Chic Gowns, Wraps
for College Miss
Apparel for Younger Set
Shown in Attractive
Variants.
College girls nre experiencing no
trouble In finding charming collections
of pretty clothes for their midwinter
social whirl, observes a fashion writer
in the New York Times. There are
smurf tailored sports outfits for the
athletic girl and for nil the younger
women who take purt In out-of-door
activities. Other costumes are de
signed for country cluh affairs and en
tertainments at country houses.
A choice model from Paris adapted
to the requirements of the American
girl comes from Suzanne Talbot, who
leaves the accepted fashion to create
nn outline that Is distinctly different.
She makes an all-day frock of the
sports type of beige and brown Jer
sey with n waistline at the normal
point, the stylish flat hip being
achieved by the use of shirring. With
It Is a blouse softly fitted into a
man’s shirt. This Is shirred into a
yoke across the front with a tiny frill
of brown grosgrnln ribbon down the
middle and an eton collar which is
finished with the ribbon frill.
The skirt of this dress hangs In In
formal plaits formed by the gathers
and is finished with a narrow band
of brown ribbon. This model Is In
tended to he worn under n tweed or
fur coat. It lias a schoolgirl air, hut
may suitably ho worn by anyone of
slender figure.
Two coats, one of English tweed In
brown mixture and one of Japanese
squirrel dyed In imitation of genuine
mink, are shown with this frock and
others of the same general style.
Also n sports hat of beige felt, with
the crown skillfully dented and
tucked here and there with a band
and how of brown ribbon. Is of
fered with the ensemble. To this are
added oxford ties of brown shark
skin and an envelope hag In beige,
brown and black with a dash of bright
orange designed in a modernistic pat
tern.
Many Varying Ensembles.
For occasions In any hut extremely
cold weather are shown many varying
ensembles of the youthful, chic, almost
boyish models. There are countless
variants of t his type of cost mite, some
bearing the names of authoritative de
signers. Jersey and wool mixtures
are apparently most popular.
Molyneux appears to introduce the
English idea iu some of Ids best mod
ids for sports and general wear out
of-doors. In one three piece suit lie
makes a straight, tailored box-plaited
skirt, and a short Jacket of brown and
beige plaid tweed, with a long slim
blouse of plain beige lersey. The
plaits of the skirt are stitched to
within a few Inches of ihe imiiom and
a wide plain girdle about the Idps gives
the desired Hat look. The coat is fin
ished with mannish tailored revers
and square flap pockets.
la a late model from Chanel the
entire ensemble Is made of winter
weight Jersey, the coat and plain
skirt being made of spruce green, the
belted Jumper of Jersey of green,
bright red. beige and yellow. The
neck is collnrless. being finished with

and warmth is added by using the
striped material for lining and cult's.
A belt of varnished green leather with
a bronze buckle; a hat made in hel
met shape in two sections of green
and beige cloth, and an orange,fox
neckpiece are shown with this ensem
ble. Some modistes suggest a straight
of triangular scarf of heavy silk or
wool—both of which are very fash
ionable—instead of fur for extra pro
tection.
In afternoon dress a distinct style
prevails this season in the wardrobes
of youug women, as in those for older
ones. Even girls of the high school
set and sub-debs are wearing pretty,
soft frocks for the lunch parties, mati
nees and tea dances. Velvet, crepe de
chine, moire and ninnn are used for
these In a variety of colors and live-
ly styles; velvet, both plain and fig
ured, being popular because It Is so
llutterlng; moire because Its weave Is
"dressy" and retains its pattern and
freshness through the hardest wear,
and crepe because of its graceful
draping possibilities and endurance.
Velvets With Lace.
Every girl who Is adequately
equipped for her winter campaign will
have at least one of each of these
frocks. Nothing is more lovely than
velvet In color or black, nfter the
fashion set long ago by the Little Lord
Fauntloroy dresses with collar and
cuffs of lace. It; Is one of those age
less styles that fits and flatters both
the young and the not-so-young, and It
has been revived with enthusiasm this
season.
