COPY WAIsTcoATs OF MEN
Garments Donned by Fastidious Beaux
Of Other Days Now Charming
Fashion for Women.

Waistcoats and waistcoat blouses
are among the newest fashions from
Paris, and are one more of the many
charming old-fashioned modes which
have been adapted to present-day
styles. This particular fashion was
taken from the clothes worn, not by
the women, but by the men of long
ago, for waistcoats of varied and bril-
liant fabrics were the garments most
delighted in by the fastidious beaux
Of other days.
No less varied and fanciful are the
waistcoats of today. They are made
in the most delicate of chiffOns, as
well as in such wool materials as these
times offer. Some of them consist of
a front section of metal brocade which
shows only when the coat is open, and
others are made like a blouse, with
sleeves of chiffon or crepe de chine,
and with back and front of brocade or
satin.
Waistcoats of this kind are worn
with suit, and when the coat is open
they look much more substantial and
effective than the ordinary blouse.
Without the coat they make one
piece costume of the suit, and one
is not aware of any lack of harmony
such as usually results from the use
of an ordinary blouse and the suit
skirt.

and in various color combinations,
these jaunty little sets.
One set consists of turban, with
just the top of the crown of kolinsky,
while the lower part of the turban is
swathed with velvet in a charming old
blue tone, the velvet terminating in a
large loop at the left side toward the
back. A large crushed band of the
velvet edged at the top with narrow
band of the kolinsky forms the col.
larette, which also terminates in a
large bow at the left side towards the
back. The muff is made of the blue
velvet and kolinsky. A wide band of

fabric forms the sides. one end OF

WHEN THE HAT DOES NOT FIT
lily Adjusted Headgear Furnishes
Enough Discomfort to Make
Woman Look Her Worst.

If you can help it, never go out
wearing hat which does not fit the
head. There is enough discomfort
in it, observes a fashion writer, to
to make any woman look her worst.
When. we met EIoise the other day
her face was so full of distress we
asked anxiously If she were i'll, or
worried; or only tired ''None of
those things" she exclaimed, tragic
ally, "but I've hat on that seems
TO stand up and caper over my head,
instead of sitting there decently and
in order. Hurt, of course it does;
hurts my head and my vanity-to
say nothing of the wear and tear on
my temper"
Surely nothing could be more
smart and yet more conservative in
every detail than semi-tailored hat
Of tobacco-brOwn velvet. This simple,
round shape is effectively trimmed
with tan-colored quill placed around
the crown of the hat. and above this
is arranged n band of French squirrel
feather edge in the same coloring as
the quill and hat. This softens the
line Of the hat and really adds 10 the
practically of the trimming.

TO BEAUTIFY FIGURED STUFF
Work Coin Spots and Other Designs
Solid in Matching Silk-Adds
Richness to Dress.

Her frock was an extremely unso-
phisticated thing, and yet it had a
charm about it that was instantly ar
resting. 1t must have been due to that
''little touch of handwork." For with
out it the frock would have been just
plain, ordinary coin-spotted voile.
But with every coin spot worked solid
in a matching silk, it attained to posi-
tive richness.
Has it ever occurred to you little
lady of the needle, that you can do
perfect wonders with printed stuffs?
Flower motifs, for instance, have
charming possibilities for treatment
with silk. Probably, though, you won't
want to decorate q whole dress; that
is, at first. But you might begin on q

ABOUT our Wells
Face Coverings Abandoned by
the Women of Paris.
"Flu" Mask, Is Being Worn by
American Women.

The story comes from Paris that
women have abandoned the veil. They
are tired of it. They have taken to
cartwheel hats and do not wish to de-
stroy the outline of the brim by the
folds of face covering.
There are women over here, howev-
er, writes a fashion correspondent,
recently returned from Paris, who are
wearing the most curious veil America
has seen. 1t is attached to a turban;
1t is as thick as the heaviest coarse
net can be woven, and it is drawn
tight around the eyes and the top of
the nose, leaving the neck and lower
part of the face bare. It is the best
imitation of a masque that we have
had so far, and it is intimated that it
was taken from the influenza mask
which was worn over the lower part
of the face. One of our own design
ers of eccentricities has produced a
genuine influenza mask of dyed lace
which is drawn upward over the chin
and nose to the back of the head. The
French one is more seductive and CO.
quettish.
In America we are addicted to wells.
We wear them at all seasons, whether
or not we know how to adjust them.
The reason for their diminished fash
ion during the last year is due to the
war activities of the great mass of
women. First, veil takes q long
;,,oN ko od 1c4 should no
or not at all and, secondly. it is not a
good addition to uniform caps. So the
veil dropped out, except among a GER
tain segment of fashionables who
would feel ashamed of their naked
ness, as they say, if they went with
out it. The hurry and furry of life
has not allowed much time for leisure
ly dressing, and although the veil was
insisted upon by the shops during the
Influenza epidemic, the doctors thought
It was extremely harmful and injuri-
Gus. They knew what the shops evi-
IDENTIFY did not know, that an influenza
mask must be washed every three
hours in a disinfectant. The ex-
treme danger in the. veil rested in the
| fact that it was not washed for days
at time, If ever.
For those who wear the veil, the mil

PRODUCING a trifle which has gained
much prestige. 1t is an arrow, an
aviator's wings, a dagger or the 1eur
de-lis done in jewels. This catches
the veil at the extreme upper tilt OF

