GOWNS FOR EVENING WEAR
Many of the Prettiest OF the Designs
Are Offered for Careful
Selection.

If we lived in a fairy tale and were
allowed the usual three wishes, in
stantly to be fulfilled by the inevitable
fairy god-mother. I'm sure that IN
most cases one of the three would be
for a new fall evening gown-1915
model!
They are positively irresistible, and
although that is the usual verdict re
garding each seasons evening gowns,
it seems just as impossible this year,
as it did in all preceding years, to be-
lieve that the designs could ever be
lovelier. Materials are wondrously
fine, and in many cases very costly,
giving the impression again that they
could hardly exist outside Of fairy
tales nor be produced by any other
than that same indulgent fairy god
motIer of the three wishes.
Metal fabrics and much silver en-
broidery will be used. The latter is
known as lame" in French Chiffons,
faces and nets are to be fur-trimmed

STRAIGHT Lines Hold.

While good deal is being said and
written about f1ounce and tunic eff
fects it must not be lost sight Of that
the straight, slim lines are by no
means out of the running The cui-
rass type Of gown is back again and it
Is likely to play an important part in
the fall modes. In some Instances the
models are fastened straight down
the back, from neck to skirt hem; and
there are other interesting effects that
have sort of jerkin tunic laced down
either side. The Russian blouse is
but another declaration of staight line
principles that will prevail in evening
and in daytime models for next sea-
son.

There are many different kinds OF
sauces, some of which are named be-
low.
Mint sauce Is the usual accompani-
ment to lamb, and is easily and quick
~ made. Add three tablespoonfuls of
finely minced mint to two or powdered
sugar, then add tablespoonful of boil
ing hot vinegar and let stand an hour
before serving. The addition of a few
drops of olive oil before serving is
liked by many.
Tr1pe is an easily digested meat and
Is especially good with onion sauce.
Boil a pint of onions until tender in
boiling sailed water, drain and chop
fine. Melt two tablespoonfuls of but
ter In pan, add two of -four, and
when well blended add pint of milk.
Stir until boiling, add the onions,
more seasoning of salt and pepper,
and more butter If needed, pour over
the tripe. and serve hot.
Horseradish Sauce. - Horseradish
mixed with vinegar and sweet cream
salt, and bit Of mustard, makes a
nice sauce to serve with steak or fish.
Almond Sauce.-Blanch and pound

seven bitter almonds, add two table
spoonfuls of orange juice, the yolks

cream and two Of sugar Put all into

What do the girls think of the man

still prefer to be taken by storm, to
hear hot words Of love ringing In their
ears, to be asked manfully and
straightforwardly for heart and hand?
Do they not insist as never before that
faint heart ne'er won fair lady? We
read between the lines of Roman his
tory that the Sabine women very
promptly recovered from the initial
shock of being carried off, and it Is
not on record that any of them tried
to escape from the happy bondage to
which they were consigned. Are the
women of today and different? We
doubt 1t.
It Is admitted on all sides that the
woman Of today Is the stronger vessel
that more than ever Is she more
deadly than the male. For that very
reason man today as never before
must summon all the strength that Is
left to him when he goes forth to meet
his fate. The use Of misplaced post

mony today lies in boldness coupled

briefly told. A lady of Springfield, ILL.,,
says:
After being afflicted for years with
nervousness and heart trouble, | re-
ceived shock four years ago that left
me in such a condition that my life
was despaired Of.
II got no relief from doctors nor
from the numberless heart and nerve
remedies I tried, because l didn't know
that coffee was daily putting me back
more than the doctors could put me
ahead.
Finally at the suggestion of friend
left off coffee and began the use OF
Postum, and against my expectations
gradually improved in health until for
the past or 8 months have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells Of heart trouble.
my troubles all came from the use
of coffee which I had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared

of Postum" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects OF
leaving of coffee and drinking Postum,
but there Is nothing marvellous about
it-only common sense.
Coffee Is a destroyer--Postum Is
rebuilder. That's the reason.
Look in pkgs. for the famous nttle
book, "The Road to Wellville.'
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well boil
ed. 15c and Csc packages.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes delicious beverage
instantly. 30c and soc tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds Is
about the same.

The Velvet Suit.

Before putting away your velvet suit
1t should be cleaned with a soft brush
to remove all the dust. Then put it on
coat hanger and suspend it from the
bathroom ceiling. taking care to keep
1t clear of other objects. Turn the hot
water in the bathtub and close the
room up tight for about a half hour.
This process, says the Washington
Herald, raises the nap as efficiently as
a professional cleaner.

ORNAMENTS OF WORTH
RIGHT THINGS TO BE. WORN TO
SUIT THE OCCASION.
Adornments Must Be Fitting If They
Are to Be Effective-Ideas for the
Couture That Should Be Kept
in the Memory.

