TOILETTES WITH EI.EGAXT ACCESSORIES.
BT MARY DEAN.
STREET styles for young girls seem
very closely related to the costumes
trottolr their mammas are wearing;
The box or side pleated, or smartly gored
skirts are a shade shorter, the Eton or
bolero Jackets " or cape bodice effect a
shade less trimmed. But fundamentally
the trig little frocks are the same the
identical odd mushroom walking hats
often accompanying them. But it is the
mamma who copies her daughter, of
course, for to be genuinely the thing the
best gowns must effect this simple youth
fulness. With hats it is different, and with these
girls from 18 up are only too often preco
cious, for burdensome trimmings and co
quettish woman-shapes are her privilege.
Mothers who have any say In the matter,
and know the fitness of things, wisely
taboo these sophisticated headpieces, for
certainly ostrich feathers, massed bows
and full blown roses do not add to the
fresh charm of sweet 16.
When It comes to party frocks or those
for specially dressy functions, young,
girl's styles are perfect, for then, childish
frillB, sweetly simple little bertha- effects
and sashes have full play.
To get up a proper girl wardrobe at
any time of the year Is a far easier mat
ter than formerly. All of the big shops
cater to maiden ages, and since a mea
sure of restraint must always be shown,
It comes febout often that misses' styles
are more- generally desirable than any
others. Just' at this moment' toilettes
for school ages are much to the fore,
hats, coats and costumes for practical
purposes naturally outnumbering dress
ier things. The little coat gowns of
cloth, serge, voile, flannel and other suit
able materials are very smart, many
shades, of brown, running from dead
leaf to a " bright rosewood, being seen.
R;d", too. In rich, dull tones, is much ex
ploited, and unnumbered effects are dis
played In shadow checks and plaids.
A smart combination' with black and
whit check, or stripe,-is the use of gay
plaid silks, which, are used at the front
of the coats and bottoms of three-quarter
sleeves in flowing ties and undero
eleeve effects. The skirt, whatever Its
model, displays none of this, for It la
only the Jacket which Is glct-lfled. Serge
Is a specially smart street material, and
there are two distinct sorts, one In a
herringbone of glossy fineness, the other
so coarse as to raise large ridges. Sou
tache braids are thought smart embel
lishments for these stuffs, and the cos
tume Is invariably In trim coat style,
though a dainty vest and ornamental col
lars and cuffs may give it a very smart
air. The most desirable of the little
gown coats hang loosely no farther than
the waist, and the French pony styles,
showing many odd departures from usual
lines. These may be slashed at the bot
tom and hung underneath with quillings
of silk and velvet, and sometimes there
is a hood effect at the back, ornamented
with a long tassel. Sleeves of these are
in scant three-quarter glgots, or else in
full puffs of the same length, the cuff
trimming matching that used about the
neck. One very .smart neck finish for
a coat of this description was a shawl
collar, which, folding far over at the left
bust, rose high at the neck in cosy winter
way: Blue velvet formed this a faded
shade somewhat on the tone of Saxe the
gown material being a fancy wool In black
and white checks. Other coats are col
larless or with revers so made as to be
there only for ornament, braids, embroid
eries and what not outlining the round or
slightly squared necks. Many close fit
ting Etons with wrist length sleeves are
seen, and these upon the right figure are
quite smart, besides presenting the ad
vantage of being more facile to acquire.
For. despite the immense desirability of
the loose Jackets over all others, . such
styles are only presented as copies of
high-priced Imported models, and. besides
being rarer, they are more expensive than "I
the close cuts.
Plain cloth, with a high satiny finish,
Is much employed for the dressier- cos
tumes, and with this narrow stitched
bands combined with rows of little orna
mental buttons are frequent deckings.
The veilings and silk gowns for smartest
wear (for silk is worn by all ages)
show unnumbered daintinesses; small
collars and cuffs of beautiful. lacex show-.
1ng often upon pony or blouse coats,
which cuts, being more elegant than the
plainer Etons, are more often employed
for smart toggery. Under the coats are
worn lingerie bodices of Ideal fineness,
jmarl street omris-
ior young guns
and delicacy of treatment: hand-embroidery
or limited quantities ot fine
Valenciennes trimming these. Some
times the blouse la of silk, though, in
white or the color of the gown, orlse
in little checks or broad plaids which may
harmonize with the- gown color.
