn upon the shirt
waist a year ago.
The winter shirt waist is built for the
back. as the summer shirt waist Is built
Tor the front. The summer girl wants to
look attractive as she comes to meet you
IN the sunlight The winter girl must
look attractive at all times in DarlOr and
in sitting room, on dull days and bright
ones. TO accomplish this she must build
her shirt waist for both views, front and
back
Not a few of the new waists are IN
trimmed in front except for bands, per-
haps of silk laid on in great circles one
circle looping the front from shoulder to
shoulder, one edge of the band seWed
tight, the other loose. There may be three
bands OF silk, one laid below the other.
and slightly overlapping, as though they
were tucks. This style is very much af-
fected by those who like the shirt waist
that is buttoned in the back.
The back of such a waist may be quite
elaborate with it's folds of silk. its hem
stitching and its very handsome buttons
which can sentinel the path between the
back of the neck and the back of the
belt

back view is much noticed upon the even

Get Good Velvet.
In buying a dark velvet shirt waist
there is only one course open-get the
best. Poor velvet never was bargain at
any time and made up into a shirt waist
il is doubly not what it seems to be-
Good velvet does not ''crock" does not
wear off, does not crease readily and is
warm and beautiful while an inch of it re-
mains
Corduroy is still more serviceable than
velvet, for it has about it certain admir-
able traits of durability. Where velvet

cleaned here and there delicately with

usage and it is little heavier than vel

strange blues, with their big army-like

here is a back that is liked by those
who enjoy the French waist. 1t begins,
to start with the belt. with a very wide
liberty satin ribbon which is hooked in
the back underla very ornate buckle The
belt in the back is very, very wide and
would suggest an empire were it not for

pulled low in front
At the back of this fancy French waist
there is a little bolero, put on the back

Then there is a little putting of chiffon
which falls below the bolero and over
the belt all the way around; and
yoke of lace with a deep lace rufI1e. The
stock IS, of course, necessary, but il is a
thing that is put on afterward and which
can be varied.
Shirt Waist Belts.

mands attention, for it is a thing apart,
like the stock. Belts spring up every

anew, enjoying another existence.
The belt which at this very second
holds the center of the worlds attention,
that part of it which is interested in the
winter shirt waist, is the one that has
front and one in the middle of the back.
This may be a shaped belt, but it must
be shaped by some one who understands
the how and wherefore.
The buckle in the back, In the case OF
the belt with two buckles, is the one that
is for show. 1t is slidden upon a ribbon
and takes its place right in the middle OF
the back. 1t may be one of those long,
narrow buckles which make the waist
look so lengthy and slender, or ii may be
a more up-to-date thing.
One of the very newest of the back-Of-
the-waist buckles looks like three buckles
and, indeed, il is three, fastened under
meath i'm some way. Visible there are
three circular buckles caught in buckle
fashion through the silk. They may be
in pearls which are so pretty, or in steel,
which is so fashionable. or in silver which
is fad with so many women.
The newest convert to the silver fad is

all her small ornaments shall be silver.

the pretty Miss May Goelet recently had
two narrow ribbons fastened to it, and on
the other end of the ribbons there hung
a velvet rose, dangling fully four inches
below the chou. Be sure in trimming up
your handsome shirt waists to use arri-
fetal roses in plenty, for you get the fin
est results in that manner.
