( Fads and Fa—s-h_z'ons l SRR A | Straight skirts that are too narrow can be widened by inserted pleatings. Skirts are pleated and set upon yokes to maintain the slender silhou- ette, Small collars one and two inches wide are made to encircle the neck- band as they did in 1830. Soft dull shades will be used and the beauty of the costume will be cen- tered in the rich trimming. ‘The velvet basque is a pretty new jdea. It is unbound and sometimes ‘worn on an uncorseted flgure. Panne crepe is a lovely new ma- terial used for the fashioning of this | season’s elegant evening gowns. Costumes for street wear are made with skirts much shorter than were worn during’the past season. d Bedford cords, panne plush, fur cloth, broadcloth and serges will be used for the street suits this fall. There is a great demand for plain straight skirts on account of the long coat. Other straight skirts are pleated. Very chic with the tailored rig is the embroidered waistcoat of white pique, Very lovely is a blouse white voile, with a broad pale pink voile embroidered white. made of collar of with Navy blue and brown and green are in the greatest favor for autumn. Among light colors sand and putty are chosen. ¢ The apron-string sash is a pretty new idea. The strings are fastened at the side seam and are tled in a loose knot at the back. A string of silver beads now adorns the lady of fashion. The beads’ are strung on silver chains of fine woven wire and are about the size of a French pea. Many afternoon gowns will be trimmed with a Russian tunic of lace, which will hang from bust to ankles. This lace will not be plain, but will be worked over with gold or silver bullion.

Paneling a Favorite Method for «, . .. Proper Over-Mantel Decoration Simple Bas-Relief in Plaster or Reproductions of Noted Paintings Suitably Framed Are Also Recommended —Mounted Photographs Have Good Effect. In arranging the furnishings and adornments of a home housekeep- ers are often puzzled.as to the best method of treating the space over the mantel. The rules and traditions of archi- tecture and decoration teach that every room should possess some cen- ter or focus of decorative interest, and that the supplying of such a center Is one of the functions of the mantel and chimney piece. In the Middle Ages the chimney was usually of massive proportions; it was the most impor- tant object in the room, and decora- tion was lavished upon an architec- tural detail of such prime value, This tradition has preserved to perplex-— though sometimed to ald—the modern home furnisher., Architect Sometimes Solves Problem. In many instances the over-mantel problem has already been solved by the architect who planned the house, by paneling the space over the mantel or by building in some arrangement of mirrors, or, possibly, of a mirror set within some combination of cabinets or shelves upon which it ig Intendea that small objects of adornment be placed. Paneling, simple and beautiful, will remain in favor forever, for its use is based upon the fundamental canons of good taste in decoration; mirrors, too, when rightly and properly used, are often admirable, but any combina- tion of mirrors with shelves or cabl- nets may well be viewed with some =———=THE POPULAR are now Surety Bonds Avoid trouble by have your insur- ance written by a man who knows how.

We Give S. & H, Green Stamps, suspicion unless designed by a skilled decorator, Sets Tone For Entire Room. The correct and tasteful treatment of the over-mantel will set or estab- lish the tone of the entire room. Hera there may often be placed the most important picture, for this place, in addition to being of the greatest de- corative importance, is also the place of particular dignity and honor. When the chief object of wall decoration is something other than a picture— a tapestry or some form of metal work —it may often be hung above the mantel if the decorative ‘“‘unities’” of form, size, balance and color agree. Full advantage is very rarely taken of the possibilities for over-mantel decoration held forth by plaster casts. There is nothing in the whole realm of decoration which gives results or effects so beautiful and distinctive at a cost which may be quite modest as a well chosen bas-relief in plaster, tastefully toned down by being stained or colored, Master sculptors for many centuries have worked in relief, and while their marbles are the treasures of the world's greatest museums and beyond price, reproductions which may possess every detail of decorative value are well within the reach of any one, Plaster Casts a Good Decoration. One {llustration shows an ad- mirable over-mante] decoration which has been achlieved by the clever use of materials which are quite simple and inexpensive. The mantel stands in the study of an old house near ‘Washington Square, in New York, and is of the very simple and direct cLar- acter of all interlor woodwork made about 1840, The mantel itseil is of a deep cream color, and the study is hung with a paper in two shades of golden brown. A cast in rich ivory tones of one of Donatello’s Madonnas would have been highly decorative placed against this beautiful, though simple, back- ground, but to heighten even a beauti- ful effect use has been made of a very inexpensive square of printed cotton, which shows a border of Byzantine pattern in old blue, dull yellow and varfous wood colors. Many small ob- Jects of decoration would be both triv- ial and useless amid so strong and formal a setting. Two antique altar candle-sticks furnish the sole decora- tion without their use in any way sug- gesting an ‘“‘ecclesiastical” effect. Reproductions of Statues Dignified. But the successful use of plaster casts as decorations for the over-man- tel is not confined to bas-reliefs. Re- productions of statues when colored (o resemble ivory, bronze or copper and placed alone upon a mantel shelf are often very beautiful and dignified.

The best in the hanging® of ts family in rooms which are devoted to famlily use, rather than in rooms or in halls which are for the general use of one’s friends or circle of acquain- tances such as the drawing room, the library or the living room; for use in such rooms there are other portraits far more suitable which are available. ‘The processes of modern reproduc- tion of pictures render possible a choice from many portraits in black and white, and also in color. Photo- graphs of life size may be had of paintings of the great masters of portraiture—Rubens, Franz Hals, Van Dyck and many others—and such photographs may be had in sepia, gray or in many tones of brown. Mounting a Photograph. Reproductions in the full colors of the originals may also be had, and a very beautiful and distinctive effect may be had by mounting such por- traits upon thin, smooth wood or upon heavy cardboard entirely without “grain,” and then treating the por- traits to several coats of water var- nish, which possesses no gloss. This will give the portraits much of the ef- fect of old paintings, and they may be placed, without glass, in very rich vet simple frames, It would be difficult to imagine anything more suitable for an over- mantel decoration in a living room or a library than a reproduction in full color of Holbeln's portarit of Henry Tudor, the original of which is at Hampton Court. The picture might be treated in the manner which has just been described, and framed with a wide but somewhat simple moulding of ebony or golden oak In dead or lustreless finish. If the decorations be for the over- mantel of & music room, one may se- lect a brown photograph of Mozart, Beethoven or Wagner and use a frame of Ivory or dull gold. In almost any place a portrait of Charles 1 by Van Dyck would be beautiful treated or framed In any manner which would be in keeping with the surroundings. | ¥rame Harmonizes With Mantel Wood In the cholce of frames for pictures to be placed over mantels a safe rule to follow is to have the frames agree in color and finish with the wood or other material of which the mantel Itself is built. One of the chief purposes of a plcture frame is | to bring the picture into close har- mony with its surroundings, and this can be most effectually done by using a frame of the oak, ebony or mahogany or of the painted wood of the mantel. Many small ornaments upon a man- tel shelf, while sometimes per- missible, usually detract from its Aignity and create a crowded appear- ance. Very few objects, well se- lected, will usually be far better. Over the mantel there may occasion- ally be placell twe, or even several, pictures, provided they be of the same size and shape, and framed 8367 Raglan Blouse, 34 to 44 bust.
