Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Today's sketch shows the back view OF
this particular model because of the at
tractive method of draping introduced in
the SKIRT. There is a panel tucked over
the top of the belt, which falls smoothly
to the point below the knee where it is
tucked up. gathered slightly. and then al
lowed to fall in even folds to the edge of
the skirt. The skirt itself is plain in
front. with scant gathers at the waist,
increasing little in fullness over the
which is caught in under the back panel.
The blouse has v neck in front, with
an eyelet embroidered linen collar. which
in back extends almost to the belt The
sleeves are long and finished at the cuffs
with ruff1ing. If this were copied in
chamois colored eponge or henrietta cloth,
with the embroidered linen collar and the
girdle and extra turn-down collar of black
satin. it would make a smart addition to
your wardrobe. 1t is youthful. stylish and
useful for informal afternoon wear.
The idea of using these large embroid-
cred collars is a very good one for those
who do not care for anything elaborate.
They trim a blouse sufficiently, and may
be kept fresh because they launder well
The prettiest of these can be had in Ma
deira embroidery or punchwork. some
times further enhanced with medallions
of Irish crochet.
Pretty dress accessories are to be found
in abundance There seems to be a limit
less supply of dainty card cases, among
the prettiest of which are those of thin
blue or black silk, with fascinating land
scapes done in Japanese embroidery, and
Innings of pale silk.
Novelties in coiffure ornaments are very
much sought after. The manufacturers
are supplying some very dainty things in
this line to comply with the demand.
Some Of the newest are Psyche pins in
amber and tortoise, pins mounted with
rhinestone bowknOts, and the new alumi-
mum pins and barrettes decorated with
rhinestones or baroque pearls. These lat
ter are very light in weight and will not
tarnish.
Dancing and party frocks are being
made of accordion plated chiffons, some
with borders of blurred flowers in eXquis-
ite colorings.

MiIady's Mirror.

BY drinking several glasses OF water
a day between meals and before retiring
you will do as much to beautify your
complexion as could the most earnest and
conscientious beauty experts.
systematic brushing Of the hair every
night before retiring will do much toward
keeping both scalp and hair clean. The
brushing stimulates the roots to pour out
their oil and make the hair lustrous. A
brush should be chosen with bristles
which easily penetrate to the scalp. but
are not too harsh.

For curing a double chin one simple
movement is invaluable. but the remedy
should be resorted to early. as in late
life the skin loses its elasticity and fails
to respond quickly to the touch. Rub un-
der the chin with your fingers, beginning
at one side and drawing the fingers out
at the other. This done with first one
hand and then the other makes many
strokes a minute possible, and the flesh
under such treatment should by and by
begin to grow less flabby and the double
chin to be less conspicuous. Firm, steady
strokes with the fingers should be given.
and to quicken the cure an astringent
lotion should now and then be used.

SinuIa Fila.

When the Indians travelled together
they seldom walked or rode two or
more abreast. but followed one another
in single file. 1t has been thought by
some that this practice resulted from
the lack of roads. which compelled
them to make their way through woods
and around rocks by narrow paths. l.:
this were the real reason for the prac-
tice. then we should expect to find that
the tribes who lived in open countries
travelled In company. as do whites.
The true reason for journeying as the
Indians did in single file seems to be
feeling of caste. This feeling was
at the bottom of other customs Of the
Indians. 1t made their women slaves
and rendered the men silent and unso-
cial. This popularity is Asiatic. How it
