COSTUME OF BLACK VELVET

, ivrvr1 -- off? Passed as correct by the board of national fashion censors, this charmIng restaurant costume of black velvet and mole, from the shoes to the becoming black hat has been given the final stamp of approval. . , . FOR NEXT SEASON'S-DRESSES Gorgeous Materials for Spring and Summer Wear Are Arriving Krom Europe. From Europe there come samples of gorgeous materials destined for the spring anil summer dresses. They have embroidered fabrics thut quite take one's brenth away because of the Intricacy of the work they display. The eyelet work Is very popular with the French, and they have produced more than one material which shows this sort of embroidery used In an allover pattern of borders that are designed to be used as trimming for the prospective gown. They embroider on silk, on chiffon, on taffeta and on a variety of other allied fabrics. They have a voile that has an allover pattern done In thread work running over Its entire surface. This allows so great a variety of color combinations that It cannot help but meet with favor. There Is another Imported voile In white with a pattern in black made up of squares and dots embroidered on Its surface. The French are also showing materials with embroidered designs. They have what they call a sponge cloth which Is embroidered In this manner and which Is used both for skirts and for "the trimming of bodices that go with them. Though georgette has been said to have passed from favor, there are still to be seen, both here and abroad, many weaves of georgettes done with stripes and pattern and certain brocaded designs. These have the charm of novelty and for that reason they will probably win a placi for themselves among the favorite materials of the season. SOFT SILK GOWNS ARE WORN Heavy Clinging Fabric That Fallt Int Long, Graceful Lines, Much In Evidence. Gowns made of soft, heavy clinging 6llks that fall Into long, graceful lines are much In evidence. These fawns are embroidered with Jet, chenille beads or trimmed with lace, but the appeal of the gown lies in the drapery and the fabric Satin, too. Is high In favor with the designers, because it combines so beautifully with serge, tricotlnes and the other woolens and the sheer stuffs so well. Satin is equally at its best In evening gowns and wraps, though when the lights are brightest the lame materials will prove a serious rival. TnU season it Is the glitter of gold rather than silver we prefer. Broadcloth Is considered en mod. It Is not out of place upon the ballroom floor and occasionally it develops madam's evening gown, although at the. usual thing It Is requisitioned for the afternoon frock.

The next William Fox picture starring that virile actor, William Farnum is "The Scuttlers," said to be an intensely dramatic story of the sea, in which Farnum plays the role of a detective assigned by Lloyds to run down a sea captain who is believed So long as sentimentalists and tender-hearted , reformers make It easier for a criminal to get his living by robbing stores nryl banks instead of making twine or breaking rocks, there will be burglaries. The announcement that Rurbank has added a nw nut to the world will cause no excitement nowadays. It sevms to us that there must be a new variety of nut born every minute.

PARTNERS OF fATE' What is radiant Louise Lovely discussing1 with her leading man, William Scott, in this scene from "Partners of Fate?" Dollars to doughnuts it's love they are talking about.

Funny as were "The Husband Hunter and "Beware of the Bride," it is said that she has surpassed all previous comedy efforts in "The Land of Jazz," her latest mirthmaker, directed by Jules G. Furthman. Miss Percy's fame lies in her beauty as well in her talent for comedy drama. T1m people of the United States are like those of other nations in one respect, viz., they must learn that the only way to get out of the hole into which war plunges humanity is to dig out in sorrow, pain and tears. The notion that war is a great producer of luxury and wealth Is pure bunk. Well, well ! A New York sporting writer says of these millionaire purses for prize fights: "It's a fairy tale pure and simple. I believe these ridiculous figures are tossed alout carelessly for advertising purposes." Bunk figures? Not real money? The fellow must be crazy. History must, In all fairness, accord Wilhelm Hohenzollern recognition as one of the world's most competent and prominent wood sawyers. His recent career Is one which his advisers should 'persuade him not to abandon without considerable reflection. Good Ironing Surface. To make an ironing board on which It is a Joy to Iron, take one roll Qf cotton batting such as Is used for comforts and puffs. Spread the cotton batting evenly over the board and fasten over this a cover made from unbleached muslin, tacking It down around the sides of the board. An extra length of muslin or unbleached cottn which can easily be washed should be used as an outer cover. A Dye. To dye a bit of ribbon, raffia or thread quickly, mix some oil paint with enough gasoline to wet thi article. When the desired shade Is acquired, dip the goods and it will have a "never fade" oil color.

