Indoor Costumes

costumes she will wear abroad, where she
IS the observed Of all observers, she turns
her attention TO the frCcks for Indoors.

the debutante will demand her share, ana
not one but several sets, will have 10 Do

or collarette, TO wear with the tailored
suit or the more generous collar on the

the fox sets, whether i'm the red or olue'
More striking, and perhaps for that rea-
son not considered quite as rehned, are
the leopard. civet cat and wolverine SETS
but they are certainly very new and very
stunning For dressy occasions there are
attractive sets in moleskin, with touches
of ermine, chinchilla and squirrel, or tne
white fox which is invariably becoming
to those blessed with youthful complex
ion, In addition, there are sets OF every
description which have been concocted
from velvet or chiffon. with edges ana
clever touches of fur. Even the cloth OF
the suit is cSralled and combined With
fur to make a chic set. So varied are
these sets that no girl with clever

there are to be two tailored suits in the

youth producing and pretty.
NOVEL SKIRTS.
Skirts of ali Indistinct plaid are effective

often fur. This fur will appear edging

For the third suit, or the second, as the
case may be, one in velvet, brocaded vel

will undoubtedly be trimmed with fur,
perhaps skunk, opossum or ermine.

ing debutantes insist upon having these
coats cut on the lines of their brothers

discreet tailor makes without deluding
them in their notion that they are wear
ing the same mannish coat. The newest
of these coats have the set In sleeve. or
the raglan, which is so we'll liked by the
masculine element.

Hats and
Other Necessaries

Many are the square boxes, white and
lowered which are carried into the home
where there is a debutante. Nine out of
ten girls will admit to a penchant for
hats, and when the year arrives that the
pursestrngs are opened wide and daugh-
ter is allowed to indulge this fancy the
milliners' shops are haunted during the
morning promenade There are so many
costumes which demand a certain hat
she VIII argue glibly TO the protesting
mother Just how many hats she will
finally be permitted to buy is limited only
by the aforementioned family purse.
There must be the trig little hat for the
walk on the avenue 1t may be of plush
velOurs. felt or even velvet. The velours
hat is strictly unitarian. Rain or snow
does not feaze it; it comes out from an
encounter with either as good as new.
These hats are so supple that they can
be bent, indented, crushed and arranged
at any desired angle A dash of color is
introduced by a fancy Of a brilliant
orange hue. tangerine yellow, ruby red
or any of the bold, bright colors Of the
season.
For the street also the sailor models
are considered very smart especially
when they are simply trimmed with
a band of ribbon ending in a fiat pump
bow either directly in front or at the
back. For this purpose MORE ribbon is
the newest. a leather band is also very
well liked. These severe effects are high

wisely for the strictly tailored ensemble

TAM o. SHANTER HATS.

Inc Tam q Shdntcr crowns are so very
girlish and becoming that it is not sur
prising to find them so popular among
the younger generation. One stunning
hat of this type ordered by a young
blonde to wear with her black velvet suit
is of black velours, with a wide brim Of
the natural opossum. A little 10 one side
Of the front is placed an ornament of
vari-coloTed embroidery. To wear with
this she has bought a closely fitting col
larette Of the fur, caught at the side
with bow of black velvet ribbon and
long ends reaching below the waist, fin
ished with the embroidery. Even the
deep muff of velours, edged with the fur
has a motif Of the embroidery by way N
trimming The hat shown in the draw
ing has the crown Of velvet on the Tam
o'Shanter, with a white feathery fan
taisie on backward tilt. Ostrich plumes
are also often used to decorate these
large soft hats, although the very smart
est ones are devoid of every vestige Of
trimming.
There are very drcssy hats, with Wide
brims and broad crowns, on which the
trimming is applied fatty on the brim
Different feathery fantasies are used in
this way, also metallic laces and flowers,
and sometimes folds Of ribbon. a par
ticularly fetching hat displayed brim
trimmed with folds of malines, which is
wonderfully becoming, throwing lustre
into the eyes and suggesting hidden
depths worth exploring.

CLIPPING THE TALE or ORATORY.

The idea of the Business Mems Club in hay-
ing before it to make Grafton the respective
candidates for the Administrative Board is ex-
cellent in many ways
In the first place it puts upon each candi-
date the reasonable obligation of explaining
to a body of intelligent and civically interested
men why he thinks he has a right to be can
didate, and what his general purpose u
member of the board will be If he is elected.
So much the club has right to know and
right to ask of the candidates It's action
in preparing forum in which the aspirants
may be heard also gives the people of the city,
through the press. the opportunity of listening
to the confessions OF faith of those who claim
special qualifications for entering their ser
vice
In addition, since ii sto be supposed that
rule that limits the speech making to ten min
utes is admirable in itself and should prove
to be valuable training for those OF the candi-
dates who are finally elected to office.
This is the day of the curse of much speak
ing and more writing Nobody seems to be
able to get along very far without using up
ten TO forty thousand words in the process.
TWO great political conventions and one small
