FORWOMENI
A French Dinner Gown

A dinner gown, worn by one of the
favorite actresses in a successful play
here, says letter from Paris, is par
ttcularly worthy of mention. 1t is of
gray silk mousseline mounted over
| rose foundation and trimmed with lot
OF gray ruchlngs and ruff1es mixed with
a Greek key pattern done in black
velvet. The gray over the pink gives
a beautiful shimmering effect, and the
pompadour ribbon which finishes the
| bottom of the skirt is softened and half
hidden by falling ruff1es of the thin
stuff.
coIIarIess Coats
A good many Of the coats this season
have trimming in place of collars, but
Stimulating the collar form. There are
some coats made with high collars, but
| the collarless bolero seems always
favorite model. 1t is so much more
comfortable with furs and, as more of
the under blouse is seen, it provides for
more variety.
Two Suits Enough
Any woman can look we'll drssed with
couple of gowns or suits, one for best,
enough shirt waists to be thoroughly
neat and clean, two dainty waists for
evening wear and plenty of neckwear.
Boots and gloves for all are necessary
of course. If she has a little more
social life than the general woman
whose working hours are tedious and
wearisome she may add an evening
frock of more or less elaborate make,
but that is luxury many cannot afford
and do not even require.
Golden Anklets
Golden anklets are the latest conceit
Of the society girl. The anklets are
made Of thin beaten gold, and are sup
posed to be charm against ailments
and also spinsterhood. Miss Gladys VAN
derbilt is said to wear one which bears
a mysterious hieroglyph copied from
the tomb of the Pharaohs.
The Use of Mourning
4 Widows veil should be worn at least
six months. 1t is generally worn for a
year. When it is laid aside flowing
face veil is worn. This should be of a
thin silk crepe, not of net. Deep
mourning is worn from six to eight
months. Then it is lightened by the
addition of trimming and little white.
FreshenIng Costumes
A dress skirt or waist that has lost its
first freshness may be improved by a
good brushing and sponging. After
every bit of dust has been brushed and
shaken out, clean any spots that may
be found, then sponge one portion at a
time and press it with a cloth between
the material and the iron. Use white
cloth for light goods and black for dark
Croquettes on Tomatoes
Chicken croquettes served on broiled
tomatoes make very appetizing lunch
con substantial. Cut the tomatoes into
thick slices and broil them. Arrange
them on a platter, put the croquettes
on them and turn white sauce around
them. Sprinkle the white sauce with
minced parsley.
A New Velvet
Moire velvet, with watered surface
resembling that of the MORE silk, is
new and distinctly different from the
mottled surface effects shown in some
of last seasons velvets and repeated
this fall.
1t Took Out the Spot
A large ink spot was removed from a
light colored Administer carpet by the
application OF common kitchen sand
soap with soft cloth that had been
wrung nearly dry.
Art Cannot Produce 1t
Ash-blond is the distinctive color for
hair, but 1t can never be produced by
art, so the pure ash-blond, French type,
is regarded as one Of heavens marks
of favor. The few beauties in this class
are famed for the extreme lightness of
their figures, and no one is recorded as
even up to the average height.
