Length and Line in the Latest Modes
fyW life ffw
BROWN SATIN IN TAILORED STYLE. USEFUL SUIT IN HERRINGBONE. TIMELY TRINKETS OF DRESS,
TUB KtHPT thought which strikes
the woman of snuill Income in
considering mollis for Winter
raiment In thr Important-p of length and
line. Height, real or afumod, she must
have. And limn must he the perfection
of straight!)? anil slimiicsa. This means
paving for gro.l lines. clone are the
voluptuous curves. swrtllr.g hips and
rounded bust and shoulders. To look at
faahlnn drawings and frshion figure in
amart shop windows, the inexperienced
woman may well think that the whole
feminine world has gone a-hantlng. And
truly it has itrown wondrous, thinner!
Hut where natural vllmncss, is not at
tainable in the short time allowed to ad
just the figure to incoming fashion, the
cortiere is Killing in her golden work
and women are paying froin J40 to l for
corsets whose power lies In reducing the
hip an Inch or more. The corset can do
wonders In simulating slrtndernen. and
next to that conies well-chosen under
wear, finely wrought tights for all stout
figures, and the new combination gar
ments, two pieces in one with flounces
only at the knees, for the naturally slen
der figure.
The new (town of whatever period sug
gests the absolute elimination of hips.
Teachers of physical culture are giving
special course to reduce hips, .but a good
corsetiere will secure more prompt re
sults. And the cut of the gown or coat
will do still more. This Is a season of
rare opportunities for the tailor or mo
diste who really knows how to give
straight line to rotund figures., for she
can name her own price and get It. The
up-to-date figure Is practically the same
width from shoulders to hips, the nar
rower the better. At the hips, the line
begins to run In. until around the feet, in
the case of house, calling and evening
gown, the long train seems to twiat
around, narrow and snake-like.
These long, plain skirts are first aids to
stout women in securing length of line.
Kobhed of her distinct belt or irdle line,
with the waist line run up under the
bust, with perfect harmony from throat
to hem of skirt in coloring, and absolute
ly no break the entire length of the frock.
she assumes a height and slenderness
Jhat she does not possess. On the other
hand, she must strenuously avoid draped
effects over hips and bust. These are
shown In the so-called classical models,
but they are for the slender women alone.
The stout woman can secure excellent
r esults by combining the Empire style
and the Princess cut, the long, straight,
simple front with an Empire back, partic
ularly good In house gowns.
The new skirt, long and clinging, or se
vere and tailored. Is known as the mount
ed skirt. That means it has the. appear
ance of being mounted on a very hteh
girdle which comes close to the bust line.
It Is a combination of the gored skirt
with the shaped high glrJile, accomplished
by running the gores of the skirt, admir
ably fitted, to a point Just below the
bust. Here It meets a bodice of the same
material, or at least a fabric matching
the skirt perfectly In tone, with a deep
yoke of harmonious coloring In softer fab
ric, or of lace or pet. For tailored
modes this mounted sjtlrt is generally fin
ished off with stitching, bias folds or pip
ing or a very fine line of braid. In house
gowns or evening frocks It la often hid
den by the draped girdle with long sash
ends in softest of fabrics.
By far the most interesting feature of
present modes Is the revival of the one
piece gown, of which the Princess mode
was a forerunner. Now the one-piece
frock may be built on classic lines with
beautiful draped effects, especially effec
tive in the softest satins and silks or
chiffon cloths. Directoire gowns with
enormous reveres In silks, satins and
broadcloths come next, and Empire gowns
In chiffon cloths, marquisettes and simi
lar weaves, are exquisite for evening use.
In colors, the only really vivid shade
which is shown In the smarter shops is
the peacock green or blue, call It what
you wIlL All other blues show a predom
inating influence ot gray, softening them
and incidentally making them more dura
ble: Leather and mustard color remain
very good, but they show a distinct soft
ening over the tints of last Winter, and
gray and brown seem to be mixed In
hopeless confusion. That means that tha
general tendency as the season advances
is toward neutral tints. The girl who
once wore baby blue or pale pink is now
wearing a shade of tan that looks almost
gray. Mauve is smartest of the smart.
