pleasures quite alluring as auto trips
and the selecting of dainty gowns, wraps
and hats is not the least of them. At the

Hints for Tailor Mades.

The comfort of the short skirt has appeal
ed directly to the interests of womanhood
Many of the models are made with stitched
piaits, resembling a gored skirt, but they
stand out well at the foot the plaits being
caught down more in front than at the
back, a treatment becoming to the figure
Goats of medium length, with one seam in
front from the shoulder to the hem of the
coat, outlining the figure without being
tight fitting, accompany the short skirt
They are close fitting at the sides and the
back and have either narrow velvet or silk
cellars and cuffs. Loose sack coats are
worn with many of the cheviot gowns. and
tailors have been doing we'll with wolfe and
mohair dresses, the bodice lined with glace
silk and the skirt with Indian silk Many
of the gowns now making are cheviots of
light weight made up in severely simple
style. Never were so many cloth wraps in
demand, made with a semi-dtting coat with
wide sleeves and deep collar and the fronts
SO made that they can be turned back,
showing a lining OF Powered silk, which
can be completely hidden or allowed to
show when it is very dressy. There are
goo many jacket effects in tailor-made
gowns, but it is better to have yeritable
jacket and blouse beneath. Many Of them
have chemisettes or yokes with collars at
tached, and they are just as warm as an
unlined blouse.

The Old-FaShioned Wife.

friend the other day: Mary is such an old

Then she always gets up to breakfas

She does not go away in the summer unit

EARRING REV.I V AL
BUT THEY ARE SMALL AND HIGH
PRICED.
Black Pearls and Diamonds Set in
Screw Mountings Bring
Fabulous Prices.

Written for The Evening Star.
The annual horse show in New York city
ushers in radical changes in jewelry. 1t
may be said that in the boxes surrounding
the great ellipse is usually set the seasons
pace in gems. jewelers. claim that the sem
sation of the jewelry trade this season will
be earrings, not the barbaric pendants of
other centuries, but priceless single gems
set in the tiniest screw mountings.
The extravaganza of the season is black
matched pearls and prominent society
woman will appear at the horse show wear
ing pair the size of a pea, for which she
paid $4,000. The black pearl at first sight
looks almost dark gulmetal, but at
closer range reveals all the colorings of
the opal and white pearl combined. and
sheds almost as much sparkle a we'll
cut diamond.
Twelve thousand dollars is not a large
price to pay for a well-matched pair of
the white pearls, and some of the screw
earrings in the large single pearls are as
big as a grape. Several pairs of diamond
screw earrings which will be seen at the
horse show were priced at $4,000, and one
eccentric matron will wear a diamond in
one ear and a pearl in the other In the
lower priced earrings an odd fancy shows

ed in earrings. and such gems as emeralds,
sapphireS and rubies are made up to order
only for wealthy women who can afford to
wear earrings to match their frocks.
Stage women and others who like pro-
nounced effects are using cluster settings
in the ears in such stones as emeralds
surrounded by pearls or by diamonds These
are made up in the same forms as the jew
eled buttons used so much this season on
velvet frocks.
Some of the oriental shops are showing
pendant earrings in old-fashioned silver
and gold with odd settings of gems. and
the antique shops are also setting forth
their quaintest offerings in earrings If the
rage for costumes of certain periods should
continue jewellers predict that the pendant
earrings, much be-jeweled may return, but
as the appearance of very few women is
improved by the use of the long pendants.

ular.
The making of imitation gems has reach
ed such stage of perfection that some of
the new screw earrings in single imitation

hardly detected from the real, save by

Personally think every girl should have
an evening dress, however simple 1t may
be. This winter beauty OF the evening
dress is largely matter of handwork and
trimming, and it is really less expensive
than smartly tailored suit, where the
shopper pays for lines and finish.
An inexpensive evening dress is made
from net inset with lace medallions. which
in turn are surrounded by tiny ruchings of
ribbon. Have the bodice cut low-neck and
short-sleeved, and then have made ex-
ira guimp of the same material with a
shirred yoke and mousquetaire sleeves
tight-fitting at the wrist and finished with a
ruching of the lace. This you can slip I'M
der the bodice of your dancing dress if the
function is not formal enough to demand

Less expensive would be an evening gown

silk-finshed lining. having a ruffie of taft
fetas. This may be trimmed with lace in
sets or ruffiing, and plenty of French knots
in self tone, or one of the striking colors
so popular this year Every girl should
learn how to make French knots, by
their help she can beautify the simple
gown. which should be fitted by a COM
petent dressmaker
For wear with her best street gown the
business woman may have an all-velvet
hat trimmed with the beautiful silk and
velvet roses so popular this season. They
are almost as expensive as feathers, but
more durable and more novel

