WHERE HE sAvuREsEMBLANcE
Apt Remark of Small Boy Embar-
raised Topper and Filled Car
With Merriment.

Jimmie, who is very small boy
living in the East end, accompanied
his mother downtown several days
ago. Nearly everything he saw was
quite new to him, so he was not spar
ing in his comments and opinions and
questions.
Seated opposite Jimmie and his
mother on the car homebound was an
individual who. judging by the "blos-
som" on his nose. had partaken freely
of Joy water. None of Jimmie's neigh
bors possessed an appendage that
could compare with the one across the
aisle.
In silence Jimmie took in the stu
alton and the blossom" His thoughts
must have grown so curious that they
could not be withheld any longer and
he finally blurted out in a loud voice:
Mamma, Is that Santa CLAUSE"
pointing to the man with the red nose.
Embarrassed, Jimmie's mother tried
to silence her son, but 1t was no use.
In an audible whisper the connection
between the man and Santa Claus was
disclosed much to the discontinue of
the man.
why, mamma, didn't it say in that
story about Santa Claus that Santa
had nose like a cherry" he asked,
and the car was In an uproar.-Pitts.

Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-20

4 1NEN and pongee gowns and cos
tunes are especially fashionable this
season, and any number of most
fascinating models are displayed in both
materials, Embroidery and braiding are
effective both on linen and pongee and
the heavier rajah, but are by no means
essential to smartness, and, of course,
add greatly to the expense. The EN-
broidery and the braiding must be of the
same color as the material, or white. The
darker colors or black are, however, often
to be noticed. Embroidered bands for
trimming are also in fashion, and are
pleasant and by no means difficult to do,
$50 that if any one has the least skill and
patience it is perfectly possible to make
an embroidered gown with very little
outlay of money. sThe present fashion
of band around the skirt affords an
excellent opportunity for embroidery, and
while an elaborate design is effective the
simpler designs either in embroidery or
braid are very satisfactory.
A handsome embroidered pongee or
rajah or linen gown costume is rarely to
be bought for any small sum of money,
but this is the time when one can be made
at home with the aid of a good pattern
and even limited knowledge of dress
making, for there are wonderful bargains
in these materials of fine weave and most
attractive colors that have been marked
down far below their original cost. Thel

of lace that have been unearthed from
lector of laces quite wild with envy. The
great trouble about valuable lace is that
it is counted, and rightly counted, as van
dalism to cut into it, and yet what fash
ionable dressmaker is there who has not
felt oppressed with the rare old lace,
probably an heirloom, that she can do
nothing with unless it is cut, and hong in
herited belief makes that act sacrilege
Point lace founces and wells are now
being utilized, and most cleverly, SO that
while they may have TO be cut into, at all
events they do not have to be slashed and
for lace gowns that are most possible for
the old family lace.
Lace Pattern Robes.
The pattern robes of lace are in great
variety and of many different prices,
while never were there such exquisite
limitations at comparatively small cost.
AS may readily be credited, there are
most elaborate lace gowns, but some are
charmingly simple. The model that can
be fashioned of one wide or two medium
width tiounces is invariably becoming.
The fulness. only a small amount, is
gathered into the belt The waist is like
belted jacket, but if preferred there
need not be the skirts to the jacket-just
the waist with its draped fchu crossed
and fastened at the left side, with bow
of silk or satin or spray Of artificial flow
ers. A wide folded girdle of taffeta
comes high on the waist under the fchu
and is drawn tight around the figure,
making it slender. A band of silk or
satin to match the belt finishes the skirt
at the foot and makes the lace hang bet
ter. This model can be copied in black
or white lace or net and be made over a
colored lining.
Embroidered Lingerie Gowns.
The woman who can resist he temptation
to invest largely in them is either hopeless
ly bankrupt or pitifully prudent. The ma
terial will last for generations-th isl
we'll known--and such trifes as that the
style of the gown may be quite impossible
next year rarely prove sufficient reason
for not providing ones self with some
thing so becoming. All sorts and kinds

appearance gives an added charm. The
simplest models are the most popular,
but they are not easy to copy and require

the newest designs, the skirt with two

White Pongee Costumes.

