HE OMA HA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 9, What the Women Are Doing in Shop and Home Gorgeous “Coming Ont” Ba CCORDING to the rules of the League of Merry Paragraphers, all references to Philadelphia are set to slow music. Dignity, measured treads, somnolency, are presumed to size up the Quaker City in daylight and darkness. But it Is & mistake, a cruel aspersion on as lively a community as the snow falls on. Boclally they do things regardless of ex- pense, and then some, There was a_coming out ball down there, Thursday evening, December 2, which the local papers describe as a social peach. The debutante was Miss Eleanor Widener, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George P. Widener, one of the family of gas and traction magnates of Phlladelphla. It was given In the ballroom of the Bellevue- Stratford hotel and cost $60,000. Itemized the bill of the ball shows up In this way: Number of guests Supper S neyals Musfe ......... s American Beauty roses Other expenses Valuo of jewels displayed Tstimated value of gowns. In every phase of its complex loveliness reports the Philadelphia Press, ball was characterized by the most elaborate and costly perfection. The ball room was & bower flowering with e profusion of blooms. Added thousands of glorious buds dipped above every table at which the elaborate “souper’ was served, and the reception, dancing and dining rooma were ablaze with brilliant effects. Two Hun- arian orchestras, one from New York and the other from this city, furnished music continuously during the evening. Gleaming 1ights were given more daazling effect when reflected from- a profusion of the most #plendid jewels in the country. It ssemed that all the beauty and wealth and elegance of Philadelphia had been drawn to the place for that one glorious occaston. The function, costing a king's ransom, was glven for one girl, the petite Miss Widener, by her parents. She, with her mother, gowned In regal spiendor, held the center of attaction during the entire evenin The “souper,” served at the first inter- mission, was in itself an event of note. The menu was elaborate and was served in the most able style. Many of the viands were Imported especlally for this event of the socsl season. The floral decorations, costing alone $10,000, were of surpassing beauty. Two thousand flaming scarlet polnsettas lent color to the garnitures. Roses were almost countless. Of American Beauties there were over 4,000, of Red Richmonds 1,000 and an- other 1,000 Liberty roses were used. Fifty huge crates of southern smilax and much other greenery bedecked the walls and pillars of the great hall, The supper tables bore, in silver vases, great bunches of budding roses. In addi- tion masses of other flowers decked the dining rooms and turned them into green- eries, making the guests forget -for the time that outelde it was a cold winter's night. The huge hostelry was devoted ‘almost entirely to the function and an air of un- usual festivity pervaded even to the most remigte corner of the foyer and main floor. The entrance to the hotel on Chancellor street was a perfect bower of tralling vines and blossoms, and wreathed about the balustrades ac the side of the great marble staircase were hundreds of yards of asparagus fern, while festoons of the same feathery stuff curtained off tiny re- cesses in the main foyer under the stair- case. Great tree ferns and rubber trees stood sentinel about the hall, where the lights gleamed merrily on graceful women In_ gorgeous attire. But the beauty of the decorations in foyer and hall were but a prelude to the sight which met the eye on entewng the ballroom. Here the green and scarlet of the Christmas season were employed en- tirely for adornment. The stage was trans- formed for the occasion into a Roman gar- den. At the front slender marble pillars st00d at each side of a graceful gate twined with vines and scarlet poinsettas; at the back were trees of the tropics, ferns and other beautiful greenery, Marble columns appeared here and there among the branches, and at the front, in hu; clumps, were crimson azaleas and poin- settas. The outer part of the ballroom was turned Into a rose arbor. Trellises, over which ran tralling vines of laurel, sep- arated the part in which the dancing took place from the arbor, and overhead the arbor idea whs carrfed out by the use of hundreds of branches of laurel. From each side of the arbor, upon giit rods, hung conical-shaped golden baskets, filled with poinsettas and ferns, and making & most beautiful and unusual touch of color among the greenery. Four of the boxes were decorated with branches and vines and boxes filled. with poinsettas. Here for the greater part of the evening sat the older guests enjoying the beautiful scene before them. The' gowns were most exquisite. Rare Jewels glittered and shone upon' every woman present. Such a display of dismond necklaces and jeweled coronets rarely has been seen, even at the assemblies. The shimmer of satin, the cloudlike daintiness of cobwebby lace, the richness of velvet fabric and the glint of gold and silver embrolderles, together