THE SELECTION OF CLOTHES

Don't count the time lost which is
spent in studying the effects of har-
monious colors. Color is OF prime i'm
portance in dress.
Don't always wear red Il you are a
brunette or think blue the only color
for blends. Reverse the order. A bru-
nette can wear all the light shades of
blue, and a blond is a symphony in
bright red
Don't wear black, mauve or green if
the hair is black and the complexion
swarthy. Yellow, scarlet and pink
should be chosen.
Don't choose delicate shades of pink.
lavender and blues, except a deep navy
blue, if the eyes are blue, the hair dark
brown and the complexion not clear.
Don't wear pink and scarlet If the
hair is frankly red. Green and white
are the colors. There are brown, oak
and copper tfnts that make a red haired
girl model for any artist.
Don't choose hat without due DELHI

cannot be calculat ted. 1t is the article
Of attire more than any other which

shape of the head
Don't forget that if the hat is suited
to the wearer all else is forgotten and

A smart chapeau recently arrived
from Paris is built of champagne felt,
its fiat crown draped with ciel velvet
and fcppy brim raised at the left side
upon champagne colored wings tipped
with blue. The delicate blending of
these two shades is most persuasive
and promises to have a large word to
say in the seasons millinery. Another
pretty hat of canotier genre in gray
felt is simply draped with a fancy en-
broidered ribbon gallOon, the same

poses a little to the front of the crewn.
COcardes, rosettes and ruehes are being
largely employed in the millinery world
today Sometimes the ruches are large,
fluffy arrangements of silk cut on the
cross with frayed out edges. and. again,
stiff narrow ribbon is killed into the
required decoration. Feather ponpons
are also in much request, together with

- ARTS, Dec. 19.-The Riviera sea
son which follows close upon
the heels of the holidays is not
showing any diminution in
fashionable favor this year. It
is only a question of a few weeks when
all the world will be en- route to the
sunny south. The little Paris season
is coming to its halfway house. and. to
paraphrase a familiar line. the best
inns best rOom'-for countries have
their fashions as well as men and wo-
men-will soon be at premium
Exquisite toilets are being created
for these dolce far niente days, and
their beauty is never lost in the land
where it is always afternoon The
dressmaker's art is displayed there TO
the very best advantage. There Is
plenty of opportunity to show d stun
ming gown, and at most exclusive re
sorts this is really the overture to the
play.
White. which for several seasons has
been such a predominating note in the
southern toilet, has a rival now in the
pastel shades Both the ivory and pas
tel colors require the becoming touch
of dark furs to make them really effec-
tive; consequently the dainty light cos
tunes will be worn with magnificent
sable and mink.
one sees in some of the fashion talks
exaggerated accounts of pink, mauve
and blue cloth gowns being donned on
all occasions. AS a matter of fact, the
light dress worn on the street IS the
exception rather than the rule. 1t is
true a few white or cream fur deco
rated toilets were seen at the races
several weeks since, but the best dress
ed Frenchwomen are trendins more and
more toward somber shades for their
costumes, especially at outdoor func-
tons. Browns, from rich golden to rus
set shades, and the greens and dull reds
composing walking gowns are more or
less rich, though subdued. The point
of briliiancy is most noticeable in the
headgear A feature is made of the
bright emerald green feather or royal
blue or brilliant red plumes which ap-
pear on black or dark toned chapeaux
and are invariably worn by chic mon
dame with a black, brown or mole col
ored costume.
AS for fur hats. they are generally
composed of two kinds of skins. seal
and sable or molesl1in and white rabbit,
and made up in elongated toques worn
a little off the face. Quaint touches of
gold in the form of cockades are effec-
tive trimmings on some of these stun
ming fur hats. To wear with a smart
tailor gown a toque of beaver trimmed
with parma violets and roses is very
pretty.
The gown cut en- princesse is coming
in again. and have seen good many
examples designed for the early Riviera
season. This gown very often has the
bodice and skirt cut separately. but the
waist is 50 skiufully manipulated that
the whole frock has the appearance of
being cut in one and hangs in long,
graceful folds.
Concerning skirts. the width and
shape are quite different this winter,
for, although the upper part of the
skirt fits quite close, the lower part
must be very wide. In a great many
cases this width is achieved by a ruffie
being gathered on a ruf1e. a kind OF
Pelion on Ossa affair.

