LELLLLLLEEELS ATTED, shod and suited cor- rectly for the winter, women may now interest them- selves in the accessories that hke or mar a costume. he Vogue of worsted embroidery on ts has reached the realms of mi- iy's blouse, and some of the smart- of the crepe, crepe de chine and ffon blouses are trimmed down the mt with heavy floral designs worked th ordinary worsted in pale tints @ effect of this wool embroidery ginst the delicate material is very ely, while the blouses that are mmed with embroidery done with a needle and Angora wool are lly things of beauty and, what is e, offer an excellent suggestion for girl who makes her own clothes.

EELELE DO R ered shoulder line are the right thing for many of the new blouses, while | prevailed some of the great dressmakers are ig- noring sleeves altogether in evening dress. Pale gray silk stockings seem to be the fashionahde choice now and are re- placing the buff colored hosiery which last summer. One sees the dainty gray stockings above patent leather pumps and above new button- ed winter footwear, for skirts are so short these days that an inch or two of stocking above the buttoned boot The leg of mutton sleeves with the low- | are not at all a startling vision. Skirts | denly this discreet length does not al- usually cover the boot top, it is true, | ways prevail. but in sitting, dancing or turning sud-' Gauntlet glaves are the latest craze. These gloves are made of white chamois leather and also in all the tan ;are deep and supple; they are drawn up over the coat or drese sleeves, and they give a sporting, attractive appear- ance to the whole turnout. With the season at its height negli~ gees are an important part of milady's belongings, one easy to slip on for the forty winks between an afternoon res ception and an evening at the opera.’ The cut fillustrates one of wistaria daphine silk, much plaited. Shadow lace makes a pretty bolero and short sleeves, and an empire effect is gained by a puffed girdle. The boudoir cap that goes with this negliges, which may be made in challis instead of silk, is a veritable skullcap of lace ande ribbon. Next after the evening gown and the colffure surely come the jewel ornas ments. One beautiful coiffure is bul fairly high on the head, but given thé modish flat effect over the forehead by a rich fillet and ornament, the fillet of pearls and the ornament of pearls and diamonds. With this is worn a delicate pearl necklace wth a small pendant of seed pearls, and in the hair is a dainty ornament of pearls and dlamonds. A useful lace, with tiny beadings at both edges, makes pretty scarfs to throw over the shoulders, the lace cut long enough to go around the neck and descend just below the walst, the edges top and bottom bordered with narrow lace. It also makes charming boudoir caps, strips of twenty inch long with the ribbon run through and sewed together; then these same ribs bons are drawn in, a wider frill of lace forming an edging and maybe a dain« ty bow in front. The demand in veilings at present is exceedingly broad, including scroll ef- fects in hand run design arranged both in border and in all over patterns; soft, silky square veils, plain and with woven figured effects or corner mo-« .. tifs, and the clever chiffon and mesh combinations. Black effects predominate, but mid- night blue, African brown, purple and taupe are taken in the order enumers ated. Flesh pink lingerie is more fashion« able than chalk white. Girls who like to occupy their fingers with “useful” fancy work are making envelops chemises, petticoats and nightgowns of flesh toned finest batiste and decorat- ing them with sharp, long vandykes, outlined by a double jour stitching in - shades. The gauntlets of these gloves white thread. THREE NEW Y NO. 1. Oyster Bouillon. Roast Turkey, Cranberry Sauce. et Potato Croquettes. Creamed Onions. Celery Salad. Grape Whip. Coffee. NO. 2.

MARCELLA SEMBRICH s trying to figure out how she can square herself with a young contribu- tor to the recent Polish day fund. The amount involved is part of a nineteen cent gift, graciously bestowed by three children. About 3 o'clock one day a canvasser climbed the steps leading to a fine old mansion. The butler opened the door to admit her just as the children were going for their afternoon outing. Mrs. Harrison was not at home. The | canvasser handed the butler an official looking card, asking that it be given to her later. Phil, the older boy, took the card and read: “Will you not help the women and children of. Poland? g “Five cents will be as gratefully re- ceived as $1.” “Why, I've got 5 cents,” he sald im- pulsively, delving down into his pocket. “Wait and TI'll get my bank!™ cried Jimmy, the younger boy. He quickly produced it and pounded out two coins. “Me, too,” sald little Betty, white capped and coated and shod.

There she sal expectantly until dusk, when she saw her mother coming down the street. She ran to meet her as the boys scur- ried across from the park. | The great event of the afternoon was related. Mother knew all about | what it was for and had stopped In uptown and given her own money, and she said she was proud of her boys. “Well, I thought we could afford te give 5 cents tb anything,” sald Phil rather arrogantly. “I gave two nickels,” broke in Jim- my. “And the card sald 5§ cents made her as glad as a dollar, so I made her as glad as $2. And Betty gave her some too.” “Bless your heart, Betty,” sald Mrs, Harrison, catching the little hand in an extra love squeeze, “and what did you give?” “All my shiny pennies—one, two, free, four—and I waited on the steps most free hours, and, muvver’'—the voice was very aggrieved, “the gurdy had caught her eye.
