Woman in Life and in the Kitchen.
EAps AND FASHIONS.

Black and white veilings are chiefly
in favor.
Long gloves are leaping into new
popularity.
Solid green's are promised a decided
popularity.
Coiffures, are going back to the
Greek fashion.
Sleeves show more fullness at the
top and less length.
The scarf of fashion is usually of
the color of the hat.
Co1ors generally are less vivid, and
black is to be much worn.
Hair ribbons for girls are narrower,
and the bows less conspicuous.
Everything that is not black or
som5re now seems to be striped.
Tunics are quite long and are edged
with heavy frings of silk or beads.
Handbags are often made to match
the gowns with which they are car
ried.
Wells as well as scarfs and shawls
of black ChantiIly lace are very smart.
Filet and square mesh wells are be-
loved by the Paris woman of fashion.
Every new gown with the high
waist line has a sash or girdle of some
sort.
1t will be brown winter in mems
attire-With d general liking for soft
hats.
Rough surfaced cloth is very strong
in the fancy of Womankind this sea-
son, not only in the wide diagonals
with which we are familiar, but in the
newer mannish suitings that have a
mixture and mingling of heavy and
light threads, and several colors which
are blended into a harmonious general
tone.

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW.

Serve caper sauce with boiled NUT
ton, mint sauce with roast lamb,
grated horseradish with roast beef,
apple sauce with roast goose, tomato
sauce with roast veal, cucumber or
egg sauce with fish and cranberry
sauce with roast turkey.
To prevent jams and jellies from
granting, add a teaspoonful of cream
of tartar to every gallon.
When frying mush, dip slices first in
white of egg. This makes them crisp.
To prevent a dish from slipping
when placed on the ice. put a rubber
ring (such as comes on all ordinary
fruit jars) underneath it.
Stockings will wear longer if per-
afffn is rubbed over the sOles before
they are worn for the first time.
After mush has thoroughly cooked,
leave it for at least five minutes and
there viii be no waste from sticking to
the kettle.
If the window cords are wiped off oc-
casionally with an oiled cloth they will
last much longer.
One of the newest curtains is made
of green linen crash appliqued with a
heavy patterned copper colored cIuny
lace.
What is left of a roast of beef will
keep moist if wrapped in a piece of
linen or waXed paper
Dry all dish and cleaning cloths in
the sun, as sunshine is a great deodor-
izer.

A CELEBRATION BANQUET.

The democrats or Maine are not to
be chided for celebrating their victory
with n banquet which is TO cost So a
plate. This is quite a departure from
Colonel Bryan's real democratic ban
quot which should never cost over 81
a plate. but it is for the lea ders, not
the rank and file. This cautionary
word from the Portland Express to
the democrats is certainly timely:
In the exuberance of their joy be-
cause the Offices are coming into their
possession. the democrats must not
forget that it is up to them now to
nal Re credfts Bile history. The majority
~ the democratic party in Maine is
as anxious for good government as
are any other citizens OF the state

adventurers among their leaders the

THE ATTEMPT TO GLoRIFY LoR.
INFER

In all parts Of the country the re-
publican party IS divided by a crazy
fsctionalism which is the onC real
evidence of republican degeslera cy.
Think Of the friends Of Senator Lori
lner featuring a monster banquet in
his interest at which 10000 plates will
be spread. and then inviting Presi-
dent Taft to compromise himself by
presiding. when three members of the
legislature have confessed that they
were bribed TO vote for Lorimer. and,
though the man charged with deliver
ing the money has been freed at one
~ his trials. the suspicion against
Lorimer win not be quoted. Even
were he innocent Of any relation to
tbs crime. he is tho bensficary Of II
and has indicated no conjunction
therefor.
The Toledo Blade is right when it
says: The president of the United
States IS to be asked TO break bread
with this man He is to be asked to
lend the light OF his approval to the
political practices with which Lorimer
ts associated He is to be asked to
endorse him as worthy citizen, a
dss4ra bic statesman. though detectives
and reporters are now striv ng fever
iahly to pick up the threads between
The senator and the democratic leader
who handed over the rewards
The friends Of Lorimer are un-
deubtediy frantic-as the dispatches
say they are. The senator would do
vel! to corral them and hold them in
ssfekeeping until sanity returns to
them"

A RATHER PLEASING EVENT.

10 is pleasing to the friends Of the
late Governor LilleE that Henry Sher-
man Boutell Of Illinois has been de-
feated by 10000 majority, after having
been elected to seven congresses and
made a name there as one of the
strongest members in the house OF

supporter Of Cannon in all his
schemes. 1t makes no difference to
the friends Of Mr.. Lilley, whom he
detained in a letter noted for its bill

graduate or Harvard. who became
highly successful in his profession in
Chicago and brought TO his service

Of ability and earne=tness His con-
duct as a member Of the investigat-
marine boat business. his share in
making the fight against Congress
man Lilley a personal matter and us
ing language wholly unbecoming a
scholar or gentleman, are
made matters Of record. 1t is not
strange that even Boaitelrs friends
say Speaker Cannon has rot been the
type OF man who ought to fill the sec

The Surprise Gown.

1t bids fair to become a feature of
the fall styles.
The chief material is serge of cloth.
Its aspect, when the coat is worn,
is one of extreme but distinguished
simplicity. AS such it is suited even
to travelling wear.
But remove the coat and there ap-
pears a delightful little dress smart
enough for a luncheon party.
Only the lower part of the skirt is of
the aforementioned serge or cloth.
Above is moulded over the figure a
softness of satin c1armeuse or mir
ror, combined with dictate bits of
trimming and exquisite handwork.
There will be found many telling
contrast of color in silk cord embroid-
cries and satin pipings, with perhaps
a finishing tough of a little tasseled
satin tie and rundown collar of en-
broidered lawn.
Such a costume as this is a. service

the woman who goes out" to a mod

A BRIDGEPORT CERTAINTY.

1t is plea SAINT to reflect that how
ever the day may go-whether the vic
tory falls to democrat or republican
Bridgeport is certain to have the hon
or of furnishing the next secretary of
state. The denomination of Matthew
Fl. Rogers by the republicans creates
an interesting situation. Mr.. Rogers
has made an excellent record in office,
and his activity and impartiality will
assuredly count in his favor. On the
other hand, Zalmon Goodsell. who is
the choice of the democrats, is an ex-
tremely popular citizen, who, in the
DAYS when he took a leading part in
politics. filled various offices with ca
pability and distinction The contest
will doubtless be good natured one;
but it is certain to be very earnestly
carried out. Fortunately Bridgeport
cannot lose in any case Both men
are desirable incumbents of the office,
and it is safe in the hands of either
candidate. 1t would be an admirable
thing if the latter state of affairs ex-
listed in regard to every place upnn
the Bridgeport Telegram.
md Bridgeport deserves this ca
tlinty. The industrial center of the
STATE as we'll as the most popuoys,
spould have at least one star THAI
never sets since it is not possible for
il to have a flag that the sun alwa s

To Set Colors.

The best general rule for setting
coIors ordains that grays. dark blues
and black should be soaked in a strong
strained brine for five or six hours.
Then wash very quickly. All shades
of red-pink, crimson scarlet and pur-
pie, green in all it's varieties, light blue,
lavender and mauve are best soaked
in alum water, made by dissolving in
boiling water all the alum it will take
up, letting it get cold and then i'm
mersing the fabrics in it.
Sugar of lead-an ounce to two gal
Ions of waterway be used to set fast
the colors in mixed goods. Black is
kept from dingying and browning by
mixing oxgall in the water in which the
gown is soaked before washing.