with the beauty and costly profusion of the floral decorations will make this ball one to be long remembered. i Woman Railroad Surgeon: The only woman rallroad surgeon in the world ‘is Dr, Sofie Herzog of Brazoria, Tex’ who has held the position of surgeon for the St. Louls, Brownsville & Mexican rallroad ever since that line was built, sev- eral years ago. At any time of day or night and by means of any sort of conveyance that 1s endowed with the impelling quality, she Is always ready for the quick and ef- fective perfomance of her work, and, as might be Inferred. Dr. Herzog has gone through some pretty trying experiences. As evidence of her skill, she has a necklace wkhich consists of twenty-three bullets, and which represents twenty-two separate and muccessful operations, and every one of the patients lives within forty miles of her office, And it is with no little pride that she displays this womanly trinket, which to her has its own intrinsic value. e To Get Rid of the Double Chin. Flabbiness about the cheeks observes the family doctor, is superfluous, expressionless animal fat, due to malnutrition, provoked by @ disorganized nervous system. The bands or ribbons of fat can be tightened up into muscele by local exercise, 1. e, bending the head in as many directions as the anatomy will allow. To arrest further deposit of this distiguring tissue the anti-fat treatment is prescribed, which excludes or reduces the supply of foods contalning sugar and starch, and includes systematic exercises, temperance in eating and drinking and absorbing ocoupation. As the nerve force is small, the system needs nerve foods In the shaps of light tonics and a dietary that yields sufficlent nourishness without overheating the blood or overtaxing the stomach. A cool, clean tmosphere, with abundant fresh air day and night, to cleanse and invigorats the lungs; water in quantity for internal and external use, to free the akin of its urk ties, are indispensible. Besides axer- cise, a Httle alum, aloohol or bensoline used in the water will tend to tighten the akin, and sea salt or Epsom salts will neutralize some of the oll below it. e Different Ideas of Beauty. In some parts of the Indles, relates the Boston | Herald, women paint their teeth red. In Gazural the blackest teeth are esteemed the most beautiful. In Greenland the women color their faces with blue and Jellow. The Chinese must have their feet as diminutive as those of she goats, and to render them thus their youth is passed in torture. In' ancient Persia an aquiline nose was often thought worthy of a crown, and If there were any competition between two princes the people generally went by this criterfon of majesty. In some countries'the mothers break the noses of thelr children and in others they press the head rbetwesn two boards that It may become square. The Indian beauty is thickly smeafted’ with bear's fat, and the female Hottentot recelves trom the hand of her lover, not silks and wreaths of flowers, but the warm entralls of animal newly slaln to dress herself with the en- viable ornaments. In China small eyes are liked and the girls are continually plucking their eye- brows that they may be small and long. The Turkish women dip a goid brush in the tincture of a black drug which they pass_over their eyebrows by ddy, but it looks shiningly by night, they tinge their nalls with a rose color, An ornament for the nose mppears to us to be perfectly un- necessary; the Peruvians, however, think otherwise, and they hang from It a heavy ring, the thickness of which is regulaied according to the rank of their husbands. The custom of boring the nose, 4s the English women do thelr ears, is very com- non in several nations; through the per- foration are hung varlous materials, such as green crystal, gold, stones, a single and sométimes a number of gold rings this is rather troublesome to them in blow- ing thelr noses. The female headdress is carried in some countries to singular extrayagance. The Chinese beauty carries on. her head the figure of a certain bird; this is.composed of copper or of gold, according to the rank of the person; the wings spread out and fall over the front of the headdress and conceal the temples; the tail, ylfllll and open, forms a beautiful tuft of feathers; the beak covers the top of the nose; the neck is fastened ‘to the body of the artifical animal by a spring, that is may the more freely play and tremble at the slightest motion. Lol Individunlity of Business Girls. Last winter a bright, wide-awake girl tock a clerical position with a ffrm famous for its petty treatment of employes, relates Anna S. Richardson in Woman's Home Companion. She was set to work in a small, untidy room, lined with desks and tables. At each desk was a girl, dissatis- L — Sweaters HAT women did before some public benefactor invented the sweater it would be hard to say. Probably there were comforta- ble ways of making oneself warm for wintry days out of doors and there wasn't the prejudice against heavy underflannels that there 15 In this day of everheated houses, but the fact remains that women would mightily miss the sweater now if