Now for Winter Wardrobe.

At the first touch Of ecolness in the
air, summer clothes begin to look
passe and the woman who prides her.
self upon her appearance Immediately
dashes into the shops in search of IL
winter outfit. Straw hats and serge
dresses are now out of place. We must
cover our heads with velvet. felt or
satin, and clothe our bodies in LeaVy
broadcloths trilIned with fur.
The majority of worlen look better
In their winter wardrobes than in
summer clothes. Tie reason for this
Is that velvet hats make an infinitely
softer and more becoming frame for
the face than straw headgear, aud that
furs add UNNECESSARILY to n woman's
attractions. The richness of winter ap-
parel is, as a rule Immensely flatterlng
To feminine beauty.
This year there are some particular
~ lovely styles. Hats are very becom-
Ing In outline, big, broad shapes pre-
dominating. The picture type of hat
is boon to the woman past her first
youth, as its broad lines shade her
face so that any wrinkles that may
be there are lost In the shadow. The
young girl also makes IA striking fic-
ture in big hat, and for this reascn
the Gainsborough type of headgear
Is always sure of a welcome whenever
IL appears on fashions horizon. How
ever, not all the newest and smartest
hats are big. There are plenty of chic
shapes that are small or of medium
size. These assume all sorts of queer
contours and are trimmed In a num-
ber of odd ways.

Then make a handle OF the material
and sew on the pillow as in the sketch.
aud 1t can be carried about without
the slightest trouble.
When the cushion Is made as gift
for friend, a monogram can be work
ed on the pocket; this should be done
In solid satin stitch.

Applique Work.

New frocks are not to be outdone by
the latest fad in the needlework world,
applique work. Several charmlngly
simple and demure gowns of dark blue
serge used attractively applied natural
linen in the shape OF leaves and roses.
These are fastened To the material
with blanket stitchery in the colors de-
handed by the design. Cretonne motifs
are applied to one gown. The use Of
applique is supplemented by roses or
other flowers of ribbons. Such AN ar
rangement is seen on blue wool rIar-
quisette, where the roses are quite fat
and round and made of pink taffeta,
while the leaves are appliqued TO the
material from green taffeta.

For Use When travelling.

A cushion is always most useful
and acceptable article, both to make
for oneself or TO give TO friend; they
are things one cannot have too many
Of.
One to take when travelling Is indeed
most useful, In fact they make all the
difference In the world between com
fort and discomfort.
First of all make n case TO hold the
stuf.ng for the cushion; this may be

to what is at hand. Soap the inside OF

Black and white ribbons in man,
varieties are used for hat bands. They
are used in widths CT an inch and u
half or two inches, and are finished
with a small, tailored bow on the left
side. The designs are stripes running
crosswise and lengthwise, plalds and
checks, and dotted. Sometimes black
dots, as big as the width Of the rib
bon allows, are placed on white
ground, and sometimes white dots on
black ground are used.

tfThe Reckoning Fla1ne,'' a Triangle play in five soul stirring acts is one of the main attractions on the Plaza Jbiu for the first half of the week and it is proving one of the most absorb ing of the dramatic features so far released by this famous company. Henry woodruff and Tsuru Aoki are featured in the picture, which tells a story of an East Indian tragedy and of how a young bride is saved from the <'tsuttee'' or death on her hus- bands funeral pyre by a dashing Eng fish commissioner who takes her into his household disguised as boy. It is the sort of play that holds you every minute and makes you wonder after the climax has been reached.