1t has been the jewel of the war

into a refrigerator it has mission
to perform. 1t is required to take the
heat out of other material TO preserve
food products and it must dissipate it
self in the process, while ice. is placed
in the ice house to stay, to be pre-
served until wanted for use.
An open shed will preserve ice, or
it may be piled up in field and kept
all summer by simply putting cover
over it to keep off the rain and an
inner cover of sawdust to keep out
the air. Such a crude way of keeping
ice is necessarily wasteful, but not to
the extent popularly supposed.
Roof Must Be Tight.
1t is quite possible to put cube of
ice twelve feet through in eheapIy
constructed building and so pack it
with sawdust as to keep it in a very
satisfactory way until wanted during
the summer months. The roof must
be tight because water dropping often
in the same spot will bore hole
through the sawdust covering down
to the ice; warm air will follow and
we all know that air must be kept
away from ice or it will melt rapidly.
Drainage is another very important
consideration. The bottom must be

TRIMMING FOR VELVET GOWNS
Rich Material Admits Of combina-
tion Of coIors Which Add to
the Midwinter Outfit.

To trim velvet with anything seems
almost unnecessary, so perfect are the
folds of this fabric themselves. How
ever, on the lighter velvet gowns
make a combination Of colOrs; for in
stance, the tunic Of wonderful
frock OF Alice blue velvet Is faced
with canary yellow charmeuse. An
other gown Of gray velvet carries a
tint of rose in the facing of the wide
velvet, the curly black pelts of Per-
sian lamb contrast most perfectly.
On a gown Of gray velvet. which is ex-
quisite for formal afternoon and eve
ming wear. the priceless chincilla or
the more approachable squirrel find
their best setting. A dress Of henna
velvet is given a touch of vivid blue.
Usually the vibrant note is struck In
the contrast. Again. the tones may
be more sympathetic as in the trim
ming OF dark blue with gray or with
old blue.

Material to Be Favorite, Taking

Like the well-loved perennials of

thority. our old friend foulard will
again be favorite when fur coats are
laid aside. Many of the dresses and
suits designed for early spring wear
show trimmings and Innings Of
foulard. A simple sport coat of blue
gabardlne is given quite dashing
touch by its vest Of dotted foulard-
white dots on blue ground. This
vest Is, In reality. the front of one Of
the new long-skirted peplum blouses,
which are designed for wear with

Cloth of Gold for Hats.

A good deal of cloth of gold is now
being used in dress hats. 1t is most
generally seen yelled with maline in
order TO dun the bright effect, and ap-
pears most popular when used under
maline of brown or black. Another nov
city for use in women's hats is a satin
about is inches wide and stitched with
silk floss in rows about quarter Of
an inch apart. This effect is seen in
sand on brown, Chinese blue on black,
and jade on black, and is especially
adaptable for draped turbans, crowns
and facings.

made Of contrasting colOrs and ma

NEWEST HANDBAG is OF FUR
Convenience Matches the Muff, Toque
or Trimming Of coat--Many
Other Striking Designs.

indeed, 1t is muff and handbag COM

new. as It was introduced couple
OF years ago.
Then there are the lovely bags of
chiffon velvet or velours made with
dull silver settfngs-not too much of
the metal, and the metal not too
bright and shiny. Some of these bags
are the ones with the octagonal or
oval top that clamps down at one
side, faced with really good mirror.
And the bit of chased silver is the
framework OF the top, and of course
the metal clasp. as well, is of the sill

air-tight, but it must be porous enough
to allow water to percolate through
For this reason base formed of rough
stones covered with cinders and the
cinders covered with foot of saw
dust makes a good bottom. A very
satisfactory substitute is made by
laying small round poles in the bottom
of the ice house covered with straw
and the straw covered with sawdust
about foot deep.
There is a good deal in packing the
ice in the house to make it keep well.
1t should be put in during cold wealth
er and all the chinks carefully filled
with broken ice and the whole mass
well frozen together by pouring on
water. BY doing this very carefully
the Ice can be frozen together almost
solid so the air will all be forced out.
There should be a space of foot
between the ice and the sides of the
house all around and this foot filled
in with sawdust tamped down. The

better.
Must Have Attention.
A great deal of ice is lost during
the spring months when the weather
| is getting warm, but not warm enough
to require the use of ice in the re-
frigerator. During these weeks the
ice house is forgotten, and it meits
a little and settles. The settling proc
| ess opens cracks in the wet sawdust
and some of these cracks will extend
| through to the Ice. After the house
is filed and covered with sawdust it
| should have attention at least once
, a week. If the sawdust is kept packed
down well all around and on top the
ice cannot melt very much.
| There are other details to think
about, such as ventilation and shade.
1t is great help to have the house
shaded by a large tree or another
building. When the sun beats down
hot on top of the roof the temperature
inside the building is great deal
higher than it would be with the roof
| shaded.
In choosing the location convent
ence in using the ice should be con-
sidered in preference to convenience
in filling the ice house, because the
filling Is done in a day or two where
as the unloading process occupies sew
eral months and requires innumeral,le
trips between the kitchen and the ice
house.

Rosettes of Velvet.

Large puffed rosettes of velvet,
which were very popular as trimmings
in millinery circles late last fall, are
again being seen. On extremely large
hats this trimming is placed at the
front, while for the smaller shapes it
is used at the side or back. Often
the rosettes correspond in color with
the facing of the hat. Another fea-

increasing call for blue hats. Sew
