MRS. STETSON STILL
 ON THE GRILL
Especial from United Press.)

Boston. Nov. IT, Despite the issu- ance of a rigid statement of Mrs Au- gusta Stetson in which she acknowl- edges the authority of the Christian Science board of trustees and bows to their discipline, the secret trial of the New York leader for contumacy and the use or malicious animal magnet Ism" proceeded here today. e
 Although Mrs. Stetson had been on the grill for twenty full hours yester- day and the day before, not one word of what has .transpired at her hearing has been made public and today be- fore the session the trustees of the church again refused to talk or even to drop a hint as to when the inqtiisi- ton would end
 Though the impression was spread first issued that her submission meant the end of the charges against her and the coming of peace in the Christian Science cut, todayis proportion of her ordeal has given rise to a. new feeling. It is now thought byamany that in is suing this statement Mrs. .Stetson tried to spike the guns of her foes so that, in case she is communicated she will be able to make an appeal for sym pathy from her friends. It would seem as well understood by the mem- bers of the board which is examining Mrs. Stetson as one and all of them flatly refused to comment on her ut terance in any way and all seemed surprised that at this time she should have so taken the public into her con- fidence. Mrs. Stetson arrived at the Christian Science headquarters today shrouded, as usual, in a big veil. She make any further comment on her po- sition

FASHIONS AND PADS

Boieros and garnitures of jet as well as of net embroidered in the metallic sequins are among the dressiest access sories for the handsome evening gown.
 Moire hatbands. finished with the square bow, are seen as the sole trim ming on some of the tailored hats. These may be bought ready to slip on any nat
 trimming on some gowns This is de- cidedly effective, whether put on in bands. or used in outlining some large design.
 Satin soliel, satin prunelIa. wool cashmere. Bedford cord and a long list of fancy striped and corded effects in worsteds are some late fall impor- tations.
 The Cufrass gown is still seen among the smart models. but it is now fitted in at the waist line. where last season it dropped over with less clear definition.
 The underarm gusset, let in from the armpit to the hip affords a new place for handsome trimming. Some of the tailored garments have this underarm trimming of fur
 The winter dress of diaphanous weave is weighted with shot around the hem. Were it not for the weight tape many skirts of the period would never hang evenly.
 Fancy buttons of metal or jet are used for fastening the long fur coats. Usually there are four large buttons, none of them more than fifteen inches below the waistline.
 One of the fashionable tailored stocks for the coming season is strip of linen button-holed on each edge with a jabot pinned in front the pin giv- ing a touch of color.
 Many beautiful fur scarfs, lined with silk, are draped loosely about the shoulders and knotted below the chest from which hang two irregular ends near the hem of the gown.
 Ernine will be used more evening than for day wear, though some of the black fur coats show pretty flat col lars made of this fur to offset the dead blackness of the other fur.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

To prepare caramel. sweet potatoes, boil and slice the potatoes and dip them first in melted butter and then in granulated sugar. Put into hot oven until a coating or brown cara mel is formed.
 Never neglect to moisten linen that is to be drawn; using damp rag or small sponge. The threads will pull more easily if the line to be drawn is rubbed with soap after being moisten-
 A bottle that has contained catsup is difficult to clean. If cold water is poured into it and allowed to stand the work will be greatly simplified. the catsup.
 Lavender should be gathered before frost touches it, dried in the house, then cut into small pieces, stalks as to small bags to be put away among the clothing
 For delicious cheese balls, buy some cottage cheese. work it smooth with butter and season well with parme- sian cheese. Season with salt and paprfka, make into small balls and serve with salad course.
 Orange or grape fruit salad is quick ly made and will help out many hurry-up meal. Peel the fruit, slice pieces on lettuce and pour rich French dressing over them.
 If buttermilk is used in place of sweet or sour milk in making biscuit the pastry will be delicious. Butter milk makes a lighter batter and fewer eggs are needed in a batter made with buttermilk for cakes.

REMARKABLE SEA STORM SCENE IN
 JACKSON'S SHOW
"Brewsler's Millions" Pleases at Open.
 ing Performance Last Evening.

Frederick Thompson production of Brewster's Millions at Jackson's thea- tre last evening brought to Bridge port theatre-goers for second time one of the most remarkable ship-board scenes ever staged. Robert Ober in the role Of Monty Brewster, formerly occupied by Edward Abeles, was giv- en a cordial welcome by fair sized audience and the supporting company entered with enthusiasm into the en- Itertaining story of frenzied finance and romance The audience surely made up for it's lack of proportion with en- thusiasm.
 Dramatized from George Barr Mo Cutcheon's novel, the play moves through a series of incidents with ra- pidity and unfagging interest. Young Brewster, the heir to a million, finds himself confronted with the task or getting rid of the entire million with in a year in order to receive be- quest of seven times that amount from a grandfather who was hostile to nls first benefactor-
 He enters into business hoping by system to accomplish his stupendous task of spending s3,O0o a day Follow ing the stock market against his gooo judgment, playing three races. gambl- ing at Monte Carlo, he finds the rates always against him, for instead Of los ing he keeps amassing his fortune faster than he can spend it.
 There is a delightful tinge of TO- nance in the story, Monty being 1orc- ed to keep secret from the girl he loves the reason for his apparently unrea- soning dissipation of wealth At length. in the Mediterranean on a cruise in the hope of spending as fast in maintaining an expensive party on a splendid yacht, he unwittingly leads his friends to believe him bereft or his reason. They seize him, thrust hlm into prisonment and start for New York A terrific storm, arises in the midst of which the yacht is disabled, and he then finds an opportunity to e1- pend a vast amount for salvage.
 In this shipboard scene, MT Thomp- son has a marvel of stage craft The signing of the wind through the rig ging, the chug-chug of the motor boat tenders, the rippling of the waves, the rising of the wind to tempest, the swirling of the waters, the mad rush through the storm, all are depicted with amazing fidelity. This scene alone is well worth witnessing. It excited unwonted enthusiasm last evening. May Talbot as Peggy Monty's sweetheart, filled the role with ingenious charm 1via Benton gave a sincere enactment of the role of the ambitious chorus girl starred by Monty. Grace Arnold was dashlng Janice Armstrong, of literary and pla- tonic propensities, Emily Iytton was an ideal -chaperone, imparting to the role of Mrs. Dan DeMille a matronly whoIe-souled spirit that rang true The play will be repeated this afternoon and evening.
