Women Root a MuSEacbe

Fashionable men and the beaux and
the fops Of Berlin are wearing a sCrubby
mustache called indinerently "Ameri-
can" and English" which would be
utterly foreign in Hyde Park or on Fifth
avenue.
Only a few months ago these same
men were proud and happy to adorn
their upper lips with a mustache cut Ike
that which characterizes Emperor VIII
liam So patriotism may have. IN part.
melted the storm of public criticism Of
the new mustache from women.
4 leader OF society writes 10 a news
paper that she will not recognize any Of
her acquaintance who wears "a tooth
brush or mis- lip.
Man IS naturally very ugly" another
lady declares in print The only nat
uraI adOrnment he ever had was his
InUstache, and that he is rUthlessIy mu-
tilisting now Instead of the peaceful
ElrSute ornament Of the past. he is mar
ring his face with a lot Of bristles."
YET a third woman is organizing a
league OF unmarried girls. each OF whom
pledges herself not 10 marry a man who
sports an English" or American
InUs5ache.
All the fair critics protest against the
slaVlshness Of following a foreign fash
ion, and declare that If there Is anything
thoroughly national in the empire II IS
The German rustache.
Seeking 10 explain this feminine out
burst a newspaper ventures TO suggest
that the new mustlChe tiCkles a wom-
an - delicate face too much Then the
paper rejects its own suggestion by say
Ing that any mustache is better than
none and quoting the old Proverb:
To kiss man without TnUstache is
IKE eating an egg without salt"

Finishing the Brin

A little shirring viii be necessary on
the raw sdge TO make this square ut
the crown. and then It is arranged on
the outer brin with points at back,
front, AMI at sides, respectively. The
hat IS now entirely covered and only
lacks the trimming For this a large
bow OF pOmpadour ribbons has been
chosen. and a fun bunch OF flowers.
These are not really necessary, a large
bow tied at the counter and an extra
half yard for encircling the crown pro-
ducIng very pretty. dainty trimming.
Nowadays. when so much lingerie
work Is done at home, there are always
little ends and scraps Of lace and lawns
which might be utilized. with a Httle
ingenuity in combining Even such
short lengths OF lace and BITS Of lawn
or cambria mi ght enter into the con-
struction Of a dainty yoke, while a
scrap OF baby Irish. no more than two
inches in diameter, surrounded by a
little frtlI OF lace. form the crown for
a babys cap OF a dainty motif for
adjoining tie front Of lawn guimpe.

Gem Calendar
Is Latest Craze

Gem calendars are almost a necessity
nowadays 20 the woman OF fashion, II
she IS 10 keep pace with the craze for
her tropical jewelry.
To remember the particular precious
stone which belongs by right 20 the
month in which we are born does not
neeessitate such an effort as recalling
the telephone numbers Of ones imme-
date friends, but TO bear IN mind all
the changes which have TO be rung
with modern gems Of al kinds Is no
llghs task
Each day, we are now told. has its
separate stone. and among tho most su-
perstitious there are several who even
go so far as TO refuse 20 embark upon
journey. start a new venture, or give
an entertainment without pinn!ng on a
brooch or slipping on a bang.S or ring
containing the jewel OF the day
Sunday Is the day Of ali days when
the ruby should be worn. and the deep
er the color the more propItious the
gem. Moonstones are not considered the
luckiest OF jewels. but, Notwithstanding
this fact, TO wear them on Monday is
provocative - good fortune.
On Tuesday bad luck may be thwart-
ed by means Of pink and white coral.
Emeralds are favorable TO Wednesday,
and cat's-eyes 10 Thursday. while on
FRIDAY the woman who elects TO wear
her diamonds can rest content that she
has done her best TO court good luck

Fashion Notes

With the morning suits are worn
collar and cuff sets OF different colored
CaEhrics embroidered in white. pretty
set has plain cambria bands edged with
very fine plating OF cambria. powdered
with pinhead dots. With these sets are
worn narrow cravats Of black tafteta.
Much attention Is being paid to the
details OF dress. Every elegante carries.
for instance. a jeweled gold bag. while
her umbrella handle and hatpins are
equally valuable.
Linen shoes I'm C0lOTs matching the
gown are all the rage. The colored
leather is somewhat less popular. Stock
ings are Of harmonizi1g tint.
A fad Of the moment IS a belt about
three inches wide IN gray or pastel kid,
embroidered or manipulated with roses.
lilacs or. psnsies. Other belts are Of
narrow striped white and colored enam-
eled leather, with high buckle to match.
The elastic belt. initiating pompadour
ribbon. is a novelty. The pink ones
with flowers in dull pastel tints are par
ticularly lovely especially when worn
with a gold buckle.
The reigning colors Of the moment are
gray and green, the latter especially in
dark emerald. lettuce and spinach
shades

Facial Expression

The girl who has learned the art OF
controlling her features perfectly has.
without doubt, gained an advantage over
other members OF her sex. AS she
uses her features so she may be de-
scribed as beautiful or plain. interest
ing OF commonplace, refined or other
wise
a perfectly placid countenance rarely
frightened by expression is too apt 20
denote insipidity. On the other hand.
there are women who seem TO glory in
the extremes OF expression. Between
these two there is a happy medium that
should be cultivated.
One common error into which girls
fall is that OF opening the mouth wide
and raising the brows-which. by the
way, causes the forehead 20 wrinkle IN
= manner that in time scores perma-
nent furrows-in order to express pleas
ure. Far more attractive is the woman
who smiles with a slight parting OF
the lips, at the same time raising the
brows ever so little. says Woman's
Life
To knit the brows IN marked disap-
prevail is extremely unbecoming. for ex-
prsssions Of anger and scorn do not
sit well on a woman's countenance. Dis
dain and contempt. when expressed at
all. may be signiied in a minor degree
BY allowing every feature OF the face
10 relax, the eyes and eyelids will ex-
press tie rest
Sidelong glances OF the eye should
be practiced with due reserve and eau
ton. 4 Woman's eyes are her chief
weapon and we'll she knows their DOW
er, but she should by no means overdo
their expression or she will accomplish
little Of her purpose, and make herself
look ridiculous
