a bit of marabou can be afforded for
trimming so much the better. To match
this cape there should be slipper bag

through the streets.
The little maid who goes to boarding
school will come home at Thanksgiving
with two demands-the college dress. re-
ferred to before. and-pajamas This as
tonishing request should not be regarded
by the concerned mother as the first
tendency OF higher education toward

enticing after-bedtime feasts spread on

is also especially effective with the yell

the quaint, artistic colonial glassware, an
ideal Thanksgiving board OF the ancient
regime may be arranged. The colonial
glassware, which, by the way, is exceed

first presidential residence. The ODD

huge punchbowl. is obtainable.
OF course, the centerpiece Of every self
respecting Thanksgiving dinner table is a
pumpkin, followed out and heaped with
fruit OF the season. Side handles may
be added to this pumpkin basket. or,
rather the handles may be left, when
the scooping and cutting are done; and a
big bunch of purple grapes tied to each
handle will add vastly to the effect OF
plenty conveyed by the basket of fruit.
An old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner
table last year was delightfully."- lighted by
four electric bulbs which were hidden
under the voluminous petticoats OF quaint
little dolls, one standing at each corner Of
the table. The little doll ladies mad de-
mure fichu and huge poke bonnets and
their skirts of lowered blue and white
silk were gathered all around at the
trio bulbs like petticoats over an old
fashioned hoop. Ordinary small china
dolls with kid bodies were used for these
novel lampshades, the doll lady being
severed at the waistline ard her neither

WASHING Handkerchief.

11UCH care should be taken in the
lvl washing of fine handkerchiefs, as
in the washing of all fine linens. Lace
handkerchiefs are very hard to wash
properly, and are often completely de-
stroyed In the process. In the first place.
the handkerchiefs should never be allowed
to hecome unduIy soiled, and when they
are once used they should be placed in a
small linen bag for that purpose.
When several have collected they snouii
be put to soak in an earthen oowi' niled
With very cold water and sudS made from
the hest of soap. They should remain
there for at least half hour. after winch
they should be rinsed In more cold water,
care being taken not to tear them In the
rinsing. as the lace Is very r, ,o aenc s,sr
in which a little borax has been dis
solved.
By batting and rubbing this washing
will not injure the fine linen. Then comes
the final rinsing through many bowls OF
cold water, until every particle Of the
soap has disappeared. The handkerchiefs
are then placed in a bowl Of milk, into
which have been put few drops OF es-
sence of violet. and this will give them
dried on a clean towel and at once
ironed. No starch is used in the washing.
Croquettes Of Vension.
Take about one pound Of cooked veni-
son, chopped finely, or put through a
mincing machine, mix with four ounces
Of finely mashed potato. two tablespoon
fuls Of breadcrumbs and seasoning Of
chopped herbs. shallot and parsley. pep
per and salt; blend the mixture with the
yolks Of three eggs and one ounce OF but
ter. and stir over the fire until 1t -orms
a paste, then turn 1t out on plate TO
get cold. Form into croQuette shape. dip
in seasoned batter and fry In deep rat
until a golden color. Drain on paper and
serve with rich venison gravy, navoreo
with red currant jelly and port wine.
Many beautiful fur scarfs. lined with
silk. are draped loosely about the shoul-
ders and knotted below the chest, from
which hang two irregular ends near the
hem Of the gown.
One of the fashionable tailored stocks
for the coming season Is strip OF linen
buttonholed on each edge with tabot
pinned In front-the pin giving touch OF
color.
The vatican pleat Is conspicuous for Its
absence. though early in the fall 1t was
expected that it would have place as
line for the winter ball gown.

the funny papier mache figures in the
shops. Tiny dolls dressed like farmers
and trundling crepe paper carts holding
pumpkins are dainty favors sure to ap-
peal to the feminine guests. These little
farmer dolls are illustrated, and with a
little patience such favors should not be
hard to make at home.
For a children's Thanksgiving party a
pumpkin Jack Horner pie Is. or course,
in order. The pumpkin should be used
whole. with only square cut out at the
top for q lid. as In the case OF tack-o'-
lantern pumpkin. The inside Is lined with
waxed paper, and the favors are attached
to yellow ribbons which escape beneath
the lid at the top and stretch to each
place around the table.
Instead of filling the Jack Horner pie
with favors, empty walnut shells may be
used, into each pair of shells being slip
ped-before the gluing together Is done
a folded paper containing directions for
some stunt" to be performed by the
small recipient. One child may be In
structed to speak piece; another to imi-
tate barnyard bird; another to sing a
song. and SO on, adding materially to the
hilarity OF the feast end.
At a very jolly Thanksgiving party last
year the young guests wore costumes
representing various barnyard friends.
ROSTERS ducks, geese, chicks and other
feathered fowl were present, and one
Of these clever costumes Is illustrated. As
will be seen, the feathers, made Of strips
of stout paper. are pasted or sewed to
loose garments of cheap muslin. The
headdress Is made of cardboard. with a
deep cape of the paper-feathered muslin.
and eyes and beak are touched up with
watercolor paints in naturalistic manner.
Yellow chamois gloves should be worn
with such a costume. and shoes are made
Of channels skin In loose moccasin style.
The silk and wool mixtures are quite to
the front this season for gowns of all de-
scriptions. Those of a diagonal weave
and woven with twill suggestive Of
serge are decidedly smart.
Ermine will be used more for evening
than for day wear. though some of the
black fur coats show pretty fiat collars
made of this fur to offset the dead black
ness Of the other fur.
Greater freedom is allowed in present
arrangement Of draperies than ever be-
fore.

All the dainty toilet waters, creams and
essences come now in bottles and boxes

fad, but the notion is spreading in Amer
lea, and one may now obtain various
toilet preparations, all boxed and bottled

the owners monogram, being considered
smarter now than the massive silver

Evening Dress Accessories Easy to
Make.
Nothing prettier has been worn in years
than the long scarfs which are twisted
about the throat under the evening wrap
and thrown over the shoulders at the
theater or between dances when dancing
is INDUCED in. The shops abound In the
soft, graceful satin scarfs edged with
marabou, and these scarfs are very easy
to make. Very soft satin a yard wide
should be selected, and two yards VIII
be needed for the scarf. All around the
edge is sewed narrow strip of the fluffy
marabou in its natural color-a soft
mouse brown.

The smartest Of the bonnets hug the
rosettes or choux over the ears in quite
and seven years nley wear them. Bon
nets for larger girls are made from soft
felt and beaver hats, bent into quaint
bonnet shapes; the brim being some
times slashed UP in order to produce
the proper bonnet effect. These bonnet
shapes are particularly satisfactory In
that they protect the ears. The boy
may wear ear NUTS on bitter days even
when he is very big lad. but unless
his sister has a bonnet there Is no pro-
lection for her ears when she Is In her

A practical and pretty hat is Illus

any mother, two shades of the same
color being used. In the hat shown two
shades of green made very pleasing
harmony, which gave character and

shirred over fine cords. The trimming is
of wide satin ribbon, and the full rosette
