STREATER. %l THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAK OTHING is so noticeable in the most elegant millinery prepared for the fall season as ostrich feathers. Short, broad plumes and tips lead in popularity. After them ostrich feath- ‘ers developed in fancy forms have demonstrated the ingenuity of manu- facturers in copying flower forms and in originating all sorts of new deco- rations. This fancy ostrich is to take the place of prohibited aigrettes, much to the satisfaction of all right-thinking people. America having taken the in- itiative in doing away with the al- grette, French and other designers have replaced it with ostrich and other fancy feathers quite as airy and beau- titul, Many of the new shapes are wide- brimmed, and wide brime always mean long and short plumes. Three hats are shown here in which the use of os- trich plumes in the best of mountings may be studied. It will be seen that one may use a single plume of medium length, or two long plumes, or many short ones, with equally artistic effect. But for some time the simplest forms of trimming have characterized the work of the greatest designers, and a single plume of finest quality mounted on a velvet hat leaves nothing to be desired in the way of art and elegance. The black velvet hat (shown in the picture) having a narrow brim at the right side, which widens and lifts to i the left, is decorated with a single white plume. ELAND, FLA., SEPT. 14, 1914. This plume is mounted on the un- derbrim, and its full, broad end, or “head,” falls across the hair and back brim, The beautiful picture hat, having a wreath of ostrich tips about its brim, with ends curling upward toward the crown, is finished with a half plume on the bandeau and underbrim at the left. To add any further trimming to this model would be as foolish as adorning the lly or painting the rose. A wide-brimmed hat, in which a single magnificent plume is mounted on the crown at the right side, is most original and daring in its use of oe- trich. The end of the plume is cut off at the beginning of the flues. The plume is laid upon the crown and sewed down in two places. It is left free to curl and curve at its own sweet and graceful will. A narrow band of handsome moire ribbon, tied in the simplest of bows at the left side, fin ishes the hat. In this model the body of the hat amounts to eimply a set- ting for the plume, which is featured by the manner in which it is placed. Ostrich plumes and tips in fine qual- ity make a good investment because no matter what the vagaries of fash- fon they are never “out.” JULIA BOTTOMLEY, It is sad to see family relics sold at auction, but the most pitiful thing under the hammer is generally your thumb npail.—London Tit-Bits, The Basque’s the Thing FOPOPOHBIEB PO POFGSOFOIOEOFSBOEHI0P 'HE most prominent feature in all au- | thoritative displays of new styles in gowns is the basque. It is shown in several developments, including mod- els which hang straight from the shoulder to the swell of the hips. But this model is not as graceful as those which follow the outline of the figure. None of them is tight fitting. They fasten either in front or the back. | A gown designed by one of the fore- most French costumers {8 shown in the picture given here. It is an excel- lent combination of the new basque and plaited skirt in a one-plece gar- ment. Where the basque and skirt join, a narrow girdle of the material of the dress is sewed down and fin- ished with a small bow at the back. Fancy buttons are set on, but in real- ity the basque is fastened with hooks and eyes. The front of the garment is cut like the back, in a “V” shape at the neck. This gives opportunity for the intro- duction of white next to the face. A L . S+ 40008400000 640400000000 guimpe with flaring collar made of fine organdie fills in the open space. The basque hangs straight from the bust at the front. The shoulders and body are cut in one and the shoulders are very long. In this, as in other basque models, long sleeves are shown. They taper in toward the waist, and cuffs are worn with them. In the gown pictured the cuffs are of organdfe, but stiff linen cuffs are very smart, worn with black satin gowns. Women will welcome the return of plaited skirts. The plaits are pressed down and the skirts at most are two yards wide. This gives m for a comfortable stride, but preserves the effect of a narrow skirt. A very new basque has been made in which a straight panel is set in down the back. The underarm por tions are gathered and joined to the panel with a piping. Pipings, in fact, are much in evidenqe on many of the new gowns. JULIA BOTTOMLEY, AVOID TIGHT SLEEVES ARE SURE TO BRING ABOUT RED- DENING OF THE HANDS. | Easy Method of Improving Square or ' Spatulated Finger Tips—Graceful | Gestures Do Much to Con- i ceal Natural Defects. | If the hands are large and inclined to redness, it is wrong to wear tight sleeves. The pressure on the muscles of the arm will make the hands swell