Europe and are beginning to be common In
the larger American cities. These are ham
died differently and are a thing apart from
the motor wells, and to put them on In the
way Frenchwomen do Is an undefnable
art which cannot be learned from specif1-
cations and directions, and which, like the
dressmakers or milliner's knack, must be
in the finger tips. The something that
makes veil appear elegant cannot be de-
scribed verbally. nor even pictured, as a
photograph or drawing always does the
worst injustice to veil of any kind. which
gains UNNECESSARILY from its glinting color
and semi-transparent effects. The ends
mostly fall from the nape OF the neck to
the shoulder. Some simply are gathered
around the back of the crown. some cover
the hat entirely, and others are attached
by ornamental pins to the top of the crown
and fall fat at the back.

newest way to have tea in English families
where the tea service is an every day occur

EaSh1On-
Seems especially to regard the stout woman
in her latest edicts. The new pointed and
tight-fitting cloth bodice, the prevalent
pointed girdIe, which can be made with the
smallest part OF it's depth above the waist
line, and the princess effects, which show
long lines, should adj be chosen by her. One
of the new fashions happily suited to every
full figure is the straight, narrow front
panel or trimming, which Is carried in the
same design the full length of both skirt
and bodice, or coat. The narrow and snug
ly buttoned tailored waistcoat also Is the
salvation of embonpoint, as 1t allows the
jacket to have length below the waist at
the back and sides without the broad ex-
panse of cloth which always results from
bringing it together in front.
The short jacket usually is found to be
more becoming than the long one. but should
be cut with some reach below the belt to
avoid a short-waisted effect. redingote
may be made with turn back lapels which
grow narrower toward the bottom and
which run the full length, breaking the
line of the figure and taking away from
its size. Cut in this way such coat must
rely on the narrow waistcoat to hold it to-
gether. Another point for the stout woman
to remember is that her skirts must not be
cut with the suddenly accented flare which
begins near the knee. The front width
should show as straight line as possible.
and the width at the bottom should be
provided for from the back. With the
slightest tendency to squareness, the hat
worn with the coat must not be the same as
that worn by the shirt waist. Choose your
winter hats with your jackets and furs on,
and get a smaller, narrower hat than the
one you have been wearing, A wide-brim-
med hat f turned off the face and set well
up on bandeau will give a trim look to
the shoulders when worn with shirt waist.
1t will make the same woman look dumpy
when put on with coat.
If possible choose for the latter an up
standing cockade and the smallest, closest
chapeau possible. In furs buy long, narrow
stoles and .boas, fiat mHffs rather than
round and avoid thick shoulder effects and
long haired furs.
For evening wear high coiffures with al

Arms
Which are fat and without muscular de-
velopment never are well shaped, as the
fat never is distributed in a way to give
the proper roundness. The only thing that
gives good shape to the arms is muscle.
Muscle cannot be acquired without exer-
else. and this must be of a kind which will
develop all of the muscles properly. 1t
is for this reason that the best shaped
arms are found among those who use their
hands and arms regularly in their work.
and preferably In the open air. The knead-
ing of bread in the old-fashioned way is
one of the best exercises for the arms, be-
cause the action of the kneading and the
influence of the flour both aid in the REIN
ing process.
Good arms never are snowy white, as
snowy arms usually are f1abby and nerve
less. = cream color is the best shade, all
though the satin finished smoothness so
much admired can be given by rubbing
both hands and arms in warm Oil every
night.

OF the child training problems are found
in the foreign custom of providing separate
piayhouses, and sometimes separate living
houses, for children. An Englishwoman
who had two grandchildren living near ncr
had a small empty cottage which she be-
lieved might be made useful to them IN
teaching them to help themselves.
The little house had only one room on
the ground floor, and she furnished it as a
living room for them. and put store of
coal and wood just outside, which they
brought in when they wanted it, and with
which they learned to light their own fire.
With the help of the governess they did
cooking for themselves, washed up thei;
own things and were taught to keep every
thing in order. with some help and persua-
sion. They entertained their grandmother
