AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

So far as the silhouette is concern
ed, last years style might just as well
have been turned upside down, to give
the present reversed appearance. The
resemblance then was likened to the
letter V. and now to the letter A, for
scant waists and full skirts have re-
placed full waists and scant skirts. We
are supposed to accept such a radical
change merely as one of la belle
Modes little indiosyncrasies. but it is
not always easy to forgive her inscrut-
able ways, especially when we had
planned to use last years (perfectly
good) suit second season.
The suit of the sketch is typical of
prevailing styles and a most attractive
example, as well.
Putty -colored ratine is pleasingly
combined with beaver fur. with muff
and hat to match. A rather short
wasted jacket is bloused into pep
lum of the fur which buttons in front
with two large buttons. The jacket is
laid in two box folds down the front,

Cookies.

One cup of butter, two cups of sugar,
three eggs, half teaspoonful of bak-
ing powder. one even teaspoonful of
nutmeg, half teaspoonful of cloves
and flour for soft dough. Begin with
two cupfuls and add carefully that you
may not make them too stiff. Cream
butter and sugar, add yolks of eggs,
spice, one cupful of flour with baking
powder. the whipped whites and the
rest of the flour. Roll into sheet a
quarter of an inch thick. cut into
rounds and bake in good oven.
These cookies ought to be of the soft
variety if you keep them wrapped in a
cloth in a tin box and will not let them
dry out.

lustrous new ribbed silk, may be used
in combination with any of the other
three. Cut out the old sleeves and
set in new ones of the contrasting silk.
Make. also, wide girdle and below it
pointed basque fronts of the new silk.
The last years waist has probably a
surpliced, crossed front that opens in
a deep V, whether or not there is
flare collar at the back. Rip off the
collar and edge neck and fronts with
a straight, folded overland, exactly
as you would finish the neck and fronts
of kimono. This finish is used on
some of the smartest blouses now and
to make. A fastener at the bust line
should hold the fronts trinity, and
another fastener will hold the Tapped
girdlc.

Value of Witch Hazel.

Witch hazel is one of the best astrin-
gents to keep on the toilet table.
Cloths wet in hot witch hazel and
placed over the nose will reduce the
pores materially. Care should be tax
en- after using 1t to cool the face al
ways before going into the air.
One of the best lotions to correct
coarse pores and excessive oiliness of
the skin is' the following:
One and one-half ounces of witch
hazel. one-half ounce of tincture OF
benzoin. one ounce spirits of wine and
five ounces of orange flower water
Put the tiEcture of benzoin into ar
eight-ounc bottle with the spirits OF
wine. add the other ingredients, pre-
viously mixed, and shake slightly
Apply this wash with a sponge night
and morning.

What the Shops Offer.
The best shops here are offering
these tunics in colors that are more
suggestive of Egypt than of Greece. OF
Bagdad than of Athens. but this Will
probably appeal to the color-mad wom-
an.
There are black ones with scrolls of
sapphire jet; there are geranium red

are sapphire blue ones with silver

sake blue ones with white and silver

Tunics in Tulle Are Popular.

! One can buy these tunics made of
tulle a bit more easily than one can
buy them in chiffon. because there are
certain garments that the wholesaler
picks up and quickly puts on the mar
ket at a moderate price. This Grecian
chemise is one and the straight cuirass
waist of black velvet without sleeves,
that fastens down the front, is another
Both these garments are intended for
slip-ons. The tunic is more expensive
than the waist for the reason that
there is more of it, and it is usually
ornamented in lavish way with gold
or silver embroidery. Sometimes it has
the belt applied on the outside; again
there is a separate belt to be worn on
the plain separate frock beneath.
The sketch shows it with the belt
beneath, but the majority of young
women who have enthusiastically
adopted this garment find it has more
dignity, if less verify, with the belt
on the outside, slightly held in to the
figure.
The tunic in the sketch is of white
chiffon, the upper edge finished with
scroll embroidery done in thin gold
threads. The decolletage is trying. but
it is fashionable. and it looks as though
it will be generally adopted before the
spring is here. 1t demands regular
features and tn short uptilted chin.

