When the winter blasts blow cold,
fashion provides ample protection
to delicate femininty in the shape of
deep, soft furs and coats of ample
weight to insure against exposure.
This winters designs are especial
ly adequate in this way, and at the
same time combine artistic beauty
with usefulness. A pretty comb1-
nation, in three pieces, consists of a
scarf of erminee of lovely old ivory
tint, a scarf that fits snugly about
the neck, and a muff so big and COM
Portable that one prizes the GOODNESS
of short sleeves.
Following on the popularity of
having everything copied from old
historical models, we have got back
to the very picturesque neckties Of
the Reynolds portraits-just a long
piece of black ribbon, satin or silk
which is passed around the neck
once or twice with a pear shaped
pearl on each end. The ends are
Topped in front and allowed to hang.
There is really a distinctive mark
in touch Of this black introduced
INFO some of the gay-hued garments
of today. Indeed, the craze for rib
bon wearing is very great and bids
fair to become greater as the season
advances.
Striped ribbons. chine ribbons, flo
raj and brocade ribbons with colored
satin borders, broad ribbons, narrow
ribDOns-all are now extremely pop
ular and are used most lavishly for
one purpose or another.
In dressy gowns one finds velvet
more often combined with lighter
material than forming the whole
gown, and the results of these COM
binations are decidedly good, for
even the exquisitely soft and supple
velvets Of today are liable to clumsi-
nesss in certain parts Of a frock I'M
less handled by a master hand, and
an all-velvet bodice, like one of cloth,
is really too warm for wear in our
overheated houses and places of en-
tertainment.
There is no longer the cry from
stout women that no collars are
built to suit their necks, for an &C.
commodating DEALER this year has
decreed that every style and pattern
of stock or collar must be made in
the "extra" sizes as we'll as in the
ordinary.
A marquisette in pale blue, Law
ender or one of the new soft yet
bright greens makes a lovely gown
in which to receive at an infomal
afternoon tea or card party, or to
wear to the theater- in the evening,
For matinees the tailor suit and
dressy blouse is more generally
used.
Venetian cloth is little seen; less,
perhaps, than of the finer wooden
weaves.
Fluffy lingerie waists are gradu-
ally disappearing and plain neat tall
ored effects are taking their places.
The new shirtwaist has the perfect
ly plain, full-length shirt sleeves with
a plain or turn-back cuff, which may
be fastened with link buttons. All
the collars are detached in the latest
models.
The material used is mostly heavy
white linen, but wool batistes and
other wash fannels arc also used.
Soft silks are popular, too.
Plain black and white effects are

EVENING SILK

Crepe de chine is also making
great Roadway. 1t is graceful, be-
coming and durable, all noteworthy
advantages.
Pompadour crepe de chimes are ex-
quis1te. They are used for waists
and gowns, but more especially for
the popular evening scarfs, which
are becoming more and more a ne
cessity in every woman,s wardrobe.
Big glazing plaids continue to be
worn, despite all forebodings, and a
glimpse of plaid is apparent in most
costumes. . Still, it can hardly be-
expected that fashion so conspicu-
GUS will last for long.
However, you may have a petit
coat of the most marvellous plaid, or
the most startling stripe, and feel
that you are distinctly Gin it,"

BEAUTY SUGGESTIONS.

It Is impossible to make the hands
slender. You can make them grace
full by indulging in exercises, stretch
ing the fingers to the utmost and
closing the hand slowly and grace
fully. You can also keep your hands
soft and white by using a pure soap
and cosmetic jelly. If, in addition,
the nails are beautifully manicured,
the extra plumpness will not matter
so very much. The main thing is to
have the hands white and soft, the
nails polished and clean, and to move
the hands gracefully. All these de-
lightful conditions: can be- cultivated.
Almond meal may be used in place
of soap If soap proves irritating to
the complexion. A very good formu-
la is this: Four ounces of wheat
flour, one ounce of finely pow
dered CASTLE soap, one ounce of pure
borax, ten drops of oil Of bitter al
monds, two fluid drains of oil of ber-
gamot, one dram of tincture of musk.
Mix we'll and pass through sieve.
There Is no such thing as per-
manent cure for corns If shoes do not
fit properly. Any pressure or 1rrita-
ton will cause their growth again.
| A formula that will remove them is
made of one-half ounce of dessicated
salts of tartar, one-quarter ounce Of
bole armenia and one-half ounce OF
resin ointment. Mix and cut piece
of kid the exact size of the corn.
Spread the kid with the paste and
apply to the corn, letting 1t stay on
for several hours. Remove and soak
the foot, when the corn should be
soft enough to remove. IL T.. Ri

idea that If the editor of the News

find that there are numerous Others

the railroads have cut off all free
transportation they can afford to sell
tickets at greatly reduced rates and

George Byrne believes the Demo.

some NEEDED LEGISLATION.

Much has already been said in gen.
eral and considerable in particular
relative to the work to be done by
the incoming Legislators when they
assemble at Charleston. Hosts of
things will be said, no doubt, as to
what ought to be done and scarcely
d tenth part will be needed by the
Legislators. But there are a few
things which cannot be overlooked
with IMMUNITY. To these we ask es'
pecial attention. First, West Virginia
ought no longer lag along at the foot
OF the procession in the matter Of
pare food legislation. Our State IS
4 being made the dumping ground of
the adulterated products which have
Sbeen refused admission to other
States and conditions will continue
TO grow worse instead of better. That
important step ought to be taken at
once and taken firmly. Second, some
railroad legislation is badly needed.
Some want straight two cent fare on
J an lines, others seek for a minimum
4 of two cents and maximum OF three
IN similar plan to the minimum of
three and maximum Of five as the law
is now. But one vital change ought
i to be made as to who shall determine
the rate to be charged, AS it now
stands, the railroads practically COLI
troll that essential feature. In our
opinion a railroad commission ought
to be created to make investigation
On these and other lines, A railroad
commission composed of capable and
honest men would be Of great service
to the people and would do no harm

mission would be Of benefit to the
railroad interests Of the State. The
time seems to have come for rail
