FORWOMEN
Modish Evening Frocks

Princess gowns are made in all the
evening materials from satin to tulle,
writes a New York correspondent. The
rich-looking satin or chiffon velvet
gowns are fitted by marvellous skill
in cut and drapery and trimming, but
there are numbers of princess frocks
less difficult to copy, while exceedingly
effective in their way. These are made
in the sheer materials, chiffon, silk
mousseline, liberty gauze, crepe, ra-
dunn and all the thin silks, and are
wide girdle form. Above the SHRED
girdle the full bodice is drawn over
the bust without blousing and is
trimmed more or less elaborately
around the decolletage or demi-decolle-
tage.
A draped lace bertha and the elbow
sleeve, lace trimmed, are the only eab-
Grafton upon the bodice part of many
pretty models, and the frock bottom
may be quite simply finished with
groups of tucks if one does not care
to go to the expense of lace trimming.
A Characteristic Hat
A characteristic hat of the season is
small felt shape, trimmed in the back
or near the back with an immense
bunch of ostrich plumes apparently
out of all proportion, so far as size is
concerned, with the hat itself. The
coiffure demanded is a high one, so
that the hat may dispense with a
bandeau and receive it's angle of forty
five degrees from natural causes.
Novelty in Petticoats
A pretty novelty in petticoats is a
taffeta skirt with deep lingerie
f1ounce. The fiounce is attached to the
skirt with beading and ribbon, and
can be taken off to be laundered. 1t is
made of very sheer lawn or batiste
and is naturally very much lace be-
trimmed. For evening wear nothing
could be prettier.
Oysters and Macaroni
Boil half a pound of macaroni and
drain 1t. Dip two dozen oysters in
fine oatmeal and broil until light brown
color. Butter a pan, put in a layer
of macaroni. a grating Of cheese, a
thin slice of lemon and salt to taste,
then layer of oysters, and continue
until the dish is full with macaroni
covered with bread crumbs on top.
Scatter with bits of butter, pour in
cupful of oyster liquor and bake for
half an hour.
A Pethetic Story
Lady Cat bookstore)-I want to get a
good novel to read on the train-some-
thing rather pathetic.
Salesman-Let ME see How
would The Last Days of Pompeii do {?
Lady-Pompeii? ] never heard of
him. What did he die of?
Saiesman--l'm not quite sure, ma am
some kind of an eruption, I've heard
-Harper's Weekly.
Miniature Furniture
Miniature furniture for ornaments
is quite the rage this fall. 1t is
mostly made in silver, fashioned in
dlnerent styles, or filigree and old
Dutch. Among the articles shown in
New York department store recently
was sedan chair of daintiest outline
and ornamentation not more than an
inch and quarter in height. Then
there was little bathing house on
wheels that went round. A cart driven
by sprightly Cupid lashing an inch
of goat made spirited ornament. An
other design showed dovecote covered
with tiny birds, whose little heads
We're turned down to look at Cupid
holding high a litter for one of them
to carry.
For Matted Hair
When long hair becomes so matted
that it is difficult to comb the tangled
locks they should be saturated With
alcohol. This done, they will become
amenable to the brush and comb as
If by magic,
Head Pillows
Openwork is the keynote of the win
ter styles in head pillows, This FASH
ion in the linen slips requires a hand
somer pillow covering underneath than
has been hitherto deemed necessary.
