Correct Corsets,

Nothing can be more absurd than
to see, as one constantly does, short
stout woman, who by the aid OF
straight fronted corsets, has succeed
ed in so lengthening her waist line as
to get it apparently just midway be-
tween her toes and her shoulders. To
begin with, this really is not good
style, as the tendency of the moment
rather is towards the high wasted
effect of the empire. At the same time
this is a season of large liberty in
ones choice in dress, and a we'll balanc-
ed fgure-tall and slim, and yet well
rounded, being favorably suited by a
long wasted effect-can and wisely
does secure that end. The short, stout
woman should strive to establish a
proper proportion between the upper
and lower parts of her figure. She
should not allow her things to be
made too tight, nor her small stature
to be overpowered by large hat

Restful Room.

Tones of brown and soft yellow
with a little white and good deal of
green are very restful for a room in
viii oh much time is spent, such as
dining-room or a study. A pretty lit
tie workroom fitted up for girl who
writes and is singularly sensitive to
her surroundings has walls OF soft
green. The brown polished floor has
two dim colored Persian rugs. The
couch pillows are of green and white
and yellow and wood browns. The
desk and bookcases are of mahogany,
the woodwork of the room is white,
and the hangings of the wide window
and the coverings of the chairs and
couch are of linen taffeta with a
ground of tan on which are woody
brown leaves and pale yellow flowers
with fresh green stems. The effect is
very bright and yet not too light for
winter room.

Demand for Soft Silks,

How far away we are from the old,
stiff silks that cracked and tore up
almost before they were made up!
The woman of to-day demands that
silks be soft, pliable and cling to the
figure so as to accentuate it's lines.
She will not for moment consider
the use of stiff, unwieldy fabrics.
This has resulted in the manufacture
of exquisite chiffon taffetas that drape
as softly as crepe. OF these latter
there Is an abundance to choose from
this fall, as we'll as the supple, bril-
liant liberties, which are being daily
more used for the wonderful creations
Of the Paris modiste.
Tussor, the softest of silk or silk
and wool, Is almost always shown in
solid color, but sometimes appearing
in Pekin effects, with graduated
stripes, which offer splendid oppor-
tunity for novel combinations of
colors.

Net Buttons,

Net buttons will be worn great
deal on many Of the fine waists and
lace coats. The work is mostly handi-
work, for the buttons are made with
net and fine embroidery silk or cot
ton. Filet designs are very neat for the
buttons and show the silk Innings be-
meath. Where the waist is colored, the
lining matches the waist, though the
embroidery is mostly done with black;
white or ecru. Hand-painted buttons
are fashionable in Paris, though for
some unaccountable reason American
women prefer something a trife more
handsome. Some of the hand-painted
affairs are of Dutch blue, outlined with
white, frequently odd designs like
ships, sail boats, rustic scenery, etc.,
being used as decorative feature.

The Corset.

THE whole essence of a successful
appearance revolves around this spe-

thority.

Lingerie that is dainty and sheer

women prefer to reserve this ribbon

rather than to give it to the maid to

outfit comprising the latest and most

WHEN BABY is CHRISTENED.
Rules Generally Observed at This I'M
portant Ceremony.

Inc christening ceremony should
take place at the church unless there
is very good reason for doing other
wise. Relatives, sponsors and friends
are invited to be present either ver-
bally or the mother sends informal
little notes telling of the event, giving
the hour, etc. After the service a
luncheon, or supper may be served,
to which the clergyman, sponsors and
relatives are invited. If nothing elab-
crate is desired it is perfectly proper
to have refreshments suitable for an
afternoon tea, with the time-honored
caudle, which is a dring always Of
fered in olden days on the occasion of
a christening.
This is the rule for making; it is
best to prepare most of it the day be-
fore using: Stir two cups of oatmeal
into three quarts of boiling sailed
water; put in three sliced lemons, a
large cup of seeded raisins, a grated
nutmeg and a stick Of cinnamon. Cook
In a double boiled for two hours,
strain through a colander and leave to
cool. Before serving heat to the boil
ing point, add pint of best brandy,
a pint of mulled sherry, half tumbler
of rum and one quart of scalded milk.
Place in punch bowl; serve in bouil-
Ion cups with silver ladle, placing
a spoonful Of whipped cream on the
top with a bit of grated lemon rind.
1t is customary to ask young matron
to serve the caudle.
flowers, candle shades, cakes, etc. The
bonbons must be white sugared al
monds, they are invariably used at
French christening parties. Great
care should be taken in selecting the
god-parents. It is customary to give
a boy two god-fathers and one god
mother; girl has one god-mother and
one godfather. If people have means
it is proper to bestow gifts upon the
baby, who Is supposed to be about
two months old at this time.
After returning from the church the
child is not in evidence, but is kept
quiet in the nursery following all the
unusual excitement. In some families
the same christening robe is handed
down from generation to generation.
This is very pretty custom and one
to be commended. Reception gowns
Of the simplest character are worn,
for this is first of all, a religious cere-
mony and should not be turned into a
large society function.

Washable Cravats.

A cravat of lawn which is to be
worn with an embroidered linen collar
and which can be washed every week,
may be embroidered in three narrow
scallops, forming a rounded END. A
stripe Of shadow embroidery in color
is above this and above the stripes is
a feur-de-lis in white. They are easy
to make and are considered. chic. !" \:
