NEW YORK , Nov.25. . So far as we have
gone Into the season It Is evident that black
Is-hardly , at lea t > for younger womeri , cut
ting any figure at all. It seems only used |
bere and thcro to strengthen the dazzling
contrasts of greens , bluea and yellows. Six
out of every eight dancing and dinner cos
tumes hcok or button up In the rear and
iomo sort of flat trimming la let down over
the back , no on to successfully Imbue the
uninitiated beholder with the Idea that the
wearer was born In the gown or else It was
made on her as neatly as her own cuticle.
After all , the trains have not developed
well. Dowagers do drag about In the salons
well folded draperies , reinforced underneath
to give an Idea of body and Interlining , but
the trains the other women show are really
no more than flat , extra long flounces vf
chiffon that tog out behind , not too tidily ,
from * three to eight Inches. How the lively
belles will ever foot It , In waltz or polka , In
their new frocks , Is a problem , for what
with skirts at the knee not two yards wide
and flounces falling on the floor all about ,
anything more reckless than a slow , careful
pr6menado seems to threaten destruction.
Fnahlons ( or the Evening.
UndlspuUbly on a tall , slim , well built
woman thla style of costume la most' at
tractive and one of the goods worn very
much , because of IU capacity for taking
admirable straight folds , Is liberty velvet In
color pink , lemon yellow and sea green.
The velvet Is exceedingly soft and Is lined
usually with China silk or crepe de
chine , and however It may be trimmed the
orthodox woman la sure to wear one or two
pink or white or vividly red camellas di
rectly In front of tier corsage. The unfail
ing camclla Is an artfully made silk
flower , accompanied by two polished looking
dark green loaves ; the leaves arc allowed
to'rest ' against the wearer's white chest , to
show how dark one Is and bow fair the
other.
It 1 perfectly evident why long sleeves
arc the mode for the evening. In order to
achieve sufficient slcnderness to enable her
self to wear these new gowns every woman
has reduced herself until her arms are tco
lean to bear exposure , though Mrs. John
Jacob Astor for example li so round yet
slender that , saving her evening
glove , her arm Is always quite bare.
She Is one of the women who can wear a
perfectly plain velvet , hooked up behind , cut
square In the neck , short In the sleeve and
the bright beauty of the velvet and the
symmetry of her outlines , all unrelieved
save by a few folds of coral chiffon over the
bust and shoulders and a white camclla high
on thai left breast. Mrs. Astor Is one of
the women who rarely wears more than two
colors at a time , and those always distinctly
evening shades.
Apparently she does not approve of the
chromatic effects In yellows , greens and
blues , beginning with a deep tone near the
foot and shading out palely at the shoulders.
If any color Is run after this winter for
evening wear 1t is yellow , for If you select
the right tint or tone of yellow , whether

petticoat of pomegranate silk and then on

Among pretty oddities In evening sleeves
are tight satin arm bags that come to the
elbow ; there they turn back a deep Jeweled
cuff , while from this point to the wrtet ex
tends a rucked white chiffon swathing that
drops clear over the knuckles. Another
variety Is the sleeve to the elbow , letting
fall theinco long flounces always to the knee.

There is no rule to ect forth concerning
the shaping out of a decollete bodice. Only
women with such faultlessly lovely shoulders
Mra. George De Forest or Mrs. Potter
Palmer can cut all the dress away sduarely
over chest and shoulder blades. A pretty j
style has come to pass , and a benevolent' '
one , too , of treating the shoulders of an
(
evening body with lace points and letting
the points converge at the throat Into n
jewel collar , or lie In bands over the
shoulders , or otherwise admirably veil a too
aqulllno bone , bridge a hollow or break a
bad line. The cut out embroidery .done in ,
lovely colors on net and muslin , the beautl- ,
ful , pearl jet and spangle passementeries
are all serviceable for trlmmlnc up 'n ' this

effect of a decollete waist with none of Its
drawbacks.

