ODD SKIRTS MADE
OF vELvETEEN
POPULAR

One of the dominant features of this
winter is the rise to fashion of the
skirt which is made of velveteen or
velvet and does not match any other
part of the costume. The shops sell
these garments in black, brown, gar
net and blue, and the women wear
tEnics over them, also short, Diana
Manners blouses, loosely girdled at the
waist, and braided Dagobert corselets.
The designers have caught up the
idea nat women are buying their gar
crdinating them at home, and quickly
rising to the emergency they are max
ing co stumes which cali for a separate
of some kind.
There is no idea in these gowns Of
going along the old channel of con-
ventional color combinations.
One smart ,frock that came from
abroad, has a short, narrow skirt of
seal brown velvet with a long waist
less tunic of ceruIean blue silk jersey
PICKED out at the waistline with blue,
yellow and black embroidery. A short
Zcuave jacket effect is outlined at the
top of the tunic by means of this en-
bribery.
Catching up another fashion idea,
which is the introduction by the
French designers of the baby sleeve,
the long sleeve of this blue tunic has
straight, outer sleeve of brown vel
! vet to match the skirt.
| Keep your mind on. these baby
sleeves, They are in very high fash
| ion.

Ne W LINGERIE
is MADE OF
PINK WOOL

In France, where, of course, the
coal shortage is much more serious
than it is here, even fashionable
women have been wearing heavy I'M
derclothes, and have knitted for them
selves tights of the softest light pink
wool they could find. But the Amer
lean women choose to increase the
weight of their garments from the
outside, and SO don sweaters and
scarfs and fur collars galore.
In one of the large department
stores in this country the order went
forth and is still in operation that the
temperature should be kept about IS
degs., instead of the usual rs or So
Fashions changed overnight. Even
the employees, who must have to dress
on limited income, indeed, adapted
themselves to the situation with true
feminine grace. They had been bask-
ing in a tropical atmosphere. Geor-
gette and chiffon blouses had been
adequate even for winter wear. Pres
to! Came in knitted sweaters and
substantial silk blouses with woollen
collars.

SEWING HINTS.

If buttonholes have become worn
or frayed on a wooden garment, sew
a small piece of cloth over each side
of the old buttonhole. stitching it
down fatty all around. Then cut
and make new buttonhole right
over the worn one. IF you have no
pieces of the cloth dark colored tape
may be used in the same way. This
also applies to linen or cotton goods,
using a very fine piece of cloth or
tape and fine thread.
When sewing Oh an overcoat but
ton place a match across the top of
the button, pass the thread over this
and through the holes. When enough
thread has been used withdraw the
match, run the needle through to the
underside of the button and wrap the
thread five times around and fasten.
Aprons lose their attractiveness I'M
less they are up to date. The new
basque apron is the latest. 1t Is
made with a long wasted basque sec
ton, that is closed either in the front
or back with long row of buttons.
There is a big Topping sash at the
back. When the apron is buttoned
in front it looks quite like a basque
and long tunic, for the lower part
flares quite as the tunic is supposed
to flare. It is made without sleeves,
with short kimono sleeves or with a
long bishop sleave.

Etiquette

Receive every attention, however
small, with real gratitude which is
warmly expressed.
A. B. C.-In the smaller cities
where evening dress is not always
worn at evening entertainments, one
may properly inquire of the host or
hostess when one receives an invita-
ton, as to the costume the guests are
supposed to don for the occasion. The
degree of fornality is not always reg
ulated by the number of guests; and
some hostesses wish all their enter
tainments to be taken seriously, and
to be honored with evening dress
while others prefer informally. 1t
is the privilege of the hostess to settle
the question, if one arises. No guest
would care to appear at an evening
function in a business suit, to find
everybody else attired in full evening
costume, nor vice versa.

WISCONSIN REAPS
THE WHIRLWIND

The Denomination of some COM
munities in the Middle West, now
giving patriots so much concern, is
traced back several generations by
Sampel Hopkins Adams in an article
on disloya1ty and pro-Germanism in
Everybody's for January.
Back in the middle of the last
century, Wisconsin was extensively
advertised to Germany. Leaflets were
distributed through the Prussian vii
lagos urging young men and women
to seek liberty and opportunity offer
ed by the undeveloped riches of the
overseas commonwealth. AS a spec
ial inducement, it was represented
that immigrants would not be forced
to enter upon a new and alien civili-
cation, but might transport and es-
tablish, unchanged, their own leu
tonic culture, provided only that
enough of them responded to the
call. Press, schools. courts, legisla-
ture. in short, the state, would adopt
officially the German language.

No worse fate could bcfall q human being than to have his lot so
