AN UNUSUAL WINTER COSTUME
BY ANNp RlTrENHousE.

Women like velveteen. They ignore
it's obvious faults. They forgive its
shortcomings. Its easy way of get
ting mixed up with the dirt OF the
streets and the dust of chairs makes
it a common hoyden to the conserva-
tives, but the majority excuse it on
the ground that all fabrics have their
faults and many lack the charm OF
dark velveteen. 1t has an air OF
bohemia, yes. but a staid world hank
ers after Bohemia.
Many smart women are wearing
one-piece frocks of beige velveteen
crepe de chine. Others find in gray
their best choice and wind silver
ribbon around their hips in lieu OF a
sash.
Young women have adopted the
dashing costume of the quarter" in
Paris. which consists of a boyish eff
feet in coat and narrow skirt, the
latter made short and narrow. the
former made hip length and slender.
The skirt is of black velveteen and
the coat is of worsted plaid. opened
nearly to the waistline and faced with
a wide collar of the velveteen, With
this suit is worn a Stin white shirt
with a boys collar. stif1y starched
and finished in front with a rakish
black velvet bow. 1t does not need
much imagination to add the bobbed
hair, uncurled, as the French new
wear it, and combed out over the
temples in straight locks after the
manner of the directoire-
BY the way. departing from this
dashing velveteen suit for the mo-
ment. this new coiffure is quite the
thing. 1t has no curl in it, 1t is
sleeked back from the forehead to
the nape of the neck and is cut on

combs. no curls. Over the temples
the hair is cut short and brushed for
ward Frances White brought back
this coiffure from Europe and several
American women have adopted IT, IL
is quite interesting
Although a woman has a girlish
coiffure, she can wear boys suit OF
clothes. The plaid coat and the black
velvet skirt go with any kind OF mas
and hair. There is a small breast
pocket in some of these plaid coats
into which is thrust a colored
six handkerchief carelessly arranged
with it's points hanging out
This Jacket is another evidence of
the incoming of the short coat. There
are men designers who think that 1t
will bring in the stiff white linen
shirt with the high collar. These
bows collars of starched linen which
were once fashionable have returned
TO favor. They are worn with broad
bows of ribbon and not the four-in-
hand cravat They are not Buster
Brown, these collars. They are the
kind your husband wears every morn
ing. You can fitch his.

To Clean Ostrich Feathers

feather in it repeatedly, drawing
lightly through the fingers after each
dipping. Take it outdoors and shake e
it until the gasoline is evaporated.
The flour will shake OF and the
feather will retain its curl and orig

How Long
| Do You Dine?|

Doubtless If. we had fewer forms
OF amusement and diversion we
would dine longer. IL We had no
moving picture shows. no theaters,
few books. and if methods OF travel
and transportation were as different
now as they were in the days OF our
forefathers, then We might find that
the most entertaining thing we could
the dinner table hour upon hour.
Three hundred years ago dining seems
to have been the main and almost
sole form of amusement for most per-
sons, and in a certain part of Ger
many a law was passed making it
an offenSe for Il man of the trades
man class to dine for more than four
hours each day.
Our customs of dining we have
taken for the most part from Eng
our formal dinners received their
lengthiness. A few years ago it was
not uncommon for fashionable folk
to linger two hours at the table. al
though even then in France one hour
was considered the limit OF time. or
late years-and especially since the
wa-shorter dinners have taken the
place of long meals and even for a
formal dinner one hour is now con-
sidered sufficient.
learn what a length OF time the
father of his country spent at table.
We read in many places that he was
extremely fond OF nuts and often
used to sit over his nuts and wine
for two hours after dinner was over.
He dined several hours earlier in
the day than we do and had but an
hour or SO between this hearty din
ner and a supper that consisted Of
fruit and cold meats.
The custom of taking coffee in the
drawing room or living room even
for simple family meals is one that
helps us to shorten our dinner hour.
If we have a single servant who is
no doubt eager to finish the kitchen
work and be out for her own amuse-
ment, then it is the least we can do
to adjourn from the dining room soon
as possible. The old custom Of the
women's adjourning first and then
spent an hour or so at the table |
over their glasses is one that Amer
leans are dropping.
