~ OR the dinner gown this winter
- satin and silk are principally
used, in contrast TO the more
perishable textures fashione bic
for the ball gown. Dinner gowns are
also cut rather higher at the neck than
other evening dresses, but the skirt is
made with decidedly longer train. Then
again, a dinner costume IS supposed to
be built on rather simple lines. but as
elaboration is so marked a feature in ali
lines of dress, this one cannot well help
falling victim to the prevailing fashion.
Brocade. satin, and chiffon velvet are
perhaps the only materials which can
be made up on really severe lines. but
in these textures the simpler the model
the better. A handsome lace collar. ar
ranged as a bertha about the neck, on
a princess gown of brocade or satin, win
be sufficient trimming.
Satin is being worn a great deal this
winter. and although the material IT
self is expensive a dress of it is a good
investment. as it wears long and cleans
as well. Pale rose pink is exquisite,
while turquoise blue, pale green, and
yellow are all Of them effective
Draped waists are seen a great deal
at present and are made with or with
out wide belt, many being finished
at the waist with only a narrow cord Of
piping. If the fichu effect is given the
material is generally draped toward
the center, otherwise is crossed over
and fastened down the side The

new models. and this is an exception

E Ma3e ct Buttons

HE good, old-fashiOned purpose of
the button-that is. the utilitar-

the maze of modes in which 1t appears
as trimming. From the Kate 6reeI"aS

lies in the manner in which it is applied

These bands of black buttons extend

The New, Flat, Lace-Trimmed Muffs.

This square of fur falls over aonnces

are made UP in this style. although the
pillow and round muf each has a fol-

on the pillow shape for when the cores
are drawn at the top the gathering of
fur folds at that point gives the muff a
shape known as the pillow.
Lace flounces are put on the sides.

skillfully inserted in fur sleeves
and under ermine and sable tails

stoles are made of wadded satin

Because of the scarcity and the i'm

Hezekiah Butterworth, who died at

his brother, was better known az a writer
of books of travel and OF history some

years old. Death was caused by diabetes
from which he had suffered for a number
OF years.
Warren was his birthplace and he had a
common school education there, afterward
travelling in Canada in Cuba and In Europe.
He later took to writing for the press, and
when he was about 30 years old he became
an assistant editor of the Iouth's Com
pa nion. and held the post for quarter Of
O century.
He published books of historical fiction
dealing with Revolutionary life in New
England, STORY Of the Hymns" and an
annual series Of "Zigzag Journeys" these
latter being very popular in rast years
They were descriptive volumes of travel

numbering nearly six hundred, went there
to claim the $5l appropriated for each.
The number was less than in former years,
and for that reason the fund Of $32,334,
although more than 81 COO less than was
distributed last year. yielded each blind
unfortunate 81 more than the last appropria-
tion.
The blind Of Kings and Queens boroughs
were raid at l26 Livingston street, Brook
lyn. while those OF Richmond were raid at
Stapleton, Staten Island. The total amount
distributed was $500.
The faces of the recipients showed keen
disappointment when they received the
money in bills instead of gold, as was pre-
violsly the custom.

full amount" said one of the Manhattan
recipients. "but it's such a consolation to
be able to count it, and know for ourselves.
