out and wear It if yo.. would be in the
sparkle in her eyes, but the white
and pink tulle gave the appearance
of youth to her neck and the seed
pearls were mellow adjuncts to her
complexion.
The combination was so good that
it is worth passing on to those wom
en who, through age or sickness, have
lost the roundness of the neck di
rectly under the c hin, and who do not
wish to wear highnecked frocks In
the evening.

By way of trimmings for the severe
little black velvet hats jet buckles
have been revived once again, and
now in all shapes and sizes are being
used on this kind of millinery. Large
plain buckles hold in position the
sharply-upturned brims, or form the
support for osprey feathers or long
bows of the velvet itself.

No Frilly Under
wear
Underwear is quite transformed, not
an inch of superfluous fullness being
visible or permissible anywhere, and
trimmings being almost dispensed
with; while as to frills, they are there
absolutely banished, only to reappear,
however, in increased fullness and
profusion on the dresses, whose cling
ing slenderness of silhouette has first
been secured, however, by this reduc
tion to a minimum of the inner gar

Indeed, if new styles of dressing
provide madame with ample fullness
es and puffs and draperies around her
hips, she may not even be required
to submit to any particularly tighten
ing anywhere.
However, at present most people
feel the need of corset support. There , , _ . .
are innumerable styles to select from, ago one of the leading Parisian dress-
white, blue and white, and black and
white. This sash is also used to trim
some of the sports’ hats by being
twisted around the crown.
* * *
Some of the new winter dress mod-
elsshow .something very like panniers
on the hips. Two or three seasons
but all adhere very closely to the
established demand for a topless cor
set.
You see. the reason for this is due
to the ruling of the kind, O, very kind,
dressmaker, who has decreed “no
waistline” for this season.
Most of these corsets are but slight-
ly boned, while the materials employ
ed have ceased to be the heavy, thick
coutil of board corset days, but
rather the line thin batistes and
French coiitils of to-day.
In colors, flesh-tinted models are
the most fashionable. White will al
ways be a mainstay and a well-de
manded corset material. Each season,
however, some one color or fabric re
ceives a most flattering position, sar
torially, and this season it is be
come flesh color.
Italian knitted silk is the high style
fabric used for the choicest made
corset. Its low-priced sister is made
of flesh-colored cotton twill, but is
laced like its elegant inspiration with
dainty silk lacings and trimmed with
tine and delicate lace.
The chief requisite, according to
corsettieres, for a good corset Is to
eliminate too great a pressure on the
spine. Furthermore, it should not
restrict the circulation of the blood
nor shut out air circulation.
In consequence, it is better to se
lect a corset made of open mesh but
lirmly woven material than to choose
the heavier fabrics for your corsets.
This does not mean that the mesh
should be distinct at all, but that,
while presenting a fine, smooth sur
face, it should be of sheer rather than
thick material.
Camisoles to be worn over bras
sieres are provided for the hopelessly
plurrp person who may not don a
girdle corset with any degree of peace
of mind. But with the aid of bras
sieres—and most people are very glad
of the presence of the brassiere in
< orset shops and other stores—one
may garb oneself to conform to the
prevailing mode of dress without los
ing that sense of support which a
high-topped corset has always pro
vided.
* * •
Possibly there may be an item of
dress that fur may not decorate with
I'ashion’s fullest sanction; it has yet
to be discovered. Not only are bor-
derings and buttons of peltry given
to daytime and evening gowns, suits
and negligees, but hats have their
bands of fur and their fur crowns,
and the new very high boots that are
worn with the slit skirt and have
' uppers” of cloth or velvet to match
the toilet, are also finished with
their rouleau of peltry.
One of the most recent develop
ments of the peltry program is the
I'ermisslon given by the dictators of
the modes for combining two furs
in one scheme, with an effect that i3
not universally pleasing to the taste
of the fastidious, but is quite success
ful when well managed.
It so happens that ermine is the
fur that most harmoniously mingles
with something dark, against which
its brilliance stands out with due
splendor, and therefore the new
amalgamation generally Includes that
*nowy pelt.
A magnificent wrap-over mantle
combines ermine and skunk, divided
by an expanse of chalk-white broche
velvet. It is impossible to exaggerate
the beauty of the design, for the bro
caded velvet is most happily chosen
aince It throws into prominence the
blanche of the cape, with its black
fringe of tails and also the rich and
somber brown of the broad skunk
band.

Instead of a dog collar of velvet
which many women wear, because
they can’t think of anything else, a
celever woman, who admits being
middle-aged, recently wore a collar
of white tulle, which was evidently
lined with shell pink tulle. It was |
folded and drawn through long, slen- |
der bars of seed pearls. Black tulle B
w ould have accentuated the lack of
fresh whiteness in her skin, and dia- I
inonds would have shown the lack of
makers made a daring attempt to
bring panniers into fashion. This
clever artist makes frocks for sev
eral Parisian actresses, and with their
assistance she launched panniers of
various designs.
At first evry one said that this
revival of a picturesque old fashion
would have an immense success. Then
suddenly the pannier craze died out.
Hardly any one would accept the new
outline and the revival was pronounc
ed a failure. Then, after the space
of some months, one of the most-
talked-about dressmakers in Paris
started the rage for Parisian out
lines.
He gave magnificent Persian fetes
at his private house; in his studios he
created amazing Persian robes and
tunics and corsages. And about the
same time Richepin’s “Le Minaret”
became the most successful theatrical
piece of the season. The result of all
this was that the Persian “ligne” be
came universally popular, and from
the Persian outline we have, natural
ly, glided on to an appreciation of
pannier effects.

