WEAR WAISTS OF CREPE.
Garment Stylish in Either White or
Colored Goods.

Smart women are wearing good
looking waists of white and colored
Japanese crepe, which washes as we'll
as linen. This fabric is much in style
1t has little crinkle in it that is at
tractive, and it is pleasant relief
from the usual lingerie fabric.
Although white waists with coat
suits are not quite as fashionable as
colored ones, they will still be worn
in the mornings in the house and for
shopping and will look pretty, too.
The Japanese crepe waists are far
preferable to those of muslin or lin.
en-. They give a new touch to the
costume.
They are embroidered in Japanese
designs of apple, chrysanthemum, wis
taria and vines.
Some of them are trimmed with a
tiny edge of cluny outlining half-inch
fiat tucks There is a boned stock to
match and a plated cravat in front
of the material edged with quarter
inch cluny lace.
These are not lined, although they
are quite sheer. If woman feels the
cold in thin waists during the autumn
and winter she should have china silk
slips made of white and pastel colors
to wear under them.

Taffeta is used more often than any
other material for the making OF the
modish evening hood, very soft taffeta
of course, without crispness, though
with certain body which the big hood
needs. Liberty satin, too, is used
for lovely models, and occasionally one
sees a model of transparent nous
seine or net or lace over a silken
foundation.
Silk yelling, too, is a hood material,
and one of the prettiest 1nodels was
in voile de sole ciel, with little puff
fing bordered by cords of ciel taffeta
and frill of lace framing the face
while on the middle front Just inside
the lace frill was posed garland of
tiny pink roses and foliage. This same
model we have seen in rose pink taft
feta and in a delicate lilac taffeta.
A hood of this type should surely
not be difficult problem for clever
brains and fingers, and for that matter
a majority of the models are not par
ticularly complicated in construction,
requiring taste and ingenuity rather
than expert workmanship
A wide puff OF cream net bordered
on each side by a line of tiny roses
or rosebuds and a single or double
frill of lace make a good finish for one
of the voluminous hoods of taffeta
or liberty. Sometimes the frills are of
silk mousseline or chiffon rather than
of lace. and perhaps the outer frill
matches the hood in color while the
frill next the hair and face is white
Narrow black lace and knots of
black velvet trim one HOOD of straw
colored silk, and velvet loops and bows
finish the front of another silk model
which has only narrow bordering
frill of lace around the face but deep
capelike frill of lace around the neck
A majority of the hoods have some
sort of cape finish, more or less shall
low, and some have long scarfs of the
hood material cut in one with the
body of the hood.
Two wells, one falling in front and
one behind, are adjusted to most of
the poke and coal scuttle motor bon
nets, and the neutral and medium
tints are usually chosen, the fashion
able smoke and taupe grays being es-
pecially popular. Other small, close
fitting bonnets have wells draped
round them and falling at the back in
two long scarfs, which may be adjust
ed and manipulated as the wearer
may choose.
Half bonnet, half hood are certain
motor toques in mousseline de sole
on the order of the taupe one pic
tured here, with wide, low draped
crown, soft frills falling over the hair
and long scarfs brought forward from
sides and back.

The Feather Turban.

Some of the best shops are offering
the pin-feather turban as a fashion
able hat. Women insisted upon it,
and 1t promises to be the smart thing.
1t is worn for street, for windy
days and all kinds of occasions when
a large hat is neither fit nor becom-
ing.
1t is built in an oblong shape, but
made wide at the sides by small birds
and wings. 1t has no bandeau and
comes well down over the hair. 1t is
in smoked gray, iridescent blue and
shaded peacock green. All iridescent
effects are good in turbans, as on
large hats.
A fish-net veil is always worn with
them. 1t is folded around the neck
under the chin, securely pinned at
back and then drawn up to top Of tur-
ban, where it is again fastened and
the ends securely tucked away.

Picked Red CABBAGE.

Take off the outside leaves of
nice red cabbage, cut in quarters. re-
move the stalks and cut it across in
very thin slices. Lay these on dish,
strew them plentifully with salt and
cover with another dish. Let them re-
main "a hours, turn into colander to
drain, and if necessary wipe lightly
with cloth. Put them in jar and
boil up the vinegar and spices, and
when cold pour over the cabbage Tie
down with bladder and keep in a dry,
cool place. 1t will be fit for use in
week or two. For one head of cab
bage take one quart vinegar, one-haAf
ounce ginger root, one ounce whole
black pepper and, if you like, dash
of cayenne.
The pickle will be much more crisp

Kid shoes may be kept soft and free

When brushing room sweep to-

from the chimney draws the dust in
that direction.
Table or any other linen that is
stained with raw egg should be well

RECIPE FOR VIENNA BREAD.
A Little Trouble to Make, But De-
licious When Finished.

