Hoods on Wraps

II GODS of exquisite lace, and fac
- ing frills of the same lace, are
details recently introduced upon
wraps.
Often these are modelled of crepe,
soft silk and chiffon. The latter are
really more elaborate than beautiful,
losing their charm of fold and line
in fussy, perishable details.
They are also shown separately
or detached from the coats.
A beautiful model seen was of sill
yer gray crepe made along the shawl
lines, which are so smart this season.
1t was embroidered to a great
depth in dull tones of coppery
brown, yellow and rose.
A capacious hood, embroidered in
the same colors and lined with fine
yellowed lace and detachable, fell al
most to the waist line in the back
and formed shoulder drapery.
Frills of the same lace showed in
the great, wide sleeves and faced the
loose front. Lone folds of copper
brown silk fell down the front.
The whole effect was wonderfully
beautiful.

4 LII well-fnished skirts have
a hangers; they are made four
inches long and sewed fat to the in
side belt, more toward the back than
the front; the skirt is heavier
toward the back.
Work fancy stitch with colored
silk on center of belt, which indl-
Gates centerfront.
The best method of putting on
fasteners is to sew them strongly
to a stout piece of silk tape, hem
ming these strips of tape closely to
opening after all the pressing is
done. The faster RS are apt to make
shiny places when pressing is done
after they are in place.
When the belt is of silk it should
be cut on the straight goods, usual
ly two and one-quarter inches long
er than the size of the waist. This
allows for seams and the lap, the
widths varying; very narrow for a
stout figure, not more than half
inch wide when finished, whereas
slim person may have one ar inch
wide when finished.
Stitch one edge to outside of
skirt, taking three-eighths inch
seam off; then tlr.- remaining edge
over the top of the skirt, turn over
another three-eighths inch seam
and stitch down by hand or machine.
A deep rufle aided to the lower
edge of the gins ham aprons used in
the kitchen is a great protection.
So many grease spots seem to get
Oh the bit of the dress showing be-
low the ordi, airy apron.
The joining of fiounce to skirt is
q simple matter The lower edge of
the skirt is turned up once, then
the fiounce is basted on and mar
row ribbon or bias strip of silk
conceals the join and forms a neat
finish.
A box-pleated ruching sewn to the
end of the founce is a decided I'M
provement in many ways. In lifting
the belt-which, by the way, varies
in width. a stout figure requiring
but the least bit of belt, a slender
figure finding one measuring two
inches wide the better choice-it
will be found wise to place the belt
around the waist first, then pin the
skirt to it. rather than basting. and
then trying on, because in this way
the skirt may be raised or lowered

but when the frock is of lowered Or
CANDY or similar fabric plain rib
bons of the prevailing color in the
dress are best.
1t may seem unnecessary to say
this, but the mistake is so often
made that the caution may posi-
bly, be welcomed.
Very delicate colors in hair rib
bons should be used when the hair
is dressed to roll back from the
face and is tied just at the back
of the ears. This brings the bows
close to the face, and decided col
orings are not always becoming to
piquant little features.
White, of course, may always be
relied upon, blue is comparatively
safe, but pink or green should be
used with caution.
The shell shade of pink is excep-
tionally pretty Wheel combining
brown or golden-br locks; pale
green and white may be used for
chestnut haired bellies.
When the hair is divided into
front and back portions, and the
former is take, pompadour fashion
to the crown of the head and tied
there, the color of the ribbon is of
less Importance; almost anything at
hand will answer, especially if the
back portion falls unconti-.ed. If,
however, as sometimes happens, it
is braided, the due regard should
be given to the color selected, as the
ribbon is brought rather near the
face.
Young girls from IA year; of age
and upward re usually very fastid-
ious in the matter of hair ribbons.
The fashion of wearing a large
bow with rosette of narrow ribbon
to match is a pretty one, and, right
ly arranged, very coquettish style.
The front hair should be in a parted
pompadour effect, both sides pulled,
then tied at the left. The fluffy lit
tie rosette conceals the string. and.
incidentally, a safety pin makes a
better security for this than a hair
pin.
The back hair is braided at the
nape of the neck, then Topped and
tied with broad ribbon in a very
large bow.
Black hair ribbons are always cor
rect for morning and street wear,
and often give tone or character to
light toilet.
Soft, black ribbon is generally
preferred to the sitter taffeta on
account of the rusty look that this
silk takes on after it has been worn
q short time.

Hints for the Home Dressmaker

according to the figure or slight Pc
culiarities of the wearer.
There are few figures so perfect
that no alterations are necessary.
In the event of a plain-faring foun-
dation skirt being chosen and no.
ruffle, then it should be interlined
with a thin hair-cloth or the feath-
erbone that comes for the purpose,
otherwise the outer skirt will fall
in around the feet. The seams be-
ing carefully stitched and pressed
son the skirt proper, the belt should
be adjusted, marking it with colored
cotton exactly at this point to be
pinned to the center of the front
gore and a lap of an inch and q
half in the back.
One word about princess and the
ordinary skirts. They have widen
ed around their lower edge until
they measure from four yards and
a half to five yards and a half. It
is, therefore, necessary to pay strict
attention to the tapping of the full
ness so that it hang as it should.

