The woman shook her head when her
caller asked her to join the Every
Other Bridge Whist Club"
mo, will not" she said. "Of course
I am awfully pleased that you've asked
me, and the members are all my crowd
and I'd have good times at the meet
ings, but I've made one resolution this
fall, and that is l won't be Joiner
Every fall I come back rested and full
of energy from my long summer vaca-
ton, and l readily accept invitations to
join all sorts of clubs. BY the middle
of winter I'm dubbed to death, and it
is a bore to me to attend the meetings.
This is not to say that disapprove
of the activities of women's clubs and
I admit that they have accomplished a
great deal but I believe one should be
rational and not overdo even in liter
airy efforts. That is another reason
I
Il simply have an attack of club
nerves and am ready to go into hys-
terics if any one mentions parliament
airy law, whist prizes, or committees
to me. I don't have time to do a sin
gle restful thing, read even one book
or do anything worth while. 1 simply
go from one club to the other, eating
all sorts of sweet connections and ruin
ing my digestion. I don't have time
to get acquainted with my family
hardly. SO while I feel now that 1
have energy enough to join ten clubs,
I am going to join just two and see If
I can get through the winter without
having my annual attack of nerves.

There is no smarter finishing touch
to the outdoor toilette than one of the
new lace veils-the real lace wherever
possible-deftly adjusted, not only to
the size and shape of the hat, but to
the contour of the wearer's features as
well. Those voilettes au vent or wind
wells, as the Parisiennes term them,
are absolutely indispensable with the
later type of hat that the second wind,
so to speak, of the summers fashions
has brought forth. Chantiy lace is in
the very first flight of fashion, and
after that the Spanish laces are in
vogue. Net laces of several kinds are
offered, and extremely dainty and be-
coming patterns are shoGn in those at
a very reasonable sum. Lierre, Bru-
ges, Brussels, Honton and several OF
the applique laces will prove an ex-
ceedingly good investment. as their use
in other departments of dress will be
suggested, after this little wind veil
fad becomes passe.

The ceinture, sash, belt or girdle or
whatever one chooses to call it, flour
ishes nightly in these days in spite
of the popularity of ths corselet and
princesse dresses. The continued vogue
of the separate blouse aids much in
this and many of the best makers
abroad are still clinging to the separ-
ate bodice and skirt style, with
smart ceinture as a finish for the cos
tune.
Ribbon belts are very much to the
fore, and almost every shape and size
is equally modish Shirrings, usually
made in conjunction with tiny pin
tucks, are still marked feature, and
strips of featherbone, or else one of the
ready made featherbone frames, makes
the foundation and determines the
shape
The nd-embroidered belt is not by
any means confined to linen and lin
gerie materials. One sees it in silk and
in velvet-this latter in both the rib
ron and the piece weaves-and in cloth
to match the gown. All of the popular
modes of embroidery ara, so exploited,
eyelet and pierced work, solid raised
work of the kind that is known as blind
embroidery, lace stitches, and even the
insertion of fancy medahions.
The new braids that are scheduled
for autumn uses are delightful fabrics
wherein to display ones skill with the
embroidery needle. A stunning exam
pie was noted the other day in con-
junction with a smart blue serge gown
that spoke Paris i'm IT'S every line and
fold. There was a short bolero and
plain skirt and the belt was of black
braid, broad, and with the queer-look-
ing letters Of the Chinese alphabet en-
broidered in duh scarlet, dull blue,
sage green and brown, each piece de-
fined with a COUGHING of gold thread
all the way around. The work was
heavily padded underneath, so that
each stitch stood out boldly and show
ed up to the uttermost advantage.
