7eos-Five GOred Skirt, "A to "a waisI


There is a very notable tendency
toward the wearing of long skirts
this season both for afternoon and
for evening occasions, and this one
includes a train that can be cut 10
any length. while the skirt also can
be made to clear the floor, so that
it fills almost every need. In this
case the material is charmeuse satin
with a panel of lace and trimming Of
buttons, but skirts of this kind can
be made of almost every seasonable
fabric. Satins, silks and velvets are
the preferred materials for evening
wear. but for afternoon there art
lovely and attractive wool fabrics that
are charming made in this way. Chit
fon broadcloth, with a panel Of satin
would be handsome for simple after
noon occasions, or henrietta cloth
could be treated in the same way.
Both silk and wool poplin are being
much worn and poplin can be used
in combination with velvet, silk and
lace. All hroche effects are fashion
able and broche crepe would be lovely
with a panel of plain satin. The skirt
is cut in five cores, the back gore
forming the train, while the front
cores are Tapped onto the panel. The
finish may be made at the high or
the natural waist line.
For the medium size the skirt with
the train will require 81 yards Of

ly blush and disclaim when anyone
attributes to her qualities which
every normal woman knows she must

Women are usually too sensitive OF
the judgment of others to be able tc

Yet you never see a woman who
is honest and sincere enough to show
this self-respect and confidence un-
less there are hundreds who exclaim
that she is conceited and unfeminine.
A man who displayed the same quail

There is a great difference between
being conceited and having confidence

Unique Ideas for Winter Dance

Dear Miss Doom
I would like some suggestions for a
dance to be given January 10 for a
party of about seventy five young peo-
pie. What special idea might be used
for one or two of the dance numbers to
make it original and unique? There are
no special holidays close to that date
SO that there should be a special scheme.
Very respectfully,
A READER.
An idea which is unique and new is
the moon dance. For this an arti-
fetal moon is contrived in the ceiling
of the dance room, with electric
lights. and during the other dances is
concealed, or left unlighted, then
when this dance is reached on the
program, and. by the way, 1t is usual
ly waltz number, all other lights
are extinguished and those lighting
the moon turned on. The effect is
delightful.
For another scheme sleighbells
might be introduced in the orchestra
music and in some way an arrange
nent made so that confetti could be
showered on the guests to represent
l snowfall

Christmas Gifts
My dear Miss Doom:

My dear Miss Doom:
Kindly suggest pretty gift for Christ
mas for two boys between the ages of II
and To- As l do not want TO be In the
Xmas rush l would like to get a list
ready. Also lease suggest gift for
a man who does not smoke Thank
Ing you in advance, / remain,
Respectfully,
A CONSTANT STAR READER.
1t depends largely upon the tastes
of the boys. If they are fond Of out
door life you might give them q base
ball, bat, couple of tennis balls, a
racket. a pair of skates. A pair Of
boxing gloves and a punching bag
are among other gifts that generally
delight young America. If the boys
enjoy reading give them good book,
say one of Stevenson's or Scott's
stories. A fountain pen would be ap-
preciated by a boy of 15, and, of
course, he can never have too many
handkerchiefs or neckties. A pair Of
cuff links or a scarfpin is also ac-
ceptable to the young man of this
age, who is just beginning to take
pride in his appearance.
And now for the man who doesn't
smoke. II you are handy with your
needle, embroider him tie rack. If
he is the happy owner of a den, make
him a sofa pillow, for man can never
have too many comfortable pillows
with which to prop his head while he
reads the evening papers A picture.
any desk piece, a good book. leather
wallet, memorandum book and
handkerchiefs complete the list of
suitable gifts, for unlike the young
boy. the man does not appreciate
having his friends choose his neck
wear.
am glad both for your own sake
and for that of the busy store en-
ployees, that you have decided to pre-
pare your gifts early.

Wishes to Reduce
Dear Misc Doom


have seen the good advice you
have given to others. l would ap-
rreciate il very much If you would
publish in your paper way to re-
duce my weight and some of my su-
perhuous flesh. Very truly yours.
X. p.
Walk, walk and then walk some
more. Don't meander along, but
stride rapidly as if you were trying
to catch a train. Do this every day,
aiming to make the walk five miles
long. In a short time you will find
not only that your flesh is decreasing,
but that you feel more energetic,
more like being active. But though
walking is part of the treatment II
is not all. With it must go a strict
supervision in the matter Of diet, an
avoidance of rich, greasy and starchy
foods, an excess Of sweets, alcoholic
drinks ana any liquid with meals.
About an hour before breakfast drink
two cups of water just as hot as you
can stand It. Avoid sitting or lying
down within half hour after eating.
II your heart is strong enough TO
stand the cold water take q cold
plunge or sponge bath every morn
ing, followed by a brisk rub with a
Turkish towel.
II you will follow this treatment
systematically I am sure you VIII
be rewarded. both by a reduction OF
weight and by an increase of health.

"The Window Wishers"
Miss Doom:

The Newark Star gave me your name
and advised me to write you in regard
to poem l am looking for. 1t was in
the Morning Star two years ago this
coming Christmas. 1t was the week be-
tween Christmas and New Years. The
title was ''The Christmas WISH" and each
verse ended with Don't It touch the
heart of you?" 1t spoke of the children
looking In the store windows before
Christmas and wishing for the doll and

you refer. 1t is called THE Window
Wishers." and was published in the
Morning Star December 7, 1910:
THE WINDOW wIsHHRs.
The little window wishers, with their
tender eyes of blue,
Standing there before the toy shops
don't they touch the heart of you !?
Don't you almost shiver with them, as
their tattered clothes you see,
The ragged little urchins, with the
patches on their kneef
Can you see them longing, yearning, In
sweet childhood's wistful way,
And forget them in your planning for
merry Christmas day?
Oh, the little window wishers, baby
hearts and baby eyes,
With their trusting faith in Santa, gaz-
ing there in glad surprise
AT the dollies and the soldiers and the
Teddy bears, believing
That they will not be forgotten. Can
you see them without grieving?
Can you think of them on Christmas
when the merry morning starts,
Disillusioned, walking up to the empty
stockings-broken hearts?
Oh, the little window wishers, looking
longingly today
at the wonders in the oy-shops in
sweet childhoods wistful way,
Dreaming dreams of Christmas stockings
filed with candies and with toys,
Just as full of faith and fancy as your
own girls and your boys.
When you see their big eyes glisten as
these splendid things they view.
Can you rush by and forget them, don't
they touch the heart of your