All the girls are wearing hair orna-
ments this summer" announced Mar
jorie. How Go you think 1 would
look in something of that kind?"
Some couture ornaments are very
attractive and in good TASTE" answered
Marie, land am certain well-selected
ones will improve any ones appear
ance if worn at the right times"
Won't you suggest some 1 might
like to wear?" pleaded Marjorie.
why, yes,'' was the reply. Il have
in mind several seasonable novelties
which might suit you For instance,
| there are she'll pins with hinged tops
with gems that may be turned in diff
ferent directions to suit the couture,
and simulated caps of strings Of pearls
with tiny chin straps of pearls to
match to wear in the evenings
Marrow bandeaux of rhinestones
that widen out into a barette In the
back and which are matched by the
high spans in combs set with rhine
stones are very pretty
There are also caps formed of
strings Of jewels set wide apart, with
two straight feathers up the front,
their quilts outlined with gems.
"Square-topped pins, inlaid with
gold. matching gold-topped side combs
and high open-work back comb, with
a tl1gree design in the gold, are all
shown, as are also hairpins with fill
gree gold tops, shaped like a ball, the
center filled with compressed sachet
balls and thin bands of gold ending in
gold tassels to wear across the front
of the hair, the tassels hanging back
of the ears like simulated earrings.
Glass as a material for couture
ornaments is steadily making it's way
into favor. Under strong light spun
glass aigrettes are most effective, espe-
c1ally when of white combined with
emerald green, sapphire, blue, ruby
red or golden yellow.
Some glass tiaras show design in
flowers and leaves attached to a skele-
ton latticing in silver or gold Rose
buds with their foliage are favorites.
but SO are white wild daisies and any
Of the smaller field blooms.
Clusters of oak or mistletoe leaves
are used with good effect in glass
tiaras, and, in fact, any sort of foliage
that Is not overlarge may correctly be
used, excepting, of course, the straw
berry leaves sacred to the English
duchess.
Couture ornaments and tiaras in
amber or in amber colored glass are
stunning looking on brunette beauty,
and for blondes there are fetching eff
fects in all-jet or in jet combined with
paste, pearls or opals

Odd ParaSOiS,

1t has Deen a record year for weird
and wonderful parasols Of every de-
scription. The tiny early Victorian
sunshade that turns on hinge has
had a great furore and Is fascinating
toy, just enough to shade the face and
eyes from glare and yet not enough to
obscure any Of the beauties of the
toilet or seriously obstruct the view Of
anyone behind the wielder Of it. Never
has the sunshade been so elaborate as
this season. Real lace Of ali kinds has
played a great part in their decora-
tion embroidery and hand painting
too, have been lavished upon them.
The real Japanese parasol has been
much in evidence; one seen at Ascot
was entirely lacquered with gold and
used with black and gold toilet.

MAKES PRETTY CANDLE RING
Idea for Those Who Continue to Use
the Somewhat OId-Fashioned
llIuminant

The ordinary glass candle ring is
not, as a rule, an article of a very
ornamental nature, and in our sketch
we show something of much prettier
kind that can be prepared without any
great amount of labor.
In making it, in the first place, a
ring must be cut out in stiff cardboard,
and for the shape and size a glass
ring can be used as a pattern. The

Sleeves of TuIIe.

Tulle sleeves are much in evidence.
Long tulIe sleeves are worn on after
noon frocks-sleeyes that reach well
over the hands. Dn evening frocks,
even when there are no sleeves, there
is often bow of tulle made of strand
of the material wrapped about the
arm. These tulle sleeves are very at
tractive. Some on the evening frocks
are long and flowing, held in at the
wrist only by a band Of rhinestone
jewels or velvet.

and made transparency over each
other. Taffeta is still to be the leading
gown fabric, but made in a new
weave known as 'faille giralda," that
rather resembles grosgrain, only the
twilling is finer. 1t has been especial
ly designed as a material with sufi-
cient body to conform with the re-
quirements of our outstanding gowns.
There are just few general rules
to follow in planning the new evening
gowns. Waists are scant, skirts are
scant, and tunics are very full and
long reaching always below the knee
and in many cases, right to the feet.

Varied Use of Feathers.

Feathers are worn in a vast variety
of ways. Sometimes short ostrich
feathers surround the crown; some
times feathers are twisted round
snail fashion, the long feathers having
the end twisted to resemble a
snail. Tall feathers on hats that are
tilted over one temple and have an
avalanche Of feathers falling over the
back are smart and original. Some
times uncurled feathers are mingled
round the crowns with daisies.

Pretty candle rings can also be made
of thick plain white cardboard, and
then a pretty floral design can be
painted upon them with water colors.
