come from France, where families of handed down from generation to gen. eration, turn out wonderful fans, la- boring in their own homes. Now that so many of the male fan-makers have gone to the war, the women have been doing the work, so fans are harder to get now than they were and prices are higher, of course for these hand built beauties. The delicate paintings are done by artists in the Quarter Latin, and many fan has been signed by name that has since become famous. After the painting is done the gauge is sent out from Paris to a family, of fan-makers to be shaped and mounted on sticks. The quality of the sticks has much to do with the value of the fan. Amber sticks and sticks of mother O pearl are most fashionable just now, but the clever fan-makers turn out some wonderful carved sticks of ivory and of wood. A fan recently brought over from Paris for wedding gift is of sea green gauge embroidered with green and gold beads with sticks of mother O. pearl. A very famous fan which brought an enormous price some years ago was the "Au claire de la lune," the painting showing elves dancing in the moonlight; the design in delicate tones of white and gray on dark blue gauge ground. Smart dinner fans are of black gauge with sticks of amber monogrammed with tiny. dia- monds. With a monogram done in rhinestones, one of these pretty fans costs about thirty dollars.

IAN Monday night of November the irteenth-somewhat earli- CT than last year--New York's
 - social season swings into full awhirl with the opening of Metropoli- Fan opera. And the great wheel of Social doings will keep on revolving with undiminished speed until faded nerves demand the respite of Aiken hnd Palm Beach in January. The opera will not stop then; but it's really brilliant season will be over and the best time to see a full galaxy of the Isocial stars, planets and satellites thereof is during December, while so- Eciety is at it's gayest and before it has Ewearied of repeated opera perform

supreme social event go on busily, but there are preparations in great dress houses, exclusive furriers, in the workshops of famous jewelry establishments, and in the cable offices between New York and Paris. Could you have an all-overhearing ear at the telephone. you would catch many an important message on the morning of the thirteenth: "The coiffure for Madame at o-thirty-what, impos- sible to get there before six. So many coiffures to be built today? Very well, at six then without fail.' "The face specialist for Madame this morning she must rest several hours after her Send someone up imme- diately with several pairs of gold cloth slippers for Madamoiselle; those sent home are not at all satisfactory" And so on, and so on, all through the day, while New York, behind the scenes, makes ready for the gorgeous pageant of the evening.

~ HE dainty costume blouses in the

 - show off the trimming on front and sleeves, but it is the back that is important from fashions standpoint just now. The blouse that is elab- orately ornamented on it's front, yet plain as pipestem at the back is not smart at all. Whatever the design of trimming on front and sleeves, it must be carried around to the back--if the blouse is to have modish prestige. The bolero suggestion is carried out in beading across the back and around and up the front on Georgette blouses; another idea is the sailor collar effect, lace or other trimming being set into the back to initiate the line of a big collar. Models of chiffon and Georgette that have pintucks on the front are elaborately pintucked on the back also-and when purchasing such a blouse be very sure that the tiny tucks-so effective a trimming-are sewed with silk. Cotton sewed tucks are very bad style, yet good many manufacturers put out cotton stitched waists, making a petty cent or two of profit by the substitution which women are not apt to notice when caught by a dainty style and charming coiors. In a few weeks the cotton stitches will stick up like sore thumb on the chiffon or silk model and en- tirely spoil its distinguished effect.

Worth has returned to the trailing skirt, though many other couturieres simply add length in the train itself allowing the skirt to show the foot and instep and the dainty slipper of gold cloth or tinted glazed kid. Satin slippers are no longer the smartest footcovering with evening gowns, slender, French slippers of glazed kid are considered more correct this sea- son.
 The Worth gown pictured was opera premier and Is an excellent ex- ample of the stateliness and regal style best liked by this house. Worth always thrills to the use of velvet in rich, simple lines and no more beau tiful or stately gown will be worn at the opera this season than the pictured model, of ruby colored velvet with a train in shaded darks and lights of the ruby hue and ending in broad band of black fox which spreads itself over the floor like a rug. The wing sleeves are of ruby silk net weighted with garnet beads and a fold of flesh pink tulle is introduced along the edge of the decolletage, breaking the severe line of the dark velvet against the skin. This gown is intended, of course, for a woman of middle age. It is far too stately and impressive in character for youth.
 A typical opera gown of this season
 is the beaded model for a young ma tron. The beading is done in steel, gilt and crystal on gray silk net and the thin fabric, heavily weighted by the beads, falls in richly simple lines over the figure. The airiest of sleeves. made of gray tulle float over the upper arm, and gray and white tulle folds in the decolletage are caught down under a superb ornament of black enamel and diamonds which is the keynote of the whole costume. A band of diamonds encircles the hair and supports a swinging pendant of dia- monds and one emerald cabuchon

