Apples, decidedly realistic in form and
colortlg. decorate a toque of dark red
cloth from a Partisan house; cerise velvet
and black lace mingle with the fruit.
The Jersey skirts. both in silk and wool,
are very much liked, as they fit the hips
so closely. and a shaped founce of colored
silk edged with one or more ruches is the
finish.

the street where the bridegroom lived with
white paper cut in the form of gloves and

The bestowing Of the brides garters is
probably a relic of the very ancient Gus
tom of untying the brides girdle immedi-
ately after the wedding and bestowing 1t
on some favored friend. Formerly the
garter Tor garters, as many were often
used) were given by the bride to some
young men as a mark OF favor and some
authorities quote this as the probable be-
ginning of 1.-The Order Of the Garter"
rather than the more familiar legend. The
only a~llusion to the throwing OF the shoe
in former times is an account of a we'd
ding in 1910. in which the sole Of the
groom's shoe was placed on the brides
head, indicating submission.
Every country has particular legends
and superstitions on this subject and every
usage connected with the wedding had its
origin as a symbol of some sentiment.

For little girls in mourning these sets are
fashionable details, which, however. only
the rich can afford. 1t stands to reason that
anything favored by courts cannot be worn
by the many.
Varieties I'm Wraps.
Sweet woman has set her heart this win
ter on loose-htting wraps OF all descrip-
lions. The three-quarter box coats are
more easy than ever, hanging in many in
stances, with an almost gathered look all
around. One stylish model revealed this
looseness at Just the right degree and a
smart point with the coat was a novel yoke
outlining. This was made by a heavy stitch
ing, curving somewhat high at the back,
and running down the fronts to the bot
tom Of the garment. Mixed black and white
cheviot was the material Of the coat, which
showed collar and cuff Innings Of black SOU
tache braid. Long slit pockets opened at
the sides and the mannlsh turnover collar
and bell sleeves were comfort giving fen
lures.

vision was a coffee jacket Of unusual dainti-
ness. For all tea gowns and tea jackets,

other name was a veritable blossom in
color-sllk, lace and embroidery, all in the
brightest marigold yellow. The silk was
the soft liberty variety, laid in small tucks
to form a short yoke and ~three-quarter
length sleeves. Deep frills in a gossamer
embroidery Git seemed to be mousseline)
shaped a jacket effect from the yoke and
full sleeve founces. Around the square yoke
went a band of crocheted silk lace, a Shout

other heading the flowing iounces. And all
this, mind you, over a complete under
blouse of the marigold silk, laid in fine
kits.
"Thirty-fve dollars" said the pretty
saleswoman, and the inquirer amiably re-
sponded Cheap at that"
This shop, by the way, is famed for grace

designs. A soft shade of sage green is a
frequent tint observed among the wool
models, which include clinging bedroom
robes with silk doublings in the same shade.
The Innings of these are very soft and thin,
showing in a capuchin hood and under the
open fronts of the gown. The closing is
made by tapping the fronts bath robe fash

Triumphs over Their Eastern Sisters
Explained by an Expert.
A New York theatrical manager has no.
ticed for some time that western girls
succeed better on the stage than their east
ern sisters. After giving some consider
alton to this circumstance-which Sur
prised him a good deal, he being an east
ern mamie has arrived at the conclusion
that the west is the east revitalized.
ITO the world of art he says, the
western girl brings a breeziness and fresh
ness which carry her along over obstacles
which others have come to regard as in
surmountable. From the breath of the west
she steps into the road ruts of the east
and never knows they are there. She is
Of the second generation, whose fathers
burst the bonds of eastern narrowness and
took to the strength and breadth of the
west. She is strong physically and men
tally. There is a fearlessness about her
which leads her to investigate where Others
are passive.
Not long since, noticing one Of these
girls who look at life through the eyes
OF nature, standing in the wings night after
night, watching the performance, / asked
her why she was not in her dressing room,

