A toast to timely raiment
That timely fashion sews:
A ioh$t to dainty ''hristmas frock*,
And nil their frills and hows.
From days immemorial, "To the Ladies '
has been considered an honorable Christ
mas toast. So why not now lift the Yule
cup to their gowns, to whose sweet frivoli
ties the most invincible belles of any period
doubtless owed much?
The new toilets designed for the many
dances which will celebrate Cliristmastide
seem somehow this year more than evec
calculated to do damage under the mistle
toe. For one thing, unless fashioned for a
dame or damsel high in fortune, a delicate
simplicity marks the best models, and
everywhere white is queen over color.
With these already conquering qualities
Christmas tokens now and then come in for
ornament?holly and mistletoe in garland
trimmings, corsage knots and even head
wreaths. Tulle, the old-fashioned "Illu
sion." is in again, and it is again some
times combined with moss rosebuds, as in
tho days when woman's loveliness turned
the brain of man and sometimes ruled
politics. So since fashion now wills that
woman shall once more be soft and charm
ing. a toast to Christmas dance frocks!
And, as in the good old times, a crack on
the head for any varlet who dares not lift
l is cup.
To come down to less high-flown data,
yards and yards and yards of stuff are
needed for the new dance gowns: that is.
for their skirts and sleeves, and if they are
made of diaphanous materials that require
under-building.
One of the most adorable tulle evening
frocks seen was in raw edged billows of
shaded rose. Roj.es of small satin rosebuds,
likewise in shaded pinks, was the trimming.
These were looped in a triple garland on
the skirt and bordered the very low satin
bodice. The merest wisps of tujle, topped
by a loop of the buds, formed excuse for
sleeves, which dropped on the bare arm j
some distance below the shoulder.
Flower Garniture.
Another delightful gown with flower gar
lilture showed the pompadour influence in
its color scheme and arrangement of trim
mlng. Made of a silk spotted net of ex
ceeding delicacy, wreaths of pink roses in
terwoven with pale blue velvet ribbon com
posed its deckings. '
These colored velvet ribbons, on white,
are extensively used for evening gowns.
Frequently combined with point d'esprit, a
fad is to put them on in up and down
strips with loop ends. In this way skirt
iiip yokes and effective sleeve and bodice
trimmings are made, but when the velvet Is
used in cneircllng rows, it is always m dif
ferent widths.
Ti e large quantity of material needed is :
due to the fact that dancing skirts are
fuller and longer than formerly. But a |

BOUGH.
loon of trimming: of some sort on the skirt,
through which the arm is slipped, lifts the
train for the actual dance; and, of course,
seated or walking the "tail" is an addition
to grace.
For the youngest weareia, however?mai
dens not yet out and buds of the first sea
son's freshness?a skirt floor length, or one
only slighly resting upon It, is more ap
proved. For these wearers satin bebe rib
bons and black velvet and black chenille
cord are also considered desirable trim
mings, and If flowers are to deck their cos
tumes, they must be of the tiniest descrip
tion.
Lace Robes.
All things considered, the present fash
ions not only allow much scope for taste,
but admit of lovely effects at comparatively
little expense At all of the shops robe
gowns in lace nets are sold as low as $16.
Silk linings, net interlinings and ribbon
trimmings for these will cost altogether no
more than $14. So if the prospective wearer
can do the sewing, behold a fetching get
up for $.?. Not so very cheap, many may
say. but reflect upon the prices of dress
makers and the cost of a good ready-made
gown, and cheapness must be admitted.
Then, through these half-made and mar
TWO EVENING TOILETS, B<
velously effective costumes, the unknown
(lungers of the dressmaker are avoided. The
iobe skirt is trimmed and completed up to
putting on the band and the body is marked
out for sewing, so no adventuring is done.
And lest the dressmaker might go astray?
til women are not gifted in the mechanics
of dress?ask always for the painted model
which goes with the boxed robe frock.
Other pretty and inexpensive robe gowns
suitable for festive evening wear are of
plain net threaded with gilt and sliver.
Simple designs in these are quite cheap,
but. of course, the moment the tulle or net
costume takes to elaborate tinsel embroid
eries it is a thing for courts as far as price
is concerned. Some of the nets In deep
tints, curious coppery reds and strange
electric blues and greens are spangled with
sequins in the same shades. These are high

ly effective under gaslight, and since (owns
in such colors and materials are without
I other trimmings than plain tulles In the
same tints, they have as well something of
an Impish look.
