SUlhned Foundation Skirts
The coming vogue of overskirt ef-
fect will demand some considerable
stiffening to be used in the foundation
skirt for the natural awing of the hip
will give the top part of the skirt an
set ward tendency while the flounces
that are destined to fashion the lower
part of the skirt will require artificial
aid If they are to conform to the dic-
tates of Dam Fashion and continue
to display the same outward line In-
tertlnlngs and especially those of a
feather-weight nrincess haircloth are
la high fsor abroad and the best
rieri on this side have taken their
coo from' their Parisian brethren and
adopted the same to the great sue
cess of their creations

From the chef of a big eastern hotel
this relish for Dutch suppers
It la to be used as a filling for sand-
wiches) or with thin wafers to serve
with beer Put half a pound of rich
American cheese through a patent
grinder or chop It line Add saltspoon-
ftal of paprika a teaspoonful of salt

and It suits everybody Since it has
been so much In favor- many- new
shades have been brought out In it
and many new names given to old
colors We have mustard brown to-
bacco brown snuff brown golden
brown moleskin brown deer brown
and hundreds of others perhaps these
are more in favor than the mahog-
any shades' but not so much so as
walnut and chestnut tan mingles
well with brown and so does orange
A good many cashmeres and long-
skirted coats in line cloth have had a
great following in this color and rich
silk braid looks very well on ladles
cloth of tabac tone Terra-cotta or
wood shades convey more to the mind
but warmer tones of brown are really
most In favor Cashmere In these
brown shades Is trimmed with ruch-
ings of lace put on In a scroll work
Pretty pressing Gown
"Buctra wrap as we all require dur-
ing the winter months The "skirts
are very full Indeed there is very
little shape In the whole garment
bat a charming fin-
ish la arranged by
mesne of the full
collar shaped to a
point at both back
aad front - and
edged with a full
frilling of lace
The sleeves are
short puffed and
very full while at
the elbow a full
frill of the mate-
rial or if preferred
a deep frill of lace
Is arranged Just there held in place
by a band of ribbon or lace Insertion
or embroidery Any who desire It
can add a girdle sash or belt to this
dressing-gown catching the fulness
Into the figure at the waist-line if de-
sired The best materials to employ
are muslin plain sprigged or spotted
delaines soft silk nun’s veiling flan-
nel flannelette or even a soft serge
New Flannels for Waists
Gay checked and striped flannels of
all colors of the rainbow are in for
autumn waists Among 'them non?
are more attractive than a white flan-
nel striped at aide intervals with
bright colored tartan "A very smart
'waist of this kind was sent to a yourg
woman who means to stay at a noriu-
‘ern resort The waist was hand-
tucked in the front bringing the
bright red plaid stripes close togeth-
er in the front The full sleeves were
tacked and were finished with a small
turned back cuff of tartan Large
pear! buttons fastened the waist in
front Black patent leather pelts are
popular

udoir
nfidenced
Fuchsia reds and blues will play a
part In the color scheme
Topcoats for cold weather In cloth
velvet or fur will be much worn
How terribly incongruous most of us
are going to look in the empire modes!
Coats with the fronts cut like a
man’s evening waistcoat will be prom
tnent ' 'T'lrrr - -
The circular skirt will be ubiquit-
ous and most apparent In plaids and
checks
The postilion sill reign It will be
on evening coats of silk also on cloth
street models
Oval buckles of white pearl cost
little and give the inexpensive white
belt an Individual air
Among the new boas is one made
entirely of green leaves with pink
camellias at the ends
The smartest French mourning hats
are of black crepe trimmed with folds
and bows of white crepe
Lighter Colors the Mode
For several seasons past Dame Fash-
ion has been inclining toward the fair
tones She has worn the pale ecru
and the coffee tints and she has pnt
on mode and biscuit lilac and cream
with fawn and pale red thrown in to
afford relief when she became tired
of the others
The fashionable "woman of autumn
can wear light blue she can put on
a delicate grass green she can dress
herself in the color of the spring
roses and she can wear the faint tones
of heliotrope and gray All of the
pale tints are open to her selection
and all have the distinction of being
in the mode
The lighter tones are really more
becoming to women than the darker
ones There are few women who do
not look well in cream color Fewer
Indeed those who cannot wear white
And white cloth will be worn quite a
little this fall if Dot for shopping and
pedestrianism at least for reception
and calling
Straw Is worn much later now than it
used to be so few felt hats are yet
seen and unless those are in white
or the palest tints they have little of
the glamour of first millinery The
straw shapes are In the main darkly
colored browns blues reds and grays
standing out with prominence velvet
and wing trimmings mingling as
usual with the hat structure With
the plainer’ shapes or the big sailor
order there are big puffy crowns
pushed up at the left by some spe-
cies of trimming for a side lift or if
the hat tilts slightly forward the trim-
ming of velvet or straw Is massed underneath
Optimistic
i-et us b full of Jo! ’TIs belter far
Than to be full of sorrow many moons
Or eke of feathers anil the sticky tar
Ore eke of prunes! -
And let us sing through life! And If we
piove v
Bad singers though we vigorously
trite
There hate been folks sho’it done that
same and sho’te
(lot off alive!
And let us lote our fellow men! To-day
They pieach you cannot lot your kind
too much
L’nless of course they do presume essay
The frequent touch!
—New Orleuns Times-Democrat
