UNIQUE AMONG FOUR HUNDRED.
Miss Burke Roche Delights in Pas
times Unusual With Her Associates.

The four hundred who are supposed
TO compose the exclusive society of
New York are just now greatly inter
ested in one of their number, pretty,
wealthy and aristocratic Cynthia
Burke Roche. She is expected 10 CIT
quite figure in the social gatherings
of the metropolis the coming winter.
She is called the most unusual girl
in the set. OF course she is pretty.
No one could be a daughter of the
beautiful Fanny Work and James
Burke Roche, esteemed the hand
soonest man in London twenty years
ago, and not be the possessor of
good looks, but there are many girls
in New York's 400 who are pretty. An
equally natural heritage from such a
father and such a mother is an aris-
tocratic air OF good breeding, but
there are many girls in New York
society who have the CONNIE ii faut
air to an equal extent. The real
reason is something entirely different
and that its possession makes a girl
of the highest position in the greatest
of American cities unique Is most
distressing situation, but It is never.
theless a far too true one.
She is a true blue American. That
is the secret. She believes in Amer
lea, in the institutions Of the United
States and that it is the best and
greatest country in the world. These
beliefs, it is quite true, are only such
as every American girl should hold
but unfortunately society is so fond
of title that SIS members think there
is nothing quite SO good in America
and they are willing to do anything
to acquire one. Miss Cynthia Burke
Roche will inherit one in her own
right some day, but she says she
cares nothing about 1t and will never
use 1t, while as for marrying a for.

Possibly the painful experience Of
her own mother has something to do
with her decision in regard to matri-
mony, for as all the world knows
Mrs. Roche has had a most olsen
chanting view of the British noble
man. She was the naughty. brilliant
and beautiful daughter of Frank

INVENTION MADE A FORTUNE.
Simple Cake-Baking Pan Was Gold
Mine to Country Woman.


Small and seemingly unimportant
contrivances are frequently the means
of starting their inventors on the high
road to fame or fortune. There are
few clever women who have wooed and
won afTiuence by the exercise of their
talent for ingenuity in little matters.
One of these quiet little women has
within the past six years made for
| tune from selling cake. OF course, it
| is homemade cake, and, furthermore,
the baker clings to certain varieties in
the preparation of which she is partic-
ularly skilled. She is country-bred
woman and lived in little village in
; New York state until seven or eight
years ago. She was known as good
cook in the district where it is con-
sidered almost disgrace for a house
wife not to be good cook. Her
speciality was cake and as she is en-
dowed with more than average allot-
ment of intelligence and not little
talent of invention, she devised a
cake tin that was an improvement
over anything tat had been produced
before in the vicinity. She was shrewd
enough to patent her invention, then
she set about getting her patent be-
fore the public.
Her husband came to her assistance
here and trial was made with the
village folk. The new cake tin took.
Then the large towns in the vicinity
W, re tried, with an encouraging de-
gree of success and the county fairs
gave another opening. After year
or so the woman was advised to go to
New York and luckily secured a good
opening. She has been there ever
since, just making and selling cakes
and exploiting that patented tin. She
employees several assistants, her hus-
band finds it profitable to give all his
time to managing the details of the
business and trade is constantly in
creasing. If anyone doubts that there
| is a demnad for homemade cake in a
! large city visit to the little shop OF
| this cakemaker will convince him or
| her to the contrary. Half dozen
varieties comprise the output and the
| cakes are not cheap by any means.
They are good and they are in de-
mand and it is not unusual during the
middle of the day to find double row
of women around the counter in the lit
tie shop waiting to give orders. 1t is
wise woman who knows wherein
her talents lie these days and in most
cases she reaps a profit from the I'M
derstanding of her talents and her
| limitations.

"WAY DOWN IN GEORGIA."
Extracts From Rural Exchanges as to
What Brisk OCTOBER Weather Brings.

We infer from the following extracts
from rural exchanges that the brisk
October weather brings visions of good
times
Farmer Jones laid fine, fat turkey
on our table last Wednesday. He has
fine turkey farm. He alyo has COWS;
and we need milk and beefsteak.
There will be two candy pullings and
four weddings at the Widow Jones
next Tuesday evening. The widow
herself Is looking spry these crisp
October days. She is no older than
she was ten years ago.
The high sheriff and the mayor ran
a race picking cotton last Monday. The
sheriff beat the mayor 100 pounds,
whereupon the mayor cut him with
razor.
There will be high social dance at
the Widow Spriggins' on Thursday
night next. The last time we had one
of these high dances Spot Williams
kicked the shingles off the roof and let
the starlight in on the old Virginia

SUCCESS OF oPEN-AIR CURE.
consumptives Take to Outdoor Air
and Ice-Cold Baths.

Fifteen Indiana consumptives have
reported themselves or been reported
to the Indianapolis News as intending
TO try the open-air cure this winter
to live and sleep out Of doors. One
of them, Robert E. Davis of Derby,
moved his bed out on his front porch
Overlooking the Ohio river the 9Th
of January and slept out during the
coolest nights last winter" A few
are having one-room frame cabins,
open on one side, built for them.
Many who have been sleeping out
through the summer and fall are now
moving indoors, but intend to leave
their bedroom windows open. Never
in the history of Indiana" gays our
contemporary, were so many win
dows left open at night as at present"

SNOW-SHOEING.

