longer a necessity. and for a while houses were built without freplaces. Only within the last few years has the open fire taken new lease of life, and come to be appreciated for its decora- tive qualities, and for the soothing. drowsy feeling which its warmth gives.
 The ingle nook with it's wide chimney and comfortable seats Is quite the most comfortable feature of the room. In the library or drawing room, it is the most attractive place for reading sewing, or serving afternoon tea. In the dining room a little table can be set in the ingle nook on which after dinner coffee is served.
 One method is to divide the end of a living room to form an alcoye for the fire place. The room Is divided by a simple wooden screen placed about six feet from one end. The ceiling of this alcove is finished with small false beams. The wall is set with bookcases on either side of the fireplace, and there are boxseats with high backs on three sides of the alcove. The backs of these seats, which are under the bookcases, form doors to crboards under the shelves. There Is a simple wooden shelf on brackets across the chimney breast to form a mantle. The facing of fthe fireplace is in gray cement and gray tiles, with blue enameled Hg-

Me New Models for Fall Wear.

The modes of the present season are very different from those of the last. and the economical woman, or rather the wo- man with a limited dress allowance, will find that 1t will require a great deal of clever planning to make the gowns in her wardrobe of several months ago, still do service. At least one new street cos tune of the skirt and coat order will really be necessary, if one is to be smart ly gowned. as last. seasons coats are now hopelessly out of style. unless by some good chance the coat has been cut very long, almost to the knee. The new coats are cut on very different lines from those of last season, and fancy coats in braided effects with wide Dlrectoire re- were. big pocket flaps, and long close-f1t- ting sleeves will be much worn, espec- ially by the matrons and older girls. For morning wear and general use, however. the perfectly plain suit is still the smart est, and these are made generally of cheviot, serge or fancy worsted. in novel weaves, or in a perfectly plain cloth. These costumes are always made with a short skirt. which is cut in Q gored cir culsr. closely fitting about the hips, and have the coats cut almost to the knee, with a fitted back and semi-ftted front,
Arizona republican., 1908-11-12

and long plain sleeves, dart fitted at the top. The buttons are usually of the cloth and there is not particle of trim ming on the costume
 Later on, velvet promises to be much in vogue for afternoon, and informal even- ing wear, and velvet princesse gowns will be very smart for the theater or recep- ton wear.
 Satin is especially a favorite for hand some gowns. and the satin finished silks. crepe de chimes. ct cetera, are also much in demand.
 A great many of these gowns are made with long sleeves, which are generally of semi-transparent material. such as chif- ion. net or moussela,ne, shirred or 'rucked' over the arm Some of them gre finished by a little frill down the outer arm seam, and trimmed with but tons-a very pretty finish.
 The skirts of all these dressy gowns are made very long and trailing, and are most of them on modified sheath lines. clinsing about the hips and falling rath- CT Imply about the feet.
 The gowns illustrated are a couple of smart designs, which could be copied in various soft materials. The seated figure shows an attractive costume in white

,He Artistic Fireplace and Its Fixings.

Perhaps the most interesting feature in tLe development of the house Is the fireplace. In the primitive dwellings the fire was set in the middle of the room with a hole in the roof over 1t to let out ths smoke. and the expression fam fly circle" has come down from the days when the family sat a:ound the central fire
 After this the fire was placed against the wall and a rude chimney was built to carry away the smoke, and the peo- pie formed a semicircle about 1t. This kind of a fireplace was not wholly satis- factory, however, on account of the draughts from the side, and finally the fireplace was built in a recess to shel- ter l. from the cross currents and in this way the modern type was devei- oped.
 When the stove and the furnace came along, and finally the steam heat, the fireplace of our grandfathers was no

ures forming a relief for the plain gray ground.
 The color is introduced in the hric-a- brac on the shelves and nantel. ard in the book bindings. The cushinns on the seats are of plum color.d velvet. The fire set and andlrons are of wrought iron.
 It is much harder to give the comfort able, cozy effect to room which has the fireplace on the long side Instead of at the end. One way to treat such conditions Is to build two seats out on an angle so as not to project too far into the room. and yet so that they will form shelter spot about the fire. These seats are made with high backs and ends 90 as to keep out the dTauGhts. The pa1eling matches that of the mantcl- piece and of the wainscoting that runs around the room. In this room the woodworK is painted white and the walls hung with brown paper. Natural color pongee Is used for the window curtains. The dark browr cushions harmnnize with the coloIs of the walls. This color is also carried out in the p0rtieres at the docrs.
 A very good way to treat diniig roura fireplace Is to use a perfectly puln mantel with a large fireplace facing of Dutch tiles. A small Iron oven set in the side Is used for warming plates.