Silk Point d'Esprlt.
A frock of fragile white silk point d'esprlt
Incrusted with a fairy lace showed a return
to the gilt spangles of the long ago. These
firefly trimmings, whose little sparks would
glorify the meanest gauze, have long played
important parts in the dress of beauty.
Marie Antoinette wore them, and Mme. de
Remusat chronicles a dress of Josephine's
so decked?rose-colored tulle with silver
spangles?that turned all the heads of Paris.
Whether the gown of the present day will
be worn Vith a wreath of diamond wheat
ears as was Josephine's cannot be told. But
it was lovely enough for such a coronet,
and the spangles, which were very small
and put far apart, went over both gown
and lace inserts, creating a charming unity
between costume and trimming. Not an
end of any sort fluttered anywhere, the cos
tume fitting the figure with the simple se
verity of an untrimrned lace slip.
Other evening gowns seem fluttered all
over. Some delightful little toilets of ribbon
and chenille-trimmed nets and mulls were
frilled, flounced and sashed to the top notch.
Shaped flounces, elaborately deep, formed
the filmy elbow sleeves of mora than one
diaphanous frock. Spanish skirt flounces
were put on with rows of shirring, and the
same motive also formed the tops of other
sleeves and appeared around the busts of
bodices.
Effective Crepes.
Some clinging and strikingly effective
crepe gowns had their sashes made of the
same material or chiffon. Other frocks, and
especially those In the tinted silk mulls for
very youthful wearers, were sashed and
boned with pompadour ribbons, whose gar
lands, bouquets or stripes ran over back
grounds in the gown tints.
A dainty dance get-up, suitable for a
school girl of blonde or pale brunette color
ing, was a simply frilled frock of tucked
white organdy mounted on coarse Swiss.
The sash and bodice knots were of the new
tr.ffeta ribbon in a vivid coral pink, and the
red-haired girl who wore it sported coral
jewelry besides.
To get at the heart of this matter, the Im
portant thing is to have the Christmas
dance frock as becoming and pretty as pos
sible. Any white or palely tinted material
which admits of transparent effects is al
ways a good choice, and a delicately flow
ered sik is equally charming. For the rest,
the lines of the selected model should suit
the wearer's type?frills and furbelows for
thin maids and straight sweeping effects
for stout ones. Flat figures may also be
improved with voluminous fichus, and the
too prominent bust disguised by simply
keeping the front bodice line straight.
Plenty Ribbons.
If laces cannot be afforded, remember that
all the simpler evening materials lend them
selves delightfully to ribbon garnishing,
and never was the ribbon supply more va
ried than now. The uses of the narrowed
sorts are manifold. If patterned and an
inch wide, they are frequently employed in
loose garland festoons, held up with
rosettes. Straight rows are seen on other
frocks, or the only ribbon used may be a
very elaborate one which will be put on in
a limited quantity?say for the sash, a sin
gle bodice knot and a hair bow. This
whatever the pattern of the ribbon may be'
is a mere loop and end of sophisticated
creases.
The finger manipulation of ail ribbons
has reached a point of artistic beauty that
adds much to their value. Those of the
new tape variety are tied and bunched and
Knotted Into the semblance of butterflies
and flowers, and in such shapes are formed
into sprays for bodices and coiffures.
Especially with veiling materials are the
ribbons so treated charming. The newest
of these textures, which will be much used
,?Verii"? wear- clo*ely resemble
? n ^ o.ned bareges. They are shown
in all the colors of the season, and some
sun-pleated gowns In them display the
shaded effects now the fad.
The Evening Wrap.
U he simplicity of the new evening coats
makes it possible for any girl who can man
age a sewing woman to have not only a
smart dance frock for Christmas, but a
smart evening wrap as well. A wrinkle for
the limited purse is that the shops frequent
ly sell handsome remnants of soiled white
cloth at a very low price. These may be
dyed some effective color?coral pink, pale
ij8Ta.y or ye"ow' A lace dyed saffron
would trim the first three colors, and pure
white chiffon in a scarf and inside sleeve
ruffles beautify the last.
Therefore, if you haven't your Christmas
dance finery, see about it at once. Fine
feathers add prodigiously to Christmas
cheer, and the woman who does not appre
ciate the encouraging quality of clothes
has no right to expect Cupid under the mis
tletoe.
So, here's to woman's Christmas fineries!
And may every one of her bo beautiful in
them.
