BLACK BLOUSE, SMART FANCY
Garments Beauty Is Enhanced by
Pleasing Addition Of Laces, Braids
and Embroideries.

The black blouse, one of the smart
fancies of the season, is shown in many
interesting and artistic forms. OF
course, some of the models are for
morning, but even these are notice
ably lighter In general effect than u.s.
ual. Little round fuckers and Byron
collars of fine white batiste are per-
missible on the mourning models.
The use of metal laces, braids and
embroideries is one of the pleasing
features of the season in the lineup of
trimmings. A lovely black georgette
blouse recently shown is embroidered
in deep border about the bottom,
narrow bands on the short sleeves and
at the neck, with gold roses and silver
leaves.
A girdle of silver and gold cord
twisted together is charming finish.
In the showing of black biouses,
models Of Chantilly lace made over a
lining of white so as to bring out the
rich pattern of the lace, are very hand
some and dressy.
Both Paris and America continue to
pay a great deal of attention TO the
long blouse, although in America
blouse makers declare that waist
length models insistently hold first
place and that when over-the-skirt
models are favored the hip-length type
takes the lead.
A lovely long blouse recently shown
is a purple velvet, cut on Russian
smock lines, embroidered heavily with
cerise-colOred wool.

yard at the dress trimmings counters
In most Of the big shops. but making
it at home of ribbon that exactly
matches the dress 1t is to trim Is a
very simple matter.
A frock, designed for either street
or afternoon wear, features ribbon
fringe as it's principal trimming. This
dress may be made of brown satin or
very fine soft velours and trimmed
with embroidered motifs in black and
with black fringe and girdle, or the
fringe may match the frock proper
with black belt and touches of black
In the embroidery. The skirt is narrow
and cut ankle length. The bodice fast
ems inyisibly at one side.
If designed for street wear, long
gloves should, of course, be worn, or
the sleeves should be wrist length. The
French designers continue to favor
ultra short sleeves for out-of-doors
frocks and suits, but American fash
ion authorities have not made very
much of an effort to push this style
and it is doubtful if American women
would accept it.
The hat worn with this costume is
one of the approved soft draped mod
els, really an overgrown "tam." 1t
would be smart fashioned of black
velvet.

we plunged on, to the seething sound

music to sleep to and, for all my scorn
OF sleeping landsmen, an irresistible

My nap came TO an end suddenly
as though some one had flung me out

morning star divinely naked In the

Consequently, all her chiffon things

DRESSFOR WINTER
Modish Outfit Attractive With
Fringe Trimming. !,
Marrow Ribbon May Be Effectively
Used; Satin, FalIle or Velvet,
According to Choice.

Style authorities continue to flirt
with fringe in the general lineup of
dress trimmings. Many smart winter
frocks will feature this type Of decora-
ton and the greatest possible variety
OF fringes shown. Jet is prime ia
vorite both for daytime and evening
dress trimming. Silk fringes Of all
sorts are used, and one Of the very
new fancies is for fringe made Of very
narrow ribbon. The ribbon may be
satin, faille or velvet, according to
choice, and It may be as wide or as
harrow as the individual taste dictates.
Ribbon fringe may be bought by the

CARE OF CLOTHES IMPORTANT
chiffons and Georgettes Should Be
Folded Away in Paper In Long,
Roomy Boxes.

Certain things about their clothes
some women will never learn. But
the chief thing to be remembered by
a woman who has neither personal
maid nor plenty of large roomy clos
cts is that she is foolish to possess
an extensive wardrobe. A small ward
robe, well chosen. mended and care
fully hung. is worth a dozen large
ones crowded into small spaces and
left to take care of themselves.
One of the worst dressed girls in
New York has an income of $4,000 a
year, says the New York Sun. She
buys all her clothes ready made from
expensive shops, and puts them all
on hangers-sufts, chiffon, evening
dresses, fur coats. wraps and georgette
blouses together, on one rod in one
clothes pressl She has five shelves
full of shoes and slippers and II
shelves of hats, but boxes. tissue pa
per and bags are unknown to her.

