FEARS COAL STRIKE
OPERATORS REJECT ALL PROPO-
SITIGNS OF THE MINERS.
Coal Barons Claim If They Raise

The propositions OF .he United Mine
workers of America for readjustment
of wages and conditions in the an

been rejected by the operators. AS
counter proposition the operators sug-
gest that TIE awards made by the an
thracite coal strikes commission, the
principles upon which they are estab-
lished by the commission and the
methods established for carrying out
their findings and awards, shall be con-
'tinued for further term of three years

Mitchell o. the United Mineworkers,
acting for the miners, and George F.

operators, discusses the miners propo-
sitions in detail. In every instance the
contention is made by the operators
either that conditions in the coalfields
do not warrant the change proposed
by the miners, or that the questions at
issue already have been passed upon
by the strike commission.

Complexion Washes of
Natures Providing

"HERE is no one point which women
notice and criticise more in each
other than the color and texture of
skins. In this matter men are less observ-
Ing, womans expression and the manner
in which she holds her head making upon
them a stronger impression. This is per-
haps because they do not realize the beau
tifying power Of clear, unblemished skin.
1t is, indeed. more the transparent quality
of a skin and its freedom from blemishes
which make 1t attractive than its pure
wilderness, Its ivory tint or olive tone. And
even when nature has bestowed a beautiful
skin 1t takes time and care to keep it in
good condition.
1t is said by English women that their
American sisters do not always keep their
faces clean. This often Is true, the pow
der puff being used instead of the wash
cloth. Indeed, in city where CRIME and
dust prevail 1t Is astonishing the amount
Of actual washing that the face requires.
When this is neglected small particles of
dust become Embedded in the skin and
later produce biemishes. It fs then often
difficult matter to get rid of them.
The habit Of washing the face at least
twice day in buttermilk Is an excellent
one. as there is in buttermilk q cleansing
power as well as an acid quality which is
exceedingly beneficial for the skin. 1t is
said. moreover, to keep the face from be-
coming hard and wrinkled after washing
The frequent use of buttermilk as q wash
keeps the pore of the skin somewhat closed,
giving 1t smoother texture than it would
otherwise have.
Vinegar is preferred to buttermilk as q
skin wash by many women. It is used,
however, in slightly different way. The
body in vinegar and salt. About a cupful
of salt Is first dissolved in quart OF vine-
gar, and this is used to sponge the body

on Thanksgiving day first catch your
hare" in other words, first select a good
bird at the market and then see that it is
cooked and basted properly. 1t Is the best
plan to shop for the feast at least two days
beforehand, for If one waits until the day
before all the best birds will be picked out
and only the tougher fowls will be left. A
young turkey sould have smooth black
legs and a white skin and should weigh at
least twelve pounds to be juicy and of good
flavor. Very scaly, rough legs indicate age,
as do also legs that are hard, for young
fowls feet and legs should be pliable.
Another good way to pick out young
turkey Is to examine the spurs, or rather
the place where the spurs grow. A year
old turkey has no spurs, but only fiat
knob at that place. A turkey that has
spur between quarter and half an inch
long is a last years fowl, and one with
fully developed spur is over two years old.
To prepare the bird first SINCE it thor
oughly over saucerful of burning alco-
hol then hold it under the faucet and wipe
dry. Then make a cash down the turkeys
neck, cutting to the bone. fold the skin
back over the breast and lift out the crop
carefully Then turn the turkey on Its
back and make q cut at the end of the
breastbone big enough to insert the finger
and thumb Now draw the turkey. taking
care not to break the gall. Turn the fowl
over again and cut away the oil bag, a tiny
gland that lies right over the tall. Few
people know of It's existence, and it often
spells the flavor of fine bird IL not re-
moved. The turkey should then be washed
again and is ready for the dressing.

the new and old waists in general is that
there seems to be more and more of a
tendency to bar the strictly tailored waist
on all but a few occasions. Its use among
those devoted to the technique Of dress
has now narrowed down to severe morn
ing dress, travelling and athletic dress.
Even for the latter the strictly tailor-made
shirt waist is now being Supplanted by
soft blouses Of flannel
Very thick pongee is also used for ath-
letic blouses-that Is, for shooting, golf1ng
and similar purposes. These are worn with
white pique stocks or stocks of colored
silk with soft white turnovers. This outfit
Is also suitable for wear In business ofnces
or for school girls
For wear with tailored suits the strictly
tailored shirt waists are now made OF fine
liren tucked or pleated, with wide belt,
or as an even newer touch, with very
shallow pique waistcoat. The blouse Is
made very full, and even this order Of
separate waist is not so strictly tailored
but that fancy stock or lace 5abot may

broidered linen. which still continues to
hold its own. 1t Is still fashionable to use
several different sorts Of lace in one blouse
and openwork stitching and embroidery
of every sort seem to be equally in vogue.
Valenciennes and batiste make charming
blouse. The nets are still most popular for
fancy white blouses. which are not ex-
pected to launder, and valenciennes cannot
be surpassed garniture for these fancy
net biouses Mousseline de sole is also
much used for this order of blouse, which
is a little more dressy than the lingerie