To be really pretty the lips should
be rather full, but without the least
suspicion of thickness. Their color, too
should be of bright red. not only for
appearance sake, but also as denoting
a healthy body. Thin, colorless lips be-
tray poverty of the blood, while very
thin lips. however bright their color,
show an irritable, fretty disposition.
So many girls when reading pull and
pinch their lips. This bad habit causes
the flesh to swell. and in a very short
time a pair of ugly. thick lips is the re-
suit Unfortunately, this unbecoming
blemish is not easy to cure. The prac-
tice of touching the lips must first be
abandoned and the lips gently rubbed
with cold cream two or three times &
day. The girl who unconsciously plays
with her lips will do well to wear a
pair of woolly gloves when reading or
studying. She should also get those
around her to correct her directly they
notice her hand raised to her face.
Biting the lips is another habit which
also thickens them, besides denoting a
bad temper. The best cure for this is
to keep a white bone penholder in the
mouth in moments of leisure, and this
viii prevent the teeth closing on the
lips

proportions, but so far without much
enthusiasm being displayed for them on
the part of the women themselves
The furriers are having the time of
their lives just now as the cold wealth
er is bringing them a lot of business.
One leading house is making a special
ty of ermine opera wraps made in
shawl shape and edged with chenille
and ball fringe The wrap, though, that
appeals to the great pleasure loving
majority is of pretty brocade having
raised velvet figures and trimming OF
lace and velvet. A coat of white zibe-
line made lovely with DARK fur and
gold buttons is also popular.

draperies at the windows, last SON
orous note to the beautiful theme.
Lowestoft is a favorite old china
which shows the Chinese influence,
though the English touch is there. The
porcelain body of this ware is inferior
to Chelsea, Worcester or Derby but,
with it's graceful flower and pagoda de-
signs. 1t is very attractive. In dainty
pieces the groundwork is blue with rib
bons threading in and out among the
blossoms in a wavy line never to be
confounded with the Dresden bowknot.
AS the Lowestoft factory was severely
utilitarian and tea ware formed large
percentage of its output we have cups.
saucers and sugar bowls in profusion.
If you peep into an oriental looking
teacup of this ware you will be sur
prised to see an English rose which
seems to say. 81 am not Chinese, but
Lowestoft, as you see by this sign of
the rose"
Dresden is a delightful and royal
china, and, although we see many spec
linens of this ware, there are only four
places in the world where one may be
absolutely sure of purchasing a genuine
piece. These are the saIesrooms con-
nected with the factory, the royal per-
celain depots in Dresden and Leipsic
which is permitted to keep defective
of Dresden is two crossed swords in
blue.
Perhaps the most sought after chinas
of the day are Chelsea and Worcester.
The first named china factory was
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-01-02

founded by the great Frenchman, NJ.
Sprimont, in the eighteenth century.
The choicest Chelsea vases are of i'm
mense value not alone for their rarity,
but for the workmanship in modelling
and decoration. These works have
long since disappeared, but hundreds
of beautiful figures still exist as lovely
in glaze and color as when they came
fresh from the kiln. Chelsea china lat
er took on the added name of Derby
from the town of its manufacture. The
mark is a combination of an anchor and
the letter D.
Royal was bestowed upon Worces-
ter when Queen Charlotte visited that
factory with King George III, and the
china is being produced still in beauti-
full designs. Flowers and exotic birds
are the patterns most used on Worces-
ter. Pieces of genuine Worcester have
four intertwined VS. with q crown
above. Royal Worcester was manu-
featured before 1883; since that time it
is only Worcester.
Crown Derby, Sevres. Minton and
the like are wares to be peddled only to
princesses of the blood royal and
American dollar queens.
Golfers will be interested in a COL
lection of delft tiles depicting the his
tory of golf. It is still a disputed point
as to whether the game of golf had it's
cradle in Scotland or in the low coun-
tries. We do know that the great
Dutch landscape painters took delight
in depicting all kinds of sport and as
golf was played in that country on the
ice there are lovely tiles representing
the different points of the game. The
golfer who can afford the luxury of a
fireplace tiled with pictures of golfers
in all attitudes and poses is indeed for
tunate.
Our American pottery, though of re-
cent origin, is very beautiful, and in no
country has chfnaware reached such
excellence without the aid of financial
encoura cement We have Beleek equal
to the Irish ancient porcelain of that
name made in Trenton, n. J., but the
most distinctive American potteries
are the lockwood and the faience.
The terms porcelain and china are
confusing, although really relative. The
latter is shopping English, and when
one becomes a collector he forswears
china and uses the word porcelain -
It is more artistic and aesthetic.
