to whom the prolonged restaurant
supper, with its lights, it's music, its
flowers, its atmosphere of luxury and
life, offers a substitute for the real
social triumphs for which she
yearns. And some, of the most costly
gowns are worn by such women.
A typical restaurant supper gown
of the more exclusive type-the
sort of gown one sees at the best
restaurants and cabaret shows-is IL
lustrated in the long sleeved model by
Beer. This gown is both elegant and
modest enough for a public appear
'ance among strangers. 1t is distin-
guished, yet it has coquetry all it's
own. The upper part is of white
charmeuse, a skirt drapery of black
satin meteor being caught up to the
waistlne under jeweled buttons at
back and front. while at the sides OF
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-12

the skirt the drapery drops below the
hip. The long sleeve of black Chan
tilly lace is set into the side-seam of
the bodice in a most interesting way
and under the transparent black lace
sleeve, a shorter sleeve of white net,
edged with rhinestones falls to the
elbow. A collar of the white satin
turns back over the shoulders and
between the collar points in front is
rather modest " draped across
with folds of white tulle sewed with
rhi stones. The white satin button
strap slippers have rhinestone buckles
and in the hair is a double fillet of
rhinestones with a smartly posed
white heron aigrette at one side.

and two deep red roses are caught
against the surp1ice-drawn folds of
the bodice of white chiffon over flesh
fair trimmed with shaded blue plumes
and buttoned boots of patent leather
with very high French heels are worn
under the long, dragging skirt.
Another splendid and scintillating
gown is shown in the model by Beer
which has a checked pattern of jet
and silver sequins on a net ground.
The net is completely covered with
the crusting of small black and sill
yer particles and the gorgeous effect
of the fabric may be imagined. 1t Is
as brilliant and as supple as coat
of mail, and clings to the figure over
a foundation gown of very thin, soft
satin. Part of this brilliant gown is
yelled by drapery of black Chantil-
ly lace, the draped lace folds being
caught up against the skirt with a
deep red rose; another red rose catch
ing together the lace which wells the
bodice. Within the decolletage are
folds of white tulle. This gown, with
its simple, chaste lines and it's gor-
geous fabric is wonderfully beautiful,

with a velvet train drapery over a

ery-a new red shade-is edged with
a fringe of red and black sequins
which drop over the white skirt yelled
with a tunic of red tulle. The red
and black sequins form fringe at
the edge of a pearl fringe on the

cially during the months when the
family live in the country. In town,
the afternoon tea is movable feast
and is likely to be partaken of at one
restaurant or another or at one of
the cosy tea rooms where one may
nav substantially for a simple cup
that cheers and toasted muffin as
large as a silver dollar.
For the serving of afternoon tea
in the home there are all manner OF
fascinating and dainty furnishings
and it is the pride of the hostess who
loves to entertain at this hospitable
hour. to have every item of her tea
equipment as perfect as care and
good taste can make it. The tea
wagon-as the tea table on wheels is
called in England. is particularly con-
yenient when tea is served at some
distance from the buffers pantry for

packed in 1.-The wagon and wheeled

and with no confusion at all. A tea
wagon with folding tabletop is Illus

table is a convenience for the woman
who lives in a small apartment. The

are by no means at discount
for evening wear, these days.
Many of the most beautiful toilettes
include a picture hat of lace and
ostrich plumes, or a chic little cap
model of velvet and fur. A typical
restaurant hat is pictured in the white
fur and feather model worn with a
dark velvet gown. This costume Is
of a type suitable for street wear
under a not too conspicuous evening
wrap, yet with the wrap removed, hat
and gown have the correct grand
toilette effect. The gown is of rich
green velvet with trimming of bronze
gilt beads and fringe. The arrange
ment of the handsome trimming is
admirably simple and the lines of the
costume are graceful and distin-
tinguished without being severe. The
squarely cut decolletage is a trifie
severe but the line is softened by al
most invisible folds of flesh tinted
tulle which lie against the neck-a
trick of Worth's which makes every
gown turned out by this couturier be-

In England everybody drinks after
noon tea and it is more than probable
that to 1.-THE half hour of relaxation
and warm nourishment, not to the
actual tea itself-are due the quieter
nerves and robuster physique of the
English people. From the occupants

duty of making the tea and seeing
that cups and plates are gathered to-

Protection For Bob-White.

1t will be thirteen years before it is
lawful to shoot the bob-white in Colo
RADIO, four years in Michigan, four in
New Mexico, five in New York and two
in Ohio. Florida, Maine, Nevada, North
Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota and
Utah have taken him completely off
the list of game birds. In most of the
eastern, western and northern states,
bob-whites cousins, partridge, pleas
ant, ruffed grouse, blue quail and the
imported species have been voted pro-
lection.
The tendency is to consider the bob.
white too valuable bird to be shot.
If legislators are feeling that way, how
much more so the farmers should feel.
The bob.white, as ground feeder, can
do little harm to growing crops while
he can and does, do tremendous