some calamity should wipe it out of existence. Of courée it was the man who first evolved the idea of the comfortable gar- ment, and the first women who saw great light In connection with the sweater wore models like those of the men. Even now some very .sporty and youthful athletic girls insist upon wearing regulation boys' sweaters, siipping on over the head, shape- less and rolled up at the bottom; but the averoge woman demands something more trig and becoming, and in response to her demand women's sweaters have gradually gatned In attractiveness untll now they are as pretty as they are comfortable. The hand made sweater comes high, but is of course the last word of sthartness. Now that the long coat sweater has come in with the motoring fad and is being adapted to many other uses, the cost of the hand made model soars still higher wnd $20 is no unusual price for such a mbdel, while occasionally the price runs mueh higher. . A ‘great variety is shown in the stitches used and little original touches in pockets, collar, cuffs and colorings give individ- uality to the garments. Moreover, the hand-made sweater may be ordered " in any color,desired, while the machine-made model Is shown in a limited range of color schemes. When thils is said, however, the whole case for the hand made sweater has been presented and many a woman who could perfectly well afford to wear the hand made article contents herself. with ma- chine made sweaters, preferring to have several at a time or frequent (resh ones rather than ope more costly and hand- ‘wome sweater. The manufacturers have lmproved greatly in their handling of the sweater problem, copying lines and stitches , of #00d hand made models so cleverly and porfectly that it Is difficult to discriminate ,between the two. As one girl recently |sata “Y neyer know whether a friend s wear- ing & hand. knitted or machine Luitted |sweater nowadays unless 1 can turn back the front and see whether it has the machine facing of silk or satin.” This is particularly true of the models in several new stitches which have been turned out by machine this year. One ©of these stitches is a rough, effective one, copled exactly from & hand kuitted de- sigh, but with the surface reversed. That ‘i what_is the outside of the hand stitch 1a the inner side of the machine stitch. The manufacturer makes this change advisedly, having. decided that the wrong side of the hand knitted model was more attracuve than the right side and the resuit jus- tities the theory, s will be seen amining the two sweaters side The all white sweater coutinues (first cholce, though it s not so practical for hard usage as darker garment. It is however, more becoming than the grays and blues and browns and reds, and while 1t solls easily some women seem to have luck in cleaning or washing it. It is & ticklish job, this cleansing of the solled white sweater. Send It (o the cleaner wnd it s likely to come home fluffy and white, but lamentably stretched. Try wash- 1ing it save in & most pophisticated way and Have Become Indispensable it either shrinks or stretches into shape- lessness. One woman whose sweater comes out from its laundering looking irreproach- able time after time washes it In a cheese- cloth bag. . That is, she puts the sweater In the bag, soaks it in warm water and castile soap, rubs it lightly, puts it through several waters of the same temperature, squeezes out all the water possible and hangs the bag up in the sun and wind, never touching the sweater directly. 1t 1s & long time dry- ing, of course, but, lying in the bag, it has no provocation 0 to stretch, and when it is about dry it may be taken out, laid flat on a bed or table, pulled into correct shape and left to finish drying. Another expert who has good success washes her sweater In castile soap and warm water and lays it on some flat sur- face out of doors in the sun and air, pull- ing it into & good shape while it is still wopping wet and a little later tucking something inte sleeves and bust te round them out and give added shapeliness. While & cleansifig fluld is used Instead of soap and water this latter process should be followed, the garment being laid flat so there will be no”strain on It, and pulled out into good lines. i Touches of color are very efefctive on some of the white sweaters and a collar and cuffs of darker tone will often make & white sweater look fresh much longer than it would it &l white. This practical consideration is oftén disregarded and the WEAR. HAND KNIT SWEATERS FOR WINTER color Introduced merely in a narrow band bordering collar, cuffs, pockets and per- haps fronts, the white being left next fate and hands and bearing the brunt of soll. Very pretty medels are shown with fine lines of color knitted in at two-inch in- tervals all over the sweater surface, th erticall peated on cuffs and pockets. Leather brown and & soft khaki brown are popular in the realm of sweaters, being usually ocom- bined with white, after the fashions or Just described, used for the bod. of the sweater and | relieved by whit collar and cuffs, The collarless neck sweater tains its though during th winter