You have to look twice at my lady's din
ner gown of brocade to find out whether
it Is tan, mauve or a .queer gray.
Some suggestions In this week's Illus
trations will be of great use to home
dressmakers. First, we have presented
two types of the mounted or high-girdled
skirt. One of these is in heavy brown
satin, tailored, with a long, straight
pointed coat which will give height to
the most commonplace figure. This rep
resents the last cry In tailored raiment
which can be utilized for church wear,
calling and a multitude of semi-dress oc
casions. The 6kirt barely clears the
ground, yet can be worn In trolleys or
comfortably and easily raised with one
hand when walking. The blouse beneath
shows little of 6atln and much of soft,
creamy lace and braiding on a deeper
cream satin.
The second Illustration is a trifle more
severe and gives an idea of what can be
done with simple herringbone cloth and
braid. And right vhere a word. If you
' I fill ill
f
AN EMPIRE HOUSE GOWN
have a good tailored suit left from last
year with a full pleated skirt, you can
make it over into this year's modes by
ripping, pressing and recuttlng so that
you have the mounted girdle effect. This,
of course, will leave you with a skirt far
too short. Lengthen this with alternate
folds or bands of the fabric in use with
one in contrasting material but not con
trasting color. If your suit was a check
or stripe in greenish brown, get a good
match in' plain broadcloth for your bands
or folds. If the fabric is plain, use a fine
striped or shot effact for bands. Then
make your reveres on your coat, pocket
lapets and cuffs of the new material, and
your new suit is complete. If you are re
making a house dress, do not attempt to
raise the girdle of the 'skirt. Make a
slightly draped blouse, and. matching the
fabric perfectly in softest of silk or satin,
build a draped or folded girdle with sash
ends.
This draped girdle with sash ends Is
shown in one of ' the illustrations. It
should be made of the most supple and
soft of fabrics, and should harmonize,
not furnish a contrast, with the gown.
On silk gowns they are made of lace,
net and chiffon.
Another trifle shown in this connection
Is the narrow velvet tie for the neck.
This matches the gown perfectly, or at
least tones into the hue of the fabric,
and is made of narrow velvet, finished
with tassels of the sama color, or In gold
or silver.
A pretty novelty In neckwear, a lace
collar finished with a fine chiffon niching
and velvet ribbon to match the gown, is
shown. These fussy little neck pieces are
not separate, but a part of the frock.
Introducing the lace used In the yoke,
some of the velvet, satin, silk or embroi
dery employed in the bodice and the In
evitable outstanding ruche which Is part
of this year's faddishness. It appears on
all collars and on many of the finer cuffs.
The Empire frock portrayed herewith is
a simple but effective model for young
matrons and girls. It is most effective in
the new clinging silks, marquisettes and
chiffon cloths. The ornamentation on the
yoke or short-waisted bodice and sleeves
may be rrfost elaborate, but the skirt la
I severely plain. MARV DEAN.
The Hand Beautiful and How to Make It So
ONK of -the certain results of vacation-days
Is a flood of Inquliies
about hands and their ailments.
The girl who has played golf and tennis
with ungloved hands writes nie a des
perate appeal, demanding how she can
get rid of freckles In - hours! The
woman who. without Kloves. has been
digging in her garden, wants to know
how to cure hangnails right away.
They all- seem to think that the ail
ments which rvKiili from weeks and per
haps months' ttf earelessnesj and abuse
of their" hands can cured with medi
cines In a few days if not a few hours.
To all -4t .these .eorresiiondents I must
say that-tmu he rctitilrv-I. ,-lsn much
patience and " vrsevcrance. To begin
with, ifyon have ,d the ungloved out
door life your hands will be either tanned
or roughened. For the ordinary tan use
an almond powdcj for wapliing instead of
soap. A . very, good formula for. such a
pow der Is this: -
Flanehrd ,aJmonds itowdered S ozs,
fnttle-tUili lione. pulverized 4 ozs.