cud of- the century has nothing charaotor-
j I istlc In the way of hair dressing to show.
Our great-grandchildren will never hark
back to 1898 , as we do to 1798 , for some
lovely style to adopt with a fancy dress or
borrow an Idea from us. Go to the theater
or opera If you like , lor even bonnets are no
longer de rlgeur , and you will be sure to
observe that the rule of head dressing Is
"go as you please. " Three horizontally fixed
rear puffs is still a good way for doing the
hair for the street , though the majority of
women prefer to roll up the length of their
tresees in a heavy long lump and fasten
that as low as possible on the neck. With
some women this bag of hair lies even out' 'j
on the shoulders , and with a long short-
toothed comb , that crosses the base of the
head behind the ears , everything Is somehow
made fast. These combs are nothing more
than the old round pompadour combs put
to a now use.
Ono drawback to this headdress , as adopted
by day , is that it can rarely be kept tidy ;
It Is ludicrous with the new hats and the
natural hair grease rubs off on the shoulders
of the gown.
ChnlnH for the Co I ( Tare.
In the evening It Is very pretty , for a mass
of bright black , yellow or brown hair down
on white shoulders Is' becoming to moat
women , while some of these combs are
topped with brilliants , and at either end the
Jewels form a sort of rosette , or two big
glittering buttons behind the wearer's cars.
Not a wisp of a bang Is seen feathering out
on any thoughtful white forehtad , and only
one new hair ornament la talked about.
Thla Is a little jeweled chain about eighteen
Inches long , having a fuchsia In diamonds
or a daisy at either end. The chain Is
meant to be woven among the cells of hair
and the flowers of brilliants peep out at any
point desired.
Over In Paris where Mrs. Pell recently
gave , to her friends In the smart American
colony , a splendid dinner and dance , a num
ber of these hair chains were worn. Some
of them were draped over the coiffure , were
punctuated with small jeweled flowers at
every Inch or were a chain of email carved
gold bolls that tinkled musically at every
movement of the head they adorned.
Toilet Hrlc-a-Ilmc.
A pure slate blue Is the color of the sea
lion skin from which the small traveling

lion skin , made fast with gold-headed 'nails ,
are the most novel umbrella handles In tht
market. Sea lion , like alligator skin , Im
proves In tone by use , but to give oven a
slight description of the varieties of handles
offered for umbrellas would verily bo to
mention full five hundred sorts of materials
and shapes.
Young Mrs. Howard Gould for Instance

favorite silk rain protectors , as the color of
her gown or the preferences ofa , moment

