One of the heavy crapes, it material called zigzag, Is used la the develop ment of this dress, which displays many new features. Plametls embroideries in yellow and black form the vest and coat portion, beneath which the zigzag takes the guise of a redingote. Many Basa Usee to Which "Infinite" la - Put Nowaday. What is happening to the word "Infi nite?" It used to hare great and rare associations and serve great needs. Now I meet It everywhere and with every possible application. One boa set is Infinitely more beautiful than another, one brand of wine Infinitely preferable to the next He has an infi nite desire to see her; she would infi nitely prefer a hobble skirt to one with gores. One novel Is Infinitely superior to Its predecessor; a character in it In finitely prefers game to domestic fowL There Is no association too trivial for it, do use too petty. Our books and our newspapers alike bristle with mis used "infinites." The word, like Lau rence Sterne and Lord Byron, has be come a social literary success, and no worse fate can befall a great author or a great word. It Is taken up by the fashion paperand by society Journals, and this season's styles are usually ln flnltely prettier than the last Infinitely pretty! Not only careless Journalistic folk who like to produce an emphatic effect at any cost are guilty. My learned fronds put it to common use. So do I when I forget We are Infinitely jlhltfed nowadays to onu who gives as a lift of a few blocks and Infinitely grateful for oar Christmas presents. Our greatest and best authors vie with one another in bringing this great word down from Its high estate, and It la only a few days since I heard a most fastidious man of letters lecturing in Boston say that the Sunday supple ments would be infinitely more divert ing If something I forget what were different The robin's note in "Fiona Macleod". Is 'infinitely winsome." Even as critical a writer as Mrs. Anne Douglas Sedgwick speaks of a heroine "infinitely malleable" through love and of a fat young German musician as feeling 'Infinite compassion." That to be sure. Is better than Arnold Bennett's description of a womao as "Infinitely stylish. Scribnefs. He Women are such contrary ma tures. She What is the trouble now? He Why, when a girl wants a raan'a !

They are tailed "buttonhole openers," and men seem well satisfied to possess them. Artificial pearls are a part of every day life to a woman, but It la rather cow to see them pressed Into service for men's jewelry. This Is being done, however, and successfully, for studs, which men like to feel are not distress ingly valuable on account of their abil ity to slip away, are to be had for $10 for a set of three. Scarf pins also are priced at $10. Both these are set In fourteen karat gold. Embroidered Crapes, ' To combine with the plain cottop crapes there are attractive embroidered crapes with tiny figures, conventional and floral, worked out in the bright col orings so highly favored this winter. There are also bordered crapes with floral borders as exquisitely embroider ed by machinery as if done by hand In fact the marvels of machinery have never revealed themselves In a more astounding- manner than now. Take, for instance, the-exquisitely fine Ap penzel embroidery. To even think of imitating it seems like a foolish dream, yet it has been copied by machinery so perfectly that only an expert could detect the difference.

Almost Surgical Skill Used en the lee te Make It Perfect Scotch players regard the conditions at Alpine curling aa somewhat too lux urious. The Ice is almost too perfect, and the tactics that proved successful on the rougn ice or a Scottish pona have to be abandoned la favor of more subtle methods. The ordinary visitor to the Alps has very little idea of the science and work which are necessary to insure a good rink, and the Scotch curler who baa been accustomed to the rough Ice form ed by a few nights' frost is somewhat startled when be sees an army of Ice men working through the night A rink In the Alps is a costly business. The ground Is carefully leveled in the spring, and after the first fall of snow a squad of icemen tramp the snow down as evenly as possible. The flood ing Is done In a series of elaborate stages, which can be carried out only when the sun la shining. The secret of good Ice Is to go slowly. This was proved by a clever expert ment The discovery of this was due to Rudolph Bauman, perhaps the best Iceman In the Alps. He filled two wooden tubs with water, and the first froze bard In a night The second was allowed to fill gradually, drop by drop, throughout a fortnight The two blocks of ice were then put In the sunshine, and. whereas the Ice that had been formed in a single night disappeared within a week, the other block sur vived for three weeks. The Ice is carefully doctored every night with the skill of a first class sur geon. Small holes are trimmed and scoopea out with a knife. They are then filled with finely powdered Ice and sprinkled with boiling water. The result is an absolutely even surface of good Ice. London Times.
