an edge of vivid color, like tomato
red or burnt orange. Mind you. the
bright tones are merely threads.
Avoid those that are broad or dis
tinct, unless you are a young girl; then
choose these purposely and match the
color in wide turnover collar and
broad. fitted cuffs. edging each with a
Grecian key formed OF soutache, fiat
gold or silver braid.
When a blouse suit is made in this
combination it is better not to add the
bright, plain color in any part Let
the variegated and colorful stripes be
the only trimming and add a belt OF
narrow patent leather with small OBJ
long gilt buckle.
The broad single stripes will again
be used. especially for the between
seasons suits. but the majority of wo
men probably cannot afford such a
luxury. These are especially the fash
ion in two tones of gray. They are
only suitable for slender, graceful fig
ures, and like the coin spot, they are
UNIVERSAL; probably too much so for
the woman who does not want to have
gown just like every one else has.
How are the new skirts made? Plati-
ed. More 50 than ever. If that is pos
sible. Every kind of plat is used for
all skirts except those for house and
social occasions. In these, fashion has
swung far toward severe cut and line;
circular I with seam down front and
long, full folds falling around the
feet.
The street skirts, which include those
worn In the house In the morning
with shirtwaists, are cut up into so
many cores that the economical buy
er will sigh. 1t is not possible to alter
1t. 1t must always be worn as 1t is.
The simplest pattern is cut fifteen
cores, each gore forming a box plat,
the front gore having plat in the
center. It. clears the ground by over
two inches and has a deep hem with a
bias fold two inches above it.
| The more elaborate style, which is a
relief from the plain plaits, II one
wants relief, has seventeen cores, each
cut in a curve and Tapped over the
preceding gore. The curves are shall
low and cut into the cores at different
lengths higher at back than front,
thus forming steps from knees to the
| belt at back.

much exercise. and should not over
tax their strength.
The strength is sustained by rub
bling twice a day. with 80 per cent
alcohol; this is absorbed in the pores
of the skin and Is both invigorating
and strengthening. Then after the daily
bath. you may rub with cocoa butter,
or cold cream; this also helps nourish
the flesh and skin and is absorbed
through the pores OF the skin.
A gentle massage once a day. will
help develop and strengthen the mus
cles. The convalescense of typhoid is
slow and long and tedious, because APP
parently there is little noticeable gain.
But do not get discouraged for i'm
provement is going on all the time. You
can measure the convalescence by the
time of the Illness. say your patient
has been Ill for six weeks. you must
then expect the convalescence to take
six weeks. and so on.
The patient should not resume bust
ness. or the normal life until she feels
absolutely well and strong and like
herself. 1t is said that after an at
tack of typhoid, the patient when re
covered will be better and stronger
than ever, this will be so. If enough
time care and thought is given to the
convalescence, otherwise. the general
health Will not be regained.
How often do we hear some one say
Il have never felt strong and well since
had typhoid fever. because 1 went

as possible when convalescing. Have q
chair always ready on the piazza, OF

the piazza, or the lawn. or wherever
there is good air and pleasant sur
roundings.

CARING FOR THE TYPHOID
PATIENT

Avoid a relapse with a convalescing
typhoid patient If possible. The sec
ond attack is worse than the first gen
orally, as the patient is already weak
ened by a siege of fever. The two
things to do is, first to keep the patient
quiet, that is, not to walk about the
room. but to stay in bed a week after
the fever has left. In this way you
give the intestines time to heal and
get strong before they are put to &C
tive use again.
The diet must be kept strictly fluid
or semi-f1uid for one week after the
fever has left. BY semi fluid I mean
very soft-boiled eggs, milk toast, and
well-made soups, strained.
The patients strength should be in
creased by giving a milk punch once
a day, that is a glass OF milk contain
ing a tablespoonful of whisky. that
could be given between breakfast and
lunch. say at II o'clock in the morning
between lunch and dinner, say or 5

FASHION FANCIES

We are getting more sensible in
changing our clothes by the weather.
not by the almanac 1t is no longer ne
cessary to put on a worsted suit be-
cause ii IS the first of October. This
is especially true of this fall, because
thin frocks with long top coats carry
woman through until Christmas If
she doesn't care to invest in a new
coat or skirt.
But in the first cool days everyone's
thoughts go out to the new ideas de.
signed for that most important OF all
first purchases-the worsted suit Even
/ If every woman doesn't buy, she wants
to know all about the details. for she
is then full of knowledge when it comes
her time TO purchase.
| First, the blouse suit of a weight
comfortable enough for the house and
in a dark shade, such as gray. blue.
black and black and white striped is
to be widely worn on the street under
the weIl-cut top coat of a better fit and
of softer material than the rough. loose
garment that took the place of the
/ ever ugly rain coat of duh cravendtte
or covert cloth
| This wearing of blouse suits. how
ever. does not eliminate the need OF a
coat suit. either one for church or call
ing, or the more serviceabIe one for
office or morning shopping Thous-
ands of purses can only afford the one
suit, but more often than not the suit
of last season can be made to serve as
| second best. even If necessity compels
one TO alter it.
| Personally, l am much against the
absorbing habit of altering" which
seems to have a pretty tight grip on
American sewing rooms, even in cases
where women are well-to-do
If one has the primary habit of buy
| ing every new article that comes out
in clothes, the secondary habit of eter-
nal altering is essential. This refers
to people of small means. The one
thing all but the rich should avoid is
experimenting with clothes.
Know yourself. Study your lines and
colors. Then keep to them. only modi-
flying them enough to be we'll gowned.
So, to return to the suit OF last win
ter: If you look sufficiently well in 1t
as it is, let it alone. Don't go to the
trouble of dyeing and reshaping it.
There may be minor details which you
can arrange to be more in keeping with
this years fashions, but be sure to take
from, not add.
When choosing your new fall coat
and skirt take into consideration the
fact that II you must wear it for two
or more seasons. you want to do 1t
without altering.
Among the designs that will domin7
ate and which are in excellent taste
are the striped worsted cloths the
soft broadcloths.
The design is called the thousand
stripe, and these marks are so fine that
they can be worn by any figure, slight
or stout. When used for blouse suits
which is done with the very thin
weight, or for ordinary coat suits. the
trimming is also OF stripes cut on the
bias. But the novelty lies in the fact
that these added stripes are of a diff
ferent color from the suit, but har-
monize.
The background is the same, SO there
is clash of colors or even tones
there, but the dull toned stripes have

wall, which was below the street, were
three green painted safes fast locked
but the opposite wall had IN 1t the

were rusty, though strong. The atmos-

about Aaron Norman was strange.

Paul could see the shallow fight of
damp steps leading to the yard and

door and came forward He was as
white as a sheet, and his face was
tnickly beaded with perspiration. His
mouth twitched more than usual and
his hands moved nervously Twice as
he advanced toward Paul, who rose to
receive him, did he cast the odd look
over his shoulder. Beecot fancifully
saw in him a man who had committed
some crime and was fearful lest 1t
should be discovered or lest the aveng-
er should suddenly appear. Deborah's
confidential talk had not been without
its effect on the young man. and Paul
