for change, both at the back of the head,
one above the other. There is also a sort

bard squash and prepare 1t as you would
fO' ordinary cooking. except that you cut it
into long narrow pieces instead of chopping
It up. Put it over the fire with a little
water, and let it cook very slowly. When
quite tender pour off the water, add to It
enough to cover the squash, when 1t Is
poured on again. To this water add cup
OF sugar for each cup of water. Put on
the stove and let it boil; skim carefully I'M
til the syrup is perfectly clear. Then pour
it over the squash again and let 1t all
cook in the syrup about twenty minutes,
but not long enough to darken the squash
in color Just before you take 1t from the
fire add teaspoonfm of rose-water for
every cupful of syrup. The other preserve
is a combination of squash and ounce.
Take equal parts of squash and ounce and
cook slowly until. It is a thick jam. Then
rub it through a fine sieve and add to each
cup of jam cup of sugar. Let this cook

applied to the coat with velvet pipngs,
which lend a charming contrast.
In the realm of children's millinery for
practical use beavers and felts show very
simple bookings in delicate shades of gray,
tan and white. The tricorne shape is uni
versally popular. but to some children IT. is
hideously unbecoming and should be dill
gently avoided. When it does suit child's
face, however. the trlcorne Is extremely
trim, and requires only binding and broad
band quill in dark shade of velvet to
render it suitable for school wear.
Saucer-shaped hats are decidedly in vogue
this fall both in patent leather and felt.
The latter are lifted high at the back of
the head by a velvet bandeau. A trig vel
vet bow at one side of the crown forms
the only trimming on the upper part of the
hat, though occasionally a wreath of
autumn leaves or loops of ribbon are laid
at the base of the crown.
No matter what its fate in the fashions
of grown-ups. the large hat will always re-
main the most artistic for the Child's face.
There is no loveler simple hat than large
white felt with huge Alsatian bow of wide
ribbon directly across the front One
model trimmed In this manner has the bow
held at the center by large braid rings
and the hat is shaded to the face by a
narrow facing of velvet underneath the
brim. Ribbon strelmeTs both in velvet and
silk, are also seen on these large hats at
the back.

Necklaces to Match Gowns.

beads has been revived. and quaint old

Sets of gems to match the color of tho

stones are TO be found.
The spinel, a pretty stone which comes
from Siam, can be procured in almost any
color and is especially attractive in red and
blue. Greensboro, the lucky" New Zea-
land stone, which is kind of jade is also
often made into necklets. and the aqua
marine, which was in vogue I'm the Georgian
days. Is once more favorite.
Other necklets are composed of amber,
coral, topaz, lapls, lazuli. jet. Connemara
marble, comedians and garnet, so that
great variety of color can be chosen.

Bright Collars and Cuffs.

Judging from late Partisan confectiors
for youngsters, the popular color schemes
this fall show that youthful mixtures of
black and white set off by velvet collar
and cuffs in bright cOlors and a peculiar
shade of blush gray have taken prece-
dence CIe the many shades of brown worn
last year. Dark blue, always such a salts
factory color has brilliant rather than
dead hue in this seasons model coats.
Bright olive green is also a favorite, par
tiCularly with collar and cuffs of fur. and
fo' the child who takes care of her clothes
there is no color better suited to youth
and beauty than a light shade of tan.
y supple tan covert coat will appeal to
the mother who dresses her child in light

Another sensible three-QUaTter coat is

so essential in shaped coats.

Takes the Tailor.

Pressing, however, is important fac
to, even with the empire jacket, and
tailors method of using the iron produces
most satisfactory results. To press stitch
inGs, lay the iron down heavily in one spot
over a dampened cloth for a moment. Then
lift II and put down III the next spot. Do
not move the iron back and forth, because
it + apt to give a puckered effect In press
ing seams open them and wet thoroughly be-
fore applying the iron. The same rule
must be observed in regard to lifting the

Furnishing Up.
To stretch out summer millinery over the
intermediate season Is more difficult than
to tide over with gowns for, being more
perishable, hats are sooner out of commits
sion than any other article in the wardrobe.
But many summer hats warrant retrim-
ming. and often the substitution of bird
or wings for faded flowers will do wonders
in freshening, while quite a new look Is
given If all the trimmings are eaken Off and
put back In some new way after pressing
and cleaning.
The woman who knows how to visit al
ways carries number Of little things along
with her for refurbishing, for with cor
rect toilet necessary for every moment of
the day. the best wardrobe may give out
sometimes. Especially, also, are dainty
neck fixings required, wells of various sorts,
dressy and simple belts and pretty shawl
or fancy tichus of some sort.
A fchu arrangement, which would do
wonders for the freshenng of a frippe
frock, is called the capuchin. One worn
with low white taffeta silk dress was of
white silk mousselne. with the pulled cape
portion trimmed with two close quillings
of French lace. Two long scarfs of plain
mousseline, hemmed and tucked at the bot
tom, finished the narrow shoulder portion
OF the capuchin. The style permits that
these scarfs be worn either hanging straight
or crossed at the bust and tied at the back
of the waist in a big bow.

Craze for Embroidery.

Everything from blouse to underwear is
embroidered this season. What IS known
in dressmakers' parlance as broderie an
glase takes the lead and therefore many
women of careful habit can turn to old
stores and discover what ornamented the
pettlcoats Of their mothers and use the find
for trimming their own frockS whereby they
will assume a richness of apparel not in
proportion to their purse. for brOderie an
glaise is just that open buttonholed en-
broidery which our mothers not only wore.
but worked. Then, too, raised satin stitch

the numbers of green's that have been worn

they are quite as much brown as green.
