FALL FABRICS.

THAT the lines of the costume ana
the style of the fabric are today most
closely related is a fact which SHOWS
itself in the fall fabrics" says Grace
Margaret Gould, the fashion editor IN
the September Woman's Home Com
panion. This season we awe more
novelties In the new materials than
ever before. And there is a reason Tor
1t. The tailor-made gown, more or less
mannish in effect, is the height OF fash-
ion. Now, with all the good points
that the tailored suit possesses, II Is
stu very apparent that 1t affords but
small opportunity for a variation in cut
or trimming. Hence, the material OF
which 1t is made must be depended
upon to give the tailored suit much OF
its individuality and style. That the
new materials have been designed with
this end in mind is evident.
"Of course, a tailored suit is the SUIT
for hard wear, and one of the best fab
rics.to select, for it is a worsted' the
new worsteds are not only strong and
wiry. but they come in a great variety
of patterns and display a most charm
ing mingling of colors. They show
every variation of the stripe and quite
as many different patterns in checks.
There are plain worsteds, too, which
will be made up with pipings of a con-
trasting color, but stripes and checks
are the novelties of the season"

The American girl, who is allowed TO
make her own choice of a husband, does
not realize the greatness of her privilege,
for in nc other country, except, perhaps,
England, are husbands held in such cheap
estimation, that is, as far as money Is
concerned.
In all of the continental countries a
doRary of goodly proportions is considered
an absolute essential to a bride, and no
matter how beautiful she might be or how
sweet her dispositions she has absolutely
no hope of securing a husband unless she
has the very necessary coin.
When a man notes the charms of one OF
the opposite sex and decides that he would
like to have her for a wife he tells her
nothing of his desire. but goes Immediately
to her father to ascertain the amount OF
her dowry. If he considers 1t enough the
bargain is as good as closed and the bride
has little to say about 1t, but If 1t be too
small he goes on his way serenely, to wait
until a weather. girl strikes his fancy.
In this great country of ours money is
not considered by the great majority OF
men when 1t comes to a question of love
and marriage.
When they choose a wife they realize
that they take upon themselves the re-
sponsibility of supporting her and think
little of her dowry.
In fact, the majority of American men
are too proud and self-reliant to care to
marry a girl who possesses more of this
worlds goods than they. or course, l am
speaking of the majority. There are ex-
ceptions to every rule.
But maybe the American girls would APP
p~reciate their husbands more than they do
II they had to pay for them in dollars.

FLOWERS IN THE HOME.

A green room admits of the use Of
all colors-white. pink, yellow. blue,
purple and red. Green is a natural
background color for them all. Dog
wood n apple blossoms are fas-
cinating used in a room with dark
green walls. White lilacs are lovely.
The purple are a tri1e sombre. ION
quils, tulips of all %colors, and wistaria

room of that kind. Mountain laurel IL

to use very much green In a room like
this, because the foliage sinks into the

Bazaar.
In a blue, room one can use white,

TWO CENTS FOR A "SHINE."

The small bootblack exists because of the
love of the average child to be active and
to earn a little money. In the slums, where
children have nothing to play with except
stone steps, iron ratings and filth, 1t is very
interesting and fairly profitable to play
with a dirty pair of shoes. So the small
boy shines and CANDLES and learns all that
the street has to teach.
Organized hand work 'and play in the
schools of our great cities, a slight length
ening of the period of daily and annual
school attendance, and the children might
develop the normal play instinct without
recourse to street life. This is the program
Of the National Child Labor Committee.
The earnings of the small bootblack are
very low. If he shines for three cents when
he can get it, and two cents when he can
not get three, he may make eighteen cents
ON a Saturday. -.
That is one of the many forms of child
labor in America against which the Ma
tional Child Labor Committee contends.
With the cooperation which the American
people ought to give to such an enterprise
we believe this committee is leading in a
campaign which will secure to every Amer
lean boy and girl the education and physi-
cal growth which are so essential to Amer
lean citizenship.-Secretary of the National
Child Labor Committee in the September
Woman's Home Companion.

AUTUMN SUITS.

Recently 1 got my first glimpse of the
early fall Jacket suits. 1t was noticeable
that long sleeves were strongly in evidence.
and among all the neat suits on display
there were no short sleeves or three-quar-
ter lengths. The regular coat sleeves with
a modest stitched cuff were displayed on
all of the coats. Brown seemed to be the
prevailing color, while gray came next
There were many suits of h~erringbone
cloth, strictly tailor-made, and the neat
blue costumes were not missing. The coats
come below the hips. are semi-ftted and
close down the centre front with five but
tons. The collars, cuffs and lapels are
trimmed with velvet.

Mostly is this material found made up
with a considerable amount of smock-

the little tucked trimming which, when
completed, looks like tiny .plaits over
tapping each other. A great mount
of goods must be used in making a

lost in skimpiness. Panel effects are
outlined upon the skirt with applique,

them are employed to outline hand

TRY THIS.

A very new way of dressing caulifiower
is as follows: Prepare in the usual way
by removing the leaves and cutting off the
stalk and soaking it in water for half an
hour; then steam 1t in a closely covered
kettle until tender, keeping the kettle
closely covered.
When separated into little branchlets
pour over them this sauce: One teaspoon
full and a quarter of salt, one ~teaspoonful
and a half of mustard, one tea%spoonful of
powdered sugar and a quarter of a tea
spoonful of paprika. Beat the yolks of
four eggs with a fourth of a cupful of
olive oil. Mix very thoroughly before add
ing a half cupful of weak vinegar which
has been favored by having a teaspoonful
of chopped mild onion left soaking in 1t
and then removed. Cook this sauce over
hot water until thickened. Take off the
fire and stir in a half tablespoonful of
curry powder, a teaspoonful of finely
chopped parsley and two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter.

TO KEEP
BUTTERMILK FRESH

While visiting at a farmhouse not LONG

consumed with . 4zo-it, until I found out
how she did II.
Having but little milk at this time the
Cummings came several o-vs apaNc, thefe-

Nconscientiously poured into a large earthen
pitcher and to 1t was added a pint or

she simply poured off the water (Which
always remains at the top), and afterward
she again covered the remainder with cold
water.
