Fads and Fashions.
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.

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

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

manner as is satin with lace In ths

The climax has been reached in win

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

been adopted for wear on ths street and
in public conveyances.

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

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.

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.

Its special handlness consists In a tape

Anty Drudge's Horrible Dream.
Anty Drudge'UL&czy sakesl III! I'm glad there's
no danger of that dream ever coming true. I dream
ed there waa no such so&p as Fels-Naptha and I had .
to wash clothes in the old way of boiling: in hot water
with ordinary laundry soap and hard-rubbing.
Nothing could be more awfuL"
Fels-Naptha has changed everything
on washday.
Instead of a hot fire, little or no fire.
Instead of boiling, just a short soaking,
in cool or lukewarm water.
Instead of steam and smell through the 4
house, no steam nor odor at all.
Instead of all day over the wash, a half
day.
Instead of hard-rubbing, only a little
rubbing.
Yes, Fels-Naptha has completely
changed washdayl
Fels-Naptha is imitated but not dupli
cated. You are sure of the genuine if you
insist on the red and green wrapper.
