NEW YEARS FASHIONS OF PARIS

itself as if it were a hemstitched ia
blecloth. Above the drawn work was
embroidered design done in rose COL
ored crewels. A rose hued belt of suede
fastened with a large, square rose coral
buckle finished the original touches on
this delightful gown.
A picture frock in blue mousseline
velours is a beautiful restaurant tot
let. The new lapis lazuli is the best
+, blue of all-Italian sea and sky blue
in hue, which is neither navy, royal or
turquoise, but combines the virtues of
all three. The skirt of this gown has
no trimming to mar it's glorious full
ness, and dignity of mien is added to
the corSage by a bertha of ivory toned
Flanders lace and great buttons of
carved lapis lazuh. With it goes a hat
with a jam pot crown in old ivory
toned felt lined with lapis lazuIi beaver
and an oval buckle holding a couple of
sweeping feathers shading from blue
to ivory. Could anything be more
charming than this costume?
Paris looks as though the days of the
first empire had returned, so univer-
sal has the wearing of violets become;
not as a corsage flower but as an or
namentation on the smart new hats.
In several shades, punches of these
blossoms adorn many of the tricorne
hats.
Ribbon rosettes, which are so popu-
lar on hats, are being employed with
quite as much success on dressy gowns.
An afternoon frock of crepe de chine
was trimmed with f1ounces of coarse
lace headed with rows of ribbon ro-
settles.
In the world of furs this year we
have so far seen little or nothing of
stone marten pelt. Now it is brought
forward as a demiseason novelty. The
cream and white of this hitherto neg
lected fur are very becoming, and pei
crime fichu and enormous pillow muff
destined later for wear on the Riviera
are things of beauty. This set is made
up entirely of the marten skin, and it
| is a positive relief not to see in one set
a mixture of furs. Nowadays the char
acteristics of different fur bearing an
imals never seem to be let alone. They
swap heads and tails and are mixed up
! in a sort of happy family at the fair
manner. Fur garments are betrimmed,
becorded and betasse1ed until all the
graciousness and the value" of the
skin is lost.
| In the matter of jewels emeralds are
the favorites, and when one cannot af-
ford these expensive gems peridots are
an excellent substitute. I saw such a
charming hair ornament the other day
of all green iridescent Mercury wings
divided by heart! Did it mean that
hearts take to themselves wings and
fly away, 1 wonder? Anyway, these
hiers will be very pretty while they
light on beauty's head.
The most stunning ornament for
wavy tresses is a twist of tulle to
match ones hair, with a, pair of dia-
mond tassels with dangling fringes to
finish it off. These tassels are awfully
attractive also as a finish for a tulle
/ knot at ones throat. The five diamond
stars we thought so fetching a little
while ago-where are they? AS we'll
inquire about the SHOWS of yesteryear.
4 So, you see, we are as tickle in our
fashions as we are in our fancies.

lines work together for good, the peler-
inc stole may be cited. The long stole
ends in this popular garment balance
the wide cape effect, and the blending
is most successful Still another ex-
ample is found in the double decker
skirts, which to obviate the horizontal
line have wide strappings running over
their three tiers from waist to hem.
Just now Zine" is a more restraining
motive than color" Indeed, one might
say that color has never at any time
much to do with chic. 1 saw a woman
the other day in a coat and hat of a
beautiful red shade which if cut and

worn correctly would have been a
charming costume. In this instance,
with every line in the coat hopelessly
wrong and the hat tilted at an impos-
sble angle, the effect was anything
but pleasing. Just beside henry two
types were seated at a concert-was a
girl dressed entirely in black, but so
artistic and charming in silhouette
that she was altogether chic.
Bands of cloth or of any dress fabric
stitched by machine in rows of solid
colored silk or different shades of one
color and others of harmonizing tones
of many colors are used as trim
ming on the most exclusive toilets.
These bands are inserted on some
gowns between other bands of fur, and
the combination is singularly good.
Variety of very original character
gave spice to a useful day gown de-
signed by Doeuillet. This dainty frock
was of rather coarse and wiry mole
colored canvas. On the skirt and waist
were insertions of drawn work made
by pulling the threads of the canvas

