feature of the most fashionable shoes.
Black or black and white wells will
be worn in preference to colors this

cord is a finish for fur wraps. muffs
and neckpieces.
Colored silks, moires and satins are
the leaders among the materials for
tailored costumes.
The high girdle of the moment must
have the appearance Of swathing the
waist loosely.
Very fashionable are platinum
mourning necklaces, set with tiny
pearls, onyx or diamonds.
Odd bands of multi-colored embroid-
cry are conspicuous notes Of the new
indoor dresses.
Changeable velvets. as well as vel
vets with richly cut figures, make
handsome calling costumes.
Wide velvet hair ribbons are in
vogue for children, and the tartan
plaids are quite smart.
Muffs Of satin, velvet or silk, match
ing ones costume, will be extremely
modish this winter.
Exceedingly handsome are the RIB

band Of satin or Persian silk
The stock and tie have come back
into fashion, affording relief from the
monotony of the stiff collar.

REGARDING Elizabeth

Without woman the two extremities of
this life would be destitute of succor and
the middle would be devoid of pleasure

In some forgotten garnet of this
country, as l do not doubt, yellowed
with age, stained and undistinguish-
able, lost among uncared-for relics of
another day, there may be records of
that interview between two strange
personalities, John Calhoun and
Helena Won Ritz, in the arrangement
of which 1 played the part above de-
scribed. / was not at that time privi-
legged to have much more than a
guess at the nature of the interview.

An inexpensive gift for children
consists in a set Of bean bags. Make
from denim Of red and green, fill not
too tight with navy beans. Then gel
a good-sized barrel hoop from an &C
commodating grocer, wind with rec
cotton material and attach bell IL
bow at top. leaving loop by which
the hoop may be suspended. TIL,
trick is to throw the bags through
the hoop and ringing the bell score
an extra point. Grown people enjo,
a game of bean bags and 1t is fin
amusement for people who are tryin
to reduce flesh by standing "20" mir
utes after each meal.

Her Husbands.

It is said that before a man has dis
covered the color Of girls eyes she
is planning her trousseau and leading
him to the altar-but
The bachelor girls destination ne
cessitated their going through Wood
lawn cemetery, In New York, q por-
ton of the city they had never before
visited. They stoEed for long time
on the bridge which ,rosses the lake
to admire the wonderfully well-kept
banks, which slope dowA to the edge
of the lake, with here and there some
artistically arranged shrubbery serv-
ing as background. AS they cast a
last look at the island, situated at one
end of the lake, which is so tiny that
one wonders how the large willow
tree standing at the waters edge with
its dropping branches hanging so low
that they sweep backward and for
ward In the water with the wind, could
possibly have grown there, one Of the
bachelor girls was heard to remark
to her companion: Wouldn't this be
an ideal place to bury ones husbands
and come and weep over their
graves?"

open.Air BARRIERS In Spain.

Fingers that smell Of garlic, soap
that gives no lather, razor that may
have been used for cutting a raw
ham, and flourish that reminds one
of an executioner rather than Of a
barber such are the qualifications Of
the itinerant Spanish hairdresser, de-
clares writer in the Wide World.
The victim-we use the term advised
ly-must be a patient, suffering
man, neither the slave of time nor of
any petty feelings such as delicacy
and sensitiveness, a. otherwise he will
fare badly at the hailds of his torturer
For the Spanish open-air barber is a
calm man, who takes everything for
granted, and never for a moment
doubts that you are satisfied with his
attentions and will pay him accord.

A Popularity of Dreams.