line of his spreading wings near the
top of the collar, is particularly eff.
fective.
Laces and lingerie bows of all
shapes are worn, and are exceeding
ly pretty, but many of them have to
be ripped entirely apart for laun.
dering.
Loops and ends, exquisitely EN-.
broidered, are in most of these bows.
and many of the fine pleated rabats
have bows to match attached-as is
the case, too, with many of the frills
for blouse fronts.
At first, nearly all these frills
were finely pleated, but this made
laundry problems. and now one
finds many implicated frills of lace
and embroidery, or entirely of lace,
with tiny relieving knots of narrow
ribbon.
Any of these collars. rabats or
frills may readily be made at home
at very slight cost-then there is
the added attraction that they may
be made to fit.
AS Christmas gifts they are de-
ightfui.
Among the silk ties the soft scarf
of greater or less width is the ia.
vorite, and is tied in an ordinary
bow.
Very narrow, stiff little ties Of
silk, usually in black, bright green.
purple or apricot yellow or China
blue, are worn, tied in prim little
bow.
There are many varieties of the
made bows which are not looked up
on with scorn, and they often give
better effect than the tie which goes
around the neck and must be tied
each time.
The simpler these bows are the
better their air, as a rule, and one
Of the most satisfactory is formed
of two exceedingly tiny bows of taf-
feta set closely one above The other.
A bar pin holding the two sides
of the collar closely together and
passing between the two knots fast
ems the bow securely and gives a
trim finish to the neck arrangement.
The first illustration shown is in
bright green tafeta. The bow is
small and smartly stiff, and has
four ends. The ends may be plain
or finished with tiny balls &C taffeta,
as shown in the sketch.
The second sketch is of velvet
ribbon, one inch in width. Old blue,
purple and green and black are tbs
colors mostly worn. The ends are
ornamented with silk fringe, or q
fringe made of tiny beads may be
chosen.
The third drawing may be made
ND either of taffeta or velvet. The
fringe is of silk, OF if silk is used in
making the tie, the ends may be Of
the same material. frayed.

Hair Ribbons for Young Girls

a T FIRST sight white may be
"A thought an extravaganza, on
account OF its showing soil so easily,
but this really is not so.
On the contrary, it is economy,
for white hair ribbons will be pretty
worn with every kind of colored
frock, and when unclean can be
much more successfully washed
than most colors.
For quite small girls, whose heads
are bobbcd, dainty pink or blue
bow that ties the lock off the face,
the loops coming on the left side, is
pretty decoration.

Little brunettes and those consid-

Next to all white hair ribbons
come those in Dresden designs and
pompadour effects. Those, too, give
an agreeable finish to a white toilet.

Mandarin Styles

THE fad for mandarin styles is
seen on gowns, coats, capes and
matinees. The mandarin shoulder
is popular.
An extremely pretty negligee on
this order is of softest pale pink
silk, the low neck outlined by motifs
of embroidery worked in pink silk.
with an inch square of valenciennes
lace set into each medallion, the
flowing sleeves finished to match.
A distinguished feature of a
longer wrapper was the way the
interlining was held in place; in
stead of the usual quilting. feat

one-inch lengths, and, scattered over

Large Hats Continue

THE hat of the moment is ex-
L tremely large, although there is
a rumor that shapes are to be modi-
fed and that medium, even small,
models may be fashionable before
the winter is o7er.
White terry velvet covers one of
the most handsome hats, the trim
ming-enormous white velvet roses
holding sprays of black velvet
leaves and an immense black and
white brush, and rivaGng this hat is
a CONNECTION of erlninc. white tulle
and paradise plumes.
The frame, wide trimmed and low
of crown, is covered with ernine,
and fluffy plumes wave gracefully
backward from the left side, but the
prettiest feature is 1. twist of tulle
about the crown, lightly appliqued
with tiny ermine tails.

Combs and Pins

THE plain amber-colored combs
L and pins for the blonde girl, and
those in dark shell for the brunette,
are entirely correct this winter.
The combs are smarter when
made with plain tops, without knobs
or other decorations.
The button pins are used where
the hair is worn on top of thethead.
The top part of these pins turr back
over the hair in a fat piece of shell
like large button.
The effect is very good.
For keeping flying ends of the
hair at home are shown corkscrew
pins of amber - strengthening
things that screw into the hair in
spiral fashion, so that it would seem
that they never would come oVt
again.
But they are, in fact. compare

Presumably the ernbroiderers responsible
for this shaping because they want to do their en-
broidery designs Upon straight pieces Of linen, but
the result is often trying, and in order to get col
lars to fit great many women compelled to
make their own.
Another plan that has been generally adopted
is to buy collar size small and then slit the but
tonhoe over at the bottom to the collar there.
1t is not difficult to rework the buttonholes,
and the tie hides any defect Il the base of the col
lar, while if the top of the col.r is too large, it
stands out from the neck in most unbecoming
fashion.
Another thing to remember in connection with
these French coa-s is that hey are apparently
worked without any regard to ter actual size.

Spreading Collars

II SEEMS, almost necessary to
wear some kind of fancy pin
to keep the collar from spreading,
and to hold in place whatever bow
or tie is worn.
At present there is a great fad for
wearing either a bird or quaint
Egyptian pin for this purpose.
Another favuiite pin for the pur-
pose is the enameled or jeweled
dragon fly for holding the sides of
the collar together over a rabat or
tab which has no bow.

THE LONG SHOULDER LINE,

DAR1S still favors the long shoul-
der line, and most of the high
class creations now arriving in New
lork for the winter trade have this
effect introduced in some way, either
through the medium of shoulder
caps, epaulets or braid trimming
The originator of this idea is a
famous French dressmaker, who
discovered that long shoulder line
was becoming to every customer and
lent an air of distinction to the most
unattractive figure.
By employing this effect he was
able to broaden the shoulders and
taper the back, thus giving the APP
