FRAGILITY OUT OF FASHION
Girls Of Today Seek Health and Take
the Right Way to Secure
the Blessing.

1t is no longer fashionable with the
fair sex to feign delicacy, nor are the
girls of the coming generation actual
ed by an insane desire to appear fra
gile and genteel at the expense of
health. The scores of buxom, bright
eyed young ladies one will meet in
any of our public thoroughfares any
afternoon is ample evidence Of the
truth of the assertion, says Woman's
Life. No longer do the fair ones seem
wan and pale to look upon, nor is their
style of locomotion suggestive of eff
fort; but, on the contrary, nearly all
seem strong and 1.-THE Of limb, and
with cheeks suffused with the ruddy
glow of health. Doctors generally
agree that there is far less sickness
among the sex than had formerly been
the case, and this could be attributed
solely to the glorious practice young
ladies have of late acquired of testing
their capabilities as pedestrians, and
in engaging in other forms of light
physical exercise. 1t Is to be hoped
that the good work will go on.

UMBRELLA CASE OF VALUE
Idea lie to Match the Costume, and
the Vogue ls Rapidly Becoming
Fashionable.

Because of the tremendous vosle
of velvets and the number of cos
tunes in that material that are being
made up, the lvelvet-encased umbrella
has come into being. Made on
slender but substantial frame, which
folds closely, and covered with silk
taffeta spread, the umbrella when
closed and encased appears like a
walking stick of velvet from ferrule
to top. A solid silver monogram
plate caps the handle, which, ten
inches down it's length, is ornamented
with double ring Of silver.
Decided colors are now the smart
thing in silk umbrellas. All the fash
ionable shades of purple, blue, mauve
and the new reds are in demand for
spreads, which are mounted upon
frames that press tightly about a
slender stick and give the convenience
the appearance of a silken cane. This
fashionable fad is to procure unique
handle for the umbrella that Is car
ried with the tailored walking suit,
and while some Of the effects are ar
tistic, others are actually bizarre.
Among the latter are the cat, parrot
and monkey heads in natural colors
with jewels for eyes. In the former
class are all manner Of beautifully
carved handles of rare woods and
ivory, and when money is not an OBJ
ject, of jade, amber, rock crystal or
solid silver and gold.

Psychology and Clothes.

I have a little friend who disliked
to wash dishes; so for her birthday l
made her two aprons from two yards
of pink gingham. l cut them in one
piece, with straps which cross in the
back and button in the shoulders. The
edges are trimmed with pink finished
braid. 1 made a pocket in each
apron, with her initial embroidered
in white. She was so pleased that her
mother has no trouble getting her to
help with the dishes and dusting.-

Muffs Are Larger.

The muffs are larger than ever,
says Harper's Bazaar. Quite soft and
rather fiat. Some have the paws
and tails as trimming, as they had
last year, while quite as many have
no hanging trimmings. Most of the
fur collars are worn with one end
thrown over the left shoulder. For
those who can wear that style there
are standing neck bands of fur with
ruches of tulle above and below, the
whole fastening at the left side with
a big satin ribbon bow

Fur for Everything.

Fur goes everywhere. 1t trims tie
chiffon evening frock and appears suit
ably enough on the tailor made, while
1t is also in evidence in connection
with silks and soft satins. Skunk is
the fur which is just now lifted to the
highest pinnacle Of favor, and one
sees it on all sides. With the fash
ionable mole gray suit it could hardly
be excelled, it's deep, dark brown tint
having an admirable effect against
the gray.

Creme Paper Gifts.

For those who cannot afford to ex-
pend very much money on materials
there is nothing more satisfactory
for fancy work than the making of
objects of braided crepe paper. This
material costs but few cents, unless
ribbons and silk or satin are used in
combination with the paper. The
work is of the utmost simplicity al
though the finished product appears
to be an imposing piece of work. One
does not realize just how easy 1t is
to fashion these crepe paper things
until one has started out to do the
work, and has the materials In the
hands..-IIRrper'a Bazaar.

Some very handsome hats are
trimmed with long boas Of ostrich.
One end falls from the hat at the left
back and is thrown around the neck.
A tiny bow, or a little nose-gay or
jeweled pin fastens the end to the
shoulder.
Nearly all ruffs are fastened with
loops and ends Of velvet ribbon. Some
times these are long and heavy but
this Is not usual. Short smart bows
are just as good. Narrow velvet rib
bons in rosettes and many falling
ends, or narrow satin ribbon Of good
quality make equally effective finish
ings, all depending on the taste Of the
wearer.