White pongee gowns and costumes are
most fashionable-plain embroidered or
braided The gowns, in one piece, are so
finished that they can be worn without
a coat, but the short jacket and even the
long coat add a finish to the costume.
Gold buttons are a novelty of the season
and are to be seen on the newest cos
tunes, while soutache and round
silk braiding are in constant demand.
The medium weight is smart, but there
are also heavier qualities that make
up satisfactorily in anything of the
tailor order. The Grecian scroll pattern
is favorite design in braiding, and just
line of it down the front and around
the neck and sleeves is effective and very
smart. Too much braiding and embroid-
cry is to be avoided in any gown
intended for the street, and the greatest
mistake in the world is to load down
gown with coarse imitation embroidery.
Far better none at all The white serge
two or three piece costume is most prae-
teal and in greater demand than ever
this season, but the more severe styles
are the smartest by far.

New Lingerie Gowns.

The present fashions in lingerie gowns
are as rule on thefelaborate order, too
elaborate for conservative taste, and re-
quire to be most carefully made not to
hide the good lines of the figure. The
draped fichu falling down over the arm
is one of the most marked styles. This
is sometimes crossed in front and fast
ened at one side under the belt, or the
ends are crossed in front and then brought
back over the hips and fastened at the
back over the sash ends that finish the
wide belt The all round length of skirt
is the most popular-and incidentally the
most impractical-and the fitted lace ,un-
dersleeve reaching to or below the elbow
is to be seen on a new model gown. Wide

all white gown is quite a nov
city. But as midsummer draws
near the charm and delight of all white
exert a spell that is hard to beat, and
after all, is there anything so appro-
PIRATE? There was a time when an all
white or an all black was considered the
most economical gown a woman could
wear, but let a woman go to-day to the
leading dressmaking establishments in
this country or abroad in search of either
all white or all black, laboring under the
delusion that she will pay less than for
colored gown. These most expensive es-
Establishments assert positively that better
results can be obtained for less money in
colors, that it requires a more costly ma
terial and far richer trimming for either
white or black. The economy, then, exists
only in that white or black can be worn
for a longer space of time and can be
refurbished to look like new, whereas the
colored will be marked as last seasons
gown. and also there are few. if any, oc-
casions when black or white is not appro-
pirate.
The All White Wardrobe.
To dress entirely in white is an extrava-
gance that appeals to every woman, and
it is inconceivable how many white gowns
may be included in the up to date summer
trousseau of the woman who elects tol
wear only white all summer long, indoors
and out.
White voile de sole gowns are fascinat-
ing. the transparent, silky material show
ing TO greatest advantage over the silk or
satin lining. A band of satin or silk
around the skirt is effective, but is just as
effective inside, in the lining or drop skirt,
as on the gown itself. Braiding or en-
broidery ON thin material always seems SO
delightfully."- incongruous, so indicative of
much handwork. that 1t must appeal ire
sistibly to the lover OF dainty extrava-
gance, and one of the new models has a
large figure of heavy silk embroidery onl
the front of the skirt The waist of this
model gown is almost aggressively sim
pie, full blouse of the voile de sole
drawn down under a rich pointed girdle
of satin or silk and with an ornament of
embroidery, to match that on the skirt
above the girdle holding down still more
the full blouse. A low cut neck and ell
bow sleeves finished with pleated rufles
finish the waist of this cool and dainty
summer gown.
Not for many years has there been such
interest displayed in laces and nets of all
descriptions. There are lovers of lace who
always have some rare pieces in the trim
ming of their gowns, but lace used as free
ly as it is to-day is most unusual Follow
ing the trend of extravaganza, real lace
gowns are in demand, and the treasures

trimming. A princess slip of soft satin
or taffeta is essential with this gown,
which otherwise would make the wearer,
no matter how slight and graceful a fig
ure, look short and stout, two unpardon-
able things this year. Again, if color be
preferred to all white it can be introduced
by the lining and girdle being in color,
but for all white this model is particu-
larly good.