. A hat with a fur brim may sound weighty ,
.but It Is pretty for all that , especially If the
fur Is chlncllla and the crowu Is a flat Hol
bein affair pressed back on one side by a
huge rosette of white feather ? . That at least
Is one typo of the headgear that has a fol
lowing just now. A great display la made
In the shops of tiny toques , twisted up out
of a half yard of bias velvet and absolutely
nothing more. The velvet Is usually of the
; mo9t daring color , or shaded like a rain
bow , and has two tall rabbit ear points
springing up in front
The worthy guinea hen makes the most
hay In the autumn sunshine , for we now
have hats the crowns or brims of which
are made of the pretty speckled feathers.
Brims are sometimes appropriately faced
with thU barnyard plumagu and there Is
by the way a deal of emphasis laid on the
facings of a hat. The milliners have per
suaded many customers to have a narrow
line of scarlet spangles run In under the
brim and just In front next to the hair. 13y
this device , the bat makers say , a warm
red light Is reflected on the cheeks just
Under the eyes , thereby greatly adding to
the brilliancy of the latter. Dlor/de / women
face their hats with turquoise'blue chenille
lace , and sallow women take a dash of pale
pink under the brim , and all these devices
are said to be actual helps to beauty.
Any woman , say the wiseacres , looks tbo
better for wearing white or cream white
tulle next her face , and acting on this
suggestion every woman who studies her
appearance wears a tulle stock and a big
tulle bow under her chin. Some of them
button up their black , brown or dark green
cloth walking coats to not only a tulle
collar , but a small tulle dicky that spreads
down below the bow. They get by this
means the same crisp charm of linen , with
none of Its harshness , for In cold weather
linen Is a cruel trial to the tender flesh
of feminine throats. Tulle bows and stocks
are not after all BO fragile as they sound ,
and not a woman that wears them but adds
something to her looks by their aid. The
newest ribbon collar Is without a bow , but
has a jeweled clasp Instead. It winds twice
about the neck and fastens in front , the
two parts of the clasp being sewed to the
ends of the ribbon. The clasps are either
of real Jewels and precious stones or clever
and almost as serviceable Imitations.
Illuctrntlnn * of Fanhlona.
What some of the now ovorsklrts look
like Is suggested In the accompanying pic
tures this week. The gowns that are coupled
together show first a costume of rich red
Nassau cloth , having a polonalso of velvet
in a deeper tone , and the pointed front of
the polonaise overlaid with gray Russian
1 lace. The sleeves are also treated with
lace , while a full Jabot falls over the
bust. The companion dress Is a wool bcnga-
llne In Lincoln green , worn with a redlngote
oversklrt of figured French fantasle. The
i waist has tucked green silk sleeves and yoke
and a tiny pocket of laoe falling over the
lower figured half of the body.
The braided gown is elaborated In gray
ottoman cloth , striped In a narrow and
widely set figured band , and the second pic
ture shows a theater dress of molred satin
upon a rosy lilac faced cloth skirt The
, satin drapery Is edged and figured with Jei
and the same scheme of decoration Is re
peated on the waist.
A group of ball gown bodices Is glvon
In the second series of pictures. Each of
j these elaborates In detail the fact sot forth
' above that few women would any longer
cut their gowns according to court regula
tions , that Is open and unrelieved from
shoulder to shoulder. Lace treatments are
popular and pretty and by any one of these
'sketches an old waist would not only be
renovated , but given a decided air of novelty.

ERASING EXTRA FAT.
Meant ) ( or Iloldlnir In Check the Cor
pulent Tendency.
Healthy human flesh Is not so solid , so
obstinates nor eo quick of growth that It
cannot be successfully checked or removed
without Injury to the well-being , spirits
or good looks of Its posaeajor. On exactly
i the same principle any fairly healthy person
j can acquire bard flesh by other moans
than eating cream tarts and abstaining from
exercise. This will be cheering news per
haps to many thousands of American women
who for comfort's or vanity's sake heartily
deplore the fact that only by the sweat of
their brows or by monkish abstinence have
they hitherto been able to keep their pound *
In proportion to their Inches.
The pleasant assurance comes from an
American man , who says this desired
equilibrium can bo certainly maintained
and neither dieting nor tremendous manual
labor need be the means resorted to. DietIng -
Ing boa been faithfully tried and It baa
always proven as Injurious as It la In
effective , while physical exercise is all very
well In theory , but there are mighty few
busy women who can or will take enough
of It or follow severe athletics persistently
anough to overcome the Inclination toward
the formation of adipose tissue.
After all has been done and said ther
Is only one way of overcoming this de
generation Into fat , and that la by manage.
With a Swedish rubber , who scientifically
understands her profession , fat can be dis
sipated. Dut a scientific Swedish masseuse
Is a juxury only the wealthy can enjoy , BO
the rttfuge for ninety and nine women , who
hitherto have berne their fat as bent they
might , Is to buy a little appliance called a
massage -roller and co at the business ot
fat reduction themselves. A massage roller
Is a very innocent-looking utensil for the
great work It performs of bringing figures
Into bounds. It consists offour solid wooded
wheels , about os big as Mexican dollars , re
volving on a small wooden bar , By a handle
fastened to a tight frame the wheel * are
pushed about on tbo principle of a lawn
mower over the gross , and every ono ot the
wheels is bound with a rubber band.
Applied In the right spirit , this little In-
vr tion , that wll ) fit.Into a skirt pocket , will
develop all the virtues of dumbbells , In
dian clubs and a bicycle rolled Into on ? ,
cilc.y because It acts with rapidity iintTl
variable efficacy , and no particular effort
or will strength Is required to keep It In
operation. The object of Its use Is to secure
exactly the some effect on the fatty tlsiu s
anil the muscles as the hands of the skillet
j
masseuse , with the blessed difference that
no particular skill Is necessary In Its em
ployment , and on experimenting with It the
general effect will be found superior to the
labor of the human hand ,
i * Armed with a muscle roller the Individual
cursed with flesh will In the morning , after
i'her ' bath , slip Into her wool or cotton under-
| I clothing and roller In hand attack her
enemy. Back and forth over the hips , 'up
and down ehe will run her roller. This she
can do till the hips cry out for mercy , for at
preliminary- of the roller It will seem to
bruise the flesh and excite the languid
muscles like a flrst game of golf or a long
horseback ride. Next she can attack her
upper arms , running the roller from elbow
to shoulder and never across the muscles , for
the advantage of the roller Is that It In
creases the circulation , excites the muscles
to effort and brings a hard , even pressure ;

