gether. Many will think that the pret-
tier style has been sacrificed to the
uglier. One thing Is true for the NOR
alist to assert, which is, that woman
can appear more modest in the former
than In the latter. We have not had a
fashion for centuries that left woman
SO uncovered below her knees as the
modern evening skirt.
The Sleeveless Bodice.
One would think that the possession
of thin arms would suggest to a wom-
an that the Greek method Of holding
up the gown with a shoulder clasp,
emitting the sleeve, which was not
then invented, was not for her; but the
consciousness of ugliness in any es-
pecta1 part of her anatomy evidently
does not deter a woman from exposing

adopt it.
AS the fashion goes now. it ia the
smartest way to finish Off a bodice un-

of lace which the passion for the

Sewing Room Hints.

II you would be sure to place snap
fasteners on waists in the exact posi-
ton sew the smallest part OF the
fastener on the tapping over edge all
the way down; pin the blouse at top
and bottom; press top of fasteners
with an iron; this leaves a dent, show
ing where to place the other part.
II the needle becomes sticky while
sewing, in the absence of an emory,
run it several times through the thick
est part of the hair, and note the Won
derful result.
When getting a garment ready to
try on, use u small needle and rather
fine cotton for basting: also take
small stitches so 1t will not pull and
be too tight when sewed. Small stitches
keep seams from stretching.
When removing hastings, cut at
close intervals and never draw out
long ones to use again. Some say ''it
is nothing to remove hastings" but it
takes time if done with care in the
right way

The Corsage Chic.

The dress corsages resemble the elab-
crate afternoon separate corsages in
form, and skirts are like those OF the
tailored suits, bell-shaped. They are
adorned with deep flouncings of lace or
overlapping tunics placed over an ac-
cordion-pleated drop skirt.
Wide girdle sashes are used to give
the long wasted look to the figure.
They are wound about the figure so
that any defect in the wearer's proper
tions is concealed.
While the average new corsage re-
mains transparent, it Is now built over
a skeleton lining. which. however. does
not include sleeves.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, November 23-No one
knows why the French designers did
not advocate the full skirt for the
evening. when they SO strongly ap-
proved of the wide skirt for walking
Throughout the autumn they showed
skirts that were the equal In narrow
ness to any that had gone before. and
yet one would think that the dance
craze would have suggested the skirt
that had three yards at the knees to
give freedom to the movements of the
dancers.
Instead they did just the opposite.
with an exception here and there. Did
this exception point the way to some
thing newer before the winter was well
advanced? 1t looks as though we will
be wearing much wider evening skirts
by the time March is here; but In the
meantime there is the present to con-
slider.
And skirts are still narrow. That
fact may rejoice the hearts of those
who have gowns on hand that are sufh-
ciently good to serve another few

The Use of Straps,

Straps are used to restrain the full
ness in many of the new winter coats
and skirts. Sometimes there are two
straps across the back OF a coat where
the full skirt flares from the waist Sec

the front of the skirt to hold in the

there is the suit of the sketch in tete

trimmings of seal or otter.
The coat is of the redingote style,

Trains on Dinner Frocks.

There is no longer any doubt that
trains will be worn on the majority of
gowns for the evening which are not
intended for dancing. One sees them
everywhere. They are not especially
graceful, for they are unstiffened and
narrow, and therefore twist and roll
up on themselves in manner that
could not be called prepossessing. If
the skirts of 1850 were back in fashion,
short and fiaring to an extent of six or
more yards, then thetrains will disap-
pear, for the two ideas do not go to-

and a twist there. Drapery must
be eliminated. Those puffed-out pieces
at the side that gave us the ap-
pearance of Dutch boys are exceeding
ly attractive, but old-fashioned. The
line must be straight or flaring. but not
broken up by horizontal or irregular
lines going around the figure.
Such an edict shelves many gowns.
it is true, unless one can see clear
way to abolish the drapery and pull
1t down into a clear-cut line from the
waist to the feet. In some cases this
can be done by putting the extra fab
ric into open pleats at the sides just
above the hips. Callot did this on one
of her most popular gowns In black
silk, with long tunic showing cross
bars made of black velvet.
She also made the gown which is
shown in the sketch today. 1t Is of

UP at the back, and extends into

fires the gun at your foot, and you
feel the red-hot needles travel up
your leg and come out at the knee,
not all at once, but like the animals
went into the Ark, two by two. When
the last couple of needles have fin
ished the course you find yourself
sweating with fear, and wondering
how long it will be before the fellow
fires the gun again. Presently you
find he is under contract to fire it
every five minutes, and you get ready
for the discharge. But you can never
be said to get accustomed to it, be-
cause the BLACKBOARD loads it with a
new kind of red-hot needle every
