I NEW YORK FASHIONS. | |§ Designs For Costumes That Have Be- f| jj| come Popular in the Metropolis. p NEW YOHK CITY (Special).—What nearly every woman aspires to own for her winter wearing is a directoire made wholly of velvet, its wide upturned rounding brim faced with white waved VLA BELIZE EI.DOP.AnO." chifloa, and the crowning glory of it a rhineatoue sunburst set aside at the base of the brim, where it flares up from the face. The sunburst is really the corner stone round which the properly de signed directoire is built, and aside from its virtues as an ornament it serves the noble purpose of bracing back tho brim so that it forms the proper sort of arch above the face. Whether the crown of her directoire rakes exaggeratedly forward or not, whether the whole hat itself is com posed of velvet that is of the common place weave, or that variety known as antique, are almost unimportant de tails of the woman who has staked all her claims to beauty on her strings. The directoire that is a force in tho millinery realms always has strings, HOUSE GOWN. STREET GOWX. PINNER GOWN. but as you hold dear your hopes of looking your best in your new winter hat, don't invest in ribbon strings. The most popular hat seen at the recent horse show is the "La Belle Eldorado," which style is often worn by Mrs. John R. Drexel, Mrs. Joseph \Videner, Mrs. William E. Carter, of Philadelphia, and other prominent women. It is a flaring round turban in style, worn off tne face, and is usually of sable or chinchilla, with a huge choux of velvet or tulle in front. Three Fetchlnc Coslnme*. Good-bv to the perfectly plain skirt. The Paquin plait, a single box plait of medium width running right down the middle of the skirt's back, and fastened only at the waistband so that it flares gracefully at the hem, is the hallmark of all the newest dress skirts and most acceptably. No woman of good taste can but hail the eclipse of the plain skirt with delight, and everybody must realize the increase of comfort entailed by the Paquin plait. Gowns may con tinue to sweep the streets and to wind themselves inextricably about the wearers' heels, but so long as they do not deprive her of the privilege of sit ting down—which is what the late un lamented plain skirt succeeded in do ing—she can forgive much. in the large engraving three of the most popular types of gowns, taken from Harper's Bazar, are shown. House or reception gown is of white cloth with lace applique at the bottom of the over-skirt. Atight-litting waist of cream guipure lace, with short jacket of tucked white taffeta com plete the costume. The street gown is of green cloth trimmed with bands of machine stitch ing and edged with black Persian lamb fur. The inside waist is of dark green velvet. The figured silk dinner gown is trimmed with ruffles and flounces of pleated taffeta silk. Lace revera are on the front and back of waist, and bands of lace insertion outline the ruf fles on the over-skirt. Tl»e Newest Feminine Fancy. "The newest thing to wear is a set of bags hanging from your belt, made of the same mater.'-U as your tailor made suit," writes Edith Lawrence iu the Ladies' Home Journal. "For in stance, Gladys describes a set of three to me which she had just made of the cheviot, a sort of mixed stuff, such as her gown was made of. One was for her poeketbook, one for her card case and one for her pocket handkerchief. They were different sizes and were lined with silk. They were suspend ed by narrow bands of cloth, which were stitched on both sides and stiff ened." Patching Small Gloves. When a glovo is too small aud splits, it is worse than useless to sew up the rent; it must be patched. The patch must be of kid of the same color. Turn the part inside out, having trimmed the hole round so that the edges are even, and cut the patch of kid to the right size. Then, with fine needlo aud cotton, sew in the patch, taking care only to take up the iuside of the kid and to keep the seam flat. If this be done neatly, tho glovo will be nearly as good as new. Oi«r<l Caseit For Women. The newest card cases are of fine leather, with a jewel set in the clasp like the parent fustener on gloves, ex cept that they clasp through a but tonhole in order to show on the out side. Genuine stones only are used by the best dressed women. Often the birth stone is chosen, although the diamond, pink pearl and sapphire are shown mostly in the best jewelry stores. Word, of the Proplict. The prophet says: That sleeves are not so tight by any means as they are going to be. TUat the box plait means skirts fuller and gradually more full. That by spring draperies will be in sight. That the vogue of the bolero will continue. That for evening dress tho most fashionable materials will be velvet in combination with transparent stuffs, Tlia Mont Popular Bodice. A novel neck arrangement is the chief feature of the bodice pictured in the accompanying cut from the New York Sun. The throat is open both back and front and there is no attempt at finish beyond the narrow, flat'lines of embroidery banding tlie shoulders and beading the blouse part of the corsage both back and front. Black lisse embroidered in gold and mounted upon black satin are the materials em- NOVEIi y-BCK ARRANGEMENT. ployed; the embroidery is gold thread upon black satin ribbon. The double curving bands holding the bodice ful ness in place upon the shoulders is a noteworthy detail. The sleeves ar« lined and have a caplike epaulet ot the embroidered lisse edged with black lace. Lace frills are at th« crista. Dirt Immune®. "All educated people know tbat cleanliness is of great sanitary value," said a prominent New Orleans phy sician, "but I think you will be a little surprised when I tell you that dirt is also a protection against con tracting disease. Now don't jump at conclusions," he continued, smilingly. "The fellow who don't bathe and who is uncleanly in his personal habits is very apt to get sick, but if that un oleanlinesa is handed down through several generations his great-grand children will probably acquire a cer tain amount of toughness that renders them immune to conditions which would be very dangerous to other people. That explains why folks who have been brought up amidst filthy surroundings are sometimes so strangely hardy. They sleep in vile tenements, disregard all sanitary laws, drink contaminated water, eat fialf-boiled food, and seemingly thrive. The casual observer is prone to regard them as living proof that the germ theory is all bosh. 'lf there was anything in it,' he will say, 'all those people would be down with typhoid in a week.' The truth is, they are dirt immunes, so saturated with the poison of a hundred years that the microbe has no power to harm them, and the existence ot such cases is no argnment whatever against the importance of sanitation."—New Or 'eaus Times-Democrat. Wlters Ideas Uave Caili Value. The technical name for a person who makes a business of selling bright ideas is a "ghost," says the New York World. Artists with technical genius but blank minds as to ideas to be carried out, regularly employ "ghosts." Home newspapers have re gular "ghosts." A suggestion for a caricature is worth money to them, and they pay well. There is another market for ideas, and that is among the advertising agencies. People who get up catchy ads for merchants have a corps of bright people who do nothing but make up combinations of pictures and entertaining wording for advertising certain classes of goods. A quick-witted "ghost" is worth everything to the advertiser. His whole fortune liangs on the success with which he engages the public aye. A young lady with an inventive turn of mind, who does nothing but think bright ideas for an art league, is paid according to the catchiness of the suggestion, from a quarter to $25 per "think." American Officers in Battle. "That British tradition about stand mg up under fire doesn't hold good among American officers," said Major K. F. Bates, late of the Eighteenth, speaking with the authority of thirty two years' conseoutive service. "We don't do it, for several reasons. It isn't safe and it isn't sensible, and it isn't just to the men. A soldier is, or ought to be, a machine. He ia there simply to do the fighting and the officers are there to do the think ing. No one man can do both at the same time, and if the officers are killed the troops are like an engine without an engineer very likely togo to smash. Consequently, an officer who needlessly exposes himself is wrong ing his men. There are moments, of course, when it is necessary to enthuse and encourage them—usually just before a charge—and the chap with the shoulder-straps must be ready to jump up and rush to the front; but I am speaking of the gen eral rule during a prolonged engage ment."—New Orleans Times-Demo orat.
