Embroidered Front Panele.
This kind of ornate touch on a skirt
Rave the dressmaker a chance to re-
lieve the severity of satin and chiffon
without piittniR on Kesaw that were
not in keeping with the hour or the
costume. The front panel became the
IiarkRroiind for skillful needlework. On
it has heen worked out in the peasant
or medieval fashion a hold design in
bullion or rolored crystals in order
to carry out the effect of an apron worn
by a .peasant on a holiday.
Some of these panels are made of
heavy silk or satin and are itiffly en-
t rusted with bullion threads catching up
the colored crystals in a complex de-
sign ; others are of soft satin lavishly
sprinkled with jet beads and bugles in
wheels flower and geometrical lines.
This autumn after the first Trench
gowns had come over there appeared
a number of one-piece frocks to be worn
in the afternoon under a long coat
which showed the Hrittany apron as
a part of the frock. It was not long
enoui;li for a panel ; it was round and
short and coquettish and it was made
of ornamented chiffon kt in to the
satin or cloth which formed the frock
I he public bought of this model
sparingly: anil then came the frock like
the one sketched today with its long
graceful panel floating from waistline
to hem of skirt as a glittering adjunct
to an otherwise plain bit of drapeiy.
The Incoming of Gray.
As the winter advances more and
more women seem to prefer the various
tones of gtay for afternoon costiimcry.
S.itin chiffon and crepe de chine are
the leading fabrics trimmed with silver
ami black brown or gray fur.
I'hc gown shown here is of gray chif
fon the slender surplice bodice and
lielt embroidered in silver. I he plain
skirt is finished with brown fur at each
side and the entire front is covered
by tins apron of the chiffon heavily em-
broidered in silver threads.
There is a tendency to omit fur from
the front of the frock when there is a
piece of it at the sides and back and
on the other hand a long apron of crvs
tals and bullions will be held down bv
a ten-inch band of fur the like of which
does not frjipeaj on any other part of
the skirt
J lie Ivussian method of putting a
separate even hand of fur around the
bottom of a coat or a skirt. has xau-
ishrd with the fashions of last vear and
although there is no disposition to mm
iinie the popularity of peltry there is
a sirojiR desire to use it in patches In
Mead of masses. I he danger of this
fashion lies in the bauds of amateurs;
it gives them a (hance to use up old
bits of fur in a maimer which if not
guided by skill ami artistry turns the
wearer into a patchwork mult.
The ornamental tassels which are
placed in front of the hips on this gown
are of a strong tendency to create
demand for tassels on every costume
These pendant ornaments are made of
colored crvstals of ( hmese mixtures
of silk and metal and again of plain
floss.

How I Economize
I resigned a good position in order to
attend the stale university here and
mother ami I are Irving to live care
fully. Most articles concerning eron
omv deal with large families and buy
ing in quantities. In small families this
is wasteful for apples and potatoes rot
and fteere and some of us jive in such
tmv quarter that there is no room for
a hundred pounds of flour and a case
of goods.
No nutter in how many meals we
have the ame article of food it always
appears in a new dress and. thanks to
my mother I am never called to tjie
same food in the same dish with the
same spoon from the name upot on the
table.
We go to market never order over
the telephone and always pay cash.
True economy lim in saving your
surplus and buying only what you can
make use of.
Mother say the laying on of pat
terns requires planning in order to save
cloth. A bargain is not a bargain tin
Irs you can make use of it. I am to
have tin dies trimmed with head
applique that has already served on
two dressr. but still is good as new
although six sear old.
You should see my mother's scrap
bag -bits of lace bits of rihbon scraps
of silk and trimmings and buttons of
every description ready to be called for
We have a doien linen waist yet which
contain material for a goodly number

IIOSTETTER'S
DITTOS
While Joe Carson is "the weak link
in the chain" in the story of "Within !
the Law." thai really remarkable drama j
of criminal life where law and wealth I
are often shown to walk hand in hand
leaving justice quite alone and forlorn
the playing of it becomes quite the
stellar role in the bands of Joseph
Sweeney fie has here undoubtedly
hi best chance Miiee the Overholser
Players opened and he is takmg advan-
tage of it to the greatest extent.
He is splendid as the crook uhn
through his own weakness brings the
law once more upon the head of the
girl he loves and who makes recom-
pense with his lite. Too much cannot
be said of his portrayal of this charac
ter which is at all times uniisuallv
strong and convincing. In the last act
where he is put through a form of the
third degree his acting is so natural as
to he harrowing to the audience ami
this in a most subtle manner.
Miss fluff also reaches heiehts in her
portrayal of the part of Mary Turner
the shop girl who sent up on a false
charge upon her dismissal from prison
turns her sharpened wits to the legal
ueiraiidiiig ot a public which she
naturally thinks owes her a livinc I
having as her vital interest in litr
vengeance on the employer responsible
tor ner unjust conviction. In fact the
whole play with its clever and at many
times most impressive lines gives the
best opportunity as a whole company
for emotional work that the flayers
have bad. Miss Kristowe as Aggie
Lynch the ingenue crook is just as
clever as she ran be and draws ap-
plause with almost every speech.
Carl Rrickert had the svmpathv of
the audience from bis first appearance
with his charm yoiithfulnrss and sin-
cerity. It is a disappointment that Kd
ward ttil.ler. the father upon which
part depends mu.h of the strength oi
the play was so noorlv handled. It is
distressing!- weak both in stmnhlin
line and play and did miirh to mar
the unity and interest of the fM BCt
particularly. In the other three ads
the strength of the other parts fortu-
nately is able to do much toward cov-
ering up this weakness yet at all times
is it painfully apparent. I he minor
parts are well taken care of Kay
Hrown as Sergeant (. assidy being par-
ticularly good. And one cannot over-
look the artistic settings of the ecortl
and third act. They are worthy of a
firtt class road company and leave
nothing to be desired in that direction
the company merits special emmnen-
nation in this particular aS tirrwliif.
Hon is always strengthened bv the giMM
background. The public should be well
pleased with "Within the law.
