Robe Blankets

Among the outing wraps now popular for
autumn are the blanket cloaks made liter
ally from large double blankets At first
the Idea Is rather hard to grasp but when
all made up the popularity of this coat can
well be understood for the material In IT.
self is bound to be delightfully."- warm with
out being uncomfortably heavy. Then, too.
blankets can always be washed or cleaned,
and, besides, do not show soil nearly SO
much as many other light colored textures
There is an infinite variety from which to
choose In purchasing one of these blanket
coats. There are the plain colors, white
blue gray or black and then there are the
effective striped and fancy blankets One
especially pretty coat was made from a
white blanket with deep red striped Dor
der. The coat itself was Of the plain white.
while the collar, large revers and wide
cuffs were formed from the border, and the
end of the coat was also finished with the
red. This cloak was only semi-fitted In
bac OK and. OF course. was double breas ted
and In length fell some few inches below
the knees. This same model is equally at
tractive with a blue and white or pink and
white border, although in cold weather red
always looks deliciously warm.
Some Of the coats are all white; these
look less like the regular blankets and are
generally finished or cut with some at
tempt at style and fit. One all white coat
fell to the hem Of the skirt and was cut
very much like the average driving coat.

is sufficiently heavy for any purpose but
later on double thickness will be found
necessary. Naturally cloak of this style
is made large enough to slip on over any
cloth suit or any number of sweaters Just
now it Is difficult to make up ones mind to
the idea of so many garments being posi-
BILE. but the woman who remains late out
of town or spends an occasional week end
IN the country during the winter Is Only too
glad to discover some new means of keep
ing warm.
1t Is only quite far north that as heavy
a wrap as the blanket coat Is serviceabIe
just now. but in a month. if not before, a
coat Of this sort will be almost a necessity;
that Is, for the morning and informal wear
in the afternoon. for there is nothing really
smart about this delightfully."- comfortable
garment. During the winter the suburban
lite will find the blanket indispensable after
It's first trial. for strange as it may seem,
there are many times when 1t will even
take the place of fur wrap. For tobog-
gaming. bobbing, and frequently for sleigh
ing, the blanket worn over heavy sweater
Is nearly warm fur and Is not In
jured by being wet or caked with snow. To
be sure, this Is looking ahead somewhat,
but 1t would really be a good plan to pur-
chase or have made at once a heavy
blanket Of single thickness, and then, If
desired, 1t may be faced or lined later on
with another layer. SO to speak, OF the ma
terial.

Economy in Dress.

IT didn't go. had nothing suitable to
wear. and knew wouldn't enjoy it." The
words have familiar sound. We've said
them ourselves many time
1t isn't easy to go places when you aren't
properly gowned. 1t Isn't comfortable to
mingle with other women when your heart
Is sore for the lack of all the dainty fem
mime frills with which they are possessed,
and yeti isn't good to stay away.
1 know one girl who has hosts Of friends,
and who keeps up with them. too. Who
owns Just one street gown in a season,
which must do duty for every sort of &C.
cason She has set Of skillful fingers and
an ingenious little brain. and she has re-
joiced loudly in the recent fashion Of white
blouses. She has numbers of them, at a
very little COST for she is fast becoming
adept in hunting for bargains in materials.
She has developed a talent for laundering
them that might put French professional
to the blush. and she always looks fresh
and dainty. What extra money comes her
way goes for gloves, shoes and millinery
trifies, for she also builds most ravishing
little hats.
To be sure, the young woman in ques-
ton has more time than some OF us. and
perhaps more skill. but she teaches four
hours day in primary school and her
getting a pretty fair share Of enjoyment
out of life.
Going out among people when you don't
feel that your clothes are all that they
might be Is not unlike swimming lesson
something of a shock when you first plunge
into the water. but mighty exhilarating
after you are really there. It's dead easy
to get into the habit Of not going. and
few people are willing to trouble to go
after you If you don't come Of your own
accord. but once you are there it is the
most natural thing for your friends to in
sist upon your coming again:
Clothes mean such lot to us women
that it sounds almost heretica1 to say that
they don't always count, but. after all.
aren't we much better Off II we don't let
the lack of them spoil all our fun?

THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. October S.-The cotton mar

and reports of more liberal spot offerings
Trading was heavy. There was a slight
advance right after the call on covering, but
bear pressure was aggressive and shortly
afterward the initial loss was increased to
matter of 22a24 points, which carried
prices nearly 20 points down from the re-
cent high level. At this level there was suf-
ficient covering to check the decline, but the
tone was very nervous and unsettled during

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK October S.-Today's stock
market was distinguished rather by the
striking advances and the special activity
In a number of particular stocks than by
any very definite and well-sustained tone
50 far as the market at large was concern
ed During the morning General Electric
rose over eight points. with correspond
ing advance in Westinghouse Electric.
American Smelling rose over four points
and American Locomotive jumped very
quickly two points. The United States
Steel shares were firm. although not con-
spicuously so, while elsewhere in the in
dustrial and miscellaneous quarter a num-
Der of round gains were scored. For the
most part no news and very little gossip of
interest attended these striking movements.
There was some talk to the effect that the
January dividend on General Electric would
be declared at an advanced rate and re-
vval of the reports of consolidation OF
that company with the Westinghouse con-
Germ but the latter found little credence.
The dealings in Amalgamated Copper We're
in tremendous volume and that stock show
ed marked strength. There was another eX-
al both in the London and local markets.
which circumstance, together with the fact
that the dividend on Amalgamated Copper
will be acted upon ten days hence. doubties'
accounted sufficiently for the pronounced
animation in the stock.
The local traction shares were neglected
during the greater part of the day. and
the only news relating to those securities
was furnished in the annual report of the
New York City Railway Company. which
showed a reduction in the deficit, after all
charges against net income. of about %
per cent.

Color Work Grows Popular.

Inch by inch, color work is encroaching
upon the province of all-white embroidery,
showing itself especially strong in table
covers and their little cousins, which seem
like nothing In the world but great center
pieces.
Art nouveau and renaissance ideas have
been combined, to mutual benefit, for the
designs, even in pieces that rank as Rus
sian or French or eastern, or as anything
else.
One stunning cover Of natural-colored lin
en- was apparently embroidered solid in red,
the big, effective design looking as though
1t represented lots and lots of work. 1t
didn't. though. for outlining was the only
stitch used, row after row Of 1t filling in
the design, and the heavy rope-silk doing
it's share to minimize the work Of that fill
ing by working up heavily.

To Make EYelets.

There's a new way Of making those trou-
blesome eyelets, discovered by a girl who is
locally famous for inventing labor saving
ideas.
1t consists Of running the eyelet around
and then cutting it from end to end. and
buttOnholing 1t, making the stitches as deep
as those upon the usual buttonhole. but re-
versing the stitch so that the edge stitches
back upon the material instead of around
the open edge Of the eyelet.
1t Is about one-fifth as hard to do as the
usual way: and the difference in length Of
time Is even more marked.

Dill. Pickles.

Take big stone crock or a keg without
head. Select cucumbers from six to
eight inches in length. wash and wipe care
fully. Boil together three gallons water
and two pounds coarse salt. Skim. II any
water has evaporated during the betting

quantity. Lay the cucumbers in the bot
tom Of the jar or key. with a small red
pepper. a bunch Of dill seed In stalk and a
layer Of grape leaves to cover. Proceed
in this way until the vessel Is filed, top
ping all with layer Of cabbage leaves. On
the very top put a good big stone to keep
the pickles under the brine: Pour In the
salt and water still hot. and let the vessel
stand until a quiet fermentation takes
place. In two or three weeks the cucum-
bers will be transparent. like amber, with
