MIXED THE TELEGRAM.
How a Palisade Hubby Spoiled a
Pleasant Home Coming.

The wife of his bosom had been
away for three weeks, leaving hubby
to take care of the house and the dogs
during her absence. Time dragged
heavily upon his hands, SO he was
overjoyed on a Saturday night on re-
celving the following telegram:
Leave Washington three o'clock,
arrive at Jersey City around eight
o'clock. Prepare no dinner for US
have plenty of fruit Love. NJ"
Accordingly hubby rugged himself
out in his best bib and tucker, went
down to meet the train at Jersey City,
having read the telegram to the hired
girl, who saw that there was no dim
ner for the home-comers.
All went we'll, and the party was
duly met and escorted home, where
they arrived about nine o'clock In half
an hour wife announced:
Il am fearfully hungry. Where's
that fruit | telegraphed you about?"
And the unsuspecting hubby asked:
Wasn't that it in the basket |
lugged home from Jersey City,"
What are you talking about?"
asked his wife, with considerable en-
phasis.
why, the fruit you telegraphed you
had, answered the slightly agitated
hubby.
Are you crazy, or what is bother
ing your mind?" with more emphasis.
Not at all. Here's the telegram.

aloud, you said, Prepare no dinner

Table Linen Up to Date.

In the new table linen tablecloths
with designs are taking second place.
The newest cloth is a plain white
damask with six inch satin border
with large monograms embroidered In
diagonal corners or at opposite ends
The advantage of these plain cloths is
that they show off the beauty of GEN.
terpieces and doilies, having no pat
tern to distract the attention. Striped
cloths are also favorites. either plain or
with large flowers scattered over the
satiny lengths and forming the borders.
The poppy and ball pattern Is one of
the new ones, also the bali and bow
knot.
The round cloths with scalloped
edges and napkins to match are much
used, the only difficulty being in laun-
dering them at home SO they will lie
fat on the table.
Madeira work In centerpieces. doilies
and cloths has ousted lace from popu-
larity. Cloths having the centers en-
broidered need no centerpiece and are
used on polished tables without any
undercloth. But lace cloths of the
cluny, filet and venetian variety are
very beautiful and still hold their own
for ceremonious occasions.
The large dinner napkin is still used
at dinners but the next size is quite as
popular Luncheon napkins are hem
stitched with narrow hens and are
small, designed to be used only once.

THE HEART APRON.

It is cut from lawn, crossbar muslin
or similar material in the shape of a
heart with an almost rounding point
1t is edged with ruff1e of lace. The
grooved part of the heart comes at the
top, and to this is attached with lace
beading a bit Of the material for the
upper part, just enough to fasten with
a fancy pin to the lower part Of the
blouse. Ribbon of a delicate shade is
run through the beading at the front
and forms the strings. A heart shaped
patch pocket is put on the side and
narrow ribbon run around it, outlin-
ing it.

bill for her creations. The question
has been asked a thousand times by
astonished husbands who pay these
bills how 1t is possible to put such
price a hat. For the millionaire's
wife pays anywhere from $25 to $500
for her chapeau, and the wife not in
the money class tries to keep pace
with her more fortunate sister.
Now about the price of hats. In the
first place the plain hat of the expen-
sive sort is imported from Paris and
costs the milliner from SO to s25 as
against 50 to SO only ten years ago.
This hat. though it follows the pre-
vailing fashion and though this fash
ion may be ridiculous in the extreme.
is nevertheless artistic in line and gen.
eral form.
Perhaps it is desirable to make the
hat a color to match madame's frock.
The artist milliner has in her employ a
Frenchman whose business it is to
color hats any shade or tint. He
brings his dyes from Paris. and no
American can do this work. And his
salary is a large one.
The trimmings and materials for this
hat are of course imported also. A sew
enty-five dollar imported feather may be
the principal part of the trimming. Per-
haps on a green ground 1t is decided
that pink and blue roses will harmo-
nize best with the wearer's outfit If
these colors are not in stock monsieur
brings out his dye pots and gets to
work. Then one has to pay for the art
Of the milliner in combining the nu-
ances. And 1T is a Frenchwoman in
/ the best establishments, too, who does
the work on small hats and toques
She has been a worker for one of the
famous firms in Paris-for Charlotte
possibly. or Georgette or Camille
Roger. If her speciality is the sailor
hat she has probably been with Marie
Louise.
! The two hats illustrated are charm
| ing Partisan models that are not ex-
IRENE, but at the same time are very
/ chic. One of the creations is of old
rose velvet trimmed with dark bronze
green coz plumage. And the other
hat is one of the new soft fluffy felt
shapes. 1t Is bound With velvet and
has a mount of choice cog feathers in
front

Walking Good For Women

Walking is one OF the best autumn
exercises. 1t develops almost every
muscle in the human body. What is
more. it is fashionable to walk, and
the fad is to swing along a smooth
country road. breathing the fresh air
and getting an outdoor wind bath.
Teachers. physicians and parents are
encouraging the fad with all their pow
er. 1t is wholesome, inexpensive and
healthful method of exercising. Al
though the popularity of walking as an
exercise is assured. women differ as to
their ideas of pedestrianism and the
practical side of it

Peach Roosevelt is made with
fresh peaches. To prepare this palate
ticker properly select the largest and
finest freestone peaches you can buy.
They must be wholly ripe. but not too
soft. Wash and pare them and cut in
halves, removing the stones. Then in
the place originally occupied by the
stone put a tablespoonful of chocolate
ice cream in which is inbedded a
blanched almond. Almonds are blanch-
ed by soaking them in hot water for a
few minutes. then peeling off the
brown skin.
Press the two halves Of each peach
firmly together. Have ready a saucer
of vanilla ice cream. Place the peach
in this and with a knife smooth the
cream all round the peach, making
