Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-12

Gathered founces wear better than
the accordion peated ones if made of
taffeta, for no matter how carefully the
pleating is done by machine in order
to have the pleats sharp and distinct,
there must needs come some consider
able wear on the material, and taffeta
is not fabric that will stand too
flounces are not so satisfactory, but If
material enough is used they will be
found quite as flaring, which, after all,
is the point to be desired. There is
| nothing makes a founce stand out
better than many rows of cording, but
| here again comes the great strain on
/ the material, so that there may be
pleatings and shirrings and ruchings
used instead. In other words, there
are no end of different devices to
make the skirt stand out and at the
same time give it chance for life
as it were, although the fact must be
faced that the life of a silk pettico,.
is most uncertain.
Black silk petticoats for street wear
are permissible, but the silk to match
the color of the gown is smarter. The
washable petticoats are much more
fashionable than they were, and in all
kinds of muslin and cambria are to be
seen most fascinating models, which,
though it may be rank heresy to say
so, require just as much cleaning as
do the silk ones Still. they are very
effective and always look fresh and
neat. Petticoats of contrasting color
to the gown are not so often seen now,
although somewhat the same effect is
gained of a contrast by the using of
lighter shade of silk than the material
of the gown The dull reds and blues
are the exceptions to the rule, with, as
has been said, the black for very hard
wear with the very short skirt intend
ed for wet weather. Among the smart
est of gowns this spring are those
made in the very light shades of color,
and to wear with them are not only
drop skirts of silk the same color, but
petticoats also of the same shade and
trimmed with lace dyed to match. This
may sound like great extravaganza, but
it is an extravaganza that shows for
what it is, and, as has been said, is
quite necessary in order to attain to
the finished appearance that is abso-
lutely essential to the modern fashion,
able dress.

Hints for the Won7an!y Woman

A novelty in the line of work stands
is made by covering an umbrella or
parasol frame-which can be bought
at any shop where umbrellas are made
or repaired-with cretonne or other
fancy cotton goods and attaching to
the inside of the cover as many pockets
as may be desired. The umbrella is
arranged so as to be partly opened
when finished, and a small wire frame
is made for a support. The rod FITS in
this and the umbrella stands, handle
up, ready for use. The pockets may
be of the same material as the UNI
brella cover or of a contrasting shade.
They should be neatly bound ana
firmly fastened to the foundation
cover. Some of the pockets are fitted
with pin cushion. needle books and all
the appliances OF work, and others of
generous size from receptacles in which
wrok may be slowed. In the shops
these work stands cost IS to $40. They
can be made for less than half that
sum.
II gowns are laid away in boxes,
several layers Of tissue paper should
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-12

always be laid between the folds of
skirts. and the sleeves and bodies Of
coats and blouses should be kept in
shape with loosely crrmpled tissue
paper.
Some of the quaint candlesticks and
oddly shaped jars of brass or copper
to be found In the antique shops may
be utilized to excellent advantage for
electric light lamps. Any metal work
er will make hole through which the
electric wire may be inserted and a
bulb attached to the upper end. He
VIII also make a metal frame for the
lamp shade. Nothing makes a pret-
tier shade for a lamp of this kind
than beads. There is an almost end
less variety of beads Of which these
shades may be fashioned. Dark red
is pretty with brass and green makes
a graceful color TO the eyes. An effect
not unlike that of favrile glass is OBJ
tanned by using assorted colors OF
small iridescent beads. The stringine
OF the beads requires time and pa
thence, but when that is done the rest
OF the work is simple.

than a suspicion of crinoline about IL
But the stiffening is always hidden un-
der the ruffles and flounces. The
stiffening is really better in the heavier
skirts to be worn under the walking
gown, and it is surprising what diff
ference It makes to the short skirt OF
the walking gown if it is Worn over a
good fitting petticoat. In many of the
new gowns. it is rather a fad, If the
skirt is finished with a deep founce'
not to have any drop skirt, but 20
have the flounce lined with a gathered
or pleated silk founce and then to
wear under it a most elaborate bro
cade or silk petticoat This prevents
any extra fullness that could be given
by the drop skirt, and is especially gooi
in gowns that are to be worn during
the summer, and it is decidedly cooler
than If there was the added thickness
of the silk or whatever material 1t
might chance to be around the hips.
1t is to be much more fashionable
this year to have a small waist than
it was last season, but stomach and
hips are still quite out of date. This
is rather a difficult matter to accom-
plish, though Dame Fashion has given
her followers some aid and assistance
! in providing the new corset as we'll as
this new style of petticoat. The width
and flare at the foot of the skirt is
gradually attained to from the waist
down, which, while anatomically in
correct, is most satisfactorily smart
in appearance, and this, after all, is
everything to be desired.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-12

