I J ig*3B 1 ABOUT the first thing thKvacarionist who is fancywork does, when she returns thome, is to scout the stores and specialty shops to find out “what’s new’’ in handcraft and needlework. It is a well-known fact among women who are interested in pretty thing® that can be made at home, that trends run in cycles or waves. Well, the waveline which the fancywork movement is tuning in on this season is embroidered or hand-stitched pictures. If you are a “needle artist” and have not already yielded to the lure •of crepe-twist embroidered pictures, it is safe to say that the time will not be tong ere you will be joining the army of eager workers who are ■enthusiastically plying their needles in and out of stamped ready to-em-hroider canvases. Furthermore, you will be watching the development of the landscape you have set out to ■stitch, stitch, stitch! as eagerly as any artists paints this or that scene. For the benefit of those who have

HAT BRIMS ALONG NEW LINES •S ’ — z I A £ f FOUR OF THE LATEST MILLINERY MODELS

'O PEAKING in general of the new h a t Si there’s that about their intricacies, their novelty, their sophisticated colorings, which declare the ■“milliner’s touch’* in the highest sense of the word. As to fashionable brims, it may be truly said of them that they abound in fascinating idiosyncracies such as only the skilled hand may hope to achieve. The thought uppermost with the milliner seems to be to reveal the brow and conceal the neckline across the back. Brims are rolled and folded back from the forehead in picturesque lines, or else the brim is omitted altogether across the forehead, but when it comes to the sides and back, there’s inhere the “fun begins.” Such gymnastics, such maneuvers as brims perform at these points I No less breathtaking than the ways of manipulating are the striking color schemes employed. Not only are colors contrasted, but materials as well. Wherefore all signs point to a season of daring millinery to enliven the fall and winter season. It also follows that there is every promise of becoming hats, for the flattering note is kept uppermost tn the minds of milliners who are molding and shaping their creations with a view to tuning to individuality. The fashion of contrasting both materials and colors is accented in the Tricolor Slipper* A fashion for evening, and a very smart one. these slippers with red satin vamps and blue quarters and heels, joined with bands of silver kid so that the effect is red, white and blue. Decorated Sleeve* Decorated sleeves are chic. A traveling coat of soft brown kasha has a two-inch band of fur that spirals its way from Hie wrist almost to shoulder , line.

I never worked with crepe twist it f might be well to explain that it f looks like ratfia and is a favorite I medium for embroidering pocket f books, such as have been in vogue all summer. The remarkable part of crepe-twist it is made out of crepe paper, which Is twisted so hard and processed so ingeniously that it becomes as durable as any yarn. As before said, it has every ap pea rance of raffia, having, however the advantage of being smoother and it comes in every imaginable' lovely tone and tint. Wherever fancy crepe papers are sold you will find crepe ; twist as well. But about these embroidered pic-' tures done in crepe-twist and then gone over with a thin coat of trans , parent lacquer, they will grace the wall of even the most esthetic home I The work is perfectly simple. The stamped canvas to be embroidered is tacked onto a square embroidery frame, as shown in the lower left corner of the illustration. The sketch above shows how easy a matter it is j to work the canvas in solid over-and- I over darning stitch, following the col- i ors as indicated. The large photograph shows the picture completed and handsomely ; framed with a suitable mat to add to its attractiveness.

two stunning models topping this group. The hat to the left is black felt, its rolling brim faced with peagreen velvet —although the velvet may just,as well have been tn any other bright tone. It all depends on the color trend of the costume with which it is to be worn, for colors as well as materials must express the ensemble vogues. Which means that the hat must at all times show colorrelation to the dress, wrap or blouse it complements. To the right, above, the velvetdraped brim is in dark brown, contrasting a tangerine felt crown. Below, to the left, is a very smart soleil felt turban, with a fan-shaped motif of matching velvet adding grace to its contour. Even the cloche of the hour narrows its brim at the front, widening into points as you see in the model concluding this group. It accepts its trimming of ribbon at the back as so many of the smart hats are wont to do. In the new movement of revealing the forehead, not only are brims themselves manipulated so as to accomplish this, but the vogue is further emphasized, especially by the younger girls who are wearing their hats quite far back on the head.

Caracul Jabot A new fall suit is made straight line, with three box plaits below the skirt’s yoke and the Jacket buttoned with eight matching buttofis from the lower edge up to where the caracul jabot flares. Silken Lace* A navy’ blue crepe Roma dress laces its sleeves to the elbow, its white georgette vestee and the sides of its skirt's yoke with little silken laces of self-fabric.

