Spanish lace and appliques of soft lib

The demitrained skirt bears broad
bands of lace, the designs of which are
outlined with silver threads, while the
network Is covered with crescent
shaped bits of satin. A f1ounce of the
lace, so ornamented, finished the skirt,
which is close-fitting about the hips.
The girdle is of liberty satin stitched
with narrow bands of silk soutache
and silver braid.
The effect of the satin appiiques
upon the naturally rich silk ground of
the Spanish lace is delicious, and
when to this is added the delicate
tracery of silver embroidery. a garni-
ture unexcelled in beauty is gained.
The bodice is draped with bertha of
the lace, and in order that its effect
may be heightened, there are little
straps of black satin across the shoul-
ders, but they are cleverly worked in
with the lace to subdue their effect.

Umbrella Cover as Hair Protec,o,

A woman who was the proud pos
SCISSOR of a braid of hair which reach
ed well below her knees, every hair
even and the whole one satiny length
of golden brown, gave this secret of
the beauty of her crowning glory. 1t
certainly is an original scheme, TO say
the least.
She took the cover of her silk UNI
brella Ga use for them at last. and
each night after the dust of the day
had been removed by vigorous
brushing, this cover was drawn snug
ly over the braid and securely tied.
Thus the ends were kept unbroken
and the hair untangled. no matter how
restless she was. By the way, in se-

AMERICAN SKIRT IN PARIS.

There is certain vogue for what is

DRINKING AT MEALS.
Water Should Be Taken Only After
Eating, Says an Authority.

Most physicians today will tell you
never to take any liquid, and least of
all water, during meals. There are,
however. two sides to the question
Those with a tendency to gout or
other diseases arising from excess of
uric acid should avoid liquids until
two hours, at least after eating.
For those without such a tendency
there is no harm in drinking a moder-
ate amount at the end of the meal
There is, therefore, sound reason
,ack of the custom of keeping the cof-
fee for the last course. Even when this
prandial drinking is permissible, one
should avoid excess. A little cold
water in the mouth is often just as re-
freshiug as If gallons of the liquid had
been consumed.
The great American fault-or one of
them-is the consumption of enormous
quantities of ice water, which is really
deadly beverage and not fit for civil
lied man to drink emphasize civil
ized," for no savage would do anything
so stupid as to chill and paralyze the
muscles of his stomach in the belief
that he is cooling his skin.
The rules, then, are: A little water
if you are healthy and your stomach
is normal. not too cold, and taken at
the end of the meal And thus will
you avoid the countless ills to which
most drinkers during meals are heir.

COLONIAL socIALs A FAD.
It Can Be Made Success in Every
Community.


There is one form of sociable whi"
is warranted to be success. since
every one is interested in 1t from the
start; this is the Colonial social
The committee should canvass thor
oughly, letting no house escape, for in
every one something is tucked away
which speaks of earlier days. The
committee on decorations may hang
the walls of the parlors with crossed
swords. old muskets and flags, and por-
traits of Washington and other colo
nial heroes. Around the rooms may
be tables and chairs of old mahogany.
spinning wheels. andirons, and curious
kettles. Arranged around the wall
may be long, narrow tables draped
with cheese cloth in blue and yellow,
bearing old silver, brass candlesticks,
snuffers. decanters, slippers, en-
broidery, fans and jewelry, with sam
piers. warming pans, old mirrors and
family portraits above. Each article
should he labeled with the owners
name. the date of the manufacture, or
event In connection with it.
1t is a good plan to have everything
brought to the parlors early in the
day and returned at the close of the
sociable to prevent possible loss. 1t
is one of the interesting things about
the sociable to see the quality of
relics even the smallest town has hid
den away.
For entertainment some one may
sing some of the revolutionary ballads,
or tell a curious event in family his
tory, or read from old records. Or
there may be recitations of such things
as Paul Revere's Ride" of "Doro-
thy a. or some description of life
in colonial days. OF course the whole
affairs is more delightful If the hostess
at least can come in quaint old silk
or cotton gowns, with tall combs and
huge fans, and powdered hair.
AS to refreshments, there should
certainly be poundcake and mulled
cider, and perhaps doughnuts, or little
spicy cookies. A great deal of fun
can be had If old recipe books are
hunted up and some of the things
tried which are suggested there.
This sociable suggests one on much
the same lines, where a real New
England supper is served at six, all
sitting down at long tables to eat the
same dishes which were served long
ago. Afterwards the same entertain
ment may be provided as at the colo
nial sociable, with or without the pret-
ty old dresses.

HoLLoWE'EN SUGGESTIONS.

A hostess l know is planning the
most delightful party on record for
the 31st, and she has made all the
favors. which are indeed worthy of de
scription. OF course nearly all these
same articles could have been purch
ased at the shops, but this good woman
remarked that making the pretty tri
fies had kept the children happily EN-
ployed for nearly week, fact
worthy of consideration by most
mothers.
AT the druggists nearly all sizes OF
round boxes were obtained and were
covered with scarlet crepe paper; or
the lid was fastened wicked-lookine
little black cat, tiny pumpkin,
witch or ghost, etc. One, especially
enticing, had a diminuitive mirror
with wee candle beside it. To buy
all these favors entails considerable
expense; making them cuts the price
more than half, besides the joy o.
creating the dainty trifies.
The envelopes which are to enclose
the invitations are to be of a deer
orange hue sealed with lighter shade
of yellow in the form of little JACK
OIanterns, the flap of the envelope
, being apparently thrust throught the
teeth of the Jack in a most comicai
manner.
The dining-room table is to be gor
geous in the extreme. For the center
piece there is to be the most mann
moth pumkin obtainable, with holes
bored in circle around the top to
hold Just as many tall white candles
as can be crowded on. The four sides
will have cuts of grotesque faces, and
either end of the table will have small
er pumkins filled with fruits with
clusters of grapes overhanging the
sides. Then there is to be another
circle of candle in alternate holders OF
yellow carrots and white turnips. The
mantel will be adorned with a row OF
candles in corn holders, first a red
ear then one of white.
The contest of the evening is to be
carving faces out of bell-shaped white
squashes with the pretty scalloped
cages. Each guest may select the
squash for his or her labors. and the
hnished productions are to be put on
exhibition for the criticism of all pres.

High Crowns and Turndown Brims.
In autumn millinery there still is a
tendency to wear hats with rundown
brims, having exceedingly high and
prominent crowns of velvet and cas-
cading plumage so set as to hide the
crown in front completely. Another
new plumage setting is t6 cover the
nat crown totally and increase the
crown dimensions by this means enor-
mously. Velvet poufs, rosettes and
bows will turn out to be the autumn
trimming for straw hats, in dark col
ors, as well as for many of the sum-
mer hats in beige and mustard
shades. We may expect a rather
heavy effect to ensue, but that we
shall have to get our eyes accustomed
to. Those who object to it must insist
on the lightest style of feather hat
trimmings. This feature makes
great difference because of it's prom
