A Set Makes Attractive Present For
Girl With Blue Room. :

Perhaps the most attractive present
one could find for the girl who has a
blue room is a set of the amber tone

article and contains all the necessary
pieces. Another set not quite so large, is
priced at $3.50. Shell tone sets are as
popular as amber and are a little more

Picture frames of the same materials

New Couture Avoids Fiuffiness.

To make the face long and narrow is
the purpose Of the latest coiffure. The
hair is drawn sleekly back from the
forehead, but pushed out over the cheeks
and temples. Lying close TO the head
and quite unpuffed, the hair is kno;,ed
at the nape of the neck in a flat, fan
like fold extending from ear to ear.
There is no fluffiness to conceal the con-
tour Of the head. To fit the new, close
fitting coiffure Of today there is the
new close fitting hat. Whether the
chapeau is very wide or very small, Il
is now drawn on from the back so that
the knot at the nape Of the neck goes
up into the crown of the hat. The hat is
then pulled low over the eyes and worn

HOLIDAY COED DESIRES
CHIC TRAVELLING ATTIRE
Gloves, Oxfords And Purse In Har-
mOnizing Shades Give Air
of Smartness.

Every day, as the dreaded finals
come to a close and the long-dreamed-of
holidays draw near, goods are starting
for home. In the rush of leaving, per-
haps .he University girl does not think
much about her travelling attire. but
when she arrives, to be met BY those
who have been wanting her to get home
from school, she will want to look her
best. If she has stuffed her gloves in
the suitcase, in her excitement, or fail
ed 10 carry her small leather pocket
book which just matches her tailored
hat of felt or duvetyn, she will wish that
she had given some thought to a chic
appearance.
Brown kid gauntlets will 90 with the
brown. blue, or tan coat. If her travel
ing outfit consists of felt sport hat
and tweed coat, gauntlets Of chamois
in corresponding colors will suit the oc-
casion. Tan. grey and buff-colored ones
may be bought in downtown stores for
from sl.50 to $3.50. Kid gloves Of the
same kind, sell for about four dollars.
Under either a coat Of fur, or the
popular Bolivia cloth, a simple trico-
tine dress looks well for the traveller.
II ii is more of sport coat, the stylish
camePs hair sweaters with fresh. tail
ored blouses are attractive. But even
in this case, the plain tricotine or jersey
school dress is more appropriate.
Most appropriate and most in vogue
for the girl on her way home to show
the home town" the collegiate styles
are a pair of silk-and-wool-hose, strik-
ingly clocked. If the costume is Of
brown and tan, there are stockings of
ian clocked in brown, or vice versa, that
may be purchased in Columbia shops for
from 81 to $3.50.
Any woman knows, but not all re-
member, that a pair of shoes may be
the crowning glory or the cause Of Ut
ter shabbiness TO any gef-up. Best for
the train is a pair of oxfords. neat and
trim. and in harmony with the general
color scheme.
An attractive pair, in downtown
window. of black dull kid with exten-
sive trimming of gray suede sells for
$3.50. Gray silk-and.wool hose, trim
gray hat, with perhaps soft feathers at
tached TO one side, gray gauntlets, and
gray tweed top-coat would complete
a striking and chic-appearing outfit.
Another neat and rather simple pair
of black and gray leather oxfords sell
for $3.50. while another Of buff suede
trimmed in brown leather costs $3.50.
The delight of girls heart, however.
is the pstent-leather hat box that has
become SO popular of late. 1t is con.
venieni, first of all, as she will not have
TO worry about packing the fall hats she
wants to take home for the rest Of the
winter. In the round box she can pack
away an unbelievable number Of things.
But best Of all when she steps out Of
the train with her hatbox she will very
much resemble these pictures of fash
ionable ladies stepping out of bandboxes.

ELECTRICAL SHOPS SHOW
MANY CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Washers, Bread Mixers and Cooking
Equipment Are Offered
as Suggestions.

