Fashion Hints for Autumn.

The new ~drop-yokes produce the
effect of very dropping shoulders
and are shown in many of the new
est models with the yoke of all-oVer
lace extending over the sleeves.
Seams in slot effect remain the
distinguishing note in many of the
new skirts and jackets and also in the
smart shirt-waists.
There is nothing daintier than
well-made and exquisitely decorated
lingerie and since the vogue of fag-
goting gowns, separate Jokes, col
larsy ETC., is at its height, this dainty
needlework is likewise applied to
underwear. The stitch employed is
usually the plain faggoting or her
ringbone.
There is a wide assortment of
heavy-textured or "mannish" gods
as they are termed, any one of which
is appropriate for jacket-and-skirt
suits.
Boulevard velvet cords are shown
in a wide assortment of %colors, and
there is no more fashionable mate
rial for walking or street costumes.
Embroidery and fancy stitches are
the inevitable mark of distinction on
everything from the dainty stock
collar to the even daintier hose.
Fashion has decreed the extensive
use of pendant and ball trimmings
this season, and a great variety is
exhibited. Both black and colored
samples are procurable, as well as
bits of metal and enamel from which
iridescent beads and spangles are
suspended.
The possibilities or velvet ribbon
as an ornamental feature have won
for it the highest popularity in trim
ming net, chiffon and light woollens.

A Useful Recipe.

Dear Aunt Jennie This beauti-
full autumn morning / will take time
to write a word to the Chat, as you
asked me to do some time ago. [
have been so very busy of late that
l have neglected this, or rather have
not taken time, but on seeing your
letter of September End in print I
was so forcibly struck with it's con-
tents, that I felt I must write again.
In that letter found my feelings
and thoughts expressed really better
than l could express them myself,
but why I was so much affected by
your letter is that [ have just parted
with my dear baby boy, who left
home September Sd for thea. and
M. College at Raleigh.
AS for the old war times in the
South, I might by a little effort on
my part, tell a great many things
that occurred, but recalling these
things produces such sad feelings
that I feel like I had rather not re-
member them, but let the "dead past
bury it's dead" One thing I can say
that I truly hope we will never be
involved in such awful times again.
And now if you will allow me a
small space, I will give you a recipe
for making tomato butter" Prob
ably there are many readers that are
losing their tomatoes simply because
they do not know what to do with
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-09-16

the present quantity. Take tomatoes,
pour boiling water over them to re-
move the skin, press out all the seed
you can. Then put through the chop
per; add lemon juice and grated
rind; finally sweeten, and boil down
to a marmalade, and you have nice
"tomato butter"
Ny letter is getting longer than I
intended, and I close, wishing Aunt
Jennie and The Progressive Farmer
a long and successful life.

A story is told of a young laborer

called at the registrars Office to reg

official asked the date of the event,
the son replied:
"He amt dead yet, but he'll be
dead before night, so I thought it
would save me another journey if
you would put it down now"

children, and the girls have more re-
spect for themselves, and their assoc
ciates have more for them, when
they are given pretty and becoming
clothes to wear to school. This does
not mean fine or snowy clothes, for
everything like showiness should be
avoided in their school dresses, but
they should be of a becoming color
and made up stylishly.
The first object to be attained is
to make them comfortable. One of
the most popular styles for school
wear is the blouse suit with gathered
or gored skirt. The blouse waist
may be made of one material and the
skirt of another, and the suit will
be as pretty or even prettier than
when they are both-made of the same
goods. .
If one is not we'll supplied with
means their school waists and dresses
can be managed from old garments
of their own or from those of an
older member of the family. Never
is the old adage which declares that
what is worth doing at all is worth
doing we'll" more applicable than to
the making of children's clothing
from old material, for they never OBJ
ject to wearing new-old clothes if
they are cut by a stylish pattern and
made up prettily. A most ~serviceable
school dress was made from an old
tan cloth suit after eoloring the
cloth a rich dark blue with diamond
dye for wool and the cloth looked
fresh and new because it was very
carefully pressed. Black wool dress
es are ~serviceabIe for school wear but
they are seldom kept all black, but
rusty black cashmere or henrietta
cloth can be recolored a Jet black,
and if they are relieved by bright
colors they are pretty as well as ser
viceable. A. M. II.

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

Many mothers are very much trou-
bled at this season as to what the
children shall wear to school. Miss
A. M. H. discusses the subject and
gives some valuable hints. The pres
ent popularity of the blouse suit is
largely due to the economy in com
bining two colors in the makeup.
Remnants can be purchased very
cheaply and you can oftentimes buy
two nice serviceable dresses in this
way with the money one would cost
if made entirely of one color. The
Objectionable feature of the blouse
suit is that the skirt is always slip
ping down out of position. To OBJ
viate this, make strips Stimulating
suspenders and sew them to the skirt
crossing them in front or (what is
better still for winter wear) a plain
cotton waist sewed to the skirt, and
over this wear the blouse.
IF you remember a former article
of Miss HIS which appeared in these
/ columns the little girls will have a
suficiency of bright fresh hair rib
bons, for they can fix them them
selves. Nothing makes a schoolgirl
look quite so neat and attractive as
pretty bright ribbon for her hair.
I wish my girls to remember that
dress does not make but it does
oftentimes mar, the man or womaR.~
You can be a perfect lady in a cali
CO, but be sure that it is neat and
clean. / knew a woman who taught
in a college and still had so little
common sense that she valued and
marked the girls according to the
dresses they wore. Those who dress
ed beautifully every day invariably
received the best reports while the
plain, persevering, studious girls
were almost ignored by her. Let us
be thankful that there are only a
few such teachers, fur ne so ruled
by prejudice ought not to be adj
judged capable of ruling others.
A Readers letter tells us how she
makes tomato butter. She has our
thanks for the recipe and also for
her kind words of encouragement.
We are glad to know that she has a
boy at the A. and M. College. I
would be delighted to have the sons
and daughters of correspondents call
on me. They can learn my address
by asking for it at The Progressive
Farmer Office.
I still persist in the roll call, hop
ing that you will answer ere long.

Hyacinth, Mrs. M. d. Evans, Invalid,

and it is said that one may look in vain
through the story of the piece for any
justifable reason as to why this title
was chosen. So far as its costumes and

The title is attractive. however, and the
fact that it is not accurately descriptive
