naivete, everybody is wearing velvet.

a gold or silver girdle most often
with the presence of handsome fur.
Long straight coats Of black velvet
with accented low-waist effect, have
abundant collars of black Persian lamb,
with broad fur outlining the huge
flowing sleeve.
The velvet three-piece suit is the
goal of style ambition this season. 1t
is an economical investment. 1t serves
as a comedy street costume, and with
coat removed, is converted into one
piece frock de luxe attuned to dress

IF ONE may judge from appearance
at evening social affairs, the couture
is not complete without fancy BAN
deau or headdress.
The idea of pretty ornaments for
the hair suggests Christmas gifts one
can make which will be different"
from the usual pin cushions tea aprons,
vanity cases and powder puffs.
Take for instance the charming
floral comb in the group above. 1t
is suggested by the huge Spanish comb
now so popular among American
women for evening wear. However,
through substituting flowers for tor
toise shell or jet a dainty youthful
effect is secured, and yet the conven-
lions of style are preserved.
This clever affair can easily be made
as follows: Take an ordinary side
comb, with coarse teeth, or if obtain
able, a back comb with long prongs.
Cut a big fan or comb shape of rice
net, wire it across the top and ends.
Cover top and ends with bit of silk.
Then sew on this artificial flowers;
these may be hand made from trifies of
silk with chiffon. Sew this fanlike
flower covered shape across the top
Of comb by bringing stitches down

between the teeth. When secure, line
the back (the part next the hair) with
silk.
Golden grapes and cherries, as shown
in the illustration, are made of bits
Of metal cloth stuffed with cotton, the
leaves hand bronZed. Odd beads
strung into bandeaux also answer to
the call for fancy headdress.
The little bed lamp shown is of
shaded silk, the tiny canopy covering
the bulb.

Herbert bore much more than this;
he had seated himself on the third
step of the stairway in the hall, and

he could. Once, however, they got

when Cousin Virginia said:
ooh, Herbert. Herbert! How could
you make up that terrible falsehood
about Mr.. Crum? And, think Of it;
right on the same page with your
cousin Florence's pure little poem"
Herbert uttered some sounds, totally
incoherent but loud, and expressive of
a supreme revulsion. The shocked
audience readily understood that he
liked neither Cousin Virginia's Gliding
nor Cousin Florence's poem.
"Shame!" said his father.
Herbert controlled himself. 1t
could be seen that his spirit was not
broken, even when Aunt Fanny
mourned, shaking her head at him,
smiling ruefully:
''Oh, if boys could only be girls!"
Herbert just looked at her.
"The worst thing" said his father
that is, if there's any part Of it
that's worse than another-the worst
thing about it is this about Noble
Dill"
"What about that poor thing?"
Aunt Harriet asked. "We haven't

"Why, walked up from downtown

land the Dill family are all very much

downtown after lunch, as usual, and
pretty soon he came back to the house
and he had copy of this awful paper
that little Florence had given him"
"Who gave it to him?" Aunt Fanny
asked. "Whow