and emphasize the knotted look if this defect exists. women of refined taste should fear, is the direct result of close sleeves and wristbands too tight. Such fixings, merely from the esthetic point, are be- sides very unbecoming to a large, ill- formed hand. Square or spatulated finger tips may be improved by a daily pinching up of the ends of the fingers. But this must be done often to obtain good results, and, of course, it is not to be expected that filbert nails and al- mond-shaped finger points can be ac- quired if nature has denied them. The best one can do is to try and improve defects through . infinite care, the study of graceful gestures, and artis- tic and becoming costume. It the nails of square finger tips are cut square, the nail will continue to broaden and flatten. The nalls should be cut in a delicate oval, with the curve left somewhat longer than the flesh, and this trimming as well as the pinching must always be done after the hand-bath, which, of course, must be taken in hot water with a good soap. Flexible movements of the wrist de- cidedly change the impression of a large and otherwise beautiful hand. To quote the people who make a cult of graclous movements of the body, never take a thing from another per- son; receive it. Which is to say, never stretch out a stiff arm with un- ylelding wrist, hand-back up, for the articles, whatever it is or how anxious- ly wished. Put out the hand with el- bow bent, palm up, the fingers curved. This attitude of the hand and arm at onoe suggests graciousness, whereas the poker thrust from shoulder to finger tip hints of a nature naturally rough and unfeeling. In the same way, the woman who keeps her fingers always close to one another 18 doing violence to the more beauti- ful language of hands. Hands held tightly, as the expression is for such members, imply stinginess, doubt of others, and deceit. The open hand, the one with flexible wrist and fingers held apart, {s bound to go with a gen- erous naturs, even if it is also a spendthrift one. Molst hands are an affliction to their owners, and they certainly are not inviting to others. They ruin gloves, impede the progress and dainti- ness of fancy work, and if they are constantly cold as well they may indi- cate a very bad circulation. To cor- rect all this an effort should be made The redness, which all ' e e e ——— | first to tone up the general health and overcome any disposition to nervous- ness over trifles. A mechanical meth. | od for reducing the flow of moisture is to rub the palms several times a day with a mixture made from 15 grams of. belladonna and 70 ‘grams of co- | logne. The hands should also be washed in warm water in which a lit- tle powdered alum has been dis | solved. WHAT HAPPENED TO JIMMIE? Readers May Have One Guess |If After Mr. Wimble Left, He Was Kissed Or— “Mr. Wimble, may I iook at your watch?” said little Jimmie. “Certainly, little man,” said Mr. W. indulgently, smiling at Jimmy's grown- up sister. “You mustn't worry Mr. Wimble, dear,” said Phyllls the elder in a sweet, maidenly voice. “And Jimmie, mother said you were to go to hed at eight o'clock. Come along now.” Jimmie settled his angel face into a grizzle, “Come, now, don't cry in front of Mr. Wimble,” said sister soothingly. | “Sha'n’t!” burst out the youngster. “Want to see old Wimble and you play cards.” “I'm shocked at you speaking of Mr. Wimble in that manner,” gravely broke in Phyllis. “And we're not go- ing to play cards.” “Oh, yes, you are,” bawled out Jim- mie, struggling from his sister’s grasp, “'cos 1 heard ma tell you everything depended on the way you played your cards tonight." Temperature Breaks Thermometer. A temperature which amazed the doctors and broke the thermometer is | recorded in the case of a girl patient 1 in one of the city hospitals of Kiev, Russia. She is suffering from typhus fever, and her case attracted special attention when a temperature of 113 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded, bursting the therometer. In the pres- ence of a number of professors and students her temperature was taken | with a special instrument, which showed 122 degrees, later rising to 181 degrees. The facts are vouched for by emi !nent professors. According to all | previous experience life at such a tem- s perature s unknown, even impossible Morning Frock. A good-looking frock for morning wear in town is made of white cotton crepe striped narrowly with brown. The skirt has a long tunic and the loose waist is cut in raglan style with deep collar and cuffs of white crepe | hemstitched in brown. A belt of pat- ent leather adds a smart finishing touch. For alternate wear with the leathcr belt there is a wide girdle and sash bow of brown mofre ribbon which fastens easily under the bow with snap ‘buttons. = The Best Straw Hats in the House Going at $1 00 ~ While they last L B B Re, e el o See our Swell Line of Ties and Shirts CUPOSOPOPPOFOPPO Let us Save you Money On Your Next Suit The Hu JOS.
