wide. the underskirt IS so long that 1t
sweeps the floor all round and merges
indefinitely with the long flowing train
Of the velvet robe.
At the left Of front long tassel Of
rhinestones and pearls garnishes the
slightly raised velvet drapery.
Three smaller kindred tassels depend
from the rhinestone and pearl banding
which, fashioned into sn elaborate
semi-girdle, crosses the front Of the
waist. At the left side this girdle
drops far toward that hip and holds in
the fulness Of the velvet, which, ex-
tended over the shoulder and upper
arm, forms an elbow sleeve and one
half Of the bodice. Its remaining half,
OF silver lace, is draped to form both
sleeve and half cape. Not only does
this novel arrangement Of the lace at
the back obliterate that portion OF the
waist, but It produces long lines from
shoulders TO hips.
Black Satin Evening Gown Enlivened.
To start the winter season without
black satin evening gown would seem
to be the acme Of folly TO the woman
whose engagement book seldom shows
a vacant dinner hour date. Yet the
black gown OF this season Is far from
being as sombre as its name seems to
nronnise. for much in the form Of pearl
and rhinestone furnishings is done TO
enliven II. Notably sparkling is
model whose skirt and train only are
Of black satin.
The remainder OF the gown consists
Of a knee-deep tunic OF psilletted tulle.
That also is black, but it is imposed
upon a white satin bodice, which at
front and sides is extended far below
the knees. Ten strands Of rhinestone
beads in double groups cross the sides
Of the tunic and hold in its fulness
below both hips. They run under the
edges Of square train Of satin, whose
shape is defined by double cording.
This train is attached to the waist and,
because rather wide, might stand out
too prominently were it not held down
az either side as far as the knees by
rhinestone strings and motifs.
Triple rhinestone strands outline the
bodice's fronts, which are rolled back
from shoulders 10 waist over the white
satin foundation, whose decolletage is
boldly defined with n broad band OF
black satin. That decolletsge is fur
Their filed in by strip Of lace rufiiing
which. forming high-rolling collar
across the back OF the neck, is low
crossed NJ front, and az the waist line
runs under band OF folded black
satin, fastening beneath q velvet rose
Of heroic proportions.

DANCE TO HELP
Jour OWN POOR"
Women Organize Committee sor
Fete to Raise Funds and
Relieve Needy. '.-

Six New York women, we'll known in
society for their philsnthropie work,
have organized a committee which, on
the night Of January %, will give =
supper dance at the Hotel Biltmore
"for our own poor" The proceeds will
be given to the impoverished Of this
city.
Up TO a week ago these women were
so interested in the sufferers OF the
European war that, they frankly admit,
their attention was not attracted 70 the
thousands out Of employment and
starving at home until the facts were
made known through news stories and
editorials published in the newspapers.
The committee first got in touch with
Cornelius ~ Bliss, jr., president OF the
Society for Improving the Condition OF
the Poor. with the result that the soci-
,ety will take over the funds and apply
them promptly where they will do the
most good. Not only is Mr.. Bliss inter.
ested in the Ball for Our Own Poot,'
but so. also, is r. Fulton Cutting, the
president, Mrs. Bliss and Mrs. Gut
ting. All have volunteered their SER
vices.
A list of patrons and pstronesses Is
now being compiled. Responses In TINS
respect have been exceptionally gener-
Gus, it apparently being realized that
something tangible must speedily be
done for the city's poor. -,
For once a charitable effort will
be accomplished with few overhead
charges. John Mel. Bowman, proprle-
tor of the Biltmore, mas given outright
the use of the hotels main ballroom
on the nineteenth floor. and other gifts
have been made which will shave the
expenses to the minimum.
The committee in charge Of the ar
rangements comprises Mrs. Algernon
sydney Sullivan, honorary chairman;
Mrs Ira Barrows, executive chairman;
Mrs. Allen Townsend, Mrs. Thomas I.
Gaunt. secretary; Mrs. Lindsey Tappin
and Mrs. VI. A. Thsckars, IT,, treasurer.

