CHANGEABLE SILK
 FOUNDATION SKIRTS

Where to place the changeahle silk looked like a problem, until it was discovered that it gave beautiful ef- feet as a foundation when covered with some shimmering white material. It has beautifying effect with white which makes the outer garment rich- CT in appearance. A good chanseableI silk which is splendid for foundation purposes Is a mingled color of gray and pink. The gray must be almost white, which reflects pinkish tone;I steel blue and pink is pretty, while Copenhagen blue and silver is extreme ly handsome. Only very light tints should be worn with white, though ruby and plum is lovely shade to wear under black net dress. Cream and yellow is a rich color for the foundation to a white nlousseline, and when the outer garment is rightly or- namented with wide lace insertion and large medallions on the flounee, theI openwork is picturesque in shadowingI the uncertain yellow tinge beneath.

>ed shoulder cap running under the two bands, and this and the skirt panels are ornamented with crochet buttons and loops to match in color, The sleeves are of finely tucked cloth and the square-necked guimpe of lace.
 There are also nice frocks of check ed and striped woolens made in some of the many good plaited models, and cashmere is a fairly satisfactory ma terial for school dresses. Of course, the well-cut separate skirt with shirt waist of cotton, linen, shantung or light wool makes a costume always in order for this purpose.
 A serviceable and smart wooden cape is an invaluable addition to any school girls outfit.
 The choice of hats is an easy matter --one of the soft felts for everyday wear, in pale blue, white, champagne or gray, cooked in front or on the side, with wings or a feather pompon and draped with soft fold of silk all in the same color as the hat, and for state occasions a rather broad, droop- ing hat covered with immense rosettes of velvet, in varying shades or one color or with feathers

COURT PLASTER
FOR MENDING

. In mending articles with court-plas- ter, never apply while the latter is wet. Wait few seconds until it gets sticky, then there is no danger of moisture penetrating the goods to make soiled place on the right side, as many have experienced while mending in this manner. Turn the right side toward you, lay on it clean cloth and iron perfectly smooth. If any frayed pieces are noticeable, clip those with a pair of scissors. Mending tissue can be pasted into place, as the basting threads are easily drawn out. To take out hem put in with gum tissue, it is only necessary to run a warm iron over the goods and the material is easily pulled apart

one teaspoon baking powder in flour. Bake in hot buttered gem pans.
 Quaker oats should be prepared the night previous. Cook as directed for ten or fifteen minutes then turn into a tin bucket, cover with tight lid wrap in several papers, then in bread cloth, set away in pantry. Will cook in it's own heat and requires but lit- tie cooking in the morning.
 Oyster Omclet-Beat separately the whites and yolks of five eggs. Soak one cup of fine bread crumbs in one cup of milk with a little salt, add one cup of chopped oysters drained and seasoned; lastly the stiffiy beat en whites, Fry in buttered pan.
 Russian Bear Pickles Excellent. Eight large, ripe cucumbers: peel, re- move seeds, cut in inch dice, soak in salt water over night, drain, cook ten or fifteen minutes. Take six medium sized white onions, four punches of celery, clean and cut in dice and boil ten minutes; drain and mix all to- gether with the cucumbers Have six large green peppers cut ill dice, with seeds removed, Mix through the oth- CT ingredients; cover all with a pickle of white vinegar, white sugar, a little cloves, cinnamon and spice tied in cheesecloth and boiled in it, with a tablespoonful of grated horse-radish and the same of celery seed. Set away for twenty-four hours. Repeat the boiling three mornings. Very dainty white and green chowchow.
 Pea Sausage-Soak dried split peas over night in cold water, in the morn ing drain and boil in plenty of salted water ia teaspoonful of salt to a quart) until soft enough to be rubbed through sieve. When nearly done allow the water to boil off-they should be the consistency of heavy batter after being passed through the sieve. To each pound of cooked peas and an ounce of boiled salt pork, fat and lean, chopped fine, and 8 salt spoonful of pepper Stuff in sausage, castings to. be well dried in a warm oven. Keep in a cool, dry place To serve: Drop into cold water and bring to a boil for fifteen minutes. A sub- stantial breakfast should be taken on cold mornings, leaving the lighter meal for the middle of the day.
 Pear and Rarberry Preserves-Now that the barberries have been thor oughly touched with the frost is the time to make preserves and jelly of them. Pick over and wash two quarts of the berries, add water to nearly cover and stew them half an hour; mash we'll, then turn into 8 cheesecloth bag to drain out all the juice. Measure the juice and place on to boil, adding pint of sugar to a pint Of liquid, and while boiling skim well, then add quart of peeled and sliced hard pears and cook til tender, turning over often; skim out into glass jars. Boil down the sirup and strain over the fruit. then seal. A much greater quantity should be made of this delicious preserve if the family is large.

