LERE, there and everywhere are
heard whispers of beauties to
come in the way of novel fall styles,
but the wise woman is she who let's the
morrow take care of itself, for it Is
madness to depend upon these early
rumors. One thing only is certain
after this late fondness for clinging eff
fects-fashion is likely to display a
mood for just the opposite thing. In
that event the smooth caressing text
ures, which made the Tangra gowns
so lovely. will give way to rougher ma
%terials, and there will probably be a
return to such ancient trimmings as
gimps and velvet bands.
Changes evident at the moment are
in the way of more elaborate skirts
than have been worn for a year or
more, and there are signs that sleeves
are likely to assume wider forms.
The skirt models issued in the last
two weeks show an increase Of. trim

lined to suggest family the future pos
sibility of the draped jupe; and so
ardently are the princess-tunic effects
admired and worn that a smart gown
without this shorter overslip seems all
most to have missed its intention.
For a medium figure the dress will re-

four inches wide. Measurements for the

KITCHEN KRINKLES.

If food Is scorched in the cooking re-
move the pan from the stove and place
1t in a large pan Of cold water. Then
place q dish towel over. the pan; the
towel will absorb all the scorched taste
from the steam, and when placed on
the table there will be no taste of the
scorching.
Though the average h~ousekeeper ap-
parently isn't aware of the fact that a
waste basket in the kitchen is a use
full thing, the fact remains that 1t Is.
Try one under your kitchen table, in
which to throw all papers from par
cells and other odds and ends that can
not be placed in the garbage or in the.
ash pail. 1t is also a good idea to hang
q small bag over the kitchen table and
use it as a receptacle for odds and. ends
of string and cord.

rugged vitality, we maintain, discounts
any amount of languid grace. With a
stiff ocean wind blowing against her
and a perpendicular street to scale, the
San Francisco woman adapts her gait,
perforce, to her requirement. The sinu-
Gus glide sof the New Orleans woman,
for instance, each step melting into the
next, "coil upon COIL" would never get
her beyond her own doorstep in San
Francisco, so the San Francisco
woman is not to be judged by any but
her own standard.
We are not prepared to say that the
line of ''Oonts," with lis silly neck
a-bobbin like a basket full o. snakes
applies directly to the San Francisco
woman's gait. 1t is only under stress
Of certain circumstances that there is
a noticeable projecting of a long
slender neck, notably in the last block
of steep hill climb, that gets the head
of the girl to the corner unduly earlier
than her feet And in the event of her
coming down the hill, holding back so
as to preserve what poise she may, feet
and neck are usually in line while the
rest of the body curves backward Civ
ing the suggestion of a halfblown
crescent until a level is reached. The
San Francisco woman has to use her
neck something as the greyhound uses
his tail-both for the same purpose that
a kite has tail; it gives balance and
direction, but the meek a-bobbin' eff

Some of these removals are, of course,
