Lace Corset Covers.

wv ONDERS can be done with valen-
w ciennes lace from two to five inches
wide, and one of the most satisfactory
wonders is the fashioning of the new
corset covers for wear under sheer
waists. 1t is a simple task to put the
lace together; three rows of the wider
lace will be sufficient for the depth
of the garment. and straps of the two
inch lace will serve to hold it over
the shoulders. If preferred. a ribbon
in some dainty shade may be used to
finish the underwaist across the top,
and in place of the bands Of lace over
the shoulders

stage of the Japanese gown fashion
there should be so much gossip about it
ana even an argument as to who created
IT, rfemet or Cabot. 1t is true that Cal
lot mad many gowns last August at the
dressmakers openings that had the high
pack and the low front but thew slg-
gested nothing Japanese [ remember

, from all the Americans who were there
ana were looking for something new.
There must have been nearly a dozen
| gowns shown that first day that were
oeiilltely japanese and We're modified
from Japanese prints. The long skirt,
| the gay embroidered sash. the conspic-
uous Japanese rolling collar-all were
| featured. and the mannequins postured
d la Japanese. They were pictures from
| fan land.
| Wen. it took two seasons-winter and
| spring-to bring this japanese idea to a
settled fact. but Mr.. Winter the designer
for the house of Prenet, kept at it every
month. and at the June races in Paris
! he was still showing the same kind Of
clothes.
over here the idea is not yet popu-
larized. The fashionably dressed women
know the sash. the sleeve and tee collar
Very well. and some of them are going
d step further by having the collar as
we'll as the hem on their skirts padded
and half rolled to he even more faithful
to the or ginal
This collar is about two inches wide,
and is laid on the edge of the Japanese
bodice, which is high at the back and
crosses Surpiice fashion at the bust
There are many ways of making such Il
collar and getting the Japanese effect,
and Premet's designer seems to have
found all of them.

that pervadeS fashion this season.
If YOU want to know how to achieve it
first get hold of kimono and see the

Because of this desire for a neck that
is high at back and low in front there
has come about a new fiat fichu made of
linen that reaches to the shoulders and
is outlined at the inside by knife pleat-
ed frill that stands up against the neck.
There is nothing unusual about a jacket
of gayly coored brocade over white or
! black satin skirt. but the combination is
interesting and worthy of comment when
it occurs in summer in Paris, and after
every one over there kept saying that
brocades were ended and fashion was
tired of them. yet here they appear In
most fashionable manner.
Those worn at the races were quite
brilliant indeed; they glowed with color.

The present acceptable fashion is to
mount these lace gowns over pale pink
satin or chiffon taffeta, which is quite
supple, and add flesh colored stockings
with black satin cothurnes, or Roman
laced boots, which are quietly rivaling
slippers.
Those who do not like them. or rather
who like their comfort but are fearful
of being eccentric by wearing thSm, use
the high heeled satin slipper in black.
This is sometimes done in the evening
with a low lace gown. but it is too much
of a departure from the custom of not
wearing black slippers except with black
gowns to please the fastidious women.
So entirely satisfactory have gold and
silver cloth slippers become that they
are adopted as the one neutral kind of
footwear by all those who for reasons
economical and otherwise do not indulge
in slippers to match every evening gown.
The hosiery people have made decided
success of matching silk stockings to
these slippers. and heretofore no other
kind of stocking was tolerated, but this
spring il became the fashion to match
| the stocking to the skirt and then add
metal-cloth slippers. The effect Is much
better

blue and pale green. There are more vivid
tones, such Is car purple and grass
green, used. but one must have closet
full of clothes to go in for such marked
brilliancy.
Which reminds me that one can and
does really have many Innings for the
one white lace or net gown and then
choose girdles to match, which is null
tum In parvo style of dressing that is
never approved by the faStidious, but
which never ceases to find favor in the
minds of those economically turned. a
variety of trimmings for one hat and
many shades for one gown is a fashion

truth II only slumberS, for it springs into
action as soon as il Is given the least
excuse.

of dressing are those who look aghaSt
! if one suggests keeping to the same
color for their suits gowns They
answer If blue is suggested, why, l had
a blue gown last winter. And yet the
only real reason for dropping color is
because it is not becoming.
Some of the really best dressed women
in the world constantly wear one color
in a gown hat. they adopt one
perfume one syle of lingerie. one Kind
of handkerchief. In this manner they
acquire individuality and stamp their i'm
preston upon the public mind. 1t is the
women who buy every new fashion that
appears whose clothes are never remem-
bered more than a day.

that event Nevada would not have to 60 to California 0 any

Recent statistics compiled by the department of commerce at
Washington go TO show the rapidly enhancing value of the home
paper as a medium Of advertising. There was a time when the
big metropolitan journals were found in every household, but
that day is gone and the government investigators come to the
conclusion that the shrinkage of distribution at distant points
is the result OF better newspapers in the small towns and more
confidence in the mana cement of the domestic organs.

ed in Maumee River.

TOLEDO, Ohio, January 4.-Dr. Peter
Donnelly, one of the most prominent ply
sicians in Toledo, was drowned when his
automobile plunged into the Maumee river
from a wharf early this morning. A diver
found the car overturned, but failed to
bring the body to the surface.
DIR. Donnelly was suffering from high
fever yesterday, but continued his prac-
tioe against the advice of other doctors.
Last night he attended a meeting of the
Academy Of Medicine. and stopped with
companions at the Toledo Club until 1

from fever. he drove his car off the
wharf at high speed. He was the only
occupant of the machine. DR.. Donnelly
was city police surgeon.

Given More Authority.

Considerable additional authority was
given the superintendent of schools dur
ing the year just passed which will natu-
rally lessen the amount of work which
will be brought before the board. This
extra authority will also make the school
system more flexible, it has been pointed
out. This has been in keeping with the
policy of the present administration.
One of the principal works of the board
at its meetings has been the consideration
of changes in the corps of employees, but
this matter was recently placed largely at
the discretion of the superintendent when
the board passed a resolution that here
after the superintendent of schools is
hereby authorized and empowered for and
on behalf of the board of education to
make all necessary changes in the corps
of employees of the public schools of the
District of Columbia required between
the last regular meeting of the board in
any one month and the next succeeding
meeting of the board, and all such
changes SO made by the said superintend-
ent of schools are hereby approved by
the board of education"