Beauty Worth Winning.
From the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
True beauty in woman is more than skin
deep, it is heart deep. The man who is
ct-rable ut appreciating that variety of
beauty may cie himself to the most beau
tiful woman he can win. and he will make
no. mistake. That variety of beauty does
not fade, for it is as enduring as the soul
and the soul is Immortal. That is the
beauty which is a joy forever, and happy

PRETTY diolFFURES
CBOWN BED-GOLD HAIR WITH
GREEN LEAVES.
White Makes Its Wearer Classic and
Winsome?Other
Hints.
Written for The Erening Star by Katberlne Morton.
For Christmastlde garniture the maiden
who considers her appearance in relation
to the season chooses three colors?red,
green and white.
More properly speaking these are the
shades which predominate in the scheme of
decoration for corsage and coiffure.
Holly, mistletoe, laurel and bay give the
green; red holly berries, poinsetta and big
carnations the red, and mistletoe berries
and the costume?the "kirtle sheen"?or ita
accessories, the white.
For the beauty who is blonde and blue
eyed a wreath of holly is charming, but the
girl who chooses holly must wait until
Christmas eve, as it is unlucky to bring
It Into the house before that time.
There are two kinds of holly?the smooth
and the rough. If the wreath with which
a girl crowns herself Is of the smooth va
riety, she will be mistress of her house
hold; If it is the rough variety her hus
band will be her ruler.
For the brunette of regal type, the girl
of dash and brilliancy, there is the mystic
mistletoe.
This is the plant which always plays so
important a part in Christmas festivities,
although it was selected for decorations
long before the Christmas era. Remaining
green in winter time, its seed was supposed
to have fallen from heaven, and the plant
was therefore held sacred to the sun god.
Every greeting beneath the mistletoe was
inspired by love and friendship.
Its berries of pearl were symbols of pur
ity and associated with the rites of mar
riage. From this the transition was but
slight to the kiss beneath the cabalistic
bough. This traditional sacredness was
endured through the ages, and today for
man and maid to meet beneath the mistle
toe gives the right to a salute.
A fiat wreath or a coronation wreath of
Ivy leaves is pretty and becoming to many
faces, but ivy is objectionable to some on
account of its association with Bacchus,
the god of wine, ivy having been used at
all celebrations in his honor.
Rather Odd One.
A wreath of parsley would perhaps be
considered an odd decoration for the hair,
but in classic times it was much used for
wreaths and garlands; and it has a grace
ful effect.
A wreath of green leaves is for the hair
that is red?honestly* red?the hair that
streams out like a fleece of spun gold streak
ed with strands of copper, or hair that
blinds us with its golden glory.
For the stately wotoan, who moves a
queen, is the crown1 of laurel. Was not
Sappho crowned with laurel? Some irrever
ent person has said that Sappho was more
charming that Octavib, because she did her
hair much better.
This proves what an Important part the
coiffure plays In a woman's make-up.
"Beauty Is simply a matter of hair," if
we believe the poet; and viery well it may
be, for beautiful hair Is one of the essen
tials of feminine loveliness .and fascination,
and no other feature of a woman's beauty
has appealed so strongly to the imagina
tion of the poet or to the adoration of the
lover as the hair.
This is because beauty is greatly affected
by the way in which hair is arranged, good
points being brought out by the style of
coiffure and defects concealed.
To Suit the Face.
For example, the severity of a too promi
nent nose may be tempered by the arrange
ment of the hair, which should be parted
softly from the face and gathered grace
fully at the crown of the head. The owner
of a small nose can. with safety, wear her
hair arranged on a line with it. A round
face needs hair arranged on top of the head
By paying strict heed to all these details
beauty is made or marred. For example
the Zealand girl is called a beauty but it
Is not her bodice, her velvet shoes with sil
ver buckles, nor her ten petticoats that
make her such a picturesque figure. It is
the way she does her hair, and the co
quettish headdress she puts on.
It behooves both the plain woman and the
pretty woman to devote some serious study
to the subject of her coiffure. Just now
undulation is the last word in hair dressing' :
and graceful waves are always becoming
and softening to every style of face.
A few young girls have adopted the Re
camler coiffure. The hair is simply and
flatly drawn up and arranged with a lot of
little curls over the forehead, and In bunch
es on the top. This suits fresh young faces
with delicate features; but, indeed, if you
are young and pretty, you can wear any
thing and find it becoming, and even a
neglige stylo does not look amiss.