Electricity, directed toward the needs
of the home has accomplished variety
Of results, any one of which. as Christ
mas gift, would receive fifty-two-week
welcome.
From an electric washer TO a flash
light, every member of the family will
ejoice at gift run by white coaP-
unless it is the man Of the house who
pays the current bills.
/. With the aid of electricity, a woman
may wash and iron her clothes, mash
the potatoes and whip the cream for
dinner, massage her skin or make her
own clothes.
An slectric washer costs from $ll0 to
SIPS but through the years that it will
last it will more than save its cost in
nerves and temper and the appearance
of clothes. 1t is probably the most prac-
iical of all electric gifts.
A gift for the woman who isn't do
nestle by nature and who cannot always
be assured of a cook is a bread mixer
that also grinds the coffe, mashes the
potatoes and does several other dis
tasteful tasks. Such a machine in the
home represents the expenditure Of
Sis. 1t may be had in other sizes than
the one shown in a shop downtown.
Vacuum cleaners, at from s45 TO sos

Coming to the smaller pieces Of
electric equipment there are percolators,
grills, waffle irons, toasters, curling
irons and ironing irons, heat reflectors,
warming pads and even a vanity case

cess of making up
There are dozens Of lamps with shades
of fifty-seven varieties. There is the
floor lamp, tall and dignified and Of
shining mahogany. Often its silken
shade is in itself inartistic, but the glow
that filters through it is pleasant. One
parchment cover is on the surface dull
enough. all blurred outlines, low-keyed.
But it is a guileful shade and on the
inside butterfly-winged children flint

Clouded, colored glass shades with
dim landscapes bring the cost Of read
ing lamps up to $50. Dusky fir trees,
made blacker by the snow fields ABOUND
them, stand sharply silhouetted against
an orange sunset on one shade. The
lamp is $l0.5O.
A tiny lamp for the dressing table is
Of clouded, cut crystal. The shade fits
closely into the base, concealing the
bulb. The cord is silver. Altogether,
it costs $3.50.
Several shades seem designed espe-
cially for a bedroom. They are Of the
same clouded glass with panels checked
in blue and white and raised flowers that
give an effect Of applique.

The personality Of a woman should
be expressed by her hat, according 10
home economics experts in conference
here this week.
A hat must be interesting. Few hats
are worth looking at twice. A hat should
possess unity in all respects and should
be beautiful garment from all points
Of shape, color, lines and material. Then
the second necessary characteristic Of a
hat is that il be becoming. How can
a hat express personality unless ii looks
like its wearer? II the hat daracis from
the eyes, the hair or the complexion it
cannot be an expression of personality.
II one is clever her hat can counter
act the effect of the weather or even
change the mood of a grumpy compan-
ion. Cheerful. happy shades are most
desirable in winter weather or in early
dreary spring days and these tones are
as obtainabie now as the more drab.
sensible cOlors which seem TO have such
a hold upon the more conservative type
Of women.
The type Of hat a woman wears is
ever changing for it is necessary that
this feature Of her costume be appro-
pirate to the occupation in which she
is engaged. Since, perhaps, more of a
woman's clothes budget is spent upon
hats, the selection of hats should moi
be hurried.
When selecting hat the garment it
is to be worn with most should be worn
A hat that is to be worn with a coat
that has a pretentious collar should, of
course, be selected with the collar ad-
justed. II the hat is to be worn with
several costumes lis adaptibility to each
garment should be discovered for it is
far better TO look attractive all the time
than very attractive at one time and not
at all pleasing at another time.
The shape and color Of a hat should
denote the age of the wearer. This does
not necessarily mean that a woman of
so should look that old but it does mean
that an elderly woman should not con-
slider her type of hat the same as that
which the college girl might choose.
Neither should young girl add years
to her age by her ludicrous appearance
in the hat more appropriate for her
mother. --.------'-az----- - .--.--a
In selecting a hat one must know
exactly the type Of face she has. Oval
faces need certain types of hats that
square or long faces do not look nice in.
If the features are regular a symmetri-
cal hat can be worn but the girl with
irregular features and irregular face
should wear a hat that is irregular in
the brim and crown. The woman who
wears glasses should be careful in the
selection Of the hat brim. Her height
and shape Of her face may demand a
dropping one but If she wears glasses
this brim cannot be worn.
Facings in hats can sometimes reflect
color into the face, lighting muddy

Metal Trims Plain Velvet Hats.

There is a slight American variation
in the style recently sent from Paris.
The plain velvet hat is no longer trim
med merely with gracefully draped silk
veil of the same color. This style was
found to be too severe and a gold or
silver flower is now added, at some un-
usual angle where it will give an air
to the whole hat.

Red Cloth And Fur Is In Vogue

Brick red cloth and skunk fur form

New Combs Indicate High Couture

The newest combs presuppose fair
" elaborate coiffure with the hair done
high at the back of the head. The combs
do not stand out at an angle but curve
TO the shape of the head and extend
forward and upward. Instead Of being
jewelled they frequently are very long,
slender sticks of enamel Of vivid shades.

High Spats are in Vogue.

Spats today should be high to be
