PARIS, December :, 1907.

under the canopy between puffs from her
favorite cigarette. Even conventional
American women now think this very
naughty practice fascinating, and a
charming girl i know recently deplored
the fact that the fad is altogether too
common to be deemed naughty. But If
the romance of smoking has faded there
is much sentiment attached to the cigar
cite outfit which. to be appreciated, must
be the da!ntiest thing in its line money
can procure. And, while 1 think of it.,
these same little outfits are the Christ

Qualities Men Appreciate in Women
- 1t is often urged against women OF
>the present generation that in smoking
and in going in for many kinds of mas
culine diversions they make themselves
too cheap. One cannot help occasionally
asking ones self what qualities are neces-
sary to make one a successful competitor
an the struggle for masculine popularity.
For one thing. there is always the diff
Guilty OF knowing what qualities men APP
preciate in women, those they say they
. like being the exact opposites of those
they really do appreciate. If they really
admire US for our virtues the hole ques-
ton would be exceedingly simple. In that
case IL would be quite easy to be good and
meek and all the things st. Paul en-
courages us to be. But, quite apart from
any question of morality, II Is in their
attitude toward the minor details OF a
:. swoman's character that most men be-
p come so bewilderingly contradictory. For
instance, when man tens you ne likes a
domestic woman he probably thinks he is
? speaking the truth. and IL he only says II

will come to believe him. AS a mat
ter of fact. as all women know who
Z have tried il. the domestic woman is the
failure she is simply and solely for the
reason that he cannot bear her.
= Another quality which men will tell
. you they admire in women Is common
sense Nothing bores them so much
when they find 1t. and certainly nothing
makes a woman more furious than to be
called sensible" Nobody, of course
knows better than man the value of q

Carry Flower Baskets.

Carrying flowers in baskets is the new
est fad for bridesmaids and the effect Is
most picturesque. The baskets are small
and rather narrow and the handles are
about two feet long. This brings the
posies only a little above a girls knees
when she puts her arm through the ham
die. Much green stun is used with the
flowers and some blossoms hang over the
edges as if ready to fall out.

against such tendencies. that persons of
good taste are now working.
To be practical. here are few hints
for attractive dresses that one can make
at home or have turned out at the small
dressmaker's. I have gathered them. so
to speak. among the flowers of aristo-

Frosted Lace.

Laces are exceptionally elaborate this
season, and show all kinds of combina-
tons. One l saw had background of filet
net appliqued with motifs of lace in both
cluny and baby Irish. Tiny sprays of
ribbon flowers were wrought out between
the motif and silver thread defined the
pattern on the face. 1t was exquisite, and
the only thing that could think of when
1 saw it was cobweb gllstening with
frost The price was beyond any average
purse, but the same idea could be worked
out at home at small cost.

For a Mans Xmas Gift.

The choice of gift for a man is rather
a difficult matter, SO the new sets of studs
are a suggestion. They come in a neat
case, are of gold or platinum, set with
semi-precious stones such as coral. jade.

The latest novelty, however, is the

tiny diamond. These are 80 mounted

Feather Hat Trimmings.

What looked at first glance to be an
enormous gray Tyre bird turned out to be
only the front adornment of a large
smoke gray felt hat, and another deco
ration on q second hat was composed
of two whole pheasants, comfortably
seated side by side. heads to the front
and the tail feathers falling down the
back.
The finishing touch was the VEIL That
designed for the gray hat was of gray
ring dotted net edged with gray lace
frill, while the accompaniment of the
pheasant hat was u chiffon in a mahog-
any shade dotted with brown velvet
disks and a velvet border.

one can wear an all-white hat. White in
winter looks cold and forbidding. But