Both High and Low.
As yet there is no sign of the low coiffure
superseding that of the hair drawn up from
the nape of the neck, among the Parisian
elegantes. Indeed, indications point to a
revival of the celebrated 1830 coiffure. This
style shows one or two tall loops of hair
standing up boldly and importantly on the
top of the head, as you see in many charm
ing old portraits. But this style is only suit
ed to a small face, with a long, slender
| throat. The generality of faces look beat
with a more bouffant style of coiffure, with
the wreath of flowers or leaves for full
dress.
No one needs fear an exccss of decoration
for the coiffure. The garland, the half gar
land, the flower nestling in the hair just
back of the ear, and contrasting charmingly
with a snow-white neck?all these are fash
ionable and chic.
One word is to be said about the short,
stray hairs?"love locks"?at the .back of the
head, which often stand out so conspicuous
ly when the hair is otherwise well dressed,
and convert the most demure gentlewoman
into a veritable Madge Wildfire in appear
ance.
A dull gold brooch, or one of tortoise shell,
is pretty on fair hair to pin up the love
locks; and a silver clasp is better for black
hair. As already said, the style of orna
mentation must always bo suited to the
color of the tresses, be they Titian-hued,
raven, blue-black or blond.
Haying settled the arrangement of coif
fure in reference to the style of beauty, the
color of the gown is the next consideration.
The Classic White.
For Christmas festivities let a girl choose
white, white which graduates from a frosty
shade to a creamy ivory. White always
makes a woman look classic and winsome,
and the color never had h greater vogue
than at present, owing to the fashion set by
Queen Helena of Italy.
For the Christmas cotillion, with Its pic
turesque figures, in whiiHi Belly, laurel, bay
and mistletoe play imi?o#tant parts, that
girl is the most attractive who arrays lier
Eelf in a diaphanous gown of white. In one
figure of the dance, perhaps, she has a half
wreath of holly, which she raises over her
head when a partner is chosen; if he is re
jected it is lowered. A Christmas tree is
placed in the center of the room for this
figure of the cotillion, and holly wreaths, or
half wreaths, bright with berries, hung on
it. Each cavalier brings a lady to the Christ
mas tree to select a wreath.
For another figure of the Christmas cotil
lion a huge holly ball is prepared with tufts
of mistletoe and sprigs of well berried holly.
This ball can easily be hung in the opening
of a door or archway, or It can be made to
answer the purpose of a maypole, by hang
ing It to a swivel fixed to a hook in the
center of a large room. If colored riboons,
red, white and green, are attached, a
charmingly picturesque figure can be ar
ranged.
Useful Suggestions.
If you want to reduce your flesh you
must have the fortitude to give up u uum
ber of the pleasant things of life for a
time at least, and many of them for good
and all. Tou must first of all become an
early riser, and not sleep longer than seven
hours. Before finishing the morning toilet
exercise for twenty minutes with Indian
clubs, dumb-bells or wands. For break
fast take no cereal, coffee or milk, but
tea, not too strong, fruit and toast. Sugar
is a fat producer, so also Is bread and all
farinaceous dishes. Not more than half
a glass of liquid should be taken at any
meal. For luncheon partake of stewed or
raw fruit, a salad dressed with vinegar and
oil, green vegetables and a chop. For din
ner the bill of fare can comprise fish, mut
ton, lamb, lean beef, vegetables, especially
tomatoes and beans, stale bread and a
light desert.
A powder good to use after a bath on
arms and neck Is made of:
Starch % lb.
Orris root 2 ozs.
Camphor % dr.
JSach ingredient must be first well pow
dered, then thoroughly mixed and sifted
through a coarse muslin bag. Keep in a
fine muslin bag or in the powder box.
Kerosene Is recommended by some au
thorities, but there are other things which
will make the hair grow quite as well or
better. For example, a tonic containing
tincture of oantharldes, which Is found in
nearly. If not all, good hair tonics. One
dram of the cantharides and one ounce of
castor oil in a pint of bay rum or alcohol
make as good a tonic as any one would
wish. If you want it perfumed add about
ten drops of oil of bergamot or oil of
lemon, whichever you prefer. Keep the
bottle well corked, and always shake be
fore using.
For hard and wrinkled hands, massage
them with an emollient, which Is better
than a lotion. The following Is one of the
best for the purpose:
Cocoanut oil p, ozs
Lanolin 2 ozs".
