SEASONS COLOR IS YELLOW
SkilIfuIIy Handled, as 1t Must Be, Il
Is Becoming to the Average
Wearer.

Yellow is much seer in these days.
Last spring yellow was first extensive
ly used in lingerie. Ribbons Of yell
low were run into all sorts of under
wear and negligees. Then yellow
and crepe de chine were used for the
making of rest robes and p~etticoats
and chemises and night gowns. Vel
low waists Of chiffon and crepe de
chine were next worn. And then eve
ming frocks and afternoon frocks of
yellow appeared. There are even
some yellow tweed street suits. Vel
low is usually a becoming color, If it
is skillfully handled. But there are
not many skins that are improved by
coming into direct contact with yell
low. This fact is now understood by
most dressmakers. In almost all the
gowns and blouses of yellow there is
a generous use of cream Of white
tulle at the throat. There is usually
a touch Of black somewhere on these
yellow garments. A little black vel.
vet at the wrist or elbow or belt, or
a knot of black in the drapery of the
skirt, gives character to the color that
might otherwise seem monotonous.

THE Oriental Influence is distinct
4 enough in this elaborate evening
gown, in which one thin fabric after
another is draped over the silk foun-
dation. There is first a skirt of silk
yelled with chiffon. Six narrow
rufles are also yelled with chiffon with
a border or tuck of this fabric ex-
tending below each ruffle.
Over this skirt a tunic of lace is
worn, extending almost to the knees.
One would think this quite enough in
the way of draping, but over this a
drapery Of ~gorgeously embroidered
chiffon is gathered like a second tunic.
By way of further elaboration a
wreath of scattered chiffon roses on
a fuzzy stem extends from the bust to
the hem of the embroidered chiffon,
and a small bouquet at its upper end
finishes the corsage.
The draped shoulder and opening at
the neck are tlnisbed with a fine lace
edging. There is a narrow crushed
girdle of chiffon.
The natural lines of the figure are
followed in this wonderful gown, and
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-01-17

The sleeves are finished at the wrist
with two single frills.
Sometimes two kinds of net are
used, but often shadow lace makes
the outside waist, over plain net.
Heavier allover laces are used as
we'll.
In any of these the waist is so
sheer that a fancy corset cover must
be worn under the blouse. These are
of lace, chiffon, net or thin silk. They
are trimmed with ribboz and small
chiffon or ribbon flowers. and are very
pretty.
Using a plain net waist as a
foundation, more beautiful effects are
made by draping lace or chiffon wells
over them and supplying a wide
crushed girdle of silk or velvet. Lace
wells in colors are used for the same
purpose, and tinted nets and laces
make possible an unending variety in
! these thin. soft garments.
Three such blouses take up so lit
tie room that they may be carried in
a small box OF a bag. They are very
convenient for the southern tourist
and they are Indispensable with the
seasons suits.

Yes. They say the burglars got

Here's a printed description and

cry of the gems-double that for the
additional conviction of the thieves.
1T almost tempts a fellow to play

The great jewel robbery was the
biggest sensation that Fairmont had
aver known. A great many wealthy
people lived near the pretty lake ad
joining the town, and the robbers hac
sought a grand field for operations
They seemed to have vanished com
Sletely, however, leaving no clew be

a new excitement set the village al
agog. BARLEY had been found wound

the neighboring town where he
worked, bent on his regular visit tc

the Winston family, when attacked.
He had been struck on the head with
some heavy, blunt instrument. The
motive of the assault was a mystery,
for although his clothing had been
ransacked and torn, his money and
jewelry were intact.
For twenty-four hours Worth lay
insensible at the home of a relative,
whittier he had been removed. Then
a fever set In, and for over a week
he was deIirious or too weak to talk.
Mae visited him several times and
sent him flowers and delicacies. Mean
time, Rufus had come into a new ex-
perience. He called at the Winston
hor-e one day and sought a private in
terview.
I've got something very confden-
tial to tell you, Mr.. Winston" he said.
The wise old farmer looked inter
ested. He was a shrewd man and
selfish, and he knew that some day
he would be asked to act as a father
in-law to Worth or Rufus.
1--WE got a chance to make $4,000"
went on Rufus, rather excitedly.
"That would give me enough to marry
on. Don't you think so?"
TITS q pretty fine plum for a start"
encouraged Winston.
I've got a chance to get the stolen
diamonds"
"Hey!" stared the farmer.
yes. Now this is a secret. You
see, it's only at a stage of negotia-
lions, 80 far. A stranger came to me,
one of the thieves, l am sure. He
warned me to act with caution. lie

