finished cloth in one of the attractive
reds now so fashionable. The costume
consists of a very simple gown hitting
the figure like a princess but having a
tucked yoke fairly deep in front and very
deep at the sides. over which is worn the
graceful sleeveless jacket The sleeves
of the gown are long and close fitting
and tucked horizontally. They are of the

are also the tucked side pieces of the

danger of it being too popular, for the

Fashion Details Every Woman Should Know

SUALLY the Eame princess as ap"
piled to a gown carries with it the
idea of a severely plain garment
without fold or pleat from neck to
hem, but the new fashions pay no atten-
ton to the limitations of classic costum-
ing. Instead they seem to be engaged in
violating every law which heretofore OBJ
tained in women's garments. In figure l
the costume shown has certainly the gen
eral effect of a princess gown, and yet it
is pleated in a number of places, so much
so, in fact, very small portion of the
surface is plain. Some suggestion of that
mongrel garment known as the costume
of the ''moyen age" is in it. The
model is most becoming to a slender per-

Awards for the Humble Helpful.

From the New York World.
A few days before this years distri-
button of the Nobel prizes for great
contributions to science, letters and
peace the awards took place in Paris
of the prizes founded so years ago
by M. de Montyon for doors of good
deeds in private life. There were more
than 100 recipients of these tokens.
AS required under the will, the speech
announcing the names was made by a
member of the French academy, and
this speaker gave details of a few
cases.
One prize went to Paris sewing
girl who since she was II years of age
has supported her blind mother and
helpless brother, eking out by the car
rying of newspapers at dawn the small
wages earned by long day in the
workshop. Another winner was a
seamstress who, employing ten humble
assistants, nurses her workers in ILL
ness, helps them over times of dull
trade and has been generous to the
poor far beyond what she could af-
ford. A third prize was given to q
woman now nearly 20 years Of age
wha has served one farm family 60
years, bringing up three motherless
children, and receiving even now for
her long faithfulness only about $12
year.
Paris paid little attention to the
awards from the de Montyon fund. The
prize winners have not had their
names wired to the world at large.
They are among the everyday heroes
and heroines of less noisy praise
Yet the most modest contributions OF
courage and helpfulness must stand
high on the books when the accounts
of lifetime are rendered. M. de Mont
yon's prize idea has happy thought,
drawing out yearly inspiring stories OF
human devotion.
