CHIC NEW SWEATER BLOUSE

There is no attempt to relieve the
neckline of evening gowns when they
are deeply decollete, as the bodice is
rarely of heavy or opaque material.
The introduction of an afternoon
frOck, which now means a frOck worn
for lunch as well as tea, but not for
the ordinary purposes of shopping or
patriotic work, with n deep U-shaped
decolletage half filled in with a fiat
ruffle of lace, has met with sufficient
popularity to insure reasonable
measure of success, and one hears on
every side the expression of pleased
acceptance with a fashion that gives
one a chance to have the face soft
ened.
Against this judgment there are
host of DIRECTORS who insist that the
severe neckline is smart and that the
other is out of the picture, but as soon
as enough well-dressed women adopt
the advancing method then she who is
out of the picture will be in it. 1t is
merely a question of the eye. We are
the victims of visual familiarity with
objects. Otherwise there would not be
that complete change in the fashions
which occurs season in and out.

CHRISTMAS OF LONG AGO
Poignant Pangs Come Instead of
Peace, as Season Causes Thoughts
of the Past.

Christmas, singularly enough for q
festival that is supposed to celebrate
Joy, is characterized by sadness. The
time of year. which is supposed to be
fraught with good cheer, is laden with
pain. Instead of peace. there are ex-
perieneed poignant pangs.
Nor is it cynicism which says so;
the average man in the street will tell
you the same. Neither is grabbed age
sponsor for the crOtchets of the time
unless, indeed, Grabbed age begins in
this hurried era when Il man passes
his majority. Nor is the tragic contrast
between the cloud, which now for the
fifth Christmas darkens Europe and
the world, and the bright star of Beth
lehem the reason for the somber tone
that sounds beneath the gay notes of
the season, us the deep diapasOn of the
organ rolls beneath the ripping mel
ody. No; il is none of these things
which imparts to Christmas the SOM
berness which is apparent to every
body who has passed into years Of ma
turity.
It's memory that does it. Memory
plays tricks with us on these days.
Perhaps more than on any other hOll-
day our minds revert to ChriStmaScs
that used To be. We like 10 think about
1t; We like to read the Christmas
Carol, because it puts in everlasting
words the emotion of gladneSs which
used to dominate that day. No mat

one day, from the time we jumped
and scampered across the cold floor
TO get the stocking which somehow
had been stuffed during the night, to

when, candy-smeared and filled to the
point of repletion we were rescued

MITTENS ARE IN GAY COLORS
Wooden Hand Coverings Are Seen In
Large Variety; Often Match
Scarf or Cap.

One reason put forward for the
vogue for mittens is that one cannot
carry a muff and carry bag, and
every patriotic woman simply must
carry Il bag these days. Another rea-
son, and one that holds true of the
woman OF moderate income, is that
fur is high and a new muff is out of
the question. Then a lot of women
are doing outdoor work who never
did it before. They are exposed TO
the cold nippng air Of morning and
evening on their way TO and from vol
unteer or paid work. They drive
automobiles and conduct" street cars
and act as messenger boys and collect
bills, and for this work they need to
have q protection for their hands that
is more substantial than the kid glove
or fabric glove of other days.
Hence the mitten
The prediction was made some
months ago that the smartly dressed
woman would be wearing shaggy an
CORA gloves and mittens and some peo-
pie shrugged their shoulders and felt
sure that there was nothing that would
tempt the well-dressed woman away
from the conventional kid. Surely the
fact that they had almost doubled in
price would not have this effect on
the woman who took dressing serious
ly. But the vogue has come. and
where well-dressed women are seen
In outdoor attire there one also sees
wooden gloves and wooden mittens.
They are made in the gayest colors.
often TO match wooden scarf or cap,
and as the season advances they will
be even more in evidence than they
are now.

AS to size or shape, the unimpeach-

Unbeautifying splashy scrolls of the

The Boys Are All Away

How shall we wieathe tho holly7
How hang the mistlctoe?
How shall we keep the Christmas feast
With the JOY used to know,
When on the happy Christmas Day
The boys are all away?
The holly pricked their fingers
And brought wee drops OF red.
When caught beneath the mistletoe
The laughing lassies fed.
No romplng games this year we'll play
The boys are all away.
But we will never shame the lads
With hearts so bold and true.
Well never mix our Christmas greens
With sombre boughs OF yew:
With courage high We'll learn TO say:

Well keep the heart and make the home
As bright as bright can be
And sing the carols old and sweet
