HOLIDAY FETES.

Christmas festivities are no longer
confined to one day, and the woman
who is in even a mild social whiri will
find that she has seven days and nights
full of entertainments before her. The
first two or three days may go we'll
enough, but on the fourth day the
woman finds her feet begin to drag,
and on the fifth day she yawns when
her hostess is not looking. At the end
of the week she may be a physical
wreck. The question, therefore, is how
TO meet this tax upon her strength and
yet be able TO enjoy all the social
affairs of the holiday week.
One of the first of the general rules
is to eat sparingly and thus keep the
stomach in good condition. The woman
who accepts an invitation to q luncheon
and another to a dinner on one day
must eat only little of each dish
set before her else she will pay the
penalty of sick headache the next
morning.
The next rule of Importance is TO
relax at every possible moment during
the week. And 10 relax it is not nee
essary TO go to bed. when a high
strung woman Is rushed at times, She
Is apt to rush when il is not necessary.
10 not sit on the edge of a chair
ts II YOU had to jump at q moments
notice. DO NOT sit in the street car
with shoulders up and hands clasped
tightly, staring out OF the window for
fear of passing Your desired street cor
her- Lean back in the chair in a COM
portable position if only for three
minutes, and in the car let your hands
lie limp in your lap. and trust to luck
and the conductor to set YOU off at the
right corner. II you are home and have
been rushing about the house all morning
take OFF all your clothes and lie down.
Vat on your back. without any pillow
under your head for fifteen minutes Do
undress, because the new life that such
relaxation viii give you more than re-
pays for lost time
Warm baths will do much to help
sustain your strength ana stimulate tired
xcrves. Very good effects are derived
bN taking very hot bath, scrubbing
the flesh with a stiff brush to open the
pores, and then taking IA cold shower.
IT YOU have no shower in the house
flashing the body with cold water will
answer the purpose. This brings the
blood to the surface aud acts like
magic on the very tired woman.
And we must not forget the woman
who il SO tired that she longs for bed
frme to come. The hands of the clock
finally point to the longcd-for hour
but when she lies down she finds she
Is too tired to sleep To this woman
the writer says, drink warm milk A
cracker may be taken with il, if the
plain milk does not appeal to her but
the warm milk will draw the blood
from the head, and Very often in
duccs d sound, rcstfu1 sleep.

DARK GREEN A POPULAR COLOR.
BY ANNE R1TTENHousE.

NEW YORK, December 24.-Amons
the colors that women use to wear when
waists were well defined and bodfces but
toned in front was dark green, and the
fur they used to wear IN combination with
the color. was astrakhan. Both color and
peltry are here again.
We are barking back to so many fash
ions that were supposed to be dead for
ever that their rfrecrudescence becomes an
absorbing study. Ones mind goes back
to that vital saying of the elder Worth
that all fashions reflect the moral and
mental outlook that their exploitation
and their adoption is not mere chance: it
is the eternal revolving wheel of life
catching and holding the same cogs
There is something far more illuminat-
ing regarding fashion in belief like this
than in the one which is accepted on the
surface of things-that all change of
fashions is purely commercial. Ones in
terest Immediately becomes stronger and
more analytical. If fashions arc Il SYM
Dol of women en- masse. or of the trend of
the worlds moral and mental life; if they
reflect the depths and will become an in
tegral part Of the hours victory. then they
are worthy Of the attention of the student,
not only of the tradesmen.

