The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-11-23

Why the fol-de-rols of dress should
be coupled with the day on which we
give thanks to Heaven for its mercies
is something that cannot entirely lie
explained. But here are the signs in
the shop windows:
Thanksgiving waists "Thanksgiv-
ing gowns" Thanksgiving hats"
Petticoats with the prefix were
wanting, but finding some short, warm
bright undehskirts it pleased a wan
dering woman to give them the timely
title.
These petticoats were in hand-knit-
ted German wool and coarse silk
comfortable, homely things that the
sensible school girl would take TO if
she has a country home to visit at
Thanksgiving. The gowns, which were
of a stout outing variety, combined
we'll with them: and the fat French
sailor hats, simple trimmed, jaunty
and youthful, topped the useful out

For the rest it was quite plain from
the framing of some of the window
exhibits that the football game, which
is always a feature of Thanksgiving
had been considered. Surrounded Ivy

forming the round yoke, the cuffs and

the stock like brooch. Three others,
posed at the same diamond angle, or

which fastened under the left arm.

coats slit up the sides Japanese kimo-
mas. Shades of the Mandarins, hear
them! They are no less than the
splendidly embroidered garments
which once did duty upon the shoulders
of some Chinese mandarin of wealth
and distinction.

people, as he lifted a splendid Manda-
by adding chiffon puffs, in the wide
sleeves, ARE the very newest things

The kimona coats often have larger
flowers in heavier styles of embroid-
cry upon them, and are finished in a
style peculiarly their own. These are
not slit up the sides, but fasten in
front or to one side.
Flannel and silk shirtwaists trimmed
with Persian bands are among popu-
lar novelties in the Oriental line. and
all manner of Oriental silks come all
ready embroidered for making I'D
waists.
Oriental bands for trimming all sorts
of costumes are quite the vogue, and
are made so that they will combine
with almost any color and material.
Nor are silk Japanese and Chinese
doilies despised as a means of trim
ming dresses. The borders and corners
are cut off and these constitute trim
ming. The most elegant gowns, how
ever, are the ones which are appliqued
with punches of flowers cut from a
Chinese garment, often with panels
from a Chinese skirt set in the skirt.
Not less beautiful are the silk GAUGES
embroidered over with garlands of
small flowers in delicate shades, like
faint visions Of flowers seen through
a rose-colored mist. Sometimes the
gauze gives the effect of a pale cloud
of blue, silver or gray.
If the silk brocades and gauzes are
lovely, words can hardly do justice to
the japanese obs, magnificent brocad-
ed silks of the heaviest and stiffest
quality; with embroidery which gilt
ters with the subdued glow of old gold
and which is so rich that it literally
stands up. These obs run from 81 to
$40 yard. and show marvellous de-
signs of chrysanthemums, Japanese
foliage, wistaria. and strangely inter-
woven patterns that are harmonies of
soft colors. While some very elegant
gowns can be made of obs, they are
used, for the most part. TO face and
trim coats and elaborate the decorative
scheme OF rich costumes.
Not only do gowns and coat Is show
the Oriental style of decoration. but
hats are stuck with large Oriental
pins. Oriental purses. Jewels. chains
and card cases find a part in the new
costuming. Oriental embroidery appear
upon slippers and shoes. and touches

a blouse jacket plainly stitched. With
all this modesty the postillion fan at
the back of the belt seemed veritable
magnificence.
Three dainty little waists gave other
hints for effects to be obtained by sim
pie methods. A bodice in Sevres blue
delaine was made radiant by a black
embroidery outlining it's scattered
round flowers. The only other trim
ming was a bias band in plain blue,
which, running completely around
the shoulders of the bodice,
took a jagged. lightning line at
the side busts. At the front this band
dipped very low, with the falling-of

age. A smoked pearl button fastened
one tapping end.

The oldest beauty recipe in the world
has lately been tried by an up-to-date
American girl with highly successful
results. The girl has not bounded into
public notice as famous beauty since
using the recipe found among Egyp-
tian hieroglyphics, for she possesses &
retrousse nose and certain other un-
classical characteristics: but she has
surprised her friends by changing a
sallow complexion to a radiantly trans
parent one with infantile softness and
texture, and rounding out her figure.
whose exceeding angularity had been
a family joke for years. Moreover, and
much to her delight, a dimple hereto
fore undiscovered has made it's appear
ance in her cheek. And all this she has
accomplished within three weeks
time.
This girl who, just now, is thinking
and dreaming of nothing else except
her new found beauty discovered by
accident the recipe that has worked
such changes in her figure. While turn
ing over the pages of a scientific jour-
nal one day she found a few para
graphs stating that a learned Egyp-
tologist and student of medieval liter

mysteries of the ancients. had I'M
earthed a secret which proved to be
an infallible remedy for burying in
artistic angles beneath fgure-g giving
flesh. The journal went on to state
that a certain oriental ruler who lived
and loved more than two thousand
years ago and, therefore, can be par
doned for his lack of admiration for
the present prevailing artistic thin
ness. was responsible for the existence
of the connection by one day sending
forth a declaration that physical
plumpness would be the supreme test

the chosen fair was considered a priv
ilege, so papas and mamas, assisted by
their eligible offspring, began iTnme-
Giate experiments with fattening
foods.
At last the discovery was made of a
plant growing in Asia Minor, the seed
of which, after being ground and made
into cakes, had remarkable fattening
qualities. The potentate who had
made fat women fashionable thereafter
had plenty of them in his harem. Aft
er his death, however, the mode for
obesity passed and the secret, no long
er useful, was forgotten, only to be
brought to light again in the twentieth
century by a scientist, who. after a
years research, has found the mys-
terious plant to be none other than a
we'll known American product--com-
mon alfalfa. And the journal conclud-
ed the article by stating that a person
living on a diet of alfalfa seeds was
said to have gained nine pounds in
eight days.
Drowning men and thin women
clutch at straws. The girl closed the
book with a bang decided at once to
give this fattening seed, this beauty
secret of the harenn, a fair trial. Dim
Piles have always been one of her hob
bies. Nine pounds in eight days! Sure
ly a week of alfalfa seed diet would
bring her up to the dimple standard.
She grabbed her hat and ran for the
nearest grain and feed store where the
man eyed her suspiciously when she
boldly called for ten pounds of alfalfa
seeds.
