NEW VOGUE IN CANDLESTICKS
Those of Glass or Delicate Chinaware
Have Replaced the More Elaborate
Silver Ones.

The newest candlesticks are of iri-
descent glass, and their effect is
charmingly festive, though they are
not so dignified as the handsome. WELL
cared-for silver ones of tradition.
Sometimes these glass candlesticks
have shades of deeper tinted glass
also. Dresden candlesticks that have
long been treasured for their dainty
beauty alone are also being brought
out into action by some smart hos
tesses. Now that we no longer crowd
our tables with flowers these precious
things have a chance of being seen to
advantage. They are most effective
when no large tablecloth, but only
lace and linen mats are used on

pale pink shades, should be used with

HAVE WIDE CHOICE IN COATS
Not for Many Years Has There Been
Such a Large and Excellent Variety
from Which to Select.

Certain short draped coats of sup
pie fur rounding away in the front are
launched by extremists, who are push
ing the pegtop silhouette, but they are
by no means graceful even for the
slender woman, and are not likely to
be taken seriously by the women in
this country.
Some Russian coats of half length
or longer button up the left front,
close on the left shoulder, and have
high, close collars finished at the top
by a narrow band of contrasting fur.
A model of this type usually is loosely
belted or girdled across the back, If
not all around, and the model, while
good-looking if well worn, is becoming
only to the exceptional woman.
Many of the new fur coats are made
without collars for greater convenience
In the wearing of separate neck furs.
Innings are often of the handsome
brocades. and in some of the most
luxurious garments these Innings are
SO rich in themselves that they add
greatly to the cost of the coat.

Serious Mistake.

The arresting officer said he didn't
know just how the trouble had start
ed; but it seems, according to the tes-
timony offered in police court, that,
Mrs. McTigue hit Mr. McTigue over
the head with a rolling pin.
Mr. McTigue was staggered, but be-
ing game, he came up smiling and
knocked his wife against the ropes,
with half-arm hook.
After sparring for an opening, Mrs.
McTiguei got hold of the rolling pin
again, feinted with her left, and then
soaked her hubby over the right eye.
He was still dreaming when the po-
Eceman arrived.
After the testimony had been taken
and Mr.. McTigue had stepped down
from the stand a stranger arose and
said:
'If the court please, 1 would like to
ask for the dismissal of these people,
Their detention is interrupting my
business, and the policeman who made
the arrests deserves to be severely,
censured."
'I am unable to fathom your mean
ing, SIR" the judge returned.
"Then I will explain" said the
stranger. Il had secured the kineto-
scope privileges on this fight, and un-
less it can be resumed at once, I'll sue
the city for damages"
A public apology was then made by
the authorities, and the affair went on
to a finish without further Interrupt

court

Movies Make Tarqet,

An ingenious adaptation of moving
pictures to a shooting gallery has
been made by an Englishman. In this
gallery the marksmen have the salts
faction of shooting at rapidly moving
deer or other animals, and the sue-
cess of their shots is automatically re-
corded In the rear of the gallery is
metal screen painted white. The
pictures are thrown on this screen and
,the rapidly moving objects serve in
place of a target, and afford much
more excitement. BY means of an
electrical device in back of the screen
shot that strikes mortal spot on
the deer. or whatever the mark may
be, is instantly recorded in the front of
the gallery. The marks also show on
the white paint, and after these marks
become too numerous the screen can
be painted over again.

Most appropriate for this season OF

precedence in millinery. In the We
Iours, browns and similar fabrics

0ne-Sided Coiffure.

The hair is being dressed low. If
there is pompadour at all it is
brushed smoothly over pads that are
somewhat higher at one side than
the other. Often the hair is parted
and drawn back over the ears with
a cluster of curls escaping from under
the bands. Coils of hair arranged in

low at the back, and there are chignon
effects also, while sometimes one may

Ribbon Wreath

A lovely hair ornament for evening
is made by braiding loosely silk cord
of three different shades the neces-
sary length to crown the head, says a
writer in the Woman's Home Compan-
ion. Make two rosebuds of silk to
match the cord, and sew these to one
end of the cord. This ornament is
fastened together by a hook and eye.
A pretty color scheme is to have the
cords of pink, green and gold; the
rosebuds of pink-and-gold shaded rib
bon, with green velvet leaves as a
background for the roses.

New Dress Materials.

At the outset of every season
multitude of new materials for gowns
is thrust upon the market, and by
gradual elimination we soon know
which will prove becoming and make
up suitably. This years fashion is
particularly specializing in several
new materials which come in charm
ing display of colors and changeable
effects. The most fashionable mate
rial is the much-worn brocade, and it
is sought by dressmakers for every
conceivable type of gown from street
suits to the most elaborate evening
gowns and wraps.-Harper's Bazaar.
