FORWOMEN
Animated Petunla Beds

| A large number of the model gowns
| for the winter are of Indian cashmere
| in the most violent colors and elab-
orately trimmed with passementeries
and fur. Peacock blue is one of the
colors seen and there are vivid green's,
mauves, puppies and maroons, says a
| foreign letter. Just now a great deal
of purple is used but it is, as rule,
used discreetly, as a hat, a trimming
or a waistcoat. If the modelmakers
have their way and their designs be-
come popular, assemblies this winter
Will rival a Detunia bed in color.
The Most Beautiful Hands
Mile. Marie de Castellane, a young
Partisan beauty, is the proud possessor
of the most beautiful hands in the
world. Her hands are perfectly smooth
and even, without the slightest trace
of line, and they BATTLE the most
| far-seeing palmist. She receives Wis
itors from all over the world, who
come to Paris for the sole purpose of
getting q look at her hands, and If
possible to learn the secrets of their
beauty.
Chicken Terrapin
A great favorite for luncheon is
chicken terrapin. Boil fine, large,
tender chicken; when done, and while
yet warm, cut it from the bone into
small pieces, as for chicken salad. Put
1t in stew pan with one gill of
boiling water; then stir together until
perfectly smooth one quarter of
pound of butter, one teasponful of
flour, and the yolk of one egg, which
add to the chicken, half at time,
stirring all well together; then sea-
son with pepper and salt After let
ting 1t simmer for about 10 minutes
add half a gill of Madeira or sherry
and send to the table hot.
To Get Brilliant Windows
Take a pad of cotton rag soaked in
glycerin and rub the glass all over
the inside. Then take a piece of clean,
dry rag and lightly polish the glass
until the glycerin is invisible, but not
entirely rubbed away. Do this when
the glass is fairy warm and dry, and
you will get brilliant windows.
Dictated by the MiIIiner
The "bambin," which resembles the
hat worn by the italian peasant boys,
has the long veil pleated into bar
barrie clasp, while the adapted Louis
XVI. riding hat with its high crown
and small prim, is finished with long
veil matching the panache Of ostrich
tips at the side. The popular shape
of hat, with the brim wider at one
side than the other, has a soft scarf
of tucked chiffon tied round the crown
and falling over the shoulders at the
back as its sole trimming.
A Mania for Sewing
"The modern French woman is pos
sessed of a mania for sewing, knitting
and embroidery" says an observer.
Are we waiting for breakfast, Nine.
la Marquise will produce a lace and
satin bag and out of it strip of prim-
tive looking embroidery, at which she
works until the bell rings. After
luncheon the bag reappears, and 1 am
not sure that it does not come out
in the closed motor car. This fury for
industry has seized all classes of the
French people. At an afternoon con-
cert at Trouville one day 1 counted
dozen women around me whose
hands were busy during the most thrill
ling efforts of the orchestra"
Eighteenth Century Furniture
A manufacturer of fashionable fur
niture in New York said the other
day: Eighteenth century styles con-
tinue to be great favorites for fur
nishing apartments. There Is a ten
dency, however, to modify their POM
posity and their gilt bronze orna
ments. which are considered too rich.
The idea is to make them quieter and
simpler, in spite of the opposition of
certain customers.
To Keep Flowers Fresh
To preserve bouquets put little salt