Hints for the Cook,

Directly a saucepan is empty and taken
from the fire fill it with cold water. When
time allows, add a piece of soda and boil
out the vessel. Saucepans treated like this
are easy to wash and always in good order
when wanted.
An egg .whisk made of wire set in a
wooden handle is a necessity in every
kitchen. 1t is required for clearing soup
beating whites of eggs or cream and to
make chocolate froth.
Kitchen towels should be washed out
every day after the dinner things are
washed and boiled at least once a week.
Wooden spoons should be used always
when making sauces and beating cakes. II
metal spoons are used they get ground
down at the point and also wear out the
saucepan.

An effect of life may always be given to
the one-coIor room by the introduction OF
a sofa pillow of some brilliant or positive
coloring. For the green room, the light
or porcelain blue pillow, for the ivory-tint-
ed room scarlet pillow, and for the blue
room a bronze cushion or the sunshine OF
a golden yellow pillow, these are artistic
touches.
The distinctive feature which the fall
shopper finds in this never too plenteous
house-furnishing is the use of enormous
tassels at diagonal ends to finish the heavy
rope cord around the edge. The bigger the
tassels the more in vogue the pillow, and
though, together with the cords, they can
be had in all colors black forms the best
frame for the artistic heads or the spread
ing flowers which form the centers.
An entire goat or cafskin, either tanned
or untanned, forms novel top, and is held
fast to the pillow by leather strings run
through eyelet holes in the skin and inter-
laced across the pillows satin back. Burn
ing-point and paint-brush make the tanned
skins a background for the sharp features
of a high-cheeked Indian or the full bloom
of California poppy, and not infrequently
scenes of country life with the haymakers,
the lovemakers and the funmakers are
shown.
Recall Your Pleasure.
The girl who has clustered her hands and
the hands of her friends trying to get suf-
ficient needles from the knotty pine boughs
to bring an odor of the woods to her city
home, will find large and small oblongs in
the coarsest of linen crash, decorated in
green and brown with pine cones and
needles. The fronds must be first sewed
into a close mesh, cheese cloth bag. On a
dark, rainy day a Whit of their fresh
sweetness will recall the pleasure of the
steep mountain climb in search of the bal
sam
Nothing so pleases the heart of a college
boy a new pillow for his couch in the
dormitory room, and the number which
he has usually represents his summers
conquest and the nimbleness of his sister S
fingers. The favorite design is a satin
pillow in one of the shades of his uniyer-
sity's flag, and in the center or one of the
corners is the college shield heavily en-
bossed in embroidery of the second shade.
and stamped with the names of any of the
larger universities, are attached at the
points of the base by a rope cord finished
with big tassels, SO that the pillow can be
hung over the back of chair.
Ready-to-use stamped ruffiing can be
bought in any shade. and ribbons of con-
traSting colors are also fagoted together to
form an edging. Plaid scrim with outlined
designs and lined with muslin of the pre-
dominating color in the paid make pretty
washable covers for cushions, and striped
ruff1ing comes to match the plaid.

Interesting Experiment in Restau-
rant

| An advertising agent representing
| prominent New York magazine,
while on a recent Western trip, was
dining one evening in a Pittsburg res
! taurant.
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and notc-
( ed the advertisement of well known
dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets; as he himself was
regular user of the tablets, he began
specializing as to how many of the
other travelling men in the dining
room were also friends Of the popular
remedy for Indigestion.
He says: i counted twenty-three
men at the tables and in the hotel
Office l took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to learn that
nine of the twenty-three made a prac-
tice of taking one or two of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
lone of them told me he had suf-
fered so much from stomach trouble
that at one time he had been obliged
to quit the road. but since using
Sturats Dyspepsia Tablets had been
entirely free from indigestion, but he
continued their use. especially while
travelling on account of irTegularlty
in meals and because like all travel
ing men he was often obliged to eat
what he could get and not always
What ne wanted.
Another, who looked the picture
of health. said he never ate a meal
without taking a Stuart Tablet after
ward, because he could eat what he
pleased and when he pleased without
fear of a sleepless night or any other
trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on the stomach,
causing pressure on heart and lungs,
shortness of breath and distress in
chest, which he no longer experienced
since using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets was the only safe
remedy he had ever found for sour
stomach and acidity. He had formerly
used common soda to relieve the
trouble. but the tablets were much
better and safer to USE
After smoking drinking or other
excuses which weaken the digestive
organs nothing restores the stomach
to a healthy. wholesome condition so
effectually as Stuart's Tablets.
Strart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain

which every weak stomach lacks. as
