BRAIDS AND BUTTONS
USED AS TRIMMING

An observant male the other day de-
manded Of his feminine belongings some
explanation of the fact that a we'll
dressed woman in blue serge near him
was. according to him, carrying seven
dozen buttons. He was told that she
was not carrying" them. but that they
were trimming her dress. He said,
"Why?" He was told that they were
smart He said, "Why?' After some
hesitation he was further Informed that
buttons gave note to dress. He said
"Why?' He was then told not to ASK so
many questions.
There are, of course, ways and WaSs>of
using buttons as a trimming, and some Of
them, though one cannot perhaps say
why. are really smart. But good many

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

The exceedingly pretty, comforta BILE
tea gown shown in the sketch has for
its foundation a one-piece dress of
charmeuse that did duty during the
summer. 1t is white with buttons of
cut crystal down the front and elabo
rated with a deep border of silver lace
carefully put on in applique effect. The
overdress is of coral chiffon cloth in
paletot fashion with the two corners
drawn up in front, flung one over the
down between. Then the lower edge
and the wide sleeves are edged with
white swansdown.
All sorts of pretty conceits are being
tried out in these room gowns. They
range from delicacy to daring, with
only ones individual fancy to dictate.
and now that the tea gown is reap
pearing, it, too. comes in for the same
treatment. Discretion is observed IN
street and evening gowns. but in these
more intimate frocks that are never
worn outside the home nothing is too
odd or fantastic to serve
Oriental suggestions are high in favor
this winter. The high colors and
draperies that compose them Offset
charmingly the simple arrangements of
flowing folds that will always be in
for the tea gown, however fashions
may change for more conventional ap-
parel. For this specific purpose there
is much call upon bordered materials,
since they tend to emphasize unusual
ness. or, with plain materials. there
are always sashes of varied and Con-
trasting hues to help out. In fact. the
sash is a wonderfully important item
in this special connection for it lends
just that flow of line that is essential
to the successful tea gown and that
serves to distinguish it from the more
formal toilet.
One of the simplest methods of fash
icning the popular coat effects has to
do with the sash, or. rather. with two
sashes. The two lengths are passed
one each over the shoulders. caught to-
gether in a seam for a short distance

Odd Shaped Wraps.

As for the shape Of the luxurious coat.
SO long as it does not fall in any natural
line anywhere it will be sufficiently
smart. Perhaps the oldest kind of coat
is one sketched in Paris last week. 1t
consists of an almost straight length OF
>broadtail, little less than yard wide,
ande with tailIess ermine. This is
caughA round the shoulders and fastened
at the base of the throat with an antique
clasp; thence its shape automatically re-
turns il across the arms to the back,
where falls straight to the level Of the
kneex
Here, again, it is clutched round the
figure to fasten slightly to one side of
the front. In addition to its oddity 1t
mas another claim to be considered smart
In that 1t completely fails to be protective
IN any degree. 1t leaves the lungs in
front exposed, while its loose shape per-
mits the wind to get round to them at
the back also All the vital parts of the
body 1t leaves severely alone only re-
turning in time to hamper every possible
movement of the wearer.
Although .muff accompanies ii almost
large enough to supply it's deficiencies,
It's Wearer is hardly likely to strap this
addition round her, which would be the
only sensible thing to do. This quaint
piece OF folly is sufficiently amusing, and
some fashionable doctor is likely to be
very grateful to it before the winter is
over.

CoI0red Table Glass.

Since the colored table center has quite
lost its vogue. the table has depended
upon the flowers that grace it for such
color as adds to its brightness and gay
ETY.. OF late. however, we have been ex-
perimenting in the direction of a greater
elaboration of ornament. and many smart
people have been ordering colored glasses.
So far all attempts to populariZe the
epergne have failed but the linked center
of glasses arranged in an oblong or a
circle with a trio of tall glasses in the
middle has at least revived the old-fash-
ioned idea of centerpiece. This is very
often of colored glass. and the service is
chosen to match. !.
There is one objection-unless the color
happens to be green-it is so difficult to
harmonic flowers with a table service of
blue or mauve or rose.
A rather pretty idea takes the form of
a service of opaque white glass. which is
decorated with flowers after the manner
of Sevres. More elegant still Is glass
trimmed with a color and having a mono
gram to match. but this fancy. though it
is far from common. is not new. Also
this fashion is one that is only intended
for the very rich. who can change their
service according to their whim. The or
binary bride and bridegroom who are set
ting up house will probably prefer the
glittering simplicity of good, clean, well
cut crystal.

The Golden Age.
By Ruth Cameron.

