COSTUME FOR THE WINTER
OF as Much Importance to the Woman
of Fashion as Are Those of
Summer.

For winter sports the girl must be
just as smartly equipped as during
the summer days, when she was so
immaculate in white linen and buck
skin.
The winter girl is a trim figure in
her sporting clothes. She wears a
short, heavy skirt, preferably of some
dark wooden material; heavy jersey,
of white angora, trimmed with huge
fur collar. and ON her head is jaunty
little hat Some of the newest of
these winter sporting hats are made
of chamois, warm and durable ma
terial; also adjustable to many differ
ent shapes. Often the cap is in the
natural chamois shade, a light vel
low. color particularly becoming
to brunettes. Sometimes it is dyed
to match the skirt of the costume.
or again, 1t is in some brilliant shade
supplying a brilliant touch of color
to the whole outfit.

is the fur trimmed jersey. This is a
Partisan idea. which originated in the
summer and has been carried on into
the winter outfits. Bands of skunk.

and cuffs of the fur are used instead

will, in design and plan, express his
individuality. And it is true that the
house should reflect the taste Of its
owner or occupant.
Home builders have come to realize
that a house should possess individu-
atty without being freakish. The
hammer-and-saw square box of a
house, or the frightful creation with
caves extending out barely six inches
never sells, let alone being place for
habitation. Architects as a rule are
putting forth their best efforts in the
line of designing houses that will be
artistic and beautiful to look upon.
The architect realizes that first of all
the plan must be arranged to meet
the needs of the family.

So goes the week. The daytime is
spent more or less quietly about daily
affairs, but the evenings are full Of
music, laughter and madcap dancing.
AS the last nights of the Kermess ap-
proach it seems to dawn upon the
Volendamer that the humdrum length
OF another year is approaching, and
accordingly he raises his heels and
limbers up his knees. Whole bands of
boys and men clasp hands or embrace
lovingly, and pound the floor in
rhythmic thuds and thumps until the
entire building sways and trembles,
rocks and echoes to motion and sound.
They dance and dance the last Satur-
day night away. Still they dance when
Monday morning dawns, and only up
on the stroke of noon on Monday does

back to work-till the Kermess comes

PRESERVES THE GOWN
EVENING DRESS HANGER ALSO A
DAINTY TRIFLE.
Work May Easily Be Done at Home
by Anyone Who 10 at All Handy
In Use of the
Needle.

The evening dress hanger is very
dainty affair, and is a bit of work that
can be made entirely at home by any
one who is handy with the needle.
The frame is a strong piece of wire
bent into a heart shape, ending with
hook at the top, but before bending
1t into shape it must be covered. From
the hook to the point of the heart
should be about twelve inches. Four
feet of wire will make the heart, ex-
elusive of the hook, which should be of
the wire twisted, seeing thin wire is
used. The covering is of inch-wide pink
satin ribbon, two lengths being placed
back to back and sewed through twice
its entire length to make casing
yards of ribbon will be necessary, as it
is fulled over the wire, which creates
littl1 frills on either edge.
If wider frills are desired use
wider ribbon. The hook is just twisted
with the ribbon and bow of wider rib
bon is sewed at its base, from which
depend strands of pink baby ribbon
supporting tiny scent sachets, writes
Helen Howe in the Boston Globe. The
advantage of this improved holder
compared with the wooden frame is its
lightness. The shoulders do not slip
from the hanger; sleeves can be
pinned to the ribbon cover should they
be of heavy beads; also the dress can
be pinned at the belt to the point Of
the heart should it be necessary. Some
times heavy sash or ornament will
drag gown when hung upon the ordi-
nary holder.
Speaking of the ordinary holder,

ion, for the better. Tapestry is used |

Black Innings Used.

1t is interesting to note that black
satin Innings are being introduced on
many of the new tailored models-on
almost all the smart coats made OF
navy cloth or serge, and also ON coats
in light colors. There is something
very attractive about a black satin
lining in serge suit of the classic
order. Such lining supplies the lit.
tie mannish touch which makes the
suit original and thing apart from
the ready-made costumes which are to

A touch of handwork upon net ruff
