Tai anahliabed Kaarly Twenty Tear» Ago IN DUPED EFFECT Improvement on Ultra-Decollete Dresses Is Manifest. Dinner Gowns Cling at Horn, While They Are Full Over the Hip«. It Is very interesting, writes a Paris fashion correspondent, to note what Worth is doing with regard to eve ning dresses this season. This mai son has always been celebrated for its gorgeous dinner gowns and toilettes fpr ceremonious occasions. It Is not here that one looks for eccentric mod els nor for sensational displays, but Worth sets the styles for women of refined taste, and so It is necessary to look closely at what he designs. This season he is shoving very love ly dinner gowns which have a draped effect. Several of his best models seem to cling at the hem while they are full over the hips. In some cases there Is a distinct train, cut In with the dress Itself. This Is a welcome Innovation, and one which likely will prove very popu lar. For a long time past nearly all our evening trains have been separate from the dress—arranged in scarf fashion and often in twin-form—one at either side. Or we have had court trains—these chiefly for wedding dresses. But it is evident that Worth intends to revive genuine trains, cut with the dress and forming part of It Trains Of this order are specially suitable for matrons or for women of full figure. The picturesque scarf train is also much In evidence, but It will no longer be considered the only possible. One model represents some of the latest ideas of the Maison Worth: ex quisite materials skillfully manipulai Worth Robe de Bai In Blue and Silver Lame. Pages Cape of Silver Lace Bordered With Black Fox. ed; a gorgeous simplicity wedded to extravagance of detail. The corsage of this model is worthy of close attention; this Is the latest thing and it is a great improvement upon the ultra-decollete dresses we havè had with us so long. Rosettes of Malines. Little choux or rosettes of malines are added to'one or both shoulders of some of the newer evening dresses. Tiny bouquets of flowers or small feathers are used In the same way. SOME OF THE LIKED COLORS Chow and Blonde Are Shades Now Meeting With Favor In Latest Wearing Apparel. Chow is a color you cannot help but like and you need hardly be told that it is that rich red brown one sees in the coat of a thoroughbred chow dog. It recently made Its debut In the smart shops In a collection of polo coats and wraps made of chow colored camel's hair cloth. Blonde is a color that Is meeting with favor. It is hard to describe, but if you think that It is the color of blonde hair you are quite off the track. It is, on the contrary, a sort of drab dull shade of tan. In net or chiffon It suggests a spider web or cobweb as much as anything—gray, in a way, but browner than the usuaj gray. NEW CHECKED SILK TAFFETAS Garment Is Made Up In Quaint Style With Snugly Draped Bodice and Full Tunic. The new checked silk taffetas are made up In a variety of ways, among which is a quaint frock with snugly draped bodice and a full tunic edged with frayed ruffles of the material and puffed at the hips. Another pretty dress in brown check taffeta is made with a finely plaited skirt The full skirt and tunic on some of the dresses are trimmed with cording. For instance, a navy blue taffeta dress has many rows of cording at the hips and around the lower edge of the wide tunic. Pin tucks, finely grouped, pra STEAMER OR MOTOR WRAP. A steamer or mptor wrap of black and white plaid Is trimmed with black and fringed at every good opportunity. HAT SHOULD SUIT THE FACE Woman Who Has Passed Prime Knows There Is Certain Type She Should Wear. "The vintage of 1907," a teacher said the other day In referring to her hat, which some one had been admir ing for, having bought a good hàt in that far-off time, she has It renovated and renewed every winter. One merit that the hat possesses Is that it fits and suits her style, for It becomes more and more difficult for women who have passed their first youth to find hats that are "suited" to them. A favorite milliner makes the same hat over year after year and, while It nev er loses Its look of smartness. It is not In the style. But the woman who has passed her prime knows that there Is a certain kind of hat that she must wear. Mrs. Harding Is said to have adopted almost exclusively the trlcon shape, whick is a very good hat for a woman of her age. One will find that the best-dressed women are those who wear hats that are becoming to them and do not trouble about the latest fashion. The milliner who re alizes this will not try to persuade the tvoman of middle age to wear any of the "stylish" shapes. Can one con ceive of anything more pathetic than a woman of middle age with a tam-o' shanter perched coquettlshly upon her hair, unless It happens that the "tam" Is the only style that Is really becom ing to her? Decorative and Useful. Unusually attractive is a set of boudoir candlesticks of blue iris and rose iris heavy glass. Candles can be obtained to match these. Bud vases to hold a single flower can also be pur chased of the colored glass and would make Inexpensive dressing table ac cessories. An Attractive Veil. An attractive new veil Is a fine, plain mesh, with lavish embroidery on the part which Is arranged over the hat It is worn with a plain hat vide a decorative touch for a dress of navy taffeta, with straight hanging bodice and full skirt, in which the tucks appear as