GREAT VARIETY OF FABRICS
Fashion Allows Wide Choice of Ma
terial for Fall SuIts-Imitation
Furs Are Being Worn.

For suits this fall the "velours de
laine," or wooden velour, occupies first
place. This comes in striped effects,
checked and undecided figured pat
terms, good two-tone effect being
produced by the raised patterns con-
trast with bright warp.
Velours de laine 10 supple and adj
mits of drapery, gathering and pleat-
Ing without obtrusive bulkiness. 1t
Ia q triumph of the weaver's art.
Boucle cloths are also highly IA
vored These are the weaves that
show little rings of thread that give a
soft, rough effect.
Peau de suede has the softness of
silk and the full finish of suede.
velvets, corduroys and velveteens
are important for afternoon suits, and
the corded effects seem to be most
generally used in costumes.
imitation furs are taking the place
Of the expensive peltry. These fur
cloths form little vests, cuffs and col
lars on Jackets.
Materials are, as rule, supple, soft
and wide. The tones are soft and
neutral, allowing for the introduction
Of the color note by means Of the
vests, girdles. velvet collars and orna-
ments SO much in vogue.

French Economy.

The French woman understands the
art of dress instinctively and by train
ing, and Is the most economical wom-
an in the world-both as to housekeep-
ing and the style of dress that will
best bring out her good points-the
framing that will make her an attrac-
tive picture. The perfection Of a
growth Is not it's elaborate details, but
the grace and harmony of its effect.
The best appearing woman at a re-
cent and famous French dinner wore
q shimmery green silk draped with
gray chiffon. with creamy French lace
sparingly used and girdle finished
with embroidery OF cut steel.

Winter Hats.

Most picturesque and becoming are
the new plush and velour hats for the
autumn and early winter which are
now being shown in the smart shops.
The hats are in small, medium and
large shapes, quite soft, SO that they
can be rolled and crushed to suit the
face of the individual wearer. There
are small hats with high round
crowns, folded in around the top
Twotoned velour hats are among the
newest models and there is an irid.
escent blue and black plush hat which
is most striking and becoming to the
average woman. A large sombrero OF
green velour with facing of black
velvet is trimmed with black Heath.
er belt, dull leather with a gilt buckle
The shape is extremely smart. A
rather high-crowned narrow brimmed
hat of two-toned iridescent plush is
in blue and black. The hat has a
crown of shot silk and is trimmed
with two made plumes Of the plush. A
small black plush hat, extremely dash
ing in effect, has a white satin band
inside the brim and three fancy black
feathers at one side.

SHOULDER STRAP COMES BACK
Modistes Return to Style Of a Few
Years Ago, Which Has Much
to Recommend IL.

You remember the jumper dress
that women liked few years ago
It was virtually skirt; a wide girdle
and shoulder straps, and was worn
over blouse of washable fabric. Well,
Il Il here again in a charming re-
vival of style, having profted by it's
respite, according to the New York
Press.
Modlstes have launched a few mod
els of the dress that has braces" or
suspenders, and it bids fair to be one
of the features that spell practical
beauty. From a comparatively small
piece of material and variety of
separate chiffon, net or washable
blouses, this new favorite will assure
change of dress at little expense.
Shoulder straps are seen on some
of the advanced blouse models, show
ing that this idea has been seized by
designers as welcome change for
the perennial favorite. These extern
sions are generally of the same ma
terial as the girdle and act as con-
trast over lace and tulle.
Buttons are used as trimming on
these shoulder straps with great eff
feet. They afford excellent back
ground for continuing any decorative
idea.

! NEW MATERIAL FOR NEGLIGEE
Madras Curtains Make Up Into the
Very Finest BoudoIr Garment
That Can Be Devised.

If you are needing a new negligee
don't seek for the material for 1t in
the dress goods department Of your
favofite shop, but go to your house
furnishing merchant. He will have
precisely what you need-a pair of
extra curtains in madras-that he'll
sell for a song. If they are of white
or cream or black, large-fgured in
pale blue, light green or vivid cerise.
SO much the better for you. They'll
make up into stunning negligee OF
the sort that cut in two pieces, and
slipping on over the head, buttons
from throat, to shoulder tops and half
way down the outer side of the XII
mono sleeves, with oriental beads of
huge size and lurid tone enhanced
with fecks of gold. About the throat
and the edges of the sleeves. place
heavy cordings in silk matching the
color of the figure on the madras,
but use no further trimming. The
material trims itself. A negligee In
this design is unquestionably modest
1t falls straight from the shoulders
to the toes, does not cling to the fig
ure and may be flung on in second
of time above princess slip of tat
feta or lawn.