The figured velvets In the non
crushahle and transparent weaves are
printed In geometries and convention
alized floral patterns in all the new
colors —the wine shades, forest, Jade
and blue-green, and a Japanese green
which corresponds to our chartreuse;
every shade and kind of brown and a
great deal of blue.
Different designers are known, par
ticularly this season, by the manner

in which they handle blue, and aro
showing many effective combinations.
Two and even three shades of blue
are used in one ensemble, and blue is
effectively allied with gre n, scarlet
and yellow in tones from deep orange
to pale lemon.
Paris sot the fashion early in the
season of black for youthful frocks,
which is shown most in velvet and
crepe for afternoon, and in a few mod
els from prominent itouses for evening.
A model for afternoon designed for
the girl who prefers a idnt of the
sports type in all of her frocks is
made by Berthe of I’aris in black tin*
crepe.
The skirt has two plaited tiers set
several inches apart and the plain
long blouse-bodice with a V neck is
belted with a narrow strap of black
varnished leather fastened with a gilt
buckle and trimmed with small bow
knots of gilt leather. One of those is
placed near the left shoulder, and two
close together at the lower right side
of the blouse. A more picturesque
style of hat is worn witli these after
noon gowns, and footwear is more
dainty. Chiffon stockings to match
the dress, though seldom black, and
patent leather, burnt copper kid or
suede shoes are considered fashion
able.
Even dress for young women and
misses is refreshing and full of charm
tltis season. Taffeta, flowered or in
plain pastel shades; moire in light
colors, velvet, chiffon and tulle are all
shown in different styles. Crystal
bends and paillettes are used to elab
orate some of the more formal gowns,
and in some models a bodice is beaded
or spangled, with the skirt of plain
sheer stuff, in white, black, or color.
Handbags in Novel Shapes.
A bag suitable for carrying with
various costumes because of its size
and simplicity, is made like a flat
pouch. The body part of the bag is
round while toward the top it tapers
off like the neck of a bottle and then
flares out. On the back is a narrow
strap for carrying. The closing and
opening process is achieved by a short
but strong strap fastened to the top
of the bag, which folds over and is
fastened with a snap. This opening,
which is comparatively narrow, allows
for roominess inside and permits the
carrying of the bag in any position
without there being any danger of tli'
contents falling out.
Greens in two shades are combined
in a medium size envelope bag. The
darker is used for trimming, which
consists of triangles placed one over
the other on the entire outer surface.
Bright green moire is used for the
lining and fittings, and a triangle mir
ror is fitted inside the bag and comes
Into view when the bag is opened.
Small and large pouch bags are be
ing featured in the leading colors in
plain and sports styles. Sometimes
two colors are combined or again two
■ different leathers in the same shade.
These pouch bags are made with new
fastenings, such ns modernistic latches,
fiat loops, tabs and concealed snap

A MORE IMPORTAN f THING
Brown, a retired business man, had
bought a big house In the country,
and he was very pleased to see that
a colony of rooks were building in
his trees.
Not so a neighboring farmer, how
ever, who told his sons to shoot the
birds.
One day the farmer had a note
from Brown.
"Dear Sir—You might stop your
sons from shooting my rooks. I want
to make a rookery.”
A few hours later Brown received
the following reply:

rooks from stealing my corn. I want
to make a living.”—Montreal Star.

ALL IN
REGINA’S
ABSENCE
((c) by D. J. Walsh.)
IT ALL came of Regina Could s be
ing sent to California as delegate
for the Woman’s club.
“There’s just one way I can go
Ellen,” she told Ellen Nugent. “If
you'll come and look after mother. I
can't leave her alone, you know, even
with Mary Sweet. As n matter of
fact, Mary Sweet needs quite as much
managing as does mother, and you will
he equal to every occasion.”
Ellen Nugent smiled faintly. Noth
ing so nearly like a blessing had ever
come to her before, hut of course, she
was not going to tell that to Regina
or anyone. She had come home tired
and discouraged and so nearly ill that
the doctor had recommended complete
rest for her. Added to that she had
lost her Job—the Job that she had re
lied upon for the past seven years,
ever since her father's death made it
necessary for her to earn her own liv
ing. He had left nothing, poor father,
but tender memory and a parcel of
debts which Ellen had somehow paid.
