When a woman begins to put on flesh
she also begins to complain about her
additional pounds long before she takes
the trouble to reduce them by ordinary
means or dress in a way to become her
changed style of figure. This design of
a dress, whether used for the whole
dress or only for the skirt, is particu-
larly becoming to the stout woman be-
cause it reduces the apparent size of
her hips and waist, and the flare below
the slot-stitched pleats accentuates the
appearance of slenderness above.
This gown may be built of any except
very thin materials. and it is especially
adapted to lighter weights of woods, all
sorts of silks and poplins. and to satins.
In the design the frock is of the fash
ionable eggplant color. which is neither
brown nor plum color. 1t is trimmed
with velvet Of the same hue, and the
buttons are covered with velvet. 1t
would add much to the handsomeness
of the gown if you put one or two
bands of velvet around the bottom.

Whipped Cream Secret.

Heavily whipped cream. if allowed to
stand. is apt to become watery and
thin at the bottom of the bowl, the
sugar having the tendency to separate
in the form of weak sirup This is
especially true If the cream was not
very heavy before being whipped To
remedy this, to every pint of whipped
cream soak a scant tablespoonful of
granulated gelatin in enough cold
water to barely cover it. until it is
soft. Then add small half teacup of
boiling water and stir until the gela-
tin is completely dissolved, after
which add three-quarters of a cup of
sugar and whatever flavoring you in
tend to use for the cream. Turn this
into a cold bowl al beat with an egg
heater until it is white like marshmal-
| lows and begins to become firm, and
| Just as soon as it has reached this
point, but before it has commenced to
grow stringy. beat it by spoonfuls into
| the cream. which has already been
| beaten stiff.
This will increase the bulk of the
whipped cream and will not only
sweeten and flavor it, but will keep il
firm for any length of time. Care
must be taken not to use too much
| gelatin lest it taste of the latter and
make a sort of charlotte russo mix
ture instead Of the whipped cream de-
| sired.

BLUE VELVET AFTERNOON GOWNS.

have already learned to eliminate
diamonds in the morning and emer-
aids in the afternoon and we should
learn to keep fine velvet for fine oc-
casion.
| The French designers are probably
responsible for the overflow of velvet
costumes among women this winter,
but it is a happy fact, one for con-
graduation. that cheap velvet suits
are not conspicuous in the morning.
When Blue Velvet Is Good.
| There is a dissension of opinion
concerning the use of brilliant, dark
| blue velvet in evening gowns; silk
net is considered much better, for it
is not SO heavy in appearance, but
| no one cavils at this shade of velvet
| for afternoon frocks. We have de-
veloped national mania for after
| noon entertainments; even those who
do not dance and those who are not
in the habit of taking tea in res
taurant to music, find themselves very
gayly occupied between the hours of
4 and in the afternoon
| This custom spreads throughout the
| country; it is not limited to large CEN
| ters. These are the hours for enter
tanning whenever American women
| wish to foregather, and this national
characteristic brings about wide de-
| mand for elaborate afternoon cos
tumery.
Among these costumes this new shade
of bright blue velvet has taken
strong hold. There is always an argu-
ment anent the desirability of silk vel
vet on account of it's wearing qualities,
and another disadvantage that can be
brought against it is the fact that it
can be worn only in the winter; it is
not fabric that serves for the other
three seasons of the year, as do satin
and net.
The sketch shows one of the new
French gowns that promises to be
widely copied in this country. The
shade of blue has nothing metallic in
it, as have so many of the satins and
taffetas, and, therefore, it is more be-
coming to the average face. This new
blue has soft depth to it. like the ocean
on a very clear day: it is usually called
Mediterranean blue.

Simplicity of the Bodice.

The entire gown is cut on simple
lines; otherwise. with it's lavish addi-
tion of fur, it would be ugly. But the
interesting note in it for the average
woman is the stern simplicity of the
bodice. 1t seems to belong to the ages
when no one knew how to fashion gar
ments. 1t has a straight front and
back, with long, small sleeves and a
waist is where nature intended it
should be, the belt which outlines it
being made of black satin and held in
place by a large, cut-steel ornament.
Admirable as this bodice is on cer-
tain figures, and much as it is beloved
by the artists. it is not the decolletage
for the majority. 1t takes a slender,
fowerlike face to stand such severity
of cut. The American woman stands a
square decolletage better than any
other. but it must be as deep as her
prudence permits it.

NEW YORK, January 4.-The dyers
found an admirable tone of dark blue
to dip velvet in, and we now see the
result of it in many good looking
frocks. 1t Is well that the modern

to walk. When full skirts and velvet

filled with a feeling of discourage

With dresses of somber hue, it is the
vogue to carry very brightly colored
handbags and purses. Perhaps bags

the material with which they are made.

