iV » EARING ine hat slightly to one
\Y/ s,'," Is verv In omir.K to some
fares. those with a dash of
fun anrl coquetry In their expression
Gainsborough's famous In chess of
Devonshire is an instance, ne width
of the brim adding piquancy to the
Vv hole. But the present fashion of
wearing the hat so one-sided that
part of the narrow brim points to tbe
•/.enith, while Its antipodes portion
i sts upon the shoulder, is apt to he
urotesqur* rather than picturesque,
especially when the wearer has an
air of solemn gloom as her natural
expression—many of us have. A
< lever w< man once wrote: "Never
cry In a rose-colored hat.” The
greater in. ludes the less, "Never look
glum in a one-sided hat.” Though it
is a fashion of the hour to wear them
*(>, no one need do it. The middle-
iged woman usually wears a look of
Anxious severity that sometimes
: mounts to scowling. It means short
s ght or a fear of looking too aml-
ehle, that is all: but to unite this
!e*rsorr expression with a hat stand
ing on its own brim, is to make «•
sartorial mistake of the first order.
, Some of the hats bordered all

I has attacked the silly plume without

rose, green, blue, citron and mauve
The most effective gowns are made
in one, though the three-piece dress is
still In favor. A tall girl in rose-
colored l rocade looked well of a re
cent opera nigh*. Usually the hack
of the gown has a wide, flat, pleat that
folds underneath at eitner side. By
tbe tailor’s art these are pressed ab

home life
Kristmas Gift for liach
Member of the Familv
This month, of all months, is the most popular
time for music in the home, on account of Christ
mas and the attending holidays.
Can you think of anything more entrancing or
delightful than to be able to enjoy any music, in
which you chance to delight, on the Kimball
player piano?'
If you have a ‘‘never played” piano in your
home, we will make you a reasonable allowance
for it, in exchange on a new KIMBALL
PLAYER, intrinsically your piano is worth
more than it will be later.
You are cordially invited to call and inspect
our stock, consisting of many styles of players,
which is most complete at this time.

flop This seem* to solve the prob
lem uh to the dividing line between
unnecessary width and the hideoital:-
unbecoming tightness that disfigure^
so many otherwise well-dressed worn
cn at the present moment.
• * •
The unlimited display of stocking
In the tango has given rise to the
“jeweled” garter, worn Immediately
below* the knee, and recalling Tom
Hood's "Miss Kilmansegg and Her
Precious Beg," to display which ne
cessitated a very particular type of
skirt, shorter on one side than even
Diana's* Those who have seen the
tango danced will realize what abun
dant opportunity It affords for the
display of stockings, even more at the
back than in front. This should
cause a good boom for fine silk stock
ing makers. The ^transparent ones
are becoming more and more reveal
ing with every week. Tango stock
ings are black or otherwise dark in
tint unless worn with white or light
gowns, when they accord with the
tone of these or are in gold color.
* * *
Coiffures are not worn so close- j
iy colled round the head as they were
a few weeks ago. Sometimes one
sees a conical coiffure, rising very !
high, but kept close and narrow be- J
• hind the ears, which are always cov- 1
1 ered. Another style has the hair lift - j
ed in a high billow on the top of ’he j
i head, supported by a "giraffe" comb, j
i Smaller combs retain the hair behind ;
the ears, leaving enough to cover the
latter. The forehead fringe is still
; seen and the chignon retains its
| vogue, partly owing to its usefulness
in showing the diamond combs so
much in fashion.
* • •
Kid and leather shoes are despised
bv the fashionable, though they are
i glad enough to fall hack upon them in
j muddy weather arid for wearing at
race meetings. On other occasions
; the shoes are made of very expen
sive materials, often richly embroid
ered. Kven silk brocade is ornamen
ted with stitchery for this purpose,
and sometimes Jeweled as well. The
fashionable heel is still extremely
high and it, too, is occasionally em
broidered and jeweled, though the
favorite is striped black and w’hite,
for gray and white, or black and red.
As to stockings, they are so much, in
evidence at present owing to the / re-
m&rkable styles of dress that, as a
natural consequence, they are of the
most luxurious character. Striped or
tartan silk and wool mixed are worn
in the morning, but in the afternoon
open-work lace, silk or thread are
tlie only wear.
* * •
Feminine to a degree are the sim
ple blouses of net and chiffon that
are used on so many of the afternoon
and evening frocks. Very often their
sole adornment consists of a few
tucks or plaits and a narrow band of
ribbon outlining the neck and, per
haps. edging the sleeve. A few
rhinestone or pearl buttons serve to
close and to trim them at the same
time.
• • •
Now that the art of dressing has
become a. vital thing, and the fashion
for vivid colors so dominant, wom
en see what can be done by a judi
cious adjustment of brilliant tones.
No longer need artists deplore the
lack of coloring in women’s dress,
for the feminine sex have advanced
too far along the line of color educa
tion to return now to drab tones.
This fact is dearly demonstrated in
the evening wraps.
One beauty is a proof that a woman
of limited Income can dress effective
ly at reasonable outlay. This wrap
is characterised, by long graceful
lines and drapery, and is developed
in chiffon velours. It is a model that
may be had in various pretty shades,
this particular example being of rich
petunia hue, and adorned with ring
ed buttons of the fabric. The low-
cut klfnono sleeve is set into a seam,
and at the extreme point of the long
collar th wrap fastens with a twist
ed motif made of the material.
The linings of these evening wraps
are in many instances as beautiful
I as the garments themselves, a fact
which adds considerably to their in
terest. For Instance, a model of rose
1 dll Barri corded crepe is turned back
at the hem, with the lining of Pais
ley-patterned black and white clilf-
fon. The fullness In the folds that
gives the wrap its drapery in front
is caught at the back with a motif of
Greek design carried out in pipings
of the fabric. Collar and cuffs of
I skunk add still another note of rich-
i ness to the wrap. In a coat of Jap-
1 ane.se blue plush the tightened effect
at the hem of the garment is effected
at the hack by a broad band of hand
some silk embroidery on gold plush.
The consummation of this gorgeous
| color scheme lies In an entire skin of
red fox worn carelessly across the
arms and fastened on the left shoul
der.
