ACCESSORIES ARE
HIGHLY IMPORTANT

"There is just one rule for fashion
this year and that is buy fewer
things, but the best quality your
money can buy
Asked for the seasons ten com
mandments by which the welldressed
woman must abide, Miss Helen Cor
nelius, associate editor Of Harper's
Bazaar, made 1t emphatic that the
above, single commandment held for
every woman, be her income what 1t
may.
According to Miss Cornelius, this
year Of grace will see the buying ten,
dency one Of getting the best for
your money-quality will be spelt In
capitals.
Sending a message to the young
women whose salaries are small, the
stylist begs that one heed the impor-
lance and elasticity Of accessories.
She suggests that the wardrobe fund
be well-nigh exhausted In a few tai
lored gowns and the surplus be in
vested In new all-important collar and
cuff ensembles.

he can and beat ii for parts unknown

Crooked Bill's face registered alarm.
"You think so?"

I'll bet you a hundred thousand dollars

Nap Fabrics Are Seen
Everywhere This Year

Velvet is everywhere this year.
Paris Is going in Nheavily for all sorts
of nap fabrics.
There are crepe velyets of varied
thicknesses-s SOME soft and pliable as
chiffon. some heavy and thick as wool.

which look like ermine. like caracul,
like breitschwantz.
There are soft silk velvets made
into gowns whose skirts fall in soft
yolun1inous folds. and heavy cotton.
back velvet dresses with full ilarins
skirts whose hens cover spaces each
n ward and q half in diameter.
Velvet is used only for dresses and
coats for evening wraps and gowns.
but for daytime suits. for pa1amas, for
lounring robes and negllgees, for cock
NH suits. for gloves and shoes, for
hats-in fact. for practically every

wearing. AS adorably feminine as In
the 1905 is this cunning cape which
happens In this instance to be styled
of ruby red velvet. The skirt goes
loor-length, widening at the hemline
and taking on rows Of wee rulfles just
as skirts used TO do In the long. long
ago.
However, the above described Is
only one phase of the question, for
fashion Is making versatile play
upon lines gathered from many
past era. The gown eentered In this
group Is typical of this movement to-
ward what Is known as the direetoire
period throughout the story Of fash
ions as told In days of yore. II Is OF
green crepe. Its little bolerolike
jacket Is tied so as to accent the new
high bustllne which so many design
ers are featuring In their newest
creations.
Then again fashions followers are
called upon to consider the silhouette
as 1t appears on the present-day style
program from an entirely different
viewpoint. We refer to the new, very
new. long wasted effects which 70
way back to medieval times for their
Inspiration. More than one noted de-
signer Is working along these lines,
with the result that some OF the most
successful gowns brought out this sea-
son have long body -fitting waists
which join their skirts low on the
hips. The handsome velvet hostess
gown pictured to the right suggests
this type. although In purely mod
ernized way.

Crooked Bill thought swiftly OF all

him. Can you fix It with the Judge
to disapprove the sale7'
"Certainly. III offer fen cents

But Crooked Bill had been crowded
