Simple Evening Gowns for Debutantes

If a southern trip is contemplated
together an appropriate outfit, for this
midseason trousseau has grown of late
years to be every bit as important as
the outfit for any other time of the
year The two gowns described above
could be worn perfectly well for the
next few months in any climate. An
exceptionally pretty costume for gen
eral afternoon wear Is Z gown CT light
blue chiffon, entirely accordion plated
Down the length of the dress are LAID
panels of black and White striped sat
in ribbon, the PANELS being left loose
some inches above the hem, over ruff
fies of lace, bordered with the black
and white ribbon. A large black hat
draped with pale blue tulle and full
white feather at the let side of the
brim completes a stunning outfit.
1t is easier to acquire a good effect
without much trimming from heavy
texture, as silk or satin, than from
anything so soft and indefinite as chif-
fon, 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 neeo
not be over much trimmed. 1t is the
cut and general style Of the gown
which really counts. after all, and il
the color is becoming the effect is sure
TO be good.

the whole family warmed over. By a
little ingenuity totally different serv-
ing from on Christmas day can be cas-.
lily accomplished, such as the use OF
the following, says the New York
Globe:
Turkey Loaf.-Chop fine or put
through the mincer. Take enough meat
and fine crumbs of one day old bread
to measure one quart; add two eggs,
beaten unseparated. one level table.
spoonful of butter, one level teaspoon
full of celery salt, one-haIf teaspoonful
of paprika and one cupful of turkey
soup stock. Mix thoroughly, pack in
oval mold or bread Pan, buttered, and
bake in a moderate oven until 1t leaves
the sides of the pan. Run a fiat knife
blade around, invert into hot dish
and garnish with steamed olives or
pinolas and balls of the dressing.
Pressed Turkey. Another delicious
way to serve the meat is to take one
pint of minced turkey, four rolled
soda crackers, half teaspoonful OF
salt, one-fourth teaspoonful pulverized
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1906-12-22

cloves, a generous pinch of pulverized
allspice, one tablespoonful of butter
and two eggs, whites beaten separate
ly until stiff and added last. Pack in
buttered ring mold, set in pan of
cold water and bake in the oven until
firm. Unmold on a hot dish and fill
the center with potato balls. Garnish
with parsley.
Plum Pudding Croquettes-Take the
left over pudding and bind together
with egg yolks, form into balls, roll
in fine breadcrumbs, dip into beaten
yolk diluted with cream, then recover
with crumbs; fry in deep smoking not
fat until light brown, drain into pa
per, heap on folded napkin after roll
ing in pulverized sugar, trim with hol-
ly and serve as dessert with egg
sauce.

New Schedule Of Wage Increase viii
Become Effective First Of Year.
Officials OF the Order of Railway
Ielegraphers have returned from Bal
timore, where they have been in con-
ference with General Manager Thomas
Fitzgerald and other officials for sew
eral days.
A new schedule was presented by
committee of telegraphers, represent
ing practically every local division of
the organization on the B. & o. sys-
TEN. The schedule calls for better
working conditions and a substantial
increase in salaries.
The officials claimed that they were
paying ordinary railroad wages and,
while it was not generally known, a
strike was for some time threatened.
The operators would make no conces-
sions and their demands were finally
granted. A large force of men in this
district are affected.
The new schedule, including the
wage increase, will take effect January
/. The exact amount OF the increase
was not made public, but it is under
stood that it is in conformity with the
advance granted men in other depart
ments of the service

Among the extremely elaborate
gowns it Is always a relief to notice
some few frocks which stand out be-
cause of their simplicity. 1t is true
that there are a few severely plain
costumes this season, hut still there
are many that depend almost solely
upon the beauty of their material for
effect. A number of the soft satins
have noticeably little trimming, and
there are even a few soft chiffons and
nets that have singularly little adorn-
ment.
In the first illustration is shown an
exceedingly attractive gown for a de-
butante, and this model usually is Sc
verely 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 man
ner that is always becoming TO the
figure. The little guiInpe is of lace,
trimmed with chiffon loses, relieved
iridescent spangles, and the lace
bertha falling over the revers of panne
velvet, bordered with pink satin, is
also embroidered over with the pal
lettes. The sleeves are of chiffon, ex-
tremely full and untrimmed, save for
the cuff effect, bound with lace roses
and narrow ruches of panne velvet

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS.
How the Dinner Table May Be Arts
tically Arranged.


