How to Choose a Teapot.

The real secret in choosing a tea
pot, be it made of silver, crown derby
or even the humble but useful brown
mug" is this: Never buy a teapot
with the root of the spout low down
in the body of the pot. Let the spout
be set high in the body, then you can
fill the pot well up, without the tea
dribbling over, as 1t never fails to do
when having a lowbuilt spout close
to the teapots foundation. Far too
many fancy articles are made and sold
more fit to stand among chimney
piece ornaments than to brew and
pour that welcome beverage which
cheers, but does not inebriate.

ORIENTAL EFFECTS IN COLOR
Especially Seen In Quaint Tapestry
Like Effects Being introduced
for Evening Wear.

The oriental effects in color and
fabric popularity known as "byzan-
tine are still very much to the fore.
Especially are they seen in quaint
tapestry-like fabrics which are being
introduced for evening wear. Although
the pattern of these is large and bold,
the fabric itself is very supple, and
dresses made from 1t have the full
moyen-age appearance.
To drape this fabric properly re-
quires the hand of an artist; the OBJ
ject of which little preachment is to
tell the amateur dressmaker to be-
ware. The golden threads, for in
stance, which often run through the
fabric, must be so disposed as to
show well in any light and yet not to
hide the beauty of the color. On the
whole, it is wiser when you are deal
ing with such goods to let skilled
dressmaker at least drape the mate
rial around the figure.
