the hip, but Immediately becoming easy,
graceful and full below the point Of the
hip, the new skirts fall thence straight
and graceful to the ground. There are
three lengths. One which does not touch,
a modification of our practical but not
feminine rainy day idea. 1t is ankle
length, and is beautiful, tasteful, graceful
and easy. The next skirt touches the
ground-just touching, but still very
swinging, easy and artistic in it's form.
The third skirt is the trained affair. which
is always artistic, as the evolved modifi-
cation of the classic, draped attire. You
may not understand it as such, but the
trained skirt is the artistic skirt; not
necessarily the ballroom train, nor the
sweeping, three-yard affair, but the six
to eight inch train is graceful it is femin-
inc and it does make the figure look taller,
and it does invest the wearer with the at
mosphere of sanctity of sex, which the
more masculine, more abrupt, less grace
full forms can never expect to attain.
Next to the face comes all the rich
ness. The bust line must; always be the
limit below which trimness is the form
and above which elaboration is the idea.

The whole keynote and all the novelty
for Partisan and American style is velvet
and velveteen. Velour Anglais is the
French name. It means English velvet or
velveteens made Of cotton. The plant,
beautiful quality Of the American fiber
transformed into a. pile fabric is superior
to silk velvet in many Of its phases. It
has none of that unfortunate crfspiness
and stiffness which characterizes silk pro-
duction. It is more plant less brilliant
and more suited to general wear than any
other pile fabric yet made. The great
French dressmaker was quick to see an
advantage in the new fabric. The Eng
lish manufacturer rapidly produced a won
drous collection Of dainty, neat, printed,
dotted, splashed and other artistic effects
in this new fabric which are SO chic and SO
attractive, SO effective in the costume
itself. SO quickly adapted by the artist
for all chosen customers. To our credit,
be it said, that America first understood
this and used a great quantity Of these
beautiful velveteens last winter. New
York especially and New York's best

dressed women used printed, neat effects,
hollow cut cords or corduroys, and later
in the season. a great deal of black vel
veteen for 1;dressy occasions and street
wear. Nothing SO rich for the money had
ever presented itself to mademoiselle who
liked handsome clothes at moderate ex-
pense. .-....- ~

the lace wrap in it's circular form of black
@Chantilly over beautiful colored. silk, the
front relieved by magnificent plaitings in
two contrasting shades Of yellow, over
which fall long loops and streamers Of
black velvet ribbon. Yellow is the novel
shade. 1t is the center Of attraction Of
the trimming tints. It contrasts well with
the black and white, mixes <artistically
with greens and blues and other FORMS
and is the golden contrast upon which the
most beautiful ideas are developed The

1t is the trimming Of the upper waisk

-ture which is a fit setting for the face.
It is in studying the beautiful wraps,

that one observes that the artist and
modiste have made this the point of their
entire effort.
The point of all costumes, the point Of
attractiveness, of insinuating and strong
effect of novelty, is, however, the sleeve.
Next to the face, expression is most seen
in the hand. Again the artist and stu
dent have been at work and the conse-
quence is that you will observe in the
cuffs, in the form Of sleeves and in the
beauty Of their construction the highest
emphasis of the style of the season. The
.paquin, with it's voluminous and grand
elaboration of white Irish lace and velvet
ribbon, shows to what an extent such
matters may be brought without sacri-
f1cing one whit the beauty Of the attire.
In fact it is this sleeve which is at once
artistic and picturesque.

PROPER CHRISTMAS GIVING
THE SHOPS ARE BEING AND UNIQUE TRI
FLEs-UsEFUL PRESENTS HAVE NO PLACE AT CHRISTMAS
T1ME-A GIFT SHOULD BE MORE CHARACTERISTIC OF
THE RECIPIENT THAN OF THE GIvER

