NEW YORK FASHIONS

The color note Is particularly strong
in the newest gowns. The new lies
will continue popular, and the gamut
of pink ranges from tender mauve
to deep American Beauty tints. The
wood browns are to be used for tail
ored gowns, wraps and hats. This
wealth Of color Is matched in the
splendor of the materials now fash.
ionable.
With referenc to the lines of the
new fashions, breadth of shoulder. a
rounded bust, tapering waist line
and ripping skirt that fits the up
per part of the body like a glove,
are the principal features. Failure
to meet these requirements will ruin
the effect Of the richest gown. TT
most notable change in line is seen
in the transition from directoire to
empire styles. This change is chief
ly evident in wraps. in tea and house
gowns, and in the fascinating coates
and bridge coats that are rapidly COM
ing into vogue. Many of these smart
coats are Of lace, black over white,
and white over white, or over bright
color. The empire lines will be
followed in wraps intended for win
ter wear, the necessary warmth being
supplied by fur lining. The coming
furrier.
The new hats are increasing in
size, and while they show the sharp
fitting recently introduced, the
crowns are higher and decidedly stiff
er. Plumes will be worn, of course,
dropping over the brims, and aigrettes
will be in great demand. Lace wells
will be seen on the smart hats, draped.
and also hanging over the face.
Among the distinctly new autumn
fabrics is Saline souple, wonderfully
lustrcus goods, resembling light
weave of cloth. Another of the re-
cent importatious is lie Chantilly, a
soft Atwood fabric showing a. ming
ling Of black and white. In the
whole list of fabrics there Is none
so beautiful as velvet and none more
serviceable than corduroy.-Helen

LIVE UP TO HIGH IDEALS.

Good living is an art They are
few who get the best out of life. 1t
takes genius to do that. In this case
genius Is sanity. One may have
money and still lack the real refine
ments of life. where education is only
a panacea to a more perverted taste.
Nor can poverty always attain the
real object and ends of life. There
fore, it must depend largely on the
character and the conscience OF the
Individual. Such a condition Is not
attained by any one class Of individ-
uals as whole, but by the individual
temperament, and is special in the
sense that it influences and controls
all society as the real standard OF
living.
Good living does not consist in a
large variety of dishes poorly cooked
but few wholesome dishes well
cooked. It does not mean a large
house poorly kept, but a small house
we'll kept; or plenty Of clothes, gorge
Gus and out of date, but a few clothes
modern and kept in order. The same
rules will apply to books collected
under various circumstances to, IL
brary rejecting ones habits ana
tastes. These things, with a rev
friends Of like habits and tastes, to
while away social hour, go far TO-
ward realizing in ourselves the COM
fort and Joy of living and in shaping
the individual character.
But these are only the physical
and external There is the ethical,
which must be considered. 1t l. the
ideals which speak more for the nigh
err life than anything else. 1t is the
real happiness that underlies all OF
mans social and moral qualities.
without them our complex system OF
living is choas. With them there is
peace, happiness and contentment,
otherwise we whuld become ma
chine-a mere drudge, only living to
survive the physical.
Such a condition obtains too much
In the mdern home, where the real
truth Of living is overlooked for the
mere sham and detail OF society
whose delights, If it has any, are
only transltory and 1eeting, bringing
with 1t humiliation q the worst kind.
It is out of this condition that society
is continually trying to recuperate
and establish new standard of liv-
ing. This marriage seeks to do, but.
betng misunderstood by the majority,
only maintains in part what 1t should
attain as a whole. It Is for lack OF
these qualities to be found in the
home that moral disintegration takes
place, and the problem OF physical
degeneracy grows apace. It fs the
desire for too much on the part or
the individual and the lack OF power
to maintain it which is the cause
of our great social unrest. 1t Is mol
large families. with the inability TO
support them. so much as small fam-
lilies with too large desires that Is
destroying our social fabric.-Indian-
