by an expensive dressmaker are not avail
able for skimpers, of course, but there Is
no end of made ones that are finely decora-
tive and not costly. Nor is the fault OF
great duplication noticeable, as 1t so often
is in such garnitures. Indeed, it seems just
now as if the manufacturers of such pref
ties had accomplished the distribution of
their product to nicely. And If woman
has her collar, or her collar and cuff set to
herself for her city, what need she care
IL the same is sent also to every other city
in the land? 1t would be a captious pur-
chaser of such dainties at moderate prices
who would expect that she should have
pretty design against all the world. What
may be accomplished with these accesor-
les in the way of dressing the simplest
forms of bodices is illustrated herewith.
There are shown an arrangement of white
silk with enrichment of blue silk cording
and blue silk tassels, collar and cuff set of
white silk finished with black silk plaitings
and pearl buttons, and neck piece of light
green silk with black silk embroidery and
cording. Such affairs are plentiful in silk,

means restricted TO simple waists, for they
appear on the best of evening finery. There,
OF course. they are accompanied by other,
possibly more snowy trimming In the
more costly sorts the amount and complex
ity of the handwork is often amazing.
Touches of silver and of gold appear in
many new trimmings. noticeably in braid,
passementerie and gallon. but there is no
massing OF them and likelihood that
that viii be admitted soon. Certainly no
such richness is needed in passementeries,
which can stand alone on their color effects.
These continue 10 show brilliant shades and
most daring unions. Half the passe-
menteries in which two or more colors are
combined impress the observer at first as
being dangerously mismating in the
matter OF colors. but placed on dress goods
they pass muster easily. The tab finish that
prevails I'm tailoring Is reflected in deep lace
collars. But little while ago these collars
were round. now they have tab finish all

Has a Red Nose.

Unhappy: The skin of the nose Is very
sensitive and sure to herald every physical
disturbance no matter from what cause.
The wearing of tight clothing, nervousness
and dyspepsia all indicated in the skin
of the nose. Morbidness is frequently the
cause of the skin on the nose becoming
coarse and the pores clogged. Consult your
physician and obtain relief from the bilious
attacks to which you are subject; build up
your system by plain and nourishing food,
which you indulge. Exercise freely out of
doors and sleep in a well ventilated room.
Cleanse the stomach each morning by
drinking a pint, If possible, OF hot water
half an hour before breakfast, which will
hasten the restoration of normal conditions.

dscoverable repetition. The fancy for styl-
sh touches inyades every possible sort OF
wrap, being reflected even in such strictly
utilitarian garments as raincoats. One of
these is pictured here by the artist-a brown
cravenette affair, trimmed with braid and
responding to current fashions in the cut of
its sleeves. Possibly the establishment Of
such coats may indicate that the liking
for elaborate outsides is nearing it's end.
but since such a raincoat hasn't a toucn OF
overelaborateness. it hardly can be taken
as very strong evidence OF such condition.
The employment of fringes still is on the
increase. and the newer sorts are Shower
than their predecessors. They're not deep
er, on the average. but include more colored
sorts. and many right off the grlddle are
enriched with beading and like CLINT. Some
made entirely Of beads are seen, but do not
as yet meet with especial favor. Much
fringe and passementerie is put on stylish
furs, and while the general tone of such
trimming usually harmonizes with the color
OF the fur. the trimming may show other
colorings IN inconspicuous quantity. Braids
in big variety. and velvet ribbon
dress trimming is still in evidence. Much
fine evening attire shows trimming of
spangles, which is kept i'm delicate design
for the most part, with no indication OF re-
lapse into the encrustations that would
quite destroy the appearance Of lightness
and softness that is a requisite in an even
ing costume.
While lace collars are as finely decora-
tive ever, they're not as serviceable
medium for women of modest means as
they were last season. The reason for this
is that the collar must be especially large
and fine TO count as of especial value. Very
deep ones with which shoulder slope can
be attained are a majority of those now
seen. But fancy collars and neck fixings of
other sorts are not only new stylishness,
but may be turned to practices of economy.

shirtwaist sleeves.

Mrs. E. B.: The newest shirtwaist sleeves
are cut on the balloon order with the widest
part a trif1e below the elbow and all the
fulness gathered and held well toward the
back of the arm. The dropping, baggy
sleeve with narrow strap cuff is decidedly
out of style. The two-seamed method of
shaping still obtains, but the most popular
styles are one-seamed, either widely fiared
or have released plaits or tucks to give the
modish width which fashion demands.
Darts are often employed to remove the sur
plus fullness just above the cuff and thus
still more emphasize the width below the
elbow Cuffs vary from three to seven
inches in depth and many models are deep
ly pointed, the point extending over the
seam of the sleeve. Gauntlet cuffs are also
noted on many choice models, but 1t must
be confessed that they give a rather heavy
appearance to the hand and arm. The
use of buttons is merely a matter of taste.
8. Contrasting stitching is much liked and
may be artistically applied with excellent
results For example. pure white silk
waist is made very smart by stitchings of
black silk, with collar and cuffs trimmed
with medallions of ecru lace and embroid-
cry in blue spider webs and black French
knots.

Among the most delightful, simple, home

in Connecticut the mantel shelf In the par

her grandmother's clove-apple, which she
was allowed to handle. smell, admire and
