A Daily Fashion Told by Florence Rose

4 Daily Fashion Told by Florence Rose
TI1ERE is true economy in striped
J. material.
For although il may require more
material 10 cut out n certain froCk from
goods with stripes. especially large
stripes. than from plain goods, still so
much can be done by way of self trim
ming when stripes are used that there
is still economy in this type of material.
Paris has been rather more daring
than We have in the use of stripes,
There have been suits and coats made
of striped woolen fabrics and many silk
frocks of striped dcsigu-largc unmis-
taxable stripes, too. But the striped
cottons and silks for spring will find
advocates among we'll dressed women on
this side of the Atlantic. You can al
ways tell what is going to be worn
generally in spring and summer by
what is worn by the conservative folk
at the southern winter resorts. Aud
there ono secs any number of striped
silk aud cotton fabrics. There are
frocks oC wash silk in narrow and me
dium stripes and then there are various
charming ginghams that are made iuto
dresses to be used for general utility
morning wear. For gingham, if it ever
was regarded as a fabric suitable only
for the house, porch or garden, has very
decidedly graduated from that class.
In the sketch is one of the new ging
ham frocks-the Sort that you might
now find at the southern resorts and
will see some time after Christmas dis -
played in the shops for advance spring
| wear.
/ You can see to what clever account
| the stripes have been put, almost the
entire trimming depending on the way
they are used. The two rows of three
| buttons on the front of the bodice offer
| the only other trimming
And note the sleeves--they are short
but not of the extremely short sort that
were launched in Paris last summer
and that have been taken up rather
cautiously by women over here Tho
things that have their origin in Paris
the short sleeves have undergone some
modification in the hands of the Amer
lean designers. And on many of the
smartcst advance models for summer
and spring YOU will see these sleeves
that come slightly below the elbow. ToI
day time wear they are more 90 the
taste Of the AmPricam woman than the
sleeves that end above the elbow.

MiHcO MarrIanrH

Anxious Nivian--Two letters have
come to the column recently front Young
girls who are ProteStauts aud who are
in love with Catholic young men. Both
want to know il they will be happy with
Il difference in religion and one wishes
to insist that the Young men change.
These things depend entirely on the
people. There have been mixed mar
rIages that have turned out happily,
if each one has refr8ineG from inter
ferlng with the religion of the other.
and if the promises in regard to the
children are kept But there have been
very many unhappy marriages where
n difference in religion exists. Further
more, the Protestant in the case has to
be married by n priest and has to prom
Use to bring the possible children up as
Catholics. 1t is well TO know this and
thiuk II out well before entering into
an engagement and marriage.
1t never does TO insist on person 5
changing his or her belief either way,
unless he or she eau conscicntiousIy
do so.

Use q good facial soap every night,

ice treatment, rubbing the face with ice
followed by cold cream, to make your
pores smaller.

terra Gotta georgette crepe beaded
in black. There are possibilities in this
dress. If the blouse is made separate
it can have a substitute of black lace

the formal dinner, the informal eve

party, or a more elaborate variation of
the afternoon tea gown.

/ HAVE all sorts of last minute
4 Christmas things to tell you about
today. One is for the Christmas stock
ing. It is one of those fascinating baby
tanks, You know, they are tiny re
productions of the real war tanks, with
cork on the bottom, attached to which
is, rubber, BY very simple process
the cork becomes taut aud the little
tank goes numbering over the floor l
hear that it will even climb over any
distractions in its path. These toys
were exceedingly popular last year, and
l was glad to find a shop where they
can be had this year for thirty cents.
And then another present for little
girls is q patent leather pocketbook
adorned with brightly colored worsted
flowers. You have seen these for grown
ups, no doubt, but the ones I. write of
gre just the size for Mistress Mar
iorie. and are priced at $t50. A brand
new supply Of them is expected in TO
day, but so well liked are they It is
lhlpVSblul' w h'ep I0em IN STOCK, SO
you had better see about them at once.
Now If this isn't bargain, don't
know what is-a twenty five piece
luncheon set trimmed with cluny lace,
for $3.50 Think of it, There are n
limited number Of these sets. 7 can
think of few things that would make a
nicer Christmas gift:
Then there are lovely hand made
! chains for $3-not the sort YOU would
| be likely TO see on most anybody, but
unusually artistic necklaces, fashioned
| by the sbillful hands of very clever
woman. They are made Of richly col t.
ored silk cord on which are strung
queerly shaped beads modelled from clay
and hand painted in deep colors. There
is but one shop in the city where they
may be purchased.
| Then for the "woman who has every .
thing" how about a plant? I know of
florist who is making speciality of
artistcaIly shaped vases filled with
lovely Christmasy green leaves, and
budding pleutifully with clusters of
bright 'red berries. Even without a
card with n single word, they carry an
unmistakabe Christmas message. You
can get them in various sizes, with
prices beginning at $3.50.
