DANCING FRoCKS in VARIETY
Brilliant Effects Mark Those Most Up
to-Date-6eads and Floral Bands
Both Largely Used.

Fashionable frocks call for light
garnitures of gray and brilliant eff
fects. This brings into use bands,
motifs, tassels and such shapes as
corsage gfrdles, tiny yokes fitting
around a low neck. jacket and tunic
shapes, and so on. These are all of
crystal, pearl, rhinestone and Jet eff
fects, and many pendants are seen.
FTinges are used very effectively and
are of beads in crystal, pearl, silk and
beads, chenille. ribbon, fur and other
materials.
Pendants and tassels OF beads are
Of every size, shape and color, and are
used wherever one can be placed,
either for use or for ornament. Some
Of these tassels measure 81 inches and
are of rhinestone, crystal and pearl.
Black and white net bands are en-
broidered In beads and silk and in the
rich but subdued Persian, Turkish and
Chinese colors and designs. Cascade
effects on bands and founcings are
also of beads. Steel is used with Jet.
Floral bands used on net dancing
frocks have larger roses Of satin or
chiffon and smaller forget-me-nots.
These trimmings used to keep'to n
color, but now several colors are COM
bined, and these bands are used on
founces, top of the neck, lower edge
of sash ends and sometimes a row
around the girdle. Some net en-
broidered bands are II inches wide
and reproduce Persian rug and cash
mere shawl designs.

RASH ON ANKLE AND FOOT

500 Schenck Ave, Brooklyn, N. Y
MY trouble started by a terrible itch
ing around the ankle. My ankle and
foot were covered with a rash. The
itching caused me to scratch to such
an extent that / drew blood and the
rash became sores. My clothing irri-
tated the eczema so that / was forced
to put a bandage around my foot and
ankle. / suffered this way for nearly
three years and by that time both Of
my hands were affected. It was i'm
possible for me to put my hands in
water and l had to wear large canvas
gloves when doing any work.
Il sent for a sample Of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I then purchased
some Cuticura Soap and Ointment. /
continued the treatment for three
months and all symptoms and itching
had disappeared. 1t is now over n
year since Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment effected a cure and there is no
sign of any return of the eczema"

Everything seeks continuity. The
seed drops into the earth to continue
it's kind. Good and evil in habit and in
thought tend to continue in their
course. The thoughts we think wear
their little channel in the brain that
others may turn naturally in the same
direction. The way we did a task
yesterday and today is the way we
shall do it almost unconsciously to-
morrow. Love and hatred, like fruits
and flowers, have their seed within
themselves to perpetuate their growth.
There are persons in the world who
harm each other for no better reason
than that somewhere in the past they
began doing it, and so keep on. In a
life of such tendencies right begin
nings are q matter of grave impor-
lance.

Feathers have seldom had such a
vogue as this season, and never before
have they appeared in such various
form and fascinating colors.
Those used for hairmounts are par.

larger than any that have hitherto
been used. A highly artistic touch is
given by the careful tinting of these
feathers. and now for the first time
plumes may be obtained in all colors

DUTCH SUPPER THAT IS AT ALL

Appetizing and Not Especially Hard
to Prepare, Even in an Emer-

AT this season of the year Dutch
suppers are very popular along with
studio teas and all sorts Of informal

A jolly crowd received invitations
like this not long ago:
IF you is trent of urs
Und like fun pretty much.
Shust come to our party Friday night
Und help us down the Dutch
Thursday, December IL"
The hostess had made quantities OF
paper tulips and by the help Of crepe
papers in windmill pattern she had
transformed the room into a good imi-
tation of Holland. Dutch wooden
shoes were the favors, filled with salt
ed nuts. and the prize for pinning
a shoe on Cinderella's toe was a box
of Dutch cocoa. The following menu
was written on shoe-shaped delft
blue cards:
Robgenbrod Schnittchen.

Eis-Cremes.
Nuss Kuchen. Teufels Kuchen.
1t really means rye bread sand
wiches, white bread sandwiches, sal
ad, cheese, coffee, ice cream, nut cake,
devils cake.
This is the recipe for Spanischer
salat: Take the yolks of three eggs
and add one-half ~teacupful Of salad
oil, stirring it into the eggs slowly.
To this mixture add a teaspoonful of
mustard, two tablespoonfuls of TARA
gon vinegar, one-half teaspoonful of
sugar and a saltspoonful of salt. Slice
three apples, three picked gherkins,
two cooked beets and from six to
twelve boiled potatoes, according to
their size; then skin and bone twelve
good-sized sardines and mix all the
ingredients together in a salad bowl.
Serve with lettuce and garnish with
hard-boiled eggs, sliced beets and
lemon.
For a card club this supper will be
found most acceptable and somewhat
different from the ordinary refresh
ments.
