hat that was so smart week ago
dear me, she looked poverty-stricken
didn't she.
What would you have for breakfast
melons and smrabled eggs? Pshaw
What kind of breakfast is that II
Fall?
Hot biscuits and honey are what
you really needed, or some nice little
brown, homemade sausages, all but
toned up in their crispy little jackets
with plenty of sage for dressing
and plate Of brown cakes, the kind
that Aunt Mandy used to make when
you had the headache and couldn't get
up in time to go to school, but began
to feel better and little hungry just
about quarter past 9.
Tenderloins are good, too-pork
tenderoins, with plenty of gravy and
some cream potatoes to go with them
--um, aren't you glad you don't belong
to dieting club?
What cold comfort those breakfast
foods look on Fall morning like this
don't they?
Hurrah! It's all! Let's go down
town and order the meat for the sau.
sages and the grapes for the jelly and
the pumpkins for the pies.
What-are those Hubbard squashes
over there in the corner of the mar
ket? Let's have them out-you cut
one of those squashes into four COM
Portable pieces, put them in pan and
roast them in slow oyen-serve
them in their shell, with some good
butter and lots of pepper and salt
and, dear me, what a farce these Sum,
mer dinners we've been having Were
weren't they?
Falls herewith the open fire and
the long evenings in the dancing fire
light-the evenings that mean sc
much to friendship and to family
life.
Well get acquainted with each other
all over again, won't we, sitting there
in the glow Of the friendly flames, and
the book we haven't had time to read
all summer, and the letters 1t was toe
hot to write, and the children who
wouldn't come into the house till bed
time-we'll gather them all around
us again, for it's heart time, home
time, fire time, Fall time. Hurrah for
Fall!

MRS. STElNHE|L
Will WIN SUIT
The Opinion in Paris is That the Red
Widow Will be Acquitted Of
the Charge Of
Murder.
Prosecution Has Only Built up a Tot
tering circumstantiaI Case
Against the Clever
Woman.

PARIS, Nov. 11.-Beaten by their
own witnesses is the popular opinion
expressed of the states case in the
Steinheil case. When the court open
ed today, but one witness remained
to be examined. Not a single wit
ness has yet testified for the defence,
but there are more than % who will
do so and yet practically all of the
telling points of the case have been
scored by the defence, largely by the
cleverness of the prisoner in outwit-
ting the authorities during the cross
examination. The state has been able
to build up only tottering circum-
stantial case. The manner in which
the widowed woman has withstood the
battery OF the court has won her
the sympathy of the spectators and
has not been without effect upon the
jury. A sensational report that the
trial would result in sweeping changes
i nthe criminal code, was authoritively
denied today All of the witnesses for
the defence are to be called before
the prosecuting general begins MS
summarizing speech which is expected
to be concluded by tomorrow evening,
Matre Aubin will probably summarize
for the defence on Saturday and Ma
dame Steinheil will then be allowed
4 10 make her final statement for which
she has been making voluminous notes
during the progress of the trial. Tha'
may continue the trial over t
4 Monday although verdict may b
returned late Saturday. That the yer
dict will favor the woman is the be
4 lief of those who have watched the
trial from the beginning. The cleve'
woman has successfully denied o.
4 nullified all, of the points on which
the state has built its case.