The bodice Is given an effec- tive touch in the tie of black velvet rib bon crossed under the section of cloth in the middle of the front. and finished by drop ornaments in gold. A narrow fold of bias black and white striped silk Is used to outline the yoke.
 The second figure shows a gown of soft satin-hnished silk in elephant gray. About the upper part of the bodice is a little hand work and brsiding, in matching soutache. rose and silver thread. and the upper portion of the bodice and open sleeves are Of tucked chiffon to match. The sash is of the chiffon with ends of the silk, and the edge of the sleeve fn- ished by a wide band of the silk.

Two Useful Tables

couple of odd tables in mission style are pictured in the sketch, the lines of both being severe and in excellent taste. The pedestal card table is especially at- tractive, and Is very convenient in style. as 1t can be folded and placed against the wall in a corner of the room when not in use.
 It makes an excellent bridge table, but would also serve for various uses, and may be of mahogany or dark fumed oak or stained to suit the other furni- ture of the room. The round table is really designed for a dining table. al- though it would serve as center table in a large living room. Solid mahogany is, of course. handsomest for such a table, but dark fumed oak is also de- sirable and has excellent wearing quail ties BEATRICE CAREY.

all day and all night. Mash well the next morning. adding a little flour. salt and little sugar, three or four eggs. q pinch of soda anI bake. In the winter 1t is a good plan to leave n little batter from one morning to the next. and then use 1t by mixing more to it in the usual way, making with milk or water. good syrup for the waffies Is made by placing 6 little granulated sugar In a saucepan, and. letting It brown or melt. then adding boiling water and more sugar. This makes very agreeable change from the usual maple syrup.
 Green Corn Fritters.-To one pint of grated corn pulp add enough sifted cracker crumbs to hold the mixture to- gether. and half a teaspoouful of baking powder and salt aud pepper to taste. Drop the mixture from a teaspoon into hot fat. making the fritters the size of an oyster. Fry to a light brown and drain on soft paper. Serve on a folded napkin.

Housekeeping Hints

F1annels should always be washed
 quickly and hung out in the sun as
 early as possible. whsn the process has
 been started 1t should be finished with despatch and the fannels ironed while still damp. Sometimes carelessness fin the first washing of the most expensive hannels will render them wholly unfit for further service. They should be washed in a tub by themselves. The water may be as warm as can be borne by the hand, but there should be no variation in the temperature flu the waters used for the rinsing as well as the washing. Add to half a tubful of water enough dissolved soap to make a good suds, and also a little ammonia. Use nothing but white soap on fannels and this only to make the suds. Never rLb soap on the hannels. Dip them into the soapy water, rubbing them as lightly as possible, and sop up and down. de- pending upon this action to do most of cleaning. Now squeeze free of suds, shake out yell, stretch and wash in a second tubful of water less soapy. Rinse in clear water with little amronia added. shaking out each piece thoroughly to prevent shrinkage. Send through the wringer, shake well. stretch again and hang out to dry in the sun. When al most dry take them down and fold up in clean. dry doth, to be ironed as soon as possible. Delicate colored hannels should be hung in the shade lest they fade. and DO ammonia or borax is used in connection with them. If the day be cloudy Gnd damp hang the hannels in- doors, but never close to high heat for the extreme temperature causes 1t to shrink and harden. If desired a little bluing may be added to the rinsing water.

OYSTER RECIPES.

Scn1Ioped Oysters-Put a layer of oysters in baking pan, cover them with breadcrumbs and. scatter a few small pieces of butter on the top; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat this in the same manner until the dish Is filled. Add a half-cupful of the oyster liquor and the same quantity of sherry. Bake in a quick oven for 20 minutes and serve.
 Oyster Fritters-Drain 25 oysters and chop them fine. Beat two eggs very light, add one cupful of milk, two cup fuls of flour. and salt. Beat the mixture smooth and add the oysters, with half a teaspoonful of baking powder. Drop the mixture into hot fat by tablespoon fuls. Fry on both sides and serve while hot. SARA CRAWFORD
