FOR A STORMY DAY.

Given a stormy day and one girl
not well enough to wade through
storms for meals. what can be done?
Here is stormy Sunday dinner
prepared on a one-burner stove con-
nected by rubber tube. and with
dishes kept in a tiny cupboard. A
visit to the nearest grocer on Satur-
day evening was made, and for din
ner they had boiled potatoes cooked
in an agate pail. While these kept
hot some tiny canned lima beans
were heated in butter and water and
a spoonful of cream condensed
cream for the beans needed just a
bit of sweetening. A spoonful of
-four was added to thicken the sauce
and some salt and pepper. A can of
kippered herring was the fish dish.
Good bread was buttered, and there
were pickles. Meanwhile water was
boiled for tea and ready for dessert,
which was cake and fresh fruit. This
fruit happened to be bananas, be-
cause the grocer forgot to send the
canned apricots ordered. The dinner
was prepared in a few minutes and
enjoyed. and with some nuts and

complexion, and from present indica-
tions will be popular shade of the
winter. In the novelty silks which
are striped when they are not check
ed or polka dotted are seen some
stunning effects in browns, blues and
yellows combined with white. The
striped silks may be made to trim
themselves by means of transversely
used bands. The plain pongee,
sedos and orkedos are also in high
favor for early autumn costumes and
are being made UP about equally with
long or short skirt trimmed with one
broad or a succession of bias bands,
and with lace-yoked waists with or
nate short sleeves.
Girdles are not quite so wide as
they were but are none the less care
fully featherboned. On the autumn
frocks of light silk, many of the
crush girdles are of velvet Of the
same shade as the garment or OF
black, in order to give just the touch
of somberness which the French con-
slider necessary. A sash always adds
to the girlish appearance of cos
tune and they are frequently made
of silk with lace ends, on the trans
parent gowns, and of heavy lace
lined with silk on gowns of thicker
fabrics, the lace, of course, matching
that used elsewhere as trimming.
Black and darkly colored straw and
chip hats prevail among those intend
ed for late summer and on them are
used the autumn flowers which are
in class by themselves and never
seen at other seasons. Gloves and
wells and shoes carry out the color
scheme of the walking costume as
nearly as is possible and for runabout
purposes the glossee brown kid is
preferred.

A NOVEL entertainment

The most novel entertainment in
the way of an affair for children was
sand" party, given by a mother
for her little girls third birthday. 1t
was at the seashore, a lovely beach,
but the idea is applicable to any one
having a sand pile in the back yard,
or the children could go to lake,
where the sand is usually clean anI
dry If not after a recent rain.
Previous to the arrival OF the lit
tie guests make huge mound of
sand, in 1t hiding all sorts of treas
ures. Articles may be found at the
and 10 cent stores, at the favor
counters and at Japanese stores.
When the children arrive give each
one small shovel, such as come with
tin pals for cents. Stick as many
flags in the sand as there are chill
dren and tell each one to choose a
flag and begin digging at that spot.
AS the treasures are found the ex-
citement becomes intense. After all
have dug up two, three or four OBJ
jects, as i--e limit may be, the pals
are produced and the party" will
proceed to amuse themselves. Serve
a regular picnic supper, with the
addition of a birthday cake and ice
cream.

candles is to have the usual number

Coats are growing longer as the
days shorten and there is tendency
toward the clinging or closely fitting

garded askance by her sister to whom
nature has been ungenerous in the
matter of avoirdupois. But for many
moon the thin woman has had her
day and now that less voluminous
wrappings are coming into vogue she
must content herself with the belted
blouse which defines the waist and
furnishes her with the overskirt for
which she long has sighed. The belt
ed blouse is fashionable whether Sc
verely plain or elaborately trimmed.
It may have long sleeves ending in
wide, turned-over cuffs and may be
fastened from beneath the chin, or IL
may be secured at the left shoulder
with buttons that cross the breast
diagonally. In some of these blouses
the front and back are laid in either
wide or narrow side plaits, according
to the material employed, and they
have three-quarter sleeves, tucked
horizontally and set into mandarin
arm size.
Silk frocks are emphatically a fea-
ture of early autumn, for they are
neither too thin nor too heavy for
comfort, and so numerous are the
bargains advertised in fabrics of this
nature that 1t would seem as though
every woman In any walk of life
might be able to realize her day

Fish should be buttered and sprlnkled with
flour. which will prevent the skin from ad-

things which need to be halved should be
broiled inside first. Remember that a hot
clear fire is necessary for cooking all small
articles. They should be turned often to
be cooked evenly. without being burned
Never put your fork in the lean part of
meat on the gridiron as It allows the Juice
to escape. Cover the gridiron with a tin
pan or a baking pan. The sooner the meat
is cooked without burning the better; the
pan holds the heat and often prevents a

What is the matter with this

several causes. Sometimes it Is in
digestion; or, perhaps, some of her
friends have gone back on her: or
there may be real money or bereaye-

this mourning habit.
The longer she gives up to it the
worse off she is; the longer she
mopes the longer she ants TO none

deep-set and chronic matter that 1t

Is there cure for it? There sure

slang expression not at all new, "For-

Sympathize with the moper around
