After the first shook it Is pleasant, in fact, to see a georgette blouse, for instance. In what Is called "new" blue veiling, an underblouse of tomato red filet lace allowed to show in the front in filet fashion. Lace is being used extensively for the high lights of the costume. It appears, for example, In silver to lighten up a frock of navy blue georgette. The stiff stiver lace encircles the hips, giving the fashionable outstanding line, and Is veiled by just one layer of the •oft georgette. It edges the neck and short sleeves of (he same frock. Cafe au lait Lyons lace is used as a foil in a blouse which Is-lined with black chiffon and has a girdle of black net tying In a bow at the back. One of the loveliest of evening gowns is entirely of gray lace with the Inevitable bright color touch in the orange ostrich pompon at one side. Perhaps filet lace lends itself best to dyeing, but all the fine laces are no exception to the new ruling. Someitimes several laces are combined on one blouse. Filet lace dyed a bright orange, for example, makes flounces over the shoulders of a shadow lace blouse dyed brown with sleeves of net In the sa me dark brown. To lighten up the darker laces, the navy blue, black and brown tinsel ribbons are used. Little folded flowers of it,, tiny bows and narrow twisted girdles, all serve to add to the dressiness of the dyed lace blouse or frock. Beads, too, are being used tc bring out the richness of dyed lace. Often they contrast with the lace, repeating the deep color of the chiffon lining or they work out the pattern of the lace Itself. Metal threads are also used to bring out the lace pattern from Its dusky background. Where a whole blouse of lace would be too thin and delicate to top the suit skirt) jumper blouses are made of velvet on silk duvetyn to bring the dyed ladness dm to earth.

It was stated, any harmful effect on the collar trade. The same profit and a little more, it was explained, applies to soft as to stiff collars. The element of competition, however, is one that big concerns do not particularly like. Soft collars and soft shirts, It seems, have always been easier to manufacture, and consequently encourage competition from small firms.

The small hat, however, has not been displaced from its position of prominence. Many attractive turban models are nade from duvetyn. One immensely smart turban was of creamy white duvetyn trimmed with black coque feathers placed at the top of the crown. Falling furs and street dress and even the wide-skirted frocks of the Louis days, which some Parislennes are amusing themselves by wearing In the evening, were always worn with a small coiffure, making them much more attractive from an artistic standpoint than the exaggerated headdress of Louis XVI. The small shapes are of many styles. The cloche, which has been almost a nnlfonn shape In Paris, is frequently Seen. The turhan in some form or another, Is ahvtiys liked and Is made of vnrlous-materials. The small hat with narrow hrlm rolling sharply up against !he crown all around, or at the side, Is another good model. The tam-o'-shanter Is still much, in favor.

CATCHY ARRAY OF RIBBONS Striking New Decorations Include Metallic Background -- Strong Colors Are in Evidence. l'"4: Lace Blouses in Evidence Are Fashioned Not to Be 'Worn Transparent, but Over Bright-Colored Lining. Lace blouses are in evidence. Host striking of these are the ones that are made up not to be worn transparent, but over an opaque bright-colored satin or silk lining. Once we thought of the lace as a convenient means of showing the flesh tones of arms and throat beneath. With these new blouses the bright lining Is used as a means at showing the beauties of the lace of the blouse. Sometimes, however, tn place of the opaque satin or silk there is a slip of colored georgette that Is slightly transparent, while at the same time it does not show off the'.design of the blouse. , A new sort of blouse Is seen In the belted jersey sport blouses that sell for about ten dollars. They slip over the head, this being made possible by the deep V closing. They are finished with a wide belt section that comes slightly below the normal waist line, being pulled down over the skirt. Some of the new lace blouses are finished at the arms and collar with fine drawnwork mull In cream or ecru to match the tone of the lace. Batik continues to be popular In blouses and usually the batik blouse Is left severely untrimmed. A heavy crepe de chine in tones that Include the nasturtium range and some grayish greens Is extremely attractive. Hand-painted velvet Is seen In some of the new short-sleeved overblouses. The effect is somewhat like that of batik. One blouse of this fabric was of deep rose painted In tones of blue and purple.

