Man Tested by Trials.

A mans dependability can be meas
ured by the way he takes accidentals.
The great mass of men can go along
serenely when everything goes ac-
cording to custom. But the appearance
of the accidental throws them out OF
balance. The same thing is true O,
life. So many fellows lose their
heads when they need them most.
Trouble in any quarter seems to flash
the red flag before them. The uh-
usnal unnerves them. Turmoil In the
comp becomes contagious and they bolt
when they should be the most steady.
It takes trials to test the man. ANY
one who goes wild with the appear
ance of the accidental can never be
trusted to meet life's real problems.

It would seem as II all Of the lovely
things designed for this years debu-
tante might be labeled after the good
old birthday fashions Of long ago !:
For a Good Little Girl" Certainly
the girls Of today have earned their
right to the most beautiful and the
most frivolous Of lovely clothes
through the faithful. unfagging and
untiring war services, observes fash
ion writer. Indeed the debutantes of
last year deserve special inning this
year. It used to be said one could tell
a debutante by her nice, clean little
white gloves which she wore through
out the evening, never removing them
even for supper; for q debutante Of
other days was q demure and timid
little soul who carefully refrained
from "unladylike" behavior, and GER
tainly she never "ate." she only nib
bled" at parties. Nowadays debutantes
wear no gloves and do not worry about
their finger tips.
New Dance Frocks Are Fairyiiks.
Some of the new dance frocks are
fairylike in their beauty, fashioned Of
clouds Of tulle and filmy lace showing
through the stun. The life Of tulle
frock Is just about one evening. !

a recent visit to a smart couturiere,
where six little dance frocks hung
waiting to be freshened for the next

frock is rather refreshing after the
more sophisticated ones of brocade and
tinsel which prospered for time. OF

seam not only on maturer models but
on the most youthful as well. One
maker has pailletted an underneath
layer of tulle with silver spangles
which show with just enough scintilla-
ton through the gauzy meshes.
Simplicity the Debutante's Note.
One expects the debutante to be
gowned with simplicity, and wise
mothers follow this rule in the choice
not only of the debuting gown but in
the selection of the greater part Of the
wardrobe as well. The simpler fabrics
such as chiffons and georgettes are
preferred to the heavier metallic bro
cade and velvets. The gowns of pastel
taffetas are lovely for informal occa-
sions. With these little things with
their long slender bodices, pointed in
front and fitted with sash In the
back, are worn tiny caps of the pastel
silk to match the dress. This is a
Partisan fashion just being shown
over here and suitable for theatre and
restaurant wear, Even in the smaller
cities young girls go about nowadays
to restaurants and cafes for the dane
ing, which seems to be more sought
than ever. 1t is for this occasion that
the taffeta frocks of the lovely pastel
shades and their accompanying cap
lets are worn.
The favored shade for evening wear
In the gay French city for the debu-
tante is emerald green. This is en-
chantingly combined with silver, and
l am sure we can search far and wide
before we can find a more beautiful
color scheme. Canary yellow is also
very much liked this year, but the
more pronounced shades are left for
older and more sedate people.
Tight Fitting Coats Are In.
The coat suit of the moment most
esteemed by the young girl has a
light fitting basque effect with rip
pied skirt. For very "dressy" wear
duvetyn suits In lighter shades Of
tan, gray or blue are much liked. All
Of the brown shades are so well liked

As Charlie Webster and l passed
out into the street l noticed the fell
low of the sinister pockmarked visage

ner office. The window was open, and
anyone standing outside could easily
have heard everything that passed
inside. AS the fellow caught my eye
he smiled unpleasantly and skunk off

Ne. Hes a queer-looking specimen"

half-witted than bad, perhaps. His

The New Prince OF Wales Coat.
A rumor from across the sea tells
us that new coat for the young girl
has been copied from one of the
Prince of Wales. Doubtless he will
wear such a coat in this country and
1t is just as well to know that tbs
English girls have adopted it as the
preferred winter wrap. The coat In

a large fur collar.
The same rumor says that the Sam
Brown belt, which was so much worn
by officers, accustomed men to their
waistline and now our new fall suits
with the funny little pinched-in waists
and flaring coat skirts are an indirect
outgrowth of the officers belted fash
ion. One of our American officers
says that the British stopped the war
every day at 4:30 to have tea, and
always puttees and Sam Brown belts
were carefully removed for this mo-
ment of relaxation and refreshment.
Who would have thought that our
winter suits would still pay tribute to
the glorious men who have added a
new lustre to England's name? Tc
women much is given, and because OF
the pleasing origin Of the ripple coat
with its narrow and pinched waist
am sure 1t will be proudly and unbiqui-
tously worn.

Tailored Frock for Street Wear
Popularity Of the one-Piece Frock De
mands the Garment in Every
Won,an's Wardrobe.

The tailored frock for street wear
is the most important garment to be
chosen during the early days Of either
spring or fall. For several seasons
the two-piece suit has enjoyed a rath-
er doubtful vogue. while the one-piece
frock has gained in favor each sue
ceeding season since 1t made its In
itial appearance. The two-piece suit
Is really an expensive garment, no
natter what it costs when purchased,
for the reason that innumerable
blouses must be purchased also. and
during the past two seasons the pos
session Of two-piece suit has meant
the purchase of several separate vests
as well. The one-piece frock only re-
auires at the most fresh collar and
cuffs to complete it, and very often not
even these. In addition to these rec
concentrations, the one-piece frock Is

becoming that no woman considers
