Short Barrel Wraps for Girls

! Our girls will wear short barrel wraps when going to dance teas or long cape wraps if specially dainty frock is to be worn. Now that after noon entertainments are so fashion able 1t is most convenient to have smart wraps which are so warm that they can be worn, comfortably, over crepe de chine or chiffon dresses.
 Fichu-capes in fur are novel and practical. I have seen them in sQuir- rel-one of the most fashionable short haired furs of the year-and also in musQuash and ermine. One model, worn by Robinne at an afternoon con- cert, was made of the latter fur. There were no tails and the fichuN ends were finished with broad black mOire rib bons, tied in a big loose bow at the back.
 The fichu was crossed in front and 1t boasted high Medici collar, which made an ideal frame for Robinne's lovely face. Short, straight ties-very wide and supple-are fastened In front with laced ribbons. Other models are fastened with big fur buttons and silken loops. Cecile Sorel has intro duced a short shawl In ermine, which

SOME NEW PARIS
 IDEAS IN GOWNS

Here are two sketches of a costume which may truthfully be called "the newest of the new" writes a leading Paris fashion correspondent. It is a Premet model and it represents all that Is original and novel in the Paris world of dress. Here you have the true Louis XIV outline. A robe made of taffetas in two shades of peacock blue, mounted over a black lace under dress and finished with a plain, tight fitting corsage.
 This corsage fastens, almost invisi- bly,. down the back and it is important to observe that the neck opening is quite unexpected. In front 1t is cut round while at the back there Is q peak, ending in small bow. This Is one of Premet's new ideas and this particular model has had great sue cess. It will be copied widely and in many different materials.
 You will see that the skirt is made in two parts, one side in pale blue silk and the other in a darker shade. The corsage is in the light color. with cuffs of darker blue. Absolutely no trimming is introduced on the corsage. This is an idea which is generally fol lowed by the leading dressmakers of the Rue de la Paix. Nowadays one rarely sees an elaborately trimmed bodice, and many of the more expen- sive models are plain, as indicated in the sketch.
 It is very important to realize that these fitted corsages are worn over what may be called "a natural corset;" that Is to say, there is no indication of a small waist, the outline is intention ally boyish and for this reason it Is youthful. If you have seen the jackets worn by French fencing masters you will realize at once the effect which our great dressmakers wish to obtain
 Stiffened at the Sides.
 The Premet model was slightly stiff fened at the sides, right on the hips, and the silken material was gathered at the waist. The corsage was sepa- rate, though 1t looked as though it were attached to the skirt.

Cover with icing which is colored with bit of the strained cranberry juice.
 Chocolate Potato Cake.-Blend well two-thirds of a cupful of shortening and two cupfuls of sugar; add two- thirds of a cupful of grated chocolate and one of warm mashed potatoes, one cupful each of seeded raisins and chopped nuts, half a cupful of milk and two and one-half cupfuls of flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, four eggs, yolks and whites beaten separately; half. teaspoonful each of cloves and nutmeg, and tea spoonful of cinnamon.

 This shawl was only long enough to cover the hips, and 1t was worn quite carelessly, thrown open in front and gathered up over the arms. just as our great-grandmothers used to wear their cashmere shawls.
 I have seen a great many hand painted flowers on the new millinery there is a special preparation which makes them comparatively rainproof and the colors are very lovely. Kid is used for all sorts of unexpected pur- poses: for painted and embroidered handbags, for waistcoats, cuffs, hat crowns, collars on tailored suits, etc.
 Waistcoats with elaborate buttons are demanding constant attention. It is the moment of wafstcoats and never have I seen more lovely buttons than those shown at the present moment. One of the successful novelties takes the form of triangular buttons made of ivory and inset with tiny steel facets and flat ivory buttons trimmed in jet. A valuable set of six buttons is consid- cred an ideal present for a bride or for favortte niece on her birthday.

Sherman's March to the Sea.

On November 16, in 1864, General Sherman began his march from Atlan- ta to the sea.

The troops. 6O,OOO in number. lived on the country through which they passed. There was little blOodshed through out the march, but the area through which the army passed was utterly denuded.
