There are an; number of flat crepe- w , whl) e velvets, moim and taffetas are used, such obi reliables as satins “m chiffon* have the smarten sort of sponsors. ' a ” ThP ready acceptance of wool crepe presents one of the season s luda m „ n ts. It remains true that Paris applauds sheer w .<dens and encourages their use for all purposes for which ’

they could possibly be chosen. Indeed this class of material pre(tents something of a thorn in the flesh to the silk industry since it recognizes iu its newness and wearability a formidable rival to silk. There are attractive silks, manv of them patterned in the new leaf designs in unusual color combinations. Certain couturiers sponsor necktie prints, others closely massed flowers in small quaint patterns. While printed taffeta and chiffons are used in moderation for evening, one has the feeling that Paris feels the wisdom of holding back printed fabrics until Spring, or the Winter resort season now at hand. SANTA CLAUS DISTRIBUTES GIFTS Eleven children and fourteen members of the Jjoyal Daughters class of the Evangelical Sunday school were delightfully entertained at a Christmas party, last evening, at which Mrs. Inez Weber was hostess. The home was attractively decorated in Christmas decorations, and a large decorated and beautifully lighted tree furnished a very pretty and pleasing es feet. A delicious pot-luck supper was partaken of after which a social time ; of games was enjoyed. While games ' were being played, Santa Claus appeared bearing three large baskets filled with gifts. One contained the gifts for the little children’s exchange, another, the exchange gifts for the ladies, and the third contained a lovely gift for each member of the class, presented by the teacher. Mrs. George Sprague. The ladies of the class in a very pleasing manner presented the teacher wish a very pretty console set.
