Queer Idea of Beauty.

The Malays have queer ideas OF
beauty. 1t isn't enough to them that
a girl should have an expensive we'd
ding gown, all embroidered, and that
she should have jewels about her
neck, but she must have her teeth
filed, for this is to them the Anal
touch of beauty,
On the day before her wedding the
fling takes place. The teeth are filed
down to a third, fourth, or some
times even a smaller fraction of their
usual length. According to our ideas.
this makes a wreck of the prettiest

All the time the filing is being done

are gathered in the house feasting

Immediately there was a rush for
the doors of the theater, and in a few

Then there were hats with scarfs
to match and jackets with hats. and
SO on. Sometimes we even heard of
the ensemble idea in stockings. which
merely meant that stockings were
worn to match the frock or trim
ming of the frock or the hat or the
scarf.
Now ensemble has acquired linn
tied meaning, and doubtless il will
cling, despite its many disadvan-
tageS.
The outstanding difficulty with the
"ensemble" or costume suit is its ap-
parent high price. 1t may not al
ways be easy to persuade the Ameri-
can woman that single costume at
$115 makes no larger dent in her
dress allowance than coat at S100
and frock at SIS. or that the s135
ensemble is no more expensive than
a suit at SIS that will need a fur
scarf at $40 and at least one blouse
at $50.
But it may be that the very fact
the ensemble will never be practi-
cable for the woman on very linn
tied income or the woman who dis
likes intensely to spend much on her
clothes, will keep it in better repute.

fur worn with a frock of silk to
match the lining Of the fur coat, with
border of the fur about the hem.
Or there may be a fur bordered un-
derslip, with a long tunic blouse to
match the lining of a three-quarter
coat. The more plant furs, such as
the new American broadtail or mole
skin, are best adapted to this pur-
pose. The softest of mole pelts are
used to make an ensemble consisting
of coat slightly longer than finger
tip and a short, sCant skirt OF mole.
To the fur skirt is attached a mole
colored crepe de chine blouse beaded
in soft tones.
The velvet ensemble, that really
consists of three pieces, is pretty sure

coat of green velvet, with dark brown
fur at cuffs and collar, a green vel

been simply "trois piece"-a three
