FORWOMEN
The Crusader Coat

"A white season" is the novelty
which fashion has ordained for the
winter. Furs, hats. coats and even
walking dresses are to be of snowy
white or delicate shade of cream
but the new white crusader coat for
women is the real sartorial surprise
OF the season. Made of neecy white
cloth that is quite as warm and a
quarter of the weight Of fur. the CRU
sader coat is really glorified guards
coat which falls In long graceful lines
from the shoulder, and is secured by
short strap at the back. This strap
which passes through buckle of dull
silver colored metal fits closely to the
waist and is often OF a contrasting
color pale blue for preference. The
wide collar and revers are also faced
with cloth I'm the new shades of tur-
duose blue and embroidered with sill

Velvet Slippers
one of the most beautiful novelties
Of the season is a white velvet simmer
The velvet is dotted over with odd
little designs pressed In by a hand in
strument Then II is tinted with paint
IN a flower pattern or tinted all over
The glace-kld slippers are very simple
but very pretty They come I'm plain
colors-pink. blue. ETC. and are low
cut with plain, stiff little bows In
front. There are black and white cas-
tor, high colonials opera slippers
with the full maline rosettes). satin
and white kid. The royal slipper Is
beautiful novelty 1t has the strap
effect but does not fasten. The straps
are so constructed that they fall into
place over the instep without any
buttoning or clasping.
Chestnut Patties
After the nuts have been cooked ten
der and mashed, add to one pint of
nuts one-half cup cream, two we'll
beaten eggs, a quarter cup sugar, "A
cup and a half of milk and saltspoon-
full of salt. Line patty shells with
good paste, fill with the nut mixture
and bake quickly.
Orchid Butterflies
1t appears that the popular bouquet
of violets, which has been a great con-
venience to those who do not know
what to order in the way of floral Of
ferings, is to take to itself added hon
ors. In New York the florists are
setting forth punches Of these modest
flowers with three purple orchids al
most imbedded among them. The or
chids are said to look like enormous
butterhys pinned as prisoners into the
violets, their delicate wings fluttering
To Clean Chamois
To wash chamois leather make a
lather of soap and warm water and in
this squeeze the leather till the dirt
is removed. Use more than one lot of
suds If necessary, finally rinse in soapy
not clearwater, squeeze and hang
out to dry. If the leather be much
soiled add a little ammonia TO the soap
Suds.
For Wavy Hair
Before going to bed brush the hair
thoroughly, and then braid it loosely.
With a damp, soft, wide nail brush
lightly brush over the head, and then
raise the braid from the neck to re-
move the weight from the roots. With
the fingers then pat the waves into
place. and with three pins hold the
braid back at the back of the head
The braid itself is still down, but in
stead of hanging from the neck it is
at the back of the head. In the morn
ing the hair is in deep waves that
brush out as it is being done up, but re-
appear when dampened After the hair
is entirely dressed tie over it a thin
veil for fifteen minutes, and when that
is removed the head looks as though it
were just from the hands of a hair
dresser, only far prettier.
Leather Center Pieces
Stenciled leather makes good center
pieces and mats for dining-room and
library tables. They are particularly
good in dining rooms, where leather
has already been introduced in the
panelling of walls and in upholstering.
III making these leather center-pieces,
it is a good idea to paste them on a
piece of cheaper leather or heavy felt,
cut in exactly the same shape to give
them body.