on the deep tissues and not merely on the
surface of the skin. As a matter of fax
the rubber wheels exclto no surface frlct'.on '
at nil ; roll them up the arm easily and as
you do It you will feel thorn down to your
very bones , while tie skla Itsolt Is scarcely
disturbed.
Heroin lies the prime Tlrtue of this tool.
If you ask a masseuse to treat you for flesh
she will try and dissipate the fat cells by
kneading and pounding. Bhe must exert her
efforts to got beneath the skin and that Is
what the roller does all ahe time. It goes
right at the muscles and sends the fat cells
flying. They cannot form , neither can they
exist under the rotation of those rubber-
tired wheels.
If a woman proposes to use the roller to
best effect she should buy and hang up
In her room a diagram of the direction of
all the muscles In her body and whatever
point In her frame she proposes to reduce It
Is wisest always to learn the course of the
muscles there , rolling them as they run.
To knit up the muscles of her abdomen she
will treat herself up and down each aide
of It and night and morning run her
roller as often as 100 times In one spot
After the first few days all feeling of
soreness will pass off , and then the effects
of the treatment begin to show. By regu
lar exorcise of the rings as much as five
Inches reduction In hip girth can be secured
in six or eight weeks , and In proportion the
other portions of the body con be brought
down. As the touch ot rubber against the
skin Is not agreeable and as the oils In the
skin tend to discolor the tires on the
wheels all the rolling Is done over the night
dress on retiring and over the underwear
In the morning. In the morning this ex
ercise is most comfortably pursued after
ono's bath , and then , If from neck to heels
the rubber rings are passed In rapid rota
tion , such a delicious glow of circulation will
be set up that jiot even the moat experienced
masseuEo could bring about.
When beginning the use of a roller a
woman should take the circumference of
her hips and week by week Judge of their
shrinkage by her tape measure. When she
Is satisfied that ehe Is getting the best of
her Desh there , let hei buy a new roller

