Tango Gown Slit

Some of the new evening gowns are

have fully draped front to the skirt
with the back slit up to the knees, but
this has been a year of extraordinary
eccentricity in dress and before it's

things.
Dancers will not wear the odd little
pointed train which jerks so amusingly
after those who patronize it.
But the fron,s of dancing dresses will
be curved upward away from the feet.
The tunic is the great feature of all such
frocks. 1t may be in any material suit

beads, in diamond jeweling. \ lace tunic

closely fitting round the ankles. is wired

A Jaunt Through Toyland.

Toyland is fascinating place. full of
delightful surprises, especially when the
holiday season approaches. When You
wandered there last year there was no
wonderful toy elephant, such as was seen
In one of the Washington shops recently.
This trick elephant is on a box stand
that is covered with imitation marble,
and right In front of him is marble 90
trough-such as real elephants drink out
Of when ENGAGED, but the trough is filled
with soft soap instead of water, and
when the machinery concealed in the box
platform is wound up the elephant squats
on his launches, dips the end of his trunk
into the tank lifts his head and blows a
soap bubble. Who would ever have
thought of toy like that? And he keeps
on blowing soap bubbles of all sizes as
long as his inner workings keep busy.
Then there is the knitting doll. What
an example of industry she seems. as she
sits contentedly in her chair and knits
the leg of a real stocking-she scorns to
make feet In them-on four steel knitting
needles of the old-fashioned kind. She
looks like any other ordinary healthy
doll, but wind her up and you will see
how talented she is.
For the first time in our history since
We QeleateQ the br1I1SD mas a complete
English army landed on our shores.
Every regiment-and there are many-iS

In all sorts of poses, erect, marching,
aiming while lying flat on their stom-
achs, in semi-crouching position on
horseback and loft duty" And they have

filled with Sand-an6 GINNING and
cannon, While 1t hardly seems possible
there will be any bloodshed-our soldiers
are very friendly with them-indeed, they
occupy the same showcase-Or illness, as
they have Iron" constitutions, yet the
fact remains they took the precaution of
bringing the Red Cross corps along with
them.
Evidently there have been more acct
dents in dolldom than are reported in the
newspapers. else how is one to account
for the new ambulance automobile? And
1t is such complete and perfect affair
no hospital could have better. The tires
are heavily cushioned to save the injured
doll from getting jolted when the ambu-
lance is being rushed TO the hospital. The
inside Of the ambulance is enameled in
pure white. perfectly sanitary, and there
Is medicine and instrument shelf and
the most approved stretcher bed-the kind
that is supported by means of four swing
ing iron poles with holders through
which the handle ends of the stretcher
are thrush suspended from springs, so as
to further prevent the invalid from feel

veIvet-For and Against.

Velvet is one Of the most popular of
fabrics this season. Whether women like
it or not this is q fact. Most women do
like it and, for that matter. most men
do, too. To men it seems to stand for
prosperity and comfort. Most men will
call velvet-clad woman well dressed
And there is a richness about 1t that all
other fabrics lack.
There are some things against velvet,
however. It is not economical. 1T soon
wrinkles and becomes shiny and shabby
looking, and is really quite unsuited to
street wear by any woman who has to
count her clothes as she does her pennies
The woman who can be Dit lavish In
her dress allowance need not worry about
the fragility Of velvet 1t is warm and
it makes q thoroughly appropriate winter
street suit, especially when trimmed with
fur.
has become wrinkled or course, it can
not be pressed smooth, but it can be
smoothed over steam. Special little de-
vices to press over the spouts Of tea
kettles are sold for the purpose Of steam
ing velvet. These devices are pressed
over the spouts of the teakettle to con-
centrate the steam that comes from the
boiling water into thin line, through
two almost meeting sheets OF metal The
velvet is drawn back and forth, face up
ward. over this little line OF steam
and it should soon look fresh and bloom
ing. The water must be kept boiling
and the velvet must be evenly manipu-
lated.
The best way to remove dust from
velvet is with a piece of crepe, of rather
stiff quality. Simply brush the surface
Of the velvet back and forth with the
crepe. A velvet brush can also be used
to remove the dust from velvet. and one
is necessary for velvet coat But
heavier brush should never be used. a
piece of crepe wound about the finger is
the best thing for cleaning velvet hats.
