or four-inch-wide lace edging is closely

SAPPHIRE A POPULAR STONE
Have at Least One Excellent Reason
for the Marked Favor They Are
at Present Enjoying,

Sapphires are coming into favor
again, the reason attributed to the
revival being that the stone Of azure
hue is the only gem which cannot be
initiated successfully and made to
suffer from undue popularity. While
imitation pearls, rubies and diamonds
can be manufactured to look exactly
like the real thing, sapphires stand
alone as the inimitable gem.
According to we'll known jewel
er, sapphires have not been really
fashionable for years, although they
are becoming to women Of almost any
colored hair.
Sapphires bring out all the shades
of color in blue-eyed women, and they
can be worn with equally pleasing re.
suits by women with eyes in that in.
definite shade Of gray which changes
to blue in certain lights. A drawback,
however, is the fact that sapphires
cannot be worn with certain colors
in dress.

SKIRT MUST HAVE DRAPERY.
Hints Of the Pannier Are to Be Seen!
Ion All the Latest Models Shown
by Designers.

Piquant pannier models, models
showing the short bouffant pannier,'
are still shown by certain makers,
but rather as period frocks than in
an effort to make them dominant, pres
ent-day fashions. Everywhere, how
ever: one sees echoes Of the panniers
attenuated echoes, draperies that one
can hardly call panniers, yet they hint
at pannier origin or inspiration. These
draperies fall long and limp, are drawn
away but slightly from the front or
are caught up but tritie here or
there.
Still there is a tendency to a foot,
line narrower than the line above It,
though in reality the new skirt may
have added foot width, straight fall
ing, fatty pressed plaits Or limp folds.
No fare, except in extreme period
models, but a comfortable width for
motion and opportunity for the use Of
more material, and, above this cling
ing foot fullness deity draped folds.
Sometimes the whole skirt is plated
or has a plated section, or is trimmed
in scant founces, or has a tiounced,
plated or clinging plain front, with
some sort Of flowing train or plaltsI
falling from the shoulder to provide
the drapery.

haps for sale in bazaar, where, as
their cost is SO trining, they should
sell at a good profit. They can be
decorated and made to look pretty in
many ways, and one Of the simplest
methods .of ornamonting them is to
cover them with enamel in some del
icate light tint and after it is dry
paint flowers upon them.
The box from which our sketch was
drawn was treated in different man
ner and was covered with thin pale
blue silk. turned ovcT at the edges
and fastened just inside with NIL
cilage. A simple conventional design
was worked in silver thread upon the
upper surface, ana the whole effect
was most pleasing and dainty.
The design is quite a simple one
and may easily be worked from the di'
agram on the right hand side of the
sketch, and must, Of course, be en-
bro;dered upon the material prior to
covering the tin. Fine feather-stitch-
ing embroidered in silk to match out
lines the openings on each side.
1t is a good idea with holders OF
this kind to work or paint the names

belongs in tiny letters on one corner
Of the upper side.

in PREVAILING STYLE
SHORT CHAT ON THE FASHIONS
OF THE MOMENT.
Frccks are Longer, Though Not to Any
Marked Extent-"Fur" Shades
Have Displaced Black and
White in Millinery.

/! Frocks, as general thing, are longer.
The trotting frock clears the ground
well, but is net exaggeTatedly short
and al other frocks touch, though
their narrowness often makes them
| roll I'D when the wearer walks, so that
I they do not really look long, writes
| Florence Fairbanks in the Chicago
Evening Post There are good many
trained froc!s too; the trains usually
separate from the narrow understands
and most frequently square, though
rounded, pointed and fsh-tail trains
all appear and are likely to trail of at
almost any angle instead OF falling de-
murely in the back.
Unevenness of skirt bottom line is
one of the features Of the new modes
and has been the subject of consider
able experiment during the summer.
Many of the cleverest drapery schemes
demand such uneyenness, and a skirt
revealing the foot and ankle at some
point where the drapery is lifted or
where the skirt is opened up a little
way no longer seems unusual.
Black and white, so long the supreme
favorite in millinery, has been dis
placed by the new "fur" shades which
promise to be veritable craze this
autumn. These shades, which in Paris
are called eclipse colors," include
seal brown, mole, fawn, taupe and all
the grays from pearl to dark metal
shades.
The ordinary felt hat is at a discount
ttese days, for most OF the striking
fall models seem to be made Of silk,
velvet or fur, or of all these materials
combined. Rarely is a hat made Of
one material only. If it is, 1t is sure
to be trimmed layishly with some 9TH
| er fabric.
There is an unusual variety Of IA
brics used in fall millinery, including
corded silks. These are in charming
two-colored effects and in metallic
combinations, like gold and silver, gun
metal and copper, brass and steel.
In some of these fabrics uncut velvet
is initiated to perfection, while others
are quite heavily ribbed, looking more
like corduroy or Bedford cord. MORE
in black and all leading dark shades
will be profusely used.
Maltine hats are great favorites, and
are shown in black, white, corbeau
blue, copper, forest brown, combina-
tons Of peach and black, old gold and
national blue, turquoise and white, and
black and white.

To Cleanse Lace.

Here is q recipe for cleansing
laces which an old lace maker who
has woven many gossamer web for
the great connoisseur and lover OF
laces, Madame Modjes!la, gave to her
pupil and patron: Spread the lace out
or paper. Cover with calcined mag
nesia, place another paper over it and
put away between the leaves OF q
book for two or three days. Then
all it needs is a skilful little shake
to scatter the powder, and its delicate
threads are as fresh and clean as
when first woven.
