A woman who has managed to get
along until now without purchasing her
winter suit win find that she has not
waited in vain, fosS truly extraordinary
are the sales now going on in all winter
garments. When she considers the price
for simple tailor costume made to order
and the prices asked for a ready made
suit of the same style it is certainly
temptation to wait until late in the sea-
SON for the great marked down sales.
Before purchasing ready made gown
it is good plan to look around well
among the tailor costumes and the most
expensive models so as TO ascertain just
what STYLES are in vogue. what colors
most fashionable, as we'll as the sort of
costume best suited to the purpose for
which it is intended, ic Velvet. for exam
pie, is extraordinarily popular, but even

ably good eeking velevteen dresses are
TO be had at prices which seem strangely
inconsistent with the good style and shape
of the gown and the amount of trimming
necessary iir its construction.

In short coats satin and embroidered

There are uses for the humble green

The peppers should have the white
seeds removed and lie for two or three
hours in cold water. The poison soaks
out. leaving the peppers firm and fresh
with no loss of flavor.