To Press Plalts.

Now that plated skirts are creep
ing back to the realm of fashion.
women who like to attend to their
own clothes will want to know just
how to go about keeping them well
pressed and in good condition.
First of all, you must haste the
plaits In place just as they were
when the skirt was new; run line
OF basting on the outside edge of each
plait the full length, catching it down
firmly to the material underneath.
Lay it over the ironing board wrong
side out, place damp cloth over the
plaits and press with hot iron until
the damp cloth is dry.
Allow the basting threads to remain
In the skirt after 1t Is pressed for
several hours; then remove them, and
your skirts will keep their shape and
look nicer for long time.
This same rule applies to all plat
cd garments.

| AS TO SKIRT AND WAIsTLINE
They Refuse to Change Materially
Lapels and Coat Collars Are
to Be Small, Ia Decree.

OF all the variables that refuse to
vary the raised waistline is the most
tantalizing In Paris practically moth
ing is used except the raised or high
waistline, but over here women are
more divided In their opinion. One
sees great many normal waistline
skirts on smart women, but they are
usually the women who think they are
too tall or too stout to wear the
raised line successfully.
The cry of fuller skirts and normal
waistlines is always taken ur with
great vigor at the beginning of each
season, but 1t subsidies quickly after
an examination of the new models.
There is no doubt at all that the lead
ing dressmakers are producing fuller
and more bouffant effects by means
of their draperies and panniers, but
they have not added centimeter to
the actual widths of their foundation
skirts. The silhouette Is as narrow
as ever, and is likely to remain so
for some time to come.
m morning suits one sees the plain
notched collar, a little larger as to
the lapel than 1t would have been a
few years ago, but much smaller than
the collar and revers Of an afternoon
coat. In hacking suits the long plain
sleeve Is used altogether, but in silk
and velveteen costumes and suits of
that type the sleeve is little short
and wide at the bottom. The long
sleeve is smart in day dresses OF the
simpler type, but in a dress or suit
that is at all elegant either in cut or
materials the shorter sleeve Is pre-.
ferred.-From the Delineator.

WARNING TO ADVERTISERS.

The merchant wrote little ad.
And put It in the Shrek,
And there 1t stood day after day,
And each succeeding week.
1t told about his heating stoves.
He wrote 1t when the snow was piled
Upon the frozen earth
AS high as 1t would 80.
And In the sizzling August days.
When In the towns and groves
The people fried and sweated blood
They read about his stoves.
Years wore on,
The babes were born
And grown up folks were pinched
Some men were to the senate sent
And other men were lynched-
And some were wed,
And some divorced,
And some were boiled in oil.
And some were loafng in the shade
While others titled the soil.
And some were on the briny seas,
Admitting treasure troves,
And still that doggone foolish adj
Referred to heating stoves.
The type wore out,
The printer went to get another ad.
II tried that graft" the merchant said
And found 1t very bad.
No, advertising doesn't pay,
Go chase yourself, my cove,
tried your sheet for seven years
And never sold stove"

BANKERS SHOULD ADVERTISE
Newspaper the Shortest and Most d.
rect Route to All Glasses
Of People.

Newspaper advertising is pretty
generally known to be the best adj
vertising, but 1t is worth while 70 have
the fact emphasized by man who
not only has found out by experience.
but acts upon his knowledge.
In Moody's Magazine Mr.. r. L. Cur
ney, manager of the savings depart
ment of a prominent financial instt
tuition, tells why newspaper space is
most useful to bankers and others. He
says:
1.-THE newspaper is now control.
ling, likewise compelling. factor In
the life of every man and woman, and
we ought really to include every boy
and girl, for children nowadays are
omnivorous readers. The shortest
and most direct route to the attention
of all classes Is the newspaper col.
umn. for it is daily scanned by bust
ness men, professional men, mechan-
les, artisans-all alike. Men, women,
too, want their favorite paper the very
minute It comes of the press, for
they crave the news served up red
hot"
All buyers of space constantly are
urged to invest in mediums other
than the daily press. These Mr.. Cur
ney characterizes as advertising
lemons" Daily perusal of the news
papers has come to be an essential
part of the days activities to virtually
all who are able to read A person so In
different to the progress of the worlds
events as not to read the newspapers

Every time you try to shove a

An egg that is cracked can be boil.

it adheres to the egg, and prevents it