A modish finish for the neck of these is
a high turnover linen collar worn with a
narrow string tie though the same -high
collar effects are -often made of white
satin, stiff with hand-embroidery.-
Colored plaid shirt waists, with circu
lar skirts In black Panama, compose a
neat classroom get up, much affected
by tasteful schoolgirls. Again th$ shirt
waist will be in plain taffetas black or
color and the skirt of plaid or checked
wool, with narrow baby velvet smartly
trimming the two. Velvet ribbon in
bright plaid is a very smart school girl
trimming and when properly applied to
a shirtwaist in black taffetas the result
is as dashing as durable.
Odd coats for young girls have the
looseness now approved, ' the models
hanging from smart long shoulder yokes,
or In box or side pleats from the neck
Itself. Very wisely the sleeves of these
are wrist length, and the coat may fall
anywhere from the hips to the skirt bot
tom. Tan, brown, gray, . green and red
cloths are the materials of these, with a
touch of velvet or braid for the neck and
sleeve finish.
Storm coats are numerous, and some
In bold plaid wools with odd brass but
tons have a dashing traveling air. These
are loose or half-fitting, the skirts of
some of the more shapeless ones going
out at the bottom with an immense flare.
Beautiful coats and cape cloaks for even
ing wear are in white, pale blue and rose
colored cloth, charming gowns, cut out
slightly at the neck of soft pale ellk going
with these, as well as fluffy feather sets
and big hats with fly-away ribbon bows,
or else with ostrich feathers immensely
long and rich. Apropos of feathers, the
downy marabout is Immensely in favor.
The oddest combinations are made with
the .muffs and tippets, plumage in one
color showing tinted tips in another, and
tufts lightening the ends of hat quills or
else manipulated in some way to form
an upstanding aigrette. A pretty girl
with a white marabout set, and an even
ing coat trimmed with it, is like a big
bird and the eye unaccustomed to such
elegancies stares with some of the won
der one showers on the rare feathered
creature.
In departments purely millinery, quills
have dashing place. and some are so
long, so wide that they slant In hats like
swords. For ordinary use sailor hats with
these deckings put on at the side with
huge ribbon or velvet bows are much seen.
Girls with Jauntier tastes affect slde
tllted shapes trimmed with wings, which,
like the quills reproduce effects never seen
in Nature. A flat brim hat of woolly felt,
garnished solely with wide ribbon or vel
vet in elaborate child way is a. very
usual headpiece for the younger ages. As
to the sailor hats, they have grown In
size, which Is a happy change, for the
little bob-tailed English sorts were by no
means always becoming. Especially upon
young girls did they seem foolish, for the
masses of undertrimming required more
of a coiffure than is permitted the
maiden head. '
Descriptions of cuts are as follows:
A street gown for a girl from 16 to 18
is of deep green cloth with a white vest
and green and black braid on the Jacket.
This Is one of the oddest and prettiest of
the season's Etons, a cross trimming at
the bottom of the shoulder pleats giving
some of the full short-walsted look now
desired. The skirt, which has a princess
cut at the top, Is fastened with black but
tons down the left side. A deep tuck In
the flaring bottom for the top is cut to fit
the hips closely simulates an overskirt.
A high linen collar is worn with as black
satin bow cravat.
Another Eton dress for the same age
is of blue diagonal wool, with the stuff
cut bias and employed upon the loose
fronted Jacket as stoles. Tiny pointed
revers of white cloth set at the bust
and held by blue and black buttons are
smart features, to which a square lace
collar gives an elegant touch. A wide
girdle of soft black liberty is the line of
union with the plain skirt.
Pale " sweetgum colored cloth, with
narrow soutache and tiny silk covered
buttons In the same shade are the ma
terials of a smart afternoon frock.
This Is made with a belted blouse
Jacket, fitted ' at the shoulders with
Gibson pleats; the braid and buttons,
which are put on the full skirt in a
big uneven block effect,, trims it
sparsely. . A narrow belt of ribbon
belting in the same pale brown, fas
tened with an ornamental buckle, gir
dles the waist.
