Parisians may only meet at stated sea-

friends or acquaintance before being
repeatedly invited to do so, and even
then the call must be made on the

not drop in unexpectedly to spend a

friend without ceremony or warn

endless trouble to make the reception

functions do not take place in the av-

ARTS, Oct. 24.-The extrava-
gance of womenl How men
love to make this purely
feminine trait. But women
through all ages have had to bear. the
opprobrium of being stamped. extrava-
CANT creatures, and this winter, if they
pretend to keep up with the dress
movement, they are bound to deserve
the epithet. But in no way are they
more extrayagant than in their good
looks. There, messieurs, are you not
disappointed? Women waste their vi
tally and consequently their good
looks to a depIorable degree, and this,
in my opinion, is the only direction in
which they are not justified in being
extravagant. 1t is a common thought
that illness brings a score of worries
into woman's life, but it happens
more often that worries bring a score
of illnesses.
Women worry and brood over little
things that are really entitled to no
more than an instant's reelection, and
if there is any doubt as to the truth of
this study any crowd of faces and see
how many have a habitual expression
of peace or even contentedness. Guilt
waiting a good expression of face is
legitimate occupation for women, and
so subtle is the connection between
mind and body that an effort honestly
exerted to improve the expression will
have a salutary effect upon the char
aCter itself. The lines of expression
are an infallible index of the character,
but lines of advancing age must not be
confused with lines of character. A
woman's mirror should be the only
friend from whom she can bear the
truth without wincing. Let her con-
suit it every day, not for the purpose
of being battered, but to learn what
faults may be corrected. Many of us
fall into habits of expression which no
friend would dare to mention for fear
of hurting our feelings. People of nerv-
GUS temperament easily take up these
habits, such as screwing up the lips
when sewing, reading or thinking.
Slowly, but surely each time you wear
a worried look natures artist graves
one degree deeper the lines which the
unpleasant expression has made. Moth
ing is more nobly expressive than the
clear well formed brow. 1t should not
wrinkle until late in life, perhaps
never, if properly cared for. Yet it is
so impressionabIe that it is the first to
adopt an unnatural expression. The
most frequent way that brows go
astray is to assume the surprised look.
The wise girl will therefore enter upon
a preventive course of treatment that
will actually stay the results of the
hand of time for many years and in
the long run reduce to minimum it's
unfriendly influence. There are lots of
means by which old Time may be
cheated at his own game, but should

although every one recognizes every

turn. Many are, indeed, quite settled

the face in some fashion. The old style
of separate waist left much to be de-
sired in artistic effect but when the
present ensemble comes into view it is
a real blow not only to ones sense of
color, but to ones sense of proportion.
The high wasted skirts worn with the
directoire waists have either a deep
sash as a finish or fiat, narrow folds;
but, whatever the ornamentation, the
same awkward alliance is maintained.
Tailored waists are worn with these

gives place this winter to the pierrot
ruff, and any bright girl can make one.
You take a band of fur three inches
wide and edge it top and bottom with
a knife plating of ribbon; then at one
end you fasten a huge rosette with
two irregularly shaped ends. Brown
satin ribbon is used with mink and sa-
bic, black with pointed fox and baby
lamb, while snow white combined with
ermine is perfectly stunning for even
ing wear.
The correct thing is to have a three
piece settle hat, the ruff and the
muff matching. Then you can wear
the combination with any costume.
Modish Footsear.
Cloth top boots are again to be in
vogue, but I don't recommend them
for women who have weak ankles or
for those who do not take good care
of their footgear. Nothing grows shah

The waist line is. of course, a minor
consideration in all the new gowns.
The hips are what count. You must
draw them in. No woman can make
the slightest pretention to style if she
has hips this season. She may have a
waist as large as she pIeases.

Small hats, praise be, are appearing
in all the smart millinery shops.

Have You Seen the New VeiI7
When it comes to putting a veil on
one of the enormous hats of the season
even the woman who generally knows
has to admit herself beaten, and if
rules according to Hoyle are followed
they prove ineffective. To wear veil
twisted into small knot under the
chin is one of the solecisms of the sea
son, so that stronghold is taken away,
and as women nowadays loathe the
floating effect this is anathema. So all
was uncertainty until a Viennese mil
liner cut the gordian knot by veil in
vention as pretty as it is convenient.
For this new style yelling of a very
wide and deep kind has to be used.
The required length depends upon the
size of the hat, for there are degrees
of dimension in the biggest hats that
are sadly realized when adjusting the
veil is in process. The top of the veil
is gathered to the edge of the hat.
while at the bottom it is shirred on
