UP-T0-DATE TABLE SERVICE
More Favorable Comment From Dain.
tiness Than From Amount
of Solid Food.

The hostess who would be smart
and modern must keep up with all the
latest notions anent table service and
food garnishing. A square meal well
cooked is well enough in its way:
more mportant-vastly more impor-
tant-is the service thereof, and few
light edibles perfectly served will give
that hostess a higher reputation
among her women friends, at least,
than any amount Of good solid food
minus the little touches that bespeak
up-to-dateness.
For instance, the butter knife Is an
obsolete affair; almost as obsolete as
the ancient soup ladle no more seen
on the modern dinner table. Soup is
served In plates by the maid--no
tureen or ladle are In evidence.
AS for butter, the little squares or
cubes-now much smarter than roly-
poly butter balls-are taken up with a
dainty silver two-pronged fork, or
"butter pick" The same little fork
may be used at tea hour for picking
I'D lemon slices for the teacups.
Small silver butter spreaders are
still correct at the individual places
and the smartest butter plates now
are of silver, plain and rather fiat.

No housewife now is completely
happy until she has coaxed a set of
silver vegetable dishes from her bet

one of those stunning silver plate

grooved out in the center, like the old
Sheffield plate meat platters.
In solid silver these table belong

Is not to be despised and neat and
vegetable dishes of good plate are
found in many well-appointed homes.

DAME NATURES LITTLE JOKE
Old Lady Seems to Have Played "a
vorites In Arranging Some Gil
matte Conditions.

Nature plays a cruel joke in the DIFF
ference of altitude of India and I1oet.
Had they been reversed one would
have said that it was providentlai
arrangement. The traveller who crosses
the Himalayas from Cashmere has TO
climb nearly twice as much as the trav-
eler who comes from the north. De
cause while India averages only per
haps 100 feet above sen level. llpe'
averages 1900 feet, and for TINS rea-
son Is called the Roof of the World.
Now, had India had this elevation
south of the mighty range or the him
o,ovas. and thus shielded from the
north. as well as nearer to the equa-
tor her climate would probably nave
been as temperate as Britain, and one
of the healthiest in the world. Whlie
had Tibet lain as low as india, IN
stead of being the dreariest, most IN
bospitable of lands, it would, by rea-
con of its latitude, be one OF the most
bahitable countries in the world.

WAIST LINES PART IN SUIT

Apparel of This Season-Recalls
Some Old Styles.

The waist line this season plays
quite an important part In the dress

below the natural curve Of the body,
or it may snugly accent the slender
line with which nature usually rounds
the figure.

when little round lace collars, similar
to those which are worn today, were
much in vogue. This long. straight
style is as becoming to the slender
rounded figure as 1t is to the well-de.
veloped matron.
When the girdle Is at the natural
waist line 1t is apt to be fitted rather
snugly, outlining the figure with easy
grace. The skirt may be made with
a full ripple peplum which flares out
beyond the hips, or with gathered
tunic, at any rate whatever the mode
of the skirt, this style or girdle is
almost always becoming.

French Miliners Inaugurate Style
Hailed as Omen of Lavish
Season of Old.

French milliners have shown the eff
feet of the dawn of peace more In the
creation of their elaborate and ornate
head-dresses than in anything else, for
these ornaments are so essentially a
luxury and intended to be worn only
with the most sumptuous of gowns.
The most costly fabrics have been
employed in their making, and French
pearls are used in large quantities.
Paradise branches finish the ends of
many Of these pearl bandeaux, and
heavy cloths of gold and silver are
bound about the heads, hardly show
Ing the hair.
Many of these head-dresses or ban
deaux were worn showing the elab-
Orate use of paradise. Some bandeaux
Of silver or gold braid supported a

rich banding standing high about the

WRAPS FOR WINTER

The big ulster coat has developed

1t was cut out to do and is extreme

they range over the whole gamut. The
thick pile fabrics are being made up
In gorgeous plaids, and the Partisan de-
signers have made most interesting
combinations of plaids and plain ma
terials in the construction Of coats.
You will see a plain taupe lower sec
ton combined with an upper portion
Of taupe and dull green and brown,
making large-patterned plaid. An
other combination uses the plaid mere

most prohibitively high in price. When
furs are worn they seem much more
lavish than ever before. The coats are
big and roomy. Kolinsky is popular
variety of fur and the deepness and
richness of its brown tones make it
almost universally a becoming shade.
Then there are the dyed rabbit skins,
which have come into favor not only
for deep collars and cuffs used on
coats and suits of wooden materials
but also for whole coats. The ermine
coats for evening are more beautiful
than ever and those of sable rival the
nantes of queens. Goat skin, long
and silky, has been dyed and used for
fur trimming. The favorite shade Is
gray.
The wraps for evening indulge in
color to the last degree, and it is here
that the metal brocades and the vel
vet brocades are used to their best
advantage. The wraps are cut out
of long square pieces and little or no
shaping is given to them. All Of their
style comes in the draping.

bound at the edges with colored braid.
The board is finished off at the edges
with wooden cord to match the braid.
For hanging the pockets upon the

the nature shown In sketch A, and
screw them on at the back of the
board in the positions shown in

Suitable hooks, with screws for fas-
tening them on, can be obtained for a
