BLoUsEs WORN BY GRANDMA
Dark Taffeta Waists to Match Tail-
 pred Suits in Color Were Prime FaVorites.

Our grandmothers wore dark taffeta waists to match their tailored suits in color. This was considered smart as well asa practical fashion at that time. This season sees taffeta blOuSes again the mode, but now they are of the short overblouse variety that quite eclipse all others in hip fullness by having narrow, fiuted ruffies from the waistline to the bottom of the blouse.
 The tops as well as the bottoms of blouses show evidence of the design CTS efforts to produce new and star tling effects. Just why many makers of clothes are trying so hard to launch the high collar nobody knows. It is apparent, however, that th"ir efforts are not meeting any marked degree of success. probably because women find the collarless bodice so comfort able that they are unwilling to dis card it for high f1aring collar which is uncomfortable despite it's smart ness
 Some of the new silk blOuses have plaited ruffs faring about the ears after the manner of the wired collars that Madeleine ct Madeleine brought out early in the autumn. One bodice Of brown crepe, has a plaited ruff of the silk encircled by a narrow suede cravat.

 The exterior of the stand can be treated in two ways. It can be just vanished and left to dry, or it can be covered with gold paint.
 Stands of this kind look very pretty, too, with little ferns planted in them, and when used for that purpose no bowl or basin is, of course, required.

NEW DEMAND FOR RIBBONS
,Vestees Incorporated in Garments, Ac- counts for Suit Manufacturers
 Entering Trade.

Statesmen now on the road with ribbon lines are sending in good orders and the trade as a whole is described as being in healthy condition. Pro- duction still fails to come up to what manufacturers desire, and the record prices of raw silk are giving a very firm tone to ribbon values. While the call from the bag trade is not as active as it was, the loss in this di- rection is more than made up by the business coming from the suit trade. Vestees are no longer separate arti- cles, but are incorporated in garments, which accounts for the entrance of the suit manufacturers into the ribbon
 trade for the first time in several

Novel Handle for Your Rao.

A chain which will be very fetching upon black bag is one which is easily and cheaply made. Get num- Der of the smallest white bone rings and connect them with loops of black silk braid. These loops should be about an inch in length. The black and-white costume will be very smart in spring, and if you are going to have one of these costumes, black taffeta bag with this sort of chain
 fastened to the top will give an effect which is chic. Of course a bag of navy blue or gray would lend itself to this sort of handle treatment also.

TO BE YEAR OF TRIMMINGS
Stitched Embroidery Has New Lease
 of Life-WooI Decorations in High Favor.

Garments of all kinds promise to be much trimmed this spring, perhaps be- cause except in, few extreme models the silhouette is not so different from that of the late winter.
 Stitched embroidery is as good as if not better than ever. Very often it serves to quiltthin fabrics into sem- blance of weight Thus a gilet of sev- eral thicknesses of white China silk Is quilted with navy blue stitching and makes a very lovely front to a navy blue tricotine suit Stitching of plain fabrics in all-over designs and. con- trasting threads is novel way of get ting that desired contrast of mate rial.
 Fringes are not so ubiquitous as at this time last year. Very narrow wool fringe is being applied to taffeta frocks of the quaint, full-skirted type.
 Wool embroidery and appliqued wool crocheted flowers are another sort of trimming which the season indorses. This is particularly good on khaki-kopl and similar sports silks for pocket trimming, with the bright <wools re- peated in woven girdle and heavy tas- selS
 Two-tone satins, changeable on the right side, and showing a second color on the wrong side, are turned back in narrow bands. This is an economic trimming.
 And in speaking of trimming it would never do to ignore the brushed wool, lambs wool and Angora trim mings. They are being used wherever possible, even on the strictly tailored dress or suit. It is the seasons big gest contribution to novelty, if not to practicality.

GAY TOCCERY AT
 DANCES IN PARIS
Wealth of Beautiful Color Is Ex- pressed in Clothes of the
 Richly Attired Women.
JABOT DRESSES IN EVIDENCE
Outfit Is Striking for Afternoon Wear; Almost Gaudy Silks Combined in Wonderful Way With
 Other Material.