The fourth gown ' in this picture,
which is the larger one of the two,
shows one of the phases of the French
pony coat. Dull red cloth Is the mate
rial of this, a scarf of soft black silk,
falling at the front with a bow and
tasseled ends threading through the
slashed bottom of the coat In a novel
way. The shoulder cut of the coat
gives the long effect, which Is again
approved, and the small collar is
topped by pointed skirt of white satin
held with black buttons. The pleated
skirt Is fitted closely at the blps, with
the flare approved beginning above
the knees.' All the sleeves In these
cuts are described elsewhere, with
trimmings to accord in each individual
case.
In the smaller picture the daintiness
of batiste and white silk are exploited
in elegant bodice trimmings. A gown
of pale gray voile shows the silk,
which Is tucked and puffed for the
bodice yoke and undersleeves. The
bodice, which Is gathered full, has the
effect of a low neck, stitched band of
the voile and small gray silk buttons
outlining It. The cap sleeves are made
to cross at the outer arm, and are
elaborate with tucks, stitched bands
and buttons, falling short over the
puffed and tucked silk undersleeves.
A modicum of lace la used on the
stock, at the front of which is a lad
der of little bows in narrow green
velvet. Bias green velvet girdles the
waist, and above a plain hem effect
the skirt Is trimmed with a tupked
puff, edged with stitched bands .of the
gown material. ' '.
The second dress of this picture has
one of the new quaint cape effects on
the bodice. A novelty wool, in a dim
green with a silk thread. Is the ma
terial of this, with very dark green
velvet ribbon and French mercerized
lace for trimmings. On the waist of
the costume this forms a yoke Inside
the cape oneof the cloth, the velvet
outlining- this, and trimming the belt
and sleeves. A dainty detail is a
front frill gathered at the -center of
the lace, running down from the neck
to the belt. The three-quarter puff
sleeves have turn-back cuffs edged
with the velvet.
The hats shown with all ' these
drawings are the sophisticated sorts
allowed young' girls this season. The
most sensible of the -collection is the
sailor shape, which Is heavily trimmed
at tho back with wide ribbon. -
Making Candy for Winter Evenings
A PLATE of home-made candy on
the reading-table when the family
is assembled after dinner on cool even
ings adds a touch of homeliness and
shows that some one In the circle has
taken genuine personal Interest In the
pleasure of her children, or brothers and
sisters. An hour, maybe less, given to
the little task of making it will be repaid
by the pleasure of seeing family and
friends enjoy It. . v "
Many cooks make the mistake of using
the common granulated sugar when mak
lng any sort of candy. Here is a recipe
for nut-fudge which, when sea sugar Is
used. Is really a delicious confection:
Not Fudge. Three cupsful of sea sugar
and a -cup and a half either of water or
milk. Boil very slowly until perfect drops
form when a- little Is dropped Into cold
water. Remove from fire and add a large
tablespoonful of butter and some flavor
ing If preferred, though the delicate flavor
of the sugar is delicious when combined
with the nuts. Beat until, very thick and
add a cupful of your favorite nuts broken
Into small bits. Turn Into well-buttered
plate and mark in squares while still
warm. It will break evenly when cool.
The famous Everton taffy of Scotland
Is made very simply, and is one of the
most wholesome of sweets for children.
Take one pound of whiie sugar, a quarter
of a pound of butter and about a half a
cup of water. Boil in a heavy pan on a
very slow fire and stir onlv when neces
sary to prevent sticking to the pan. Test
in cold water, and when drops become
hard it Is ready to be poured Into a well
buttered tin. Do not use a plate.
Cocoamrt Carmels. For these grind
in your meat grinder a package, of cocoa
nut very fine. Put a pound of granu
lated sugar and a half a cup of water
into a saucepan and stir until the sugar
1b dissolved. Wipe down the sides of the
saucepan and boil until It spins a thread.
