winds, for there are no longer two sides
to the question. Short sleeves. except
for evening wear. are now practically

Hats That Do Not Match.

A fashion note says that II is dis
tinctly the thing to wear a hat that
does not match the frock this season.
This may be true enough as far as
color is concerned, but it is perfectly
wearer, and this is distinctly not the
thing.
why is it," asked an artist. that
women cannot realize that clothes
should bear some relation to the person
of the wearer. and not be q mere eX-
crescence upon ity
What women need to cultivate in Sc
Iecting their clothes is sense of per-
spective Just get of way from
cheval glass; and look at yourself with
haIf-closed eyes an artist does when
he Is studying line and proportion, and
see If the lines that you see there are
pleasing or otherwise. In doing this
do not forget to get a profile view and
see what kind of silhouette you would
make If the lines you see have any
sort of unity and hang together as IL
were, the chances are that your clothes
suit you and are becoming, But II you
see gaping hollows and unrelated
curves. il your hat touches only in the
high places or is out OF proportion gen.
orally. YOU had better try again.
Returning to the discussion or color
in hats, one might add that in case one
wears a costume with a coat of con-
trasting color ii would be well TO have
the hat repeat the color either of the
coat or frock. With gown of neutral

such as sapphire or peacock blue. en-

entirely. and in the evening we are not
to cover them at all. Once again. and
one cannot help rejoicing. it is the
mode to permit the upper part of the
arm to be seen in all its beauty. 1t Is
a well-known fact that the average
woman does not possess really per-
feet forearm. but that in many cases
the upper part of the arm IS u thing
of distinct beauty 1t Is generally white
and plump. and nothing can be more
graceful than this shoulder outline
when we are permitted TO sec it. To
display this point of vantage many Of
the most exquisite evening frocks show
bodices with practically no sleeves.
They have beautiful shoulder straps Of
passementerie or jeweled lace, and
floating lengths OF transparent mate
rails outline the arm, with the ends tied
in loose bows. or they hang straight
down in wing fashion.
The bodices OF these evening frocks
are nearly always of great apparent
simplicity. Folds of the supple fabrics
are drawn slightly across the Dust and
fastened invisbly 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.
The skirts worn with these waists are
trimmed extravagantly. often with en-
broideries. although the princess cut IS
severe in outline.

Pretty Xmas Gifts.

Choosing holiday gifts when one hears
so much about the scarcity of money is a
difficult but no impossible task. for there
are many practical and inexpensive pres
ents that will be appropriate and more
than acceptable to the average woman.
In the list of such articles are gloves.
They are an actual necessity. and there
fore are welcome at all times. Just now
the varieties shown in the shops give a
wide latitude to select from. There are
the favored black and white street styles,
made in twelve button length. cut with
the English thumb. They close at the
wrist with large pearl fasteners. Though
quite heavy glove they fit the hand
beautifully, being flexible. The cost is
81 pair.
Another novelty is the long glove with
vandyke points of another shade let in at
the top.
AS to these additional color touches
pine white. ivory and the cream tones are
used with such delicate evening tints, as
mauvre. pale green, flesh color and goose
berry. These are worn with evening
gowns. In the elbow length they cost
$3.50 and s4.75 a pair.

but at othe period when the blond has
faded and the bright coloring Of the bru-
nette departed, leaving a coarseness or a
sallowness. the between" woman will
often retain much Of her youthful fresh
ness.
The Fitting Of Hats.
When you are purchasing your hat go
to a milliner who has sufficient time to
fit the hat and bandeau to your head. BY
having perfect fit before your chapeau
Is trimmed you will be repaid by having
a sense Of comfort all the time you are
wearing it. 1t then stays put and you
thus avoid some of the wabbling that
the weight of the hat causes. 1t is best
always to try on hats before a full-length
mirror, as the real effect Of your chapeau
is better ascertained.
Song Of the Sleeve.
AS to sleeves this season, those used in
coats are all wrist length, whether the
material of the garment Is cloth. fur or
velvet and the length of the wrap short
long or medium. The plain two piece con-
ventional coat sleeve prevails on strictly
tailored wraps. This is untrimmed save
for turnAback cum or Dra10 set on 10
simulate cuff
With the suit in military style the
sleeve is coat shaped, but usually finish
ed with a fiat velvet cuff held down with
braid, and, of course, the high band collar
matches.
The long tweed tourist coats show the
plain coat sleeve but more generous in
size than those in wraps cut on trim, nat
tier lines. while the dressier looking long
coat boasts sleeves in more fanciful ef-
fects. These, however, are always wrist
length but may be cut very full. then
plated to flt the wrists and laid in cuffs
as elaborate as one wishes. Braid and
buttons are the usual decoration this sea-
son. soutache being very much used
A Child's Dress.
For good dress for a child, and this
means something for church or party
wear. nothing is more girlish than dress
of soft cashmere in dainty blue tint.
The skirt may be made with double
rune, lne upper Oie OctiS tho "'os.l VI
the lower one, the two forming the skirt
length. The waist is made full. with a
rounded bertha slit about every six inches
and neatly trimmed with an edging Of
knife-plaited blue silk ribbon. The yoke
will be dainty If fashioned OF all-over
swiss embroidery. A touch Of 1t should
also be seen below the pulled cashmere
sleeves Hand-embroidery will give a
neat finish, though the simple style will
be pretty without extra trimming.

Stylish Footwear.

Now that walking skirts are cut SO
short. women are giving a good deal Of
attention to their footwear.
The patent leather vamps. with high
buttoned tops Of a color matching or con-
trasting with the material of the suit, are
much favored, all the seams being covered
with strappings of the patent leather.
Another popular shoe is of tan, the vamp
of leather and the top Of kid or ooze a
shade darker. Pale gray and oyster white
kid are combined with patent leather quite
frequently.

The wonderful part is the trimming. for
around each edge is a wide. stiff fringe

else. In color it is dark at the base. shad-
ing to a light gray toward the tips. When

most cases 1t can be even independent in
the matter, but at the first hint that this

must be considered seriously. For in
stance. when the blue-eyed woman finds
that the azure of her orbs is becoming
a trife dim she will bring back the tone
by wearing blue frocks and SIZE will
wear touches of blue near her face. The
sister whose complexion has never been
beyond reproach will eschew yellow,
