Fashion Hints

Broadcloth robe gowns trimmed with
fringe are new.
Very lovely dress hats are made of satin
and Irish and Venice lace.
One of those dainty lowered scarfs in
a box would make an alluring gift.
Flowered chiffon fashions quite the
most charming evening gowns of the win
ter.
A beautiful novelty in girdles is wrought
entirely of gold leaves and dropping jew
eled berries.
Blouses of subdued plaid silk are a good
choice for wear with the walking coat and
skirt suit.
Let the short, stout woman beware OF
these immensely wide shoulders and gath
cred hips.
Pale-colored slips are worn under the
thin white blouses which many warm
blooded women cling to all winter.
AN the most delicate colors of evening
-siSsys are to be found in the tints of the
handsome wide belts of wrinkled suede.
The newest chiffon wells are drawn up
on an elastic and finished with a four
inch plisse frill at the top.
The return of storm collars is a step in
the right direction, and from all indica-

Christmas Is Coming

Coat hangers are nice presents for
both college men and bachelors. They
may be as pretty as possible with rib
eons and bows and silks; they may
mold sachet or not, but they are soft
and preserve coat Innings and keep a
coat neat in set A pretty coat hanger
does not take up any more room than
sn ugly one. One is stuffed with cot
ton, which is first fastened to a wire
frame. The hook is wrapped with rib
bon and a big rOsette put at the top.
A bag is hung below the hanger for
socks, thus economizing room, an item
80 be considered in large cities.
Another useful present is the collar
box. A new style has a tiny box let in
the middle of the top for the reception
of collar buttons and cuff links. To
make one. cover a wide band of paste
board with silk and sew the smaller
band in the same fashion and then cut
a circle of cardboard to fit the bottom
of the larger band, cover that and sew
the smaller band to the centre of the
bottom and the large one to the edges.
The collars fit around one and the cuffs
around the other circle. The cardboard
must be stiff enough to keep its shape.
A lid is made by cutting a circle a
shade larger than the bottom, covering
that and a narrow band to sew around
its lower edge, and then sinking a small
round or square box in the middle. A
small cover for this is made and sew
ed in one spot and tied with a bow,
which forms a hinge, and a little brass
knob, or fancy button, tied with bow,
forms a handle to the top.

NATIONAL ELECTION DAY.
why It's the Tuesday After the First
Monday In November.

Monday In November.
Why should the law prescribe "the
Tuesday next after the first Monday
in November instead Of saying the
first Tuesday7" Like many other small
things this provision introduces an in
teresting picture Of the past.
Although the constitution requires
the electors in all the states to meet
and choose a president on the same
day, It was not until 1S45 that a law
was passed by congress providing that
the electors should be chosen on the
same day throughout the United
States. When William Henry Harrison
was the Whig candidate, In 1910. New
York began 10 vote on the first Monday
In November. and the polls were kept
open until Wednesday night. Election
day in Massachusetts was the second
Monday, but before that day, in this
instance, enough states had voted 20 de-
eide the contest. The National Intelli-
gencer OF that year records that several
thousand aged and infrm Wings in
Massachusetts did not bother to go to
the polls.
Delaware voted n day later than
Massachusetts. Illinois, Indiana and
! Pennsylvania were among the early
/ voting states Alabama was one Of the
last This diversity, combined with
slow methods Of transmitting news.
left the election results in doubt for
many days
The system was not satisfactory. The
states that voted early had an undue
influence on the result Especially was
this true as communication became
more rapid, and by 1910 an enthusiastic
editor told how the news from Pitts
burg had been brought TO New York II
thirty-hve hours. ''This," he added
significantly, "is a sign OF the times"
Congress accordingly decided 70 es
tablish a uniform day. The origlna
bill named the first Tuesday in No
vember. but it was found necessary tC
harmonize this with the requirement
that not more than thirty days should
elapse before the meeting Of the elect
oral colleges in the different states
which had been set for the first
Wednesday in December. When Tues
day is the first day Of November. De
cember will have no Wednesday till

seven days. Under the law as It was
passed in 1916 not more than twenty.

LITERARY

Hall Caine, whose latest success en-
titled "The Prodigal Son" has just been
published by D. Appleton & Company,
was once asked during what hours he
did his writing.
"Hours?" replied the Manx writer,
what hours? Why, it would be simply
impossible for me to write at any
stated hours. When am reaching a
climax in my story there is neither time
nor space for me. simply write until
1 must sleep, or the climax is achieved"
The spare figure of the little author
whose vast frontal development con-
tains such intense dramatic power, in
dicates that his genius is of the fiery.
energetic kind that wastes and con-
sumes the writer both within and with
out. It is a relief to observe that Hall
Caine is possessed of both muscle and
vigor, and the perennial youthful en-
thusiasm of genius, and to reflect that
only last year he rode thirty miles on
horseback in Iceland in search of local
color. His statement in regard to the
erratic hours during which he works is
interesting in view of the fact that de
Musset used to write all night with no
other light than that of innumerable
candles and Stevenson did his best work
during his last years sitting up in bed
in the early morning.

The little men Of Japan can give the
world many thrilling stories Of courage
and many Of clever stratagem as well.
One Of the powerful mobiles Of the

enemy in haste. He hid in a barrel and
was borne away by servants, who,
meeting the enemy, declared that the
barrel contained food.
