Wells and Gloves

The nouveaute of the moment in little
things is the French version of the square
spotted veil. The square spot is now
less bold and heavy. finer and filmier
looking and connected by web of fine
thread. The whole effect is softer and
very becoming, and more so, perhaps, to
some faces than the thicker stronger
type of yelling. In order to negotiate
successfully first the big hat and to an
other move the gathering of the lower
edge of the veil close in around the throat,
it is now pinned to join at the back of the
neck. The idea of the move is that the
little frill On the neekband is thus kept
prettly in place and undoubtedly the
whim looks very soft and pretty and
pleasing.
Another little thing to be noted is the
return of the short glove. The mondaine
is so enamored of her clinging sleeves of
net or chiffon (most of these frocks or
cloth being sleeveless) that she does not
want the interrupted fllminess from the
shoulder to the wrist disturbed by the
long glove, so the glove of four, or even
two, buttons is again being worn by even
the most elegant. 1t is worth noting
that the long sleeves in net or chiffon
characteristics of frocks of cloth or satin
or velvet are very usually lined with white
chiffon; a frock of embroidered black
velvet, for example, had the sleeves of
spotted black net, white chiffon lined,
and this seemed to lead up to the little
white kid glove.

Times Change

A change has passed over US of late
years with regard to the manners of
daily life. The girl of early Victorian
days was ceremonious little creature.
She called parents sir" and madam"
and would never have dreamed of start
ing a conversation at table. and scarce
~ of joining in it. She came in to dessert
and was given her glass of wine on con-
dition that she made her grave little bow
to each of the company in turn, an OBJ
ject lesson in precedence which was pos
sibly useful to her in later years, but
must have been unspeakably trying at the
time. One would not wish to see the
ceremoniousness of those times revived,
but it is possible that we are inclined
to err in the opposite direction, by for
getting that respect is due to our re-
lations as much as it is to our friends.

Southern Woman Compli-

Recently in New York Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, the charming wife of Prince
toms president, was the guest of honor
when 300 or more sons and daughters
of the LAND of the long leaf pine" COM
prising the members of the Georgia So

to celebrate the societys annual recep-

that 1.-The flower of southern society re-
siding in Gotham attended to do honor
to Mrs. Wilson who is the most dis
tlnguished woman the south has ever
sent north" As a writer and as a scholar
Mrs. Wilson has no superior and the
pretty compliment was well deserved and
worthily bestowed.

Accordion Plating

It is a matter for rejoicing that the
accordion-plaited ruffle is not so popular
as it once was. Silk which is plated this
way will, at best, last but short time.
The side plating is not subjected to such
great heat in the making. and so the
fabric of the material is not so apt to be
injured.

December

This month can always be distinguished
by the Christmas suggestions advertised
in the newspapers and written about in
the magazines and by its snow which
usually falls in February and March.
December was once the tenth month,
so-called, perhaps, because it's ten to
one we'll have less money at the end
of the year than We had at the be-
ginning.
In December husbands generally pre-
sent their wives with fur coats. while
the wives present them with lace curtains
or some other article equally as useless.

Opossum is a favorite lining for the

coats are made double breasted SO as to
afford additional protection across the

The Saner Sex

1t is a pleasing thought, observes a
comings are in other respects, we are
as a sex infinitely more sane than men,.
1t is a well established fact that more
men lose their reason than women and
this would appear to result from lack
of self-control.
A reason one might venture to sug-
gest is that woman is less idealistic then
man, is closer in touch with nature and
less concerned with abstract things. She
comprehends the great scheme as the
animals comprehend and If she is let
alone she will fulfill her destiny without
fuss and without mental upheavals.
