Baseball Is assuredly to be miles
better in Fairmont the coming season
than ever before: During the past
two seasons the trouble with the game
in the humble opinion Of the West
virginlau was that there was no head
to the club or rather there were too
many heads. This year Manager Troy
has complete charge Of the team in
all respects, He signs whom he
pleases. This Is not verbal agree
ment but lis embodied in his contract,
which was signed Saturday.

Back stairs.

A woman who found her steep back
stairs as little ornamental as they
were useful has had them converted
into two closets, one opening out Of
her dining room, the other on the
second floor. The steps were removed
bodily and a glass door opened into
the dining room from where they had
been. The space inside she had pan
eled and rows of shelves were built
in, well up to the ceiling. The lower
ones were used for china and the up
per ones for preserves. A small win
dow cut into the side yard admitted
light into what was really a small
shelf-lined room. The whole cost lit
tie. Upstairs capacious linen closet
filled in the vacant space.
Another woman who did not wish to
have the stairs actually taken out had
the upper landing converted into a
closet, but left the stairs underneath,
using them from the first floor as a
store closet for brooms, buckets and
the like.

SKIRT-HANGERS EASILY MADE.
Set Makes an Acceptable and Suit
able Gift for Bride.

A set of clothes-hangers makes an
acceptable gift for a bride, traveller
or a college girl. The set consists Of
waist and skirt hangers-a dozen Of
each. The best waist-hangers are
those of coppered wire, found at any
furnishing store. They should be
wound with narrow ribbon, finished
with a tiny bow at each shoulder end.
The skirt-hangers are easily made at
home. Take an inch strip of pine
wood. Cut it into eight-inch lengths.
Wind these also with ribbon. Screw
into the middle of the upper edge a
fairly large-sized brass cup-hook, and
two cup-hooks of smaller size near the
ends of the lower edge to hold the
loops of the skirt-band. Many closets
now are provided with small brass
rod fastened across at a convenient
height. The hangers are hooked on
this. Closets sometimes have shelf
running across for the entire length.
In that case three large cup-hooks can
be screwed to the under side, to hold
any sort of a rod, from brass to broom
stick. 1t is astonishing what num-
Der of waists and skirts can be hung
without crowding on a rod four feet
long.

Not What He Was Used To,

Ever since John D. Rockefeller be.
came an honorary member of the
American Press Humorists' associa.
ton stories more or less apocryphal
have been afloat regarding him. 1t is
beginning to be suspected that some
of them have been invented by his
fellow humorists. One of the latest
refers to an occasion last summer
when he entertained a lot of slum
children at his stock farm near Cleve-
land. Mr.. Rockefeller gave each of
them, among other things, some milk
to drink, part of it at least being the
product of a $4,000 prize cow. How
do you like it?" he asked when they
had finished. Gee, it's f1ne!" re-
sponded one little. fellow, who added
after a thoughtful pause: Il wisht
our milkman KEEP cow!"

Women's Waists for Winter Wear

repousse lace, eyelet needlework and
fancy galloon, and also in crepe de
Chine with hand embroidery. Wide
and narrow tucks are being shown on
the up-to-date shirt waists. One eff
fective method of treatment is a
group of fine tucks taken up at each
side of the back turn from the center
and continued to the waist line. Two
similar groups are arranged at the
front, where wider ones are also made.
the first two extending to the lower
edge while the others terminate at
yoke depth, allowing the fullness to
remain free over the bust.
When blouses are made of glace
silk the best effect is obtained when
they are made plain. In our illustra-
ton we show a waist made of cream
glace, which is of the simplest posi-.
BILE pattern fastened at the back. The
trimming consists of box-pleat up
the center of the front and a square
cut piece at the neck. Both these are
edged with silk frills headed by mar
row insertion. The sleeves are gath.
cred into the armhole, and below the
elbow into a bard that is finished by
a frill. The fastening is down the
back.
AS a becoming hat for this shirt
waist Tuscan hat trimmed with rib.
bon and an osprey plume is effective.
The materials required for the
blouse are four yards of silk % inches
wide and three yards of frilling.

