For Women
RevIvina Old Fashions

Two new fashions were emphasized
by the smart women at the opera
last night One is the wholesale adop-
tion of by-gone styles and the other
is the use of cokades for head dress,
says a New York letter. More than one
woman suggested canvas Gains
borough, Reynolds or Lawrence, and
this apparently is the desired effect
Mrs. William *. Vanderbilt in q
brocaded satin Of mauve was fol-
lower of the idea of reviving ancient
styles. The satin of pale mauve was
relieved by embossed flowers in pink
and blue, and the bodice was strap
ped with black velvet ribbons. About
her neck were a "Consuelo" ribbon of
black velvet and n necklace of solitaire
diamond. a large brooch of diamonds
decorated her coiffure. Her guest, Mrs.
frederick o. Beach, wore white satin,
touched with pale blue velvet. Mrs.
Beach's hair was dressed with a blue
ostrich plume.
New Things in Fans
Among the latest novelties are black
lace fans with an lridescent bird
perched on u gold branch that bears
silver fruits while others are of ex-
quisite Limerick lace, slightly spangled,
and with tiny Vatican pictures painted
here and there. Green fans are new,
as are also those in the fashionable
raspberry hue; the latter spangled in
n design of gold are especially effec-
tive. The medium-sized fan, measure
ing eight or nine inches, will be the
popular one this year; larger fans
decorated with real lace will also be
fashionable. and the smallest fans ara
only five inches long.
For a Nursery
For a nursery portiere nothing is
prettier than burlaps in one of the ar
tstic tones of blue or brown or what
ever color matches the room, with a
border of English tapestry illustrating
nursery rhymes. They are delightful
in color and design and the choice of
subjects is ample. one may have a
procession of goose girls driving their
floclSs through the lovely meadows to
an unseen brook, a windy garden with
maids hanging out clothes and sew
eral others as dear to memory or as
exciting to the imagination.
Stretch and Yawn
good vigorous stretch accompanied
by a deep yawn does far more good
to muscles, lungs and limbs than all
other exercises, says Il medical author
Iity. There is this great advantage
about stretching, that it can be in
dulged in anywhere and at any time,
always providing, Of course, that one
has 10 audience.
Warning to Housewives
A cook of thirty years. experience
points out that such combinations as
meat cooked in conjunction with flour
(sausages and pork pies) are liable to
| turn sour in twenty-four hours and
this sourness, which can be detected
both by taste and smell, indicates the
presence of poison. This applies to
soups, Stews, graves, etc, which have
been thickened with flour, as well as
| TO sausages and meat pies.
Box Plating
| One sees a great many box plated
trimmings at present, and there are
great many kinds too. One of the
most popular and the Frenchiest of all
in effect is the very fine box plated
ruche, doubled and stitched only at
the upper edge. 1t is not pressed and
the plaitings thus look more like quilt
| ings than anything else, the plaits be-
ing set closely side by side,
A Hurry Call