WHY WE BEHAVE LIKE HUMAN BEINGS By GEORGE DORSEY, Ph. D, LL. D. a Some People Are Born With Gills WE NO longer tell friends from enemies by smell; but we often pick them by tile shape of their nose. Man’s nose is dot so striking as the elephant’s, or even the long-nosed monkey’s, but It features bis face and Is one of his most human and superfluous elements. As it is a new acquisition. It began with mammals, it appears late in fetal life and develops fully only after birth. Its shape and size are hereditary and are distinguishing traits of race. But It /has no more to do with brain power )|ian the handkerchief that wipes it. As the olfactory nerves alone are connected with the hemispheres of the human brain, it Is Inferred that the brain Itself arose in connection with the sense of smell; the original brain was a smelling organ. In mammals generally, the smell sense is the most highly developed of al) senses. In monkeys, it has already begun to diminish. Some mammals have five pairs of ridges supporting the olfactory organs; some hoofed animals have eight; apes usually have three. Man has from two to five pairs. The nose in the human embryo is at first a pair of pits or pockets in the skin —the condition in fishes. The external nose appears much later. The ear also begins as a pocket, in the first gill-cleft. This sinks into the head until Its outer opening is closed by the tynpanum or eardrum. A rare anomaly is an individual with two, or even three, external ear openings; these represent the second and third gill-clefts. In some fishes the opening remains; their ear is primarily a balancing organ. Our equilibrium sense organ is also located in the inner ear ; if our semilunar canals are destroyed, we cannot balance ourselves. We turn our head toward sounds or cup our hands behind our ears; our ancestors turned their ears. Our eyes are compound and are made up of the same three parts that are found in fishes’ eyes. First, a cluster of skin cells dig in to form, the lens; skin grows over this, becomes transparent, and forms the cornea. Next, a growth from the neural tube reaches out and ends in a cup around the lens. This cup becomes the retina; the stalk which joins cup with tube, the optic nerve. Cells from the middle germ now enter the cup and form the transparent matter of the eyeball. The middle layer also supplies skin structure; it is subject® to the horny change of old age. Hence “cataract” of the eye; the lens has become covered with a scale. The Asiatic’s eye is not oblique. The “slit” appearance is due to the low nasal bridge supporting the upper lid; the lid thus folds and appears “Mongolian.” This “oblique” eye is not uncommon in white children at birth; when the bridge develops slowly it may persist for months, even into adult life. The tears which wash our eyes—otherwise as dirty as our faces —come from lachrymal glands in the upper outer corner of each eye. Some have additional tear glands at the sides of the eyes, as have reptiles. Our skin is a double structure. The jutside, or epidermis, is ectoderm; the inside, or dermis, is derived from the mesoderm. The fetal skin at first is translucent and not unlike that of fishes. During the third month, the epidermis begins to become horny, as ft is in adult life. It is significant if we lose a third of our skin by fire, acid, boiling liquid, or flaying, we lose our life. Color of skin is an inherited trait and is due to grains of brown or yel-low-red pigment in the dermis. Entire absence of pigment in skin, hair, and eyes is a developmental defect and results in albinos. Albinism is an inherited trait and Is found in many animals. White blackbirds are as common as white black men. Pigment is probably due to secretion of an endocrine gland. To form a better grasping surface, the skin of man’s, monkeys’, and many other mammals’ hands and feet is thrown into minute ridges, especially prominent on the finger tips. These ridges; form loops, spirals, and arches. In no two individuals on earth do they make exactly the same pattern. Hence their unique importance as marks of identification. At the fourth month, the embryo begins to show a fine silky hair coat or lanugo (down). This begins to be re- ■ placed, even before birth, by a second coat of different character. The lanugo may persist as “down” on the face of girls and women, or even all over the body, as on the so-called dogfaced people of the menageries. The lanugo probably represents our adult | ancestral condition. But no satisfaeI lory theory has yet been advanced to account for the fact that man is the least hairy of the primates. i Hair does not grow on our bodies in haphazard fashion, but In lines and sets of three, four, or five, each set being the hairs that grew beneath one scale of our reptilian ancestors.

Pray all come and, hear the news.” The brownies, elves, gnomes, mem bers of the Bogey family, old Mr Giant and Witty Witch and the gob i Uns all came hurrying to the spot where Peter Gnome stood. When he saw them all he waved his high hat in the air and shouted. “There is a little cave near here, I It would not be large enough for old Mr. Giant, but it is going to be my new home. “There is moss inside, and there are little ferns growing about. “There are tiny cracks in the rocks and sometimes I will be able to talk to the insects and hear why they do this and why they do that. “So I am going to give a cave warming.” “What?” they all asked in surprise. “When people give a party in a new house they call it a house warming—or when they have moved to a new home. “Well, as my house is to be a cave, and as I am going to give a party in it, 1 think I should call it a cave warming.” “Perfectly sensible,” said Witty Witch. “A very sensible young fellow is Peter Gnome.” “Still,” said old Mr. Giant, and j stopped for a moment, then coin|y| Was a Huge Success. menced to speak again, and then to wipe a tear away. “Why old Mr. Giant, what is rhe matter?” asked Peter Gnome, as he hopped on Mr. Giant’s right shoulder, pulled his right ear and kissed the tip of his ear gaily. “I was being a little selfish.” said Mr. Giant. “You—selfish I” shouted Peter Gnome. “What in the world do you mean?” “I will tell you,” said Mr. Giant. “Do,” said Peter Gnome. “Do,” said Witty Witch. “I always approve of creatures telling what they have heard that makes them feel hurt. “I don’t believe in their keeping it to themselves as it may all be a misunderstanding that can be cleared up with a little talk.” “Peter Gnome is going to give a cave warming.” said Mr. Giant, “and he said his cave was too smalt for me. “It hurts my feelings for I thought my dear friend Peter Gnome loved me.” “Oh, Mr. Giant,” said Peter Gnome, ‘‘how glad I am you told me what was the matter. “Yes, Witty Witch, you are quite right in saying things should be talked out. “My cave where I’ll sleep is very small—rtoo small for you but all right for a bedroom for me, but my real place where I’ll give the cave warming is the outside part which Is like an open cave, and there are two great tables of rocks where I shall have dinner parties and where we’re to have our party now. “Oh. Mr. Giant. I wouldn’t live anywhere where you couldn’t come and visit me. “There will be lots of room for you in the big cavd. You can even take a nap on one of my tables any time you wish.” Old Mr. Giant was happy once more and they all went off to the party which was a huge success.
