T HERE is an odd and interest 5" ing headdress. The big . A mass of the plumes sits on top of the head somewhat, it has been suggested, like the top of picture frame. And certainly the dropping tips make a charming frame for the lovely face within them. The other part of the head. dress-it looks like skeletonized Dutch cap-is rhinestones, or dia- monds if you prefer and can afford them.
 Down in the right hand corner you can see the dress that the headdress goes very well with. It is one of my very newest, and I am more than a little proud of it. It is all of black net and fine lace. The little light bodice is of black satin. The net sssfs from the hips in gauzy, "ws:erfall" effect, and under the net is the fairly tight fitting underdress-also of black. The big, old-fashioned brooch and pendant carries out the oid-fash.

toned note and also the diamonded part of the headdress.
 The effect is quite lovely. think. And that phrase, "picture frame plumes," leads me to a little dis sertation upon framing as applied to the face in general.
 don't see why the framing idea isn't an excellent one to be devel- oped. We frame a picture to bring out its full effect-an effect impos- sible without the relief of the frame, although there are pictures that look better without frames, and so. quite naturally, it follows that there are faces that would be better without framing. But what I mean is this: Suppose one has really the loveliest eyes. Why not call attention to them? Of course the beauty patch" was designed for just that. But 1t has been used so much that no one notices 1t any more. It has outlived its useful ness. But a feather, for instance, falling down from the forehead and cunningly accenting one of the eyes-how it calls attention at nncei There are artful Ways of s'framing" eyes. a beautiful ear, q lovely mouth-yes, even an ex' quisite nose that will leave noth.

 eous sister shows the way. Now. I believe comes to us from the Great Source and that Ist be, laden with good, if we will only under. cept it. that we ought not to dismiss 1t just s new or hasn't been tried" We ought to nrselves, find it's meaning and use it, even if ake courage. If we don't we'll find sooner or that the ideas don't come so readily or so l. And why should they--if we don't appre- te them?
 'or instance-most people would not think of making anything out of anything except accepted dress fabrics. There are the con- ventions the mechanics of the art. and they mustn't be disturbed. Nonsense! Some. times I see a piece of cloth that is intended for upholstery-a covering of a chair or Q sofa perhaps. and the idea comes to me: What. a marvellous thing to use on a dress!" Do hesitate because that fabric was designed for chair or a sofa? I do not. use it as the idea dictated, and To and behold, 1t makes some woman beautiful! Or will see some window curtains and if the idea suits me those curtains appear with perhaps the most wonderful of hand.woven fabrics upon some beauty, and the humble curtains are made glorious.
 The philosophy of life. or one part of 1t. as see 1t, is to take the good wherever you find 1t and if by chance it isn't in it's proper place, or would be better in another place, put 1t there. When you do that you work in harmony with the Great Source, and it doesn't matter whether what you work with is cloth or humans-the principle is exactly the same.
 And that is the reason always advise women to stick to the fashion that they have found best suits them--uniess, of course, they find another fashion which suits them better. One of the dresses wear, the "Curate." designed ten years ago. And it is still not bit "odfashoned." It suits me; and have it made up in a number of colors and fabrics.
 It suits me, and stick to it, and will until Ind something better-no matter what the fashion" of the moment may be.
 What we all must do Is look for the best in dress as in everything else. And when we find it we must take 1t to ourselves, no matter what 1t Is or what the setting in which we find it.

 Down in the left hand corner is another of the new dresses. It has the waterfall" effect, too. but not to- the extent of the other. It is all of black tulle and silk and jet embroidery. Both dresses have the cunning little disguised hoops that I invented especially for this season. The bodice is caught up with little diamond shoulder straps.
 Here l hark back again to ''pic. ture frames" for our faces. have said that it is only the novelty of the idea that causes one to hesi- tate and be a trifle-perhaps- shocked.

DISCOVER MANY CASES
or SMALLPOX AT ALTO
Epidemic, However, Is Now Be.
lieVed to Be Under Control.

Alto, Wis, Jan. Twenty cases OF
smallpox have been discovered in this
village, and business is practically at
standstill. A few patients were in
critical condition on Tuesday, but
their condition have since shown i'm.
provement. Thus far there have been
no deaths. Six new cases were dis
covered on Monday.
The disease is believed to have
been brought here by Willis Du Venn
Arnold Westerveld and Franklin
Bruin when they came home fo1
Thanksgiving holiday from Cedar
Grove academy. The Du Venn store
has been closed.
The disease was first thought to be
chickenpox or scarlet fever. Waupun
physicians called Dr. Harper of the
state board of health to Alto and he
recognized the disease as smallpox.
