WOOL SET FOR WINTER WEAR
NewipapT Unloitj
"Great" for fall and winter days
when one loves to feel the “bite” of
the crisp air yet wants to be properly
protected from treacherous chills and
drafts. It is in tan and brown. The
little cap is made in much the same
style as the United States overseas
cap.
UP-TO-DATE TABLE SERVICE
More Favorable Comment From Dain
tiness Than From Amount
of Solid Food.
The hostess who would be smart
and modern must keep up with all the
latest notions anent table service and
food garnishing. A square meal well
cooked Is well enough in its way;
more important—vastly more Impor
tant—is the service thereof, and a few
light edibles perfectly served will give
that hostess a higher reputation
among her w?>men friends, at least,
than any amount of good solid food
minus the little touches that bespeak
np-to-dateness.
For Instance, the butter knife is an
obsolete affair; almost as obsolete as
the ancient soup ladle no more seen
on the modern dinner table. Soup Is
served in plates by the maid—no
tureen or ladle are in evidence.
As for butter, the little squares or
cubes—now much smarter than roly
poly butter balls—are taken up with a
dainty silver two-pronged fork, or
"butter pick.” The same little fork
may be used at tea hour for picking
up lemon slices for the teacups.
Small silver butter spreaders are
still correct at the Individual places
and the smartest butter plates now
are of sliver, plain and rather flat,
about the size of a saucer and
engraved with a monogram in the cen
ter.
No housewife now is completely
happy until she has coaxed a set of
silver vegetable dishes from her bet
ter half. And if her cup of happi
ness is to be full he will provide also
one of those stunning silver plate
meat platters with a gravy “tree”
grooved out in the center, like the old
Sheffield plate meat platters.
In solid silver these table belong
ings are rather costly; but silver plate
Is not to be despised and meat and
vegetable dishes of good plate are
found in many well-appointed homes.
Dinner napkins are not the mam
moth affairs that they were—perhaps
because linen became so scarce and
precious during the war. But the
really handsome napkin, of moderate
size, has an inch-wide hemstitched
hem and a beautifully hand-embroid
ered monogram or initial across one
corner. Sometimes the embroidered
motif is in the exact center of the
napkin, which is folded by the laun
dress so that the monogram comes in
the center of a square.
HEAD-DRESS MORE ORNATE
French Milliners Inaugurate Style
Hailed as Omen of Lavish
Season of Old.
French milliners have shown the ef
fect of the dawn of peace more In the
creation of their elaborate and ornate
head-dresses than In anything else, for
these ornaments are so essentially a
luxury and Intended to be worn only
with the most sumptuous of gowns.
The most costly fabrics have been
employed in their making, and French
pearls are used in large quantities.
Paradise branches finish the ends of
many of these pearl bandeaux, and
heavy cloths of gold and silver are
bound about the heads, hardly show
ing the hair.
Many of these head-dresses or ban
leanx were worn showing the elab
jrate use of paradise. Some bandfaux
Bf silver or gold braid supported a
coronet of uncurled pastel-tinted os
trich banding standing high about the
hair and allowing a knot of it to come
through the crownless top.
This Item In particular called forth
much comment for the reason that
every one hailed It as the omen of a
lavish season and the return to the
Bid-time seasons when dress hata were
IP much In demand.
WRAFSFOR WINTER
Heavy Ulsters Have Been Made
to Be Really Attractive.
Bulky Garment Now Does Work It
Was Cut Out to Do; Good
Looking.
The big Ulster coat has developed
Into one of woman’s most fetching gar
ments. Once it was a bulky arrange
ment, designed mostly after the pat
tern of the man's, to give warmth, and
that only. Now it does the work that
it was cut out to do and is extreme
ly good looking as well.
The materials are of soft texture.
There are velours de laine and silk
duvetyns which rival the handsomest
qualities of velvet. There are beauti
fully woven English tweeds and Scotch
mixtures. Those who manufacture
these cloths assure us that they will
“wear like iron,” and that, indeed, is
true.
As for colors in these coat stuffs,
they range over the whole gamut. The
thick pile fabrics are being made up
In gorgeous plaids, and the Parisian de
signers have made most interesting
combinations of plaids and plain ma
terials in the construction of coats.
You will see a plain taupe lower sec
tion combined with an upper portion
of taupe and dull green and brown,
making a large-patterned plaid. An
other combination uses the pldid mere
ly for a wide facing.
Besides the plaids there are many
of these soft materials made in pat
terns of stripes, and the colors com
bined in them give a warm look which
will take the place of furs, now al
most prohibitively high in price. When
furs are worn they seem much more
lavish than ever before. The coats are
big and roomy. Kolinsky is a popular
variety of fur and the deepness and
richness of its brown tones make it
almost universally a becoming shade.
Then there are tRe dyed rabbit skins,
which have come into favor not only
for deep collars and cuffs used on
coats and suits of woolen materials
but also for whole coats. The ermine
coats for evening are more beautiful
than ever and those of sable rival the
mantles of queens. Goat skin, long
and silky, has been dyed and used for
fur trimming. The favorite shade is
gray.
The wraps for evening indulge in
color to the last degree, and it is here
that the metal brocades and the vel
vet brocades are used to their best
advantage. The wraps are cut out
of long square pieces and little or no
shaping is given to them. All of their
style comes In the draping.