having only three wheels , and begin to
roll away her chins and take the wattles
out ot her neck. With the same roller she
can reduce her bust measure by half a dozen
nchcfl , but this labor must bo done by rcgu-
atlons not In the least difficult to under
stand nor so complicated that to follow
thorn will take any valuable tlmo from her
pleasures and duties. To lay a handker
chief over the neck or cheeks ami exercise
the roller carefully will not only pull flesh
off from a fat face , but put It on a lean
one , and In the beneficent act It flattens out
deep lines , discourages wrinkles and stirs
up an energy In the blood that Is wholesome
and beautifying.
As further aids to her comfort and what
Is just as Important to a woman , her coed
looks , the roller Is almost Indispensable.
When , because of too much brain work or
too deep Indulgence In social frivolities ,
Insomnia Instead of sound sleep sits on one's
pillow , when Bcrvos got the upperhand and
a tort of debility proceeds from cold feet ,
then the virtues of a roller shine brightest.
Massage , under these conditions , will give
very prompt relief , but massothcrapy Is
oven bettor. In three minutes a swift
movement of the roller will send the blood
coursing Into the extremities , and when
evefy nerve Is vibrating to a different tune
the most Inexperienced hand which runs the
roller up and down the sufferer's back brings
relief that Is magical.
Almost chronic Insomnia can bo broken
or relieved by this device. If , wVa the
sleepless one gets Into bed , she will see that
her feet are warm , her head Is cool , tbo
temperature of the room be-low CO decrees
and the fresh air plentiful , then all she
needs is to have eomo friendly hand run
the roller over her night dress and up and
down her back. In eplte ot habit , eho will
drift away Into unconsciousness. She can
He down a half-hour In the afternoon and
have her back rolled , when her head aches
and her temper Is none of the best'and
rise a now woman , ready for a dance or a
dinner party.
So much can be eald for the roller as ap
plied to feminine needs. A man can get
as much benefit from a two-handled affair ,
with twelve rubber-banded wheels on It ,
and If his wife can , with her roller , keep
her figure within any bounds ehe pleases ho
can serve himself equally well and by use
of a roller counteract the effects of his
sedentary office life , his rich dinners and
his lack of opportunities or energy for the
athletics that go to make a well-proportioned
figure.
HOLIDAY SHOPPING.
Uacfnl Mcinornndnm Hook ( or Saving
Time and Nerve Force.
These are the days for making an In
valuable memoranda book for Christmas
buying , to Include a list of gifts and of
people , with notes on their pot hobbles and
their needs. Be wo housewives , or bread-
earners , or only busy women , there Is a
periodical puttlng-off of holiday shopping
until a day or two before the last moment ,
or , If not that , perhaps a few forgotten
relatives or friends we really Intended to
Include , but with the rush of last moments ,
the jostling crowds In every shop and the
depleted stock , wo are In despair. We can
not think of what we want , wo cannot find
even that of which we think , or perhaps re
member seeing the very thing , but where ?
Here Is a little scheme one can work out
to milt herself or her fallings. Purchase a
small , 6-cent notebook , attach a pencil and
carry It aa religiously as the latchkey or
pocketbook. Use the odd moments ,
especially when In the shopping districts , to
look over the stocks displayed , If only keepIng - |
Ing on eye on the goods shown In the
windows. When a novelty or some par- I
tlcularly dainty bit catches your eye. jot
down in your little book the article , price ,
If given , but always the shop where It Is
exhibited.
This scheme olds the memory to recall
a variety of available things at a glan-e. _
For the few moments required In tlmo and
trouble the return will be mor * than 100
per cent In the saving on nerve force.

Catarrh and Nervousness.
A nervous person nearly always has ca
tarrh. Catarrh Is one of the ways In
which a depressed condition of the nervous
system shows Itself. Catarrhal people are
soon made nervjus. The relation between
chronic catarrh and nervous debility Is most
Intimate.
Catarrh Is chronic congestion of some mu
cous membrane. The nerves , which should
guard the mucous membrane against con-
non
gestlon , are depressed and their funoUon -7
partly destroyed. The nerves that should /
control the circulation In the mucous mem "
brancs are called the vasa-motor system of /
nerves. Depression of the general nervous - {
system soon leads to depression of the vasa-
motor system. Depression ot th vasa-
motor system ot nerves at once causes
chronic catarrh.
Any remedy to effect a radical cure ot
chroulc catarrh must operate directly
through the nerves , invigorating the
cous circulation.

was rapidly leading to
chronic catarrh. I tried
several remedies without
relief. Seeing Pe-ru-na
so highly recommended
for catarrh , I was per-

and the result was EO
favorable that It 'was surprising even to my
