muff and boa of fluffy white gauze, edged
with black velvet ribbon, is built upon
foundation of white satin covered with
black chiffon, and has ends of plated
chiffon in black and white, and with a
cluster of black velvet loops on each.
Both boa and muff are huge, and the
wearer would give the impression of be-
ing costumed in a festiveN fashion,
though her toilette might be otherwise
very simple.
One of the smartest long coats Gt
comes to within five or six inches of the
ground) is the Armenonyille. the name
being taken from the restaurant to
which smart Parisiennes first wore it.
1t figures in everything from an opera
wrap to a rain coat. One great firm
shows fascinating assortment.
Naturally such an edition de luxe of
rain coat is the most notable-notable
because it is the Frenchman's idea of a
rain coat. The shape is on the kimono
order; the sleeves are cut in one with
the front and shoulder, but there's yoke
at the back. The material is lovely and
looks to be satiny peau de cygne on the
face, and to be lightly backed with rub
Der. The whole thing is delightfully."-
light of weight. The smartest of rain
coats come in four colors, delicate beige,
crimson, deep blue and black. The
roomy sleeves xare caught into broad cuffs.
This coat costs $35, but it may be had
in covert surface for $50.
Another Armenonyille-a charming
thing for evening or carriage wear or
the promenade at gay Southern resorts
is of white Himalayan. (Himalayan is
the heavy cloaking zibeline that looks
almost exactly like, baby lamb. A fat
cape collar is of black Persian lamb,
while the rest of the garment is finished
with white broadcloth strappings. Down
the fronts and on the flowing sleeves are
punches of grapes done in white broad
cloth.
Opera wraps are in this same shape,
only they are longer, coming quite to
the floor. The most modish are in cloth
with quilted silken Innings. They are
edged with fur, feather trimming, or soft

Applique coats are both new and old
That is, there are absolutely new coats in
this not new effect. A very interesting
feature of these coats is the fact that
they are made in four thicknesses. Also
that they cannot be altered. as the de-
sign is not drawn until the garment is
cut and sewed.
To explain, the four coats Chats
what it amounts to) go in this wise:
There's the satin lining that's one. Then
the interlining, two. Next is the taffeta
coat proper. And last is a coat of broad
cloth or velours, whichever of these ma
terals is used is traced in the chosen
design, which is then stitched in with
the silk as foundation. Then the de-
sign is cut out You know the effect
1t is always rich. Besides it is SO diff
fcult that everybody suspects it is i'm
ported. As a matter of fact, we have
domestic workers so skilful that it may
be, and is, made right here at home.
You hear much talk about one paper
having "a good design and another hav-
ing "a poor design says 'sThe Pilgrim" :"
Not one person in thousand really
knows what good design is. Yet if you
put a poor design upon your walls you
will injure the effect of your room with
out being able to account for it. Follow
+lr hot vi of lar ror Of n
in buying dress goods; get a plain color,
as always satisfactory" mot likely to
go out Of fashion, and so on. Be wary
in the matter of borders and friezes., In
these a good design is seldom to be had.
Also, they are generally too narrow,
obliging you to put your picture at their
junction with the wall paper, which may
be entirely the wrong place for it. The
right place for a picture moulding is
even with the tops of the different
heights of doors and windows, then it
should be even with the greatest number.
A simple and satisfactory way of
| treating room is to carry the calci-
mine of the ceiling down to the picture
moulding, possibly eighteen inches or
more, and let the paper begin there.
Obviously the ceiling should be one of the
! lightest shades of the paper, or else
cream color Some pretty rooms have been
made by selecting good paper frieze and
calcimining or painting the rest of the
wall to match one Of its darker colors.
If the frieze is not wide enough, its low
er edge may be set at the proper height
and the ceiling color carried down to its
/ upper edge. The upper edge of leaves
of some other irregularity may even be
cut out before pasting it upon the wall.
Only French or German cook fully
understands the value of garlic. Used
i properly, it gives q more delicate flavor
than onion. Here is way to use it with
tomatoes:-Wash six tomatoes and cut
: them in two. Lay the pieces cut side
! down, in a pan with hot butter, and let
them cook slowly few minutes.
| Sprinkle them with pepper and salt and
/ two cloves of garlic chopped very fine.
Cover the pan closely and cook them un-
4 til the tomatoes are soft.
