NEW FROCKS FROM WORTH'S
This Great Maker Caters to the Taste
of the Grande Dame, Not to
the Actress.

Among designers of costumes Worth
stands apart. He caters to crowned
heads and the grande danes and not
to the stage.
At a display Of his gowns recently
few changes in style were noticed.
Waists are worn rather high, skirts
are still straight and most of the
bodices are collarless
Two pale blue dinner gowns were
marvels OF beauty. Each had mar
row pointed train and white lace
trimmed the bodices. One had a fold
ed fichu of the lace, which was most
effective.
Several afternoon gowns were espe-
cially lovely. One of these had a
narrow straight skirt, made to touch,
and with a high waist line. The bodice
was of black silk yelled with chiffon
and had deep band of gold embroi-
derry across tho front. 1t was cut
rather low at the neck and had sleeves
which came slightly below the ell
bow.
Another frock was of moleskin chif.
fon velvet, made in virtually the same
style. 1t had a band of colored en-
broidery instead of the gold.
A third, of iron-gray velvet, was
trimmed with folds of soft silk and
embroidered with silver.
Sets of furs were on display suiting
the costumes to perfection. Regal
sets of sable and ermine, worth q
kings ransom, were worn by the
models.
Scarfs are extremely wide and
shawl-like, and muffs larger than
ever.

Dan swore at himself for his tact

heart kept him from pharisaical ard
strenuous measures. He had been led
in what he was doing tonight by a
diplomacy and common sense that
few men east of the Mississippi would
have thought out under the circum-
stances.
Tell Mr.. Ruggles," he heard Dan
say to her, tell him-tell him!"
And she answered:

AS Ruggles repeated these things to
himself, he watched her beside the
son of his old friend. They were talk

to appreciate his bill OF fare while the
two appreciated each other 1t was
strange to Dan to have her so near

her off the stage had been so slight
and fleeting. On the boards she had
seemed to be an unreal creation made
for the public alone. Her dress. cut
fearlessly low, displayed her lovely
young bosom-soft, bloomy, white as
a shetland her head and ears were
as delicate as the petals OF white

her golden hair lay lightly, and from
its soft masses fragrance came to him.

Simple Frocks for Girls.

Embroidery plays an important role
in some OF the chic little evening
frocks, but it is most often in self
color and has no touch Of gorgeous
ness such as is shown in many OF the
embroideries for older folk. A little
crystal or gold or silver is admissible,
but nothing striking or elaborate.
A delightful little frock OF the pal
est OF pink tulle was made up over a
pink silk foundation. The tulie was
sprinkled with crystal dewdrops. The
only trimming was ruches OF tulle
trimming the lace fichu and bands OF
lace trimming which edges the ruff
fle on the skirt. At the right side OF
the frock at the waist line there was
a large black bow edged with plait-
ed frill.

To Renovate Velvet,

A velvet dress may be renovated by
hanging it up in a bathroom filled
with steam from the hot water faucet.
Stop up the doors and windows so
that the steam will not escape, and
spread out the garment over a dress
hanger suspended from the ceiling SO
that the steam can reach it on all
sides, and the velvet will not be
pressed against anything. Let it dry
in the same position. 1t should not
be touched in any way until it is alb
solutely dry. The steam should be
turned off and the windows openee
when ii is ready for drying.

H~eadmasters' Replies.

Head Master Peabody Of Groton was
noted for his wit. An illiterate mother
with pronounced social aspirations
once wrote him saying that she would
like to Inter" her son as a scholar at
Groton. What she particularly insist
ed upon knowing. however, before she
inferred" darling Harold, was the
exact social standing OF the parents
OF the boys with whom Harold would
be thrown In contact. Headmaster
Peabody thus replied:
Dear Madam: With reference to
interring your son at Groton ! wish to
say that I should be glad to under
take the task. II your son behaves
himself well no questions will be
asked about his parentage."
When the same mother received
Harold's quarterly department report
she sent It back, demanding TO know

He took me by the arm and led me
out OF the consulting room. MY brain
was In a whirl and I was incapable Of
resistance. I went up the stairs, en-.
tered my room and sat down to think
matters over Knowing Herslet as I
did. ] saw that II would be useless to
try to leave the house that night.
Perhaps I could manage It in the
morning. He had said the operation
was to be postponed. and there might
yet be time for me to save Leonora.