The popularity of the dansant and the revival Of the tango in Paris have had a remarkable influence on dress, writes a French fashion correspond ent. The smart places where people gather for afternoon dancing have be- come centers of fashion. There are those who do not go to dance but simply to study the clothes, not only for the styles themselves, but for the wealth of beautiful color that is ex- pressed in many of them, for this dancing craze has been the means of introducing unusual colorings of Span ish origin into our clothes.
 Jabot dresses are still very strong feature in Paris fashions; one sees an endless number of them at after noon dances. The jabot skirt, when topped by a simple little bodice, makes a remarkably pretty afternoon dress. Tn fact, nothing could be more attrac- tive than such a model when devel- oped in soft, clfnging fabric. But all have not these modest corsages. There are extreme ones having sleeve less bodices almost as decollete as an evening gown.
 One worn recently at a tea dance in Paris, too extreme to be worn by American women as an afternoon dress, would make charming infor- nal dinner frock. The original is de- veloped in black satin and silver lace, the lace forming the jabot cascade down the sides of the draped skirt. A straight piece of the lace goes about the figure to make an under portion for the surplice bodice of black satin.
 Old FaVorites in New Patterns.
 A great many beautiful new fabrics have large designs printed in bright colors. The fashion for having frocks made to match coat Things, which prevailed during the past winter, no doubt had great deal to do with the development and elaboration of silks that were similar to the materials which we have been wont to employ as Things for wraps only. Many old favorites have returned to us in new s---Ss as result or the extensive use of these silks. Chiffon is one that has followed the lead of gay patterned silks.
 To read of a chiffon frock in which the material printed in large de- sign Of two colors is combined with

Sleeveless dress worn recently at an
 afternoon tea dance in Paris. 1t is
 developed in black satin, the skirt
 having a jabot drapery of lace.
 cnInon Tn TWO sol1u tones @mlgnr gIve you the impression of a decidedly bizarre gown, but one has been de- veloped in just this way and the result obtained by such a combination is simple and quaint.
 The marriage, as the French say, of two colors, navy blue and white, is wonderfully worked out in this de- sign. There is just enough of the deep blue in the upper part of the skirt to accentuate this note without making the dress dark. Where the printed fabric, which is white with large blue design, joins the plain one, lace entre-deux is used for out lining the edges of the points and the oblique ends of the panels.
 Chiffon Finds Fountain of Youth.
 The straight line figure is preserved through the draped blouse, which is made entirely of the printed chiffon and has fichu collar of pure white chiffon, also elaborated with the ,ntre-deux. This dress is quite as charming when developed iD emerald green and white or cerise and white.
 In Gdys goN. by we thought of print ed chiffon as suitable only for elderly ladies' afternoon dresses; probably because this fabric was made in sub- dued colors and rather prosy designs. But this making of chiffon in big pat terms and brilliant shades has given 1t new lease of life, so that now printed chiffons are quite the rage.

TnEITY RUSTIC FLOWER VASE
Small Log of Wood May Be Converted Into Attractive Decoration for
 the Home.

A quaint and pretty little rustic flower vase can be made from a small log of wood. The bark should be left in its natural condition, and one end of the log hallowed out with gouge and a hammer until a sufficient space has been cut away to admit of insert ing a small glass bowl or basin, in which the flowers may be arranged.