A substitute for coke has been obtained from a fungi which is dried and ground and mixed w<th cement and consolidated by pressure. Ribbon counters these days are fnsclnatlng. Sometimes you rather wonder whether the ribbon people have a right to claim some of the beautiful reels of silken, goods that ' they call ribbon. You would think that if you were the people that had the silk goods counter In the store you would want to put up a fight to have In your department some of those wonderful textiles that are kept on the ribbon counter. Sometimes they are almost half a yard wide. They are used often not as ribbons are, but as silk by the yard Is used, to cut up into waistcoats, gilets, cuffs, collars and other trimmings of the frock. Most of the most striking of/these new ribbons have a metallic background that Is woven in with brilliant colored silk that goes to make the design of the ribbon. They are the most gorgeous sort of brocade. One of these ribbons shows a design of color and metal that goes to Egypt for Its Inspiration. There Is a gorgeous scarab and above the conventional rising sun of Egypt with the usual lotus flower design at the sides. Then there Is a ribbon showing a conventionalized parrot done In the mo?t gorgeous parrot shades combined with gold. There are others that show a curious Chinese design which as you look at It must have been Inspired by the four queens of the deck of cards. Only It is entirely Chinese in execution and coloring.- These ribbons are*very useful for making gilets, and dressmakers are making use of them to a great extent. For evening gowns they have a wide usefulness. You know girdles have come to the fore and sometimes these ribbons are used t«> form Into a loose, sloppy girdle that is caught around the waist and hips. Very narrow ribbons are also being used for girdle purposes. Thedfe are made by taking about two and a half yards qf ribbon about a half Inch wide, usually plcot edged. Sometimes there are three lengths all the same color, sometimes the three lengths are all of a different color--yellow, blue and old rose, perhaps. These three strands are brought loosely around the girdle line on top of the frock and then tied In a bow or crossed In a knot at the left front, leaving the ends to hang loosely at the left side. Young girls are buying these ribbons to make Into girdles to add to their bta^ aerm or black silk frocks. -- = CHARM OF THE LITTLE TAIN j§\ V-1 ' • Style Rules Are Very Elastic jiptythtng Becoming May Be Regarded fw, ^ v u proper for the Wearer of •-* v " the Garment. ^ s*V An unusual and" striking straightllae of chemise type of dress recently seen was of black chiffon velvet cut on mandarin lines, all Its edges finished with jade bugles and loosely girdled •with an Oriental-looking belt or girdle jade Now that luncheons, bridge parties «nd debutante teas are enlivening the social day, the question of dress becomes increasingly important and Interesting. To be the best-dressed womjan at a social affair does not by any means mean that the fortunate individual Is the most expensively outfitted. It means rather that she has piven thought fio her clothes, has an ingenious mind and knows what ts becoming to her. Style rules are very elastic these days, and within certain boundaries K!.*,; JtkaV 1 & y- -z anything that is becoming may be •«- garded as the style. The flaring, bouffunt frock Is charming and a delight if becoming, but the straight undraped dress has an appeal when one considers that a wrap must be worn over It. Rate Indeed Is the all-enveloping coat that can deal kindly with frills and flare and furbelows. Charming French Hats. French hats for the mid-season are as plain as ever and so charming that It Is hard to tell just why. For one reason they manage to fit the wearer most astonishingly. They are shaped as an adjunct to her features and as an accent to the other parts of her attire. The little, draped turbans that turn away from the face and slouch over the ears are the popular favorites. One of the draped velvet hats pe cullarly French In the way it carrier out the lines of the face is in dark blue and has for its trimming twe bunches of s lew (Kogue feathers qaclt Adaptability and Friendliness of Popular Headgear Appeals to Practlcally Everybody. tam Is the chameleotv of the wardrobe.

