the unsophisticated this slender gold
or silver tube might appear to be
an innocent pencil, Of the sort that
telescopes upon itself when not in
use; but one end of the metal case
opens on a tiny hinge and within is
revealed the stick of jelly-like lip
rouge, which more women than one
would believe use now. This soupcon
of color on the lips is a great addi-
ton to a pale or tired face. and the
artifice is not easily detected if a
very small amount of the lip rouge
is applied. Many a woman who would
not think of coloring her cheeks re-
sorts to the lip stick to give to her
lips an appearance of rosy health.
EARRINGS are as fashionable as
ever; but there are two sorts: the
single stone, worn fiat against the ear
lobe for the street, and the pendant
earring with several small jewels
strung on a gold wire or chain, for
use with house or evening dress. No
woman who knows how to dress
would think of wearing the swinging
earring in the street with tailored
suit and small hat; yet these ear
rings are worn in such manner by
many women who ignore the canons
of good taste. The fawless diamond
solitaire is worn as a single stone
by women who can afford 1t. Flat pure

It is an unusual gown that has

of Venise Lierre and Chantilly laces
are put in the new costumes, often
under a yelling of chiffon or net that
makes the lace less conspicuous, but
doubly beautiful. One gorgeous din
ner gown, designed by Cheruit for a
young American bride, has an entire
tunic of Venise which hangs above a
black satin skirt yelled with black
chiffon, and over the Venise lace is
draped a scarf arrangement of tar

has rung down the ages, would have
said about the collection of trinkets
of modern bellies. Thousands of dol
lars are spent now in the jewelry
shops; not for substantial diam onds,
rubies and emeralds that have def
mite intrinsic value, but for host of
frivolous little trinkets, pretty enough
in their way, but all owing their ex-
istence to some transient fad.
Every woman who makes any pre-
tense towards being smartly dressed
these days must own, besides her
watch, welI-set rings and several use
full brooches (the necessary jewelry
of a gentlewoman) a bracelet or two
for bridge wear, several sets of ear
rings to match costumes and hats;
jeweled PLAGUE on slender neck
chain, a string of pearls to wear with
Dutch necked bodices, a long guard
chain with some trinket on the end,
special jeweled pins for veil, bouton-
nier and jabot, one or two sparkling
couture ornaments for evening wear
and from ten to dozen other trinkets,
including perhaps a jeweled lorgnette,
vanity outfit of gold or silver and
tiny cigarette case with her mono
gram on one side in diamonds.
These jeweled cigarette cases are
dainty affairs scarcely larger than
woman's visiting card, for the
perfumed Egyptian cigarettes design
ed for women's enjoyment are much
smaller than those bought by men,
and come in little perfumed, tissue
wrapped boxes that are dainty as jewel
cases in themselves. On each Gig
arctic is a gold monogram matching
in design the larger monogram
wrought in brilliants on the gold case.
About the same size are the little
vanity cases of etched or plain gold
which open to reveal a beveled mirror
in one side and a fat, covered box of
powder with a tiny puff in the other.
There are also memorandum tablets
and coin purses in this diminutive
size and all these trinkets come pro-
vided with chains attached t. rings
which may be carried over the finger
or hung on a chatelaine pin An

With a lovely clinging gown of
canary yellow chiffon com bined with
pale gray crepe meteor, are shown
one of the modish sets of hat, muff
and reticule of which milliners are
making a feature this winter-much
to the disgust one feels sure-of the
furpiers whose business in muffs must
be suffering thereby. This handsome
restaurant set by Beer is made of
sealskin and pale yellowish tan ben
galine, the silk being almost covered
with an elaborate design in furnished
gold. The hat has a crown of seal
skin and turned up against this is
brim of chamois, which is slashed
to allow the admission of a huge fiat
bow of yellow and black striped silk.
Yellow, by the way, is the color of
colors for evening wear this season,
and all shades of it are shown from
a very pale canary to the deepest
mandar in orange. There is a yell
lowish tan shade which is called ruff
fed canary and which does resemble
the color of the little song birds
plumage when ruffled.
Houseparty Dinner Gowns.
Two Thanksgiving dinner gowns for
the home table are illustrated; one a
gorgeous affair for wear at a formal
late dinner, where there are many
guests; and the other simple little
frock of embroidered gray chiffon for
the home dinner. This little frock
is charming in its delicate gray color
ing and in the com bination of soft
satin, embroidered chiffon and gray
tulle the latter being laid in airy folds
over white lace on the arms and left
shoulder. A cluster of cerise ribbon
flowers is caught at one side of the
bodice
The other gown is of black satin
embroidered with green threads. A
border of gold embroidery goes
around the hem of the skirt and the
bodice is trimmed with gold lace
yelled with green chiffon and laid over
pink chiffon. This gown is by Worth

COMFORTABLE HOUSE DRESSES.

ZYHORK dresses, those worn about
Ak the house, are really models of
we comfort and neatness this sea-
SON. They are new on the market,
and the garments are taking the place
of the old-time Mother-Hubbard
wrappers.
The sleeves of these dresses are
three-quarter length, so that they will
not have to be rolled up or pinned
back, giving freedom in the use of
the arms without fear of getting the
dress soiled. Many of the dresses
have regular roll collars or those of
the Dutch variety.

ing standbys in honor of the day.
Hundreds of these real Thanksgiving
Day parties are held over the length
and breadth of this good land, but
none the less festive are the Thanks
giving Day celebrations held around
deliberately decorated and lighted
boards with expensive course ban
qaets including everything from hOrs
d'oeuvres to bfsque tortoni in place
of old fashioned turkey and pumpkin
pie. From these Thanksgiving feasts,
needless to say, the children are ex-
cIuded-and in most cases the grand
parents also-and most elaborate,
Paris built costumes are worn by the
fair guests.
All the big country houses up in
Westminster, out on Long Island and
at Tuxedo, are opened for the Thanks
giving weekend. Hoardes of serv-
ants are sent out ahead to light fur
mace fires, get in provisions and make
ready the luxurious suites of rooms.
The guests arrive late on the Thurs
day and of course the elaborate ban
quet celebrating the day lasts well
into the wee, sma' hours. Friday
and Saturday are given up to out of
door pastimes. motoring, riding, shoot
ing, golf-and skating if the weather
is cold enough, and in the evenings
there are more formal dinners and
very probably a dance on Saturday
night to end up the fun. The very
latest thoughts of Paris in evening
gowns of course are exploited at these

Oriental and Quaint Effects War in
New Evening Gowns.
Even the department stores now
have their quota of Paris gowns and
wraps for evening wear, only one
costume of a particular design being
shown in a single city. American
buyers order these gorgeous models
from the French couturiers, who du-
plicate the same gown several times,
each model going to some important
shop in a different town. Thus Ma
dame in Philadelphia may have a
costume identically like one worn by
Madame in Boston, Chicago or New
York; but of course the chances are
very much against these costumes
rubbing elbows with each other.
Scores of wonderful Paris even
ing gowns were exhibited in the Oc-
1ober openings in New York, and
thousands of women packed the
rooms where these costumes We're
shown; soft carpets, flowers. potted
plants and exquisitely rendered clas-
steal music lending a drawing-room
atmosphere that showed off the gowns
to utmost advantage. At one of the
shops the mannequins, corseted, colt

they gave last night was evidence
that they are capable of something
more than the frivolous fun which
they enjoy at their weekly meetings.

scene was a den" in the kappa-CEi

created by each girl appearing ID

the climax was reached when the

to enthusiastic college life, and
each character would deserve spec