fitted. but which does not still quite reach
the dignity of The very handsome separate

a very good skirt with circular sides that

shrinks, in a most disappointing fashion
after a few weeks.
The most expensive cloths this year are
so exquisite in texture and finish as to
insure their popularity. no matter what
color may be chosen. Many of them are
as soft and have as much gloss as satin
and at the time not shiny. In
the light shades they look still more like
satin and are trimmed effectively with
braiding, velvet or bands of fur. In the
darker shades the same trimmings are
used, but a rule it is the lighter cloths
that are the most deliberately trimmed.
The use of velvet is extremely noticeable.

however, is the one color scheme, with just
the relief of contrast in some part OF the
trimmings of the waist or coat.
Extremely graceful are the skirts in the
plain cloth gowns. Made long without ex-
ception they follow closely the lines of
the figure. but are very wide around the
foot In fact, the skirts measure an absurd
width. The princess and. empire style are
to be noticed and yet at the same time are
nothing like as common as they were a
month ago. and are now rather Indicated
than asserted, while the newest gowns OF
all are much more apt to be on the coat

a wide belt so fashioned and fitted as to
appear part of the skirt, giving quite the
effect of the corset skirt or of the princess
gown worn under a jacket. Lace yokes
and sleeves are not new in cloth gowns,
but probably because lace softens and
makes more becoming the cloth, 1t is just
as fashionable as ever to have lace yoke
and either lace sleeves or a great deal of
lace in the sleeves. Under all circum-
stances there must be a lace stock collar
and small chemisette and cuffs of the I'M
lined lace.

Boas and Collars In
Chiffon and Silk

A THOUGH 1t is now time for furs,
~ there are still many occasions on
which chiffon and net scarfs, ruffs
and boas may be worn, and, indeed, there
are some women who do not care for furs
at any time. The shops, therefore, are
showing most charming outdoor neckwear
in shapes and colors in sufficient variety
to afford every woman an opportunity to
make a becoming selection. Among the
most attractive of these neckpieces are the
chiffon scarfs edged with ederdown and
maribou. These are quite wide and long,
in the regular scarf shape and made of
chiffon liberty silk or net--usually, how
ever, ciliffon in fancy weaves-striped, plaid
or figured. and plain or mixed colors is
preferred
The favorite shades are pale pink. pale
blue white, cream ecru, pale gray yell
low. The scarfs are frequently barred
or figured in white, but the contrasts in
color are not vivid Swansdown was orig
inally used to edge them. but now a fairly
wide band of maribou is employed The
scarfs are most suitable for wearing in
any description. These are collarless. Con-
seQuently when the waist is cut out at the
throat some covering Is necessary unless
an additional fur collar Is worn. These
scarfs crushed together around the throat
are. most becoming. as the feather edges
come together very prettily.

possessed of sufficient income not to be
Obliged to stop and consider the question
of expense.
Almost the most economical among the
expensive fashions of the day Is the long
coat that is made like a gown and yet
covers a gown worn underneath 1t. At first
glance it seems though some of these
coats were merely short jackets something
on the empire or princess order. worn over
the empire or princess gown. In reality II

weight that are so extremely fashionable
again this winter. Then there are the long
coats, tight fitting at the back. and, in
fact, tight-itting altogether, excepting just
in front, where the fronts hang straight
These require a perfection of cut and fit
such is demanded by the riding habit,
but they are not in the least on that order

smart require to be quite elaborately trim

the waist and the skirts are very full.

smart garments, but are much more at

the elaborate gown worn with fur wrap Is
more often to be noticed than one that is
trimmed with fur.

Partisan Fancies in

"HIS winters new feature in separate

crate colored separate waists Of several sea-
sons ago. For two years now we have
been told that only white separate waists
were possible, whether for morning wear
In linens or for more elaborate wear in
lace and net, but now the shops are full of
the most marvellous CONNECTIONS In colored
silks. satins, velvets and lace, which are
nothing more than a very elaborate rem

slenderness Of outline.
1t is astonishing how the lines are pre-
served, or rather determined in the cloth
gowns on which there is no trimming at
all. This Is, Of course, accomplished by
the cut and by the seams, and clever
dressmaker or tailor. an artist in his or
her profession, can SO cut princess gown
with a short jacket, or with two or three
short jackets, that the wearer will look
as slender as though she had on a skirt
trimmed with lines Of braid put on in
horizontal bands. All the same, this is
a time when women who have tall, slen-'
der figures can well be contented with
their lot in life, as 1t is far easier for them
to be dressed becomingly than it Is for
stout women who have to consider more
carefully how gown is cut and fashioned.
1t is very interesting to notice how ex-
actly the same material when chosen and
made up and worn by different people
will look so entirely different This is
simply a question of the study of line
and of what is becoming. But this year.
