FORWOMEN
The ONLY Radical chanae

A fashion expert in Berlin writes that
| the only radical change in fashions no.
| ticeable this season relates to sleeves.
| Skirts, bodices and high Wristbands
are practically as at the end of sum
mer, but new sleeves with wider shoul-
ders to preserve the outline and make
| perfect silhouette are the style. In all
the dresses except tailormade they are
semi-long at the top and tight at the
elbows. Many are trimmed with lin
gerie ruches Some velvet sleeves are
partly covered with supple cloth, which
terminated with revers.
Handsome Night Robes
One of the handsomest of the night
robes recently seen in Paris was made
With a very low, square neck with back
and front and mandarin sleeves fiat at
the top and broadening toward the bot
tom. A perfectly fiat trimming of gui
pure was laid around the armhole,
where the sleeve joined the gown. Six
square motifs of guipure trimmed the
front of the gown, being put on in two
rows on either side the opening flap.
Six of these motifs decorated each
sleeve, two of them being placed on
the two points of the sleeves Around
the lower edge of the sleeves was a
very broad and handsome band of en-
broidery.
A Savory Entree
Here is a savory and easily prepared
entree. Cut large, ripe tomatoes into
thick slices; arrange them on buttered
baking pan and over them sprinkle
minced green peppers and dot with
bits of butter. Bake fifteen minutes
or cook under the flame of the gas
broiler
Lighter Fabrics
The tendency of evening dress is to-
ward the lighter, almost invisible fab
RIGS, such as chiffon, meteor and chif-
fon cloth, made up first, over chiffon
as lining, with the colored silk under |
that
Snowy Back Combs
Back combs by the way grow more |
splendid daily. Nothing but precious |
metal or n first-rate imitation of it will |
answer my lady's need. Plain tortoise |
shell is nowhere. Some of the designs
of these combs are very curious and or
nate, but all are snowy, glittering with
gold and gay stones. They now come
in sets of three, chignon and two side
combs, and the chignon comb is very
much taller than it was awhile ago,
forming deep band across the hair.
Small ConVeniences
The value of small conveniences in
the home cannot be placed too high.
The providing of these is one of the du-
ties of the housemother or daughter.
For instance, the matchbox, which is
found empty in the darkness, causes
great disappointment. The want of a
ball of twine at crucial moment, or
the need of box or bag of short cords
proclaims the disadvantage of neglect
ing small details.
Well Supplied With Shoes
There will be no great surprise over
the cable reports from Berlin that the
Princess Louise has as necessary de-
tails to her wardrobe 1875 pairs of shoes.
There are said to be a dozen society
in New York who have each
that many-not to speak of enough shoe
trees to make a bonfire.
The ConsueIo Ribbon
The visit of the duchess of Marlbor-
Ough to this country has resulted in a
new fashion, and the "Consuelo ribbon"
has been named for her. The "Con-
suelo ribbon" is a distinct novelty and
has been added to the new costumes
in a Fifth avenue shop, says a New
York letter. The ribbon is a narrow
satin band that clasps the neck near
the top of the gown, but many Con
suelo ribbons" are seen in gold and
silver braid. The duchess has a long,
slender neck. When she arrived in
America she interested all Womankind
by these ribbon bands. To her it was a
necessity, and the others readily took
up the fad
The Veil Pin
Fashions latest fad is the veil pin;
some are convex, and thus we'll shaped
for fastening flat the stylish circular
veil or the automobile veil Fancy
bars, dragon flies arrows and swords
are among designs seen, the pins being
longer than those used for stocks.
