THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. GERMAN SCOUTING PARTY IN THE CHAMPAGNE COV. MOREHEAD DECLINES FORD PEACE MISSION. BELIEVES TRIP IS FRUITLESS Nebraska Executive Asserts He Would Not Be Justified In Stay ing Away From Duties. REFUSES T Christmas Suggestion in Neckwear Every woman wants to bo stylishly dreBsod, and every woman r re lined taste loves the small luxuries of apparel which belong to womankind alone. And the knack of using the lit tle accessories of dress that nro brought out for each season Is the stamp of good Judgment. They aro the things that seize tho httention and please tho eyo and provide that va riety which Is tho splco of liro, from day to day. Tho clothing of tho nock has come In for much mra ..ttentlon this sea Bon. For wear In tho house, collars of organdie, lace, not and other of tho sheerest materials nro used together with pretty ornaments of ribbon. Fancy ribbon bands, bordered with tur on each edge and slmilur bands of chenille, In two colors, aro tho very latest arrivals. They aro made with culTs or wristlets to match, and aro tin i8hcd off with small sprays of mil linery llowers. Tho voguo of wristlets, like that of mulilers, Is a rovlval of an old fashion, but both havo been modernized. A comparison of tho old and tho new shows tho present tendency toward dainty llnishing and decoration and a taste for the luxurious. group showing three pieces or neckwear Is given above. They are of familiar and conservative design, in organdie and lace, such as may bo found In any dry goods store. They aro among tho least expensive and most acceptable of holiday gifts, and aro easily mado at home. Although Concerning the 'mm iiii'ii Tho black velvet hat is a becoming piece of headwear, and Its deep bril liance sets off tho coloring of tho blonde or tho brunette, or any com plexion between, with almost equal effectiveness. Hut it becomes monot onous when nlnety-nlno out of overy hundred women wear It to tho exclu sion of all colors. Tho black hat is too popular with thoso who buy only one or two hats a season. An assem blage of women Is mado somber and commonplaco by tho overshadowing bkickness of their ljeadwear. It is much easier to couplo with the uurrent mode a touch of tho unusual and to find expression for Individual tnsto In millinery that employs color than in that which excludes It. The fashionable colors In dress and mill! nory fabrics aro rich and sedate, so that tho woman of outet taste has tho best of opportunitleu for expressing it without falling Lack upon black. But every wardrobe should include ono black hat, and this hat may bo made to do duty for several seasons. With this In view. the shape chosen should bo a form of the snllor. or some other that appears among each year's offerings. With tho coming of u now seanon tho manner of trimming these staplo shapes may be changed, and tho black hat held In rosorvo for oc casions where n colored ono seems not appropriate. Two varieties of the sailor are shown In tho picture given above with tip-to-dato methods of trimming them Besides the sailor thoro Is a conscrva they cost so llttlo ready mado, they nro among tho things that tho clover nccdlowoman can turn out at a con siderable saving, especially If sho uses needlework In decorating them. It Is tho time involved in these, as In rib bon neckwear, quite- as much as tho material, which llgures In tho price. Tho materials aro at hand everywhere. Blouse for Mother. A stunning blouse for an elderly woman (if there Is any such thing') is of gray chiffon and black lace with a banding of skunk around the neck and down each sldo of the front of the bust line. Tho sleeves, which have n cap top of lace and full under sleeves of tho chiffon, aro cuffed In the fur. Tho lace Is set In the back to form n point from the shoulders to tho waist line and In front extends from the shoulders straight down each side of the fur bauds. Velvet Basques Revived. The velvet basque Is a rovlval of tho eighties, which bids Talr to have a great favor in winter costumes. From Paris comes a charming basque, faced with nattier blue around the turnover collar and revcrs and belted at tho waist lino to stand out below In a crisp frill, also faced with blue. Tho sleeves aro very long and tho skirt, of black velvet, has a tunic of black chiffon, bordered with black woven moire stripes. Use of Color tlve turban worn with a scarf to match, which brings It into the fash ion of tho hour. r y For the Hair. One hears marvelous tales of th efficiency of kerosono as a hair rt storer. It is certainly a remedy tha 1b simple, cheap and easily obtained It is most effective when used about onco In three weeks, tho smallest quantity at a time, dropped with a ma chino oil can and then rubbed Into tho ccalp.

In evening gowns oven thoso of vel vet havo a diaphanous look because of the cobwebby laces shining with Inter woven metal threads that form bod ices and drop skirts. Layers of lllmy tull;s and chiffons float out airily as tho wearer moves or dances. Those which no noi navo encircling girdlo bands worn about them have over dresses of lovely old bluo, shell pink or amber yellow faille, brocaded Id glittering designs. Lincoln.