When future students of history look
back to the present epoch, | wonder if
they won't call it the Golden Age.
No. l don't mean at all in the sense OF
the old time Golden Ages. Not the Golden
Age of achievement or happiness. but the
age of gold worship.
The age when any one is considered
queer if he doesn't think success and
wealth are synonymous.
Above all things the age when no con-
versatiOn between average people lasts
more than five minutes without one party
or the other bringing in some reference
to his possessions, or his friends pos
sessions, or the possessions he used to
have or hopes to have.
At house where i once took my break
fasts one woman used to regularly regale
the breakfasters with remarks like these:
We'll. I'm going to take my husband
twenty-dollar panama up to town to be
reblocked'
What do you think. My husband $
forty-tive dollar raincoat has worn
through in two places, and he has only
had it a year..
Does any one know of good place to
have rings reset? / am so afraid of the
jewelr's substituting inferior stones. You
know | have to be careful on account OF
my twenty-fi hundred dollar emerald. >
This woman was such a fragrant Wor-
shipper of the golden calf that the rest OF
the boarders used to joke about the
twenty dollar panama and the forty-flve-
dollar raincoat, etc. And yet | noticed
that though We We're somewhat more
subtle about it, also We're prone to
insinuate similar references to our pos
sessions into the conversation
A young man from New York married
girl whose home was in Bermuda, and
on all the wedding presents which were
sent there he had to pay duty. So every
time the subject of customs came up he
would tell his experiences and enumer-
ate the gifts.
There was a silver service that must
have cost at least five hundred" he would
say. land a set Of hand-painred china
that was worth between three and -four
hundred" etc, etc. We used to won
der how the values he gave us COM
pared with those he quoted to the Gus
toms inspector.
Now this man pretended to be down on
the tariff. He should have been grateful
to it. Just think of the chances it gave
him to blow about those gifts!
How prosperous Mr.. A. looks
heard one woman say to another, docs
he make great deal of money!"
NO. he doesn't" said the other wom-
an, "but he manages to look as if he did.
That's the next best thing, isn't it,"
To future students of the Golden Age
recommend this motto of the age as the
best key to it.
ITO have money or to appear TO have it
is the whole duty of man."

AN EASY LESSON IN
HOME DRESSMAKING
Finishing the Skirt.

The placket on the majority of mate
riais can be arranged as described for
the drop skirt. This arrangement is most
satisfactory, as the finishing strip that
forms the facing and extension is in one
instead of being peced at the bottom.
thus making it Impossible for the skirt
TO rip or tear.
In very heavy cloth. serge or cheyiot
this mode of finish may prove a little
clumsy and therefore not desirable. In
this case two pieces of material are used
each two inches wide and one inch longer
than the placket opening. They must be
on the straight of the goods long ways,
and selvage is preferable. The raw edge
of each piece is sewed to the edge of
the placket opening So that the seam
comes on the wrong side. On the right
side of the skirt the applied piece is
faced back on the wrong side of the
goods and the raw edge catch stitched
fiat. care being taken not to let the
stitches show through on the right side.
The strip on the left side is allowed to
extend and the raw edge is finished by
cutting tiny triangular pieces from the
goods

MiIady's Mirror.

The value of different oils in the beauty
cult is not fully realized by those un-
familiar with its use. Both as an ex-
ternal and an internal agent, it's efficiency
places 1t among the first of the health
and beauty treatments.
A mixture of cocoanut oil and alcohol
is excellent for a body rub. and is more
agreeable than the heavier olive oil. The
alcohol has a slightly stimulating effect
that is most refreshing. At the same time
the nourishment which the skin and
nerves receive from the oil makes the
combination a highly desirable one. par
ticularly for, the person affected with

ChiId's Party Frock.

The question of children's party frocks
is one with a tragic past Too many of
these little garments are designed to
make the Wearer look nice and the
mother feel proud. without thought of
the existence of such games as blind
mans buff and hunt the slipper. 1t is
all very well to spend twenty or thirty
dollars on a dress of ecru lace over pale
blue chiffon over pink satin, but when
that dress has caught IN nail and rip
ped itself in a wholly unmendable fash
ion the evenings happiness has been
even more badly injured for the weager
of. the frock.
A very pretty little party frock not
open to this objection is of thick cream
corded silk of the old-fashioned kind. 1t
is trimmed round the hem with three
little killed frills of satin with a very
high sheen on It, These frills are curved
round I'm scroll fashion at either side of
the front breadth.
The rather high-waisted bodice is also
adorned with little Killed frills. 1t is cut
away for an inch two from the base
of the neck and fril of white lsse
turns softly back. This dress is very
pretty and very dainty, but it has the
cardinal advantage of being in itself al
most indestructible, the only perishable
parts being those which can be easily
and inexpensivelY RENEWED.

Fishballs.

Two quarts of potatoes peeled, and if
large cut in two or three pieces, one
pound of whole salt fish picked in small
pieces. Put potatoes in a kettle and fish
on top of potatoes. Cover with cold
water and cook until potatoes are done.
Drain and set on back of stove. Add
small piece of butter, shake of pepper
and one egg beaten UP. Now beat all to-
gether with a fork. They will be as
light as feather. Have a frying pan

had vegetables in it, two heaping table,

spoonfuls and drop into fat or shape
them in your hand, but 1t is too hot to

lies in frying them while hot to have
them light. They will be golden brown
The egg is what does that part and holds
them together.