Children Elope, Wed;
Parents Part Them
POTTSVILLE, PA., Dec. 6—“What,
married and can’t have your husband?
I think it is a shame,” declared pretty
14-vear-old Minnie Reinhart, at the
Reading Railway station, when Michael
Coakley, her 18-year-old husband, was
taken in charge by his parents and
hurried to his home at Shenandoah.
The eloping couple had Just returned
from Elkton, Md., where they were
married. The parents, however, think
the couple are too young to begin mar
ried life.
The bride of a day is disconsolate,
and threatens to use the law to get
back her husband.
Explorers Hike 800
Miles to Reach Yukon
SEATTLE. Dec. 6.—Louis L. Lane,
Eben S. Draper, son of former Governor
Draper, of Massachusetts, Duncan Lock-
wood, a big game hunter, and Will T.
Hudson, a Seattle photographer, mem
bers of the power schooner Polar Bear
expedition, which got frozen In at
Flaxman Island, have arrived at Circle
City on the Yukon, having journeyed
over the ice and snow 800 miles' from
where the vessel is imprisoned.
Mrs. Lane received a telegram from
her husband reporting their arrival at
Circle City.
SLIT SKIRT IS NOW PASSE.
NEW Y'ORK, Dec. 6.—The slit skirt
is becoming passe. A fashion observer
records that not a single skirt of the
slit variety was worn in the boxes at
the Horse Show, which is New York’s
first “style show” of the year.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Wearing fur
around her ankles was the weather
concession made to yesterday’s chilly
winds by one fashionably dressed
woman, -who evidently found the
blasts of winter too severe lor her
thin silk stockings and low-cut
pumps. Every time she took a step
the strip of fur showed just above her
ankles and occasionally, as a strong
er breeze than usual blew, one saw a
bit of the thin stocking beyond the
band of fur.
As a warmth-producing article of
apparel the effect of a band of skunk
or an anklet of ermine might have
been questioned, but as a startling
fashion novelty the result was unmis
takable. Some thought it was fur
trimming on an article of lingerie;
others pronounced it merely the ec
centric idea of a faddist.
Instantly feminine minds grasped
the possibilities of the fur anklet. And
now’ the question is, Will the fad be
come a favorite with the sex or will
it remain an eccentric tiovelty of
the winter?
Hobble Skirt Given
Law’s Endorsement
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 6.—Wearing a hobble
skirt does not constitute contributory
negligence, even if its presence makes
it impossible for the wearer to run or
jump a picket fence to escape injury
from a falling horse, according to a ver
dict returned by a jury In the East St.
Louis City Court.
The verdict is in favor of Mrs. Lulu
May Williams against the Liberty Bot
tling Company, of St. Louis, for $1,500
damages for injuries received as the re
sult of the company’s horses falling
upon her.

PARIS, Dec. ♦).—Sunday will be one
of the great days of the year to our
charming little mldinettes. w^iose
pleasures are not many and whose
working hours are as long as their
pay is small.
One of the chief pleasures of the
midinetto is what she calls her ‘‘Jen
ny's garden” in her attic window*, and
to-morrow she will be presented with
thousands of crocus, tulip and hya
cinth bulbs by friends in society who
encourage her love of beautiful flow
ers, for “Jenny’s garden” hah the sym
pathy of Paris artists and literary
men. who also send her many statu
ettes uni little paintings.
The sympathizers of the workglrls
do more than provide them with
plants and flowers to decorate their
windows. They are having construct
ed a home of rest at Boisement. It
will be called the Jenny Villa, will
contain 70 rooms, and will be opened
next June.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—From the
hands of milady’s clothes builder
finally has come that wonder of won
ders—a buttonless, hookless gown!
It requires neither patience nor a
mirror; neither ime in the donning
nor a maidservant in the coupling.
The suffragette gown is the name
given the creation. And “creation” it
may well be called, for it has all of
the beauty of an afternoon gown de
signed to meet the requirements of a
discriminating wearer and the nu
merous advantages of the all-con
cealing house apron.
To Have Smooth, White,
Soft Skin All Winter
(From The Woman Beautiful.)
Does your skin chap or roughen easily
In tnis weather, or become unduly red
or blotchy? Let me tell you a quick,
easy way to overcome the trouble and
keep your complexion beautifully white,
smooth and soft the winter long. Just
got an ounce of ordinary mercolized wax
at the nearest drug store and use a lit
tle before retiring, as you would cold
cream. Upon arising, remove the coat
ing with sudsy water, bio wax. through
some peculiar attribute, flecks off the
rough, discolored or blemished skin.
The worn-out cuticle comes off just like
dandruff on a diseased scalp, only in
almost invisible particles. Mercolized
wax simply hastens Nature’s work.
Used as required, it keeps the face con
stantly free from devitalized scarf skin
and only the healthy, young-looking skin
is in evidence. It’s the best treatment
known for weatherbeaten, aged, muddy,
freckled, pimpled and all unbeautiful
complexions.
Some skins wrinkle easily in winter.
There’s an excellent remedy In a harm
less wash lotion made by dissolving 1
oz, powdered saxolite in Vfc pint witch
hazel. This will quickly eradicate every
line.—A/lvt.