'It's hobnobbing with thieves" sug-

"Ha-huml I'll think about It," re
piled Winston, c~onservatively.
Rufus drew his thousand dollars out
of bank. He was to meet the sup
posed thief four days later. Worth
was up and about. The brightest spot
in his experience was the knowledge
that Mae had shown great anxiety and
interest concerning him during his
illness.
When he came to put on his clothes
Worth discovered his possessions al

strongly memory began to develop h
chain OF circumstances, obscured until
now kiace he was struck down. He
was not yet strong, but he went out
into the warm sunshine, walking GLOW
ly, bent on reaching the spot where
he had been assaulted. Half the dis
lance progressed, his face frightened
and his pulses stirred deeply as he
saw coming towards him the woman
he loved.
Mae wal overjoyed to see him con-
valescing, and told him so. She was
solicitous as to his o~ver-exerting lin
self; learned that he was bent on
some specific mission, and insisted on
acting as guard and helper.
For the first time she learned from
his lips the story of his recent mis-
hap. 1t seemed that while nearing the
spot they had now reached ho had
seen a light among some bushes. AS
Worth investigated, he observed a
man take from the hollow of a dead
tree a box. He opened 1t with a
chuckle. Evidently it had been hid
den there some time before. The mo
ment Worth caught a dazzling glitter
he guessed that they must be the
stolen diamonds.
Il don't know what possessed me"
he told his fair companion, but some
impulse made me seize the box. I ran.
There were wild shouts, and the first
man and two others just. arrived,
probably to share the hidden plumber,
pursued me lust about this rugged
spot l stumbled and fell. The box flew
far from my hands. The men came
up, dealt me a stunning blow and
this is the spot where it all occurred"
They probably regained the box
and fed" theorized Mae.
Probably that" rejoined Worth,
but he began looking about the spot
and poking in the grass with his cane.
Mae asked him what he was looking
for. She flushed quickly when he told
her that it was for the locket wrenched
from his watch chain In his fall, which
contained her picture.
Mae aided him in his search, silent
and impressed. A sudden cry from
Worth brought her to his side. Crop
ing beside a big boulder, his hand
had brushed back a dense growth OF
grass and had touched-the box of
jewels. where it had rolled the night
of his adventure!
Together they proceeded to the Of
flee Of the lawyer who had advertised
the reward. 1t was to face a vast sur
prise. There, dismayed, speeches.,
stood Rufus. He had just brought in
the jewels he had purchased from a
scheming thief.
Paste" said the lawyer-"a fair
counterfeit, even to the initials. You
have been cleverly swindled, my
friend"
IF 1 could only find that lost lock-
,et!" said Worth, as, the reward surely
his, they left the lawyers office.
You value it SO much?" murmured
Mae, wistfully.
He caught the expression Of her
face, then her hand. And Mae did not
take it away until he had told his
love.

Two Kinds Of Wrinkles.

Can you tell the difference between
wrinkles produced by smiling and
those produced by discomfort? And
which would you rather have? Per-
haps you say Neither" But the
wrinkles from happiness only come
after a couple of scores of years of
smiling, while those which spring from
worry may grow over night.
Another argument for the smile
wrinkle is that when 1t comes it is
really attractive, curving up and Civ
ing the face even in repose a happy
expression. On the other hand. the
lines born of discomfort make the ex.
preston unhappy.
There are few smiling faces in any
big city. There is an anxious, hur,
ried look on every face you pass on
the street. Is 1t any wonder young
women grow wrinkled before their
time and are forced to spend hours
in the hands of a masseuse, so thai
they may frown as much az they like
at other times?

The most marvellous tree in the
world is the Carnahuba palm, which
grows in Brazil. Its roots produce the
same medicinal effect as sarsaparilla.
From parts of the tree wine and vine
gar are made. It's fruit Is used for
feeding cattle. OF the straw, hats,
baskets, brooms and mats are made. 1t
is also used for matching houses. The
pulp has an agreeable taste, and the
nut Is sometimes used as a substi-
tute for coffee. Its stems afford
strong. light fbers and serve also for
joists, rafters and other building ma
terials. 1t yields a saccharino sub
stance, as well as a starch resembling
sago. OF the wood of the stem musical
instruments, water tubes and pumps
are made. From the stem a white
liquid similar to the milk of the CO
coanut, may be extracted. Moreover,
salt Is extracted from the tree, and
likewise an alkali used in the manu-
factrTe of common soap.

sALrED NUTS MADE AT HOME
Old Favorlte for Afternoon and Even.
ing Entertainments Need Not
Be Expensive.

Sailed nuts are always acceptable
as a part of the refreshments for af-
ternoon and evening entertainments,
and as al adjunct to the simple home
dinner as well as to the formal one.
They are expensive when they are
bought ready sailed, and unless they
are bought Of a reliable caterer they
sometimes taste stale. They can be
easily. i~nexpensively and well made
at home.
Peanuts are appetizing, and so
much less expensive than almonds
that 1T is a wonder they are not more
often substituted for almonds. To
salt them, buy u~nroasted peanuts
which can be easily purchased from
any street vender of peanuts. Shell
them and remove the inside skins by
letting them stand for a minute or so
In boiling water, after which the
skins may be removed between the
thumb and forefnger. Leave them
In the hot water only long enough
to loosen the skins-not long enough
to wilt or cook the nuts.
There are several ways of browning
the nuts. One way is to put two tea
spoonfuls of olive oil-it must be of
good quality-in a pan and roll the
nuts in 1t. Then put them in a brisk
oven and leave them there until they
r brown.
Another way is to put a tablespoon
full Of oil in the bottom of a chatting
dish, turn the heat full on, and DROP
In enough nuts at a time to cover the
bottom of the pan. Keep the nuts
moving over the flame until they have
turned a delicate brown.
Almonds, blanched and shelled, and
pecans, carefully cracked but moi
blanched, can be sailed in the same
manner as peanuts.
When they are brown, turn them IN
a paper and sprinkle them with salt
Let them cool before taking them
from the paper, which absorbs the su
perfiuous oil and makes them pleas
anter to handle.