In planning for Christmas festivities
the question of table decorations is or
real importance; therefore sugges
lions for a unique and artistically ar
ranged dinner table may be of SER
vice. SAYS Mrs. Nj. l.. Barber, in the
Ladies' Home Journal The covers
may be laid for as many as may be
desired In the center have square
bed of holly, from the middle of which
there may rise a small Christmas tree
suitably decorated. At either end of
the table stand the candelabra, which
for this occasion should have red can
dies and red shades. At each lady's
place have a corsage bouquet of bright
red flowers tied with red ribbon and
for the gentlemen boutonieres of mis-
tletoe.
Have suspended over the table lit
tie above the Tree a large bell of req
flowers, from the top of which reach
ing to each plate, may hang red rib
bons about an inch wide, held in place
by the weight of the dinner card
which should be perforated near the
top, allowing the end Of the ribbon
to pass through and tie in bow. On
the upper side of the card should be
written the guests name and on the
reverse side a verse from some
Christmas poem. The cards should be
numbered so that the verse may be
read aloud, No /, of course, beng Civ
en- to the guest of honor. The tree
may be hung with small hright.coloreo
gifts. which may be distributed when
the coffee is served.
The presents may consist of sivel
thimbles for the ladies and little girls
and pencils and whistles for the mer
and boys, since Christmas is one o.
the few days when children may
grace the festive board,
An attractive lunch table for Chris
mas day may be arranged somewhat
after the same plan, using green anC
white for decorations. In place of the
bell of flowers a bunch of small bell:
matching the ribbon used, or still bet
ter. Dresden china bells, may be sus
pended above the table.

Materials Give Effect.
BY MRS. A. T. ASIIMORE.


The skirts is unusually long and is LAID
in tight side plaits so as to be extreme
ly full. Bordering the skirt are d
double ruffie of velvet and row OF
chiffon flowers which are connected by
bands of satin. The different mate
rials in this dress are necessarily
somewhat different in oolorlng, but al
together they help to make the gown
noticeable.
A most effective model for & span
sgled gown is shown in the second il
lustration. Over an Empire gown
white net is laid, as shown in the fig
ure, broad bands of flame eolored
paillettes. The little guimpe is of
white applique lace, and some of the

ty satin is untrimmed, depending for
effect upon soft folds aud draping OF

needs to be well interiined, but even
then it is style of coat more suitable
for the spring or to be worn at a
southern winter resort.

WORLDS SPEED KING.
Gasoline Car Driven Two Miles In
Less Than Minute in Ormond-
Dayton Races.

crowned speed king Of the world Mon
day afternoon on the Dayton. Florida.
sauds after: driving his gasoline car
two miles in the marvellous. time Of
IS 4-5 seconds. Demogeot maintained
a speed of 1913 miles an hour to make
this record.
The two mile a minute race closed
the automobile tournament for this
season. The competition in this
event had narrowed down to Mar
riott, in the steamer, and to the big
2Oo-horse power French car, who ever
should drive it. Demogeot .was final
" selected.
On the first trial Marriott went
first, but the best he could do was one
minute and three seconds: Demo.
geot brought the crowd: to: its feet by
reducing. Marrieett'S : time to ] minute
I -2-:5 seconds: x:
Refe;rFee, Morrill, = decided to give
each car trial Il; see if the time
could be brought within the minute.
Marriott came first again, and this
time faster: He made the two miles
in SO 3-5 seconds. It seemed impos-
sible that the clumsly looking French
car should reduce this. but the Flodl-
da Times-Union $1,000 trophy was
lost to America few moments later
when Demogeot thundered over the
two mile course in IS As seconds, the
fastest speed ever attained by an au-
tomobile. Demoeeot was crowned
with a laurel wreath by Miss Mary