superstitions may be dehed on all occasions,
but these. A wedding without blue garters
and rice and old shoes is almost II not quite
as bad as Hamlet. with the Prince OF Den
mark out of the caste. But, although every
body knows what should be done to pro-
pitiate the good fairies. few have any idea
of the origin Of the hundred and one Gus
toms attending the wedding day.
The use of the ring is, without doubt,
the most ancient and symbolic accessory
Of the celebration OF marriage. So prev
alent is the feeling regarding its indispen-
stability that strange substitutes have been
used in cases OF emergency when the con
ventionsl hoop of gold had been forgotten.
Curtain rings and key rings have done duty,
and a more personal substitute has often
been devised by cutting a ring from the
bridegroom glove.
Anciently a ring marked an once Of great
dignity, being worn only by a king or given
by him to his messengers, that their au-
thority might be established. As civiliza-
tion advanced and woman's position was
more ohivalrously regarded. the ring was
given her as a token Of the high dignity
bestowed upon her in the marriage eere-
mony.
The choice OF the form Of the ring is for
q twofold resson-the poetic meaning as
cribed to il and the fact that its plain
ness makes IL more practical for constant
use. Among the Egyptians q circle was the
hieroglyphie expression OF eternity. It's
adaptation for use as the marriage token
in preference to a pin or earring or any
other kind OF ornament is said to be that
1t can be worn constantly, and is not put
on with any particular garment; also, that
It is always within sight of the bride, keep
ing the bridegroom in mind,
Various reasons are given for the adop-
tion OF the so-called ring-hnger as the rest,
ing place Of this emblem, and to this usage
also the fanciful and utilitarian minds
have ascribed diverse origins.
The former Interpretation has IL that
the belief was very current, before the days
Of advanced anatomy, that a small artery
ran from this finger to the heart directly.
What could be more TO the purpose OF poet
ical logic than that the wedding ring should
rest there? The choice OF the left hand Il
by some supposed to symbolic the submis-
sion Of the wife to her husband.
The practical mind disposes Of thes,
faneies by suggesting that IN this position
the ring Was more protected from weai
and injury or loss, as the left hand Is no
so much in use as the right, and this hinge
is protected on either side and is capabl,
OF a less degree OF independent actor
than any other finger.

seen, the most fragile nuns veilings and
dull finished chiffons having taken the
place OF 1t for bonnets and wells.
Even the widows cap, that somewhat
too ostentatious rim Of white about the
face, is now, SO to speak, upon the shelf.
Elderly women may wear them IL they
wish, but for the bereaved one whose years

widow should wear nothing which makes
her conspicuous, explain the fashion,
mongers in defense Of this restriction.
Nevertheless. little collars and cuffs Of
sheer white lawn are allowed, and those
who run may read their meaning.
Half-mourning, as 1t is now known, is
often a combination OF black and white
anybody might wear. For example, a
r~adiantly charming gown of square meshed
net was built upon a foundation Of dull
finished white taffeta. The trained skirt
was in straight-cut hounces to the waist,
narrow biases OF black taheta bordering
the three lower ones and stripping a mar
row apron gore with four vertical rows.
The blouse was laid in broad circular tuck,
four at the top Of the sleeves matching.
Full puffs shaped the bottoms Of the
sleeves, with two bands Of taffeta put on
in deep points. A sailor collar Of crocheted
lace trimmed the shoulders OF the bodice,
which opened over a tucked vest Of black
chiffon. Narrow taffeta ribbons tied II
at the bust. and a pointed glrdle of the
taffeta enlshed the waist.

tucks two inches wide for ornaments

sorrowful looking lassie, Of perhaps 8,
wearing a black sash and black hat with
her snowy cloth gown. A boy of 10 was
in the deepest black, relieved by a tan
overcoat with the wide bombazine sleeve

tacle more cheering than otherwise, for
surely to relieve children OF the hideous

New Furs.
Among the new furs is a very inexpen-
sive dyed skin which goes under the name
Of German sable. This quite neatly imi-
tates the more precious pelts, with a little
more red, perhaps, and the markings a
little more pronounced. Nevertheless, for
night wear the long German sable coats
are admirable purchases, producing a look
Of splendor that deceives any but the con-
noisseur. Short capes and big roll mufs
are likewise seen in this cleverly dyed
fur, with deception abetted by the most
ravishing silk Innings. Brocaded doublings
