in DRAPED EFFECT
Improvement on Ultra DecoIIete
Dresses Is Manifest.
Dinner Gowns Cling at Hem, While
They Are Full over
the Hips.

1t Is very interesting, writes a Paris
fashion correspondent, to note what
Worth is doing with regard to eve
ming dresses this season. This mai
son has always been celebrated for its
gorgeous dinner gowns and toilettes
for ceremonious occasions. 1t Is not
here that one looks for eccentric mod
els nor for sensational displays, but
Worth sets the styles for women of
refined taste, and so it is necessary to
look closely at what he designs.
This season he is showing very love
ly dinner gowns which have a draped
effect. Several Of his best models
seem to cling at the hem while they
are full over the hips. In some cases
there is distinct train, cut in with
the dress itself.
This is a welcome innovation, and
one which likely will prove very popu-
lar. For long time past nearly all
our evening trains have been separate
from the dress-arranged in scarf
fashion and often in twin-form-One
at either side. Or we have had court
trains-these chiefly for wedding
dresses. But it is evident that Worth
intends to revive genuine trains, cut
with the dress and forming part Of 1t.
Trains of this order are specially
suitable for matrOns or for women of
full figure. The picturesque scarf
train is also much in evidence, but 1t
will no longer be considered the only
possible.
One model represents some of the
latest ideas of the Maison Worth: ex-

Tasmanla,a ArtesIan wat.r-

The dry season experienced in Tas-
mania last summer caused the state
government to examine the county
known as the Midlands for artesian
water. The area surveyed was APP
prOximately 500 square miles. The
investigation has shown that there is
no artesian water in the MidIands,
but that there exist definite sub-ar-
tesian basins from which appreciable
quantities Of water of very fair quail
ity may be drawn. The investigation,
the first of its kind in Tasmania, will
make valuable asset of the N4idlands,
and will furnish data from which val
liable conclusions can be drawn as to
the conditions affecting irrigation.

HAT SHOULD SUIT THE FACE
Woman Who Has Passed Prime Knows
There Is Certain Type She
Should Wear.

''The vintage Of 1907" a teacher
said the other day in referring to her
hat, which some one had been admir-
ing for, having bought a good hat in
that far-off time, she has it renovated
and renewed every winter. One merit
that the hat possesses is that it fits
and suits her style, for it becomes
more and more difficult for women
who have passed their first youth to
find hats that are "suited" to them. A
favOrite milliner makes the same hat
over year after year and, while it new
er loses its look of smartness, it is not
in the style. But the woman who has
passed her prime knows that there is
a certain kind of hat that she must
wear Mrs. Harding is said to have
adopted almost exclusively the tricon
shape, which is a very good hat
for woman Of her age. One will find
that the best-dressed women are those
who wear hats that are becoming to
them and do not trouble about the
latest fashion. The milliner who re-
allies this will not try to persuade the
woman of middle age to wear any Of
the stylish" shapes. Can one con-
ceive of anything more pathetic than
a woman Of middle age with a tam-o'-
shanter perched coquettishly upon her
hair, unless it happens that the "tam"
is the only style that is really becOm-
ing to herr

ON GUARD AGAINST FOReERs
Men Of Money Devise Secret signs
Which inform Bank Cashiers That
Checks Are Genuine.

So clever is the modern forger that
the man who relies on a signature
which is hard to copy is liable at any
moment TO find himself victimized and
his account depleted.
In order to prevent the successful
uttering of a forged check, several
men have hit upon devices which even
the smartest criminal could hardly de-
tect
For instance, there is an American
millionaire who makes a tiny blot on
some part of the check as a sign to
the bank cashier that it is genuine. Not
one forger in a thousand would at
tribute a blot to anything but care
lessness, and quite number of would
be swindlers have found themselves
pulled up sharply on presenting an,
unblotted check over the counter
Another man has hit upon the idea
of apparently making mistake in
the date in the right-hand top cor
ner of the check, which mistake is
rectified by. the crossing out of the
wrong mineral and the substitution
OF the correct one. The check fOrger
would hardly regard such an appar-
ent blunder as the result of deliberate
intention.
A Frenchman with whom this sub
ject was discussed stated that his own
method is an almost infallible one.
Whenever he writes a check, he takes
the precautiOn of tearing it out of his
check book in such a manner that a
tiny shred of the counterfeit remains
attached to the draft. This is an in
timatiOn to the bank that the check
is genuine.
Perhaps, however, the most extraor-
binary device is that adopted by a
wary Hebrew. He makes a point of
carefully pertaining every check bear
ing his signature with a certain scent
which is very difficult to obtain.
