WOMEN CAPTURE ANOTHER MASCULINE INSTITUTIOM

Boots, Cossack, or What Ha ve You, Adorn Feminine Feet —Chinchilla, More Exclusive Than Ermine, Comes Out of Hiding. By Betsy Schuyler SEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 31. —Having stolen and adapted for their particular needs, man’s knickers, his sweat shirts, and his pajamas, women are now pouncing with glee upon his boots.

Whether this la Soviet propaganda in disguise or something less ominous, I know not, but apparently women are going Cossack as fast and as far as boots will carry them. 1 have seen the most dashing black boots with red heels and cuffs, os well as all red and all blue ones. But the most traffic-endanger-ing pair were of snakeskln with cuffs of patent leather. With short skirts, the boot is logical, at least, and Is a challenge to the conventional and ordinary. And how tortoise shell is creeping upon us In the slow, steady fashion of Its original manufacturer! The smartest hats now have tortoise Shell pins or buckles and I have Seon attractive brooches of tortoise, to say nothing of shoe buckles and clgaret cases. Ch'ncllla Out Again And where have all the chinchillas been hiding these many years, for suddenly there seems to be all of this super-expensive fur that anyone wants—or is able to buy. On my last visit to the opera I couldn’t help noticing the number of chinchilla and chinchilla-trimmed wraps there were parading up anad down the foyer. After all, if nine out of every ten women own an ermine wrap, the exclusives have to go one better. And before I become specific and get down to cases on clothes, let me just remark on the number of embroidered hats I have seen within the past week. If yon want a'change from felt, you can have it. Quite the prettiest clothes I have seen lately turned out for the Kauf-man-Biddle wedding. Naturally the bride, Joan Kaufman, had no alternative, but white satin, old lace and pearls, but the two little flower girls were adorable in costumes copied from Ga.nsborough’s "Pinkie.” Those adorable children wore frocks of apricot chiffon over pink satin slips with sashes and hats of apricot velvet, and carried tiny baskets of apricot colored rosebuds. The bridesimids wore period costumes alternating in hydrangea blue and orchid velvet with underslips, of tulle, banded with silver lace, and each maid carried a small marabou i .if 17 with a cluster of orchids. The matron of honor, Mrs. Crawford lull wore apple green velvet with gold and silver lace. It was a triumphant entry into St. Thomas’s. Muff Is Growing I've been warning you already aboui the muff. It Is upon us, and growing, I might add, in stature. I saw Betty Nixon carrying a very good-sized one of squirrel that' matched her squirrel coat. It seenr a courtesy to your fur coat to match it in your muff. New York is all excited about that gorgeous creature from Paris, Yvonne Printemps, an actress herself and the wife of Sascha Guitry, the dramatist. When she came down the gangplank of the Leviathan she was wearing a white kasha coat trimmed with civet cat, and queerly enough she wore high laced shoes of w-htte buckskin, with facings of black patent leather. With them she wore white hose. She is lovely enough to get away with anything, but her feet did remind me of tho late Sadie Thompson in “Rain.” She brought with her a gorgeous wardrobe created for her by Lanvin, gowns that are visions of femininity. Most of them are white, and all her day clothes are decidedly on the sport order. I saw a perfectly adorable outfit at the opening of ‘Oh, Please.” It was of white voile with cross tucking, with a prim little ribbon girdle In which was a nice luscious bunch of cherries. The hat, which accompanied it, was a wide-brimmed affair of white leghorn, banded with red satin, and more nice Early Richmonds falling off the brim. Cherries are so ridiculously youthful—and so effective. Orange and Gold Beatrice Lillie, the star, wore lovely gowns. One negligee of gold cloth, with wing draperies of orange colored georgette, particularly appealed to me. Lunching at Pierre’s I saw Edith Jaffray in a blouse of white georgette brocaded in gold, with a black velvet skirt and a black velvet turban, very exotic and Oriental. I saw Mrs. Prank Vanderllp in a black chiffon outfit with brilliantly colored flowers scattered over the surface, worn with a subdued black velvet coat modestly collard in chinchilla. I just caught a glimpse of the piquant Billie Burke in a mink coat, her glorious red hair concealed under a tiny hat of blue felt. She is always pleasant to look at in these days when so few women take the trouble to look feminine. I never remember of seeing Eleanor Alexander look more fetching than she did the other day on the avenue In a black fur coat and a brimless little hat with a big butterfly In' front. She was with Gwendoly Talbot in a coat with godets of fur. SANDALWOOD Sandalwood is used in ring and handkerchief boxes, and for the sticks of fans. Its delicate fragrance has made it extremely popular among women who dislike ordinary perfumes.

Pay Him and Let Him Go —By Mrs. Waiter Ferguson

There seems no good reaon why the Count Ludwig Von Salm, etc., should not get his alimony. Most folks speak with disdain about this ambitious young man who came over here and succeeded in marrying one of the richest American heiresses, but outside of his aversion for labor he seems all right. After he had regaled us with syndicated articles about his love affair, from which we can wager he made a pretty penny, the count married his sweetheart and took her back home, as all good counts have ever done. Later the wife came back to America and wishes now to remain here, keeping her son with her. Also she would like very much for her exhusband to go back to his native land and give up all claims to his child. Naturally the deserted young neb'e ins sts upon taking with him a large bank roll. he.., aumony is alimony. In plainest terms, it simply means that the well-to-do must look after the dependent. Most American heiresses who have married foreign aristocrats have had to look after their husbands financially. Nobility in exchange for dollars has long been the regular procedure in our foreign matrimonial relations. No American girl can expect to marry a count without paying well for the privilege. It Is always cheaper to take a plain citizen of the United States. Then you stand some chance of getting alimony out of him. whereas with foreigners you nearly always have to provide It yourself. And sure y in these degenerate days when titled • nobles are becoming scarcer and scarcer, any count Is worthy of his alimony. The wisest thing for the countess to do in this case, It would seem, is to pay off her husband and let him Jgo back to Europe. In this way she will be ridding herself of what now appears something of a nuisance, and will also be paving the way for some other American girl to provide herself with a noble husband. Count Ludwig may live without labor, to wliich he Is constitution/ ally opposed, for the rest of his days/ and at the same time be a fascinating lure for fond and ambitious American mamas. IVe might as well be generous and pass the counts around. ,

Household Suggestions

CRYSTAL AND SILVER Holiday gowns suggesting icicles are of white chiffon embroidered in silver and crystal. There is no touch of color. BRONZE BUCKLES Bronze buckles for shoes of every shade of tan are smarter this season than silver or leather. * 1.., FRAGILE BLONDE The pale, fragile blonde will enhance her delicacy by wearing gowns of black lace or black net, provided her color is not sallow.