Snow-shoeing is a sport that has
thus far achieved but slight popularity
in the United States, says Country Life
in America. Our neighbors across
the Canadian border have long en-
joyed it's delights, and snow-shoe clubs
are not uncommon in the more settled
regions. Climatic reasons are largely
responsible for our lack of interest
here in "the States" since it is practi-
cally only in the northern tier that
snowfalls occur of a sufficient depth.
Even in these localities which are ia
vored with good deep SHOWS, and hard
freezing weather to keep the snow in
good condition, the sport is not ap-
preciated at it's worth.

with ostrich feathers in its own color
and in light blue?
The idea also has been tried of in
PRODUCING more striking tones and
these are hats in parrot and Nile green,
and other affairs equally strenuous in
color. These, however, are too
theatric in appearance to appeal to the
average wearer. Then, too, they are
in shades that are not becoming to
most people. The picture hat for the
majority will always remain the dark
colored affairs of black, brown, or
navy. Brown combined with tan is
another combination that is quite pop
ular and quite enought to suit the
general trade.
Fur hats and hats trimmed with fur
are much liked this season by the up
to date girl. One form is jacket with
dainty little fur turban to match.
Squirrel is popular, while mink, too, is
much liked. The style of fur hat with
fur scarf to match is another favorite,
A dainty idea is to have the scarf
and the trimming on the hat of the
| same fur, the body of the hat being OF
velvet or some other material. Thus
absolute sameness of the two is re
! lieved.
Ermine and mink are particularly
strong favorites among fur trimmed
hats, while squirrel is also seen tc
quite an extent. AS rule this fur is
put around the hat in couple of mar
row bands. Ermine and squirrel and
such light tone furs are applied or
black or dark backgrounds, while light
hats arc trimmed with mink and such
dark colored turs.
An effective combination is light
colored hat in taffeta or gros grain
relieved by little silk and metal EN-
broidery, and adorned with a couple
of bands of mink. There is just
enough fur about it to relieve the
monotony, and not Sc much as to look
like an all fur hat. Some really beau
tiful effects in black velvet are seer
trimmed with mink, while black lace
over wire frame adorned with this
fur is a popular form.
Another pretty idea is a combination
of fur and feathers. One striking
style on this order shows large round
hat banded with gray squirrel and the
crown adorned by whole bird il
varicolored tints.
The tailored girl does not want 8
! hat that is all fuss and furbelows
What she wants is dainty and plain
effect, but withal one that has French
style and grace in it's every line. Such
hats are mostly small in shape and
show but little trimming. A single
quill, a small bird, possibly a wing
but no ribbons, ornaments, or ostricl
plumes marks this type of hat
Among the many novel and striking
forms is none more daring than tn,

HATS FOR WINTER.

had so many styles of winter hats.
There are the large fiat effects, broad
and with low crowns; the small ideas
with their dainty upturned brims; the
medium sized mats with the crowns be-
ginning to show a higher tendency, to-
gether with fifty and one more shapes,
each one different from the other and
no one more effective than the rest. 1t
is a matter of taste-purely matter
of taste and becomingness.
The broad brimmed, low crowned eff
feet is, possibly, one of the most pop
ular of all. and it is indeed dainty
form. The style has been in vogue
now for considerable while, but it
still holds its favor most unmistak-
ably.
Even in this style, however, there
are innumerable varieties. There are
the plateau effects, the double style
with the plateau underbrim, or maybe
plateau crown and sometimes both
underbrim and crown are of this
plateau form. One novel and striking
form shows a triple effect in plateau,
each one of different shade.
One of the prettiest of all these
plateau ideas, however, is that of an
underbrim in the plateau form of
scratch felt and the upper brim in vel
vet. This is particularly striking
when the velvet is in a dark color or
black and the underbrim in light
tone, such as cream.
Trimming on such a hat is usually
quite simple and is confined to the
lower brim. Beautiful purple grapes
J creation most artistically. Others are
trimmed with a couple of ostrich
plumes in the back, sweeping down
in the Mary Tudor style; still others
show these plumes on the left side of
the underbrim, this being turned up
slightly. All forms, however, are eff
fective.
| Populai and effective as these
plateau styles are, the most pictur-
esque hat is unquestionably large eff
feet ON the Gainsborough order. This
style becomes almost any woman, and
in its most conventional form. The
| black velvet body with ostrich plumes
to match can be worn with any cos
tume-another point decidedly in it's
| favor.
But this year milady is not sticking
J to conventional form alone. Not for
her. She wants something new and
| different; something that is a change
from what she has had, and that will
be at once as becoming as the velvet
but yet little newer. Beaver, al
though not a new material, is receiv-
ing quite share of attention. In its
long haired silky form it is just as
rich looking as the velvet and certain.
ly makes beautiful hat.
Aside from the plain black form
milady is going in more for two toned
ideas. The two toned combination is
a strong one this season, not only in
millinery but in gowns. What could
be more effective or striking than a