Mr.. Marshall f. Vaughn,

Berea, Ky
Dear Mr.. Vaughn:
When your letter regarding the es-
tablishment Of an Alumni Section Of
The Citizen came this summer, was
away, and ] have been away a good
deal of the time. I am very glad to
know Of this new feature in The
Citizen, and Mrs. Boggs and have
subscribed, partly on that account.
There is nothing I can add just now
toward its success, as I have not
seeen any Berea alumni since visiting
Berea last spring-except my wife.
In reading the numbers Of The
Citizen that have come this summer,
have come to appreciate it as a news
paper as ! did not when in Berea. In
one respect in which most American
papers fall short II seems TO me Il
does unusually well, and that Is in
giving world news. I read the large
New York papers, and also frequently
study some of the British and other
foreign papers, and I believe The
Citizen, in proportion to its size. gives
more really worth while news of
what is going on in the world out
side the United States than any Of
the well known New York Dailies. II
is somewhat like the European pa
pers, many Of which give condensed
news of the world.
Some of these days Mrs. Boggs
(whom you will remember as Amy
Bridgman) and | hope to make good
visit to Berea together. You may be
sure we are now approaching the
alumni section Of The Citizen.
Very truly yours,
s. Whittemore Boggs

THE GREATEST SCHOOLMASTER
OF THE SOUTHLAND

Randolph Elliott in the August At
lantic pays tribute to Senator W. r.
Webb in his article entitled "Old
Sawney's." The name carries with
it no opprobrium. 1t is a fsvorite
name used affectionately by thous-
ands of people who have known the
old master intimately in the class
room, or who have had sons under
his instruction.
In preparatory training in the
Southland Senator Webb is pioneer.
Beginning at Culleoka, Tenn, soon
after the close of the Civil War, he
won public approval in and away from
the village that brought invitations
to go to other places to establish a
school. He chose Bellbuckle and soon
made it famous. Every educational
man in the Southland-save, perhaps,
a few recent importations-knows
Bellbuckle and honors the genial old
master who has done his great work
there.
The impress he has made on the
youth of his state and Of the entire
South can not be estimated. So great
is the affection that his former stu
dents have for their old master that
a few years ago when the untimely
assassination of a United States
senator left a seat at the National
Capitol vacant these students-now
successful and influential men of af-
fairs in Tennessee-petitioned the
governor to appoint their old school
master to the Office, and the governor
granted their request. 1t was a fit
ting tribute to one of the South's
most useful citizens.
When he laid aside the toga, he be-
came schoolmaster again and con-
tinued the work in practical democ-
racy, which he chose as his life work
long ago.
AS a schoolman he represents the
final degree in practical, democratic
efficiency. The school has never haC
a handbook of bewildering rules; hi
rules with personality. He has never
stood for supervised study; but thu
boys work at their lessons as they
never worked at other tasks. He ad

Dear Berea Friends:

I have travelled several hundred miles,
on railroad trains, street cars, steam
boats, wagons, horse back and on

visited the Mayo Brothers Sani-
tariLm at Rochester, Mimi, where I
saw many folks having various all
ments seeking relief. The Mayo
Brothers have n wonderful place, and
have done great things for sick peo-
pie. While I was there, met DR..
r. II. Cowley and Mrs. Arthur Hall,
whom you will remember in Berea
as Miss Pitts. Mr.. and Mrs. Hall
were in Berea several years ago,
Mrs. Hall as a teacher and Mr.. Hall
as a student. Mr.. Hall Is now

ENNIS LOCAL

THE old timers had their period OF
high prices after the civil war. Some
of the old folks of Ennis will tell OF
prices that would look fairly high
even in these ballooning times. But
familylife was built on Il different
system then. The old fashioned fam
ily carried THRIFT TO small details.
Many old households never used
matches. They twisted strips OF pa
per to make lamplighters. They
reyer bought soap depending on the
rease kettle and soap boiling spree.
Their conscientious little economies
built fortunes. They would noy be
considered too valuable to fuss with
these Anticipated inequalities. Butthe
tresent womens movement to cut
down high costs. does well to empha-
size such points as to the making ov-
er of clothes, and more economical
use of inexpensive foods. II scienti-
fic efficiency Is applied to the home
many needless costs can be cut out. "
There is gospel of economy, fru-
gality and common sense in this par
agraph, but people will read 1t and
go straight way and buy expensive
things because others do it, and re-
fuse to resort to little savings, lest
some may think them stingy.
