berries. II made OF it perhaps. a
celestial plant
Il is guessed by some writer's
that the innocent use OF IL in Carist-
mas doings today had an origin that
it's wcll we do not know. Ii is said
that its general modern exclusion
from church decoration is due to its
ancient employment by the Druids
Among the curios traditions OF the
plant is one that claims that the orig
inal Holy Cross was made Of its wood.
Indeed, it was called Lignum Sanctate
Crucis
To the objection interposed that
its size would forbid its employment
for such purpose It is replied that
before the crucifxion Il formed for
ests OF large trees. but from that
time has labored under curse that
has diminished IL to its present di-
mensions.. or course. this is myth.
In bygone times mistletoe found a
prominent place in medicine for GER
tain supposed virtues II was. for
instance. a palliative to diseases OF
old age. and It increased fertility. II
was employed also in cases Of cpl

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE most
diverse materials are now combined
TO make the graceful dress Of the
modern woman Soft chiffon, lace,
fur. satin and velvet brocade are not
at all unusual as component parts of
the same gown. and the picturesque
effect is appreciated even by the most
amateur observer of fashion To those
unversed In the science of dressmak-
ing the juxtaposition of lace and fur
may seem wholly incongruous, but
there are few combinations which
are so wholly pleasing AS to the
kind of lace for this purpose. there
is almost unlimited choice The first
to be used in this way was Irish gui-
pure or Irish crochet This led to
the introduction of other laces, such
as maline, Cluny and Venetian This
season. Bohemian, Bechlin, Chantilly
and Brussels are having an unusual
vogue.
Fur is equally popular. whether
edging the lace portions OF the dress
or forming the entire collar and
other accessories. II is no longer
the question OF having coat Of fur
or fur set, but fur bands and trim
mings are used for every kind OF gar
ment from the large collars and cuffs
OF the fur coat, rich and expensive

evening gown will at once want this
accompaniment Plush has the first
place as an ultra-fashionabe wrap
material This was the material chos-
en- for the wrap seen in the second IL
lustration. Its black surface is in
beautiful contrast to the white fur of
the fox trimming and the white satin
OF the lining. The large collar may
be turned up about the throat, thus
affording ample protection from the
cold Rivaling this material in pop
ularity is brocade. but brocade pos
sesses neither the degree of warmth
nor richness, unless indeed it be one
of the brocaded velvets.
Both plush and brocade come in
the loveliest tints imaginable. from
delicate pinks and blues to the novel
black-and-white effects. A woman
may ardently wish for a style little
different from that Of her neighbor.
This will have to be given by the in
cidental touches. as evening wraps
for the season conform much to the
same lines, the modified kimono shape
with sleeves approaching either the
dolman or loose mannish cut being
most generally favored A piped
seam is frequently introduced to pro-
duce the dropping shoulder effect so
evident in all recent fashions

FASHIONS AND FADS

The small turbans OF white fox
simply trimmed with a single flower
are being worn by many Parisiennes.
The fashionable long, tight-ftting
sleeve is very charming when finished
with frill Of pleated tulle falling
over the shoulder.
AS for the Innings Of the fur coat,
they range from plain satin to every
possible extravaganza in gold and
chiffon brocades.
There is a demand for the dark
tailored suit, simply finished with a
rather narrow shawl collar and mar
row cuffs Of skunk fur
Satin velvet and messeline dc sole
are used for girdles on frocks of crepe
de chine, satin charmeuse and nous
seline dc sole.
Many new evening gowns show
tunics Of colored tulle; bright blue
over a foundation Of yellow and sui
phur color is very attractive.
Some Of the pointed trains arc
knotted when reaching the floor, from
whence the end spreads out into fan
fashion, bordered with fur.
Trains are narrow; many appear
separate and are formed simply by a
straight, narrow width Of the silk bro
cade or velvet composing the gown.
Pendants are the most fashionable
of ornaments; they are in every inn
aginable stone. The most excellent
are the semi-precious stones either in
gold or silver.
Some OF the most charming CO.'S
tunes are fashioned by combining
dark blue with white or silver, and
adding a final touch by pipings of
cerise, orange or canary.
The popular colors are named from
vegetables -artichoke, radish pink,
lettuce green potato brown, eggplant
purple. tomato red and carrot yellow
are very much in favor
rhc tailored suit is OCCUPYING con-
siderable attention, as it is the most
practical for morning wear. Soft
ratines, mapped worsteds and piece
dyed zibelines are materials most
used.
The most satisfactory guimpe is
made of plain net and finished with
an elastic around the bottom. This
holds the guimpe in place, and makes
1t set smoothly around the neck and
shoulders.
Side by side with the smart Rus
sian blouse which is so becoming to
the slim, tall figure. is the extremely
short cutaway coat and the short
bolero-fronted, habit-basQued Louis
XIV coatee.
The afternoon gown, which is made
Of a thin fabric like satin or chiffon
cloth or voile or bracaded crepe de
chine can be worn at the play or at
the restaurant, if It is made with a
separate guimpe.
Fur trimming should be most care
fully used, or it produces a heaviness
which is not attractive. Narrow
bands of sable, mink or ermine used
as a border to the soft silk or velvet
train is becoming, or a narrow line
OF fur around the decolletage is most
attractive.
There are many kinds OF sashes.
The Watteau sash is attached to the
shoulders and hangs straight to with
in six or eight inches of the hem,
where It is looped up. The prelate
sash encircles the waist and one end
is thrown over stock" fashion to
hang straight. There are broad sashes
suggesting the Japanese obi. Other
sashes have a fiat pump bow ol
buckle TO clasp them in the back.

MISTLETOE
ONCE WAS
WORSHTPPED

OF the various plants associated
with the holiday season none per-
haps. has. more interesting story
than mlstletoe It was connected
with mystical and sacred rites, long
antecedcnt TO Christianity, says the
Providence Journal Some of the
customs still pertaining to it go back
to old pagan days Ne shall here
mention a few OF these.
Every one is aware that IL was used
by the Druids in their various rolig-
ious ceremonies. A priest clad in
white robes. cut il with a golden
sickle. not from oak, as is popularity
believed but usually from the apple
IL was then transferred TO the oak
tree regarded as sacred by the
Druids Some say that il was itself
considered holy because it never
touched the earth.
Its sticky seed. finding lodgment
on the proper kind OF host there ger
minated and eventually, by certain
sucker-like roots. penetrated the bark
and wood of the supporting tree.
From this and the air. for IL is a leaf
bearing parasite, Il henceforth de-
rived its nutriment
Amidst the sacrifice of captivcs.
