NEW YORK, Dec. 19. The season is approaching its height and those in the social swim must devote their thoughts to the planning of gowns snd costumes for all Sorts of Social functions. TVio planning of ball dresses is always a difficult problem, and it is particularly so this season, owing to the radical changes in lines and ma terials dictated by fashion. Practically ail dancing frocks are long this season and, no matter how filmy may be their texture, the majority of them are cUng ing, although not to the extent of out lining the figure as in the typical di re itolre models. While every imaginable delicate hue is now employed for ball costumes, none of them is garish, despite the weakest orgsn. If there is weakness of stomach! liver or lungi, there it a weak link in the chsio of life which may snap at any time. Often this so-called '.'weakness" it caused by laok of nutrition, the result of weakness or disease ef the ttomsch and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Diseases and weaknesses of the stomach and its allied organs are cured by tbevse ol Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. When the weak or diseased "ttomsch is eared, diseases of ether organs which sssst remote from the stomach but which bsvs their origin in a digested condition of the ttomscb and Other organs of digestion snd nutrition, are eared alto.

The craze for tinsels has resulted in the production of some charming weaves in the ultra-fashionable amethyst, orchid and opal shades. Among these is a silk gause overlaid with gold and silver frosting which makes up into the most fascinating of dancing frocks. These tinsel weaves are worn alike by matrons, girls of several years' experience and blushing debutantes and are also used as a foundation for the lightest of nets, for tnll.. orl fnr .hlffnn. whlrh look DOSi- tively like clouds spread over rainbows and last about as long. Whits Is no longer first favorite as a hall rn-ain color, mlthouxrh It Is Still considerably worn by girls in their first season. More fashionable are the danc ing frocks showing some sugnt coior riif in the form of delicately colored lace or tinseled medallions and motifs or band and hand embroideries. These are employed to outline the corsage, as neck and sleeve bands, and, to a lim ited extent, for decorating the skirt. Painted chiffons and flowered messn llnes are the most practical of all danc Inr frorlc materials. It is true, they cost a trifle more, but they require no nnn trimm nir. tThirfon. notwunsiann- ing its apparent delicacy of texture, will withstand a great deal of rough usage, while messaline, soft snd fine as floss, may be drawn through a bracelet and lnnk rrrlv the worse for it.

Soutache has by no means given place to embroideries or applications, but more particularly Is it used on the heavier fabrics such as are worn by "matrons of years" to the opera and to dinners, the intricate Draiaing oeing es nrlallv effective on the delicately col' oned broadcloths, which In every other detail are moaeiea alter tnose ut otto man or satin. Cloth is frequently com bined with velvet in much the same manner as is satin with lace In ths tunic-draped costumes, the lighter fab ric being employed for the skirt, in which event ths soutache embroidery appears in disks snd scrolls upon both drapery and bodice. The climax has been reached in win ter millinery and by Christmas less ex aggerated effects will probably be In vogue. Women of really good taste have never taken up the monstrous flap Jack hats with their gigantic flowers and wings with any great enthusiasm and wore those Immense Mats only on occasions when a carriage could bs used. Murh more modest styles have been adopted for wear on ths street and in public conveyances. Although filet, net and tulle are prime favorites for the transparent yokes and sleeves worn on nearly every frock. Each of the chief or gans or the body it a link ia the Chain of Life. A chain it no stroafar thsn in weakest link, the body no stronger than its there is a growinar tsndencr to substl tute gold and silver lace. This is a pretty rashion la itself, but often is not becominc It should be soft, with folds of tulle against the neck. Filet net or lace is used as a foundation, ana ins threads of silver or gold are worked out scantily in some kind of small design. Ths girl who is tired of a turnover linen collar and who does not cars to wear the hlarh linarerle stock for every day use, will be glsd to know that the old fashion of tying & ribbon around the neck has been revived. Wide mes saline satin ribbon Is used, boned at ths sides, wun a ruciimg top and Dotiom. This Is placed around the- neck, the ends crossed at the back and tied in front in a short, stiff bow. These rib bons are easily adjusted and are becoming- to most women. At small evening affairs where slightly low gowns are worn, ths pretty fashion has been Introduced of wearing a band of colored velvet ribbon around ths neck. It Is tied in a small, flat bow directly under the chin. It is copied from the old Boucher pictures and was adopted by the women of that time. It is prettier when worn with a gown mat is not very low ana it goes well with a slightly souara neck. It must be tied at the very top of the neck. If put at the base it destroys the lines rrom eartip to snouiaer. There is a srrolnsr tendency on the part of the young women to dress their hair quite simply and