FOR THE HOME NEEDLEWORKER

The motifs may be cut from cretonne,
silkoline- or any wash goods that of
fers good design for the. purpose.
This should be carefully done. and
then one may arrange the decorations
as fancy pleases. as. for instance,
rather heavy effects in the four cor
ners and light sprinkling throughout
the scarf. or a border could be worked
in all around inside the hem. Again.
the ends only may be decorated.
The method of applying is very sim
pie. The motifs being in place are
| ha sted down to the cloth. as ] said be-
fore. upon the wrong side. and then
hey are outlined upon the right sldc
with wash silks or cottonS carrying
cat the colors in the figure. Just ever
such Il little veining of the leaves or
petals with the silk will give all the
impression of the flowers being solid
embroidery. so if one has time this ad-
dition to the outline should be made.
Any one who will try this way of do
ing fancy embroidery will surely ne
delighted with the result.
Of course. other things besides bureau
scarfS may be made in this way. There
are pillow shams, nightdress cases,
handkerchief bags. dressing sacques,
sofa cushion covers, and even pm
cushions, all of which will readily lend
themselves to such decoration.
Those who can do crochet lace or
happen to have any can utilize II as a
, trimming to any of the smaller pieces
of household linen, as doilies. center
pieces, mats. sideboard and carving
cloths. etc. 1t can be used as an eds-
ing or insertion. After being seWed
on it should be worked over as the
! design permits very lightly with a
| color or colors as one pleases. Ihe
! effect will be much prettier and dam
| tier than the crochet in solid color
| trimming, white one sees so often. Odd
| threads of wash silk may be used up
| in this way if one has taste in the COM
| bination of colors. For larger pieces
| of linen which will be frequently laun-
dered fast cottons will be preferable
to the silk for working.

Something in Opinion.

One believes that there is something in
this opinion the more one dives into the

There is no doubt of a strong reaction

We did not accept this change when it
came last summer, but the whole world
is accepting it now.
All Of this discussion may seem far
away from the fashion for dark green
cloth street suits trimmed with astrakhan
but in reality it is Il part of the whole
movement :
Dark colors arc chosen instead of bright
ones, or. rather, it may be said that gay
colors are not as popular AS they were.
Sand and string color are as fashionable
as dark blue and green, and their neutral
ity is pleasing and. in a sense, sober

as it becomes a pale coffee color and
clear add the nuts (test in water TO

Another way of making this is to
moisten a pound of granulated sugar
with three ablespoonfuls of water.
When the syrup spins thread, add d
pound of peanuts, shelled and chopped: ::

be brittle when tested in water. Pour
out quickly on buttered tins, letting it

HOUSE GOWN IN MANY
SHADES OF ORANGE

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, December 24.-The or
namental tea gown has never played
much of a part outside of certain so
cial sets in which the women are at
home late in the afternoon for tea and
make change of raiment for that
hour. The average woman would find
the adoption of the whole regime Il
very soothing one if she could make up
her mind to arrange for 1t. linen the
tea gown would be necessary.
/ Even in smart metropolitan life, as in
French life, there is frequent use OF
the loose, colorful tea gown as an in
formal dinner gown. There were times
when women were not supposed to
wear wrappers to the table. but there
is so little difference between the sill
houette of formal and informal frocks
today that it takes an astute observer
to know whether Il dinner gown. Is
Using Tea Gowns.
The modern idea of looking uncor-
seted even if one is not, which by the
way is "A fashion which is seriously
threatened with extinction, allows a
woman to make frequent use of that
kind of robe which the English call a
tea gown, we call house gown and
the French call robe dinteviur..
The latter is a good name for it, be
cause it allows it an elastic use. one
can wear it for any house occasion, and
if it is sufficiently ornate it can be put
on when a woman comes in at o'clock
in the afternoon, thoroughly Wearled
with the days duties and not feeling
up to the act of dressing for dinner.
The loose, comfortable gown which
can be worn with or without d corset
and which is sufficiently low in the
neck for comfort and not too low for
| infcrmality. is exactly the type of cos
+. tune that is gratefully adopted by a
tired woman in those duslSy hours
i that precede dinner. and it is not neces-
| .ary that she should have tea served
! merely because she wears that kind
| Of frock.
In Tones of Yellow.
| There is IL growing tendency toward
| the use of yellow in the house, and
this new tea gown that has been sent
over from Paris by the house of Jean
! Halle brings out a mastery i'll COM
! bining several tones Of yellow.
