1t always seems to me that a really
good figure requires more correct fit
ting than one not so good. Fortunately
nowadays there is no excuse for any
one not to have, an attractive figure,

such excellence.

At first glance the sleeves of the new
dresses look quite commonplace, but on
close inspection many of them prove to
be very elaborate, especially those on
evening frocks. Altogether the manche
is the important item of a costume

for wear in the street, to grace a ball
room or to adorn a home gown. In the
advanced models there is less fullness
at the elbow, and the graceful flowing
drapery depending from this point of

means dying out. 1t is simply taking
other and more up to date phases than
the custom among young people of
sending poetical souvenirs to their
sweethearts on the 18th of February,
the festival Of st. Valentine, martyr.
The modern notion of observing St
Valentines day is supposed to have
originated from illusions made by
Chaucer and Shakespeare to this date
being the mating time of birds. The
truth of this statement matters very
little so long as the day continues to be
kept in the old fashion. 1t would be a
pity if such a pretty. custom should
sink into oblivion, as so many of the
old world observances have in this very
practical and strenuous age of ours.
But as all the world still acknowledges
its love of lover we are in no frnne-

especial festival.
The valentine of yore has been super
seeded, as every one knows, by the send
ing of flowers and bonbons arranged in
manner symbolic of this saints day.
Almost everything fanciful and pretty

As the fan from time immemorial has
been the effective and heart ensnaring
weapon of the coquette and in the lam
guage of sentiment has a vocabulary all
its own. a fan party for St Valentines
night would be both an appropriate and
unique entertainment. A party of this
kind would necessarily be made up of
games and puzzles in which the fan

ARTS. Jan. 2S=The bored old
smart society world was made
to sit up recently and take a
little interest in life after an
afternoon tea given by Mrs. Mackay
at her new apartment in the Avenue
du Bots de Boulogne, which is a rev.
elation in the way of luxury and COM
fort. The exquisite taste and original
ideas of Mrs. Mackay are displayed in
every part Of this fiat, which occupies
an entire floor in one of the large
buildings Of the Bots. Her guests
found themselves ushered into a great
hal done in the sOftest colorings of
French blue and white. The drawing
room is very French. with lovely tap
estries, aubusson carpet and Louis
Seize furniture. Leading from this
room is the most attractive boudoir
connecting with a dainty pink and
white bedroom having its marble bath
room beyond. A few intimate friends
entered these sanctums. but the guests
raved over the dining room. with it's
priceless tapestry against white walls
and tapestry pictures in panels thrown
into relief by crimson satin window
curtains. Altogether the apartment is
a delightful example of what unIim-
tied wealth and artistic taste combined
may accomplish in Partisan fiat.
there GNG a llIlle when the dress
question is not absorbing the mind of
the feminine sex? Indeed, dress nova
days is accorded a literature of its
own, and fashion articles appear in al
most every paper one picks up. some
times think we fashion chroniclers may
boast as long a lineage as the more
Rristocratic writer's Of literature, for
was not the written description of Jo-
seph's coat Of many colors the earliest

Whatever the outcome of the argument
the fact is still extant that the planning
Of the early spring and summer ward
robe is the vexed subject of the nodis-
tic hour.
The best couturieres are away at
Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo watch
ing the success of each others crea-
tons. These places are at present
hors coneurs for the pet CONNECTIONS OF
sartorial master minds, and the styles
most approved on the Riviera will be
duplicated later at Autueil. at the
spring meet of modes and horses.
A few landmarks are vouchsafed US
concerning leading dress features for
the coming season. Among them is the
continuance of full skirts, short Shout
dered effects and pointed bodices, and
we may be positive that the directoire
and Louis styles will hold over the
summer season. Materials as yet are
not obviously different from those of
yesterday Linens are seen in the shops
in all kinds of weaves from the heavy
shirt waist suit variety to the sheerest
of handkerchief linens for lingerie
waists and dainty frocks. That it is to
be a white season is another foregone
conclusion, and the early spring tailor
mades are all in light shades Of cloth.
These gowns are devoid Of much of the
'fussiness" that made some of the win
ter creations look so overladen. The
skirts, as a rule. are made to just touch
the ground and are full, having a de-
cided swing at the feet. Much cording
has to be resorted to in order to give
this modish effect.

may be used singly or in festoons A
large heart outlined with red roses
makes a charming centerpiece for the
supper table. The menu should contain
dishes which carry out the prevailing

The decorations and menu having

festivities could begin very successfully

game.
Lots of fun is a fan race For this
exciting contest two persons are Sc
lected, armed with fans and small
pieces of paper folded after the manner
of a cooked hat and fastened with pins.
The race consists in waiting these pa
pers around the room. using the fans as
waters. The player who comes out
victorious challenges another one of
the guests as an opponent, and so the
race runs on until but one person re-
mains. A book on the history of fans
would be a nice prize for this exciting
and sporty game. To add spice of
merriment at the beginning of the fan
race the partners may be chosen by
matching hearts. Paper hearts are
torn in two and the pieces put into two
baskets, to be drawn and matched. This
method of playing the game affords
much merriment.

played with st. Valentine features is a
