NEW YORK. January 1.-TWO COM
Portable truths have been welcomed
since the influx of new styles for the
early spring in the south, which means
The late winter for the majority of
folk; these truths are the continued
popularity of dark blue serge and the
prevalence of the one-piece gown.
1t looks as though neither of
these settled facts would be disturbed
throughout the next six months. Wom-
On are glad of the news. because they
associate blue serge with all the prac-
tical virtues and they prefer to elimi-
nate the bother of choosing shirt
waists for coat suit.
Those who are limited in means. and
they are legion this winter, find that
the constant laundering of white shirt
waists comes to a pretty penny, eS-
pecially If one lives in large city
where the price of cleanliness is far
above the price of godliness, although
1t is proverbially ranked as second.
Time for Economy.
II is a time for economy if ones purse
is a deciding factor. and the fact that
fashion throws it's weight on the side

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

If, like French women, you are at
tracted by unusualness. the evening
wrap of today's sketch will surely find
favor in your eyes, for it occupies n
distinct place of its own among host
of other modish wraps without in any
way being eccentric.
The well dressed French woman prides
herself on securing costumes that will not
be duplicated. Nothing she wears must
in any way suggest uniform nor be
too noticeably similar in details to
the garments of other women.
To return to the illustrated wrap:
The very simplicity of the design lends
all the more contrast to the white and
black velours, of which it is construct
ed: in fact. 1t is the coloring and un-
usual trimming which give character
to the model.
The stenciled birds may be cut from
black velour or worked in floss or jet
beads. The effect will be found strik-
ingly attractive. White fox is used for
the deep wide cuffs and for the large
outstanding collar.
Blouse and skirt portion are joined
at the waist with a very broad band
of black velour that serves as a belt,
one pointed end of which buttons over
toward the left side with large tar
nished silver buttons and cording:
The blouse is cut with a kimono
sleeve extension and the full length Is
completed In black. the same width as
the belt. Another pair of buttons with
cord to match holds the edges of the
blouse together where il faStenS to the
left of the neck.
The skiyt is gathered at the top and
hangs in unbroken folds to the hens.
The line of closing runs from belt to
hem in a direct line with that of the
blouse.
White for the evening can hardly be
improved upon, but should you consider
it too perishable there are many other
colors in which this model can be pro-
duced successfully Taupe would be

A>Dainty Tea Cozy.

Since the afternoon tea has become
such a popular form of entertainment
a tea cozy is an actual necessity. Even
though the table is equipped with a
kettle and alcohol stove it is still nee
essary to keep the teapot hot, and
here it might be we'll to say that when
the Kettle and tea caddy are absent the