White A'aatllc, .soup powdered).... 4 ozs

and shake this Into your washrag or

you wash. I'se warm, not hot or cold
water. Incidentally, if you hae no per

substitute at any housef urnUhhig store.

that is perforated. iVIluloid is better
than melHl for this purpose.
Another vrry xhI whitener for tanned
hand Is the oatmeal lotion, formula for
which has heen given frequently In thi
column. If you have mislaid the for
mula I will be glad to send it to you on
Tecetnt of a stamped and self-addressei
envelope. The oatmeal lotion Is easier to
frepai than the almond powder given
above and will answer in ail cases of
moderate tanning.

Here lsvie that is highly recommended:

Massage the hands thoroughly, exer
c'wlnc them Into a fre perspiration, then
apply the lotion with a soft cloth or
with a hrush. Allow It to dry on.
In using any freckle remover that con
tains acid, the han.ls are apt to become
reddened or a little sore. To counteract
IMa condition, wear old gloves to led.
ilcr corm tt-.a hanus with the cos- 1
metlc paste, formula for which has often
been given In this column.
When the finger tips are In bad shape
from outdoor work, and it is remarkable
how many women neglect their hands In
their enthusiasm for gardening, regular
manicuring 18 essential. Every day the
nails must be treated, and especially the
skin or little pockets In which the nails
arc set. If hangnails are present, they
must be cut close to the flesh with very
sharp curved sclesors which come for
this purpose, and then treated with pure
white vaseline. If you find It neces
sary to return to work Immediately, fas
ten a glove finger over the sore nail and
give the vaseline a chance to do Its heal
ing work.
If the nails have become very brittle,
apply this pomade at night, wearing very
large, old kid gloves over the bands:
1 .stache oil " ounce
Table salt 32 grains
Powdered resin 33 grains
Powdered alum 33 grains
White wax .' W grains
Carmine 2 grains
Pi-tttle nails crack around the edges,
are very uneven and unsightly and
should be treated at once.
If you have discoloration on the nail,
touch the spots with pure lemon Juice
or peroxide of hydrogen.
Several correspondents have asked
what to do for very white, characterless
nail. This Indicates a'condition beneath
the nail. In the flesh, and probably Indi
cates also an anemic condition of the
patient. The color can be simulated by
the use of a nail rouge or paste, formula
for which will be furnished on receipt of
stamped and addressed envelope. This
gives a pearly-pink tint to the nail, but
should not he used by those whose nails
are naturally a delicate pink. Highly
colored nails are not desirable.
If the skin Is cracked and these cracks
discolored, a simple oxide of zinc oint
ment will affect a cure. To make tills
use the following formula:
Spermaceti 2Vi ounces
White wax 1 ounce
Almond oil , Vs pint
Place the spermaceti and wax In a
double boiler, but do not allow the water
In the under part to boil, simply to get
hot enough to gradually melt the waxes.
When this has been accomplished, add
the almond oil very gradually, stirring
all the while. Measure this mixture care
fully by tablespoons and add to It Just
one-sixth of Its bulk in oxide of zinc.
That Is, If you have 12 tablespoons of
pomade yon must add only two of oxide
of zinc. To 24 tablespoons of pomade
you add four tableppoons of the zinc. Ap
ply this pomade to the hands every night
before retiring and wear over it old.
loose gloves. The hands will heal quick
ly and become beautifully firm and white
provided and this proviso is most Im
portantyou do not Immediately expose
your hands to rough work during the
day. There is absolutely no reason why
a woman should not train herself to do
rough work In gloves. One excuse of
fered . Is that they retard work. This
Is because the woman wears too tight a
glove. Have them loose and wear them
at first for sweeping, dusting and tending
fires. When you have accustomed your
self to doing this sort of work In old
cotton or kid gloves, you will be able to
train yourself to wear the loose rubber
gloves when washing dishes', scrubbing,
etc. And If you are not willing to train
yourself to working with such protection
for your hands, you deserve as ugly
hands as providence can give you for
vour Indifference and lack of persever
ance. KATHERINE MORTON.
