Yes, and our most expensive pres

Just last week one of my nieces, who

and of whom / think good deal, was

plated silverware that cost four dol

Christmas superstitions.

There are many Christmas supersti-
tons long; held as articles of faith
that are to be recalled, says Country
Life How that oxen kneel in their
stalls at midnight on Christmas eve,
in alteration of the Nativity. and for
one hour have the power of speech
for that one hour too, the lost spirits
have rest. Judas sleeps. Herod ceases
to clank his chains, the daughter of
Herodias may pause in the dance, in
which she is condemned to spin for
ever, and Pilates, ghost ceases it's
wanderings on Mount Pilatus. 1t was
believed, too, that the sound of church
bells could be heard wherever a
church, had stood, though no trace re-
NAMED, and that, on that pregnant
night, one sleeping in a manger would
see his future in a vision.

uncertain parsonage. She takes de-
light in strong contrasts, and Is just
now giving us one in this very affair
of sleeves. In the daytime we are to
cover our arms completely, and at
night we are not to cover them at
all!
Once again-and one cannot but re-
Joice at the fact-it is the fashion to
permit the upper part of the arm to
be seen in all its beauty. 1t is we'll
known fact that the average woman
does not possess a really perfect fore
arm, but that in many cases the upper
part of the arm is a thing of distinct
beauty; it is. generally white and
plump. and nothing can be more grace
full than the shoulder outline, when
we are permitted to see it. Many of
the latest models of evening gowns
coming from the best Paris dress
makers show bodices with practically
no sleeves. They have beautiful
shoulder straps of passementerie or
jeweled lace ard floating lengths of
transparent materials are permitted to
outline the arm, the ends tied in loose
bows or hanging straight down in
wing fashion. The bodices of these
dresses are very often of great appar.
ent simplicity; folds of supple ma
terial drawn slightly across the bust
and fastened, invisibly, at the side
seam, or equally supple folds arranged
in cross-over fashion and caught down
at the waist by a handsome clasp or
buckle. With evening bodices of this
order the embroideries on the skirts
are gorgeous beyond description, but
then the skirts themselves are often
cut in Princess style and are severe In
outline.
On all the finest embroideries-and,
indeed, braidings-of this season we
find numbers of small tassels intro
duced, tassels to initiate the petals of
a large flower or to hang in frankly
impossible punches from the center of
a cluster of leaves. Tassels-and of
the most beautiful kind-are enjoying
a field days this winter, and on the
newest evening wraps they are abso-
lutely ubiquitous.

DANCES IN THE
GARB Of ORIENT

NEW YORK, June 1S.-Mrs. Ethel
Watts Mumford, or, as she now is, Mrs.
Grant, the well known authoress,
artist and wit, is credited with causing
a sensation by her Oriental dances at
a kimono party given last night by
Edmund Russell, the painter, author
and tourist, in his studio here.
Russell, who received his numerous
guests arrayed in a bejeweled state
kimono, presented him by the Gaekwar
of Baroda, thus describes her tefpsi
chorean achievement: "Her gown was
simply wonderful. She wore close
fitting Oriental garment covered and
spangled with costly gems. Her ap-
pearance was that of an Eastern
queen, and when she sat in carved
throne she looked superb; then her
dancing to the music of the tomtom
beaten by charming young grill Mrs.
Mumford- Grant danced two dances of
the Orient-two gliding, sensuous ere
ations. Such art. Such grace! 1t was
the sensation of the evening.
