Fancy for Long TOpcoats, Cover.
ing the Frock, viii Increase
Its Popularity.

Topcoats are smartest when built of
rather heavy. shaggy stuffs, Scotch
hor1espun in neutral colorings being the
~favorite material; but the cut is run
ningiy arranged to give most slender,
graceful lines with no suggestion of
bulk or clumsiness, and huge pockets,
belts and big buttons max these long
coats very dashing. indeed. Serge top.
coats of navy blue with jet buttons and
black silk facings are also smart, and
many of these well-cut coats will be
seen with the approach of colder
weather.
Paris has o N mad owe Russian
effects. and this will have a tendency
to delay the establishment of the Louis
XVI. styles, on which sthe big cou-
turisrs are determined. Russian caf-
tans, such as Tclstoy wears, will be
seen both in coats and frocks, and the
huge Russian hussar hat is making
itself a power in fall millinery. The
cord glrdle which the Russian peasants
YEA about the waist with the caftan
is suggested in these Russian coats by
a belt, set quite low-almost over the
hips, and the skirts of the coat fall
below the knees. Most elaborate trim
mings in the form of braidlng and en-
broidery trim these rich Russian coats
of velvet and silk.
For everyday wear styles are most
practical, and not a woman but
breathes a sigh of devout thankfulness
that skirts for the street are once more
in comfortable walking length. Last
years trailing, skinny Directoire skirts
were truly an abomination which all
bore with fortitude, If not with grace.
The new skirts of trotabout suits are
almost invariably pleated In some way
or other. Sometimes the pleats are set
on a yoke, but the smartest new models
show pretty little tunics, or over
skirts" as they are now called, cut in
circular style and falling over the
pleated founce set on at the Knees.
These circular tunicsA are cat in deep
points at the bottom and often they
close at the front under a row of big
buttons.
Coats. even in the simplest suits, are
very long; and this great length, to-
gether with the graceful. semi-fitting
lines, give an air Of elegance and dis
~tinction never possible in a short jacket
Perfect cut and tailoring are the inn
portant things in simple models of this
sort which are the supreme test of thu
l%clever maker.
Serges, cheviots and %whipcords in tive
tones or plain c%olorings are used 70
these street suits, and by the way
much darker colors are the rule thii
fall-coal dust, the new gray; raisin,
deep purplish shade, myrtle and bottl
green. dull old blue and very dark sea
and chocolate browns being most callet
for in the shops where high-class dres
goods are measured off.
Fancy buttons, velvet and silk lape
facings and touches Of braiding or EN-
broidery, used discreetly, add snap ant
individuality to some OF these plair
tailored coats whose chief distinction
however. lies in their faultless cut am
fine lines.

A NEW WAY TO CAN T0MATOES..t

Last summer ] tried a new method
Of canning tomatoes, and it proved SO
satisfactory that / want to pass 1t on.
Scald and peel the tomatoes as usual.
Have the cans sterilized, place the raw
tomatoes In them whole. pour in boiling
water to fill the cans, running a knife
around in the cans, so that all the
crevices are filed; then put on the
cover. Place the can in a boiler or
large vessel, pouring In boiling water
till it reaches the neck of the can, put
the lid on the boiler. wrap it with a
blanket or rug, and leave until the
water is cold, which will be next norm
ing. The cans are then ready to put
away. l did not lose a can out OF forty
quarts. When the cans We're opened
the tomatoes were. whole and firm
enough-to slice easily.

Dear Margery Doom:
Please tell me how to go about securing

wide-awake and anxious to make
good" and I have no doubt but what

r. favorite Old Poems Of Famous Poets
The Death of the Flowers.
Born 1894.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
NO. LxI.

The melancholy days are ONE the
saddest of the year,
OF wailing winds, and naked woods,
and meadows brown and scar.
\ Nped in the hollows of the grove, the
j autumn leaves lie dead;
they rustic to the eddying gust, and
to the rabbits tread.
The robin and the wren are flown, and
from the shrubs the Jay,
And from the wood tor calls the crow
through all the gloomy day.
The wind flower and the violet, they
persisted long age,
And the brier-rose and the orchids died
amid the summer glow;
But on the hill the golden-rod, and the
aster in the wood,
And the yellow sunflower by the brook
in autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear old
heaven, as falls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was
gone from upland, glade and glen.

To call the squirrel and the bee from

When the sound of dropping nuts Is

And twinkle in the smoky light the
waters of the rill;
The south-wind searches for the flow

And signs to find them in the wood and

So gentle and so beautiful, should
