= Queen Of the Carnival Costume in Ex-

phre Blue Satin. Unique Chain and
Tiara Of Sapphires and Diamonds.
By Lady Duff Gordon
("Lucile").
Paris, October

6O HERE Is every evidence
lW Ef that the day of the draped
r. cloth skirt has passed. The
taS present tendencies are ali
toward the plainly tailored cloth
skirts or those with bands or folds
Of the cloth itself. These bands must
be arranged 80 as to give the upin-
the-front effect that Is SO desirable
this season In fact, SO fashionable
has this effect become that the won
der now Is where the uplifting"
will end.
The straight front has therefore
become thing of the past. In some
Of the Paris shops they are selling
hair pads to use on the front Of these
gowns, just as generation ago the
hair hustle was used.
These HolbeIn costumes are ex'
tremely elegant. AS they are made
In velvet and satins. they are very
much draped. In designing ones
Winter wardrobe II must be borne
in mind that all the worsteds and
eloths must have plain lines but
that all dressy fabrics-velvets, sat
ins and chiffons-must be draped as
elaborately as possible.
As It fs impossible for one to go
far wrong In draping ones "dressy
costumes, 80 one goes not wrong IN
having all one's hats made small
Perhaps never before have the small
hats been so entrsncingly becoming
This becomingness ia due to the TACT
that they all have brims-slight. but
still brims Of some shape Inc
hrimless hat Is, think, very unpe-
coming TO all faces but those OF eS-
treme youth.
Besides being small, the hats OF
the moment are very sparseS
trimmed. Just a flower or two OF q
smart quill or military fancy set az
a chic angle on the brim is all that
fashion DEGREES.
The tendencies In blouses are all
toward the dinphanous. That is, the
fabrics used are Of the most ex'
quisite and filmy, but enough layers
must be used to avoid the really
vulgar displays that have shocked so
many people this season.
Fur of every kind will be ultra
smart. Hats are also trimmed with
fur. Never before have the signs
pointed so strongly TO fur season

THE QUARREL.

~ NE night when the house was

tie began to talk. THE blot
ter" said the ink, thinks II
is very wise. when really all 1t knows
1t gets from me-"
THAT 10 true" said the bottle. 'What
would It do If we did not first put on
paper the things he absorbs?'
you, my dear bottle" said the ink.
what do you have to do with the
things I put on paper? All you nave
to do Is to hold me: you do not nave
any knowledge Of the great thoughts
that 1 put down. You are taking great
liberties with ny friendship for you.'
Your friendship for me-" laughed
the bottle. Rather I should say my
friendship for you. Where would you
be II 1 did not hold you? Why. you
would run all over the desk and be-
come nothing but a big spot.
What are you two quarreling about?''
asked the pen. Neither Of you could do
a thing without me. I put down the
wise things on paper. The ink. Of
course, helps, but the bottle has moth
ing to do with 1t, and II 1t held paint
I could put down my thoughts just as
we'll with that. 1 am the one who Is
master here and the one to be looked
upon as being great"

Who holds you so you can put your
to know. Little use you would be II
were not here to guide you, and l should
think all of you could easily see that I
am the one of greatest Importance on
this desk"
What is all this talk about?" asked
the writing paper. "Who holds sway
here IL not 1? Little use all of you
would be II were not here. Who shows
up your thoughts and carries them out
into the world, l should like to know?
Why. 1 am older than any Of you and
Of much more importance. II il who
am to be looked upon as greatest among
you"
You are a conceited old thing" re-
piled the pen, and II could get at
you 1 would scratch you SO no one
would be able to read anything you had
put on your white surface. The very
idea of saying you are more important

Than we are, you mean, my dear.
said the penholder.
NO. l do not" said the pen. Il mean
that am greatest here"
Prove it. then" said the holder.
dropping the pen and rolling off the
desk on to the main floor.
The pen lay on its back. beside the
paper, who now saw that the pen was
unable to be of use as it was also,
and began to see that its surface would
be blank without the help OF the pen.

of the paper or the pen. I am sure I
could get on without either of you
You mean that we could do great
things" said the bottle. You will
always need me. my dear. you know,
to hold you; but We can get on with
out the paper or the pen."
Il mean nothing Of the Sort said
the ink: you add nothing to my great
ness, and I wish you would not speak
to me again."
We will see about that" said the
bottle, swapping with anger. and out
ran the ink all over the desk and spoil
ing the writing paper.
There they all lay, perfectly useless
the bottle broken, the Ink wasted. the
paper spoiled and the pen broken.
The blotter about which all the trou-
BILE began had said not word ana
quietly listened to all that was said.
and when 1t was ended absorbed all
the ink 1t could and lay with the others
useless.
When the maid came In the morning
to put the desk in order she picked up
the holder, threw away the old pen and
put in a new one. Then she threw
away the broken ink bottle and put
fresh ink in another bottle.
The paper was thrown into the waste
basket. and even the blotter. who had
nothing to do with all the quarrel, went
into the basket also.

their work and not wanted to be

important in its own way.
