present is an interesting

TIME present is an interesting
season in matters pertaining
to dress even while we are
laboring under some few disadvant-
ages, for we are making great many
new departures, we are learning a
great many wholesome truths and We
are altogether facing new condition
The latest news from Paris assures us
that the business of the city is as
nearly normal as is possible under the
conditions, that there is every effort
being made to offset the inevitable
strain. 1t would be we'll if we on this
side of the sea would follow the same
example and remember all that there
is to encourage and all that there is
that is good.
We are hearing great deal of cotton
manufactures and the exploitation
of cotton is being discussed in many
ways. While it may be some time
before our factories can turn out few
kinds of materials, there are now upon
the market exceedingly dainty and ex-
ceedingIy beautiful ones that can be
utilized for many seasonable costumes.
1t really would not require any self
denial whatsoever to clothe oneself in
cotton for many occasions and we all
know once the demand is created, the
supply will be on hand.
There is being planned an exhibition
of American fashions and American
designed garments, too, and already
we hear of the most wonderful silks
that are manufactured under the stars
and stripes and so many materials Of
SO many sorts that there seems little
cause to cavil. Perhaps if We were shut
up within our own boundaries for a
little time, it might result in much
good but, at this time, there is suf-
fcient intercourse to bring us sug-
gestions from across the sea and, for
this present season at least, we are
sufficiently familiar with the general
tendency to need no further impetus.
As might have been foretold, the
circular tunic has dropped to the
circular skirt and the plated tunic to
the plated skirt but that statement in
no way interferes with the fact that
tunics over narrow skirts remain a
favorite style. They are generally be-
coming, they are admired by the
contingent as we'll as by
ourselves and they combine many

HINTS for the HOME NEEDLE. WOMAN
How to Embroider Pin Cushion

The scallops are to be padded and
button-holed, the body of the butterfly
is to be worked solidly, the centers
of the wings in punched work and the
outer edges are to be outlined, couched
or worked solidly.
When outlining the stamped figures,
take short stitches, keeping the needle
toward the right, and work upward.
When making the punched work for
the background, which is stamped in
rows Of small dots, use an embroidery
frame or hoop and thrcc-sided needle
with large eye. Tic the thread in the
needles eye, pass it through two dots
and tie on the wrong side

LACE AND FUR ARE CONSPICUOUS
IN EVENING GOWNS

IT is doubtful if we ever have known
season that presented richer or
more sumptuous materials de-
signed for evening wear. There are
the most wonderfully beautiful bro
caded silks, both all silk and those
showing metal threads. Plain silks,
satins and velvets are to be found
in fascinating qualities and colors and
lace of every known sort is profusely
used while fur trimming makes
really important feature. For the
dance, the short skirt is of course
necessity but for the opera and dinner,
the skirt with a narrow train is an
interesting one and draperes are found
in the most attractive and graceful
form. These two gowns are fairly
typical.
The one on, the right is made with
apron drapery that is caught up at the
back in Topped effect and with
bodice that is one of the very newest
and prettiest of the season. 1t sug-
gcsts the basque idea in the fact that
1t extends over the skirt and it includes
the most gracefully draped sleeves and
the Vshaped neck that marks the
latest models. The brocadcd silk
illustrated is one of the new ones with
metal threads which in spite of that
fact is as soft and easy to drape as
Charmeuse satin itself.