Democrat Arraigns Democrat.

The severest arralgnment OF tho
Democratic party thus far heard In
Congress has been delivered by Sena-
tor Newlands, Democrat. Of Nevada,
an arraignment especially severe be-
cause inspired by sorrow rather than
dislike, tempered with mercy and an
effort to justice, rather than AMI
mated by partlsanship.
IAN industrial and commercial de-
preston has been experienced and
has been coterminous with Demo-
cratic control OF legislation" said Mr..
Newlands, adding, TT would not do
to charge this to the European war,
first, because that war. though injuri-
GUS to our production and trade in
It's inception, has become stimulant
to production and export, and, sec
ond, because the commencement OF
this depression antedates the Europe
an war and was contemporaneous
with our legislation regarding the
tariff, banking and trade.
But II that war comes to closce, and
the manufacture OF munitions ends.
and added to this source of unem-
ployment our markets. now protected
by the war from invasion, are over
whelmed by the cheap products OF
the nations just emerging from war
and eager to get back their gold, we
may have not only an aggravated In
dustrial depression to meet, but a
financial condition fruitful Of paral-
yzing caution"
Continuing, Mr.. Newlands said:
at is safe to say that the manufac-
turing, banking and the large corpo-
rate interests are hostile to the Dem
ocratic party. and that their en-
ployes are also preparing to throw,
their weight against 1t. simply be-
cause this administration has not
brought good times, but, on the con-
trary, has, in their Judgment, brought
bad times"
Mr.. Newlands scored those changes
in the Glass federal reserve law
which were brought about by Secre-
tary McAdoo and Comptroller John
Shelton Williams In their determine
ton to perpetuate their own power,
saying, "We failed to make the fed
eral reserve board non-partisan, tied
1t TO an executive department
through the membership Of the sec
rotary Of the treasury and the comp
troller, subjected the member banks
to tho investigating and correctional
powers of single partisan comptroll-
err, instead of the composite judgment
OF quasi-judicial. non-partisan
board, and exacted additional and
unnecessary capital from member
banks. thus organizing the reserve
associations into profit-making insti-
buttons, purpose entirely foreign to
their nature as protective organiza-
tons"
He went on to say that what the
Democrats should have done was to
create federal reserve board like
| the interstate commerce commission
with similar powers over the banks
and thus have avoided keeping out OF
the banking system that half repre-
sented by the state banks. And i'm
mediate legislation along this line he
urged.

was assigned to the engineers regu-

The PernicIous income max.


A scheme for robbing the North for
the benefit OF the South would be an
excellent description Of the federal
income tax under Democratic regime,
and in the fact that 1t works that
way is probably to be found the rea-
son for this apparent determination
Of the Democratic majorities to make
good some considerable portion OF
the deficit produced by the Under
wood tariff bill and general Demo
cratic ineficiency by an increase OF
the income tax.
The annual report Of the Demo-
cratic commissioner Of internal reve-
nue. clearly shows where the tax is
collected, while the most cursory ex-
animation OF the appropriations OF
the Democratic Congress establishes
with equal clearness that the lions
share of the federal revenues is be-
ing expended in the southern states.
1t is noteworthy that state, county,
and municipal taxes are almost invar-
iably expended in the communities
in which they are collected, thus re-
turning in some form to benefit those
who pay them. Not so with the fed
eral taxes, which are collected in
those states where the people show
the greatest ability and business en-
terprise, and, under Democratic
administration at least, are expended
In those states which pay the smallest
proportions.
Take the official figures for the in
dividual income tax for the fiscal year
ending in June, 1914, and compare
the $2,670,630 paid by Illinois with
the $425,631 paid by Texas, the ST.
240, 501-.paid by California with the
s165,904 paid by Tennessee, the So
68S,0S4 paid by Massachusetts, with
the s197.559 paid by Virginia. the
s264,315 paid by Iowa with the $S4.-
633 paid by Alabama. the s5S1,949
paid by Minnesota with the $119.9S3
paid by Georgia, the s12S,735 paid by
Nebraska with the $4,000 paid by
South Carolina, the $1.4S9, 401 paid
by Ohio with the $121,36S paid by
Florida, the $94,S75 paid by Kansas
withithe sS4,664 paid by Mississippi.
and the s1,533.S29 paid by Michigan
with the $209,S13 paid by Louisiana.

with the southern Democrats in
control Of the White House ana both
houses Of Congress, and diverting
lions share of the federal expendi-
lures to their section Of the country
is 1t any wonder that they regard an
individual income tax as an ideal
method Of making good the Demo
cratic deficit?
