twilled or corded weave Mar
quisette and other fine veilings are
much employed in conjunction with
satin, rich lace, and chiffon, this com
bination turning out the most fairy
like wedding frocks without great ex-
pense. One wedding dress shown by
a leading importer was of embroider-
ed batiste over satin. It was short,
with Dutch neck, and fairly incrust-
ed with needleWork 1t was to be
topped by a broad hat wTeathed with
white Grape morning glories and
snowy roses in the same airy texture
The materials used show endless
shades Of white, but pearl, snoW-WhIte
and a, delicate cream are the most sat
isfactory ones. A pretty arrange
ment for the veil is to put it on after
the manner of a straight gathered cur
tain, with the sides covering the
cheeks and the rest of the face IN
covered. The tulle or fine net used, is
left unhemmed and it is shirred to a
wire under a round wreath of orange
blossoms.
Our illustration suggests an attract
i've and girlish design for a cloth
frock braided with soutache that
would be needed for walking or. trav-
cling. Here one of the new cloths
with a rough finish is employed, the
color delicate tan, with the braiding
and other trimming black.
The skirt is plated with closely
fitting yoke, and the upper part is a
species of polonaise, with the neck
rounded out and kimono sleeves cut
with the side portions Of the bodice.
White net embroidered with black
dots is used for the guimpe and under
sleeves. Any wool of solid nature
would do for this frock, and machine
embroidery may be bought for the
trimming If the braiding seems diff
cult. The upper part of the dress
could also be made Of yelling and the
lower part of silk, and with this ar
rangement an embroidered guimpe and
undersleeves of white batiste would
be very pretty.
But in seeking for a rich effect re
member that black note in the
trimming will always give it, and for
that matter, a gown in almost any
color might be trimmed solidIy with
black and be in excellent style.

HATS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
MiIlionaire's Wife Pays, Without Cues
ton, Fabulous Prices for Arts
tic Headgear.

The millionaire wife pays anywhere
from $25 to $500 for hat, and she
buys half dozen hats or so every
season. The days are past when the
hat plays second fiddle, so to speak,
to the gown. The hat and the gown
are of equal Importance now.
How is it possible to put such a
price on hat?" The question has
been asked a thousand times by aston
ished husbands who pay the bills, and
even by the women themselves who
buy
Well, in the first place, the
plain hat itself is imported from Paris,
and costs the l1illiner from $40 to
$25, as against 50 to $40 only ten
years ago. This hat, though 1t fol
lows the prevailing fashion, and
though this fashion may be ridicu-
lous in the extreme, is nevertheless,
artistic in lines and general form.
Perhaps it is desired that the hat
should be green. The artist mil
liner has in her employ a French
man whose business it is to color
hats to any shade or tint that may
be wished He brings his dyes from
Paris the pale. soft colors he uses
are to be had only in that city-and
has himself received his training
there. No American can do this
work
The trimmings and materials for
this hat are, of course, imported

on the green ground it is decided that
pink and blue roses will harmonic

outfit 1t is in deciding such things
as these that the art of the miliiner
is called into play.
It is q French woman, too, who
does the work on small hats and
toqes. She has been a worker for
one of the famous firms in Paris
for Charlotte. possibly, or Georgette
or Camille Rogers. If her specially

A woman of wealth buys all her
hats between September and July
During the hot months the millineT
may fit out dozen theatrical com,
panies If she chooses, but she cannot
do this in the winter time, for the
two elements, the social set and
the theatrical profession, must come to
the milliners parlors at different
times.
Four sets of hats become a neces-
sity to the woman of unlimited means,
as follows: ID city hats, ~ coun-

for February and March in the south,

stitching. The handle consists of a
loop of broad ribbon, tied in a bow
at the top and made sufficiently long
to allow the bag to be slung comfort
ably over the left arm while at work.
On one side there is a hole through
which the thread may be drawn with
out disturbing the ball, and with no
risk of pulling it out of it's place.
The sides are of silk or linen to match
the front and gathered into a binding
of ribbon, while on the front of the
bag the word Knitting" is lightly
embroidered in silk, chosen in some
contrasting shade of color.

Dom esticated Lions,

There is considerable reason for te-
lieving that the ancients far exceeded
us in ability to train the large carnivo-
rous animals. We now regularly pay
admission to see men risk their lives
in cages with trained lions and tigers.
According to a writer in La Revue des
Idees, the Indians, Persians, Chaldeans
and Assyrians used the larger carniv-
ores almost like domestic animals.
The lion, for instance, was sufficiently
tanned so that it could be led without
a h. liter. and helped in the capture OF
deer, wild boars, etc. 1t likewise ap.
pears that the Chinese, in prehistoric
days, used cormorants to catch their
fish and had domesticated the house
cat.

PULLING TOGETHER.

A period of business depression or
failure, the loss of position or other
reverses, the cutting down of income
and the many dangerous sequels to
this dire disease, may bring the nus
band and wife face to face with
financial crisis. 1t is the entrance to
a time of stringency, strain and sac
rifice, with no exit made visible even
by the telescope of optimism
It means reconstruction of the
home regime on siege lines; there
is a reclassifying of household ex-
penses. and many Of tho luxuries are
quietly removed from consideration
and many of the old necessities are
promoted to the luxury class. f1nan-
cling arises from mere science to the
dignity Of an art, and every dollar
has to work overtime and do the duty
of two or three.
Chatting restrictions take the place
of the old freedom, wants grow I'M
pudent and insistent, and a new at
mosphere fills the home. 1t is Sit
uation requiring slow, careful watch
fitness, as that of a sea captain
standing on the bridge of an ocean
steamer and directing the snail-like
progress of his ship under slow steam
through heavy fog.
There is danger of fretting. blame,
recrimination, protest and lack Of SYM
pathy on the part of the wife, met
by tendency to GOODNESS, crossness,
bitterness, anger, hopelessness, sulks,
sarcasm or despair on the side OF the
husband. When conditions are dark
est the lamp of love should be kept
burning brightest. This is an occa-
sion where the two should pull to-
gether. You cannot move and guide
a boat properly with one oar; it re-
ouires the two on opposite sides to

all. The woman was surrounded with

and yet she saw no way of escaping
from her nightmare Of selfishness. She

remember the little tight-ftting, mar
rcw-chested basaues, the bouffante

underskirts and the foolish bits OF

in those unenlightened days.
Yet with all their fragrant disre-
gard of the laws of simplicity and
restraint and beauty they have fur
nished us with the basis for some
really lovely things. The fishWlfe
skirt and the laveuse tunic, which
were truly terrible when hips were
huge and waists were waspllke, are
positively charming in combination
with the present silhouette. Ihe
overskirt is caught up across the
front and allowed to trail downward
toward the back quite as it used to
do 80 years ago. The undersklr.

of our mothers and grandmothers we

really a welcome innovation among
the gowns of the serge category, for
the plain narrow skirt in heavy
material has rather the effect OF
blanket on women who have succeed
ed in eliminating their hips.