Lift a little with a spoon and drop-It Into
Ice water. If you can roll U into a little
bnll in your fingers it Is sufficiently
boiled. Take it carefully from the fire
and allow it to stand a little while, then
add a teaspoonful of vanilla and- the
chopped cocoanut. Turn it into a square
butted pan and pat it out into the thick
ness of an inch. While It Is still warm
mark It into squares. When cold, break ,
It Roll each bit in waxed paper for fa
cilitating' its eating in the drawing-room.
Walnut Layer. This is a delicious taffy.
Take one and osre-half pints of walnut
kernels and pound them very fine, one
and a half pounds of brown sugar mixed
with three-fourths of a cup of vinegar,
and one-half a teaspoonful of gelatine
dissolved in a little hot water. Place over
a slow fire and cook until still. Pour
half of the candy Into a buttered tin, then
spread the chopped walnuts over the ton
evenly and add the remaining half of the
candy to the layers. Mark into, squares
and break when cool.
Candied nuts or fruit are very popular
and very easily made. Put a pound of
loaf sugar Into a cup and a half of water
and boll quickly. . Take tVe shelled nuts
or prepared fruit on the end of a meat
skewer and dip them Into the syrup and
place on buttered plate. If cherries or
any stony fruit are used, they are much
nicer If the stones are removed.
Peanut Bar. Two pounds of white
sugar and a large pinch (7f cream of tar
tar dissolved in two gills of cold water.
Cook over moderate fire until brittle, stir
ring In about a half an ounce of butter.
If the Inner skin of the peanuts . is re
moved as well, as the shell, they are
much more palatable. Put a thick layer
Into a well-buttered tin and pour the
candy over, then leave .to cool. Cut the
bars about two inches long to half an
inch wide.
Almost every one is fond of a plain
cream candy. Here is a verjr easy
and popular recipe: Two pounds of
lump sugar, one teaculful of water,
one tablespoonful of butter, two table
spoonfuls of vinegar. Boll for 20 minutes.-
Just before taking- from the fire
add a little flavoring, either- vanilla
or lemon. Pour into a dish and stir
until cold, when It is ready to eat.
Chocolate Bonbons Put a half
pound of chocolate into a sugar boiler
and leave until soft. Mix with this an
ounce of gum arable dissolved In a
tablespoonful and a half of hot water.
Stir this until -it Is very smooth and
then add in two ounces -of - fine Icing
sugar, mix well and drop the choco
late from the spout of the sugar boiler
and cut oft with wire to a, desirable
size. When the candy is dry it is
ready to eat. ...
Almond tablets are an' English sweet
end very tasty and will keep fresh
6for a long time If packed In tins. Put
Into the sugar boiler seven pounds of
sugar with one Quart of water and,
I boll until it would crack if dropped
into cold water. Turn it on a buttered
board and work in four pounds of al
monds. Then roll it up and put it aside
to. cool and cut into slices.
Sour Drops Three pounds of loaf
sugar, one teaspoonful of cream of
tartar, three cupfuls of water. . Put
these Into a sugar boiler and boll un
til hard if dropped In water. Aftei
taking- from the fire stir in a few
drops of essence of lemon, pour the
mixture onto a buttered board, sprin
kle over and then mix in one table
spoonful of tartaric acid, powdered.
Put It on an oiled tin and keep warm.
A little at a time take it and make
into a thin roll and cut into small
bits; then roll them in the palm of
the hand and sprinkla with powdered
sugar.
Fruit drops are also a good confec
tionery to keep packed away until
wanted. Press a pound or so of rasp
berries, strawberries or some fresh
fruit through a fine hair sieve, then
mix in some sugar; put this into a
pan with a spout or lip to it and stir
it over the fire- until boiling; make
drops by letting the paste fall slowly
from the pan; be careful not to crowd
the drops. When ' cold, put the drops
on a bleve and allow to dry.
If you exercise care you can make
a very palatable taffy from plain white
sugar. Put about three cupfuls of
sugar in a heavy pan and watch it
carefully over a slow fire until it is
a syrup;-then add a. tablespoonful of
butter, which gives a. delicate flavor.
Stir the candy as little as possible
but- do not Iet.it scorch. .Cook until
brittle when dropped into a glass of
water. This If boiled the proper
length - of ' time will be Just a little
harder than caramels when cool.
