The Illustrations show two excellent
frocks of the more or less elaborate sort
which would be excellent models for early
fail or winter wear. The striped gown
sketched shows one Of the newest ideas
In using striped or checked fabrics and
the way in which the material is Joined
on the bias down the center Of the front.
The model was in shadow striped voile
in two shades of brown. The draping
away of the blouse front to the sides is
rather a new idea and q very effective
touch of color is given by the use OF
brown flet lace, embroidered In Oriental
colors, which is used over the sleeves and
as a little plastron in front. Fringed or
naments In brown silk finished the ends
of these embroidered lace strips on the
bodice, and bias folds of brown and white
striped silk-the stripes being quite broad
and decided-are used as finish on the
skirt and bodice edges. The lower part
of the skirt is also trimmed with two
wide bands of the voile.
These voiles, by the way, will be ex-
ceedngly popular during the fall and
winter and some decided novelties are
shown, In which the fabric is striped off
with hair lines or broad lines Of velvet
or dotted or otherwise figured. The
plain voiles, however, retain their popu-
larity, and those with the shadow stripes,
checks and plaids. continue to be fash
ionable.
Among the silks marquisette is very
smart for elaborate gowns, and taffetas,

The Treatment of the Hall.

p 4
II the hall has a fireplace and is OF
suitable shape it will make an admirable
smoking room. High-backed settles may be
placed on either side Of the fire /; rug be-
fore the hearth One very attractive hall
was wainscoted In square panels, stained
with black oak stain. The rest of the wall
was covered with two-toned red paper Of
deep shade. The stair was made with
two landings on the flrtt was covered
low box which contained oyershoes, and
also served as a seat. tall grandfather's
clock found place on the second landing.
All the woodwork was stained the same as
the wainscoting.
The old-fashioned hall-rack has been
superseded by an oval or square, glass;
three feet long, with two hooks, one at
each end. A small table is placed beneath
this fitted with a drawer for gloves ETC.,
but the outer garments of the family are
kept either on rack in the back hall, or
In a cupboard II the hall is only an en-
trance or passage way 1t contains only
this glass and table and one chair.
In case the hall is long and narrow the
appearance can be improved by having the
wall low-wainscoted and covered above
with high frieze showing sky and water
views. An appearance of breadth Is given
by these. Then q pole fastened to the wall
or door at the back Of the hall will allow
a drapery there to cut of the extreme
vista of that end Of the hall.
The upstairs halls may be used for sit
ting rooms If they are spacious, in which
case they are furnished like any other
room of this kind II there is only pass
age here however. 1t should be devoid Of
furniture. long rug or strip of carpet
is proper.
A hall of this style was treated in the
following manner: A six by eight space
was left at the top of the stairs, which
made square turn. The floor was partly
covered by a rug long, and narrow
loaded window furnished light, and under
this was placed a box seat, which served
to contain the garments of some of the
feminine members of the household.

Preserving the Fall
Fruits.

In preserving fruit 1t is better to use
three-Quarters of a pound Of sugar to one
pound OF fruit than the equal quantities
of each, usually prescribed. Add cupful
of water to each pound of sugar and heat
to the boiling point. Skim and add the
prepared fruit, with a few kernels from
the stones and cook until the fruit Is
clear and transparent. Lemon Juice is
usually added to pear or peach preserve.
Ginger Pears.-To eight pounds Of
finely chopped pears, allow four pounds
Of sugar, the juice of four lemons and the
rinds cut In thin strips, cupful of water,
and an eighth pound of sliced ginger root.
Let 1t simmer for three-quarters Of an
hour, until thick. Pour in jelly glasses
and seal.
Grape PreBerves.-Use half ripe and
half green grapes for the preserves. Heat
the grapes until soft In jar set In pot
OF boiling water, then press through a
colander, and weigh the pulp. Allow a
scant pound of sugar to each pound Of
pulp and cook until of the right COM
sistency, stirring frequently Then store
in Jars.
Crab Apple JeIly.--Wash the apples
and cut them up small without scoring. or
peeiing. Cover with cold water. allowing
a cupfuI for every six pounds OF fruit.
Cook slowly for eight or nine hours in an
earthen jar, set In hot water. Let 1t
drip from jeily-bag over night. In the
morning weigh the Juice and set 1t on
the stove to heat Measure cut an nQah