three-quarter coat in Louis XVII. style,
had some handsome silk embroideries
on the pockets and on the large cuffs
and the lining was of black and white
taffetas in narrow stripes. The en-
broideries were worked in silks which
matched exactly the cloth and the
whole effect was most original and
attractive. Another walking gown of
the same genre was made of pearl
gray serge, with elaborate machine
stitchings on the round skirt and on
the cuffs and pockets of the coat; in
this case the coat was lined with the
new gray-blue satin and there were
some lovely buttons, in Art Nouveau
style, of gray-blue enamel and dull
silver. Round skirts will be more
worn than ever this autumn-especial-
ly with three-quarter coats; it would
seem as if these important looking
garments ought to be accompanied by
a trained skirt; but no, they look ex-
ceedingly smart and trim with a we'll

taffetas; round this crown length Of
ribbon is twisted and tied in a large
bow at the left side, towards the front,
and the hat is raised on an amazingly
high bandeau-the latter covered with
loops of ribbon. With these hats the
hair is worn rather low on the top Of
the head and arranged in curls at The
back in Greek style; the high ban
deau in this way rests right on the
head and the hat is tilted at the de-
sired angle. Quite the best of the
autumn hats so far are guiltless of
feathers or even ospreys; they de-
pend for charm on an immensely full
gathered crown and on the coquettish
angle at which they are worn. In felt
and velvet fancy these hats will look
trifle heavy, but l saw last week two
models which had the brims covered
with the finest silk beaver, the crowns
made of thick taffetas and the ribbons
on the bandeauX of ~velvet-with sew
eral ends falling just behind the ears.

WHEN EGGS ARE SCARCE.
Ways In Which Housekeepers Can
Econonfize in Their Uuse.

The housekeeper expects eggs to be
high at holiday time, just when she
wants to make extra good things, but
to Offset this condition the cold wealth
er allows more sugar and fat in food,
and the lack of eggs is not quite SO
serious as it might be. When eggs
are nearly 40 cents a dozen at the be-
ginning of September, as they were
this year in the large cities, the price
has decided influence on the daily
menu. The first point in which to be-
gin economy of eggs is in serving
them as substitute for meat. Some
thing at less cost can temporarily be
taken by giving the matter a little
thought, although eggs are so staple
part Of the usual breakfast as to
come first to mind.
When eggs are scarce it is not nee
essary to make ten egg sponge or
angel cake; neither is it wise to scrimp
too much by using baking powder to
take the place of eggs. If recipe
calls for certain number, do not take
out one or two and expect to have a
Satisfactorily IcSull, LUZ IuS plOpOl Iioh

greater wisdom to select a recipe in
which the number of eggs is smaller.
mo egg cake" is seldom satisfactory,
but there are many good cakes made
with but two eggs. Raised hot breads
can for time take the place Of muf-
fins and other breakfast cakes made
with eggs, yet even here it may not be
wise to entirely omit them, for pan
of light, feathery mullins wiz all be
eaten, but if made without eggs two
or three of the cakes are likely to be
wasted. 1t takes but small per cent.
of waste in this way to turn cookery
that was intended to be very economi-
cal into extravaganza.

The Popularity Of the TaiIor-Made Gown

At the present moment the tailor
made gowns loom large on the horizon
Of the fashionable woman's sky, and
some of the newest models are charm
ing. I have been specially captivated
with the three-quarter length Louis
XVII. coats, which will be so very
fashionable this coming winter. They
are eminently becoming to well-set up
figures, and they have careless grace
which is all their own. These coats
are shaped to the figure, yet they give
the impression of looseness; they are
rarely worn fastened in any way in
front, and they fit after the manner
of a driving glove; moulded to the
figure, and yet-loose.
One of the new models which won
my unqualified approval was composed
of chiffon-cloth in pastel pink-a dull
shade which had in it touch of
mauve as well as salmon. The round
skirt cleared the ground and was set
in at pleats-the latter being neatly
stitched down from waist to hips; the