Itself into a soft chiffon confection, or brocade tam of a decididly French turn. In Bohemian circles It perches saucily on the bobbed lead of the little art student and turns )nto a felt thing of brilliant orange or rermlllon. When an artist gets to her studio and pulls her tam off her head md chucks It among the varicolored pillows on the couch. It also fits Into the scheme of things there. Put the tam on the fighter'? head--the French wldler's--and the honorable tam turns true blue and becomes the most picturesque part of the Blue Devil's uniform. Put It on \he head of the peasant and It turns to workaday* colors of gray and dull blue. Put It on tjie kiddie's curls and it turns Into a fuzzy, woolly thing and looks as though It were made of the very same yarn balls-the kiddle playsfwlth in the kindergarten. . The tam put on the fashionable coiffure turns into a tailor-made affair of surprising smartness. In its adaptability and friendliness to every sort of folk lies Its* charmit fits'the fighter, the sportsman, the lady of fashion, the kiddie and the laborer. Net Over Shimmering Foundation. ^ Net, In all varieties, Is the favorite ^material for evening dresses for young and old. Sometimes the gown shows just a touch of net, and sometimes it makes the whole gown. Satin or metallic cloth Is the proper foundation for net or lace, because of Its soft and shimmering surface. What Length. There Is continued controversy la fashion circles over skirt lengths, as new models continue to be of all lengths, and of all widths, too. COLLARS, CUFFS, BEADS, BELT Dainty and Expensive Neckwear Is , M Cwpy--Other DeoorajUMe ; "jX. '•' Add to Costume. Collars which the shops are showing are dainty and expensive and easy to copy. How would you like one small collar made of finely tucked organdie with a narrow picoted ruffle hemstltcned on? Little French knots in color may extend parallel to the hemstitching. The round, narrow collar with the cutaway edges In black, edged with a very narrow lace which Is sewed on very full, is popular. It Is much improved by a small embroidery design In front Then there are some frocks which require cuffs--not the regulation klad, but something a bJt "different." Fof such a sleeve use a fine organdie, gather It top and bottom and finish both with a cording of organdie. The dress of serge or silk will be much Improved by such a cuff. And bead*--how they do make some costumes I There are such varldies of Japanese beads which would look well strung upon a bronze cord and flnlshed lit =front with a bronze tassel. They need not be strung closely together. They are much better grouped at Intervals upon the cord, which. Is knotted to hold them in place. ferhaps you have a chemise frock which could stand a bit of changing. Well, how about a belt? Make it of silk which you have tucked. Over the center of it pass a picoted ribbon around the wairt and tie it upon the side. Allow long ends. Also, picoted ribbon can be very attractively used for dainty garters. Since the evening frock which requires a corsetless figure Is In vogue, round garters are becoming a necessity. _ * New Sleeve*. Associations Dear to ths Heart of tv> ory American Cling About the Historic Home of the Chief Executive. When President Wilson, because of tl&i Illness, received the king of the Belgians while propped up In bed. with a torn sweater about his shoulders, and told the prince of Wales that the bed in which he lay had been occupied by Baron Renfrew, later King Edward VII, and Abraham Lincoln, he added traditions to the host that alreudy cling about the White House. With, this introduction the National Geographic society has Issued a bulletin on the home of the presidents which, it says, has more tender human memories than any other public building In America. From cellar, where colored "mammies" have cooked for presidents. pies "like mother used to make," to attic, where the Itoosevelt children played and romped, there are associations which range from the quaint to the sublime. President Wilson's enforced dishabille recalls the premeditated negligee-- worn slippers, yarn stockings and old suit--by which Jeffereon sought to Impress the Britlih ambassador with American democracy when that official arrived in full official dress to present his credentials. Early morning callers bn John Quincy Adams had to cool their heels until that president finished three chapters in the Bible and walked down back of the White House for u swim in the Potomac. To "drop In" at the White House evonlngs, quite the sociable thing to do during Jackson's terms, meant finding the ch'ief executive before an open fire. In an old loose coat, doing duty as a smoking jacket, puffing at a long pipe with a bowl of red clay. Every room of the White House abounds In history. The oak-paneled state dining room knows dinners of the homely sort that Jefferson gave when the Washington village butcher brought along his son, because he beard there was to be an extra place at the table; of the picturesque kind, like one given more than a century ago to the Tunisian ambassador, who was aggrieved because everyone would not withdraw while he smoked v his pipe, though his secretary showed his good will by ceremoniously kissing the ladies present;, of the bizarre kind given by Theodore Roosevelt to cow punchers, ex-prize fighters and distinguished men of letters, not to mention the famous one with Booker T. Washington as a guest, end many memorable banquets, like those to Marshal Joffre and Sir Arthur Balfour, when the china set of 1,500 pieces and the famous cut glass, every piece of which Is engraved with the arms of the United States, were used. No room Is better know to the public than the east room, of late years the scene of brilliant receptions and White House weddings. It, too, has memories of a cruder democracy, when all Washington flocked there to "follow about the servants who carried refreshments, seizing upon whatever they could get," and upon one occasion two "ladles" perched upon the chimney piece to get a better view of the colorful scent. Recent discussion of gifts received by the president and Mrs. Wilson while abroad lends Interest to specimens of those made to other presidents and "first ladles," which remain in the White House. The blue room contains the most famous of these, the gold mantel clock presented to Washington by Lafayette, who received It from Napoleon. In the green r6om Is the Gobelin tapestry, made by a process which now is a lost art, and framed in gold, fthlch the emperor of Austria gave Mrs. Grant. Near by is a lacquer cabinet, gift of Japan on the qccaslon of the first visit to Its ports* by American ships. And there are many more. Country Women Live Longest*. , The theory that city women may wear silk hose with Impunity and otherwise defy winter's rigors by permitting fashion to decree how few clothes they shall wear, which was advanced by Dr. Royal S. Copeland on the claim that city women live longer than their farm-bred sisters has been given a jolt. • Nothing less than the United States life tables in the 1910 census were quoted by the statistical expert of a leading life Insurance company to prove that country women live longer than city women. Country women have the call so for as expectations of life are concerned. from the moment they make their bow to the world up to the time they reach the ripe age of ninety. Then and only* then do their city sisters gun a lap In the race for Img life. • , „ . 7t Many "variations of sleeves are"b"etng develop by the fashion creatoia abroad.