Four pounds of flour, three pints
milk and water, one-half ounce of salt
tx ounces fresh compressed yeast
Place the flour in the bread bowl and
In it put the milk, water and salt. Mix
with the liquid enough of the flour to
make it a thin batter, next rub the
yeast to powder between the hands
and mix into batter. Cover the bowl
closely and let it stand three-qnarters
of an hour. At the end of that time
mix in the rest of the floor smoothly
and let the dough thus made stand
again closely covered 21a hours until
it is light and elastic. Then cut into
pound pieces and each pound into IL
parts. Flatten these small pieces of
dough in squares three-quarters of an
inch thick, fold their corners to the
center, pinch them to hold down and
turn the little rolls thus made over
on a board covered with a cloth. Let
them stand ten minutes, turn up again
on a baking sheet and put them into
a hot oven to bake quickly for about
Is minutes. When half done brush
them with milk, return to the oven
and finish baking them. 1t is a little
trouble but they are delicious when
done.

chestnuts with Apples in Salad.

The chestnuts in market now make
delicious salad with apples and eel
cry. The domestic kind will do, but
are more work than the large i'm
ported ones. Score shells of the nuts
and scald them so that the shell and
skin will come off easily. Then boil
in sailed water until they are tender.
If the large chestnuts are employed
cut them in throe pieces; use the
small ones whole. Mix the nuts with
an equal quantity of diced apples and
celery and dress with mayonnaise.
The chestnuts and apples are tasty
without the celery. Either the apples
or nuts are delicious alone, as a salad.

view of the somewhat narrow limita-
tions of line and idea.
Moreover the liking for hoods which
started first with practical fur and
cloth headgear for winter motoring
and developed into coquettish and
elaborate head covering for wear with
evening dress in open or closed cars
has spread far beyond its original
field.

SOCIALISTS IN RICHMOND.

a LWAYS active during depressed periods,
the Socialist Labor Party is sending organ
izers throughout the country. When men are out
OF work they are prone to listen TO speakers who
promise them a remedy for industrial troubles.
The Socialists have started a propaganda in
Richmond Va They follow their customary
methods Of speaking on the street corners. The
Richmond authorities, however are not taking
kindly to the Socialist orators, and two of them
were recently arrested, charged with disorderly
conduct Arraigned in police court the arrested
men dehed the judge, declared they were guar
anteed free speech under the Constitution and
they, therefore, refused to pay the fines imposed
by the court. Notoriety was really what the So
cialists craved. They do not object to spending
a few days in prison, as they emerge heroes in
the eyes OF their fellows.
The action of the police in Richmond was un-
justihable unless the meeting a disorderly
one in fact, and the charge against the men was
not merely technical No harm follows public
meetings at which industrial questions are dis
cussed. Delaware went through this experience
during the Single Tax campaign, There was a
disposition in those days to repress the Single
Takers by law, but the unwisdoin Of that course
soon became apparent.

which he has just written and which
has had such large opening sale that
the publishers, Funk & Wagnalls Co..

more than a fascinating romance. 1t
treats Of current subjects in the body
polite and has for its object the well
directed effort to induce public thought
and discussion on matters of vital in

This book tells how things are
framed up on the unsuspecting and

uppermost in the peoples mind. In
fact the novel shows the result of a
hurried preparation which may be ex-

the subject matter. There is, how
ever, every evidence that the author
devoted ample time to the collection
OF data, as several bankers who are
in touch with Wall street have said
since reading IL that Mr. Crozier's
portrayal OF the methods of the street
are literally true.
The doctrine of the financiers is
early explained. One of them sets
forth in so many words that Wall

During a debate in the German Parliament the
other day Count Won Kamtz, one of the conserva-
tive leaders, suggested that President Roosevelt
was responsible for the critical financial situation
which he declared exists throughout the world
to-day. The direct cause, this German conserva-
tive believed, "the Presidents threat against
the trusts" If this view be correct, then the
trusts are the dominating influence to-day, i'm
mune from obeying laws and not subject to the
government. Any interference with them is to
be followed by the penalty Of financial distress
and suffering The trusts are to be monarchs Of
all they survey, and financial disturbances are
their weapon of protection. This, indeed, would
make remarkable situation, the people actually
bound body and soul to the trusts and the com
bnes free to exploit the people as they may be
disposed.

NORTH CAROLINA RAILWAY RATES.

THE North Carolina Legislature has been
\ summoned in extra session to consider a
modification or repeal OF the ri cents the mile
passenger rate, which was enacted by the last
session. The legislators believe that the rate is
gripping the railroad companies of North Caro-
lima. In a country where the population is not
dense, and where travel is not above the normal
there is little chance of the companies being able
to meet their passenger traffic expenses with the
lower rate
Companies in the State of Pennsylvania loudly
protested that a two cent rate would mean a loss
to them. While doubt is expressed whether the
companies of Pennsylvania could succeed with
lower rate, it is plain that if such rates would
mean loss in Pennsylvania, much larger then
would be the deficiency in a State like North
Carolina. The experience of Ohio, which is
thicky populated State with heavy travel, so far
does not tell of loss owing to reduced fares, but
on the contrary there is a peroeptible gain in
business and profit under lower passenger
charges