FAVOR TW0-PIEcE NEGLIGEE
Garment Regarded Very Economical
as Either Half May BE Renewed
When Required.

The two-piece negligee, general
favorite, is really a very economical
garment, as either half may be re-
newed as required. Radical style
changes in boudoir apparel are few
and far between.
Very artistic negligees are shown
this season Of printed chiffons and
silk voile combined with plain selma
teria1, satin or taffeta. Velvet is also
used effectively In the development of
these items Of intimate apparel. One
two-piece garment recently shown had
skirt and sleeves of printed chiffon
in autumn colorings with quaint square
cut coat of black velvet. reaching half
way between waist and knees.
Color selection is the important
point In planning garments for boudoir
wear. AS styles vary but little. great
diversity is practically impossible. but
a woman may choose the most daring
color combinations and effects imagin-
able. Vivid colors are quite the rage
for boudoir garments this season, many
Of the combinations used being sug-
gestive Of old paintings.
A gorgeous garment recently shown
by woman designer was straight and
smocklike, reaching from neck to
ankles in an unbroken line. 1t was
Of rich rose velvet banded In purple
velvet, and this band was embellished
with embroidery done in heavy wool
in peculiar purplish hue. Another
unusual garment. cut on simple XII
mono lines, was made Of madonna
blue taffeta lined with petunia pink
taffeta.

strategy. He can feign death with
the success of an opossum playing
the same game, and this he does when

Creative Ability.

In our office we draw very distinct
line between designs or sketches and
working drawings, and 1t is, In my
opinion, fatal to try to measure de-
signer's ability by the number of hours
it would take him to produce sketch.
That is work that requires creative
imagination, and our designers are not
Judged by the amount of time they put
into the solution of an architectural
problem. but solely by the results
which they obtain, irrespective OF cost,
so that this part Of the work does not
come under this category. Only after
sketches have been approved, and the
work is turned over to general drafts
men to be developed into working
drawings, can we begin to apply scien-
tific methods In accomplishing the diff
ferent ends.-Sunbeams.

vivid, he cursed dem boys" that had
stolen from him priceless crystal
which once had belonged to his old
royal mother, who, before him, had
had the same gift of the spirit. But,
he added-turning to a table by his
side, and lifting from 1t large cut
glass decanter Of considerable capac-
ity, though at present void of con-
tents-that he had found that gazing
into the large glass ball of its stopper
produced almost equally good results
at times.
First he asked me to be kind enough
to shut the door.
We had to be very quiet, he de-
clared; the spirit could work only In
deep silence. And he asked me to be
kind enough to close my eyes. Then
heard his voice muttering, In q
strange tongue, queer dark gobbling

the decanter stopper. So we sat silent
for suppose some ten minutes. Then

Opening my eyes 1 saw him slowly
shaking his head.
"De spirits don't seem communicable

decanter slightly on one side and OBJ
serving it drearily.

asked with as serious a face as
could assume, "the spirits might work
better-if the decanter were to be
flled?"
"Mebbe, sar; mebbe. Spirits is Gu

"What kind of inspiration do you
think gets the best results, your mai

"Well, sar, can't say as dey is very

'They shall have it," said.

seer's invitation to join him and the
spirits In a friendly libation.
Them having closed my eyes-we
began again, and 1t was astonishing
with what rapidity the thick-coming
pictures began to crowd upon that In
ner vision with which the Lord had en-
dowed his faithful follower!
OF course l was inclined now to take
the whole thing as an amusing impos-
ture; but presently, watching his face
and the curious Seeing expression of
his eyes, and noting the exactitude Of
one or two pictures, began to feel
that, however much he might be In
venting or celebrating there was some
substratum of truth in what he was
telling me.
The first pictures that came to him
were merely pictures, though astonish-
ingly clear ones, of Webster's boat, the