Special Correspondence of The star.
| NEW YORK, November 10.-When a
short chemiselike garment of trans
parent fabric was worn at the opera
in Paris last spring-that gay Paris
that now is clothed in black and re-
verted to the sadness and desolat'on of
1s70-the onlookers thought that moth
ing so Grecian would be acceptab Bile
among the majority of women.
This opinion seemed to be based on
fact all through the summer, for even
Paris did not take up with the gar
ment to any extent at its autumn OPEN
ings, and now America has turned to
the fashion with avidity, and the shops
are selling these garments in all col
ors and prices, ready to slip on over
simple frock of plain Satin.
Possibly Grecian tunic would be a
| better name than chemiSe, but the lat
| ter is more descriptive. 1t conveys more
readily to woman's mind just the
kind of garment that is worn, and
saves her the trouble of reading up on
classic literature.
Some of the smartest importing
houses use these coverings on one
piece frocks of elaborate design that
go under long full coats of cloth, vel
vet or fur: but it is probable that the
fact that shops sell them ready to
wear, on the counters, may have a deter
rent effect on their use by the i'm
porters. The average woman will bene-
fit thereby.

pacity from January s, 1876, u no
vember IS of thessame year. Major
Woodruff was owner of the Gazette
then. Judge Coffins editorials dur
ing that periad, when a presidential
election was held, were considered
among the best offered by news
papers of the South.
Previous to the time he was editor
of the Gazette Judge Coffin had edit
ed and published a weekly news
paper at Pocahontas. During that
time he wrote and published an ac
count of the "Brooks-Baxtel war;" in
which his influence was felt for the

ATTORNEYS WRANGI,E

Several hundred people, many of
them ladies', representing the W. G..

Monday afternoon to hear the argu-
meats for and against the liouor
petition, which was taken up by
Judge c. NJ. Philpot at that time.
The entire afternoon was spent by
the attorneys in sparring, Attorneys
W. b. Sorrells and J NJ. Shaw, for
the remonstrants, taking advantage
OF every opportunity to leagthen the
session, and Judge W D. Jones, at
torney for the saloon men, meeting
every proposition of the Prohibition
lists with evidence that was invariab-
~ sustained by rulings of the county
Judge. The session ended at 5
o'clock, after Judge Philpot had rul-
ed that the petitions We're published
legally and after he had previously
stated that he would not delay the
hearing or stand back on that tech
nicality."
A committee of ladies was station
ed at the court room door ana plnn-
ed white ribons ON all who would
permit them to do so. There were
also a number of spectators VINO
signed for saloons present and dur
ing the session the ladies remained

The question was raised as to
what constituted all "adult inhabit-
ant Attorney Sorrells introducing
the issue, which was argued briefly
by counsel on both sides and was
finally dropped until later in the
proceedings. County Clerk c. M.
Nchol was put on the stand by the
petitioners, and testified that at the
last general election Jefferson coun-
ty voted 3,173 for licensed saloons
and 1926 against.
Wanted to Dismiss Petition
Attorney Sorrells then filed
the petition on the grounds that it
had not been legally published.
Judge Philpot overruled this motion
or demurrer" as the attorney eX-
pressed it, AID the petitioners called
City Engineer Frank F. Allen to the
stand to testify regarding the white
adult population of Pine Bluff. While
he was testifying Attorney Sorrells
raised the question as to petition
being an exact copy of the original.
1t required the evidence of the
publisher AID proof readers of the
plant where the petition was printed
to convince the attorneys that it
was an exact reproduction OF the
petition.
Judge Philpot cautioned the spec
tators against any demonstration
and declared that it would not be
permitted.

Jerome viii Appeal

New York, Jan. 12.-William 7.
Jerome in an interview today on the
subject of the possible release OF
Harry K. Thaw on bail declared that
the only question before the 1ederaf
Judge, is whether or not Gov. Felker,
of New Hampshire acted illegally in
granting his extradition. Mr..
Jerome stated that there will surely
be an appeal to the United States
Supreme Court by either side when
the decision is rendered.