HANDY ARTICLE FOR INVALID
Pocket for Booke, Lettere, Papers, Etc.,
to Be Attached to Head
of Bed.
A very acceptable little present to
make for an invalid or anyone who
may be confined to bed for a time is
shown in the sketch. It Is for sus
pending from the rail at the head of
the bed "above the pillow, and in it
may be kept letters, books, papers, etc.,
in which position they will be within
easy reach of the occupant of the
bed.
To make It: Procure a piece of
thin board of the shape indicated in
the sketch, and cover It on both sides
with colored linen. Prior to doing this,

however, the pockets most be sewn
upon the material covering the front
of the board. They are also made of
linen, and should be roomy; they are
bound at the edges with colored hrald.
The board is finished off at the edges
with woolen cord to match the braid.
For hanging the pockets upon the
rail of the bed, procure two hooks, of
the nature shown in sketch A, and
Bcrew them on at the back of the
board in the positions shown In
sketch B.
Suitable hooks, with screws for fas
tening them on, can be obtained for a
trifle, but care should be taken to se
lect large enough hooks to slip easily
over the bed-rail.
The pockets should be large enough
to hold a book or magazine, and a
small writing-pad.
Millinery Color*.
Black is nearly always the best for
the hat itself but It Is believed this
year that brown will be a very suc
cessful rival and that more brown hats
will be sold than is usual of any one
color. Taupe is quite a vogue. Trim
ming shades will be orange, reddish
tones, electric blue and turquoise.
Hatr Dressed High.
Fashion says hair Is to be worn high
this winter and the advent of the tall
coiffure will bring a return of fancy
combs and pins. Even barrettes—small
ones—are to come Into their own
igain.
TURBANS FOR FALL
Smaller Headgear We'^ome Re
lief From Summer Styles.
varge Hat Still Holds Favor for DresP
Occasions; Many Picture Mod
els Shown.
For fnll wear, following the summer
censor) of big more or less floppy pic
ture hats, the ehie little turban or
toque is a welcome addition to the
sard robe. The draped turban Is an es
pecially popular bit of headgear and It
is a hat quite within the province of
the home milliner. The fact that hand
rmbroidery Is much in evidence on
fabrics used for hats anil for hat trim
ming makes It possible for a woman to
express great individuality in the de
velopment of her headgear.
The day of the large hat has by ni
means passed, and for later dress.,
wear many picture models are shown,
with handsome ostrich plumes of great
length and richness the favored trim
ming. Soft crowns predominate on
the big hats, although some of the
more tailored models show stiff
crowns. A novelty shown by some of
the leading milliners Is a severe sailor

Close-Fitting—For Walking or Mo
toring It Is Ideal.
that is really a feminine adaptation of
the silk “topper” worn by men.
In the development of the soft
crowns, brocaded fabrics and materials
richly embroidered are often used to
accompuny brims of plain color ma
terial.
STYLES FAVOR THIN GIRLS
Bouffant Draperies and Accentuated
Hips Are Not Designed for
Stout Persons.
Maybe you think that the girl under
one hundred or close thereto does not
have the difficulties in dressing becom
ingly as does licr sister who weighs an
other hundred pounds, says a writer in
the Philadelphia Itecord. In some ways
she is worse off, for correct corseting
and very careful tailoring will do much
for the stout woman, while, unless the
mode sponsors it, frills and the other
first aids of the thin girl are apt to
look passe.
At present she should he in her ele
ment. She can build up so delightfully
without recourse to ruffles, flounces or
frills at all. Think what pounds the
new stiff panniers of taffeta can udd to
♦he thin girl’s appearance. There is a
great deal to be done with skillful
drapery, too. Large billowy folds of
heavy satins will make up many de
ficiencies in the slttn figure.
Probably the best news is that If she
has no hips she may simulate them In
several ways. A very new Paris frock
suggests one, for It rolls a piece of soft
hut heavy brocade turban fashion right
below the normal waistline and then
adds a tulle overskirt to soften the ef
fect. Another frock that does much the
same thing shows a skirt of henvy sat
in draped Into a 2-inch frill at the
waistline, held there by folded girdle.
The frill was allowed to fall over the
girdle, and again a tulle overskirt fall
ing over the frill softened and added
even more bulk to the frock.
The ruffled chemisettes In vogue
again play into the thin girl's hands,
and If her ankles are overly thin the
heavy wool stockings to be worn with
the sport oxfords all winter ure an
other feature In her favor. Even the
coats with their large armholes, which
camouflage narrow, thin shoulders,
show that the mode, while not perhaps
having the very thin girl in mind, is
at least kind to her this season.
Black With Relief.
It Is a long time since black has been
so much the mode. Coatlike frocks of
black velours are very smart. This
soft, dull black fabric frequently Is
relieved by a bright colored fastening
of some sort. Fastenings are in favor
this year, and give a good opportunity
for Introducing a note of brightness.
A frock of black velours fastens down
the full length of the long bodice with
a chain of silver rings. The sleeves,
which are long, tight and crinkled to
correspond with the waist, fasten from
elbow to writ* ufter the same manner.
If Blouse Is Crushed.
A georgette or crepe de chine blouse
that has become wrinkled can be re
stored by being bung over beat for a
»hort time.