During the last few weeks, economists
and reformers have been appealing TO
small shareholders, which In effect Is
the general public, to take more interest
In the proceedings of their corporations.
In the midst Of bitter TRADES against
financial strong-arm men, there Is sus-
picious resemblance to the inyective lev-
eled at political bosses-tnougn we totally
Forget to 20 to the polls election day and
aouelch them. In either case financial
and political autocrats have made very
hard the suffrage for well meaning but
not vary energetic citizens.
In is country the small shareholder
is not encouraged to participate in the
elections even Of the most honest and
conservative of corporations and IL he
does 30. is accorded the same sort Of at
tention as given a precocious child play
ing house" However, in q majority Of
cases, the fault is with Mr.. Common Peo-
pie who should have long since learned
that the only way he can secure anything
is to fight for 1t. They do things far
different In England Shareholders, how
ever small, attend the meetings OF the
companies in person and ask pointed
questions concerning the management OF
"their' property. They keep themselves
well informed Of the conduct or unelr
officers and directors, criticise them
freely, and thus protect the public from
the evils that arise from mismanagement
In this land, the small shareholder is
the merest atom.
Let us trace the shareholder and his
powers from primary facts. A corpora
tion Is an association of individuals tnat
the law gives the right to live forever,
elect officers and conduct certain lines OF
business.
This corporation, In exchange for
money, issues stock to represent owner
ship. Bear In mind that stockholder
does not own any share of the business
except indirectly. He owns q share In
the corporation, which In turn, owns the
mine, railroad, mill, etc.
The stockholder elects trustees or d.
rectors to manage the business for him.
Election is by ballot and each share en-
titles the owner to one vote. In order
to exercise this suffrage, he must travel
personally to the city where the election
the power Of attorney, or nominate a
proxy. So often have his puny efforts
come to naught that he usually does moth
ing and let's the election be cut and dried.
Accordingly, 1t usually happens that small
stockholders who In the aggregate control
enough votes to gain the ascendency that
is properly theirs, by lack of cohesion
and cooperation place control In the
hands of the minority who grow yearly
in autocratic power.
Consequently the conviction is some
times forced upon the observer that the
public, complaining bitterly against corpo-
ration mismanagement, had reared this
Frankenstein itself by lack Of persistency
in asserting rights that are theirs by law.
Accordingly, through his own fault, the

Business Beliefs.

Do not confuse two human traits.
selfstness clogs body and mind, while
ambition develops both.
The merchant Is always careful to label
his goods-and SO should the worker put
the trademark of his skill on every piece
of work.
Remember that "seven roads lead to
Rome"--and If bound for success, II you
try enough paths one will be found free
Of obstacles.
1t Is silly to nourish grudge in busi-
ness. One soon finds that unkind feelings
are not only unmarketable, but no one
wants such opinions as gift.
Have a definite aim and go straight to
1t, mastering ali details by the way.
Never put out your hand further than
you can draw 1t back.
Listen well, answer cautiously, decide
promptly.
Make good use Of other mems brains.

A Gambri1 Roof Cottage.
Designed By
Chas. S. Sedgwick, Architect, Minneapolas.
Designed By

This cottage is snug and compact, ex-
ceedingly well proportioned and is house
that would be adapted for a city lot or for
the country village. In the construction,
as will be seen at a glance, all superhuous
ornamentation is left of. There is an
ample entrance porch giving floor space
for four people to sit with comfort, 1t is
just the right size for the house and would
not improve the looks by making 1t larger.
Any person wanting a small, snug, COM
pact house could not improve upon this
design.
At the left of the vestibule is a pretty
den and at the right is a large living
room extending across the full width of
the house with broad open fireplace at
the side. Back Of this is projected bay
window with wide seat or place for plants
This living room is finished with beam

Most great corporations are dominated

by a. desire to obtain '1nside" and valu-
able information; to protect the interests
of a competitor by acting as n sort OF

cision--''elect new directors or sell your

THE MEMS CORNER. BY PETER zsx s.!zx1Hs
Trade Talks.
Locomotive Engineer.

Despite the fact that nearly every little
tad as soon as he Is able to cry "choo-
choo!' has an ambition to be a railroad
engineer, and despite the more practical
fact that very high pay and constant en-
ployment is the portion Of this craft ap-
prentice firemen are quite hard to find.
There is no time in the year when the
scarcity of reliable engineers is more
acutey felt by the superintendents Of mo-
tive power on the great railroads than at
this present moment when they tackle the
problemeof moving the crops"
Nor is the apprenticeship appalling in
fits length or In the tasks given. So easy,
in fact, is the schooling put In vogue by
the great roads for the young man who
wishes to become the commander-in- chief
of locomotive. that the old-fashioned en-
glneers refer to It contemptuously as
''molIycoddling."
Under rules that are now in vogue on
all the great systems, the apprenticeship
as fireman has been cut down to about
three years and the actual firing" or
shoveling Of COAL, while much increased
in tonnage, is made easier by scientific
methods of distribution The pay. Of a
fireman, striking the average for the
whole country, ranges from $50 to S120
month according to his ability and the
length of his run.
At the end of four years, his pay as en-
gineer is from 800 to slightly over 5000
a month. Certainly the locomotive engi
neer Of all the trades ranks with the dia-
mond cutter In the size Of his wage.
True, he constantly risks his life, bat sta
tistics shown spite Of the fact that
railroad accidents are abnormal In their
number--a smaller list of mortality than
In many other trades that are not consid-
cred dangerous by the unthinking.
In day not long past, the work Of dr-
ing an engine for seven or eight years be-
fore graduating was an apprenticeship
that the fireman found dirty and exact
ing. AT the present time there is a sys-
tenn of schooling In vogue on the big sys-
|. TENS which does away with unnecessary
labor such as cleaning the engine and In
consequential roundhouse work. The up
to-date fireman apprentice may be said to
carry text book In one hand and a coal
scoop in the other. There Ia little vest
pocket textbook for each year-just as
there are readers In a graded school
and the fireman is expected to stand a
contents every year. These questions are
not formidable for the young man who Is
sincere and devoted to his future. The
third or graduation year finds the fireman
wrestling with the intricacies of the air
brake system which Is counted the most
important of the curriculum. Some Of
the roads, such as the Reading, have a
well equipped class room for air-brake
demonstrations.