The women who does not receive a long
chain win be In a hopeless minority, for
they are being sold by the, hundreds.
They are Of all kinds from the Indian bead
work through the gun metal and silver
beads to the solid gold, set with sweet
water pearls, amethysts. coral or topaz.
Strings of coral range in price from IS to
$50, but the imitation beads may be
bought for a mere trifle and only an expert
can tell the difference.
Rings and pins are always sold In large
numbers, but here, too. the quaintness Of
the design is considered quite as much as
the jewel. There seems to be a revival of
the amethyst and topaz and they are
found In cuff buttons, bangles, pendants
and pins The belt pins and buckles are
decidedly stunning and show silver
twisted in all sorts Of knots and set with
enamel in stranger splotches, the. whole
making a. most effective bit of decoration
for any woman.
You should buy gift for another as
you would have another buy a gift for
you. A Christmas gift Is not expected to
be a formal present, but a simple remem-
brance that will not burden one with a
lot of things which there Is no place for,
either in ones apartments or affections.
Mr.. Dooley's suggestion Of a Christmas
clearing house in which one box of cigars
would discharge the obligations of a dozen
or more men is worth considering when
one thinks Of the useless things that SO
many people receive. Mrs. Blank pur-
chases fifty articles, because she has a list
of that many names. When the things
are all together she picks out somethoinss
for John and something for Mary and sc
fills out her list. A certain sum of money
but no individual taste Is expended in
each gift.
1t isn't so much the money value but
the suitableness of a gift that appeals
to one. That is why one girls presents
are sure to be popular although they will
cost her mighty little. She has taken
some snuff jars, the dull green ones, and
! washed and cleaned them until not a sus-
picon of their original purpose remained

Christmas shoppers throng the streets
and crowd the shops and on every face is
an anxious expression that plainly shows
that the Christmas list is by no means
complete. The shops lend ready aid, for
never was there mere bewildering va
riety of pretty trihes; but perhaps 1t Is
the quantity which brings confusion. 1t
is easy enough to make up cne's mind
what to take when the choice is narrowed
down to one, but the problem which of
half a dozen will best suit Julia or John
is maddening.
1t is rather interesting to watch the
methods Of different women in their holt
day buying. Men have but one method
and that is to throw themselves on the
mercy of the shopkeeper and pray that
he Is right. But there are as many ways
of shopping as there are women and each
one Is a firm advocate of her own plan.
They all have lists, more or less confusing
from which they raise puzzled faces in a
vain endeavor to find help somewhere.
But all this worry and excitement is a
part of the holiday season.
Pretty things are so reasonable this
year that 1t seems as If everybody might
be remembered with something to satisfy
the eye as we'll as the needs and as
though there would be no excuse for the
strictly useful gift" which is an abomi-
nation at Christmas time. Christmas is
rejoice when one receives only flannel and
shoes and aprons? Serviceable things
must be bought all through the year, but
there is just one season in which one can
conscientiously give full expression to
ones innate love Of beauty. 49,.
A gift must not only be pretty this year,
but it must be odd and something decid-
eddy unique, which will not be duplicated
In every house in town is what everybody
IS hunting for. The merchants foresaW
the quest and in consequence they have
prepared an unusual line of novelties and
carry only a few Of each to make them
more exclusive. 4t.-
One notices this especially at the jew
eler's. The silver trifles are all modelled
after most artistic patterns and ''Par1
nouveau'' seems to have been the watch
word of the designers.
If one can tell from the shops, the
sweetwater pearl has lost none of its
popularity. for it comes in all sorts OF
trinkets from the scarf pins, which. are
wonderfully pretty at a dollar, to rings
pendants and chains ranging into the
thousands. There is really nothing more
attractive than these pearls for their ir-
regular shapes lend themselves wonder
fully we'll to all sorts. of of designs.

And quickly moves her pretty hands
To mix the sweet and sour;
While he, enlisted her recruit,
Sits gay and shilling by,
And pares and cores the rudy fruit
To make an apple pie.
Last May they fingered side by side
Beneath the hlossomed bough,
And picked the fruit at autumn-t tide
All ripe and rosy now;
And gathering apples he and she
A task SO blissful found,
That orchard tree, it needs must be

Now when the pie is passed around
What time the good folk dine,
And all agree they never found
A recipe SO fine,
Do any guess reason why
All, twas no common spice,
The favor of that apple pie
Came straight from Paradise.
