elderly lady's Wrap.

Supplementing the really warm
wrap which the elderly lady leaves in
he- limousine when entering the opera
house OF a theater, is a transparent af-
fair said to be for the purpose OF
warding off vagrant draughts from
her shoulders, but actually designed
to conceal her figure. This wrap, in
gold or silver-striped black or white
gauze, in plain malines or in chiffon.
is unlineC and easily made, for 1t is
simply a three-yard length OF the very
wide material now in general use.
At each end 1t is gathered into wrist
bands concealed by Fittings and about
the center of the back, all Of the full
ness is gathered into the edges OF a
four-inch diameter circle of the same
material. When worn, the gauze, ma.
lines or chiffon falls in soft folds
about the bust and hips and walls.
Will, it does not actually hide the
bare shoulders and arms.

GOOD, BETTER, BEST.

Total abstinence for town or coun-
~ is good from a business stand
point, bue there is something better
and thattis total abstinence for the
state. 1t must certainly be conceded
that a state whose taxable property
has increased in ten years S1,200,0O0.
000, or at the rate of $l20.000,000 a
year is amazingly prosperous. Kan
sas is the commonwealth CT which
this fact is stated, and Ex-Governor
Stubs is the man who vouches for
the figures. He further affirms that
Kansas contains more taxable prop
erty TO the citizen than New York OF
Massachusetts; that its farmers own
eighty.fve per cent. of the bank de
posits, and that these have increased
at the rate Of $10.0O0,G0O a year for
ten years; that il has many we'll
populated agricultural counties IN
which the jails and the poorhouses
have had no occupants for years.
All the other total abstinence states
can testify that prohibition brings
financial prosperity as well as homs
happiness and individual well being.

An essential point of the evening
mantle, and one which the daytime
coat shares, is the wrap effect which
brings with it plenty of possibilities
for the use of rare and lovely clasps
and ornaments.
The three-quarter length is advised
on account of its lightness Of weight
and because it does not tend to crush
a very fragile frock nor TO hide II

MOST ELABORATE
ARE THE COIFFURES
FOR The EVENING

If devotees of fashion follow the
! lead of costumers and the big de-
partment stores. they will wear such
gorgeous and conspicuous head
dresses as we have never seen. II
seems, since lovely woman may no
longer wear a hat at the theater, she
will take to couture ornaments quite
as picturesque and more unusual than
anything the milliners have ventured
to make In the last century. The
most gorgeous gold and silver laces,
jeweled bands, sweeping feathers and
exquisite flowers are brought into
requisition to make these headpieces
beautiful.
The opera season will reveal wheth-
er the more ambitious and imposing

pealed to the American great lady or
not. But even If she rejects them
they will have an influence upon the
modes of the winter in couture orna-
ment.
East India seems to have inspired
many of the elaborate and novel head
dresses which are being displayed in
anticipation of the opera season. But
no matter what their source, the new
head-dresses are dazzling. Many of
them are so large they might be
classed as crownless hats. 1t is not
likely that these extremes of size
and gorgeousness will be generally
worn even among the ultra fashion

who sought shelter in one of the vii