Wallachian embroidery is perhaps the
simplest and most effective sort that can
be, done, and even to the veriest beginner
it win be found to present few difficulties.
1t Is suitable for the decoration of a
great many articles In the needlework
class, although I do not advise 1t for
blouses collar and cuff sets or such ar
ticles of wearing apparel For center
pieces, table covers, sideboard or tray
cloths. bags. etc, however, 1t Is charm-
ing and looks well both In shaded color
ings as well as N all white.
For centerpieces Intended for using on
the dining table the all white ones are
usually preferred, but l have seen some
very beautiful round or square pieces In
tended for table covers, done In shades Of
green, brown and yellows or shaded
blues, which are most artistic and effec-
tive. When using the colored embroidery
a rather coarse cream colored linen is Sc
lected for the background, the work be-
ing done with mercerized cotton or floss
as preferred. Rather heavy cotton or
floss Is used If a single thread is worked
with, or else four or FIVE strands of fine
mercerized cotton.
The detail illustration shown in the cut
clearly explains the stitch employed and
the method of working. The button-holed
stitches with which the work Is entirely
done should be slightly slanted towards
the top Of the petals, so as to turn the
corners well, the rings being worked In
straight even stitches. The centers of the
rings should be punched with stiletto,
and the needle always put In the hole
thus made. The round table cover or cen
terpiece design Is one that could easily
be copied. and is very effective when

green linen, embroidered in shades OF
darker green cotton.

The model Of this gown was in black

Spanish lace, the edges applied over bands
of taffeta. The skirt was oddly trimmed,
in that the four bands of taffeta used as
trimming were put on alternately on the
outside and inside of the material, thus
giving a shadowy effect to the whole. The

The New Lace Sew
ing Screen.

The sewing screen of lace is now the
desire Of every woman who wishes her
guest chamber to be complete and In
fashion. AS all hostesses know the guest
chamber should contain some convenience
for sewing. Sometimes q small sewing
box or basket is used and furnished with
all the implements necessary to take
timely stitch In any article Of the Wis
tor's costume. The sewing screen Is
newer, and is a very useful and attractive
piece of furniture. It may be used as
we'll for the honseholder's own room.
In shape, the screen is two-wlnged, and
shows not a bit of woodwork, the wings
being covered with ribbon of the same
shade as that used for the lining. The
screen is covered with cloth Of light
tint, light blue is very good, linen, chintz,
silk or satin may be used for the material.
Filet lace Is put on over this, and shirred
slightly. Gathered pockets are set along
the top of both wings Of the screen. These
are meant to contain needles, Silks tape.
embroidery, buttons, thimbles and various
other sewing things. Just below these
pockets on one wing of the screen Is a
ribbon-covered strip of wood in which
little gilt spool holders are set
On the lower part Of the same wing
long pocket extends completely across in
which any rolled up work may be put
Between the spools and the long pocket
10 large holder shaped like an envelope.
When opened several compartments may
be seen, In which any designs on paper
or fat work may be pressed out all the
time. The envelope is fastened with a
gilt chain which slips over a hook on
the screen and keeps the envelope closed.
In making a screen Of this sort it Is
highly important to see that the bottom
is well weighted and the hinges work
we'll, and the foundation material should
be heavy enough to make good stout
pockets. screen which has sagging
pockets, or which falls over ON very
slight proyocation, Is q very sorry sight.

As the hall is the room Of the house In
which both daily occupant and visitor first
enter, and as first Impressions count for
50 much, 1t should be given careful at
tention and thought in decoration and
furnishing. 1t should not be so formal as
to be lacking in the home atmosphere, not
yet cluttered up with useless bric-a-brac.
1t should be, above all, simple in style and
treatment.
Red is always a very good color for the
wall covering and the furnishings, and
for the rugs as we'll. The hall floors are
generally done in ash, or a hard maple,
the grain Of which, being very distinct,
looks exceedingly well when shellaced, and
rubbed and waxed with a brush which is