Candled popcorn is wholesome for
children and very easily prepared. Put
a quantity of granulated sugar in a
large-sized kettle Just moistened with
water and add a large tablespoonful
of butter. Cook until crisp in water
if dropped in; remove from fire for the
moment as you- pour in as much
popped corn as you think your amount
of sugar will take. Put back on the
very slow Are and stir briskly until
sugar is all taken up and dried and
each particle of corn Is again separ
ate. Sugared popcorn should not be
sticky when made properly.
To sugar flowers, boil white sugar
until fine threads will form If a little
is raised on the end of a fork; put in
the flowers and put the mixture Into
tiny oiled dishes to cool. Turn out and
serve.
The Last Warrior.
Beside a river of the West,
8hut In. by snowy mountain's crest.
An aged Indian warrior stood
Last of & vanished brotherhood
And gazed with radiant eyes aglow
Acroea the distant spires of anow.
And dreamed of nght in dusky glade.
Where .last stand 'gainst .fate wur made.
And brooded o'er tha , wrongs hla .race
Had suffered from the smooth paleface.
Within his velna the blood of bate
Ran swifter than tha tides of fate,
And his forbears in days of yore
In alnsle-handed combat tore
Tba reeking; scalp from paleface head
And flaunted - It above the dead.
Once all the land he gazed upon:
The mountains where the deer anon
Grew fat and sleek, were all his own,
Where care and want were never known;
Where pappoose laugh, when twilight fell,
Waa beard from every bosky' dell,
And campflrei. In whose radiant slow.
Grew pictures of the ions aro,
When life was fair and earth was young
And sword of Damocles ne'er hung
By tenuous hair o'er Indian's head,
A specter of the night to dread.
While gazing o'er the landscape wide -
A thousand warriors seemed to slide
Across his view, and tepees stood.:
Homes of that savage brotherhood.
A smile lit up his ruK-ged face: -
In fancy he could see his race
Sweep from their land -each paleface foe.
And hear their piteous cries of woe.
But, casting; down his eyes' again,
He heard the bitter cry of pain.
And knew that. all hls'hopes and'fears
Had vanished with the passing- years. -
Troon the hilts where once the 'deer
Had gamboled in tha moonlight clear
The white man's schoolhouse boldly stood.
The white man's ax had swept the wood
From off the land; the white- man's plow "
Had pierced the soil; the white man's vow
Had been 'fulfilled and all his race
Had passed away, dissolved In soace.
Where once had burned the council Are
Uplifted now the tall church spire.
And where the dusky maidens Sana
The cow bells of the white man ran-f
Along- the Indian's lonely trail
Kan now the white man's steel and rail.
And where a thousand- tepees stood
Naught could' he see and call it good.
With aching- - heart he turned away.
Too sad of soul to try to.-ara---
To Sah-Ie -Tye of the plain. ' " -.
For to his clansmen ne'er again
Would come the happy days of yore
The Indian's race of -Ufa was o'er. '
Then on a last walling cry was heard
As comes from some low-nesting bird
When hawk sweeps down from heights serene
And clutches It with talons keen.
He turned hla copper-colored face.
Drew one long sigh, gave up the race.
And hastening from the place he stood.
Plunged wildly, in tbe raging flood.
The purling waves closed o'er the brave.
In stream ha loved ha found his grave.
B. A. CHJLDERS.
The Fall Coiffure and Its Accessories
THE new Autumn coiffures afford to
.every woman the opportunity to
make herself attractive If she will.
The word "coiffures" Is used advisedly.
for Fashion no longer demands that worn
en of all types and degrees of loveliness
and even those of no apparent loveliness
at. all shall slavishly follow one mode,
whether it is becoming; or not. That sort
of "fashlonableness" was so flagrantly
overdone in the case of the exaggerated
pompadour that nowadays the really
modish woman is distinguished less by
her close adherence to the fashion of the
moment than by her ingenious adaptation
of it to her own individual requirements.
