Handsome Buttons.

There Is larger variety Of buttons
than for several seasons past The
plain metal shapes are severely mill
tary, but not as attractive as the an
tique gold and the fancy novelties in
torpedo, circular, ball and square
shapes. The plain ball button Is not
new. but many are used of a small
size on a vest, with ornamental but
tons Of a large, fancy size and shape
matching the coat fabric.
Very large buttons are used on fur
coats and heavy c1oaks. Milky white
pearl is combined with rich, dark tints
of blue. brown. green, etc. Jet buttons
are used on dressy coats. White pearl
buttons, hand painted. are used on
dressy waists. Small. fancy shaped
pearl buttons of every color decorate
neckwear and waists. On suit trim
med with silk and tinsel braid the
buttons were OF crochet run with gilt,
and entirely gilt buttons on the tiny
vest. Wooden buttons are artistic in
shape. embellished with enameling and
hand painting.

THE new HANDBAGS.

Any one with an addiction of things
old-fashioned must be delighted with
the prospect in handbags, for 1t seems
as If two-thirds of the new ones have
gate tops. This gate top, which was
revived when silk handbags came into
style, is now used on soft leather hand
bags. most effectively. Sometimes tho
little gate top is circular, sometimes 1t
is oval in shape. 1t is made Of silver
and gold. brass and nickel, and some
times it is studded with real or imi-
tation stones.
An odd new bag is made of soft
leather, with a silver gate top, and
little ruff1e hanging over 1t Of silver
mesh. 1t is quite suggestive. somehow,
of the knight Grants helmet and pro-
tector of chain mail that fell over his
shoulders.
There is new bag that is very
small. 1t is made of leather, drawn
into tiny rosette at the bottom
and fitted with a little strap just
big enough to slip over one finger.
Powered silks are still used for
Innings of handbags. and SO are black
and white stripes and the gay silks
vaguely termed futurist.
One of the new bags is called the
troubadour bag. 1t is a long, purse
like bag. of silk, sometimes plain or
MORE, sometimes Powered, and the
strap that forms the handle Is cut in
band of silk that is slipped over the
strap handle and when this Is pushed
firmly down it acts as fastening to
hold the bag shut.

Sticky-Toes Changes Color.
Wonderful things there are, my dear;
Wonderful things to see and hear.

Copyright. 1915. by ]. G. Lloyd,

Wonderful things there are, my dear;
Wonderful things to and hear.
The trouble is that we do not see
and hear all that we might We see
without really seeing, and we hear
without really hearing. Now. Peter
Rabbit had known Sticky-Toes for a
very long time. quite as long as he
could remember. but he never had seen
anything very wonderful about him
until StickyToes had shown Sammy
Jay how he could hide right in plain
sight. Peter had seen 1t all. He had
seen StickyToes fatten himself to the
trunk of tree with his arms and legs
drawn in close, not moving the teeni-
all the world like nothing more than
a patch of gray lichen. that queer fat
moss that grows on trees and rocks.
Then Peter had begun to think that

that he could change the color Of his
coat from gray to brown if he wanted.

his mouth wide open in the most fool

Il don't see any flies around here.
Peter said he.
Who said anything about nies?"
1clcT looked puZZleQ.
Nobody" laughed Sticky-Toes. but
your mouth was SO wide open that 1
thought you must mean 1t for a fly

Peter grinned good naturedly. NO"

because you know 1 don't eat flies as
you do. was trying to swallow what
you said about changing color, and it
wouldn't go down. Seeing is believ-

figure; but let me warn you that the
way in which 1t is applied makes or
mars your appearance.
Frocks of this sort are made up into
dresses for all occasions, but the model
is favorite for afternoon, calling, and
for the theater. 1t is the thing for
morning wear about town. The mate
rial par excellence for the model is
silk. although satin, poplin and ben
galine are all used for afternoon
dresses of this sort.
The new plain soft taffetas, which are
of pure silk and durable as well as sup
pie in fold and graceful in line, are ad-
mirable, built in this sort of gown and
trimmed around the skirt with bias
folds and with groups of little ruffles
or corded shirred bands. Often the
fullness of the skirt Is slightly shirred
over a cord at the bottom, and this
gives a very quaint look to the dress
Where the skirt is corded and shirred,
or ruff1ed, the same idea must be car
ried out in the jacket. A little ruff1e
at the waist line and on the edge Of the
illustrated jacket, the fronts, and above
the sleeve cuffs would accompany ruff
fles on the skirt. Any other skirt
trimming would be repeated in the
same way.
This full gathered skirt is often
adapted to plump figures by means Of
shirred top from waist to hips and it
is also pleated on such figures.
