Fashions in MnTs

The feather muff is one of the latest
extravaganza Of enormous size, made
of ostrich feathers sewed close and
tight so as to look like fur, but with a
bunch of tips caught with a rhinestone
buckled at the side. to add to the ex-
pense, if not the beauty. These are
made in colors as we'll as in black, and
are worn with feather boas. They
are both expensive and perishable, two
attributes which endear them to the
feminine heart. Then there are muffs
made of cocks feathers and a few
are seen of maribou. but the ostrich
feather is preferred to any. There
are muffs of taffeta silk, with the arti-
fetal flowers: there are muffs of shir-
red and rufled chiffon, mousseline de
sole and Brussels net trimmed with
narrow or wide black velvet or with
frlnged ruffies. These are made in
colors as well as in black, and one
favorite fashion is to have them the
color of the gown with which they are
carried. They all have some sort of
neck piece to wear with them, either
small or large. as the case may be,
and are sometimes extremely becom-
ing. When the color of the taffeta
is not becoming there is put in a rufhe
of cream lace. which comes against the
skin and which never fails to be be-
coming.

MANY SCIENTISTS MEET
To Hear Lecture in Opera House by
Carol Norton

Under the auspices of the local
Christian Science Church, Carol Norton,
G. $. d., of New York City. lectured
TO nearly one thousand people in the
Opera House yesterday afternoon. In the
audience were members of the cult from
Philadelphia Baltimore, Chester, West
Chester and this city. The stage was
adorned with numerous palms and
large bunch of American Beauty roses
which were the gift of church in Brook

William IL. Savery, of this city, pre-
sided. Introductory remarks were made
by Norman q. Johns, @. b. S., formerly
Of Brooklyn, but now first reader of the
Wilmington church. He said:
Dear Friends: Although comparative
ly u new conner in your city, do not feel
stranger among you. Indeed, the tie
of n universal friendship is already es-
tablished, when we analyze the common
motive that has brought us together this
afternoon-the seeking after truth-the
truth which necessarily must be, because
Of the unceasing yearning of the human
heart for it.
THE lecture this afternoon will treat
Of the rise and progress of Christian
Science. which has lifted the burdens
from thousands of earth's weary children
The lecturer needs no formal introduction
to you. This large attendance betokens
an appreciatiye interest in his appearance
again, and the truth he SO ably presents

Some Beauty Suggestions

There are so many rules for beauty
laid by so many so-called authorities
that the woman who attempts to fol-
low them all would soon find herself a
fit candidate for an insane asylum.
But they always are eagerly read
by the fair ones.
A French beauty specialist contrib
utes these simple suggestiOns:-
Don't drink tea or coffee.
Drink pure water.
Eat grapes, apples, raisins and figs.
Eat few salted almonds daily.
Don't eat animal food
An egg or two a day, soft boiled, in
stead of meat
Eat an orange every day or so.
Walk two or three miles day.
Battle the whole body daily in tepid
water.
Don't fret; don't worry; be calm and

Pretty Things for Christmas

There is nothing more indicative OF
the approaching Christmas season
than the shop windows. Most Of them
are gaily decked in holly and palms
and electric lights, and with display of
dainty things for holiday giving they
make indeed brave showing.
The young man who is in doubt as
to what to give his "layde faire' can
do no better than make a round of the
shop windows for they certainly af-
ford plenty of inspiration. For in
stance they are:
Dainty handkerchiefs, exquisitely
lace trimmed and embroidered, from
81 to SO OF even higher, in price.
Surely a couple of these would bring
JOY to the heart of any girl
Stocks in all the delicate colors and
combinations in chiffons. mousselines,
lace and soft silks. adorned with
buckles. cabochons and cut steel-ir
short, the prettiest conceits imaginable
from 81 up to So.
Pocketbooks in the popular art
nouveau styles, and with gold and sill
yer trimmings. A delightful present
would be a case containing two in ele
phant skin with gold clasps. One was
a large card case and purse, embroid-
cred, and the other a small folded
pocketbOok.
Fans-pretty, fragile looking things
in cause or silk, or lace, spangled OF
painted, with plain or carved stick
or ivory or other materials. They
range in price from 81 to $40.
Then there are gloves for stree
wear and dress occasion, in white anC
dark colors. and at prices to suit al
Docketbooks.
If none of these suit, so to the
bookman or the jeWeler.
