For Party Frocks.

China and radium silks make dainty
frocks for girls from ten upward, and a
new material heavier than chiffon yet light
er than silk Is also admirable This comes
In all evening shades and is very wide.
For empire or short-waisted effects this
graceful fabric Is particularly well adapted.
Nets and point desprits are popular for
young girls from fourteen to eighteen, and
large number of dresses In these mate
rails and a variety of styles are to be
found, from a simple, plain Brussels net
lace trimmed in Valencennes to those in
point desprit almost over trimmed-con-
sidering the youthful wearer-with yards
upon yards of satin ribbon and fluffy little
frills.
Smart and practical Is another line of
evening frocks this house is showing. These
are of soft pongees and heavy China silks,
entirely hand made. shocking being used
in their construction. All colors are being
made up and a very pretty frock for a
girl OF fourteen was of lovely wi-ter blue
shade cut out In round Dutch neck a wide
band of shocking done with heavy white
silk suggesting round yoke. much smock-
ing at the waist line, from which the skirt
fell very full, and was hemmed and tucked
on the bottom Large puff sleeves were
shocked to form cuffs, which were fin
ished with quaint little frills, dainty tuck
er being the finish at the neck
Both material and design lend themselves
well to laundering, and the construction Of
the dress is quite within the powers of one
having only a slight knowledge of smock-
ing.

small curls at the bottom. For low
coiffure it is fetching, and especially eff
fective for woman with an oval or long
face.
Quite as pretty, though not as extreme,
Is the pointed pompadour made by MARCEL
ing the ront hair to a point in the center
of the forehead and finishing the back in
a succession of puffs reaching from the
crown of the head to the nape of the neck.
Other Smart Styles.
With a pointed pompadour the Roman
or coronet braids are also smart for either
high or low coiffures. The Roman braid
Is attractive to many if coiled around the
top of the head. either in a circle or out
lining the scalp, and when set off with a
bunch of three of four curls on one side
gives Chic appearance that is extreme
ly becoming to small woman.
More elaborate than this braid Is the cor
onet style that Is really a combination
of two Roman plaits Joined either at the
top of the head or at the neck. They can
be worn either high or low, and are suit
able with pointed or broken pompadour.
With round pompadour of medium
size the most effective fashion of doing the
back hair is with the basket puffs, that
are the newest thing in the art of hair
dressing. These puffs are especially valu-
able because they may be worn either high
or low, and If not becoming at the back
Of the head may be put on at either side
or far forward, provided puffs or curls are
used to give a desirable fluffy effect to the
couture.

For Youthful Bellies.

That the holiday season is fast approach

rate display of dainty frocks specially de-
signed for Thanksgiving, Christmas and
general party toilets to be worn by youth
full bellies.

Of chiidrens wear Is showing a number of
extremely pretty frocKs in advanced styles
and at prices to suit all pocketbooks. Tiny
tots from three to seven will wear the most
cobwebby of little dresses of the lingerie
type, but so fairylke are the fluffy gar
ments that 1t seems out of the question to
class them as tub frocks, though wash
fabrics are employed throughout The
dainty null frocks will appeal to economi-
cal mothers who wish to see their small
daughters dafntily dressed, yet who can
not afford elaboration. A very full skirt
tucked half way up, baby bodice tucked
horizontally, and sleeves showing puffs SIM
ilarly arranged. gathered into lace bands,
and the top of the bodice finished in Dutch
square neck with the lace is made from
very fine null, and Is quite within the skill
of the home dressmaker. Mounted over a
pale pink slip, few toilets could exceed
this in daintiness, while the laundering
might be safely attempted at home. Wash.

good SOAP it should be rinsed In clear wa

Deep tucks, say an inch and half wide,
will be more effective than narrower ones.

The Meaning Of Domestic Economy.