the single psycho coiriure is Becoming extremely popular. It is really more of a sinsle cuff than anything else, and it is quite adroitly made. The hair is combed back from a small pompadour or a front parting to a point aooui tnree incnes aDove tne nape, of the neck. There the hair is fled with a bit of silk ribbon the color of the hair. Then it is rolled over the linger Into a long, loose, careless puff. This is secured invisibly at each end. There is no sign of a comb or other fastening or ornament. Soft cordlngs are seen among the new Indoor dress trimmings and are used to simulate buttonholes, finish panels and outline 'brassiers. A variation of the usual pierot ruff is one composed of white and gray ma line, from the collar of which spring minute tails of brown fur. There is a growing tendency for the costume that is of one color from neck to hem, but hats do not necessarily either match or contrast. A novelty in footwear that provides for the display of coquettish hosiery Is found In the new suede boots, which are slashed from top to instep on either side of the front seam. Shadow stripes and checks of the one tone kind remain as good as ever, al though their downfall was predicted in ui? early ihij. FLORENCE FAIRBANKS. K It H Some Simple Puddings. THE modern, up to date cook utilizes almost anything at hand which adds to the appearance of her pro- ductlons. Thus It has come to pass that the old time pudding cloth has been superseded if the kitchen boasts no pretty pudding molds by such available substitutes as baking powder cans, cocoa boxes, lard pails, etc. These Simple molds cost absnlutelv nnfhlrr are pleasing In shape, make serving easy and lessen the danger of soggl- ness. Butter the molds well and put in the mixture, leaving ample room for the puuainp to rise, cover with buttered paper oe tore, adjusting the lid to pre vej the water from penetrating. Stand t! mold in a larger sauceDan with a c.wse fitting lit, and to prevent the pud- ding from scorching on bottom, elevate the mold slightly with several thick nesses of paper, some nails or an old lid driven full of holes, if a trivet Is not at hand. If several small molds are cooking In the same kettle, separate them with paper and put a weight on top to keep them down. Surround the molds with boiling water to about two thirds their height and continue the cooking steadily and at the same tem perature until done. Keep closely cov ered to confine the steam, thus intensi fying the heat. Replenish the supply of water as needed, using boiling water always for this purpose. Turn the pud dings from the molds as soon as they are taken from the Are, else they be come soggy and stick. Steamed Apple Pudding. Pare, core and thinly slice sufficient mellow tart apples to make a quart. Add a tea spoonful of cinnamon, sugar according to their tartness and one naif a cupful of water. Codk until soft in a well buttered granite kettle on top of the range. Make a biscuit dough of two cupfuls of flour, one level tablespoonful of baking powder, a rounding table spoonful of butter and sufficient sweet milk to mix. Roll the dough to nt the size of the kettle, put over the apples, cover tightly and cook about 15 min utes without lifting the lid. Invert on a deep, large plate for ' serving; the dough will be underneath and the apples on top. Serve with rich cream and sugar, or with vanilla sauce. This simple and inexpensive pudding may be varied at pleasure by using other fruits, as peaches, berries, plums, etc. Steamed Fruit Pudding. 81ft to gether one and three quarters cupfuls of flour, half a level teaspoonful each of soda and cinnamon, and fourth of a tea spoonful each of cloves and nutmeg, add one and a half cupfuls fruit raisins, currants and citron mixed and mix thoroughly. Melt a fourth of a cupful of butter in half a cupful of hot molasses, add half a cupful of milk, and stir gradually into the flour mixture. Turn Into well buttered half pound cocoa or baking powder cans, and steam about an hour and a half. Serve with hard sauce. Dates or firs chopped fine make an agreeable change In place of the fruits given. Entire Wheat Pudding Sift together two cupfuls of entire wheat flour, a level teaspoonful each of soda and cin namon and half a level teaspoonful of cloves; add a cupful of chopped apples and a cupful of raisins, citron and nuts, mixed. Heat half a cupful of molasses, sdd a third of a cupful of butter and, when melted, a cupful of milk, then stir gradually into the first mixture. Mold and steam as in the preceding recipe. Serve with hard or lemon sauce. This very excellent pudding, like the two given before It requires no eggs, which is a desirable advantage when eggs are Scarce and high. St Some Simple Gift.

Child's Bib An excellent way for making children's bibs and one that fully answers the purpose Is made -by using the regular yoke pattern, cutting the back deep enough so that a narrow piece of the goods comes under the arm. instead of the same depth yoke in front, cUt the material as long as the child's dress, rounding the goods at the side If you prefer. Join the back yoke to the front piece; cut the sleeves, and sew In; face the yoke, neck and sides with bias strips of the material. Two buttons will be sufficient for the back. When finished you will have a bib that not only entirely covers the front of the child's dress, but also protects the sleeves. Childish Imagination.