but the ruffles or f1ounces of taffeta,
even when there are also ruffles an1
f1ounces of lace, seem to be essential
to well built garment of this kind.
Brocaded silks and satins make capi-
tai petticoats, but they also need the
flounces of silk to give them the de-
sired appearance. When they are made
to order, as, in fact, they all should
be, it is possible to get broader front
breadth than in most Of the ready
made ones, and the best cut petticoat
follows closely the lines of the best cut
skirt. Sometimes a yoke is best, but
often the skirt finished around the
waist with just a binding, and made to
fit close, buttoned at the back or side,
is more satisfactory. The Spanish
fiounce is way of making a petticoat
that takes less material than the old
fashioned design of gored skirt, on
which is sewed wide bias f1ounce that
has rows of cording or deep accordion
pleating. 1t will outwear the other,
while for really hard wear a facing of
percaline is an immense help on a
taffeta skirt.
Very attractive are the petticoats
made of silk with the wide hounce of
lingerie put over an equally wide
fiounce of the taffeta. These lingerie
fiounces are fastened to the petticoat
with ribbons run through a beading
and so arranged that they can be ta-
ken off and laundered. The same idea,
but carried out rather differently, is
seen in the fancy muslin skirt with the
deep silk flounce that buttons on under
the lace and muslin founce and that
can be taken off when the skirt is
laundered. These petticoats should not
be expensive, for taffeta is now Won
derfully cheap and the lingerie founces
and ruffles can be bought by the yard
SO that in every really complete outfit
there can be several petticoats of diff
ferent colors. Or, If economy must
needs be closely considered, two petit
coats of white will be sufficient for
quite length of time, provided there
are the extra fiounces of different
colors worn under the lingerie f1ounces
While new materials are always best.
a capital use for old ball gowns of
silk or satin is found in the fashionable
petticoat of today. A brocaded satin
silk gown that has seen it's best days
can be made over into most attrac-

MUNICIPAL CLOCKS

A N extensive system Of municipal
n insurance and municipal time for
the entire city has been organ
lied in Glasgow.
All over the city electrically con-
trolled clocks. regulated at short inter-
walls from the stellar clock at the OBJ
servatory, have been fixed. A monster
regulating clock, also controlled from
the observatory. has been placed In
the town hall. and this in turn controls
the public clocks within certain
radius. The corporation hopes to erect
about three hundred clocks at various
points in the city, and also control the
timekeeping in offices and large private
houses. Within five years Glasgow
transformed its tramways from horse
to electric without adding a penny to
the rates. Although the fares have
been considerably reduced, the yearly
prohts have increased by nearly $500. 900.

Mental Suggestion

The Christian Scientists and faith
curists base their cure upon the infu-
ence the mind exerts over the body.
Patent medicines and quacks owe their
success to the same reasons. In health,
too, the value of mental suggestion
upon many people is powerful to an
extraordinary degree.
Some really remarkable instances Of
the power of mental suggestion have
been recently recorded. 1t is said that
the mortality from wounds and dis
eases in a defeated army compared with
a victorious army is four to three
against three to two. Again persons
in robust health have been known to
die of starvation after being without
food for from three to five days. and
it is believed that such people do not
die of actual starvation, but from the
physical effects of hunger. The proof
OF this lies in the fact that persons
have been known to fast for forty days
OF their own free will without injurlng
their constitutions to any extent. A re-
cent writer in the Medical Record said:
'In the graver forms OF hysteria,
when loss sensation occurs in exactly
one-half of the body. you can lay bit
OF tinted paper on the sensitive side;
then. suggesting II to be a mustard
plaster, red area VIII appear on the
corresponding unsensitive side. Blist-
ers Of such character that scars have
permanently remained from them have
been produced In similar cases from the
same Methods"
