is solved Of spending a weekend with
only small handbag. 1t cannot be
mussed. and the coarse cotton lace with
which it is usually trimmed is also i'm
pervious to hard treatment, and is, be-

Dress Trimming

A CHARMING Paris model for an
~ afternoon gown was seen recent
- - ly, which depended for its adorn-
ment entirely upon a sort of faget-
ing of self-material The gown was
a light fawn-colored challis. and on
tunlc, underskirt and girdle and down
the front of the blouse the material
was slashed and reconnected by
crossed intersections of the chalHs,
rolled tight into tubular pieces and
sewed to straight bands so as to give
the appearance of fagoting or of cat
stitch.
The same effect has been seen in
silk, and it is very pretty on a rather
thick material. though not suited to
fabrics very thin or delicate in ap-
peaFance.

Uses Of Foulard.

!" OULARD is becoming one of the
II most popular silks for fall wear.
1t is used not only for entire
dresses and for trimmings, but also
for lining loose coats, being espe-
cially favored with those of shantung
and like materials. 1t is an excellent
material to choose for a frock for week
end visits. as it packs well. and is easily
shaken. after unfolding, into smoothness
and freshness
Plain foulard is supplemented for
striped weaves and those printed in tiny
flowers or in oriental designs. Alto

Stornncoats

TIME season for travelling is not
yet over. but the maid who ven
- lures forth now must look out
for storms and rough weather. For
her benefit has been revived the old
fashioned stormcoat, of rough serge
or cheviot, with long waterproof
cape and wide kimono sleeves. The
coat is long, reaching entirely to the
bottom of the dress, and is double
breasted, as a further protection
against rain and cold, being fastened
by double row of big buttons. it
has the advantage of being perfectly
adaptable to home make, since it is
simple in cut and plain in appearance.
AS an idea of the amount of material
required, it may be said that Sc bust
measure, an average size, requires
about 5A yards of 54-inch material.

A USEFUL and attractive garment
~ that can be made at home by any
Il - woman used to simple tailoring,
is the reversible cloak, made semifit-
ting, with kimono sleeves, and usually
of broadcloth lined with soft satin. The
broadcloth side is of some dark color
Or black, with plain light or white
revers of satin; and it is used for after
noon wear. The satin side is in some
light evening shade, with satin revers
in slightly darker color, and makes
a charming wrap for the theater, etc.
1t is not nearly so hard to make as it
sounds and is extremely economical,
being really two garments in one.

or just for the pretty afternoon apron,
this pattern, think, is most attractive.
If you have the slightest doubt, try
one on a friend.

Order TO show Cause why Case shouldn't
We Taken From supreme Court.

PATERSON, MI, Jan. 9.-Vice-Chan-
cellor Stevens has issued an order TO
show cause why an injunction should
not issue restraining the Supreme Court
from trying suits brought by the Chestnut
Hill Land Company Of Paterson. against
the Fast Jersey Water Company. the
Jersey City Water Supply Company and
the city OF Newark for damages on ac-
count OF diversion OF the waters OF the
Passaic watershed.
This diversion. the land company as
serts, has dimipished the valus OF its
property along the Passs io River by re-
ducing the flow Of the stream. The trial
of the suits was scheduled for to. morroys
in the Passaic circuit OF the Supreme
Court. Jersey City vas also represented
in the proceedings before Vice-Chan-
cellor Stevens. because OF it's interest in
the Jersey City Water Supply Company
The contention OF counsel for the two
cities and the water c0rpcrPtione was
that the iseue wsS one that'should not
have been brought at common law,
being a proper subject for court OF
equity. IL WIS argued also that 1t would
be difficult for a jury properly to assess
damages against the various defendants,
especially when ths contention would
arise that a great doai OF the DANA ge
complained of was due TO Paterson SOW
age. Paterson 10 not made u defendant I
in the suit.
The action of the vice-Chancellor means
an indefinite postponeraent OF the trials