' : f A young woman told the WIHesden (England) magistrate that she had six points to complain of about her husband. He would not allow her to speak to any one. He would not allow anyone to visit the house. He would not allow her to take her little boy out. He would not give; her any housekeeping money. He threatened her life. He would not let her have her own clothes to wear. After all that the court missionary was asked to act arbitrator. . .in" • la « State of Apprehension.

Sunday Is the busiest "day for theso merchants. They foregather .principally in the plazas, spread their goods about them and patiently wait for customers. Their numbers are augmented by men and women, boys and girls, all of them selling candies, fruits, shoestrings, pottery, tobacco, drinks, br ight-colored ribbons, shoes, hats, dogs, cats, gophers and the dozens of varieties of food of which chill Is the most Important component. The plazas presont an animated appearance. Bands are playing, whistles are blowing, newsboys call their editions, a man with a wheel of chance beseeches tho credulous to try their luck; a boy with a huge basket balanced atop his head offers sweetmeats at 5 centavos each, and following him comes a seller of ice cream with his frozen dalntleb tucked away In a container which he juggles perilously on his head but never lobes a spoonful, and ab6ve all shines a glorious sun which gives no hint of brooding problems of existence. It is a happy life the native leads on Sunday, when with a few centavos he may fill his stomach with sweets, bask In the warm sunshine and listen to music furnished by a Mexican band. A man from the United States, who on a recent Sunday morning took hisf seat in a plaza, within a few minutes had his shoes shlned, his nails manicured, his breakfast served, his morning newspapers delivered, his measure taken for a suit of clothes and was offered an assortment of diamonds and opals at a bargain. He concluded that there may be more modern methods of conducting business, but more picturesque than that employegjby the outdoor merchant. BIO UNDERTAKING.