Thus today she found herself without
a Job, without savings, without the
necessary strength for getting another
job and very lonely and sad in the
cheapest room of Mrs. Hoff’s boarding
house. And now of a sudden came op
portunity, change, diversion and all be
cause for some unaccountable reason
Regina Gould, rich, fortunate and beau
tiful, should feel that she was the one
dependable person to whom slie could
look for a favor.
“I’ll come, of course, Regina,” she
said, trying to keep her voice steady.
“But I shan’t be you. And your moth
er and Mary Sweet won’t be per
suaded that I am. Still, I'll do my
level best.”
A week later Regina was on her
way to California and Ellen, accompa
nied by a shabby suitcase, was occupy
ing Regina’s pink-and-cyeam bedroom
in tiie splendid Gould house.
She sighed as she hung her two
wearable gowns on the nickel rod lie
side Regina’s superfluity of frocks.
And she sighed again when she went
down to lunch and found herself
alone, served by Mary Sweet efficient
maid, who eyed her with scorn as
she sat there in Regina’s chair. Mrs.
Gould seldom left her room. She was
a tiny, wispy old woman, with chronic
ill-health and an obsession for undis
turbed quiet, whose chief entertain
ment consisted of reading a certain
curative form of literature and listen
ing to her canary chip seeds.
After lunch Ellen attended to a few
duties prescribed by Regina and then
went to the library to read. Choosing
an armful of tempting books she curled
up on the davenport, tucked a pillow
behind her and gave herself up to an
afternoon of real enjoyment. It had
begun to snow in the thick, clotty
March way and tills made her sense
of security doubly delightful.
She had lost herself in her book
when Mary Sweet ushered a visitor in
upon her unannounced. She would
not have done such a thing with Re
gina, but she did it with Ellen.
“I beg your pardon!” the man said,
wonderingly. “You are not Reg—Miss
Gould—”
“Not in the least.” Ellen uncurled
and arose. He was tall, she was short,
and she had to look up at him. Up
lifted Ellen’s eyes were singularly
lovely with their blue depths and their
black pencilings. For the rest sbe
was just an ordinary little tired per
son, most unlike the golden and ra
diant Regina. “You wished to see
Miss Gould? I’m very sorry. She
just started for California this morn
ing.”
"And I,” said the man with a smile
that Ellen loved instantly, "have jusr
come from California to see her. (
arrived late last night. My name is
Gordon—David Gordon.”
“Oh!” Ellen caught her breath. So
he was David Gordon, whom Regina
had waited so long for. He had gone
away a long time ago and Regina ex
pected him to come back and finish
his interrupted love-making. He had
been too proud it seemed to actually
propose to an heiress. And now here
he was and there Regina was! How
unfortunate! Ellen wished she could
comfort him. He must be so terribly
disappointed. And poor Regina!
“Won’t you sit down?” she asked
him.
lie sat down. He was still sitting
there when the room became so dim
that Ellen had to pull on the light
behind her. Then he arose to go. She
hated to have him go. She liked him
so; he was so big, so honest, so inter
esting. What would Regina do in her
place? What would Regina expect
her to do? She asked him to stay
to dinner.
Mrs. Gould came down and kept
them company. She was very glad to
see David, but she did not say much.
She fbd the cat and let Ellen and
the guest do the talking.
The next day David sent flowers. It
was a graceful return for hospitality.
Then for some days she saw nothing
of him. She had hoped he would
come again. He had made a., strong
impression upon her. Stie was not
susceptible; she had never had a lov
er and she had thought she could care
for no man. But David Gordon had
got into her thoughts, into her heart,
into her life itself, and the more she
tried to rid of him the more his mem
ory persisted.
Then he came again. Ten days of
good food and rest and change had
beautified Ellen amazingly. She had
laid aside several years and David told
so He Drought
"her a box of candy and explained that
he had been out of own And he
asked her if she wouldn t like to go
to a concert that evening. .
Ellen was happy. She was go „
with David to a concert! Mrs. <Ju
thought it was nice, and even Mary
Sweet approved. But then Mary Sweet
was ull for Ellen now.
