IN THE REALM OF DRESS.
Fabrics That Are Now Popular for
Evening Wear-Fur Coats for
Coming Season

A new twilled cloth for winter cos
tunes resembles the weave of French
vicuna, says the New York Post.
An old fad which seems likely to
come in favor again this season is the
application of fur on lace, both in tiny
bands, which are very effective, and
likewise in bits and patches outlining
or covering the form OF one of the de-
signs in the lace.
Crepe de chine grows constantly in
favor for evening wear. Liberty fab
RIGS and sheer wool are also made up
into very becoming gowns, and there
Is delicate merceriZed wool, much like
poplin or poplinette, which is coming
into favor. 1t is soft, light, and cling
ing, comes in dainty colors, and, tucked
and embroidered or trimmed with lace
and velvet ribbon, makes pretty gown
appropriate for almost any occasion.
Dull finished silks and crepe de
chine, lustreless zibeline, Hermann, In
dla crepe cloth, Henrietta cloth, dram
royal and double-faced cashmere are
among the fabrics that fashionable
dressmakers will use this fall in pre-
pairing mourning outfits.
An odd fancy in French gowns is to
have the girdle made of fine cloth, even
ON evening toilets. One of very dia
phanous silver gray mousseline de sole.
figured with white silk dots. has a
white cloth girdle finished with three
gold buttons. The gown is made over
white tatfeta, with matching vest
tucked into pointed yoke shape at the
top, the tucks brier-s titched, and the
yoke finished with a collar MATCHING
the girdle
Fur coats are shown in every i'm
aginable design, from the short Eton.
the double-breasted jacket, and three
quarter box style, to the luxurious gar
ments that reach the skirt hem. Elab-
orately embroidered revers and collars
are seen in some of the imported mod
els; for instance, a dark mink coat
with revers of brown peau de sole
worked in brown silk and old threads.
Hare and costly patterns OF cream
gulpure lace are used on sable wrons
and coats of black caracal are lined
with gray satin and fastened with largo
silver buttons.

In tracing the course of this hum
BILE but useful bovine that has full
filled his part in the American civ
ilization of Britain, we have fol-
lowed the path that is travelled every
year by tens of thousands of his
kind, says Frank Leslie's. The total
annual export value of United States
meat-of which beef forms the prin-
cipal item-is in round figures $780,
100000. If we add to this the dis
tributive sales of the various pack
ing establishments in the United
States for the domestic market as
well, we find that it reaches the
enormous total of 100000 carloads,
valued at 100000, 900. Added to this
is the value of the many by-products
of the packing house, which amount
to many millions more.

TURNING WORK INTO PLAY.
Modern AccOmplis hments in Machin-
cry Construction Which Real
ize That Result

Boys who find the burden of life
heavy will feel that the future still
holds possibilities when they read of
the Philadelphia man who possesses an
automobile lawn mower.
Instead of pushing a heavy machine
through the long grass under blazing
sun, he sits upon springy seat, enjoys
the rapid motion, has the eXhilaration
of guiding a sensitive creature of steel
and rubber and all the time enjoys the
cheerful consciousness that his recrea-
ton is also doing his work. What bet
ter remedy for that tired feeling"
could one ask?
The Philadelphia mans machine,
however, is not so much a great mod
ern invention as it is a sign of the
times; an example of the general, and
in the main, wholesome, tendency to
turn work into play, says Youths
Companion. Tom Sawyer was regard
ed as martyr to circumstances, a
victim of the curse of Adam, by the
boys, who found him whitewashing
the fence. But when he showed them
that his employment was play, not
work, privilege rather than a pun
ishment, both fence and situation as
sumed different aspect.
This work-and-play theory is really
the handspring of modern educational
methods. The Kindergarten manipu-
lates his little slips of paper and makes
a box; the sloid student has a delight
full time hammering and saving, and
carries home a bootjack. Ethel eats
the fruits of her cooking school les
son, and Henry surveys the wood-lot
while he studies trigonometry.
Perhaps in time the farmer may take
little whirl in his flying machine and
incidentally pick the apples, and his
wife's bicycle ride may accomplish the
family sewing. But work will never be
wholly eliminated. One who shirks it
himself merely imposes it upon others.
One should not forget the story of the
man whose house was fitted with many
ingenious labor-saving devices. A
friend remarked one day upon the diff
ticulty he had had in opening the gate
Il should think so ingenious a man
would find way to make it swing more
easily" he said.
THAT gate!" replied the other man
why, don't you know? Every one who
opens that gate pumps two gallons of
water into the tank in my attic"

Fried rice with cheese is a good
luncheon dish. Cut slices of cold
boiled rice and fry brown in butter.
Sprinkle the hot slices with grated
cheese, which may be a com bination
of dairy and Parmesan. Fried to-
matoes go well with the rice. and the
two make a substantial meal. Slice
the tomatoes in rather thick slices,
sprinkle with bread crumbs, and fry
carefully, so as not to break the slices.

air out of the drying chamber and con-
denses it in the conduit pipes, thus
greatly stimula ting the process of
evaporation by which the peat is dried.
Peat in its raw state contains from 20
to IS per cent. of water and in the
humid climate of northern Europe is
usually very difficult ma terial to dry.
1t is claimed for the Stauber method
that it reduces the moisture to IS or
20 per cent. quickly, effectively and,
what is important, without changing
the chemical composition of the peat
or in any way adding it. The drying
machine is in the boiler form (cylin-
drical) and of a size to conveniently
produce five tons of dried peat per day.
In large plant this unit would be sim

coal can be used for locomotive or