Trifles Now AH Important
PACK away your pretty turnover
collars of linen with scalloped
ertges. They are behind the times.
The new- collars are all laid in folds,
and seem to swat,h the neck. They
are made of lawn, batiste, fine linen,
net. lace, satin, silk, cloth and velvet.
The heavier materials, silk satin, etc
if used at all, must match the frock or
bodice. And whatever' the .folds, the
top Is finished with a frill or ruchlng
of lace, chiffon, etc.
For wear with linen or other wash
bodices the smartest stock has a foun
dation of fine folds with the ruche, and
down the front runs a very lever
shaped Jabot. . scalloped and embroid
ered, which, covers the closing of the
stock in front. For a young girl a
smart new neck dressing consists of a
stock made from narrow folds, finished
with an embroidered Jabot and over
this what waa once known as the Bus
ter Brown or Peter Pan turnover col
lar cut away at the front to show the
folds of the stock and Jabot. For the
long-necked woman, the band of
bright ribbon or velvet which all Sum
mer has finished the top of the collar.
now rests around Its base, and for
wear with a heavy cloth Directoire or
cutaway coat, the stock is of soft silk,
net or lace folds finished with a single
end, pleated and edged with lace, which
runs through a buckle or ornament
toward the left shoulder.
With the long mousquetaire sleeves,
the two button glove is essential.
Never combine elbow gloves with shir
red lawn sleeves. Ton kill the style of the
sleeve and make It common-place.
The Psyche knot, either pure or
modified by the use of puffs and braids
Is the coiffure of the moment. This
means that the Grecian fillet In a sin
gle band or triple will be used. You
can buy It In tortoise shell banding
to keep the wavy locks In place and
then through the opening in the tor
toise shell, ribbons, tulle, velvet, etc..
may be run. Tulle is the softest for
evening wear, and ribbon if employed
at all must be soft. New combs are
very broad and finished with cabuchin
llke rnamenta under which ribbon
and tulle may be run. A stunning
comb in pale amber had ornaments set
In amethysts a.nd through these amethyst-colored
velvet ribbon was run.

The woman who can make either
wings, quills or flowers of ribbon, silk
or satin, will find employment for her
fingers this Fall. Ribbon ornaments
of all sorts will be used on Fall and
Winter millinery. MARY DEAN.
Hints on Cooking Meats. .
Never pour water Into the pan In
which you roast lamb. Rub the meat
with salt and pepper and scatter flour
lightly over the top. Then cover with
the "leaf" of fat which comes with the
roast. Cover with a second pan of
same size and baste with the Juices of
the meat. Water destroys the flavor.
When ordering Hamburger steak, se
lect the meat. Do not permit tha
butcher to put in tailings and discol
ored scraps. Fresh rump or round is
best. Have It first ground, then laid
on the meat block and the onion
chopped into it with a cleaver.
To get the best results in stewing
chicken according to the good old
fashioned methods, disjoint the fowl,
wipe each piece clean, and drop into
water Just coming to a ' boil. Cover
tightly and set back on the stove to
simmer very gently. When about half
done, add salt. When the meat Is Just
ready to drop from the bone, you will
find your stock greatly reduced. Add
an equal quantity of 'milk, thicken with
flour, and then add pepper and parsley
chopped fine. Serve on crisp toast.
If you Intend to -serve cold ham
whole, parboil and then bake it. Scrub
the ham thoroughly and soak over
night In cold water. Next -morning
wipe off clean, lay in cold water In a
granite Iron pot and bring just to a
boll. Pour off this water, add more coid
and bring to a boll the second time: add
a handful of bay leaves and some whole
cloves. Simmer for two hours, remove
from the pot, peel off the akin, lay In a
dripping pan in which you have poured
a. cup of water and one of sherry. Cover
with bread crumbs and pepper, bake
until golden brown.

THIS Is the season of awakeninjr in
club life. ' And especially in subur
ban towns, small cities and villages,
clubs form one of the most important
and active' features of the community's
social life.
