THERE is quite a revival in silhou-
cite portraits just now. Numbers
OF people are being portrayed in these
quaint little black cutouts. as a change
from the ordinary photograph, and
wonderfully artistic effects are often
the result of the silhouette picture.
One great advantage about these
portraits is that anybody can make
them. There is no need Of artistic
ability or training or anything OF the
sort or for any elaborate apparatus.
The only things you need are a sheet
OF paper. a candle. a pencil or piece of
charcoal, a bottle of India ink and q
tiny paint brush.
This is how to make the Silhouette:
Pin a sheet Of paper upon the wall and
sit the person whom you intend to sill
houette beside IL. Then light the can
die and place II so that it throws the
shadow OF the head on the sheet Of pa
per.
Then draw all round the outline of
the shadow with the pencil or the char
coal. When you have drawn the out
line in this way take down the sheet
OF paper and paint the whole OF the
space inside the outline with the In
dia silk. In this way you will get a
perfect black silhouette.
The room should be fairly dark. so
that you may get a strong. black shad-
ow. The surface OF the paper and the
side of the sitter's head should be par
allel, and the candle should be about
opposite the sitter's ear. This gives
you q clear profile. The sitter must
be quite close TO the paper. otherwise
the shadow will not be sharp enough
for you 20 draw around IL clearly. The
candle should be about three feet away.
The sitter. OF course. must keep per-
fectly still during the sitting" and the
candle should be shielded from drafts
so that IL may not flicker.
II the sitter Is q man make him take
on his collar, otherwise the silhouette
is likely to have a bull necked appear
ance that Is anything but attractive.
A silhouette drawn in this way is. OF
course, life size To make small
copies you viii have to get q panto-
graph. which may be bought at vary
ing prices, from a quarter up. at any
shop where they keep artists supplies
! With IL you can get exact replicas Of
your silhouette in small or large sizes
These small silhouettes can be copied
endlessly. either by the use OF the pan
tograph or by tracing with transpar'
emit paper or carbon paper.
The use OF the silhouette Is legion

Shun the Ultra
| Fashionable Silhouette

THERE has been recently a most
startling, and 1t may be said
alarming. outbreak of eccentric FASH
ions that unfortunately have for the
time influenced conservative style.
The perfectly absurd caricatures OF
gowns. each more conspicuously ugly
than the other. would never have been
supposed possible, and yet these same
gowns have been worn by women who
have gained the name of being well
gowned-a truly alarming state of af-
fairs to any one who follows the trend
of fashion.
Absolutely without rime or season
are these styles. evolved out OF some
dsordered imagination. But unfor-
tunately some distinctive quality that
holds the attention a certain graceful
draping of material. an indescribable
effect of the carelessness of art COM
bined with the best dressmaking art
certainly no inferior grade of work
would be in any way possible to carry
out such strange designs-marks them
as smart.
The ultra fashionable silhouette Is
unlike anything ever before known.
The figure is not distinctly outlined. as
il has been in the straight, scant skirt.
for there is so much more material
used in the gown. but the extra
amount of material is draped and
caught up in an extraordinary manner.
and the folds are drawn so tightly for
ward and caught up as to give almost
as scant an appearance as though there
was not sufficient material. This is
merely one instance of the vagaries OF
the present styles, but IL is an exceed
ingly good example.

DECORATIONS FOR THE CHRISTMAS TABLE

THE decoration of the Christmas ia
BILE adds so much to the enjoyment
of those gathered around its inviting
spread that every effort should be
made to have it as attractive as posi-
BILE. After all, the feast counts for lit
tie when compared with the thought
and care taken to make the table love-
ly and entertaining. 1t is that remem-
brance which fingers long after the
dinner is forgotten.
The feast may be most unpretenti-
Gus, but if the table is tastefully dec
GRATED the pleasures derived exceed
that of any fifteen course banquet
Many designs for decorations may
suggest themselves but the collection
described here is especially attractive
and not difficult to make.
The first suggestion will appeal
strongly to the children. Santa Claus
is posed standing against tower built
Of beautiful red apples and punches of
luscious grapes crowned with holly. A
wreath of autumn leaves and holly en-
twines the base.
The next idea is a dainty decoration
for the lovers of the artistic. II is a
bowl Of green pottery filed with small
chrysanthemums and asparagus fern.
Clusters Of grapes, bright apples and
smilax vines are arranged at the base
Strands of smilax divide the table
into sections.
A pyramid of fruit is very effective

FASHION REVIEW

\ CLUMP Of two or three full blown
water lilies with q shower Of close
shut pendent buds dropping from them
makes a lovely decoration for an even
ing gown, which relies more or less for
its effects upon its lines.
In Paris there is a pretty little acces-
sorry for an evening toilet which is worn
with a low necked dress. This consists
of a large rose in different shades Of
fuchsia and flame and in lovely wall
flower colorings. This flower is fixed
on a narrow ribbon and is worn tight

around the throat like dog collar
This is very smart and piquant and is,
naturally enough, one of the simplest
accessories for any woman to carry out
at home.
Another collar. which is intended for
day wear. consists Of a fiat ruche of
deep seal brown satin in the center of
which is a double row of purple and
wine colored velvet asters. the ruche
being hemmed at either edge with a
narrow strip Of fur. A clump of velvet
asters in the hat repeats the rich. warm
coloring very effectively.