season col- lars that may b turned up and fasi- ened closely aroun the throat are firsi choice, ana tor toring a collar i a feature alway advisable. The Russian idea has the province of the sweater and there ary various pretty models with close high col lar and openipg down the left front. These usually opening, but this is not obligatory. A good model sketched here is en the Russian lines and is fitted In at the walst by knitted ribbing. One notices o tendency toward fitted of this kind, though the note is as yet bat lightly sounded. One of the smart- est of the new sweaters this season has & fitted back and semi-loose front, odd pointed pockets, whose upper line begins Just sk the waist line, being used to give something resembling a girdle effect. The sweater ending at the walst line, though & handy little garment, obviating bulkiness around the hips, is hard to find lines running The color of the stripes is re- collar, ¥ re- | vogue, | mo- invaded have a contrasting color in the collar and bordering the line of | fled and churlish, her individuality fading, her ambitfon rising no higher than to entor that room each morning just on the stroke of 8, not & minute earlier, and to be the first ‘out’of it when the olock struck 6. Most of these girls had lost Interest in ir office attire, saving every penny pos- le for Sunday or party frocks. All of them were hoping to secure positions with other concerns. Into this maslstrom of offios anarchy stepped the girl whose Individuality and self-respect still lived, She came to work in & new tailored silk waist with immaou- Iate lawn turnover collar and cuffs. The other /girls sniffed and warned her that the blouse would be ruined. The office was filthy. “We have an office fporter and two boys, she replied. < ““There is no reason why we can’t have this place cleaned up.” And, somehow it was done. A whole lot of trash had been thrown out, and the first layer of dirt had been removed from the floor, & ray of hope seemed to illumi. nate the staft of girls. The newcomer brought down her own desk fittings, simple and inexpensive, but with & note of ndividuality—a letter opener and a box for clips In brass, a burnt leather blotting pad and some personal sta- tionery in case she wanted .to write a little note during the noon. hour. The office manager ‘sarcastically advised her to lock them up ;every night, and.the girls ex- changed significant glances; but nothing was ever taken from that desk. 'Finally, one of the girls timidly suggested that the newcomer might broach the question of their wretched wash room facilities. to the manager—and she did it. In less than a year the atmosphere of that entire office has been changed, cleared, uplifted, by one girl. She did not preach. She did not demand. She did not stir up trouble. She simply lived her own 1ite despite poor conditions, 'and made others first envy, then emulate her. it Lomely and Isolated Girl. “The girl who thinks constantly about self 1s a good deal like the girl who is constantly glanclug at herself mirror,” says Anne B. McCall in Woman's Home Companion, “Have you ever noticed how by and by people turn away from such a girl to soms one whose eye can meet theirs self-forgetfully, some one whose attention they can keep? So the girl is finally left alone with herself and the mirror. In the same way the girl who falls into the habit of thinking of self is gradually left more and more alone, her life becomes gradually more and more iso- lated. Do you girls know what the word isolated really means? The word ‘isola’ is' the Itallan for island. Isolated means to be like an lsland—cut off, that 1s, from' the mainland. The life of the girl who talks and thinks about self is gradually more and more aut off from all the great wonderful mainland of human sympathy and interests. She is cut off from helping others as others are cut off from helping ber. The world of joy and sorrow and Interest and love goes on with- out her, Who are the most delightful and sym- pathetic people you know? The ones, I will warrant, whose lives are a part of the mainland of human life who, when they meeet you, are not so eager to tell you of their health and thelr affairs as they are eager to know about yours. And the most entertaining and charming con- versationalists? They are those who tell you about other people, not those who tell you about themselves; they are those who interest you in things outside themselves and yourself. And the most beautiful lives? The rule applies here, too. They are those which have forgotten themselves in love for others.” piE S Leaves From Fashion's Notebook. All the shades of brown are having a renaissance. Smart turbans are made of seal and lynx in combination. The present winter is essentially & sea- son of briliant furs. Rare old cashmere shawls are again in , favor for evening wraps. The separate walst is more in favor than for several seasons past. With the re-entry of long sleeves brace- lets jare being worn outside. Dangling jet tassels are used as a finish to some of the dressy shoes. Elaborate bralding eppears on some of the coats of the dressy tallored suits.