Now and again the goat butts into public attention as the benefactor of mankind, only to disappear after a few encomiums from the doctors and the food experts. Whether our methods of quantity production and centralnHnn nnr lMm,Hhllltr f . v.., VU IMVVUII'UIIUIIIIJ Vk VA1 per with the goat, our general habitnation to the cow and Cfov's milk, aref th reasons Is not rlear. At nnv rti. I the goat finds-mall place in American society. Thtse who have seen goats domiciled in the cro.vded alleys of Europe, stabled comfortably in anything from a dry goods bor to the fpare bedroom, know that the goat is hardy and long-suffering, and two quarts of goat's milk a day give health and vigor to many a poor family. Though dwellers In flat buildings might encounter difficulties in raising goats, others who have no facilities to finance and operate a "cow might easily undertake goat culture. The goat is non-tubercular and safe and the milk excels as food. The erenm U emulsified and does not rise to the tu f ..f Is trifling. In. fome circumstances the benefits are large. TEACHER. The world moves,. and though it still serves the cartoonist's turn to present "Teacher" in a light that is not at all a halo, teacher really doesn't answer to the old picture any more. The unromantic truth is that lots of teacheTs never did. We remember some live senior high school girls 'in a class of perhaps ten or twelve who were all going to be Latin teachers. A phenomenon like that calls for explanation. And the explanation was their Latin teacher. Those girls didn't want to teach Latin ; they wanted to be like their Latin teacher. And she she wasn't young, she wasn't heaven forgive5 us for saying so pretty, and she didn't pack a bag of tricks, says Milwaukee Journal. She had something worth while, though, didn't she? Call it character or personality or what you will, those girls wanted "to; be like her. And though none of them ever turned out a Latin teacher, every on of them was better for that teacher they had -admired and loved. It is a mark to shoot at, isn't it? . England always prided herself upon her intimate relations with the (Julf stream. It was thought that the current left the sunny shores of distant lands to wrap the British Isles in a warm embrace, bringing with it not only a warmer atmosphere, but trophies in the form of shells from the tropics to ornament the beaches of Britain. The faith of the BritNh in this direction is being shaken. Weathtr prophets who have been unable to account for the uncertain atmospheric conditions have been looking for a scapegoat for some months, and at last have pitched upon the Gulf stream as the delinquent. It is reported that ships have failed to find it in the ocean, and the west wind is no longer influenced by It. If the old and trusty friend, the Gulf stream. Is going to Join the strikers, theo England Indeed will feel this the unkindest cut of all.

FASHION FADS AND FANCIES Flatted tunics and panels are details for fall. As the fall season progresses, It Is predicted that the yard veiling, will be used more and more. The collars of the new suits are high and small, and In many caes are made simply of n hand of fur. The leading fabrics for. coats and suits are duvetyn, velours; bolivias and a number of new wool fabrics In pile effect. . Ikits and pockets in the new suits are conspicuous by their absence

j Where pockets are present they aro mere silts with no trimming whatever. Veilings will hold an Important place In millinery fashions, especially In the fall season. Kxqoislte lace veils will J bo revived and In many cases they will I be used for the entire ornamentation of the hat. I In many of the more elaborate 'draped veils, embroideries In metal ' and rich colors will be popular. French blue, henna, Jade, hellotroi and orI ange are some of the unusual shades I which will be featured, j Satin Is the favorite among silks for afternoon wear.

Or VJdV. The secretary of agriculture figures ih er" ot ,,,c var 1020 at 18'wi rtV""-1 i- - .ü,7i7,übM,üüü. This makes a grand total of more than twenty-two billion dollars. He estimates that the price slump has caused a loss in value of about $3,000,000,000 in the crops, and .000.000 in the animal products as compared with last year or a shrink age of about 1." per cent. It must seem to the man with live stock or grain to sell that the shrinkage is much greater than that, though it should be , takeu into consideration that the production of 1020 was much larger than i that of 1010, in volume, and that. '""'for''' "'-' rt'al shrinkage in value I Is ETcater than T per cent. Taken at its worst, however, the twenty-two. billion dollars' worth of farm stuff for the year represents almost boundless wealth in the aggregate. No matter' how much resentment we feel at falling prices and loss of profits, our business of farming still remains the eon n try's main business, says Farm Life. And . how much better it Is to have our national granaries full of cheap products .than it would be to have them .nearly empty, no matter hnw high the price might be! There are two ways of looking at everything. -Even the horrors of war become sanctified and ennobled by the heroism and self-sacrifice of our men. A Bed Cross hospital ward was, as I have known It, one of the serenest, almost one of the happiest places on earth, writes Agnes Egerton In London. There was such sweet patience, nay, such genuine cheerfulness on the part of the wounded, and such devotion and love on the part of the nurses! It would be a tragic and riteous thing if a world at peace were to do away with beauty which a world In conflict yt retained. What -is wrong with us now is that we have lost our grip of the real meaning of life. A certain gross materialism seems to have laid hold of the minds of many. Now materialism Is at once the ugliest and the saddest form of ethics that It is possible to imagine. It Is the mark of the beast; it is the breath of the "spirit that ever denies" according to Goethe's wonderful definition of Mephistopheles. The death of "Deadwood Dick," the hero of the kids of our generation, is nported from California. Not long :igo his contemporary and friend, "Calamity Jan," passed away. Of course, they didn't do the things the stories said they did, but they gave the boys of the late seventies the thrilliest thrills the Juvenile heart ever knew. The death of this nun recall that the two loftiest ambltb t .if i.t-r boyhood were never realized, the : to be a stage robber and the other tbe the proprietor of a grocery More.