rELEN and Martin had to be re-
I'll proved several times in tho
- - course Of the meal. This was
very notifying, since there was com
pany al the table. Martin was teasing
Helen in a very exasperating under
tone. Mother suggested 20 Helen that
she treat her brother with silent con-
tempt." This advice seemed to be ef-
fectjve. and things were quiet for
while Presently, however, Martin
chirped up: "Mother, she is treating
me with silent contempt over the table
but she Is kicking me under the table.
For some reason that has not yet
been made perfectly clear the conduct
Of Helen, above and below the table
seems TO be characteristic Of girls OF
nearly all ages. This does not mean
that boys would never resort to sucn
tactics, nor that ell girls do. But in
general girls do that sort OF thing more
that boys.
When boys have a difference they
seem TO be unhappy until the matter is
settled definitely one way or the other.
They will take TO fists as the simplest
and most direct method for settling
differences. Gradually, when they have
the opportunity, they learn TO use
other methods. The normal evolution
of a boy is from the savage who fights
with his fists,-yes, and feet and teeth
TOTO the statesman who fights with
diplomacy.
With a girl,it is different. Il is very
seldom that a girl is allowed to give
EXPRESSION to her impulses in the fight
ing line-thst is, where parents and
teachers and governesses are always
on the lookout 20 preserve the proprie-
ties. We think it is unlsdylike for
little girl TO fight, If not positively
wicked. so we do not let her discharge
her emotions through those particular
channels. And what is the resultF

Lectures in Costume.
To make more vivid her representa-
ton of Jeanne dare in her lectures
Mmc. Guerin appears in costumes sim
liar to those worn by the inspired shep-
herdess- soldier 500 years ago. First
she appears rs the simple little der
gerette" who tended her fathers Jocks
on tho outskirts OF Domremy-sur-
Meuse. Then she pictures the child
listening 10 the voices that tell her:
at is you, Jeanne, whom Heaven has
chosen TO place King Charles upon his
throne again. You, yourself, shall take
arms and drive the English out OF
France"
Letter Nine. Guerin shows herself in
armor, portraying the exalted girl-war-
rior; then as she spun and prayed In
her prison at Rouen, ard finally in the
sackcloth gown worn by the Maid OF
Orleans when she was led to the stake.
Nine. Guerin studied old engravings
and searched through hundreds Of
books in her search for authentic cos
tunes. The suit Of armor she wears
as the warrior Joan was made in France
500 years ago, and was probably worn
by a soldier in the Hundred Years
War.
81 am glad New York is to have
statue OF Jeanne dare" Nine. Guerin
said. Women now are beginning to
have her courage in obeying the voices
that come to them, the voices that are
unseen and unheard by others.
Voices Hover About Us, Too.
ADO I believe Jeanne dare really
heard voices7 Indeed, l do. There are
always voices lowering about US trying
TO be heard. trying to advise as and d.
rect US. But few Of US lead such pure,
simple lives as did Jeanne dare, and
that is why we do not hear them.
Then there are some who do. and who
are afraid Of ridicule and dare not let
the world know they have heard"
The statue OF Jeanne dare now be-
ing made for New York is the work OF
woman, Miss Anna Vaughn Hyatt. 1t

ed sword. She Is holding it up to her
God and praying for guidance.
Miss Hyatt's conception portrays
Jeanne dare from a spiritual rather
than from warlike point OF view.
Her sword is ready to smite, but her
face is appraised as IL seeking guidance
from the voices. The details Of the
srmor are strikingly correct. They tell
ME that the stones which form the base
were brought from the prison In Rouen

Adopt Sly, Underhand Methods.

But you must not consider this plea
for the encouragement of militancy
among girls. No child needs TO be en-
couraged to fight. The most that any
Of them needs is an opportunity. The
point is that while boys are for the
most part permitted TO make use OF
what opportunities come their way, the
girls are almost universally suppressed
to the point of appearing Indifferent
cover the table"-but nature will have
her way, and so they adopt sly, pder-
hand methods under the table"
It Is fair to suppose, from what we
know OF the way the child's mind de-
velops, that il is only by indulging her
native impulses 10 fight as her brother
fights will the girl truly learn that the
hst Is not the best instrument for set
Ting differences. As il is, she learns
that the fist Is not tho accepted
weapon, but she does not learn a good,
direct way Of doing the work. II girls
are TO learn TO do their share Of work
In cooperation with their fellows, and
If they are TO learn to play fair In the
serious battles Of life, they must have
a chance 10 fight frankly and heartily
and above board.
