FLESHY WOMAN FINDS FAULT
Has Not Good Word to Say for
Frocks or Millinery of
This Season.
JULIA RoTToMLEY.

1t is interesting to note the anima-
tion with which women, or rather
some women, attack the present
styles. II is invariably the woman of
flesh who is the most emphatic in dis
approval Not a good word is to be
said by her for frocks or millinery of
this season.
Hats are imprudently absurd, skirts
immodestly cut, jackets trivial, and
even the efforts of great dressmakers
dubbed futile and unconvincing, as she
tells it. 1t is season, according to
the woman whose hips refuse to re-
dities. The hysterical note is struck
So why argue?
Whether we argue or not, certain
things must be acknowledged. The
present fashions in some directions
have reached such perfection that to
condemn them is ridiculous, to ignore
them impossible. So let us forget the
fact thst our too comfortable contours
refuse brazenly to confine themselves
within the slim limits of the present
silhouette and see If we cannot Judge
Vi tHt ldSiilOub OF tQe Oay Win an
unbiased eye. If not with entirely un-
trammeled hips.
In spite of criticism and caricature
they may alone be called epoch ma
king. Line and drapery have clothed
themselves in such artistic grace;
color and fabric have attained such
perfection of combination and weave
that they take their places with fam
Gus fashions of other days.
They are in a great measure re-
vivals. yet reyivals so skillfully adapt
ed te our needs and environment that
they are accepted with enthusiasm by
the intelligent few. The lover OF color
and line rejoices in their existence,
the beauty-loving eye revels in their
softly woven and luxurious fabrics.
TIE great dressmakers have gath
cred from the Greeks and Romans,
from Egyptians and orlentals, from
the Alexandrian and first empire pc
riods fashions. fabrics. and colors
which, when combined and crystal
lized. place the styles of this season
uniquely apart.
The Elbert County tribune., 1910-12-23
Vivid at Least.

Dr.. Hiram G. Cortlandt, the we'll
known theologian OF Des Moines. said
In a recent address:
Thomas A. Edison tells us that he
thinks the soul is not immortal; but,
after all. what does this great wizard
know about souls7 HIS forte is cleo
tricity and machinery, and when he
talks Of souls he reminds me irresist-
IDLY of the young lady who visited the
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how locomotive is made
"'You pour she said, a lot of sand
into a lot OF boxes. and you throw old
stove lids and things into a furnace,
and they you empty the molten stream
into hole In the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour It
out and let It cool and pound It, and
then you put 1t in thing that bores
holes In 1t. Then you screw It to-
gether, and paint 1t. and put steam in
1t, and 1t goes splcndidly; and they
take 1t to a drafting room and make
a bluep rint Of it, But one thing for
got-they have to make boiler. One
man gets inside and one gets outside,
and they pound frightfully; and then
they tie 1t to the other thing. and you
ought to see 1t gol'"

An Alaskan Luncheon.

Runners of woven Indian basketry,
with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the ~ covers. were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle Of the
table a mirror held tall central vase
OF frosted glass, surrounded by four
smaller vases, all filed with white
spring blossoms. The edge of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers, Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors Of
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held
salted nuts. and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were
of horn. several of the dishes used
were made by Alaskan Indians. and
the cakes were served on baskets.
The menu was as follows: Poisson
la Bering Sea (halibut chowder),
Yukon climbers (broiled salmon, po-
tatoes Julienne). snowbirds avec
auroraborealis (roast duck with jelly),
Shungnak river turnips. Tanana
beets. Skagway hash (salad), Fair
banks nuggets (ripe Strawberries ar
ranged on Individual dishes around a
central mound of powdered sugar.
arctic slices (brick ice cream), Circle
City delights (small cakes), Klondike
nuggets yellow cheese In round balls
on crackers), Nome firewater (coffee). &.
