Gowns made loose and ample, that are
graceful and becoming at the same
time, find a welcome place in every
woman's wardrobe. This one is ex-
ceptionally attractive and can be util-
lied both for ones room and for gem
eral morning wear. AS illustrated the
ma terial is dark red cashmere trimmed
with Persian banding but there are
numberless others that are equally at
tractive and available while the trim

admirable and the fancy braids are
without number
The gown is made with fronts and
back, the back being laid in inverted
plaits at the center and the fronts In
two outward turning plaits at each
shoulder At the neck is a big collar,
and the wide, flowing sleeves are IN
one piece each, gathered at their upper
edges.

banding to trim as illustrated.

creatore Concert Features

One of the many notable and de-
lghtful features of Creatore's concerts
which cannot but be admired by those
who attend the series which he and his
band will give at Temple auditorium
Friday and Saturday evenings, with
matinees on Saturday and Sunday. is
the good taste and excellent judgment
displayed by this prince of b9ndmas-
ters in the selection of encore numbers.
The character of those chosen by
Creatore is, for the most part, ex-
tremely delicate, embodying and rep
resenting the acme of musical refine
ment.

DANGER FROM MATCHES.
Peril to Which Women Are Frequently
Exposed by Skirts TAX
ing Fire.

Something more than a generation
ago an archduchess of the imperial
house of Austria, in the palace Of
Schonbrunn, stepped on match, and
in moment her superlatively combus-
tible underwear was in flames and the
high-born lady persisted in agony with.
in few hours as the result of the oc-
currence. Only few days ago, says
the New York Times, a suburban lady
within hearing of the city's church
bells and the ferry fog whistles, met
with a similar accident, having a like
result In the interval between the
two a good many of similar sort have
been recorded here and there among
match-using and lingerie-wearing races
and females the world over, inviting
comment with precautionary moral
and its repetition cannot be amiss
whenever anything of the sort hap
pens, though the lessons of peril which
they convey may not be needed as Sc
riously as they deserve. The safety
match does something to diminish such
dangers and there are laundering prep.
arations for fluffy underwear and other
exposed textures, rendering them non.
infiammable, but their use is by nc
means general. The lady who steps on
a match will find it nine times in ten
not of the safety variety, and nine
times in ten the invisible portions of
her apparel will not have been render
ed incombustible by. any of the solu-

immersed them. Any chemist can tell
any lady what they are, and such an
anchor of safety against single but
most appalling peril should be a valua-
BILE contribution to feminine peace of
mind and security.
There is likewise a female habit
more prevalent than it ought to be of
striking matches on the sole of the
shoe, managed in a fashion which is a
feminine monopoly and conducted with
dexterities of gesture not readily lend
ing themselves to description. But
they are as full of danger as those Of
tiger moth futtering around light
ed candle. Those who imagine this
practice is confined to vaudeville &C
tresses and ARTISTS models show that
their opportunities of observation have
been limited 1t is not at all confined
to these meritorious but unconvention7
al classes In fact, it is extended
enough to constitute real social peril,
and voice of warning should be lifted
up against it whenever the same ap-
pears to be called for. 1t is agonizing
to reflect that the occasion for it is
generally supplied by the burning up
of woman. 1t is kind of suffice that
has no root in religion, but is an out
growth of mere heedlessness, taking no
account of the consequences which
do and are always likely to follow it.

SANITARY HOUSEKEEPING,
Sinks, Washstands and Other Recon,
tacles Should Receive Con-
slant Attention.

Few women there are who do not
know how salient an item is the scru-
pulous care of the refrigerator or ice
chest, says writer in Harper's Bazaar,
yet how many of us take the trouble
to see that this important work is
rightly accomplished?
1t is montonous reading to be told
that this receptacle should be cieansed
thoroughly twice a week and wiped
out daily. The waste-pipe leading
from the ice-chamber too often proves
a medium for the solid food" culture
OF germs, as the constant dripping of
melted ice will, unless unusual care is
bestowed upon it, form a gelatinous
coat on which the germs of fermenta-
ton thrive.
A strong alkali, such as potash
commercially known as lye-or chlor-
ide of lime, should be poured down
this pipe at least twice a week.
Sinks, wristbands and toilets should
likewise receive careful attention, and
disinfectants should be generously
used.

GIFTS 70 THE BRIDESMAIDS
Smartest Present That Can Be Offered
in the Winter Season Is
Nun.

In every detail originality is held il
high favor by the brides of to-day, ow-
ing to which cause it comes to pass
that the old stereotyped gift of prayer
book, brooch, ring or bangle CIV
en- by the bridegroom to the bridesmaid
is a commonplace of the past, says the
London Mail.
Perhaps the smartest present that
can be offered at this moment IS a
handsome muff, and as NUTS are to be
purchased in every kind of fur, and in
wonderful variations Of patterns. there
is plenty of diversity to be secured in
this direction. What the majority Of
bridesmaids prefer Is . huge granny
mum of imperial Russian sable, one Of
which costs a considerable amount.
When the one has to be multiplied by
ten or doben, the outlay Il decidedly
heavy.
Another very charming present, and
one that is to be highly recommended
because Of its novelty. and the fact that
it is not particularly costly, q q watch
fob. Fobs are now coming into fam
ion again, because directoire coats. cut
away to show the vest IN front. are
prominently modish. They make the
very prettiest and most picturesque
items of bridesmaids toilet carried
out in velvet or brocade, and worn
with lace beflounced muslin petit
coat
The fob chain is usually made Of
black MORE silk threaded through gold
slides, and is completed at the end
either by an old-fashioned watch or,
more commonly, by gold seal, which
would, of course, have the bridesmaids
cipher engraved upon it. If gold slides
are deemed too simple, old French
paste ones are well worth a search, or
limitations can be bought that will look
unique. A third highly desirable offer
Ing which a millionaire bridegroom
might present is gold purse of the
newest pattern. Made in the semblance
OF pig. the head of the purse is that
OF the animal beautifully modelled in
solid gold. with emerald eyes, the body
is made of chain, and at the end ap-
pears the curly tail of the pig, while
its four feet figure elsewhere. Pigs are
always supposed to bring good luck
when they are worn, and SO this pres
ent, which is perfectly new, should be
remembered by the opulent.
Next, perhaps, in the order of merit
as novelties come umbrella handles and
spokes, their only disadvantage being
that winter bridesmaids do not require
the sunshades which made such very
pretty adjuncts to the summer toilets
of such damsels. But it is easy enough
TO apply the umbrella handle, for the
day only, to tall ebony stick, another
mode borrowed from the directoire Pc
Rod, and. of course, the spokes can be
left at home in their velvet-lined case,
ready to be fitted with the handle to an
umbrella in the future