a different phase of the same animal
subject. For this contest a written de-
Scription of not over fifty words of
some animal, keeping the name a Sc
cret, is required of the players. At the
end of five minutes these descriptions
are passed around the table. The two
players who discover the name of the
animal described in the paper of two
other contestants pass at a touch of
the bell to the third table.
Here the object is to guess an ami
mails name by means of chips. Each
chip has a letter on it, and they are
turned letter face down on the board.
The players in turn lift one of these
chips and call out an animal whose
name begins with the letter revealed.
The person first to name an animal
scores a point The two to whose cred
it the greatest number of points can
be placed triumphantIy move up as the
bell sounds to the last and decisive
head table
The fourth game is founded upon a
series of puzzle cards. each card rep
resenting in a picture or pictures an
animal. For example. a seal could be
depicted with an envelope closed and
sealed with wax, or, to make matters
a little more complicated, an impos-
ing legal document is drawn up and a
great seal affixed in the lower corner.
A hare is easily represented by the
picture of a woman with beautiful long
hair These cards are passed from
hand to hand and examined, and when
| a player discovers the meaning of a
picture he announces the name and
claims the card. AS at the other ia
/ bles, the two persons holding the great
est number of cards succeed, and when
the total is summed up the two players
who have made the best score at all
the tables get the prizes.
The quickest and simplest way to
make the puzzle picture is to collect a
! lot of advertising pages from maya
zines, and in a short time the art work
is ready.
The home tally cards are pieces of
water color cardboard cut and coIored

When the game is over and the new
year has been cordially welcomed with
toasts and greetings the materials used
in the games are cleared away. and the
pretty centerpiece and flowers on the
tables are in place for the little supper
which follows.

find ten small visiting cards, on which
are written mysterious words. These
words, the hostess explains, are names
of we'll known animals with the letters
twisted around in confusing fashion.
At first sight the word is almost I'M
recognizable For instance, elephant
might be written patenleh, and so on.
Pencil and paper are placed on the
table. The cards are passed from one
person to another, and each player
tries to disentangle the words.
Ten minutes are allowed for the
reading of the riddles, and at the ex-
piration of that time when the bell
rings the two players who have worked
out the greatest number of animal
names progress to the next table.

RAARlS, dec. 1Z.-lI all the SOOd
wishes for a happy new year
could be realized what a de-
n lightful place the world at large
and Paris in particular would
be! Happiness is a relative term, but
surely some of the staple features of
this estate are health, sufficient wealth,
inefficient attempts on the part Of fate
to worry us, old friends unchanged and
new friends that will grow into old
ones. All these good things we doubt
less would possess were we masters of
our fate. But IS we all are not dar-
lings of the gods we take the gifts
they provide and make a virtue of ne
cessity. Since in the heart of every
woman worthy the name the success
of her clothes is bound up with her
happiness let our New Years greetings
extend to my lady's wardrobe. May
she be beautifully and becomingly at
tired through the coming year, Sar-
torial belongings are said to contribute
merely to material well being, but
even so they are not to be despised-
1t seems to me that there is a decided
mental uplift to be gained from chic
costume, and it is no display of weak
ness to acknowledge this clothes prop.
In going the rounds of the gay CAPT
tai where smart society most does
congregate a glance at the fair women
arrayed in their stunning new winter
clothes gives one the impression of
time having turned backward in its
fight. The mise en- scene is as it
should be; the auto cars, flying ma
chimes, wireless telegraphy and the
modern improvements are all decidedly
1903 and almost 1904, but the women
in their 1880 gowns are anachronisms.
To be sure, these Victorian effects have
To "a
tury's needs. A return to Victorian
fashions in their entirety would mean
a return to the dropping narrow Shout
der line too often seen before athletics
became part of woman's life.
1t is a question whether the women
of today would give up their proud
breadth of shoulder and deep breath
ing for any fad of fashion. In the pres
ent revived modes we retain all these
athletic privileges and achieve the old
world air as well, thanks to the skill
and ingenuity of clever designers. 1t
is one of the signs of the times that
these 1880 ideas were brought out by
the Paris dressmakerS more than
year ago, but it is only this season that
they are making their appearance felt
to any great extent.
The quaint styles of the days that
are no more are particularly pretty for
the ball costume, evening frock and
ever useful house gown.
We are not restricted, however, to
one era, and the many mindedness of
modes at once both helps and binders
ones choice. Steering is more difficult
in these conflicting tides. For instance,
the horizontal line is an all important
factor in the smart costume just now.
At the same time the perpendicular
has its decided influence; indeed, both
lines are often to be seen in the same
gown. Perpendicular lines introduced
with the horizontal correct the short
ening and widening effect of the latter
in fact, enable a short woman to
stand a horizontally decorated cos
tune.

Four tables with polished tops will

small square of lace or a dainty dolly
of some kind is placed in the center of

be different, one vase holding holly, an
other mistletoe and the other two poip-
settias and carnations. The general
progression of the animal game is ar

This day is the only Sunday in the en-
tire Celestial year, and the people stop

everything. The presents given are
wrapped in red paper, and the signs

with red lights which the Chinaman
burns to scare away the devils of mis-
fortune and any evil which might Turk

members of the occidental race would
find embarrassing is that of being
obliged to pay all debts on New Years

ten o'clock large hay wagon arrived
at the camp for the boys; il had been

in time for the morning service and were
given places in the choir. After the
service they returned to camp and were

camp suffered no damage and its camp

Upon the contrary, it served as a refuge

well and will break camp upon Wednes-
