Shirt Waist With Lace Yoke.

This design may be used with or without
yoke, by cutting off the insertion at top
before transferring. 1t is most effective IL
used as ii stands, and insertion should be
continued to the seams. French knots on
goods separate the rows of lace. The pet
ais of the daisies may be outlined and
filled in with French knots, with solid
centers; or the petals solid, with French
knot centers. Leaves may be long and
short stitch.
Everything shown on the miniature cut
will appear on the large sheet.
When you have sent to this office ~
cents and have received the full size
working pattern noted above. follow these
directions:
Lay material on which transfer is to be
made on hard smooth surface. Sponge
material uniformly with damp CLOTH Ma
terial should be damp, not too wet. Lay
pattern face down on material. and press
firmly. rubbing from you with crumpled
handkerchief in hand.
Transfer will be sufficiently plain very
soon as you will notice il you raise the
paper by one corner occasionally.

Skating Gloves,

There is a fad just now for skating
gloves because they are long and cover
the wrists. giving a warmth that is APP
preciatsd On cold days Even when the
weather is not severe. this style is de.
sirable for the protection it affords the
skin. These gloves are usually worn over
a pair of finer kid when women are shop
ping or making calls, and being of knitted
wool they slip off and on quite easily
The gauntlet gloves in buckskin and
other feathers have been the popular style
for boys and men this season, so that this
line of stock has become very much re-
duced and only odds and ends of each
kind are to be secured in many of the
stores.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, February 81, 1908
= HAVE often mentioned Columbine's
as happy hunting ground for those
who like to study at their ease the
fashions of tomorrow. This particu-
lar tearoom has always been ia
vorite with smart Parisiennes. 1t is a
shabby place on the Rue Cambon and
one of the oldest tearooms in Paris, but
before its doors from to O'Clock stands
long line of carriages and motor cars
awaiting the departure of throngs of
women who have entered. This place was
once a pastry shop where Frenchwomen
of high degree used to stop during an
afternoons drive for bit of refreshment
The original cake counter is still in ex-
istence at Columbine's, loaded with all the
old-time goodies. In the olden days after
securing a table it was the custom to re-
turn to the counter and, when plate and
fork We're selected. to help ones self to
the dainties. In paying ones bill the num-
Der of cakes consumed was left to ones
honesty. Now things are conducted in
more formal fashion. Just now all the
fashionable tearonms are thronged so
many people are moving about-going
Paris coming in between as a matter of
course, or they are visiting friends before
going south.
/ was having tea at Columbine's yester-
day afternoon. and as the weather was
unusually mild many of the women were
wearing spring gowns of exquisite fresh
ness and of the newest design. These
mondaines had probably been tempted
fore creating sensation in the costumes
on the Riviera.
Tailor Mades Neat and Picturesque.
On taking notes of the costumes ! was
impressed with the charming possibilities
of the tailor made of the immediate fu-
ture- How eXquisitely neat il viii be- and
yet how picturesque, Most of the gowns
were IN pastel shades of cloth. and the
coats were marvels of elaborate simple
ity not as long as the ones we are wear
ing. but still sem-fitting and for the most
part made with rounded fronts The coats
showed widely differing sleeves but those
that made the most pleasing effect were
long, quite tight and absolutely fiat ON the
shoulders. There is something exceed
ingly attractive about these curiously
tight, plain sleeves, with their pointed
cuffs that fall right over the wrists. a
coat of this style was worn by Aus
TRAN countess who is famous for her
frocks The material of the costume was
pale gray chiffon cloth. and the coat was
very simply cut with rounded fronts no
collar and some lovely silk passementerie
ornaments finished off with large tassels
on the side seams. This coat was lined
. with pale biscuit satin. and ii opened over
waistcoat of lemon yellow suede which
boasted buttons of baroque pearls set in
dull silver rims.
The skirt. made of the same cloth as
the coat was of the new shape, which
has Il seam right down the center of the
front and small p,aits running on either
side from this seam toward the front,
where the skirt is fastened at the back.

Corselet Skirt.

The skirts brought well above the waist
line remind one a good deal of the corse-
let skirt that was done to death two or
three years ago.
It must be noted. however. that the
new models do not show the seams Of
the old style corselet skirt above the
waist line and defining it, but the ma
terial falls perfectly straight without
curve to below the line of the hips.
This is a model that amateurs should
hesitate to attempt. and women not quite
sure Of their carriage should never by
any chance adopt It.

Materials With Borders Used.

