Good Housewives Welcome
 Turkey Season.

Ihanksgivng usually ushers in the de- lightful the halcyon time when the lus- cious turkey is ripe. Even those persons | firmly convinced that the cherry season is the most optimistic, feel the corners or their mouths turning up in anticipation or renewal of their acquaintance with the really great American bird, the one that puts the eagle to flight, and reigns supreme at this particular time.
 GiVen one large turkey and the average wire feels that she has a piece de re- issuance which will serve her. done in Varlous ways, for at least three days unless her whole family is voracious. It takes wise woman to select n soou eurkey-indeed it is a task second ohiy In difficulty to selecting a hus- band
 uare say that many a turkey which mas been sacrificed on the Thankssivine tapie within the last few days has been palmed off on the unsuspecting younr housewife who does not understand turkey -ology"
 Authorities are agreed that tbe ,.or,, pest turkeys are those of moderate size - Pouhus, say, ana plump. The nesh should be white and at this time of the year young gobblers are much bet ter than hens
 Tn preparing the fowl for cooking. wash thoroughly with soap and water and a dlsh cloth Then rinse so that the taste or the soap is entirely gone, then use cold water, adding little soda and wash the turkey inside and out This task can not be too thoroughly done.
 Fill the body with dressing tie the skin securely about the neck with cot ton twine. Bind the legs and wings snug iy to the body and then put upon the grating of covered roaster. Pour a cupful of boiling water over the turkey to scar the skin and keep the juices: cover and cook for 15 minutes to the pound, quite fast for 12 minutes. after 1 wards steadily, but slowly.

Ribbon Trimmings.

There are wonderful new changeable ribbons in the opalescent colors that are used to trim net frocks The effect is exceedingly artistic.
 They are run on the net at the top only and form ruffles or hem band, a wide girdle, sleeves and fiat embroidery de- signs on the bodice.
 They are much prettier than velvet bands and are newer and more colorful than lace.
 The changeable ribbons are a trife more fashionable than those of one color, all though the latter are used.

Care of the Hands.

A white and delicate hand, even if not perfection in shape, is one of the most important of personal charms and also one which can be more easily obtained than it is generally supposed. When the hands are rough, chapped tanned red dened with work, large quantities of a good cold cream should be rubbed into them and gloves worn at night in order to get the best and quickest results There are gloves made especially for this purpose and they differ from the ordinary street glove in shape and may be worn all night with comfort for they do not press too snugly on any part of the hand.

studded or embroidered with steel or other metal, are on many of the wide belts.
 The most ornate slides are reserved for silk. ribbon and elastic belts.
 Patent leather is again used and pret- ty patterns are eontrived
 A narrow white patent leather belt. barred by bands of black leather and finished with black leather ends is smart.
 A broader belt of white with a mar row band of black running along the middle is charming
 Another black design has white leather bands running through slits cut at in- teryals in the belt.

Care of Gold Fish.

A doting mother who does every in1- aginable thing to amuse her large family consisting of several youngsters, whose fad at the present time is the love of goldfish" gives the following advice about the care and attention of them;
 She says:
 Buy a package of bird gravel and put on the bottom of your aquarium to the depth of about half an inch. ac- cording to the size. Deeper. if 1t is a large one. There is a plant that can be bought at the bird stores for ten cents. Put one or more pieces of this in the water You will get several pieces fastened together. l take it that you have the plant food. If not this can be bought for ten cents and comes in sheets. Allow piece quarter of an inch square for each fish, put it in the water and If they don't touch it in about ten minutes they do not want it; then take it out, as to leave it in makes the water milky and is likely to kill the fish, Feed daily and change the water daily also. Mine seem to be very fond of the plant. They seem to eat il and tear 1t and I notice when they rest they lie in it. Mine come up to the surface and make bubbles. as my children say, but it is only for a short time and nearly always at night Do not overfeed them and keep the water clear. Every evening when my children are all ready for bed one gets into my lap and the others sit near me and we watch the goldfish till first one thinks he'll go to bed and then another. l look at the youngest in my arms to find he has gone sailing OCT the sea of sleep and in less than half an hour they are all in the same boat until morning.

A Thought for Today.

"It is very important to cultivate bus inesslike habits. An eminent friend of mine assured me not long ago that when he thought over the many cases he had known of men, even of good abil- ity and high character who had been unsuccessful in life. by far the most fre- quent cause of failure was that they were dilatory, unpunctual, unable to work cordially with others, obstinate in small things, and, in fact what we call unbusinesslike.-Lor Avebury.

Decorations For Slippers

Cloth ties closing with ribbon un- der a cloth buckle are most fascinating pieces of footwear, and are suitable for street or house use.
 These come in black, gray or tan and closely resemble suede.
 Opera slippers are of plain satin in black, white and every imaginable color.
 They have very short vamps, are mounted on very high French heels and close with one strap.
 The decorations for these slippers are bought separately.
 Among the dainty effects and pretty novel designs for them is rosette of chiffon. in which nestle tiny rosebuds formed from satin ribbon of the same color. Pale yellow on a lemon-colored- shoe is lovely and pink on pink is no less charming.
