silk fringe. The weight of fringe
gives very graceful folds to gowns
of a soft material. In word. and
DIT can not be repeated too often, any
thing that gives the effect of thick
ness must be summed and all that
lengthens and makes slender must
be eagerly sought for.
One should take care to give a
certain fitness to the bottom of the
skirt, either by inserting pieces in
the seams or, better still, by allow
ing for it in the cut.
!. Avoid the extremes. This is one
of the true notes of elegance for the
winter, whether woman is ordering
costumes for forenoon, afternoon or
evening. Smart women are drawing
the line very rigidly against ex-
tremes, and the best houses to which
they give their patronage are equally
opposed to everything leading in that
direction. That some women OF
equal prominence do break through
this unwritten law proves nothing
more than that their taste is at fault.
One always meets that failing, what
ever the styles happen to be. It
springs from a desire to reach out
for further showiness, individually.

PEERLESS PROMOTERS.
Five peeresses recently have form
ed themselves into a circle and have
limited that any rich colonial, Ameri-
can or English man or woman who
desires to take up definite position
in London Society may do so by put
ting down the needful in the shape Of
a check which will be divided among
the FIVE. One Of these ladies is a
first favorite with the King, who is
her godfather. Her husband used to
be regarded as one of the .wealthiest
men in society, but in some mysteri-
GUS way his money has disappeared
and they have had to give up their
town house and live in quite a small
way. She is beautiful, ambitious, ac-
complished and has two budding
daughters who ought to be put upon
the matrimonial market in the prop
er way. Another of these ladies is
the wife of an Irish peer who, though
very clever and "a coming man." has
no money. His wife is beauty,
but he cannot allow her the money
she ought to have to dress on. II
she hopes to hold her place in so
ciety and attain for her lord the po-
litical position Of which he is worthy
she must be gowned perfectly and
she must also entertain. A third
member of the quintet is the wife OF
the Hampshire magnate who accept
ed $4,000 from well-known newspa-
per proprietor for permission to al
low reporter to reside in his house
during the visit of renowned SOW
ereign who must be nameless.
Those who know these ladies are
watching with the greatest interest
for the coming of the new million
aires who, if they are bachelors, may
expect the time of their lives That
the fees will be heavy for introduce
lions goes without saying. Some fix
the price at $4,000, others say it more
likely will run to 5,000.-London

Rose, who weighs in the neighbor-
hood OF IT'S pounds, was called to
the door today by man who gave
his name as Joseph Sell and who
rented a furnished room. A little

upstairs room with big bag in his
hand. She grabbed him and in a
minute he was fiat on his back with
one of Roses knees planted on his
chest.

putting away at a cigarette which
Rose had given him permission to
make and smoke while waiting for
the patrol to come. Rose still had
her knee on her prisoners chest and
in her right hand was poised a trusty
hatpin-Philadelphi Record.