One sees the bordered goods everywhe re.
In choosing them. the average woman
will find those more becoming that show
a figured or dotted surface rather than
the stripes on a background of a solid
color.
The stripes are usually SO broad and
the coloring so vivid that only a perfect
beauty. both in form and coloring would
carry a gown of such strong contrasts
successfully.

Fancy Shoes In Favor.

1t is hard to tell how much the average
society woman spends for her shoes, but
she will have to pay q good deal more
than usual II she INDUCES in all tho ex-
travagances that have been designed for
the seasons fashionable footwear. One
shoemaker says he has just had an order
for white satin wedding shoes to be COW

seed pearls. Pointed and blocked toes are
fashionable and the sQuare-toed boot IL
quite out OF favor. Many women In
Paris now have their underskirts frilled
and wired out around the hens to show
their footwear.

Pretty Dress Trimming.

Simple decorative needlework is a fea-
ture of the small girls school frocks this
season. and charming effects can be de-
veloped from pink or blue chambray. A
full skirt is trimmed above the hem with
French knots worked in wheel design, out
lined with briar stitching. using white
chochet cotton. and the band connecting
the baby waist and gathered skirt is SIM
ilarly decorated.
The top of the waist is a band cut in
round Dutch neck also trimmed with
stitches, and the short puff sleeves are
combined with bands to match.

often plentfully embroidered. In the
earlier Doric and Ionic periods the Greek
dress was dependent for its beauty upon
its graceful draping alone, but gradually
in the later classic times first decorative
borders appeared and still later embroi-
deries on the lower part of the cloak; at
least so say the vases. which were the
dress chroniclers of Greek history. The
fashion artists of those days painted the
modes of the moment on their pottery
and are more TO be relied on than the
sculptors for accuracy.

Fashion for Small Children.

1t is an attractive idea to gown a child
in white all the year around and at all
times of the day. but save for very small
tots this scheme is not practicable one.
In the nursery or kindergarten a child
should not be hampered in playing for
fear of soiling or mussing the dainty

pink or brown linen dress Is really best
during the morning The Russian blouses
are still worn by small girls and boys
alike. and this style of dress in a be-
coming color. relieved only by bands of
white linen or embroidery and a smart
little leather belt. is still a favorite model
Guimpe and suspender dresses are, how
ever. just as much in vogue, and as soon
as the girl graduates from the Russian
blouse or suspender a strap dress is thu
next step. guimpe dress is appro-
pirate for any age and is even fashion
able for the grownups. and of course.
this is a most sensible style of costume
for little girl, as by putting on a fresh
guimpe each day when the sleeves be-
come mussed or soiled the gown can be
kept booking clean and fresh far longer

have selvages that show fancy borders
varying in width according to require
ments. For instance, a dress length will!
be provided with a narrow border for the
sleeves and bodice and a wide one for the
hem of the skirt. In cottons and veilngs
these effects are particularly attractive.
When March is most upon US it is time
to think of ones spring hat, always the
first concession made to the tickle season
mistakenly called spring. In fact, the
time is much shortened nowadays for the
wearing of felt or heavy hats. Indeed
many women never put them on at all,
preferrlng to wear chapeauX of satin,
horsehafr and some of the many fancy
braids. This is certainly sensible fash
ion as we'll as very economical one, the

make their appearance are the flower

hats, these will be superseded later by
large and medium shapes.
The Fatal Thirteen.
Some weeks ago strong-minded Paris
ienne started the Thirteen Club, so named
because at the luncheons and dinners the
members organized among themselves on
the 18th of the month, and they always
sat down thirteen in number but when
that date conceded with Friday the day
was celebrated with special reiocings.
Moreover, the members pledged them
selves to make an active propaganda
among their friends and relatives with the
view Of crushing the superstition attached
to the fatal thirteen. One enthusiastic
recruit even suggested starting a weekly
paper in support of the movement, and
she brought out one number at her own
expense. 1t was shown to me at the
time, and am not SURPRISED that the pub-
LEGATION went no further. But now 1 hear
that the strong-minded president of the
club had a motor accident recently on
Friday, the 18th. and that when she
| reached home she found burglars had en-
tered her house. She at once resigned her
membership, and the Thirteen Club is
dead. CATHERINE TALBOT.

The New Figure.

The new figure-for the figure changes
season by seasons tall and rather slim,
and the dressmakers are doing their best
to make their patrons conform to this re-
quirement The feminine figure is straight
up and down. the shoulders are broad
hips. and the skirt is long and draggly.
This makes a woman very empire in her
getup. and for those who can wear 1t
there is nothing more striking. Dress
makers are padding the shoulders OF the
gowns to get the high. wide shouldered eff
