FADS And FASHIONS
Things Just Out That Appeal
to Feminine Fancy

New York, Aug 14.-EXquisite re-
productions of Egyptian jewelry, gorg-
cons in coloring and possessing that
fascinating weirdness of design in
which the Egyptian jewellers excel, has
lust been imported for Philadelphia
trade. With this jewelry it was the
demand that created the supply. Amer
lean tourists, many who spend the WIN
ter months at Cairo and along the
Nile. complained to local merchants
that none Of the really characteristic
pieces Of Egyptian jewelry could be
procured here. Hence the pieces i'm
ported are of the most coveted de-
signs-twin asp necklaces, with gar
ishly begemmed heads, bright as ruby
and emerald-colored stones could make
them coil their snaky bodies grace
fully around the throat. Cleopatra
would have reveled in such a treas
ure; likewise in the marvellous neck
pires and hair ornaments, the latter
to fail over the forehead in true Egyp,
tan fashion. A crescent moon, with a
fringe of many-colored stones on fine
chains, was one of the most ornate If
the forehead pin designs.
The New Hand Bags.
A decided innovation has been made
in the metal mesh bags. The meshes
are still of silver, siIver-gilded, and
green gold, but they have a vastly al
tered appearance, due to the new long
metalized cord handles and the jewell
settings that adorn the front, in sort
of a medallion form, and the clasp. The
prettiest settings are Of turquoise aud
mother-of-pearl, or pearl and topaz.
The cord varies in length from 40 toI
50 inches, giving a drop of half that
length.
Coronation Amounting Spoon.
Possibly nothing in the way Of SOU
yenir spoons is attracting the atten-I
ton that the facsimile Of the anOint-
ing spoon, used at the coronation GER
emory to pour the sacred oil on the
King, is receiving at this time. True
it would be harder to conceive a
more elaborate of beautiful design;
but, nevertheless, the fascinating his
tory Of the original spoon, which IS
too long for telling here. has a great
deal to do with it's popularity.
Miniatures of this spoon are greatly
in demand for watch fobs. Other cor
onation spoons have portraits Of the
King and Queen done in colored en-
amel, or the English coat of arms sol
treated; again, some of unsurpassed
beauty have fine carved tiligree han
dies and borders for the bowls formed
of interviewer roses, thistles and
shamrocks. The latter are used prin-
cipally for serving bOn-bOns.
The New Jets.
Sphinx jet, new product used IN
necklaces, is remark
ably beautiful. While it is black, i'll
has a puzzling suggestion of being
made of many colors, iridescent and
and thus it holds the adj
by it's very popularity.
New Guard Rings.
The news guard rings are distinctly
fashioned as they are in
narrow bands, usually silver and stud
ded with nine of the most popular
s+ones-aIl of a kind.

porter had with him while he was in
this country last autumn:
The coming drama will be the play
of the last two thousand years and the
next two thousand-the drama that
entertains and interests"
The drama that is not going TO
come in the future. just as 1t hasn't
come in the past, is the drama that
hores while 1t pretends TO elevate.
Personally. don't want TO be up
lifted, but 1 dare say there are people
who do. The only thing 1 resent is
that they should ask me to uplift
them
"a man who goes in for play writ
ing, unless he has private income, is
an awful fool"
ITO write a play requires no intel
lectual ability. 1t is well to have in
tellectuaI ability, but not essential.
You can write a play II you have the
knack Of getting what you have to say
over the footlights. And heaven only
knows what that knack Is and how it
comes. Fortunately, only q very few
have 1t, and consequently those who
have it are able to keep the wolf from

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Operating eight figures, the great
Crenyon, an English ventriloquist, is
making quite a hit at the Majestic
theatre as one OF the features of the
last half bill which opened there yes
terday. Crenyon does some truly re-
markable things in the way of illu-
sion, and had his audience laughing
most of the time. The characters
are an old man. a woman, a tough
boy, a colored boy cat, a donkey.
a little girl and a clock, and among
these Crenyon does some very clever
work 1t is one of the biggest jobs
attempted by a ventriloquist. For
those who like real southern black
face comedy and some levee dancing,
there is the Carolina four, quartet
of singing coIored boys who can get
harmony in easy fashion and who
pleased with some new songs and fun
making Cody and the two Merritt
sisters in an acrobatic dance pleased.
A funny sketch completed the bill.

