have also been in great demand. Again
are these fabrics one and all utilized in
the most fascinating of gowns, and util-
lied as only an artist can utilize them.
No distinct line to be followed, no ar
bitrary rule can be laid down to pro-
duce such wonderful results as are at
tanned by the present styles when carried
out TO perfection. The material is
wrapped rather than draped around the
figure, but, while il outlines it, is never
vulgarly suggestive. The ,changeable
effects, either in the material itself or
obtained by the lining of one color of
satin and then an overskirt of another in
transparent material. are marvellous in
shading and contrast. There is almost
always high waist line, but Invariably
so placed that it adds the effects of
length and slenderness. The narrowest
fold finishes the skirt where it joins the
waist, and often this is hidden under a
soft belt or girdls with long knotted
sash ends,

gerated and are becoming and practical.
The soft. clinging fabrics are still the
smartest and the trained skirts of plain
and brocade silk, voile, satin and velvet
are one and all popular. The smart after
noon and reception gown is this year more
attractive than ever, possibly because of
the more generally becoming Ions skirt,
while combining plain and figured ma
terials permits of more variety. A charm
ing model is a plain liberty satin COM
bined with a velvet brocaded satin or
Yoile de sole. The gown is of the plain
material, the skirt .bordered with fur ;
then there is wide scarf Of the same
color with large polka dots of velvet or
plush and a muf to match, and this
scarf must be worn so that at first glance
it looks like long train. This gown
has only short train and is more on
the round skirt shape.
Liberty satin and satin charmeuse are

or motifs. The loose coat could only be
designed and finished by an artist in
clothes, for while apparently shapeless it
Is extremely smart, a most unusual conf
bination, be it known. The coat is so
double breasted that one side laps COM
pletely over the other On the wide
white revers is an embroidered design that
stands out clear and distinct against the
white background. The loose kimono
sleeves are short-just below the elbow
and finished with deep bands of fur. And
there is also the inevitable huge muff to
complete the costume. To the uninitiated
this model seems devoid of line and SYM
metry, but there is a charm about it that
attracts attention, and to the initiated
in the mysteries of dress the lines are
wonderful and the very shapelessness in
dicates study of every line and good point
of the individual. ~ 49,. 4
Long Skirts in Favor. !.
The long skirt has returned to favor,
and while the round skirt still retains
its hold on popularity the trend is all
toward the far more becoming train. As
is always the case when fashions change
from one extreme to the, other, not only
are the skirts of evening gowns made ex-
aggeratedly long but for reception and
afternoon wear are to be seen skirts with
trains that lie on the floor. Charmingly
graceful are some of the new fashions,
and there are many that are not exag.

White plays an all important part in
thing to bring white near the face-are de-
manded. 1t is a most becoming fashion,
and the fine soft tulle, net and shadow
laces are great addition to any and every
waist. There are many different styles
and lengths of sleeves. The modified
kimono IS so becoming that it is to be
hoped the fashion will remain popular in
definitely, but it is so extremely popular
there is small chance that this will be So.
Many of the evening gowns this season
have kimono style of trimming. The en-
The Washington herald., 1911-12-17

materials Of this gown are most costly,
but excessive simplicity is the keynote.
1t is not model to be rashly attempted,
for again does this also show the hand Of
an artist in clothes; but it does furnish
details that are worth copying. The
waist and sleeves can, for instance, be
combined with skirt much simpler in de-
sign, less difficult to copy and more gen
orally becoming. At the same time, as it
stands it is the perfection of a smart re-
ception gown of the present day.
Light Colored Gowns Popular.
White and light colored gowns of all
kinds are immensely smart, and becoming
more so every day. 1t is the customary
reaction from the black and dark colors
that have been so fashionable, and,
while not practical for general wear, for
the woman who is forced to depend upon
public conveyances they are none the less
perhaps all the more-smart. White
wool back satin, white cloth, white chif-
fon veIyets, white ratine and all the
lightest shades of color are being made
into the most fascinating of afternoon
costumes, of coat, skirt and waist, or in
the one piece gown to be worn under the
fur coat or wrap. There is something
delightfully."- incongruous in white for the
winter, and, then, all furs look so well
with it. Ermine, the skins without the
tails, trimmed with border of the tails, is
made up into enormously wide stoles and
huge mutfs These stoles or wraps are
made sufficiently warm to permit the
wearing with the one piece gown without
any other coat or wrap. Then the dark
furs are always most effective in con-
trast to white and light colors, and
broad band of fur around the skirt, wide
cuffs anu revers on a plain white cos
tune is strikingly becoming.
These wide fur scarfs are a most i'm
portant factor in the wardrobe of this
winter, and the beauty of the fur never
shows to greater advantage. As wide
and as long as possible is apparently the
rule, and often these scarfs are of such
proportions that they can be wrapped
once or twice around the figure. Mole
skin, sealskin, moire, Persian, ermine
and sable are the most fashionable furs
The Washington herald., 1911-12-17

for this purpose, but every known and
many unknown furs are made up into
these scarfs, with muffs to match as .
rule. The fashion has much that is prae-
teal about it; it makes possible the wear
ing of the one piece gown of any ma
terial, for it is so simple to throw OF
the fur wrap when in a crowded roem
and when the removing of a fitted fur
coat would be impossible. The scarf
must be both wide and long or It win
not be smart. When the cost Of the fur
has to be considered it is possible to
gain something Of the same effect with
the scarf made of velvet, satin or ratine
with bands Of fur, on the same
order as the chiffon and marabout scarfs
that have been, fashionable for some time.

A tax on bachelors was imposed
in England in 1895, and it continued
in operation till 1905. William Ill.
wanted money to carry on the war
with France, and this was an easy
task of raising it. Every bachelor
of twenty-five and every childless
widower of five years standing had
to pay minimum tax of a shilling

A Sharp churchman.

OF the famous Samuel Foote, caustic
wit and practical joker, the following
story is givei.:
Foote tried joke on the archbishop
Of Canterbury, who was not to be
caught. The actor forwarded copy
Of "The Minor to the primate, a play
SO gross that Irish audiences would
have none of it, though, it was big
success in England, with the polite
request that If his grace saw anything
Objectionable in it he would strike 1t
out. But the archbishop sent 1t back
without a mark and declared after
ward to friend that IL he had put a
pen to the manuscript Foote would
straightway have advertised it "as cor
rected and prepared for the stage by
his grace the archbishop Of Canter-
bury" And, judging by what history
tells us OF Foote'S character, he prob
ably would y
