 No, 1 guess not, insisted Mrs. Penny. "Tll be better at home. think likes not twas that heavy seed cake set on my stummick"
 Phoebe hid her face behind the cof- fee-pot, but said nothing
 As the tip of the funereal bonnet worn by the old woman disappeared over the hill which lay between the house and the main road, Mrs. Wig gers quaintly gowned figure made it's appearance at the gate. Phoebe dressed in a blue-and-white gingEam stood in the open door. She was shading her eyes with her hand, and her face was wreathed in smiles.
 Who's that Josiahs drivin' off in the buggy?" asked the viistor, sitting down on the lower step of the back piazza, and moving violently to and fro the palm-leaf fan she carried.
 Its mother-fn-law." replied the girl She looked mischievously at the old lady, and added: She's got sick spell
 The piercing black eyes of the elder woman were turned full on Phoebes s face
 "Cake?" she asked, tersely.
 Mrs Penny nodded
 "H'm," exclaimed Mrs. Wigger, in telligently. Well, I'm right glad you done it." She shook all over with suppressed laughter.
 AS Josiah returned after long and dusty ride. to his home, he met Mrs. Wigger leaving the house She stopped and, holding out blackmittened hand, remarked
 Its drefful pity wour mother had to go home right in the middle of her visit
 Josiah looked quizzically at his wife and, giving nervous hitch to his trousers, stammered;
 Yes, vest; so 'tis drefful pity"
 Then. as he walked into the cheery kitchen and the appetizing odor of freshly-made gingerbread greeted his nostrils, he expanded his chest and drew long breath
 Whats the matter, Josiah?" asked Phoebe, smiling at him from behind d large dish of potatoes that she was placing upon the table

Many women have been obliged or have preferred to replace long silk gloves, not by new pair, but by short ones, which they sew to the perfectly good arms of the old ones.
 This seam, however, makes an un. slightly line, which immediately pro claims economy to all the world. One clever woman crocheted instead of sewing the parts together.
 The crocheted band was in a pretty pattern, and of silk to match the gloves in shade, was an ornament in place of blemish, and for months her friends haunted the stores in a vain. search for counterpart.
 Not only does the crocheting im- prove the appearance of the old gloves, but it also lengthens them, and relieves that distressingly "short" feeling often present in inexpensive kinds.

DARKER sLoUsEs ARE MopIsH
Change in Style That Has Much to
 Recommend 1t.

There are innovations in the prov ince of the ready-made blouse this sea son. Heretofore it has been possible to buy white blouses of silk, satin, crepe, chiffon, or lace in almost any degree of elegance, but the dark blouse has usually been of the sim plest sort, clinging to shirtwaist lines or departing from them with unsatis- factory results. The woman who wanted a truly smart dark blouse for wear with trotting frock was obliged to have it made, and even then more often failed than not.
 For some time past the heavy dur able chiffon known as chiffon cloth has been first favorite for the costume blouse, being sheer enough for com fort in our overloaded buildings, of fering possibilities of daintiness and dressiness. yet practical for all that Dyed nets and laces also claimed at tention as blouse materials. and after them came the soft silks and crepes.s
 This fall blousemakers who supply the ready-made models have been in spired to offer to their trade blouses of chiffon cloth, thin voile, net and lace in dark colors-blues, browns, greens,

eyes meditatively on little closet, the door of which stood invitingly open, revealing shelf after shelf of neatly arranged dishes and glass jars con- taining preserves. She arose, and walking to it, stood for some time ex- amining the labels on the jars, finally pausing with her hand on one which was marked "Caraway seeds" Taking it down with hauf smile on her lips, she glanced over her shoulder through the door into the next room. Then crossing the floor she noiselessly closed it, and after rolling up her sleeves opened all the draughts in the stove.
 When Josiah came in to ask his wife for a pair of scissors about an hour later, he was surprised to hear her voice singing. while with delft fingers she was taking from the oven a beautifully Drowned cake.
 That night at supper Josiah lifted the snowy cover of the old-fashioned silver cake-basket and pushed 1t to- ward his mother. Pride shone in his eye.

 collar The height of the collar, front and back, is next decided on. usually making it half inch or more higher at the back
 Mark the height for the front on the edge of the paper (which represents the fold of the materiaD, then meas ure across the bottom edge the num- Der of inches for half of the neck measure and make a dot. Measure straight up from this dot from one half to one inch and put a mark there. Draw line slightly curved from this mark to the bottom edge of the pa per in the middle of the front. This will give the lower edge of the collar. Measure up in the middle of the back, from the height it is to be in the back, put a dot there, then meas ure from the dot, marking the height in the middle of the front, to the
 height" point in the middle of the back and put a dot where the right size for the top of the collar comes. Connect the top and bottom in the middle back by a straight line, then draw a line (curving slightly, like the | bottom one), connecting the two i points at the top. This can be cut out and used as pattern. This pat | tern does not allow for any tapping, so if the waist buttons half the width of the hem must be allowed beyond the middle of the back. Cut the cloth out exactly as the pattern was made, putting the middle of the front of the pattern on a straight fold of the goods, and allow sufficient for seams all around.
 Square off the corners, turn right side out, and use an ivory stiletto to get the corners well in shape. Holding the waist (wrong side) next to you, pin the middle of the waist to the mid dle of the collar, then pin the collar and waist together at the ends and baste carefully together, then stitch on the machine, after which the seam should be clipped nearly to the stitch ing at intervals all the way. The neck of the dress is quite curved and this clipping makes it set better; then the wrong side of the collar is clipped on the edge, pasted and hemmed down. Care must be taken not to pucker the material at all.

Some Important Points to Keep in Mind and the Rest Is Easy-Be Careful Not to Let the

To cut a high standing collar with out pattern, or rather to make your own pattern, take the exact measure of your neck, top and bottom, jot down on paper, then draw a pattern like the illustration given. If the collar fastens in the middle of the back, then the middle of the front is on straight fold. One important point to remem-