to show q ticket from the major domo.
1t was also suggested that. If possible,
visitors to the Vatican gardens should
be escorted by gendarmes, that tickets
for collective audiences or religious
functions should not be given to any
body not personally acquainted with
the major dOmo or who is not proF1d-
ed with letter of introduction from
a responsible person and that when
the pope takes his daily walk in the
gardens he should be accompanied by
four of the DobIe guards.
The pope was at first unwilling to
submit to these measures, which, he
said. restricted his personal liberty,
and he considers it unnecessary, as he
felt sufficiently protected by Provi-
dence, but Cardinal Merry del Val con-
WINGED him that the anticlericals were
as dangerous as anarchists and per
suaded the pontifr that the precautions
were fully justified. The pope then
unwilIingly promised to discontinue
the practice Of receiving his fellow
countrymen from Venice informally,
as it was pointed out to him that had
Desanti, who is native of 1stria and
consequently speaks the Venetian dia-
lect, pretended that he was a Vene-
tan and asked to see the pontih he

the audience chamber even without
applying for q ticket to the major

WAYS OF FASTENING FICHU
the Matter-Many Pretty
Ideas.

The favorite iichu can be fastened
in as many ways as there are days in
the week
Ii can be short and crossed at the
front under the girdle, or fastened by
pin in the center of the girdle.
Then the longer shape can be tied
around the waist and finished In a
short butterfly bow made of the ends.
Long ends hanging from short loops
is another disposition OF the iichu.
These can be arranged in two strips
or one over tho other down the center
of the back panel
Some fichus of fine lace or tulle are
arranged with very long ends at the
back that sweep down into a court
train.
At the back there can be used n
buckle of roses or silk In any OF the
various forms that can be made at
home.
The long. oval form of lace. dotted
with tiny silk roses and arranged
across the back. is chic finish. espe
cially If the lace or net fichu be over
a lowered organdie.
Jewels or beads or other decorations
used on silk. il the fichu be edged
with plaitings of silk
The black net fichu can be caught
at the front and the back under vel
vet girdle. 4 girdle of roses or cord
is but another way of making the
iichu an integral part of a costume.
The fichu is an important feature

DESK FITTINGS OF CREToNNE
Pretty Idea for Girls Room Is TO Match
Accessories With the Fur
nlshings.

For a girls room that is furnished
with one of the lovely lowered Gre
tonnes or chintzes 1t is a pretty idea
to have her desk fittings in the same
material. And she can make them all
herself, which is an added pleasure TO
most girls when they are fitting up a
room. First there is the large blot
ter. This is made by cutting a piece
OF heavy cardboard just the size she
wants and covering il smoothly with
the cretonne. The best way to cover
it Is 10 cut the cretonne little
larger than the cardboard and turn
II over the edge of the board and glue
II firmly all along the edge. The cor.
ners must be mitered so that they
just fit.
over the edge of the covering is
glued a gimp to finish it. At each cor
ner fasten a little triangle of the ere
tonne, folded on the diagonal side. to
hold the corners of the blotting paper.
These extra pieces are put on before
the gimp. Or, instead of the cretonne
corners a strip of the gimp may be
fastened across each corner and the
blotting paper slipped under.
The next thing to make is a rack
for paper and envelopes. For this buy
the cheapest wooden rack to be found
(unless you happen TO have a brother
who can make one for YOU and glue
the cretonne all over 1t, finishing II
with the gimp. A tray for pens and
pencils can be made to match By us
ing the cover OF long. narrow box as
a foundation and covering it with the
material in the same way. The ideal
may be carried out in any other things
used on a desk. as q stamp box or a

One would think everyone would
know that the best way to keep a

and yet, judging by all the specimens
of waist and skirt divorce and com
plete separation that we see. there are
still many to whom that knowledge is
lacking. II might be well to say, in
addition, that if the blouse be too deli
