THE FASHIONS
ARECONDEMNED
BARONESS RAZUs SAYS STYLES
OF DRESS NOW MAKE BRIDES
LOOK LIKE WAITING MAIDS
AND ARE NOT BECOMING.
Special to The Journal.

New York, Dec. 30.-The Baroness
Razus, better known as Mrs. Frank
Leslie, the name under which years
ago she won fame as a publisher of
national magazines, has Joined the
growing army of New York women
who are resenting the arbitrary die
tums of the Partisan purveyers of
fashion. The baroness, who is a great
favorite in society, says the modern
bride, who bows to the fashion men
tor is less pretty than her sisters of
other years and in some respects looks
"a fright"
I'VE have always expected woman
to look lovelier on her wedding day
than any other day in her life, and so
she has until Of late. But, friend as
I am of woman in all her phases and
believing her the loveliest Of Gods
works, I can't shut my eyes to the
fact that the brides of the lats year
have seldom been pretty and some
times positively plain.
There's a reason for everything.
The bride doesn't look so we'll because
her veil is unbecomingly worn. and
her veil is unbecomingly worn because
it is the fashion. The veil is the most
important and typical part Of the COS
tune. 1t should not be dispensed
with, but it should be worn in a be-
coming way. Formerly it was caught
up on the crown of the head by a
cluster of orange blossoms or held
there by a wreath. Now it is held
in place by a cap. like those worn by
maids who open the doors for US or
who remove our cloaks when We go to
a party. These caps completely hide
the hair and give the face a hard
look.
THE fashion dictator does not know
as much as nature about becoming
ness. Nature arranged that the face
should be surrounded and softened by
a frame of hair. Fancy how the love
Hest woman would look if she were
bald. Yet these caps, surrounding
the bridal veil, give exactly that eff

The baroness smiled as the various
wedding professions she had witness
ed in the waning 1911 passed in men

LIGHTNING Kills Few.

In 1906 lightning killed only 169 peo-
pie in this whole country. Ones
chances of death by lightning are less
than two in a million. The chance Of
death from liver, kidney or stomach
trouble is vastly greater, but not II

proved. Four doctors gave him up
after eight months of suffering from
virulent liver trouble and yellow
jaundice. He was then completely
cured by Electric Bitters. They're the
best stomach. liver, nerve and kidney
remedy and blood purifier on earth.

looks through a sacrifice to fashion
she has gained in self possession. At
every one of the many ceremonies I
have attended the brides voice had
been clear and strong as a bell when
she made her responses. And the
bridegroom, besides looking foolish
for a man always looks his worst
when he is being married-stammers
his vows and scarcely can be heard.
IF one listens attentively you can
hear a slight noise emanating from
him, but you cannot tell whether he
is strangling a cough or clearing his
throat. But, strain my ears as I
might, I did not hear one may say, I
do or will And I've never failed
to hear the bride say it.

NEW YEAR CALLS WILL =
BE In ORDER.

The pretty custom Of New Year
calling will be revived more than ever
this year, especially among the south
ern cities noted for their hospitality.
Pensacola, of course, will not be far
behind, either. Many Of the homes
of the people who are best known
in the city will be open for New Year
callers during the day, and an oc-
casional eggnog party will also help
to break the monotony. With several
dances, a reception or two, and any
number Of family affairs, the day is
not to be without its attractions.

Of pure gold, both set with diamonds

the apple was to defy death, it being

such vandalism would be Immediately
riddled by poisoned arrows shot from
openings in the body Of the statue
