Fashionable Gloves

INSTEAD Of wearing pure white
gloves In the afternoon. the fash
ionable woman Is inclining toward
delicate pearl shade or pale apricot and
tan colorings.
She is choosing for motor wear the
''chevrette'' Of elbow length, with
strap at the wrist to pull the leather to-
gether. This is generally lined with fur
or wool
Women find 1t hard to approve OF the
sharp dividing line between long sleeves
and short gloves. and are wearing with
afternoon toilettes longer shapes, which
pass in wrinkled fulness over the cuffs.
Gloves Of two-button length are worn
with coat suits. The buttons are very
large and are made Of mother-of-pearl.
For driving mocha gloves in pale col
orings. which, strange to say. wear
much better than the dark ones. are
popular.
OF course. the evening gloves are vir-
tually the same. Long white glace,
with occasionally a decoration to carry
out the scheme Of the gown. are worn.
BY their gloves you will know the
well-dressed women.

a gift will work out into a most ac-
ceptable little present If careful bast-
ing be first insisted upon.
White and sheer materials are not
the only ones employed for the useful
apron. Paris is consistent in its
clothes and offers elaboration for the
idle elegante and simplicity for the
worker. Dark linens make such at
tractive models as that of the young
girl with buster in hand. A medium

Iridescent SCarfs

TINE new evening scarf is more
often than not designed to pro-
duce an iridescent effect. Two
shades Of material are combined with
an intermediate layer Of chiffon,
which gives an attractive glistening
effect Frequently a narrow border Of

With the black evening costumes SO
popular just now these scarfs look
extremely we'll. The favorite royal
blue and black combination is Just
colorful enough to give contrast to
the somber elegance of black.
A more vivid touch is supplied by
cherry-colored chiffon between two
layers OF black edged with. fringe
OF pink topazes.
Any color scheme may be worked
out in this idea for evening scarfs.

Protect the Coat Collar

the neck Of the coat, and never
were they more necessary than today.
The cloth coat cannot be allowed to rub
against the delicate lace and net of the
modern yoke; no more is it advisable
to allow the harsh gilt thread OF the
metallic laces to wear away the broad
cloth Of the coat collar.
A. bias Of silk Is folded together and
slipstitched: its ends are drawn to a
point and finished with ball or tassel.
This is basted along the inside of the
coat collar as far as the shoulder seam,
so that 1t may be always in place at the
back. and may be crossed In front at
the discretion of the wearer.
Its ends hang to the waist line, and
when the coat Is opened fall gracefully,
contributing to a decorative scheme II

view. Some OF the French brocades
may b thus utilized.

Children's Furs

HASHION is leading its votaries to-
ward fascinating furs for little
children.
The tiny tots in their white furs look
like animated snowballs. Some of the
hats. which usually are sold with the
coats. are pulled over the head, with
only peep at the merry eyes to con-
vince the outsider OF the fact that q
little boy or girl is enjoying the coy
warmth.
Naturally. our eyes turn toward the
most expensive coats Ermine is elegant
and yet babyish for his royal highness
Coats are made of tailless ermine. with
muffs and hats to match. On these
smaller pieces of the three-part set are
the tails. Gray goat is enjoying a new
popularity in France for tiny motor
coats. It's color and warmth are reli-
able. and French mothers are wisely
pointing a way which others will do
well to follow.

A New Cabochon

IT IS of stin feathers arranged in
pinwheel fashion. Rows and rows
of these little quilts are arranged in
concentric circles. and the cabochon Is
sufficiently ornamental to allow the
wearer to forego other trimming.
A clever woman can make one Of these
new rosettes at home. From an old
millinery box countless unused feathers
may be rescued from oblivion. These
may be fastened on a circular founda-
ton. beginning at the outer circle. In
the center a jeweled button will look
well. And there you are. with snTne-
your winter hat.

Quick Ship Loading Feat.

A new record has been made this year
in loading big steamers on the upper
lakes with ore. The steamer Corey,
belonging to the United States Steel Cor
poration. was loaded with 10.1ll gross
tons OF iron ore from the Eermllion
range in thirty-njne minutes. This was
done at one Of the docks at Two Har-
bors. a port on Lake Superior. just east
of Duluth.
The ore is brought from the mines in
steel cars and automatically dumped into
great compartments in a concrete dock
When vessel is brought up TO the side
of the dock the chutes from the com
partments fit the matches in its deck
and there are usually from twenty to
thirty of them. The entire hold Of
the steamer is given up TO ore.
When the signal 10 given, the traps
that retain the ore i'm the compartments
are lifted, and a stream Of ore, four
feet square. is carried through the chutes
by its own weight until the hold Of
the vessel is filled or tn ecopa rtnerts
are empted. This process is so simple
that one or two men can load vessel
with ten thousand tons of ore simply
by pressing a button or turning p crank
The cost OF handling is thus reduced to
minimum.
