BLACK IN GREAT VOGUE.
velvet Is Also Used for Street Wear
to a Wide Degree.
RUTH CAMERON

From the Chicago Tdbme.
Black does not, OF course, have things
all its own way in the province Of the
velvet street costume. All Of the very
dark colors which have enjoyed a vogue
this winter are well represented. crows

There are lighter colorings, too. some
good dull blues which are most charming

On Friday afternoon. at 4:45 o'clock,
Beethoven's third and fourth sympho-
MES will be presented by the Heinrich
Hammer Symphony Orchestra. In con-
nection with this programme. it is inter
esting to note that the third symphony
or the 'Eroica," as il is popularity known
had for its original title "BoHaparte. 3"
but when the first consul became En-
peror, Beethoven, who was a radical at
heart, tore of the title page in 4 rage
and afterward gave it the title which
may be translated Heroic symphony 10

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.

phones they are apt to cling to the habits
TO which they were brought up, and one
of this number read a coterie of girls
long lecture one afternoon last week on
the economical advantages of seeing
articles before buying them.

plies by telephone and insisting upon
/ looking at dress goods before even con-
sileriug purchase. Every woman needs

they appear.
The convenience OF the telephone cannot
be disputed. but 1t certainly is an inoen-
/ tive 70 carelessness. One does not see the

latter amounts to a pound and a quarter.

Metallic Millinery Effects.

One sees such oddities IN metallic ef-
feCts for millinery nowadays, for al
most every hat one meets is trimmed with
piece OF metal in some form. Metal
bands are common; golden roses are not
unusual. Silver quilts are frequent, and
buckles fashioned from many kinds of
metal are continually in evidence.
To harmonic with these decorations a
pot Of gold or silver paint used judi
ciously on faded flowers will transform
them into new blooms. while a really
handsome ornament may be made by
stripping bare quill and substituting a
short length of Cluny lace that has been
painted with gold.

A point to remember with regard 10
the lining Of coats Is that white Innings
are no longer fashionable. Either the

a weakness for Jet robes. They have
