Debutante's Costume.

A soft. white, clinging goods known
as sicilienne. very popular this year,
is cleverly used in a debutantes cos
tune. The corsage is arranged with
a handkerchief yoke and bertha,
heavy lace being employed. and the
tucked sicilienne blouses slightly into
the white silk crush belt of girdle
shape. The goods is tucked on the
shoulders and wherever else the lace
parts to show it, The sleeves also
are tucked to the elbows: the fullness
is allowed to puff and the lower part
of the sleeve is of lace which matches
in kind the bertha and yoke A far
ing cuff is the finishing feature of the
sleeve. The skirt falls in graceful
folds and shows considerable OF a
train. In design the skirt offers a
striking novelty. being built in five
sections, the horizontal tuclls con-
cealing the Jennings. Each section
has its own tuckins which keeps the
skirt in complete harmony with the
tucked waist. The hip yoke is a
shirred puff and the drop skirt has
several fiounces, the upper rufIie be-
ing of chiffon and making fluffy fin
ish for the pretty skirt. Naturally
nothing heavier than white silk and
chiffon should be allowed to go under
all this daintiness.

Visiting Costume.

A soft shade of dark green cloth
with velvet of slightly darker tint
is used for this visiting costume. The
pretty belted eton has a double rever
effect carried out in velvet with cloth
appliques and in cloth with velvet ap-
pliques. Persian lamb being inserted
in each motif. These revers are
broadly pointed over the shoulders.
The sleeves are of velvet with seal
loped points beneath, while lingerie
ruffes of plisse chiffon fall over the
hand. The skirt is plain. the only
trimming being the appliques of vel
vet and fur. such as appear on the
eton. The white beaver hat is strapped
with broad gold braids and the long
plume in white shades to pink and
jacqueminot at the tip.

Eurs as Trimminus.

Furs as trimmings are charming.
The best skating frocks will show
trimmings of sable, mink and even
ermine; the latter especially is very
costly. The cream and white cloths
and corduroy velvet now in vogue
are vastly improved by an edging of
mink or sable, though martin-tail Is a
good substitute. 1t is in skating
frocks that We shall see the most
perfect specimens of the short skirt;
it is at its best cut with somewhat
full frill round the feet. which assists
IN giving that graceful swing that
makes skating such a pretty pastime.

Panic-Proof Theaters.

In an article on the Iroquois horror

go theater was fireproof. This sounds
like bitter irony now. 1t needed but
one sheet OF flame from the blazing
scenery to bring to naught all the care
Of builders in constructing its walls.
floors and balconies so that they would
resist fire. But 1t is not n fire-proof
theater that will save life: 1t is one
which the audience can leave freely
and instantly at the cry of fire. The
sides of theater from parquette to
gallery should be practically all doors
Reliable employees should be there to
throw them open the moment the audi
ence takes fright. To calm the terri
fed people is best, of course: but all
the doors should be flung open at once
whether they are Gained or not. 1t is
not to provide against fire alone that
theater construction must be planned.
but to provide for panic. THE people
ought not to get frightened What
nonsense! The people will get fright
ened. and the only safety for them
then is a perfectly free egress.

Pretty Hat Embellishme nts.

Largesized silk cord is something
entirely new in hat trimmings and Is
most effective. A dark blue felt teque
IS trimmed with blue silk cord OF
much lighter shade. This cord Is
wound several times around the
crown and looped and knotted at one
side. the ends being brought together
ard fastened with shaded blue ca
bochon in the center of the looping.
Silver cord and cabochons form an
effective trimming on white felt and
black velvet hats respectively. Silver
soutache braid is sewed to velvet or
satin ribbon, and with half of the mid
die. or the edges. of the ribbon left
plain. is then used for bands and fiat
bows. Silver and gold gauze ribbons
are used for hat bindings.

RUSSIA WILL NOT RESENT 1T.
FavOrS RoOSeveifS Peace Move, bui
Can't Join In While War is On:

St. Petersburg Nov. 81. - The Rus
sian formal reply says circular note
regarding the convening of The Hague
conference is not expected until next
week. In the meantime the views OF
other powers are being ascertaineo
through the Russian representatives
abroad. While there is no reason to
believe that Russia can agree to par
ticipate in a conference during a war
there is every indication that she will
not only not resent the proposal, but
that her reply will be of cordial
nature.
In the course of a conversation on
the subject between Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff and Charge d'Affaires Eddy,
OF the American embassy, the former
spoke feelingly of Russia's great inter
est in the work and aims of the peace
confeien e initiated by Emperor Mich
olas. and the important fact developed
that it had been Russia's intention,
had not the war intervened, herself to
invite the powers to a second confer
ence. While the war was in progress,
however, Count Lamsdorff explained, it
was great difficulty to fruitful dis
cussion and to a decision in a question
which might affect the activity of the
present belligerents.

Small Yards for Poultry.

When it is not possible to supply a
range of considerable size for the
fowls and they must be practically
kept in yards. an excellent plan is to
divide the yard into two or three Sec
tions, according to its size, and treat
them in the following manner: Plow
or spade each yard, and in one or two,
if divided into three spaces, plant some
early vegetables that will require some
cultivation - radishes, for example
When the crop is taken out, turn the
fowls into this yard and plant the
others. in the same way. When the
yards are divided into three, one of
them may be prepared thoroughly and
grass seeds or oats or millet sown in
it, with the vegetables in the second
yard, while the fowls occupy the third.
When the grass or small grain gets
two or three inches high, turn the
fowls in this yard and SOW the soil in
the yard they occupied, in like man.
ner. By the time they have cleaned
out the grass lot, the one in which the
vegetables are grown will be ready for
them to scratch over. It Is surprising
how we'll the fowls will do under this
plan. even though each yard Is very
small. 80 's.--