The number of Inquiries which reach
my desk show that the inexperienced
need advice as to their entrance into a
new club, their duties and obligations.
First as to the typical woman's club.
Mrs. Brown-Jones, an active worker In
the East-End Art Club has asked Mrs.
Hamilton, a newcomer to Kast End, to
join the Art club. Presumably she has
not done this until she has presented
Mrs. Hamilton's name to the membership
committee, who have decided tiiat Mrs.
Hamilton will be welcome. Never, if you
are an active club woman, propose a
name unless you are sure its owner will
be a welcome addition to the membership
and never suggest to a friend whose ac
quaintance you value,' that she join your
club unless she is sure of being elected.
To return to Mrs. Hamilton. She has
been the .recipient of a courtesy at the
hand of her friend, and she should make
sure that she Is able to reciprocate before
joining the club. "Will she have time to
attend meetings, regularly, to prepare
such papers as are demanded of her, and
to entertain the club as often" as may be
required of each member? The wo
man who "hates art" but who desires so
cial recognition through club life should
Join a club devoted to other lines of
study. Her sin of omission is sure to
find her out.
Having joined a club, Mrs. Hamilton
will not try to run it. Whatever her
gift of leadership, she will do well to
alio' at least one "Winter to pass before
she seeks office or attempts to succeed
older members. If she has any special
gift along any line, be sure members will
rind it out and give her special work
to do.
The ' newcomer will advance her in
terests best by preparing bright, brljef
and interesting papers, by being ready
to step Into the breach when some one
disappoints, by dressing attractively and
tastefully at all meetings and by taking
an interest in what obher members are
doing. The woman, who chatters while
other women are reading papers,
who is interested only when she has the
floor, or who blocks all plans, which she
does not propose, is never popular.
Many women recently elected to club
membership ask "Who calls first?"
Unquestionably the old club members.
The newcomer waits until the older mem
bers make the first advances, and it
must be borne In mind that In very large
clubs, an exchange of calls is not con
sidered necessary. The social meetings
offer opportunity for the newcomer to
show her social qualifications, and if she
makes a good impression, the women
who are worth while will note the fact
and call promptly. But never does the
new member, the newcomer In a com
munity, make the first calls.
Members elected to afternoon bridge or
whist or euchre clubs should count the
expense before accepting. If the club
meets weekly and consists of 36 women,
you will be expected to entertain Just
once In four months. If the club meets
twice a week, as many do. then you will i
have to entertain at least twice during !
the season. Some clubs of this sort meet j
In the afternoon, and light refreshments
are served. If it is a luncheon club. I
whist - Is played during the morning,
starting at 11 o'clock and luncheon is
served at xl or 1:30 o'clock, giving mem
bers a chance to attend receptions in the
afternoon or more often other card
parties.
When both husband and wife are In
vited to join a card club which meets
in the evening, neither must accept un
less reasonably sure that the other will
attend at least a majority of the meet
ings. The wife of the tremendously
busy man, who may attend not more
than one or two meetings during the sea
son, can upset the calculations of the
various hostesses who must supply an
extra man to take the husband's place.
If husband and wife do not both play
cards, the malcontent can also make
things very unpleasant for the one who
enjoys playing. Another factor to be con
sidered Is the expense. The couple of
small Income should ascertain just what
prizes, refreshments, etc., are to cost be
fore pledging themselves to membership.
When young girls are invited to Join
dancing clubs or-what are known as sub
scription dances, the parents should un
derstand very distinctly that the daugh
ter's expenses must be paid by them.
The young men of the club do not pay all
expenses. Generally, a couple of mar
ried women act as patronesses, the
young men pay their share and the
parents of the girls pay theirs, Including
hall, music, refreshments, etc. Quite
often the young men arrange to call for
the girls In turn and tBcort them to and
from the dance, hut in some cases, the
girl goes under the care of her mother,
aunt or other chaperone. It Is not obli
gatory for the young men of the club to
provide an escort, but youth generally
does "manage this. The important point
Is that the parents should be interested
In the club and be sure that proper
chapcronage Is provided.