"All right" said Lulu, 18, who had been In his office two year Two days later a lawyer and a cou ple of eastern capitalists curae into the office. ... ., , , .. "What can I do for you?' asked the ''"Nothing. I reckon," answered the lisrar "We came hers to see about the purchase of the Saugre De Christo mine, but as you say Mr. So-and-So won t be DacK ior a ween, we 11 nave to wait." . The three men started out. Lulu called after them. "Better not go. There 'are several other people after that mine. I've got authority ito close the deal, if you've got, the prtce. and It's quite likely to be sold before Mr. So-and-So gets back." The men came back. They sat down. They talked the deal over with the girl for half an hour. Then they bought the mine for $200,000. The papers had Firevlously been signed, ready for de Ivery. MUa Thomas got a good -si zed check as bonus for her part Tn the deal, and took a vacation on run pay. . It It A Traveler's Apron. THIS Is a simple article to make, yet one of the most useful of gifts. It Is meant to tie around the waist when making a traveler's toilette, al ways a difficult proceeding in the nar row quarters of a ' Pullman. Whjn traveling It Is difficult matter to keep the toilet accessories together. Take a niece of linen, the natural color, snd I THE MOTHERS' CORNER stays can be inserted easily, or removed' by bendtns- the stays slightly in the center. Ths stays - can be applied tn gasoline when soiled, and cleansed wun out losing their shape or stiffness. To Dry Sweater After washing a sweater try drying it on a clothes hang er. It will keep Its shape and stretch tn length Instead of at the neck and shoulders. To Blue In Hard Water Take ths usual amount of bluing, mix It with two tablespoonfuls of sweet milk. Stir in the rinsing water until the desired shade. Then rinse the clothes as usual. They will never streak. Ironing Tucks When Ironing baby's dresses or other garments that have both tucks and lace or embroidery trimming, Iron the tucks on right aide first, reverse and iron the trimming on ths wrong side. Make the task of iron ing handkerchiefs easier; as you damp en ths clothes wrap the small articles In a handkerchief and iron as you finish ths garment. Ironing Shirt Bosoms Boiled starch should be used in preference to the rsw and should be applied hot to collars, shirt bosoms and cuffs. It should be about the consistency of cream and in order to prevent sticking to the iron a little borax may be added. Gather the part of the linen to be stiffened In the hand and dipping first into cold water, put into the hot starch. Rub tbe starch well into the shirt and then clap the stiffened portions between ths hands. Remove with a rag any superfluous bits of starch and fold, taking care to keep all the starched parts together. The shirt Is laid front uppermost, the cuffs straightened and laid on the bosom and ths collar Is folded down over the fronts. Ths fronts are dou bled over ona another, the shirt is fold- eJ again in front and then turned up from ths bottom a few Inches, after which it Is tightly rolled. Leave for a couple of hours and In the meantime see that tne irons are not ana very clean. Then lav the shirt on the bosom board and go over the starched parts with a clean wet rag wrung out of cold water. Next apply the hot iron, going backward and forward until the matrlal is dry and shows a gloss. If blisters appear on tne Dosom, treat Dy ironing over a clean damp rag placed over tne spot In Ironing cuffs and col lars they should first be Ironed wrong; side out, after which they are treated tne same way on the other side. ' Removable Buttons. To fasten fancy buttons on a wash waist Instead of sewing, pin. from the back with a small shield pin. , This holds them securely, does not tear th; goods or show, and can be removed when the waist is washed without ths trouble of ripping them from the waist each tlme. To Sew Rickrack. When sewing on rickrack braid, so popular for trimming children's clothes, be sure to catch only the edges of" the braid and article you are sewing it to, or it will curl up and be hard to iron after washing. native, and the mother must discrim inate between a direct falsehood and a tale which is the result of a highly developed Imagination. The child who is a dreamer often tells or some won derful experience which it has imag ined has happened and which It really has come to believe is true. Teaching the child to tell the truth absolutely and to begin all the Imaginary tales with "Once upon a time" will teach It to discriminate Between facts and flo tion. It is unreasonable for a mother to expect a Child to respect the truth If she is not perfectly trutnrui . nerseu. Something pretty for winter use is found in a baby carriage robe made of white angora. The arrangement, more than the material. Is what I wish to bring to "our attention. It is msde very much like a pillow case, neavuy lined with soft material, and Miss Baby is slipped into the little bag and all sorts 01 gyrations and gymnastic feats of the little kicker would not throw oft the warm, comfortable robe. If one could not get the angora for a robe, double thicknesses of white eiderdown would serve the purpose. Do not deceive the child. Never send the child to the kitchen on soma pre tense and then slip out the front door, leaving It to come back and find you gone. Do not promise the child some thing unless you are sure you can fulfill the promise; and If this later becomss impossible, explain why It is so. piece at the bottom and divide Into pockets as in making shoe bags. Make pockets for pins, hair pins, comb, brush, manicure set, needle and thread, etc. Its special handlness consists In a tape run through the top to tie on when using. When not in use the apron can be rolled up tightly and put in a handy place. It will not make a bulky bundle for even the small hand satchel, and will be gladly appreciated by all who travel.
