In Time Of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia
Japan war we had striking example
of the necessity for preparation and the
early advantage of those who, so to speak
have shingled their roofs in dry wealth
er. The yirture of PREPARATION has made
history and given to us our greatest
men, The individual as well as the
nation should be prepared for any
emergency. Are you prepared to sue
cessfully combat the first cold you take?
A cold can be cured much more quick
ly when treated as soon as it has been
contracted and before it has become
settled in the system. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is famous for it's cures
of colds and it should be kept at hand
ready for instant use. For sale by

Among the extremely elaborate gowns 1t
is always relief to notice some few frocks
which stand out because of their very SIM
plicity. 1t is true that there are few Sc
verely plain costumes this season, but still
there are many that depend almost solely
upon the beauty of their material for effect.
A number of the soft satins have noticeaby
little trimming, and there are even few
soft chiffons and nets that have singuarly
little adornment.
In the first illustration is shown an ex-
ceedingly attractive gown for a debutante,
and this model usually is severely simple.
The gown is of rose pink chiffon over a
satin finished silk lining somewhat deeper
in tone than the material itself. The
bodice, which is of panne velvet the exact
shade of the chiffon, is draped softly in a
manner that is always becoming to the
figure. The little guimpe is of lace, trimmed
with chiffon roses. relieved by iridescent
spangles, and the lace bertha falling over

pink satin is also embroidered over with
the paillettes. The sleeves are of chiffon,

trousseau has grown of late years to be
every bit important as the outfit for
any other time of year The two gowns
described above could be worn perfectly
well for the next few months in any eli
mate. An exceptionally pretty costume for
general afternoon wear is a gown of light
blue chiffon. entirely accordion plated
Down the length of the dress are laid
panels of black and white striped satin rib
bon, the panels being left loose some inches
above the hem, over ruffles of lace. The
bust and sleeves are all of lace, bordered
with the black and white RIBBON. A large
black hat, draped with pale blue tulle and
a full white feather al the left side of the
brim completes a stunning outfit.
1t is easier to acquire a good effect with
out much trimming from a heavy texture,
az silk satin. than from anything so soft
and Indefinite as chiffon. but. as shown by
the two costumes which are taken from
L'Art ct la Mode, charmingly pretty frocks
may be made up in any texture and need
not be over-much trimmed. 1t is the cut
and the general style of the gown which
really counts after all, and if the color is
becoming the effect is sure to be good.

OF Greek Origin.
From the Taller.

The couch was probably introduced into
Greece by the Assyrians, for it appears in
the Parthenon frieze in the British mu-
scum. and the vase rooms there and in the
Louvre give frequent Illustrations of an
cient Greek couches, which were made of
bronze instead of wood, and also of the
stuffs used in upholstering them The
Greeks in their turn taught the Romans the
use of the couch. for Greek artists and
workmen were employed In Rome. During
meals men reclined on touches each made
to hold three persons; low rail protected
the back. and three of these seats sur
rounded the table at an entertainment leav-
ing the fourth side open for service.
Couches were also carried and used as
litters.

CHRISTMAS PARTIES.
Pretty Suits of inexpensive Materials
for Boys Fancy Costumes.

1t is generally believed that there is less
variety in the choice OF fancy costumes for
boys than for girls. though a little refec-
ton scarcely sustains this belief. for there
really are numbers OF quaint and pic
turesque toilets to choose from. and those
may easily be made at home and at very
little cost.
An entirely new costume has appeared
this year which is supposed to represent a
lemon. The small boy is encrcled half
way down his body with a wooden hoop
covered with a little padding. and then a
lemon-colored one-pece garment is gath
cred at the neck and at the lower edge Of
the short legs, something after clowns
suit, and between these points the body Is
shaped as nearly like lemon as possible.
Slipper and stockings are yellow. and crepe
paper made to represent half a lemon forms
the cap. placed Inverted on the head.

Sugared Flowers.
A simple way of sugaring flowers, as
given by Mr.. Oscar Of the Waldorf is to
boil sugar with an equal amount of water
to the crack degree If when a fork is
dipped into the pan 1t throws OFF the sugar
as fine as threads when taken out, it Is
ready and the flowers may be put in. Rub
