Lght-Colored Frocks Will Be Worn

Written for The Star by Katharine Anderson
At It's outset, the present sartoriaI sea-

the history of present-day fashions and It's
supremacy will be due largely to its Won
derful color schemes So magnificent and
indescrbably pleasing are the new colors
and combinations of colors that they hold
the key to the Irresistible charm of the
first fall costumes. These are to these
modish frocks what lavender tints are 10

The fall colorings. however. are not the
brilliant tones characteristic of last
years styles The most fashionable shades
are not even striking. but are u blending
of primary and secondary colors, so subtle
that they are intangible. They give the eff
feet OF the running together of palette
paints, and the more delicate shades sug-
gest the changing hues of clouds at sunset
Take. for instance, saffron shade with
its vague suggestion of pink and yellow, or
a delicate coral pink which seems at first
to be red and at second glance has become
a faded pink. Then there is orchid mauve

These combinations are blended in ma

Telltala SauceDans.

In China Il is a common thing for some
people to bewail the lack of a cook, while
their neighbors have numbers Offering them
selves directly the vacancy occurs. The
reason of this is that each cook hands on
to his successor his employers ''charac-

If the place be considered a good one a
saucepan will be left on the ground with
the lid put on properly. If the lid be put on
wrong way uppermost it means that the
place is "A good one and that the cook has
only left for a time and means to return
as soon as he can. If the lid be put half
in and half out of the saucepan 1t indi-
Gates that the place is a good one but the
master is stingy. If the lid be on properly
and some rice be left in it it shows that

The adaptability of woman has just been
freshly illustrated in little town in Penn
sylvania. The minister Of the Crozerville
Methodist Church was called away to adj
dress a camp-meeting. His wife. It seems,
In addition to other qualifications, is an ex-
perienced preacher. So In the absence OF
the regular pastor she was called upon and
consented to conduct the services. This
she did to the great satisfaction OF the con-
gregation, preaching a sermon in the morn
ing, conducting an open-air service in the
afternoon and again delivering a sermon
at the evening meeting. Her talk was of
the most practical character. and in the
morning. among other things, she said:
1.-The trouble is that many church-going
people are not converted" We are afraid
that Mrs. Howells for that is the lady's
name, If she continues to deliver such opin-
ions as these. may find herself called to
some pulpit in a much larger community
than this little Pennsylvania town.

vegetables has an advantage over tho old

Unstable rods that rest on the sides OF bowl

To Bake Cake
The cake tins that hang on the sides OF
the settle are unique. Both round and
square molds have openings on the rims.
These are covered by long slides on which
the cake tin rests to allow the bottom of the
cake to cool, after it has been loosened by a
knife Inserted at the openings. No greas-
ing of the molds is required, and when
standing on the slides the cake sticks gently
to the sides of the tin.
A pie tin that is decidedly new has
crinkled rim inch wide. II fits snugly
over the edges of the tin and gives pretty

be quickly prepared by patent toaster and
easily managed poacher. The former is a
composition Of clay with indentations, and
toasts the bread a luscious golden brown
without any danger of burning. The poach-
er has a spring attached to the rings by
which they are lifted to allow the eggs TO
slide off perfectly whole.

On her return from Newport after a stay
of less than a month her wardrobe would
balance up something after this fashion:
Six lingerie waists ready for the French
cleaner or the blanchisseuse de fin, who will
charge not less than 81 for the process Of
renovating.
-Four thin morning dresses at cost of
$500 are turned over to the maid, who in
the light of her vast experience, wonders If
they will even pay for pressing, let alone
carrying them to the secondhand man, for
the hand-run tucks look drawn and the lace
rnedallions have come loose. The dressing
has been taken out Of the fabric by the salt
air, and the once billowy, fluffy mass of
9raperies now seem limp and discolored to
the maids critical eye. They would not
bring $25 apiece from the even more critical
dealer In secondhand clothes. Heat, per-
spiration and sea air have wrought havoc
in the black evening dress. There is moth
ing for it but to rip the elaborate mass of
handwork from its silken foundation and
lay aside the latter for future use.

race of racehorses by selection OF parents
we might produce similar effects by super
vising human marriages. There are several
fallacies In this reasoning. We are able to
breed fast race horses because we want

Cooking utensils. like the decoration OF
the room, are study in brown and blue.
All the crockery, including different styles
and sizes of casserole, pudding dishes. etc,

Both granite ware and crockery display

The frock has a suggestion of princess cut
in the shapeIy plat which extends from the
square lingerie yoke, with a slight taper at

buttons adorn the rich velvet collar and
belt, and fasten the opening of a tight