In only one essential detail is Madame
la Mode at all arbitrary, and that Is in
the matter of waving the hair. It is not
good form to be so palpably Marceled as
to suggest Involuntary thoughts of the
curling iron to every beholder; but one
simply must display a wealth of softly
waving locks this season, or submit to be
considered hopelessly out of date. All the
new millinery seems to have been mod
eled for youthful faces and luxuriant
tresses, and the outlook would be distinct
ly dreary for the woman who cannot lay
claim to either asset were It not possible
to assume a virtue even though one have
it not.
Fortunately, however, a becoming ar
rangement of the hair will go a long way
toward Investing the face with youthful
ness and charm. If not with 'actual
beauty.
The moderately high coiffure will pre
vail during the coming Winter with out
door toilettes, while the fashion of wear
ing the hair low on the neck will be pop-,
ular for evening and Indoor dress among
the younger women. -.
The low coiffure, though charming, is
not at any season of the year adapted for
the street ; but with the Winter costume
it is simply unthinkable. In fact, no
matter how well the hair Is cared for,
constant contact with it will Inevitably
result in a greasy looking spot on the
collar of gown or coat, while a fur collar
or boa will quickly assume a mangy ap
pearance; that Is, to say the least, un
lovely. Moreover, It is virtually impos
sible to keep the modern hat securely In
place when the hair is dressed low, while
there Is invariably a hiatus between the
hat trimmings and the coll of hair that
Is not only inartistic, but distressingly un
tidy. In the high coiffure the hair is waved
softly and gathered into a loose coll on
the crown of the head, the front arrange
ment being managed with a view to
forming a becoming frame for the face.
A youthful effect Is produced by the sim
ple addition of a smart ribbon bow, placed
a little on one side. Just where the coll
and the front hair meet. Large tortoise
shell pins are used for fastening the coil,
and the loose locks are secured with In
visible wire pins. False curls are no longer
worn by women of taste. Occasionally a
Jeweled barette is used for keeping in
place the stray nape locks.
Side combs are quite out of date, but
one really handsome high comb of Span
ish or Empire design Is often worn at
the back, partly as a support and partly
as a finish to the coll. Without some
such addition, the - high coiffure looks
rather Incomplete, and Is apt to slip out
of place. When worn with a low chlffure
the comb Is placed Immediately above the
coll or braid. Usually, however, the comb
Is omitted when the hair Is dressed low.
With the latter style of hair dressing the
front hair may either be parted Madonna
wise or on the side, after the fashion of
L'Aiglon, or it may be waved back loose
ly from the face without parting.
Among the new hair ornaments are so
many dainty and artistic devices that the
woman with a weakness for looking her
best will find it hard to resist them. Ex
ceptionally pretty for evening wear are
the glittering moths and dragon flies of
spangled gauze, one of which apparently
poised- lightly on the halrt but in reality
fastened invisibly with a shell hairpin
imparts a charming piquancy to the sim
plest toilette. Then there are coquettish
little bows of Louis Seize design, made of
wired- gauze or ribbon and sparkling with
tiny iridescent sequins; and these almost
any dexterous needlewoman might dupli
cate for herself at small cost.
The favorite colors in these dainty tri
fles are the various shades of rose, helio
trope and mauve; but the same ornaments-are
charmingly duplicated in black,
with glittering sequins of Jet These lat-,
tor may -. appropriately be worn with
mourning toilettes. though they are
adapted to any occasion. A novel Jet or
nament for a -high coiffure consists of a
narrow coronet with a Mercury wing on
either side. On a golden-haired beauty of
statuesque proportions and perfect pro
file this unique ornament would be sim
ply stunning.
One involuntarily recalls the words of
the old song, "She Wore a Wreath of
Roses," when one glances at the ex-i
qulsite flower wreaths included" among
the late Importations from Paris. These
are not always made of roses, however,
being quite as often composed of a seinlr
coronet of maidenhair fern, with a sin
gle orchid in the center. Some pretty
wreaths display clusters of tiny "button"
roses, made of sarin ribbon and comhln'ed
with sprays of artificial fern. Wreaths of
heather and forget-me-not are entranc
Ingly pretty, and bid fair to becomo ex
tremely popular; but It should be borne
in mind that these floral chapiets can- bo
appropriately worn only by- 'debutantes
and the younger women. .i