Ellen suffered temptation when • -
went to dress. There were all Re
gina’s frocks and she could wear one
if she chose, for even though Regina
was large those soft tilings could bo
made to fit anybody. There was one,
red w-ith splashes of heading. Sha
thought over it long, their she put it
back. It was not right that she
should be going to a concert in one of
Regina’s gowns with Regina’s lover.
She wore her black crepe. The mu
sic entranced her. It rang in her ears
all night. But she awakened to the
resolve that there should be no more
of David for tier.
It was not so easy, though, to get
rid of him. He came and came; be
brought her flowers and candy; be in
sisted on taking her to ride in the
new ear ire had purchased; he told her
all about himself, how he had bought
a piece of worthless-looking land and
later found that it had oil value; how
he had more money than he had ever
dreamed of possessing, no matter how
hard lie worked. And he wasn t afraid
of work.
He was very kind to her, but only
for Regina’s sake she knew. She was
grateful, but unhappy, because she
knew that she loved him.
Regina came back, handsomer than
ever, walking in several days ahead
of schedule.
“I got vour letter,” she told Ellen.
“So David is back! Well, I hope
you’ve been nice to him.”
“He has been nice to me,” Ellen said
faintly. “I’m glad you’ve come, dear.”
She went back to Mrs. Hoff’s. It
was all over.
That evening she was called down
to the parlor and there he was. He
took her in his arms.
British Crown Jewels
Make Dazzling Display
Within the concentric works of the
tower of London is Wakefield tower,
the repository of the regalia of crown
jewels of England’s royal house. Be
hind heavy bars of iron grating, these
priceless treasures in the shape ot
crowns, coronets, scepters, spurs,
bracelets, spoons, salts and tankards
glow in a blaze of diamonds, strange
ly dazzling to human eyes. A king
dom’s ransom is gathered there, and
the awed visitor knows that he has
never seen before and will never see
again such untold wealth in precious
stones.
The guide book calls attention to
the “Stars of Africa,” once known
as the Cullinan diamond. The eye
searches out the imperial state crown
which, containing 2,SIS diamonds,
297 pearls and many other jewels,
was altered to permit of the insertion
of the large oblong brilliant of the
“Stars of Africa,” weighing 309 carats
and cut from the Cullinan stone. The
alteration required the addition of
two sapphires, 50 brilliants and 52
rose diamonds. That single stone is
so large, so water clear, so brilliant,
that it exceeds the beauty ot the
crown and the crown’s jewels. That
priceless oblong can be removed from
its setting, at the wish of the queen,
for she has the right to wear the stone
when she so desires.
Scarcely eased of the wonder of
that magnificent stone, the eye falls
upon an even greater cause of breath
less admiration, for the royal scepter
lifts its slender regal length a little
below but directly in front of the
crown. Within its head, below the
cross, blazes the largest cut diamond
in the world, the largest of the “Stars
of Africa,” weighing 516% carats, said
to be beyond price. It is drop shape
and flawless, as are all the stones cut
from the Cullinan stone. Under the
light it has the matchless beauty of
drops of dew under a morning sun.
Under the spell of those stones, in
formation about the Cullinan diamond
is sought and easily found, so famous
is the stone. It is known that in 1905
it was found in the yellow ground of
the newly discovered Premier mine
in the Transvaal, being three times
the size of any known diamond. This
clear and water white stone weighed
3.025% carats, or 1 1-3 pounds, and
the largest of its surfaces appeared
to be a cleavage plane, indicating that
it was only a portion of a much larg
er stone.
The Transvaal government pur
chased this Cullinan diamond in 1907
for a gift to King Edward VII. In
Amsterdam it was cut into nine large
stones and a number of small bril
liants. All the stones are flawless and
of the finest quality. The two in the
royal jewels are the largest brilliants
in the world.
Under the magic of those stories it
is a bit difficult to realize that they
are chemically identical with charcoal
and can be reduced to that physically
’ different substance under great heat
or electricity. In spite of much scien
tific study, the origin of the diamond
still remains a mystery.