Some Information Regard ing Styles of Hats,

Very heavy trimmings of the gilt gimp, gallon and passementario order are being used. They are generally in black,
 The use of genuine hand-embroid- cred bands in Japanese and Chinese design has awakened an interest in maehine-made trimmings of this nature. Many beautiful trimmings have been produced in stimulation of the Japanese embroidery These embroideries usually have gold or sil- yer threads mixed In among the gay colors, characteristic of Oriental de- signs, and this makes them very handsome.

O pluO oiilohC iloSS run u, lO SHOW it is absolutely boiling. Too low temperature means greasy indigestl- ble frying
 Don't attempt to fry anything until the lard is first tested on a, piece of stale bread. If it turns clear gold en brown at once you are safe in be- ginning.
 Don't use lard unless you are ab- solutely sure it is pure, and then don't use it for anything except meat balls, deviled crabs and such things as need deep frying, if you possibly can af- | ford butter or olive oil
 Don't forget to clarify and strain your fat after 1t has been used and save it for next time, Only wasteful cook throws away her frying ma- terial after 1t has done duty but once.
 Don't forget to have heavy brown paper in a colander on top of the range, and put your fried things into it as soon as done The paper ab- soTbs any superhuous grease.
 Don't neglect to save your cuttings from steaks, chops roasts and other meats They make the incest possi- ble frying mediums.
 Don't put frying pan away dirty If the grease gets cold in it the next thing cooked in the pan will undoubt- edly be spoiled.
 Don't fail to remember that for the blackened, burned frying pan there Is but one remedy-to buy new one. If yeu cannot afford it, buy it any how, and learn to be more careful in the future.
 Cut groove along the side of the cork of medicine bottle; put back in the bottle, and 1t will be easy to count the drops one by one without pouring too fast.
 To make an iron run smoothly, get some leaves from evergreen trees. Rub hot iron on them. and they will iron without sticking to starched clothes This is used in old Virginia. Leaves may be dried for use.
 Furs that have become flat and oily looking about the neck may be made fresh and like new by rubbing the fur the wrong way with hot bran. Fnrs that have been wet should never be hung in front of stove or an open fire to dry.
 For mud stains on dresses dissolve little carbonate of soda in water and with it wash the mud stains, An other plan Is to rub the stains with a cut raw potato, afterward removing the potato juice by rubbing it with a flannel dipped in water
 It is a good idea to save all lids from fruit baskets to use as mats on kitchen tables under the tea kettle and hot vessels or as trays upon which to place jars when canning vegetables or fruit in boiling water in large vessel. They can be burned when soiled.
 It Is sometimes difficult matter to find an appropriate place in which to beat rugs when living in cities or large towns. Take an old spring mattress, place it on the sidewalk, lay the rug face down on this and beat All the dirt will fall through and may be swept away.

best for cleaning the glass of pictures and do not require the care that wa ter does when used for this purpose. If the water leaks through some un- seen crack or crevice and finds its way on to the picture it will leave a stain or mark. while the three former will dry at once and leave no stain or mark whatever; and at the same time they will be found to give the glass a brilliant polish without rubbing.

