Thank heaven they have at last ceased to sew silk petticoats on drop stitch machines, Never shall I forget the modification of a friend of mine, and incidentally of myself. for l was with her. She caught her heel in the ruftie of her petticoat, and the strain must have started the seam, for it be- gan to rip. Before we had gone half d block it was trailing on the ground and before We could stop it seemed to me that the whole ruffle. with yards of thread. was wound around her feet. She did the only thing possible-picked it up and tucked it into her muff. For tVnately 1t was a large huff.
 Our old friend the seal is once more enjoying favor Yes, 1t was a bit out of style; respectable and rich, if you will, but out of the height of style The main reason for it's return, I'm think ing. is that furriers are using more discretion In the way that they make it up. They are following mainly the box coat models and giving up the at tempt to make a tight fitting seal coat, Tight fitting seal coat! Save the mark Did you ever see one?

 Just little hint to you. When you have your sealskin coat made over next have a collarless effect outlined with an application of flat black silk braid. It will make you look less chunky" and. besides you can wear a chinchilla or an ermine stole with 1t and thus va add to the fancy effect have your sleeves made with wide, bell cuffs and fill them with very deeply colored ecru lace.
 It is these fancy touches which re- lievc the sombreness of a fur garment.
 It seems to me that a gray cloth gown is about the most practical dress woman can have, for it may be used during the winter on d good many oc- caSiOnS when a velvet dress would be much too elaborate, and if made close fitting with trimming of passenmen- terie or dyed lace, it is ultra chic for spring wear without coat. cos tune of gray or champagne cloth Is most useful in May or April. and the wise woman bears this in mind when planning her midwinter wardrobe.
 I have seen some advance spring styles in fancy neckwear and the odd est thing is a flat stole made of gray chiffon velvet having its ends beautiful ly embroidered with pale pink roses and decorated with gray and pink fringes. How dainty this would be worn with a gray cloth gown and a gray straw and chiffon hat trimmed with pink roses,

Useless Christmas Gifts.

I can't bear the people who give mo useless Christmas presents, like paper cutters. for instance. Who ever uses paper cutter? The leaves of all books come cut nowadays. and as for tho magazines, a hairpin Is always moro convenient because you have 1t right there. even if it Is not so elegant. have three paper cutters now, and all they do for me Is to get lost and step ped on.
 Handkerchief cases are another nui- sance. Who ever puts handkerchlefs into a handkerchief case, unless 1t Is some very prim. old maidy person? I'm sure I never should bother. Glove box es are quite another matter. A glove

Gray chiffon velvet is much used for gowns and for evening coats. Black is of course, always in good taste, and, owing to its glossiness. 1t is not nearly so somber as the ordinary velvet.
 Hats are growing a little larger, es- pecially for dressy wear. l have seen two imported models recently which I consider very smart. One was a straight brimmed shape of pale blue panne velvet. For sole trimmings 1t had a huge ruche of three shades of tulle-pale blue heliotrooe and pale pink. The other hat was of pale pink tulle and Irish lace, with two pale pink ostrich tips dropping over the brim on the left side and a moss rosebud falling against the hair.
 By the way, moss roses are the lat est millinery fad.
 Hairdressing is undergoing another change. Smart women are no longer confining themselves to the figure S.. In fact, there is a distinct epidemic of braids. A favortte way is to braid the hair into two pigtails and to cross them in front, forming a sort of crown effect all around the head. The other way consists in making a single braid and winding it around and around into a flat pancake arrangement at the back of the head. This requires fancy back comb above it.
 It goes without saying that all the smart belts are wide this season and that you are decidedly out of fashion II you dare to wear a narrow one. While good many white belts are worn with white waists and skirts, yet some flow cred ribbon Is also seen made up into very FrenChy looking girdles. l fact, these lowered belts, done up in tissue tA sDond have formed more than one Christmas gift this season.
 The worst freak of fashion which has shocked my eyes for long time l wit messed yesterday. It was three quar- ter box coat of gray and white mottled leather which looked perilously like snakeskin, and also a toque and huff of the same. This, mind you, was sup posed to be very elegant.
