For boys and girls of an older growth
that difficult age of teens" for which it
is SO hard to choose acceptable gifts
there are attractive and practical metal
ography sets. with which all sorts of
useful and dainty things may be made.
The old method of brasswork was to
purchase the sheets OF brass, stencil upon
them the pattern desired, and then when
the punching and piercing had been COM
pleted. assemble the sections as best one
might-which was often a most clumsy
performance. The new sets for home
workers furnish each article ready shaped
and supplied with little brass projections
and corresponding Sits so that the pieces
may be accurately and easily put to-
gether.
The ready-to-make gifts of brass include
inkstands, matchsafes, jardinieres. fern
dishes. jewel boxes. photograph frames,
desk pieces, trays of all sorts and va
riety of other articles. all more or less
useful as we'll as very ornamental. The
work is light and pleasant. requiring
mainly patience and concentration. and as
it encourages care and accuracy also it is
a most sensible occupation to provide for
a child old enough TO appreciate such
work.
Santa Claus has been busy in the book
department Also for dozens Of interesting
tales and delightful picture books are
ready for young folks from babyhood to
high school years. Small bookcases also
are to be had for the boys and girls
rooms. and these with dozen books as
starter" make a very satisfactory gift
for the growing boy or girl.
For sheath foundations of evening gowns
the very newest idea is to use the bro
cades of gorgeous hue and design or the
heavy watered silks.

in little pyramids are quite effective Cor

was the vogue of velvet evening cos
tunes. Names to conjure with, which
were chronicled in the morning news
papers after the opera, were followed by
the Significant words: !" : in black
velvet with lace and pearls; "in emerald
velvet with gold embroidery; 'in mauve
velvet with orchids: ''in rose velvet with
point lace and diamonds" and so on.
Their New York. already on the qui yiye
because of the dozens of stunning velvet
and fur afternoon costumes which had
been worn during the previous week at
the horse show, awoke to the fact That
velvet was 'it'' SO far as fashionable
gowning was concerned.
The new velvets are limp as chiffon
and SO thin that they are really not cum
bersome or uncomfortable warm even as
evening gowns. An exquisite dinner frock
being built for Christmas day dinner
of formal character is of gray blue
panne velvet. over which is hung a tunic
of darker blue chiffon embroidered with
bright and furnished silver threads.
There Is girdle of the panne velvet held
by dull silver clasp and the deeply V'd
corsage is filled in with silver gauze over
blue.
Black velvet dinner frocks made with
utmost simplicity and worn with broad
white lace collars and cuas are the ultra
smart fad OF the winter. s1Frocks of this
sort, accompanied by big black picture
hats, are seen in the restaurants. and over
them are worn sumptuous fur coats or
long velvet coats bordered with fur. For
the home dinner nothing could be smarter
than a richly simple black velvet gown
with cuffs and collar of Venise. Flemish
or Irish lace. provided one is not the
happy possessor of a real duchesse or
point set The cuffs are turned up on the
three-auarter sleeves and the collar opens
in deep V at the throat. Such gown
would not be as uncomfortably warm as
conventional high-necked afternoon
costume made of the velvet.
Black evening frocks are craze just
now and very stunning black jetted
dinner gown is illustrated. A tunic sprin-
killed. with jet beds falls below a cuirass
bodice formed of jet bands and the
same bands are used to weight the foot
of the tunic. With these black gowns a
vivid rose is worn, tucked in the corsage,
to give color and character. One of the
most attractive young women at the
horse show wore at an evening session q

For the woman who disapproves of the
formality OF velvet for an informa !
Christmas dinner, an ideal little frock Of
chiffon is illustrated. This frock halls
directly from Paris and shows the uil-
mistakable French touch in its combi-
nation Of chiffon heavy metallic lace
and fur, the use OF these three fabrics
being representative of the Russian fad
now prevailing in Paris. This frock
shows a petticoat of pink satin, over
which falls tune of gray chiffon thick
ly pleated into the belt and caught lower
down under a band of silver lace. The
tunic is bordered at its lower edge with
Sealskin and an insertion of rose-colored
velvet set into the silver lace makes the
tunic unusually rich in effect. The bod
ice of gray chiffon over pink is bloused
above a high ceinture of the metallic lace
and sealskin. Only French genius could
manipulate such a material as sealskin
around the waist line without bulkiness.
but the whole effect of this little dinner
frock is graceful. youthful and light.
for all its elegance of material.
For the midday dinner famil!e IS
shown a high-necked costume of lchen
green silk cashmere with clIirass bodice
of Russian embroidery I'm gray-green and
rose tones. The sleeved guimpe of black
chiffon is laid oyr an under suimpe OF
silver gauZe, embroidered about the
throat with black, green and rose. If de-
sired. the silver net guimpe could he re-
placed by a collarless one of creamy

The satin evening scarfS bordered with
fluffy marabou have proved SO becomin ::
that now all the girls are making, or are
having made marabou trimmed bonnetS
for motor wear, and these bonnets, with
their frills of soft lace within the mara
bou rim, are distractngly becoming. The
bonnet illustrated is of she'll pink satin
and has a quaint little cape over the
shoulders. Bonnet and cape are lined
with Shirred pink chiffon and within the
brim of the bonnet are Sewed rows and
rows of narrow cream val edging. There
is round bolster muff Of the satin and
marabou to match. with a soft shiFref
chiffon lining, and the Christmas girl
will be very apt to tuck a sprig of holly
or more Observation-Disclosures into the
brim of her fascinating bonnet.