PRUDENCE STANDTSH.
Woman Who Courts Flesh
"New York Evening Sun.
IT WOL'LD seem, from the deluge of ad
vice poured into the stout woman's ear,
tharhere are no overlean women in ex
istence, or, if there tie such, they are well
satisfied with their angles. While fashion
frowns heavily upon any signs of buxom
ness and we must edmit that a large per
centage of femininity past 30 Is fighting
to retain youthful contours there do exist
women who would undergo tortures in
order to exchange their sharp outlines
for softer curves.
It is ell very well to prate of the "lines
of youth," but when one's shoulder blades,
elbows and hips are bony to scragginess
one Is bound to yearn for a light coating
of adipose tissue. Let us not forget,
however, in the search for artistic curves,
that It is usually the woman with decided
tendency to "fret and worry" who is
thin even unto attenuation.
The very slender woman never im
presses you as really reposing; she sits
on the edge of her chair, wriggles her
slim feet and continually works imaginary
patterns with ten diligent little fingers.
When she enters a room she moves from
point to point and " finally bends un
restgnedly to a seat, the hardest one in
th room: while her plump friend gravi
tates to a pile of cushions and snuggles
Into their depths as naturally as the soft
eyed Maltese- curls herself Into a ball
before the open grate.
Then too. the bony woman is so deadly
in earnest when she talks. She searches
the room for imaginary threads, walks to
the window to rearrange faultlessly hiing
curtains readjusts ornaments, continually
hears the telephone bell and does every
thing to keep her nerves a-Jangie.
Meanwhile Margot reclines upon her
sea of cushions with dreamy half-closed
eyes, gurgling affirmatives and rapidly ac
quiring nesn. it wouia o -wen ior me
overlean lass to make a study of Margot
and her ways. Of course, if one has the
born tendency to "fret and worry," It Is
a soul-discouraging task to uproot the
evH. and most difficult to' cultivate repose
if one has been stung with the poison
of unrest.
The meager woman who courts flesh to I
round her angles into curves of beauty J
needs fresh lr and sunshine in unstinted
measure, and must have them. She must
eat a great deal of fruit; those denied to
her obese sister are her special friends.
She must, iien possible, take a glass of
milk between meals, in mid-morning and
afternoon anrl again before going to' bed.
A" wafer or two can be eaten at the same
time, while the milk ' must be slowly
sipped, not gulped down rapidly.
9he may eat cereals freely and all the
starcl- and sweet vegetables. White and
sweet potatoes, peas, com and beans, and
salads to promote digestion, are her main
stays. Meats are according to appetite
and taste. All sorts of sweets are fatten
ing, particularly chocolate, which is also
especially nutritious.
Apple and Celery Salad.
A good way to use up celery left
overs. Cut firm, white raw apples into'
dice and the same quantity of celery.
Mix with mayonnaise dressing and
serve at once on a curly lettuce leaf or
In appla cups. To make the latter,
with a sharp knife remove all the
center of bright, green or red apples
and throw them Into Ice-water. Im
mediately cut the part you have re
moved into thin silvers, mix with the
celery and mayonnaise and drain the
apple cups before filling with the
salad. Half a walnut meat or a mar
aschino cherry may be used to top off
the individual portions. Sometimes a
few chopped Kngllsh walnuts are add
ed to the celery and rfpple. But what
ever the combination, the apple must
not be permitted to stand and darken.
Apple Fritters Select firm apples, pare
and core, then cut into slices not thicker
fiian a third of an Inch. Have ready a
kettle of boiling lard such as you use
In frying doughnuts. Now mix quickly
a batter consisting of one pint of milk. .
three eggs, beaten light, a third of- a
teaspoon of salt, a pint of flour and a
teaspoon of baking powder. Mix the
beaten eggs with half the milk and the
salt, then alternately the flour and the
rest of the milk, the baking powder last.
Dip the slices of apple in this batter
and fry golden brown. Sprinkle with
powdered sugar and serve at one
