charming and becoming. The idea could be
carried out in various shades and fabrics.
A yellow Grape. for instance, would be
fetching with Irish lace and narrow bla ok
velvet ribbon. OF course only a slim woman
may successfully don this clinging style of
dress. Fortunately nowadays We are all
slim If properly corseted.
For the older women-you know there are
no really old women nova black lace
gown is useful and appropriate one. The
effect is heightened if the lace is mounted
over white silk. The skirt should be very

Use for Old Shawls.
If one owns lace shawl a charming
dress may be evolved from 1t. The long
point forms an apron effect on the front of
the skirt, and high slope is gained in the
back, where the ends of the shawl are cut
off. The space al the sides and back is
filled in with ruff1es of silk or anything one
may fancy. From the ends of the shawl
and the piece cut off the length enough of
the lace is left to make a pretty waist.

Lost Time.

From the Toronto Mail and Empire
If one grain of sand on the shore of the
ocean were lost and scientists were to spend
years in trying to find it, they would be at
tempting a task resembling that to which
leading astronomers OF England and France
are now devoting themselves
One-sixteenth of second is missing, and
no one can tell where it has gone. Between
the suns time, as recorded at Greenwich
and understood at Paris. there is that
brief and seemingly unimportant discrep-
ancy. No expense is being spared to trace
the missing fraction. A special building
has been erected at Paris, costly instru-
ments installed, a corps of mathematicians
engaged and process that may take years
to complete has been commenced The in
accuracy is more important than will ap-
pear to the nationality of thousands of peo-
pie. The pursuit of the missing fraction of
a second is therefore of world wide import
ance. We shall all be much relieved when
it has been found for then not a grain Of
the sands of time will be missing.

the elements are in league with the dress
makers, and evening wraps have to be pro-
vided.
These creations are wonderfully beautiful.
Far and away the most luxurious of them
are the all-fur ones. A sable Is the acme
of chic and extravaganza. Only the very
rich may indulge in a trifle of this kind
The average woman is obliged to content
herself with a collar of this fur. The Jaw
of compensation applies here as always,
for the silk or cloth wrap has a graceful
ness never possible in the fur one. These
paletots are all built on very much the
same lines-long. loose and graceful. Some
of them have deep plaits all round. and
wide box plat back and front. The sleeves
are generally of the kimono sort, large aud
comfortable and easy to slip on without
disarranging the fluffiness underneath.
Ermine on White Cloth.
white cloth wrap seen was distinguish
ed by the addition of half sleeves and collar
of ermine. Chiffon softened it around the
| neck, while cords and tassels down the
front lent the dangling effect which is
much in evidence in the sartorial world.
The other day a woman VINO has just come
back from China showed me a beautiful
evening cloak made in that country. It
was almost exact reproduction of the
kimono, with few notifications, princi-
pally about the neck. The material was
brocaded silk of ar indeScribable gold color,

Maltese lace formed deep shoulder collar,
and the high neck collar was of sable, with

The wrap was held together with an old
Russian clasp. The lining was heavy white
corded silk.
All kinds of fabrics are used for these
wraps; even the old, much-Worn eiderdown

TOILET ACCESSORIES
A Formidable List for the
Well-Dressed Woman.
s M A R T N EGLIGES
JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE
STOCKS AND BELTS.
Timely Hints in Making UP Plain
and Fancy Neck
Finishes

Written for The Evening Star.
Along with the other extravagances of the
season, stocks and belts, negliges and all
the other accessories of a wo,nan's toilet
are very expensive. In order to secure nov
elites exclusive dealers are having every
thing embroidered and made by hand and
and bits of real lace. This brings up the
price Incredibly and bars everyone except
a very rich woman from enjoying the chic
things that are SO fashionable and so neces-
sary a part of her wardrobe.
But clever women have found ways out
of this difficulty as out OF others. and their
ingenuity has evolved some charming and
original stocks and collars and belts, often
in sets that include cuffs. If woman can
afford one or two correct models in stocks.
her eye for color and design will do the
supply at comparatively small cost. In
hand embroidered stocks the woman of
leisure has a decided advantage, for she
counts her time as nothing in money value.
The work is tedious in comparison with the
show 1t makes, and only the initiated APP
preciate the difference between those and
the mere ordinary ready-made articles.
One Of the very Smartest stocks makes
woman look bit like Lutheran parSon-
in fact, it has some such clerical name. 1t
is a severe collar band that fastens in the
back with two tab ends in front just like
the linen affair that the abbes and dominies
in old pictures wear. Its style is in its SIM
plicity. The young fresh face above
stock of this sort has marked advantage
over every other: it is either extremely be-
coming the reverse.

Curious old embroidered silk collarettes,

They are unique and eccentric in all the old,

Paris and London. Only two or three pri-

Decorative Touches.

These stocks must be embroidered or COW
cred with lace or something which will ap-
plique fat, and it is possible to make a re-
markable variety on. of this one pattern 1t
is equally good in silk, linen, muslin or lace,
and in any color that is becoming. Black
in silk or linen is strikingly pretty en-
broidered in white. The effect is almost
good and the work much less if fine lace or
embroidery applique in white Is sewn fiat
on the black foundation. Cuffs that are
trimmed to match the stock are about two
and half inches wide, are finished on both
edges and pinned on the outside of the
sleeve. OF course, these are properly worn
with very simple gown or shirt waist.
Heavy linen in white, embroidered in white
or black or colors, and the same stuff in
black, or some delicate shade, make charm
ing stocks and cuffs.
For stock to wear with a more elaborate
gown, silk or lace is best, and the variety
of styles and shapes is remarkable. There
have never been SO many, and 1t is because
such high-priced talent and labor is neces-
sary to make the dainty things that their
prices are so high. The whole standard of
dress has become SO high that fineness of
detail and in quality of materials is the
main point, and nothing else passes for good
dressing.
One Of the more elaborate soft stocks is
genuine economy, for 1t embeliishes the

Paradoxical as 1t sounds, the fancest
stocks are the easiest to make, for the fit
need not be as perfect as with the severely
simple ones. The manner of constructing

Lace and Chiffon.
A piece of lace is laid in slight folds over

white or some delicate color.
Black velvet ribbon is sometimes very eff