TO MAKE COSMETICS AT HOME

0REANIS and lotions are not mex D pensive items in the bachelor " girls budget so that it is strange she does not oftener make her own cosmetics. For instance, here is a formula for a simple cold cream which can be made at home at a much lower price than when obtained in the shops under some firms name :: Heat four ounces of almond oil in a double boiler; add one ounce each of spermacetti and white wax. When melted beat until almost cold. To this mixture add four ounces of rose- water and twenty drops of benzoin (each separately but drop by drop) beating until quite cold. Then pack away in little jars for use.
 An oatmeal lotion will keep face and hands soft and white during the cold weather. It is made by pouring boiling water on bag containing oat- meal and allowing it to stand for awhile. Then press gently, pour of the clear liquid and add little bay rum. Bottle this and use whenever 1t is necessary

CHINESE LACQUER FOR THE
 TEA ROOM,

E AVE you little tea room in your m home? If not, you may. not
 number yourself as among the fashionably elite. Home tea rooms are the thing now: one does not ring for tea in the drawing room any more in the English fashion, but asks ones guest if she will not step into the tea room. Then an electric button is pressed and presently comes the cozy tea tray. Chinese tea rooms are de- cidedly fashionable and the bright colored lacquer furnishing makes them very attractive indeed. There are nests of tables in Chinese black lacquer with gay Oriental decoration. black lacquer muffin stands to match. and even black lacquer floor lamps with design in gold and red and shade of black parchment decorated in gold. The tea room has a thick. soft black velvet carpet and low chairs of black wicker with cushions of red and gold brocade. The walls are done in gray and black and are hung with Chinese prints with narrow black wood frames.

The change has been slow in arriving over here, but it will be felt by Thanksgiv- ing and already fashionably dressed women who follow Paris closely, are wearing the new. graceful skirt which reveals while seeming to conceal the lines of the figure. These softly drap- ing skirts are bit longer too-almost to the instep. but the pretty buttoned boot is by no means hidden and boots are more fascinating affairs than ever, with their high heels, turned soles and tops of kid or cloth. in contrastinx shades.

True to tToyen A6e Type is this Oper7A Gown of Tur@quorse Br9OCade. Gold ClOth and Lace

at these important gatherings of the clan; but to the debutante, first sea- son of opera is a thrilling experience. And it is pretty to see with what dig nity the little .buds" comport them- selves in the boxes and foyer; some of the older women who chatter dur
 ing the most exquisite passages of music, and altogether turn their grand tier boxes into reception rooms for entertaining and gossip, might well profit by the debutantes' example. For debutante. of course. is the sweet little frock of turquoise and silver brocade, it's Moyenage lines weighted by a trimming of mink fur. Under the Moyenage tunic Is a skirt of gold tissue and the tunic opens to show stomacher of white lace. The slender arms. entirely bare and the modest little square decolletage mark gown for extreme youth. An ex- quisite affair this turquoise and gold and silver gown from Lanvin, light as feather in the hand despite its rich fabrics, silk sewed throughout in the beautiful French fashion that makes even the seams distinguished. One must not forget 10 mention the dalnty girdle; twin bands of pearl beads, fas- tened under a pearl bead clasp at either side of the front. Stockings of gold colored silk. matching the skirt of gold tissue. are worn with slippers of bronze kid, matching the band of mink fur on the tunic.
 Two superb opera wraps are pie tured; one of ermine, the fur set apart for evening wear, and made smart and modern by one of the high choker collars of contrasting pelt-chinchilla in this case. The other wrap is of Du Barry pink velvet with countless yards of mink fur around the full edge. The collar is of mink, and narrow band of mink joins the gath cred velvet to a circular yoke. The wrap is lined with flesh pink soiree silk.

