Tailor Made Crepe de Chimes.

In Paris they are making up the
most fascinating costumes Of crepe de
see them is to want to have either the
original or else an exact duplicate with
out delay. Doubtless the introduc tion
Of the double-width oneseamo crepe is
responsible for the sudden squirt that
this exquisite material has taken in
fashionable favor, and there is simply
no limit to the designs in which St is
used. Of course, it's width was bound
to recommend it to the taiIors: and
now one can have it in weight that
closely resembles the finer and softer
OF the chiffon cloths. All of those
smart, dressy tailor-made productions
are possible in this; and there are de-
lightful little three-piece suits in crepe
de Chine trimmed with velvet that only
need little touch of fur-a neckpiece
and muff-to carry one thru the cold
est of winter weather.
The girl with good taste and a slen-
der purse-how often do those two 90
togethe r!-will. welcome this vogue; for
the crepe de Chine is SO dressy that
she can with some little ingenuity make
the one frock carry her thru the entire
season. And then it wears SO satisfac-
torily, too; and in the heavier weaves
takes on some of the good qualities
of the smart Siciliennes, and simply re-
fuses to crush.

DR.. w. G. Tight, an Ohioan, who is
president of. the University of Mexico,
became acquainted with Miss Peck soon
after her ascent of Popocatepetl and
Orizaba, and accompanied her on the
South American tour. He took charge
Of. the manufacture Of oxygen for the
climbers tanks, carrying compact ap-
paratus for that purpose.
Altho not holding the worlds record
as woman mountain climber, Miss
Peck is, perhaps, better known for such
achievements than any other woman in
America. She has devoted her time al;
most entirely for ten years to difficult
and perilous journeys toward the sum,
mits Of the highest mountains in the
world and has accomplished many ex.
traordinary feats.
Miss Peck was the first woman to
reach the summit Of the dreaded Mat.
terhorn in the Alps in 1895 She
climbed Popocatepetl and Mount
Orizaba,, in Mexico, and has made many
explorations in the Tyrol mountains and
elsewhere. She was educated in the
University of Michigan and studied
archaeology in Greece and other east
ern countries.

Miss Annie S. Peck, an American
mountain climber, has assembled Huas-
can mountain in South America to a
height of $1,000 feet. She was pre-
vented from reaching the summit be-
cause Of immense crevices and snow.
Huascan is 22,05O feet high.
Until Miss Peck trod the highest
slopes of Sorata and Huascan no white
foot had been pressed on those danger

tried to go up Sorata, but failed. He
and his party were unable to breathe
the extremely rarefed air of that al
titude. Miss Peck hit on a plan to get
the better of the gallant Englishman.
She and her companions each wore a
ten-gallon tank of oxygen across the
shoulders much like a soldiers blanket
roll. A rubber tube led from the tank
to the mouth, with an inhaler to mix
the life giving gas with the atmosphere.
So equipped, the climbers were able to

MOST BEAUTIFUL

orately embroidered and then appliqued
on the coat. The silks used for these
embroideries are also Of the most bril-
liant shades, red, burnt-orange and sage
green predominating; and gilt, gilt
everywhere. .:
The fashionable dinner gown for the
coming winter season is quite different
ter's style. The skirt is wider, there is
decided tendency towards crinoline,
the waist is more deliberately trimmed,
and the sleeves are much larger.
In silks the favored taffetas remain
good, and especially is this SO in the
wider weaves. In fact, it is quite
revelation, those new widths in silk, for
had in cloth widths, that is, from for
ty-two to ffty-six inches wide. AS
suredly this leads to much more econ
omy in cutting; and the girl who makes
her own gown, either from choice or
necessity, will welcome the new double
widths enthusiastically.
Buttons, especially what the dress
makers call the soft button-that is,
the velvet or silk covered, the crochet
late arrivals from the other side. They
are used to edge and define the vests,
they appear on the very fancy cuffs,
they seem to hold down strappings and
plaits upon the skirts, and the deep
girdles which still continue to be a
feature Of fashion are much betrimmed
with buttons.
And now it seems that the little
checks are to be retired in favor Of
their larger cousins, the plaids. Paris is
using plaids enthusiastically for out
door costumes, and in many instances
trimming them with leather. The soft,
flexible suedes and kids are treated Just
stitched, embroidered and braided to
suit the passing fancy Of the moment.

servant eye Of the fashionable girl is
the fact that trimmings and trimming
effects have increased, and that their
plentitude in the new styles approaches
almost to the danger point-the danger
Of redundancy, of overriding the thing.
An overturned gown is assuredly an
infection, and one which no wise girl
will permit her d1essmaker to perpe-
trate. And here is where her sense of
proportion must assert itself, for-what
would be merely a respectable ampli-
tude in some cases would be glaring
superfuity in others. It all depends
on the style of the wearer, of course.
And never was there more occasion
for. the Greek proverb, "Know thy
self, - to be put into practical and daily
use than at the present time. The
styles vary to such a delightful degree
that there is room for the development
Of an individual style, and originality
in dress such as has perhaps never pre-
vailed y; before, ,s and 4 to the girl who
possibilities perhaps than even she
herself has ever dreamed of.
Flounces of every kind and character
are vastly favored in the new modes.
Spanish founces, circular f1ounces, lit

which just showed themselves last
spring only to be retired when the sea-
son Of tub frocks came around, are all
to be found on the new models.

One bright woman changes the posi-

least once year when she cannot af-
ford to make new purchases. The
thought is a happy one, for sameness of
arrangement, the same old things in
the same old places, is often conducive
to mental WEAKNESS, and changing the
position of things gives new life to the
room Even if it does no more than
satisfy you with the previous arrange
ment, it has accomplished some good.
4 A good way, to completely transform
a bedroom when the furniture has be-
