A GRAY Velvet Creation.

A beautiful gray velvet dress,
evolved by a New York house, has
two bodices embroidered in cut steel
beads. One bodice. cut very low and
without sleeves. has for its sole trim
ming deep steel fringe forming ber-
tina and sleeves through which the
waistline is clearly defined. The other
rather loose bodice was eased into
n steel belt and edged with chinchilla.
This could be worn as coat, open or
closed, and the steel trimming was
carried all around just inside as well
as ou,-a form of trimming which pre-
vailed last winter. All the incest fur
coats are finished in this way.
Another of the newest volrets was
in blue and white shepherds plaid,
made with the plain, full gathered
skirt. and simple cross,over- bodice,
showing a chcmise,te OF soft lace and
finished with Il narrow tie OF orange
velvet. To he worn with this were n
toque and mum composed Of gray and
white marabou. in which there nestled
trails OF white silk roses, without
foliage.

Bucket Race on Skates.

Here is new pastimc for the days
when it is cold enough to call your
skates out.
An old broom ana bucket are
necessary for each player. The buck
cts should be filled to the brim with
water and set in front of their re-
spective owners.
The object is to push the filled
buckets of water a given distance
across the ice, and the player who sue
ceeds in traversing the distance in the
quickest time wins, providing he re-
tains more water in his bucket than
the others. But II he spills more than
does the boy who comes in second.
then the order of finishing is reversed
and the second boy in point of speed
wins. A rule can be used to measure

Bend the hairpin-a large and

Striking Styles in Hats.

A striking little toque is of soft.
velret-fnished beaver, methodically
strapped with narrow. bands Of velvet
in shades ranging from deep pinkish
yellow through burnt orange TO brown,
in wonderful gradations of color.
Browns in coppery and chocolate
tones are still the shades par excel
lercc for this season.
Another smart model in hats is OF
reddish brown velvet. having a large
oblDng crown which is further in
creased in size by loose drapings Of
the velvet. Underneath the rim are
encrustations of Irish crochet, and
above are long floating plumes OF
brown. Moire ribbon strings com
plete this charming model.
Almost all skirts shown are sh!rred
or plated at the waist and all the ex.
cess material falls in voluminous folds
TO the floor and trails, indeed, for
from three TO six inches all around.
The lower portion is claborately
trimmed with nounces, festoons. ruch-
ings and all sorts of odd, oldiash-
iorcd adornngs.
Among the new evening coats
shown are some in shawl or cape ef.
fccts, entirely devoid OF sleeves. These
are provided. Of course, for those
evening gowns which even this early
haze the immense sleeves and puffs
of decade ago, and are warranted
not to crush the delicate fabrics.

Cakes for Afternoon lea.

Dainty little cakes for the afternoon
tea may be baked in tins of fancy
shapes, iced, sprinkled with broken
nut meats, and dotted with candied
fruits. An excellent old rule for cake
calls for an equal weight of eggs,
-four. butter. and sugar. Cream the
sugar and butter together very thor
oughly. Then drop in the eggs one
by one, beating each after it goes in
until the mixture is very foamy. After
the beating has made the batter as
fruthy as possible. fold in the -four,
