All the new hats contribute youth

scribed last week.
The Three-Piece Suit.
The three-piece afternoon suit counts
in making the girl or woman who owns
a really smart one ready to appear fifty
gowned at almost any function. For the
young girl not yet through school the
range Of suitable styles is quite limited.
For her this suit should consist of a coat
and skirt Of cloth. velveteen or corduroy
in a plain, becoming color. If velveteen
or the corded velvet is selected skirt of
semicircular style or plated in groups is
preferable to other models.
The coat may be tailored with the
rounded corners that are the reigning
style or one Of the newer kimono models.
Immature figures frequently look better
In the fuller, more blouselike models, while
the tailor-made type of girl looks her best
in the severe lines of the strictly tailored
cut and finished costume. If the color
is becoming and the suit is made upon
proper lines, even the plainest style will
be becoming this season, especially when
the atlantic. copenhagen and other bright
light blues and the rose and coral shades
are so much worn by the younger set
Velveteen and corduroys wear excellent
ly, and are particularly pretty in browns
sapphire blues. dark greens or reds. The
very fine cords are reckoned smartest
this year, and either of these velvetS will
be suitable for school use another sea-
son.
Jabot Worn Outside Coat.
The girl who puts on gay little wrin-
kles of fashion is now adopting the
Partisan fancy of wearing the jabot
outside the coat. The coat is buttoned
with its pretty fancy buttons, and the
lace jabot is fastened to the neck in
such a way that it hangs outside the
coat so as to trim it with lace, SO to
speak. 1t is smart and quite Napoleonic
in its effect and it goes well with the
military picture hats of winter, with their
wide brims and military feathers.
Topaz Shoe Buckles Thought Lucky.
Shoe buckles of topazes are considered
by many superstitious women to be the
luckiest of adornment, even though dia-
mond buckles are the more coveted. The
topaz buckles are a new fad in Paris.
Another novelty is buckle that repre-
sents a spray of shamrock done in French
paste. The stem is curled around to
form a circular buckle, and trefoil oc-
cupies the center. At debutante dance

Wedding Anniversaries.

Opinions differ about the first wedding
anniversary, some authorities claiming it
to be cotton and others paper. The weight
of opinion. however. is paper for the first
year. cotton for the second and leather
for the third. At the end Of the first
five years comes the wooden wedding.
The seventh is wooden, the tenth tin,
the twelfth silk and the fine linen, ff-
teenth crystal, twentieth china. twenty
fifth silver thirtieth pearl. the fortieth
the ruby. the fiftieth the golden and the
seventy-fifth the diamond. Sometimes the
diamond wedding is celebrated after sixty
years of married life.

dresser than the blouse for formal wear,
and their use will be continued through
out the coming season.
When to match the suit the waist is of
dark sheer fabric it is nearly always
made up over cream white taffeta or
satin to tighten it a little and depends
upon its cloth straps or heavy braid and
lace Trimming to make it correspond with
its skirt.
An Economical Hat.
The fur hat is an economy for the girl
who has pieces of fur not now in use. for
any quantity can be brought into play
enough for the entire hat. enough for the
crown-while velvet or felt is used for the
brim or enough for the brim. while vel
vet makes up a soft. wide. ample crown.
Then fur is also used profusely by the
milliner as a mere garnishment in a wide
band around the crown or ,dge or in
tiny borders for lace or velvet bows.

flowers. The broadness OF these net bands
necessitates their being carefully wired.
cept large chou of soft ribbon carrying
out the coloring used in the embroider-
les. This knot Is caught in the center
with large ornament set with uncut
stones. There is a marked tendency to
overweight the new hats in front. just as
last season we almost dragged them off
our heads with streamers and punches of
cabbage-lke roses arranged at the back
of the chapeau. This scheme of trim
ming Is particularly bad for the short
woman, who, if she is wise in her day
and generation, will have the courage to
forego the --latest millinery effect and
affect an adornment more conservative.
One very pretty tan hat seen recently with
a smokestack crown had a huge bunch
of chestnut brown feathers placed eX-
actly IN the center of the front that was
held in place with little square Of satin

and these slashes will in some instances
have buttonholes worked in on one side
real buttonholes-and on the other a row
of buttons. Short slashes will be out
lined with lengthwise strips of braid.
Among the new coat models is the
cutaway having pointed sides and a
pointed back. Others have the sharp
points at the back and the front, but none
at the sides.
Coquettish Mourning.
Mourning nowadays is no longer de-
mure unless the demure pose be the most
becoming to the wearer. There is notn
ing which more deserves the word dash
ing in all the world of feminine attire
than the fashionable mourning of the
moment Nor is it only that adjective
which is due this stunning new style
mourning 1t is also coquettish to the
last degree, although always, to bel re-
membered decorum is duly considered.
One does not fly in the face of conven-
tionalities. One merely gets around them.
1t is a perfectly permissible feminine SUBJ
terfuge.
For instance, as an example of CO.
quetry in mourning accessories. witness
the arrangement of wells which is not only
permitted but authorized by fashion to-
day. Could anything be more coquettish.
more becoming and at the same time
more cleverly devised to escape the Gen.
sure of the type critical?
Fashions for Indoor Wear.
Pongee and rajah silks, like wolfe, have
come to be all the year round fabrics, and
it is surprising to see how many pretty
house dresses are evolved from these So
called hot weather fabrics.

throws the occupants, the carriage and
himself into the ditch. The horse can
not see in front of him, only to the
right or left.
A California. man thinks the safest
plan is to let him see nothing at all. He
suggests inclosing the eyes in the novel
bride blind shown herewith, which
he recently patented. A pair OF blinds
are attached to the bride. Normally
these blinds remain open. When the
driver sees an approaching automobile
be pulls on a strap which extends to
the drivers seat, and the blinds are
folded over the horses eyes, complete
~ obscuring his vision. The danger of
the horse becoming frightened and run
ming away is thus reduced to a mini
mum and the occupants assured of
safety.

turned into the side path that LED
along the hill, under the gray, snake
like fume-the shortest route to the
grassy shelf on which the cabin stood.
The byway was steep and rugged,
and rhododendron clumps caught at
her ankles, and once she heard snake
slip over the dry rustic of leaves, but
she went on rapidly, dragging at the
bride, turning back now and then
anxiously to urge the horse to greater
speed. She scarcely heard the often
slvely honeyed compliments which
Prendergast offered to her courage.
It seemed an eternity they climbed.
In reality it was scarcely twenty min
utes before they reached the grassy
knoll and the cabin, whose crazy
swinging door stood wide to the night
air. She tied the horse, went in and
at Prendergast's direction found
matches and lit a candle. The bare,
two room interior it revealed was I'M

a table and a couple of hewn chairs
were almost its only furniture. The
window wa broken and the roof adj

She gave her horse the rein as she

path that climbed back of the cabin,
past the Knob, and so by a narrow
trail to the mountain road.
