Berlin PEOPLE TO SEE
OPERA HOUSE DESIGNS
Exhibition of Plans for Court
Structure Result of Fight
Against Secrecy.

BERLIN January To- 1913.
The exhibition of the plans and models
of the sixty-two schemes for the new
Berlin opera house that were sent in for
the competition is soon to be opened IN
the rooms al the -Anhalter railway sta
tin.
The announcement revives what has
been one of the most acute questions con-
corning the growth and esthetic I'M
provement of Berlin that the capital
city has been concerned with for several
wears. The citizens are anxious to see
what are the chances that Berlin may
have of possessing a really fine and eff
ficient opera house in place of the excel
lent. but too small and rather out-of
date building that now stands at the end
of Inter den Linden. and has been con-
demned by the court for several years
past. The eagerness is the greater as 1t
Is only as a result of decided campaign
against secrecy that the exhibition has
been authorized

some SMART BLCUSES

Blouses are simple and PRETTY
designed; the dropped-shoulder re
mains and the short sleeve is seen
nearly as often as the long one.
Yoke-effects with the body of the
blouse slightly fulled in to them are
smart. Often these yokes are OF fig
ured materials and the body plain
or vice versa; and then again, the
yoke is of one material and the low
er part of a contrasting stuff. which
gives pretty effect.
The woman who fashions her
cloth ng at home should stop and
consider the possibilities for the
home sewer in this combining of
materials. Perhaps there is a strip
of embro dered mousseline or chiiG

from an evening or afternoon GOWN,

The FASHIONABLE TUNlC

OF the making of tunics there is
indeed no end. But one must learn
TO re-adjust ones IDEAS of what con-
,titures a unic. In the latest fash
ion vocabulary a tunic may be a
pleated ruftle scarcely more than
twelve inches deep, set in at the
waist line; it may be of lace and
merely cover one hip; it may be of
Oh ffon, short i'll front and hanging
in deep points at the sides.
In fact, it may exist in whole or
in part. by elinging or outstanding,
be plain or full. be OF almost any
conceivable material, be horizontal.
perpendicular or bias There is but
one feature which is common to all
its manifestations. That is it must
be shorter in front than at the sides
or the back.
Earlier in the season tunic effects
were straight around. The line be-
tween these and the later creations

THE USE0F ABR0OM

Sweeping day has lost its terrors
for the woman who can afford TO buy
one, but many may be SO situated
that they are unable TO do either
and this class will probably endeav-
or to find out all the improvements
along the old methods of sweeping.
with a view to lessening their labors
says the Bronx News.
To begin with, a liberal quantity
of rags and busters should be on
hand, and if one takes a scrap has
ket and goes through each room
picking up scraps, waste matches,
bits of paper, and SO on. the rooms
will be less formidable when one
gets ready for the sweeping. No
matter il there is scrap basket
always use it.
The carpet sweeper is really the
best thing for carpets in general
way but of course they require a
more thorough sweeping occasional
ly. which must be done with a
broom.
Some persons think the sweep ne
will be more effective if force is
used upon the broom, so as to dig
into the carpet, but this is a mis-
take. The right way to hold a broom
is to keep the hand inclining a little
forward. and to sweep lightly rather
than heavily, because all the dust is
on the surface. To sweep hard
will send the dust into the pill
of the carpet.
There are many good articles up
on the market for keeping down the
dust when sweeping, but there is
nothing better than old newspapers
torn up, dampened and sprinkled
over the carpet. Tea leaves also
are good, but newspapers are al
ways on hand. Some housekeepers
use salt. This undoubtedly fresh
ems the carpet, but the salt is apt
to S nix in, and when damp weather
comes the salt gives" This caus-
es the carpet to rot. Better 60 ov-
er with a rag wrung from salt and
water than to sprinkle the salt. A
little ammonia and warm water
will also brighten the colors in the
carpet.
If the broom is dipped into hot
water and then we'll shaken before
sweeping this will help to keep down
the dust besides making the broom
last longer.
The general way of sweeping is to
begin at one end and sweep toward
the door, but the better plan is to
begin at one corner and then go
along the edges of the room, sweep

The BUTTONED SKIRT

Though buttons have been used
largely and often very irrelevantlH
on dress this season, they are quite
utilitarian on tweed and homespuH,
serge and cloth skirts which are Gu
so narrow that it would be a matter
of difficulty to get into them by pas
sing them over the head or draN III"
them up over the feet. BY the aid
of long row OF buttons and button
holes down one side the skirt is sim
ply managed. 1t is merely wrapped
round the figure and buttoned waet
on. Sometimes the lowest six or
eight buttons are left unfastened in
order to give comparative freedom
in walking.

SLEEVES AND
NECK FINISHES

Many OF the new sleeves for the
autumn are long and close fitting a
thu lower part of the arm. The wrist
edge : finished with ruffles of tullc.
usually two ru,fies separated by Il
black grograin or white satin rib
bon varying in width from half ali
inch to Two inches. The newest
sleeve Is cut in one with the va 5:
and Is very deep under the arm
rather ike the web sleeve OF five u
six years ago. SO far this style i
not as popular as the sleeve sewei
dresses the sleeve is sewed into All
ord nary armhole. while in many OF
the newest models there are differ
cnt versions OF the raglan sleeve.
The short sleeve is used in many
afternoon dresses and suit blouses.
The very deep kimono sleeve is
graceful in the new lightweight silk
and cloths that are being used fOI
afternoon dresses under draped
wraps OF heav cr silk or matelasse.
The kimono is decidedly the sleeve
OF the year.
Sleeves, in the plain tailored suits,
are always long small and with ne
tullness to the top,
So far as the neck finishes go the
open nechs harmonic beautifully

inspires dainty neckWear- plated
frills OF net wired to conform with
the outline OF the Medici collar ana
filmy neck ruffs that give a flower
like setting to any face.
The Japanese neck is another fash
ion that is in high favor. OF course
you are quite familiar with it and
have used it many times in kimon-
os. but this year YOU may use it IN
your dressy blouse and be very u
to date. You may even 30 a STEP
further, and pad the collar and roll
il if you like. Whether it must be
attributed to the creation of a Par,
isian costumier. or is merely due
TO the Japanese influence in dress
We are not so much interested in a.
the fact that 1t inspires new and
! becoming neck finishing.
With the open neck blouses it is
a pretty fancy to wear a narrow
| black and white striped ribbon,
which is becoming so eXceedingly
popular as to rival the neck chain.

FALL AND WINTER
WOOL FABRICS.

For fall and winter, soft velvety
wool fabrics on the order of velours,
plain and in cut stripes, duvetine,
peau de peche, etc. will be most in
vogue.
Eponge weaves in suiting and in
cloaking will be used, as they fit in
to the crepe demand and the vogue
for rough surfaces.
Manufacturers have increased both
the price and the color range for
eponges.

COMMERCIAL. CLUBS CAN
HELP FURNISH LABOR

Pierre, S. ID. -lmmigration Com
missioner Deets suggests that the
commercial clubs of the state could
go a long way toward settling the
farm labor problem in any particular
section OF the state, by the organiza-
ton OF labor agencies through their
secretaries. Amy inquiries OF such
secretaries TO the immigration depart
ment will be given all possible atten-
ton, and by a little cooperation of
the commercial clubs of the state, the
situation would be simplyfied. Last
year the commercial clubs of Water
town, Mitchell. and several other
towns OF the state conducted these
free labor agencies, and united effort
on the part of all the commercial
clubs would make the placing of men
easy in the v%icinities wheer they are
especially needed.