THE SCHOOL GIRLS
 WINT ER BROCK
The Blouse and Skirt or Princess Model Share
 Equal Popularity.

The little blouse and skirt frock is the accepted model for the small girl old enough to so to school. The little skirts are usually plain front, often laid in box plait and are from there kilted all around or else tucked on the hips at intervals or in clusters. Woolen materials look little clumsy gathered into the belt. The bottom of the skirt is finished with plain hem or with a single fold of the material
 The blouses, unless they are in the regulation plaited model, which ex- tends to the neck, are nearly always opened in some ingenious way over a bright silk. One rather unusual little frock seen on dainty little maid was made in what used to be known as gabrielle fashion, the front of bright plaid coming straight up from the hem of the skirt in solid piece, which broadens over the shoulders. Under this were shoulder caps.
 Serges, cashmeres and lightweight checked and plaid woolens are used for these little gowns with eordings and trimmings of plaid or plain silks, Plain, loose little cloth coats in dark blue, red, brown or tan will be worn and rather more dressy model re- gently seen was os tan broadcloth It was ornamented with bands of brown and tan striped silk and number of large brown pearl buttons

Other imported novelties show the use of cretonne in the form of ap- plique and in bandlngs, and also for the very ornate vests which character ize some of the most extreme models in wraps.
 Broad bands of cretonne yelled with chiffon are used by Paris design CTS as trimmings on foundation skirts of handsome net and lace costumes.
 Black spangled trimmings in novel effects will be popular for silk gowns this season, Black passementerles in new designs arc also shown.
 Owing to. the somber colors of many of the new materials and the mixture of black in many fancy fabrics, black trimming will be used greatly. Colors and shades have never been more perfect more varied and more artistic than they are at present. There is quite a furore for all shades of mauve, heliotrope, violet and purple; the latest effective combinations of, colors appear to be mauve and blue, not in light tones, but beautiful Parma mauve and full-toned blue
 Hats are more and more huge they are certainly becoming, but it seems almost time now to cry halt and to return to more reasonable dimen- sions. The most curious harmonies are achieved in millinery such as Natter blue and mole brown, green and vio- let, gray and brown, flame red and :, black.
 The brims of some hats are slight ly folded lover on one side or in front; others are quite round The crowns are not very high, usually round, but they are not visible. as rule, being covered with huge choux of panne or velvet in one or two shades, or mass es of soft surah silk with fringed edges. or else completely concealed with bushes of light feathers, aigrette, ostrich and cocks feathers, which dart forth on all sides with the great est darting. Autumn leaves, also are being used in a similar way,
 Nothing definite has been decided about sleeves, and both long and short sleeves will be worn this win ter; the lower part of long sleeves are often transparent
 The smartest belts for the coming season are rather broad, made of embroidered satin, and both edges of the belt are bordered with half an inch or so of black satin, stitched finely onsto the embroidery; the edg- ing must always correspond with the gown worn. With these belts are worn broad square buckles, chased and enameled in dark blue or black on gold, green, pale blue and mauve.

For the dressy litle gown which all girls should have there is no material more modish than broadcloth. Voiles are much used and fine cashmeres and henriettas have their advocates, but broadcloths in light coIors, even when made with scarcely any trimming, have an air of distinction which is scarcely equaled even by velvet, though the latter material is sure to be used, as it always has been for such gowns later in the year.
 For older girls princess models will still have some favor. A very charm ing design in dull light blue cloth is trimmed simply with bands of the ma terial tucked in pinhead tucks, with a narrow binding on either edge. These bands are disposed in two long lines from the shoulder to the hem of the skirt, where they continue around it's edge. They are separated on the shoul- der, come together at the waist and separate again to form panel at the front of the skirt, which opens over plain cloth.