Glycerine 2 ozs
Tincture of tolu % oz.
Tincture of benzoin.- so drops.
Put the cocoanut on, glycerine and lan
olin in a> double boiler. When thoroughly
melted and mixed, add the tinctures, drop
by drop. Rub some of this on the hands
every night. Rub it in thoroughly, de
voting some ten or fifteen minutes to the
process. Draw on a pair of loose, clean
gloves for the night.
The burning of the face and nose when
y? j ??. OUt in the co,(1 is very .unpleasant,
and it is not easy to find a remedy for the
trouble. Here are some "don'ts" Don't
wash your face oftener than once a day.
Too much water on the face dries up the
natural oil. and makes the skin inclined to
.chap. Cleanse the face with a little cold
cream during the day, if necessary. Wear
* Y,'? 'f winds are high, and keep your
mouth closed when outdoors.
The blotchy appearance of your skin,
which is such an affliction to you, will yield
with ,^eatment of brisk rubbing, together
w>? the use of a lotion made of:
2.Iive oil 1-2 Dint
Tincture of benzoin 1_2 oz.
Tincture of myrrh x drops.
Rub the face carefully with a flesh mitten
and then massage with the lotion.
For the arm movements which can be
used in connection with a breathing
exercise there is what is called the
side sweep arm exercise. For this
stand erect, with the arms at the
sides, then lift them up vertically, in
flating the lungs as the arms ascend. With
the arms in vertical position, raise up on
the tiptoes, and throw the head back, touch
ing at the same time the backs of the hands
overhead. As the arms slowly descend ex
hale. For the front sweep. Inflate the lungs
as the arms are brought to a vertical posi
tion, look up and raise on tiptoes, keep the
elbows straight, and touch the thumbs
when the arms are raised above the head.
Exhale as the hands are returned to the
sides. Raise the arms in front of the body,
with the hands relaxed, and the -back of the
wrists upward. Then raise them above the
head, bring them back and downward to
the side, then up above the head again.
Don't make these movements in a jerky,
awkward manner, but slowly and har
moniously.
A dumb-bell for a child should not weigh
more than 2*4 pounds; for the use of girls
and women it may weigh about 3 pounds.
Only an uncommonly strong person should
use a dumb-bell of 6 pounds weight. Men
and boys use those of from 4 1-2 to 5 1-2
pounds.
"Five rules of life," that will make a wo
man healthy, if not wise and wealthy:
No. 1.?Take plenty of exercise.
No. 2.?Eat plain food moderately.
No. 3.?Go to bed as early as possible.
No. 4.?Avoid stimulants.
No. 5.?Live with regularity. *
You can help out a freckled face with
lotions and powders, but you can't make
your beauty permanent that way. If you
really want to have a fine color, a fine fig
ure, a fine digestion, and be fair to look
upon, try these rules and see what they will
do for you.

Southern Plum Pudding.?This pudding
differs much from the time-honored English
one. In that It is steamed In a mold instead
of boiled In a cloth or bag, and is somewhat
more digestible, while not a whit less
toothsome. The recipe given here, which
was secured from a Virginian, will be
found sufficient for fourteen persons, and
can either be cooked in one large mold, or,
if desired, the mixture placed in smaller
ones. It will keep well and Indefinitely,
and, like fruit cake, is Improved by age
If the family be small it la well to use ihe
small molds, and to reheat as required.
Weigh one pound of raisins, one pound of
currants, one pound of suet, half pound of
citron, one pound of grated bread and half
pound of brown sugar. Stone and chop
the raisins, clean and dry the currants,
chop the suet fine, sprinkling with a little
flour, and cut the citron into thin strips.
Measure one even teaspoonful each of ground
cinnamon and nutmeg and half teaspoonful
each of cloves and allspice. Put all the
fruits Into a bowl and mix tightly with a
handful of flour. Add the sugar and spices,
the chopped suet and the bread, and mix all
thoroughly. Beat eight eggs until very light
and mix them with half pint of brandy.
Pour Into the fruit mixture and stir untii
well blended. Pack in a greasted mold and
steam for six hours. Turn out of the mold
and decorate with blanded and split al
monds. For Christmas day stick a sprig
of holly In the top and place lumps of
sugar saturated with brandy on the dish
thus encircling the pudding. Ignite these
and send to the table surrounded by flames.
Serve with brandy sauce.
French Glace Plum Pudding.?One of the
most delicious varixtions of the Christmas