which shades to gray and silver as 1t tends downward. The silk skirt is of dove gray taffeta with a white bro- caded figure and it's hem is edged with narrow silver lace. At the front the brocade is looped up to show an un- der drapery of sheer white crepe bro caded with a silver figure, and this in turn is looped up over a petticoat of white and silver lace which extends over the bodice in panel effect, wide strips of the lace forming short sleeves. The richness of this frock combined with the soft gray, white and silver color scheme, makes an admirable foil for the superb white fan which gives the costume its key note.
 One of the new models shows ostrich feathers mounted on single stick, or handle. These fans do not close like the old-fashioned sort with feathers mounted on slender sticks; they are carried by the handle which often has ring at it's end so that the fan may swing from finger or bracelet They are not as graceful as the open and shut fan, or as capable of firta- tious meanings; but at present they are especially smart. Some of these handle-fans have little mirrors hid- den among the feathers, so that pretty woman may peep at herself now and again while seeming to be playing absently with the plumage of her fan. They come in pale tints of pink, blue and mauve to match even- ing frocks in shaded feather effects and in smart magpie combination.
 A handsome fan of uncurled ostrich
 the most fashionable sort just now with sticks of amber. costs about a hundred dollars. The handle-fans with single stick and shorter plum age than is required for the gorgeous open -and-shut models, may be had for less-about fifty dollars buys a very beautiful fan of this tyre, and there are small dancing" fans in white. pink or pale blue ostrich, with tiny feathers and stick of imitation ivory which come as low as five and ten dollars. Feather fans are like furs, however, if one cannot afford the best, it is better to do without and have some other kind.
 Next best to the fashionable ostrich fan, is one of handpainted gauge. Indeed these fans are so dainty with evening gowns that many women pre- fer them. The handsomest models

HE ian Is cOquetry'S Supreme
 weapon. Beauty can do a good
 many things with parasol and
 ~ much with huff; but put a Ian into her hands and she has a sceptre indeed. From the time of the Pharaohs when fans were symbols of 5royalty and permitted to only those of high estate, woman has coquetted
 with her fan; and there have been aras in history when the fan has lent Etself to graver concerns than affairs
 of the heart. It has taken fiutter- 50 to speak-in politics, and in state
 secrets; a signal with a fan, across a room, has more than once carried a message of tremendous political im- portance. In the gay times of the EE'rench court before the reign of ter Tor, the beaux and belles had flirta- tious code of signals; the lady using kher fan, the gallant his snuff box. &The whole gamut of emotions could fbe expressed, though it is to be pre- Ssumed eyes and eyelashes had an inn Hportant part to play in this method of silent filtration.
 The early Victorian belle was an accomplished wielder of the fan.' In her hand-and accompanied by a fine Rplay of eyelashes. of course-it could &express expertly everything from mod Nest timidity to indignation and resent ',,Ant. The modern maid does not Sn1rt with her fan-at least, not very fBmuch. It may express her mood, but aits motion is instinctive rather than 91calculated. If 1t fiutters nervously, 5aor pauses in suspense, or moves lan- Nguorously lifted to a blushing &cheek, 1t does these things because it's possessor feels that way and merely 8gestures unthinkingly with the fan in &her hand. The modern girl of this Twentieth century. frank and unafraid, would be incapable of the sly little tricks and artiflces employed by her great grandmamma for the gaining of masculine interest and attention.
 The twentieth century woman uses liner fan in a different way. For one &thing it makes finishing touch of Elegance and accentuation for her cos iume; for another, it calls attention 10 her rings and gives opportunity for wearing special rings and bracelets; it may also serve as background for charming profile, or, convenient screen behind which secrets may be whispered when a chaperone is about.
