DICTATES OF FASHION

The newest card case is of striped
silk.
There is a new brown or greenish
shade called rhubarb.
Pale green and tan are the favorite
shades for CATERS.
A yellow vest will add a note of
richness to the gray suit.
Ripple styles and cape effects pre-
dominate In both evening and after
noon wraps.
The new Japanese quilted wrappers
are cut with perfectly straight unfit,
ted back.
Square frames are seen in the new
handbags, and some handbags are mel
on shaped
There are no tight-fitting coats; all
the new coats are semifitting; some
have clusters of plaits at the side.
Evening slippers are gorgeous. They
are made of all sorts of rich ma

Petticoats Are Wider.

Petticoats are gradually growing
wider at the foot. to keep pace with
widening skirts. The ripple skirt,
edged with fur. is all the prettier for a
ruffied silk petticoat beneath 1t, and
the new petticoats with plated frills
are very gay and coquettish affairs.
Pussy willow taffeta, soft in texture
and charming in coloring, is better
than messaline, which soon wears thin
and trays at the seams. and the frills
may be hemstitched or picot-edged to
add a final touch of distinction. Dan

pussy willow silk are fiounced with
lace and ACCORDION plated chiffon

Never before was there such a de-

Going through a stock of neckwear
few days ago was astonished at the
simplicity of some models and could
not help thinking how much money
might be sased if the material we're

made up at home. writes Helen Howe
In the Washington Star. True, one can
buy inexpensive neckwear that is very
pretty; but alas! only until 1t has
been Numbered. Then it is poor look

of neckwear are quite expensive. For
example, a collar marked at s1.5O |

The lace is folded in two and nine

The only active service undertaken
by Falkenhayn previous to the present
war was during the Boxer rebellion
when he served on the staff OF Count
Waldersee. After the Boxer war ne