vertical stripes. There is no belt, but the fullness Is tied at the sides. The three-quar ter sleeves are finished with a puff of the material over an undersleeve of cream lace. A brown checked taffeta dress made with a long draped bodice and circular tunic has a circular cuff on the sleeves, with a facing of emerald green to match the facing of the col lar. Eyelet embroidery In silk is used to trim some of the taffeta dressés. One striped taffeta Is made In chemise style belted with a wide girdle of chamois skin, on which narrow red and black ribbons are appllqued. Ostrich Toque. The lovely ostrich toques are quite bewitching when worn over a young face. They are covered with ostrich, the flues almost uncurled, quite soft and fluffy in appearance. They are especially pretty in gray. Pretty Pincushion. A pretty pincushion Is barrel shaped. The cover Is made of a large piece of satin ribbon and Is filled with wadding. It Is trimmed with stained fruit and ribbon at each end. A nar row ribbon is used to suspend It. Fashionable Lines. Long lines, tight sleeves, high col lars, three-quarter length beltless coats, skirts with narrow hems and of a length suited to- the individual are some of the new features of the winter coMumes. ON 'GUARD AGAINST FORGERS Men of Money Devise Secret Signa Which Inform Bank Cashiers That Checks Are Genuine. So clever is the modern forger that the man who "relies on a signature which is hard to copy Is liable at any moment to find himself victimized and his account depleted. In order to prevent the successful uttering of a forged eheck, several men hate hit upon devices Which even the smartest criminal could hardly de tect. For instance, there Is an American millionaire who makes a tiny blot oh some part of the check as à "sign to the bank cashier that it is genuine. Not one forger in a thousand would at tribute a blot to anything but care lessness, and quite a number of would be swindlers have found themselves pulled up sharply on presenting an unblo(ted check over the counter. Another man has hit upon the idea of ' apparently making a mistake in the date in the right-hand top cor ner of the check, which mistake is rectified by. the crossing out of the wrong numeral and the substitution of the correct one. The check forger would hardly regard such an appar ent blunder as the result of deliberate Intention. A Frenchman with whom this sub ject was discussed stated that his own method Is an almost infallible one. Whenever he writes a check, he takes the precaution of 'tearing It out of his check book in such a manner that a tiny shred of the counterfoil remains attached to the draft. This is an in timation to the bank that the check is genuine. Perhaps, however, the most extraor dinary device Is that adopted by a wary Hebrew. He makes a point of carefully perfuming every check bear ing his signature with a certain scent which is very difficult to obtain. Johnson's Tour of 1866. Johnson's "Swing 'round the Circle" was an expression frequently to be met with in the fall of 1866, and was ap plied to a speech-making tour made by President Johnson about that time. President Johnson laft Washington August 28, 1866, in compliance with a request that he would lay the corner stone of a monument to be erected to Stephen A. Douglas, in Chicago, September 6. He was attended by. a distinguished party, including several members of his cabinet. General Grant and Admiral Farragut also were in the party. The route was by way of Philadelphia, New York and Albany. In one of his speeches the president referred to himself as one having "swung around the entire circle" of public service, from alderman to presi dent. The phrase "took" with news paper reporters, and so came to be generally applied to his tour. John son's welcome was mixed, for pas sions ran high in those times. The general attitude was, howeVer, cour teous, and even cordial. In this re spect St. Louis contrasted very favor ably with some 'other large cities. Cleveland, Chicago and Springfield had extended to him no official recog nition, while at Indianapolis he was hooted. On the whole, Johnson's tour did not strengthen his position in the country, serving, as it did, but to in tensify the fury of the opposition.— Kansas City Star. • Tasmania's Artesian Water. The dry season experienced In Tas mania last summer caused the state government to examine the county known as the Midlands for artesian water. The area surveyed was ap proximately 500 square miles. The investigation has shown that there is no artesian water in the Midlands, but that there exist definite sub-ar tesian basins from which appreciable quantities of water of very fair qual ity may be drawn. The Investigation, the first of its kind in Tasmania, will make a valuable asset of the Midlands, and will furnish data from which val uable conclusions can be drawn as to the conditions affecting irrigation. Soldiers Make Money on Rats. Inducements in the way of bounties are offered to the French soldiers to Induce thèm to hunt the rats which In fest the barracks. The bounty takes the form of money considerations and an increased allowance of wine. One man obtained a release from duty for a few days and spent the nights in hunting the rodents, and his success was so great that one man from each company was assigned to the same duty and the results of these assaults was astonishing. / Studenta Compete With Profiteers.
