Hats for Younn Girls.

The mushroom hat as first intro
duced has gone altogether out OF favor,
although IN its most modified form IL
will last throughout the winter, but
the tendency TO stiffen and fatten out
the brim is rapidly increasing. so that
a stir sailor shape. perhaps bent up
slightly on one side or even curved
up all around is really the safest style
OF hat in which to invest. AS a some
what fiat effect is now popular, with
the hat resting down close against the
hair, a bandeau can generally be dis
pensed with, so that the only trim
ming necessary consists In attaching
the stir bow TO the felt or velvet
shape.
Large lace bows are extremely pref
", and especially for an old black hat
Is this mode Of trimming effective. A
net hat bordered with satin or mauve
velvet requires no further trimming
beyond the large net or lace bow.
while for school, as felt or velvet are
more in keeping with the costume, the
bow may be Of ribbon, velvet. silk or
net or lace, black. white or the color
OF the gown and hat.

THE USEFUL SEWING TABLE.
Martha Washington Style Is One OF
the Prettiest.

Sewing tables. which come in every
shape and variety, are always useful
and pretty pieces of furniture. partic-
ulaTly in a fat or apartment. The
Martha Washington sewing table. that
happens to be the rage at present, is
one Of the prettiest in these designs.
and is very much copied in the modern
furniture. and the antique dealers ad-
vertise them extensively. but It is
doubtful whether the genuine speci-
mems can be found so readily, and II
found and properly authenticated they
are generally very expensive.
The empire sewing table. which has
the square shaft base and the plain
legs. and has two drop-leaf sides, is a
very god piece OF small furniture. as
besides the additional room across the
top, it has two deep drawers with
glass handles. The Chippendale sew
Ing tables. with the futed legs and the
three drawers. one with space for
spools and silks. are also much used,
and the clawfoot and empire designs
are endless I'm their variety and price.

FRILL OF RIseoN ON GOWNS.
Touch OF Pompadour Used TO Break
the Monotony.

To break the monotony of black lace
evening gowns a frill of pompadour
ribbon is being used, just under the
lace at the front.
This is a charming idea and one that
viii make black gowns appropriate as
costumes for young women.
One French gown of black chiffon Is
entirely lined with pompadour silk,
with black background and the roses
showing with elusive color through the
outer folds OF the chiffon, makes the
dress beautiful in the extreme.
The same idea may be carried out
for a young girl in white, using either
thin crepe, China silk or chiffon cloth
as In outer covering A wide belt of
ribbon to match the lining makes a
most girllsh dress.
No more useful garment could be in
cluded in a trousseau for debutsnte or
bride than a princess slip of pompa-
dour silk. IL is charming when worn
under lingerie gowns In summer or
under crepe and chiffon in winter.
PompadoUr is also beautiful when
lining an opera coat or cape. One OF
the newest evening capes Is OF pink
panne velvet lined with lowered silk
and bound all round by baud of vel
vet embroidered in pink and gold.

shapIno the eyebrows.

Consuelo, duchess OF Marlborough,
Is supposed 10 have a pair OF the
most perfect eyebrows in the world,
and they are frankly admitted 10 be
not natural. but cultivated. II is not
a difficult thing TO shape ones own
brows, and It would seem as though
q habit of this kind should be eagerly
acquired by most women. One OF the
best methods OF overcoming bushy
eyebrows is TO shape them between
dampened thumb and forehnger after
bathing the face or at any time when
IL is convenient In this way wonder
ful results may be obtained.

Marahou Feathers.

Because marabou droops but does
not absolutely wither when exposed
to dampness, its value as a hat trim
ming is greatly appreciated. and in
many instances II is being substituted
for ostrich tips. Or II is used to exc
out the more costly plumes so that an
elaborate hat OF the picture order may
be sufficiently fluffy in appearance.
Sometimes the marabou edging Is
combined with heavy lace bands as a
trimming for the lace-crowned hats.
thus giving them a more substantial
appearance when supplemented by
marabou-edged lace boas Of the same
color.
