and words fail to describe the rich
Z ness of the costume, despite its sim

meuse and 2 yards of 36-inch velvet
are required to reproduce the design,
and there are other materials in
which it will appear to just as good
advantage.

GOOD LINES ESSENTIAL INA FUR COAT

One reason why many women look
so hopelessly clumsy and shapeless In
their fur coats is because, owing TO
the initial expense Of such a garment
and the substantial cost OF altera-
ton work on fur, writes a contributor
of the Philadelphia Inquirer, any re-
fitting process is dispensed with, the
benighted wearer of the handsome
sealskin or caracu1 coat imagining
that in a garment Of such obviously
high price the niceties of line that
would be insisted upon in q cheaper
coat do not matter.
This is a fallacy, and the woman
who wants TO look her best always
realizes it and, If she can afford
to have a $50 fur coat and pay s.
more to have il adapted to her fig
ure. she contents herself with less
expensive wrap and sees to II that
the lines are correct.
There is no reason why any wom-
an should look more bulky or more
clumsy In sealslSln than in broadcloth.
provided the sealslin is beautifully

Fashion Notes

At this season it is always possible
to find in the good shops hats, blouses
and costumes which are excellent
copies of French models, at prices
which are not exorbitant.
Quite a tendency is noted in many
of the new models toward a princess
effect.
With the present style of dress,
chemisettes and collars are really q
necessity, and every woman appre-
ciates hand-embro'dered ones of sheer
batiste finished with picoting.
There are times when, even If one
has a fur coat. one does not wish 70
use It unless 1t Is Of the motor va
riety and of such furs as racoon or
muskrat, that are frankly for hard
use. Therefore it is well to have an
inexpensive, warm top-coat of which
great care need not be taken--Ex-
change.

" But not as. long as the robbers

say to Dorothy, You never heard a

"The Princess Ermentrude and

That's true, said Dorothy
"Norah, our cook, always hides in

Mary Elizabeth frowned at the
interruption.

heavy feet of the robbers up tn.

nurse shook her and whispered
fiercely, If you do they'll find us

princess crouched down, terrified,
quite forgetting that she was a
princess, and was s'posed to be
brave no matter what happened.

Ermentrude and the nurse shivered
with fear as they heard the robbers
clumping about everywhere. Pretty
soon some of them said, Perhaps
they both jumped over the parapet.

see if we can find their bodies.
They all talked minue and then
they went clumping down the

To Cook Cabbage in Half Hour

Have plenty of saIted boiling water
in which a teaspoonful of soda has
been dissolved. Plunge the cabbage
In, top downward; leave it uncovered
and let it boil until tender. That
will be from twenty minutes to halt
an hour.
Take it out into a colander; drain
we'll, put into a hot dish; add lots of
butter, some salt and pepper and

AT a Weekend Party

Dear Miss Doom:
1 wonder if you will help me IN
this predicament: 7 am a woman
who likes refinement. 1 had a com
mon school education, and have not
been out In society very much. Ny
work Up to this time has kept me
from it. Recently a lady Of refine
ment and wealth took q fancy to
me and expects soon to have me
spend a few days with her in her
home. Can you tell me how I
should dress for each meal and eve
ming? And also give table etiquette.
Any other advice win be appreci-
ated. 1 am in moderate circum-
stances. Hoping to see a reply
soon. and wishing you a merry
Christmas, BACKWARD.
If you possess instructive courtesy
and kindness you need not worry
about your department. An old
rhyme says that
"Politeness is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest
way"
Isn't that simple? Follow this
rule and your perplexities will fade
from your mind. An agreeable vis-
itor never appears Indifferent about
what is planned for her entertain
ment and tries to make herself
agreeable to every one in a quiet
way.
If your hostess knows that your
circumstances are moderate she
will not expect you to display 8
variety of costumes. A tailored
suit, a couple of tailored blouses
and one lace or silk blouse for dress
wear; an afternoon dress OF silk or
cloth, and a light evening gown
will be quite enough for a visit Of
a few days. You will need two
pairs of shoes. one for walking and
one for dress, and a pair of slippers
for wear with the evening gown.
take it for granted In
mentioning tailored suit
that you have one. II not,
long coat will be quite
correct for wear with the separate
skirt and blouses. Let your own
Judgment guide you as to acces-
sories and underwear.
