Detachable Flower.

1t must have been the girl of small
allowance who invented the detach-
able flower for her hat. Trimming
the winters chapeaux is so simple
that it is an easy matter to whisk
off one flower and put on another to
match the next costume worn.
Velvet poinsettias are a favorite
flower on winter hats for those who
can stand the vivid red so close to the
face.
Another popular flower is huge vel
vet roses in rich dull tones. A new
idea is to outline the edges of these
roses with tiny beads to correspond
to the color Of the costume worn.
Instead of sewing on the detach-
able roses each time, they are pro
vided with tiny safety pins on the
under side. which are quickly adjusted
to the trimming.

Garments.

An unusually decollete neck finish,
extremely short sleeves and an irregu-
lar-shaped train inclined to shortness
are features having a bearing on the
new evening gowns for fall and win
ter. Lace plays large part, both as
foundation material and for trim
ming purposes, every variety being
used, no matter what the texture or
pattern. Allover designs or robe
gowns are used as an underbody, in
which case the filmy draperies par

TALLY conceal the pattern. They are
ished silks, crepes and satins, and in
these instances usually are cut in one
with the waist. Some of the newest
models show the allover lace exten-
sion below the waist line in cutaway
coat effect, Cheyenne frill or peplum.
In some instances the pointed effect
is made in the front, with tapering
lines cutting off to the waist in the
back.-Dry Goods Economist.

II the Bisected Skirt Is to Be Gen.
orally Worn Let It Have Femi-
nine Appellation.

1t is thought by some in Germany
that the name "harem skirt" or more
horrible still "trouser skirt" is the
only thing that prevents the spread
and general use Of this much talked of
article of wearing apparel. So these
same people have offered a prize for
the best names and have hit up ""Ama-
Zon" and cavalier" skirt as a result
and hope by keeping these more allur-
ing titles before the feminine public to
popularize the garment. Not that it
needs so much to be popularized, they
say. The leading German shops ad-
vertise it in bewildering variety, and
privately claim that orders are pour
ing in to degree which shows that,
like other extreme modes gone be-
fore, the trousers-er, that is, the
cavalier Skirts sure to conquer in
the end. But If the more timid fol-
lower of fashion buys one, and keeps
it hanging in her closet to gaze upon
with awe and admiration, yet is afraid
to wear "trouser" skirt upon the
street, by all means let us christen it
with something softer and more femi-
pine.

needed that attention.
James came out in a few days,
sober and in his right mind. He knew
how bad he had been, and he sup
posed she did, too, so he told her he
was not fit to speak to her, but he was
going to be, man now, and would
she forgive him? And Genevieve said
he must be a man for her sake, and
she would forgive him, because she
was sure he was repentant and would
never fall again.
When James went back to the club
the next night he lifted restraining
palm to his friends and said: ''Never
again! I'm on the water wagon for
keeps" And his friends laughed, be-
cause they had climbed on the water
wagon themselves at the bidding of
nice girl.
About Christmas Genevieve had
shock. James was doing great busi-
ness and, besides, it was the blessed
holiday season. He was to dine with
them on Christmas, and when he ar
rived, rather late in the afternoon, he
had been warding off the cold of the
drive.
Genevieve cried her eyes out that
night, down on the floor beside her
bed; and James went back to the club
and gathered together a monumental

ashamed.
By the time this wore off, he was
truly repentant, and hated the very
smell of the stuff. So he drove out to
see Genevieve and told her SO. Gene

MAKING a pillow Cover Elt

The cover of a sofa pillow can be
made to fit well by the following little
trick; After sewing up three sides
but before turning the cover right side
out, tack the two finished corners OF
the case securely to two corners OF
the pillow. Turn the case over the
pillow. Sew up the fourth side for an
inch or two at each end. Tack these
two corners to the corresponding cor
ners of the cushion. Finish as usual.
This keeps the pillow from pulling
and sagging away from the cover

The Genevieve Who Married
to Reform Him

cerely and James now declared that
he hated the very smell of the stuff.
These two things stood to Genevieve
in the relation of cause and effect.
And this was the exact moment chos-
en- by James in which to ask her to
marry him.
When James and Genevieve came
back from their honeymoon, the happy
bridegroom was warmly congratulated
by his many friends. When he went
home to Genevieve the first evening
he said, IN darling assure you moth
ingwrong-ha -hatetastestuff."
All the years that James was com.
ing home to Genevieve perfectly sober
-er-that is, sober at least three
evenings out Of the week, Genevieve
was thinking with some pride that If
he would only straighten up, he
would show those friends of his who
had so far outdistanced him in the
race-because, really, said Genevieve
to herself, James was far the ablest of
them all. 1t was nothing but his dis
astrous habits that stood in his way.
And at last the day dawned when
James came to. He saw what he real
ly looked like and decided that the
time had come when he must straight
en- up and leave behind his boyish
ways. So he Strengthened up. Imme.
diately? Yes, Immediately. Was it an
awful struggle? No, it was not an
awful struggle.
He was sick a week or so and felt
depressed and down for months. but
that was about ALL Because the truth
is that it is not such an awful strug-
gle, as rule. The truth is that
James and John and William and
Charles are not often in earnest when
they say they want to stay on the wa
ter wagon, SO they cheerfully fall off
again.
Their wives think they are? Yes,
but their wives only see them when
they are depressed and down in the
mouth. The minute James and the
rest of them get outdoors, they are
different men.
You don't believe it? Well, you ask
your brother about it, Genevieve, my
dear, and watch what he says.
Well, when James really made up
his mind to quit he just quit. And
the saddest point of the story is right
here-he never did astonish the world.
He never set the river on fire, he
never did thing except to continue
to make rather shabby living for
Genevieve.
She had reformed him, but the re-
form was about all there was left. AS
Genevieve sometimes said to herself,
1T seems as if he were only ghost
only ghost'
AS he was perfectly commonplace
ghost at that, perhaps Genevieve did
not have much of run for her money

When woman marries man to re-
form him she fails to take into con-
sideration that by the time she has
got 1t done there will be nothing left
but reform-the man will be entirely
rotted away.
James was delightful man with
only one bad habit. 1t was the habit
which most women call dad habits"
He was a real estate man, was James,
and his bad habits were very active
right after he had cinched a deal. He
cinched a deal rather so often-per-

Genevieve met James at q club
party, according to the commonplace
wont of things, and he was very nice
to her. She was a nice little thing,
and he got into the habit of driving
out rather often to her fathers home
on the very edge of the town. 1t is
not too much to say that Genevieve
fell in love with him. James fell in
love with her, too. Then he went
driving out to see Genevieve very
often and was allowed to stay to sup

Then, as cool weather came on, he
was rather busy and fell from grace,
as usual, when he cinched deal And
at last, at a party, Genevieve saw him
when he had fallen from grace. He
was bit above himself, and, besides,
she danced with him and noticed
something about his breath.
Next morning big brother said, "Jim
had lovely souse on last night, didn't
he? But he certainly had nerve to
dance with you. You should have
turned him down."
Genevieve gasped a bit. Then she
said, HE was nothing of the kind,
and don't thank you." And then she
ran to her big, pretty, pink and white
room and got down upon her knees
and cried and cried. Then, when she
could get her breath, she remembered
his; and then she prayed for Jim very
sincerely and very girlishly, and felt
better.
