I' I Tact In Dress. ' : " , Tact in dress is necessary to every f. ' . . _ woman who hopes to become represen- I : . , tatlve of that refinement which Is the _ . chief ornament of womanhood or girl- I . hood. It Is rare that one sees French I . , people dressed out of l.eeplng . with .4. . ; ; their surroundings or position. . In the iI latter half of the nineteenth century a 0 : : " noted woman of li'rnnceI me , de Glr- C adln , said : "St 'le ought inevitably to I i : vary according to the position and age. . ,1z , It should fit Itself to the fortune , to : , < the habits , to the form , to the circum- t stances and Indeed to every detail In t3 ; ; : _ ' the life of those who wish to appear ( 1. . its leaders.

Sometimes those are part ' ' , ' of the evening wrap or cape , but more 1' ' : - - - often they are merely a piece of shirred and quilled silk pUffing over the coiffure with a wide ruffle filled In with plisse chiffon around the face.

It Is finished around the neck with a little collar of black velvet trimmed with embroidery , and the cravat and I high standing collar are of lace. The draped leg-o'-n1lllton sleeves arc trim- med to correspond. - - - Importance of the Veil. The veil Is always an Important accessory - cessorr to the hat , and veil modes change even more often than hats. The correct veil just now with the tailor hats , meaning the simple toques , turbans and Amazons worn with the short skirted tailor suits , Is of a fine figured lace , the color of the suit , or of some special trimming on the hat. These veils arc finished , as Indeed , fire all , on three sides , and when gath- ered Ull at the back fall in a short cascade For dressy hats the fine lined mesh nets , dotted with a few large chenille or velvet dots , arc cOHect. Sheer Chantilly lace and fine chiffon with lace insets are also worn br smart women ; hut the long automobile . bile veil is not worn except for real protection ! from the cold and wind. - - - Date Cookies.

The depth of shade will depend en- tll'oly upon lie IlualllHy or ammonia used and the time the wood Is ex llosed. - - ti ; Removable Billiard Cue Tip. The man who plays billiards Is generally very particular about the tip 01' the cue , with the consequence that the pro- prietoI' or a billiard parlor . pro9 has n number of cues con- stant1 laid aside for re- pairs. This represents considerable - siderable Idle capital , for . _ these Implements , being of , . ' - hard wood and very well , : .w made , are quite expensive.
