FALL OF SNOW.

There are those who claim that
there was a snow fall in Wausau last
Thursday morning. 1t was cold
enough to snow and probably did, but
the hour was too early for many to
see it. Several from the town OF
Stettin have told the Pilot editor
that there was enough snow fell on
that morning in their vicinity to

Flower designs predominate. but such

chiffon to satin, and the stitching Is in
black or in dark, rich color to corre-

1t is only the darker dresses that are
so being treated. The summer girl and
the debutante are as yet exempt.
Sometimes large dots define the

extreme for American women, but
when these enormous black dots are
repeated on the white lace of the yoke
and down the tight sleeves the effect
Is stunning without being vulgar.

approach to fitted dressing sacque is

are themselves practically one long lace
edged ruffle. open to the shoulder and
falling to the bottom Of the negligee.
All are low -necked, with either a
square or a V-shaped opening. One
shows a sailor collar so wide as to be
practically a cape. Another has tiny
chemisette of frilled lace and lawn.
Much lace appears on all of them in
the shape OF insertion and edging. The
opening in front is always edged with
lace, usually on both sides, so as to
form a frill effect. In the negligee men
TONED as having a ribbon girdle, wide
vertical bands of lace insertion run all
around, with lace ruffles at the square
neck and the loosely cut bottom.
The long dressing gowns are more elab-
crate. They show also the large ribbon
rosettes which fasten and adorn the
short style, but here they become bows
and jabots. The lace is inset in panels.
the cut is tight fitting and the chemisette
becomes a pleated yoke. Nearly all show
a very long tunic effect. with an under
skirt of ruffied lace and lawn or silk just
ssbove the ankles. Sleeves are still short
and necks low and sometimes cut round
If there is a belt or girdle, it is Of lace,

gether; otherwise. don't hurt all the coli
ors by emphasizing none.
The same principle may easily be ex-
tended to household decoration. A room
which is a heterogeneous mass OF color
loses all dignity: and how it is improved
by subduing everything to one or Two
shades. I have in mind a living room
that used to look like a flower garden
without the unconscious blending of the
natural article The carpet was green
and red. the furniture quartered oak,
the woodwork walnut. and the wall
paper. to crown all, a hideOus pink
Finally. a revolution took place The
walls were covered halfway up with
brown vanished burlap, and the rest or
the way painted with green that grew
lighter, until in the ceiling it blended
into bronze: the furniture was given a
walnut stain (for the oak was only
veneer) to match the woodwork the
floor was similarly treated. and covered
part way with two green and brown
rugs-and that awful room blossomed
into beauty.
It happened to have plenty Of light
from the outside. but there is no reason
why a room naturally dark should not
be treated to the touch OF color also.
Try yellow walls. white woodwork and
curly maple furniture for your badly
lighted drawing room. and see what
delightful thing it can become. Whereas
a combination of four or five shades, all
fighting vigorously. would give you only
the hopeless desire to turn the key in
the door and never enter the room again
The whole secret lies in the ability to
make color worth while, whether IN
dress or in household accessories. by
giving it a fitting frame of neutral
tinted material And-the second part
OF the secret-sse that the frame Is

TF WOMEN would only realize how
effective a touch Of vivid color can
l. be. provided only that it be not over
worked!
The other day saw a woman dressed

Of her hatbrim. at about the middle or

also of narrow velvet Of Hibernian hue.
In perfectly plain white this woman
would have passed unnoticed; in more
green than she wore she would have
been conspicuous. But she understood
just the so much and no further that
makes for artistic success.
One girl OF my acquaintance dresses
always in neutral-tinted garments
blacks and grays and whites. But about
her there are always two sp1ashes Of
bright color-one her hat and the other
the beads at her throat. For instance,
she will wear a hat OF turquoise blue
and imitation turquoise beads; or OF
darker blue and blue Venetian glass
beads; or OF dull purple and amethyst
beads She makes all her own hats-and
odd and unusual ones they are-and the
beads can be purchased to match ex-
actly for from 10 cents upward. Often
she buys the loose beads so as to get a
good match, and then strings them her

should never wear more than two
shades at time, or that there are no
pretty and distinguished effects other
than this OF the single touch. But it
certainly is stunning, especially when it
shows itself IN unusual places. It is the
same principle as that on which a man
wears socks, tie and bordered handker-

and sad-colored suit; or that on which a
girl all in white or black pins a red rose

of the color draws attention to 1t and
makes it more attractive.

all sorts Ghough should not go so far

thing is to have strong contrast, and
yet not have it so bizarre as to seem
crude. In a recent play the heroine

SOME MOURNING HINTS

In white are worn. and certainly they
are much cooler in fact and appearance
than the black ones of the same mate
rial. Handkerehiefs should be black
edged if one is punctilious.
Black collar pins mounted in gold
(that does not show from the 'FRONT.' car
be procured nowadays. as well as gun
metal and jet-strung watch chains.
This IS practically the only jewelry the
woman in mourning needs to wear: only
her wedding and engagement rings are
usually permissible besides.
Leather bags. belts and accessories of
all sorts should be of the dull variety:
in fact. except for JET nothing with a
shine or gloss should he worn during
deep mourning.
Black and white, gray and dull pur-
pies are all allowed for second or half
mourning.
