CHRISTMAS CANDLES.

Everywhere one turns there are bay
berry candles waiting for the holiday
season, to be sent to ones friends as
bringers of good luck.
So widespread has this custom be-
come within the last few years that
the making of bayberry candles is now
revived industry of considerable
magnitude. And yet not one woman
in a hundred who buys a candle to
present knows that 1t is a woman's
industry that she is patronizing, de-
veloped and pursued in the kitchens of
New England.
1t was the women Of bingham, that
quaint Massachusetts town, that first
brought down from their attlcs their
grandmothers' old candle molds and
began making the sweet-smelling
green candles for a few appreciative
people who wanted them to burn in
homes furnished in antiques
The women of charming old Deer
field, in the same state, shortly fol-
lowed suit, and then the housewives of
Cape Cod saw their opportunity, all
of them using the molds that had been
in the towns for generations.

These bayberry candles are of a

thusiasm to the trick of elaborate
gowning of a certain kind for the day

such an extent that many women do

ordinary as a cloth coat and skirt.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.

We are told that sleeveless evening
gowns are correct, but, needless to say,
that does not always make them be-
coming. It takes a really ornamental
set of arms and shoulders to carry such
a design WELL but there are various
ways of retaining the mode while soft

straps are very severe and trying for
more reasons than one.
First, there are the winglike trans
parent shoulder caps and draperies of

ELABORATE TRANSPARENT GOWNS.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.
i Corresrondence OF The Star.

Special Correspondence of The star.
NEW YORK, December 21.-The stage
Is not often credited with influencing
fashions in America, but I wondered the
other afternoon, at a matinee. if it was
showing the way to the kind of after
noon frockS that our women are wearing.
The play was French. and every one
knows that the French women wear the
most elaborate and transparent rocks IN
the afternoon: but later, at an English
play the same kind of clothes were en-
plotted for the afternoon hours, and the
impression was borne in upon one that
probably fashionable women were get
ting their ideas from the other side of the
footlights.
One might attribute the use of such
thin gowns in winter time to the fact
that women o. means use closed cars for
transportation, but the fashion seems TO
have spread far away from the rich
classes; 1t pervades all ranks of people
who are socially inclined
II used to be said of the south in other
days that its women put tulle yokeS
IN their ball gowns for o'clock teas; it
might be said of all women this season
that they leave out the yokes in the ball
gowns for any occasion within the house
after noon. In fact, j saw thin cloth
gown open nearly TO the waist, half
filled in with white tulle, worn at a
morning musical last week.

arm, leaving the shoulder bare, but be-
ing caught over the top of the arm
several inches below.
Or-as in the case of the sketch
a still simpler and daintier method Is
Iesorted to. where a pretty rose gar
land is used that fills the space more
advantageously than a mere strap. To
avoid scratching, the roses are caught
against a two-inch fold of satin, which
ties in a fiat bow on top of either
shoulder.

Catch No Colds.

There Is no danger of women catch
peitry is the fashion and the motor car
habit is epidemic even among those
who are not expected to have the price
of taxi in their pockets.
Whatever the reasons for this fashion
for afternoon dressing, the truth is that
women have taken to it quite readily.
Many OF them argue that it is the most
economical style of arranging cnes
wardrobe, because it allows the use o" the
same gown for wide variety of after
noon and evening entertainments
The uniformity in high temperatures
that prevails in the majority of Ameri-
can houses gives women a chance to
wear the thinnest of clothes with the
greatest amount of comfort; anything
heavy is intolerable. especially in
crowded rooms, and this was the rea-
son for the invention of the lace and
chiffon blouse an adjunct to the
afternoon coat suit.
TIE fashion for the one-piece frock
which came about two years ago, and
has reached its high-water mark now,
is undoubtedly the ruling force behind
the advent of an afternoon gown that
looks as If it should be kept for
dance. Strange to say, the high collar
has come in at just this moment, and
if it succeeds in it's attempt to be
reckoned as a fashion of the first class,
then 1t, and 1t alone, will mark the
point of difference between many of the
gowns for the afternoon and those for
the evening.

war Atfects Cooper ProduetiOn.

With the possible exception of the sill
yer industry, the copper industry will
probably feel the injurious effects of the
European war more seriously than any
other of the leading American metal in
dustries. During the last five years APP
proximately 80 per cent OF the copper
turned out by American refneries has
been exported, in large part TO the
countries now involved in the European
war, according TO the United States geo.
logical survey Some of this copper has
been imported for metallurgioal treat
ment, and the imports will probably be
somewhat restricted on account OF ship
ping conditions.
During these five years, however, do
nestle consumers have taken only about
90 TO 81 per cent of the copper produced
from mines within the United States,
50 il il evident that there must be
material curtailment OF production while
present conditions prevail. Considerable
copper is of course consumed in NUM-
tions of war and for other military pur
poses, but the constructive arts of peace
are far more favorable for the copper in
dustry than the destructive art of war.
American producers have already
greatly curtailed their production, and
it seems almost certain that the output
must be materially restricted for an in
definite period, dependent largely on the
European conditions.

Decision of the Pope That Should Be
Remembered.

! Much has been written of the personal
history of Plus X, and much is being
said of his policies as supreme pontiff OF
the Roman Catholic church. The story
| of his clash with the French government
and Of his campaign against modernism
| is already well-known. Far too little
dwelt on have been the sweet benefi-
eence of his nature. the human elements
in his makeup, the al-embracing scope
of his democratic sympathies. And now
that he is dead one fact unnoticed in
the long list Of his achievements needs
emphasis in a time like ths-the fact
that only few days ago he had TO re-
call to the Christian nations, which had
ignored or forgotten it, the essential doe
trine of their creed. For in the war
which FASTENED his death the pope saw
not only a going back to barbarism, but
also return to the age of tribal faiths.
No one could have recognized better than
he that whichever side was right, which
ever wrong, some armies were doomed
to defeat, others certain to come out
victorious. Yet they were one in their
confidence of divine favor, and the appeal
to Deity went UP from all. 1t was

services were held in Austria or litanies
were chanted in France; it was "Gott
NIT uns," whether prayers assembled in
England or banners were consecrated in
Russia. In the midst of this polytheism,
based on disunion, an opportunity came
to the pope. The Emperor Francis Jo-
seph telegraphed asking his blessing for
the Austrian army and navy. His Holt
ness replied that all the belligerents
were his children; hence, while fervently
praying for peace. he was unable TO in
woke Gods benediction or intercede for
the triumph of any particular nation.
In any future summing up of the life
of Plus Y. let it never be forgotten
that this sublime rebuke to the fighting
spirit came from the Vatican at Rome,
and that amid loud war by land and sea
it was left for the so-called opponent
of modernism" to proclaim the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of man.

The Horse Gains Ground.

There has been a lot of talk of late
about the number of automobiles in Yer
mont, but it ought to be said that the
horseless carriage, to use a good old
term, is not driving the horse out of
existence. According to report just
issued by the federal department of
agriculture, there are $4,000 horses on
Vermont farms and their value is placed
at 81 1852, 900, or about 1929 a head.
These figures mean that since 1910 the
number of horses has increased 5000,
while their average value has gone up
81 head. The Vermont horse is above
the average OF the country in value, for
all the horses in the United States are
put in at value of Sl09.32 apiece.-St
