Some pressv Wrans

There are two kinds Of dressy wraps
the garment which can be worn I'm
the afternoon as well as evening, and
the wrap which Is intended merely for
evening wear, says a London letter
The former bears decidedly the stamp
Of the tailor-made. The latter is a pro-
duct Of the dressmaker's art, and its
makeup runs the gamut of all deli
cate fabrics and laces. OF the two,
the semi-tailored wrap appeals most
strongly to the average busy woman
OF today. In 1t she never appears over
dressed, while cabs and maids are not
essential to preserve its pristine smart
ness.
The materials suitable for this kind
OF coat are principally velvet and
broadcloth, silk being employed fire.
quently with warm interlinlngs. When
the wrap Is shaped from broadcloth
very delicate colorings are chosen to
give 1t a dressy look, and the palest
of blue tints, pinks in peach and coral,
Nile green and cream shades mark
the seasons most attractive models.
Flowers In Millinery
Flowers are as much in evidence on
the more elaborate winter hats as they
were on the hats of last summer, writes
an expert from New York. Camellias
are very smart and are seen on many
hat was of white MORE in the popular
low-crcwned sailor shape. 1t was set
on high bandeau Of white tulle
ruches, and had an ample scarf of
tulle around the crown. Directly in
front, near the edge Of the brim, were
set two exquisite camellias one of

Wooden Cooking Plates
A novelty this season is the wooden
cooking plate for pies and cakes. The
plates are made of wood pulp and wa
ter, are porous, light and cheap. No
greasing is required and the dough or
paste never sticks. The pulp absorbs
any superfiuous grease, and the use
OF the plates is therefore sanitary. The
plates cost about one cent apiece.
Cranberry Jelly
Boil one quart of cranberries with a
cupful of water five minutes, after the
boiling point has been reached. Let
the dish be covered but lift the cover
occasionally to avoid the danger of
boiling over. Pass the berries through
q sieve and add two cups of sugar
Stir until well mixed and turn into an
earthen or graniteware mould. The
mixture will not jelly If moulded in tin,
or If sugar is added before the boiling
ceases.
The Polite Boys Guess
A school teacher instructing her
classes in grammar wrote this sentence
on the board for correction: "The
horse and the COW Is in the lot" No
one seemed to know what was wrong
with 1t, till at last polite little boy
raised his hand. What is it, Johnny?"
asked the teacher. You should put
the lady first" corrected Johnny.
An Apron With a Pocket
An apron with deep pocket is
mighty satisfactory for fancy work
for any kind Of sewing, in fact; for
into the pocket go scissors and thimble
and spools of cotton-all the numerous
little things that have such aggra-
waiting ways of dropping on the floor
and losing themselves at critical mo-
ments.
A Lady Engineer
Great interest has been aroused in
Switzerland by the announcement that
Mile. Cecile Butticar has obtained the
diploma as engineer at the Lausanne
university. She came high up in the
list among some twenty candidates of
the sterner SEX Mile. Butticar, who is
only twenty-four years of age, holds
the distinction of being the first of
her sex to take up engineering as a pro-
fession.
