Priceless Carpets.
From the London Taller.

FROM L0HuOl 1HtIeT
The German emperor's visit to Lowther
Castle has called attention to magnifi-
cent carpet, now very old, but still lovingly
preserved, which was made in the village by
villagers. A much more interesting and
generally unknown carpet is that which is
treasured by Sir Tatton Sykes at SIedmere.
This relic was made at Wansford, near
Drifield, for the library of Sir Mark Sykes,
who died in 1929 1t is 100 feet long and 40
feet wide, and is as fresh in It's beautiful
coloring today as it was century ago. 1t
is irreplacable as the factory where it was
made was burned down some ninety odd
wears ago. At Siedmere there is also a
priceless inlaid table of Venetian workman
shin. very like the beautiful specimen at
warwick Castle, which is valued at 10000
guneas.

M|DW|NTER STYLES

THE BEST ARE RETAINED AND

Hints.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star

NEW YORK, January 1, 1908.
January is not a month when one looks
for new styles, but just now winter fash
ions take a second start with variations on
established effects. Modes which seemed
perfect enough in the beginning bloom
with unexpected touches" and these, with
their novelty and becomingness, reveal the
fact that improvements can always be
made. Nowhere is this more pronounced
than with evening clothes, which grow
daily more surprising, numberless new
motives showing in dinner bodices, espe-
cially.
Invented originally for purposes of econo-
my, the odd dinner waist has been made
legitimate by smart approval, and with
plain velvet silk and cloth skirts for ac-
compartment they are now worn by many
stylish women. The fad, however, still
has it's economical side. for. if some of the
waists are very splendid, others are simple

enough, and with single black skirt three
will make the evening wardrobe seem lux
uriously lavish
Perhaps the best skirt for all-round even
Ing use is the one of black silk point es-
prit, which fashionable textile black ribbon
velvet trims prettily. The velvet and silk
skirts worn with odd waists are usually
made very plain, and. with a white bodice
of any sort, white cloth skirt is consid-
cred the last notch of elegance.
AS to the waists themselves lowness of
cut and picturesqueness Of effect are their
salient features. Their sleeves are elabo-
top-arm very tightly and dropping in great
puffs at the wrist, or flowing in founees
at the elbow. With these limitations to
length-for few really short sleeves are
seen-the models take TO unnumbered kinks
for variety.
Effective Details.
Three charming bodices, recently turned
out by fashionable dressmaker for dinner
use, display effective details.
Nile green gauze, spangled with sequins,
in metallic shade of blue, composes one.
The long. transparent sleeves hang In the
prevailing puff and they are finished at the
wrist with shaped fiounces of white gauze
edged with lace, unique bertha band about

netting. But tinsel pendeloques finish the
lower points of the diamonds and mingle

career. Born in Iowa of old-fashioned,
religious parents, her talents in the
dramatic line were carefully suppressed.

ity. He says that it comes naturally to
him. and that but little time is neces-

any instrument. Hearing or playing a

George AIDES Airy Fancy Flies o'er

One OF the surprises furnished the
critics by George AIDE when his merry
satire THE Sultan OF Sulu" was pro-
duced in New York was his ability to
write real fun in verse. as well as in
prose. Mr.. AIDES admirers had not sus-
pected that the writer of the "Artie'
stories had aught of poesy rhyme in
his versatile brain. His rhymes range
from burlesque nursery doggerel to am
bilious descriptive verse Out of the
twenty-five musical numbers at least a
dozen we're decided hits.

between Gertrude Quinlan. as Chiquita,