things to assure their favor. They
have grown longer until we see varying
lengths from the tunic that shows only
an inch or two of the skirt to the COM
paratively short one. To be smart,
however, there must be fare and the
fare grows more and more general.
Not infrequently, both the 1ared and
the straight effect are obtained in an
evening costume by using transparent
material over heavier one and there
is altogether most wonderful variety
to be found even in the one idea.
Exploited today, for example, is a
dancing gown of white satin and white
silk tulle. The satin makes rather
close and very prettily draped skirt,
the folds Of which are held at the sides
by punches of artificial flowers. The
tunic is Of the net, very full wired at
the lower edge and finished with a
band of silver braid with a fringe OF
white ostrich feathers below. As a
matter of course, the close under skirt
is as clearly visible as if the tunic were
not used yet there is the fared effect
in the contour. The tunic, by the way.
is about two inches shorter than the
skirt.
The fringe of ostrich besides empha-
sizing the fare of the tunic goes to
show one of the many uses to which
feathers Of the sort are being put. We
started out with season promising
much fur trimming. Undoubtedly
great deal will be used but feathers
are being substituted in many in
stances and the ostrich is convertedinto
trimmings of great many beautiful
sorts.
All sorts of furs are fashionable but
the beaver is having great vogue. All
the bear, the monkey, all long-haired
iurs are being used much after the
manner of fringe aud the fitch con-
tinues the vogue of last season. Since
with fur trimmed coats, the fur collar
is not necessity, the fashion becomes,
in sense, an economy, and many Of
the newest models show simple chokers
and sleeve bands Of the fur. The high
collar is rapidly gaining vogue and
makes somewhat interesting feature
of winter fashions. That it will not be
exclusive in this climate is foregone
conclusion. The temperature is vari-
able. We need greater warmth one
day than another. The coat that is

A design for cmbroidering a pin
cushion cover, for cushion five inches
wide by fifteen inches long.
Upper and under portions are given,
the under portion with scallops, eye
lets and Sits only. The two are de-
signed to be laced together through
he Sits.

On the third figure, there is shown
a costume of broadcloth with fur trim
ming and velvet revers. The materials
are exceedingly handsome and exceed
ingly smart and the lines are the best
obtainable. The long open tunic with
its cutaway edges is eminentIy graceful
and it flares in most attractive man
ner while the fur serves to emphasize
that feature. Nothing more fashion
able and nothing handsomer than
broadcloth could be suggested for
such costume but there is no one
model that can not be varied again
and again and this suit can be made of
velvet, of corduroy, of one OF the new
zibeline or poplin suitings or it could
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1914-11-05

be made with coat and tunic of one
material over skirt of another. In
place OF the fur could be used one OF,
the handsome fur cloths, for fur cloths
were never so beautiful, never so rich
in effect and they are being employed
by the best tailors in Just such ways.
The comfort Of the separate coat
that can be slipped on over complete
gown is not to be disputed. There are
two shown here that are exceedingly
smart and handsome and available for
many uses. The long coat that is
loose and ample and buttoned up
closely at the neck seems especially
designed for motoring and occasions OF
the kind. Here it is made from one OF
the new velvet finished cloths showing
slight striped effect and the collar
and cuffs are Of fox fur.

The second costume combines one
of the new satin crepes with lace and
the skirt is made with an apron
drapery that allows very charming
and attractive use of the artificial
flowers that are so we'll liked for trim
ming. In the small view, this same
gown is shown with short skirt and
long sleeves. Treated in that way, it
Gamble utilized for the afternoon dance
and made of lace, OF chiffon, of net or
of any material that is soft and be-
coming. Silk tulle with an edge of
fur makes a handsome effect and is
fashionable. The girdle that swathes
the figure can be either of the same
material or of different one. Velvet
on satin would, for example, be hand
some or, if liked, any one of the rib
bons that are made for the purpose can
be substituted for the silk. Long
sleeves of thin, transparent material
with low or half-low necks are smart
and the frills that fall over the hands
make becoming finish. If something
heavier than the satin is wanted, the
over-blouse, train and
girdle could be made
of chiffon velvet with
the skirt of satin and =
the drapery, sleeves
and trimming of lace
Just as shown here.

0O0 he testified. Despite the fact that
the exemption was included in the bill
he demanded $4,000 as contignent
fee from President Bowles but thought
| the reason he was not paid was be-
cause the bill did not 20 through in
/ stch a form that the Fore River com
/ pany was to build some ships to which
the law would be applicable. Denight
promised to produce his contract with