Did you ever ask yourself the meaning of
the term domestic economy? Most likely
you never did. Notwithstanding the grow
ing popularity Of this branch of study, there
is no subject the name and nature of which
is SO generally misunderstood.
Some young women think it means cook
cry and laundry lessons" others think
"scraping and saving would more fifty
define it, while dim ideas of so-called me-
NAL duties and domestic drudgery float
through the brains of others.
But these are small nibblings at the
outer bark" Of the truth, which Is that
domestic economy is a saving knowledge.
a knowledge which relates to the intelli-
gent and cultivated management of every
thing connected with the home.
1t is the science of the home, and pre-
eminently womans science.
1t is the woman's work to make the house
into home. Every woman ought to know
how to do all things necessary to make
home happy, says Woman's Life.
The husband earns the money, but the
principal part of 1t has to be spent by the
wife. Hence 1t Is very important that all
girls should learn domestic economy. But
please remember that domestic economy is
one Of those things that cannot be learned
from books alone.

The Art Of Lady-like Appearance.

The plain girl must not be Ill tempered
If she has plain features she need not
have an ugly disposition. She must be
SO sunny in her expression that she makes
those who lock at her forget how plain
she u.s.
The unattractive girl can always have
attractive hands. She can take great care
of her nails, and can polish them until they
are as pink as rose leaves and as glossy
as marble. She can put soothing and
identifying creams upon them to make
them white and massage them until they
are plump.
The plain girl can learn to walk well.
There Is no reason why she should not
hold her shoulders erect and walk grace
fully. She can also have good figure, and
she can dress well. The ugly girl can
speak prettily, and in this way add charm
to her personality. She can be graceful,
too. The fact that nature did not give her
a naturally pretty face need not keep her
from being graceful.
The ugly girl should have virtues of
heart, says Womans Life. She should
cultivate a kind heart. A good heart
shines through the eyes. You can tell
1t the minute you look at a person, and
how one loves person with kind heart
instinctively and with gush of tender
gratitude!

Newest Styles for Dressing the Hair.

It's the artificial hair made into puffs,
curls and braids that makes the smart
coifrures so distinctive just now. and incl
dentally reduces hair dressing bills, for
once the marcel wave, still favorite, is
made the pinning on of the false pieces is
a matter Of taste, for they are worn where
ever they most become a woman.
Aside from the use of artistic hair pieces
to secure stylish coiffures. the majority
Of women in the city are forced to wear
puffs, curls and often braids because they
have literally ruined their hair by using too
hot irons to get the marcel wave so that
while the false pieces are fashionable and
no hairdressing is complete without some
kind of curls, puffs, &C., they are essential
to properly cover the head and to hide the
stubby short ends.
Worn alike with curls. puffs or braids,
the marcel wave is really the foundation Of
coiffures, for without it the false pieces
would beincongruous and often unbecoming.
The wave however, is different this season
from the tight one that has been popular
for several years, for 1t is about twice as
wide and is loose and quite natural looking,
for it closely resembles real wavy hair.
Pompadour Still Fashionable.
Like the marcel wave the pompadour is
worn again with all styles of coiHures FOR
with these two almost any combination Of
braids puffs or curls makes an effective
headdress. The pompadour is built on diff
ferent lines, however, for it is made point
ed, broken with part on one side, or just
plain round If desired. The latter will be
little used if any Of the newer arrange
ments are becoming.
An attractive way to dress the hair with
a broken pompadour is to put bunch of
curls through the part so that they hang
over the forehead, and then at the back Of
the head put on a basket puff-that is, a
combination of a figure eight made by
twisting the strands-and two or three

in which the particular article should be

most dreadful sinner against sartorial law
is the woman who insists upon buying the

upon elbow sleeves, though to hear her
talk one would imagine her whole life a
struggle against them, and that it was i'm
possible to come across any other sort, and
then she fills them up with clumsily built
cuffs and inappropriate frills. This same
woman appears with big wells attached to
the back of her hats, regardless that most
of the new modes have avoided this fashion.
She pins them up and loops them back here

until she appears to be trying to commit
suicide She talks disparagingly of throw
