USING THE CHAFING DISH.

How One Housekeeper Tides Over
the Maids Absence on Thursday.
From the Boston Herald
Neither the gas range nor the oil stove
has succeeded in banishing the chatting
dish from well-appOinted tables. There
Is a difference between frequent absences
from the room and a system whereby
the mistress Of the home merely fits
among her guests or the family, without
disturbing conversation. and that can be
accomplished by the chafing dish and
some preparatory planning.
The manner in which a few women
tide over the maids absence on Thurs
day Is worth talking about. The dinner
table Is laid BY the maid. who prepares
the food as far as she is able. The des-
sert IS made and left in the refrigerator
and the salad ingredients washed and
chilled. Generally the salad dressing Is
made in the morning. as are cake and
pudding sauces. The housewife places
the china needed for the meal on the
serving table and leaves a place In the
pantry or closet or on the sideboard for
soiled dishes, 10 be carried 10 the kitchen
at the close OF the meal
When she is ready 10 begin her chatting

she has everything at hand, and If the
process is a lengthy one 1t IS started far
enough before the dinner hour TO be
ready TO serve when wanted. There is
no need Of monotony in the Thursday
bill Of fare. for the number OF chatting
dish recipes has never yet been estimate
ed. Steak. chops. fish, ham, and bacon
can be as well cooked In this way as

Furs Now Popular in Millinery

From the Millinery Trade Review.
Although the weather hardly warrants
the use OF them. furs are being displayed
and sold in gratifying quantities. The
fur turban, it seems unnecessary to
state, is strong, but fashion, has decreed
that fur shall be combined with Other
materials TO be really at its best. Very
smart are the fur hats that have their
crowns of tapestry or of velvet. There
are turbans of draped plush or furry
beavers that pass for fur at a distance,
and many of these have tapestry crowns
or other ornamentation.
The furs favored by the ultra fashion
ables are eivet cat, a notified black and
white skin that is stunning; red fox, or
for that matter. fox of all kinds, skunk
seal, and ermine- White furs will be
much worn this winter particularly with
black velvet.
The large hats. and there are many
huge examples OF this style OF head
dress, are trimmed in divers ways with
fur. Sometimes the crown or entire tor
Of the hat Is covered with fur, tail and
head, or a large velvet rose being used
TO trim. or. again. there is a band OF
fur introduced around the crown, not
however. at its base. but around the top
on at or near the brim edge.
Fur is used on the new lace and metal

seasons millinery, as it did in last.
Auto bOnnets of fur and ehamois OF
tapestry are being shown in many pretty
as well as practical designs. The re-
tailers report a strong demand for black
and white effects-the white always be-
ing the trimming. Steel on black Is
very good. A favorite color scheme is
steel or gray and rose or cherry.

Little girls must have a touch OF ths

princess panel is introduced IN their
dainty robes. This gives long, I'M
broken front and is very becoming TO
iittle maids. In the dress shown in our
illustration the panel is stitched at each
edge to produce the appearance OF
wide box-pleat and two tucks are placed
at the shoulders. In front these extend
only to yoke depth, but in the back
they continue to the waist line. From
the panel a belt extends to the CENTER
back closing. The skirt is killed from
the front panel backward to the closing.
A simple sleeve is gathered at the top
and finished with a cuff. The dress may
BE made vita high or low neck and the
sleeve may be cut off at any desired
length. Challis, lawn. gingham and SINH
lar materials, with little lace OF en-

dress. The pattern (4620 Is in sizes 6 to

PERSONAL CHRISTMAS CARDS.
One Remembrance that Must Be Or
dered Before November 20.

dered before November 20.
There is one Christmas remembrance
that cannot be bought in New York after
November %. Even if ordered the first
OF November. the order viii have TO
specify first. second. and third choice.
These remeinbrances with which one
must be SO forehanded are personal
Christmas cards made In England. They
came into fashion here only a very few
years ago. and are becoming increasingly
popular.
Christmas cards may be put into three
classes-the card. whether simple or elab-
crate. which merely expresses the sea-
sons greeting and might come from any
body; autograph cards, and personal
cards
Autograph cards have been extremely
popular for several years. They have
more or less decoration. a sentiment. and
then a blank line. preceded by the word
From" The sender writes his (gener-
ally herr name on the line. and then the
recipient knows at least that it's a new
card not an old one. that the sender
received the year before.
But the personal card is the last cry
in Christmas cards. They are like the
that instead of blank line for the auto
graph the senders name is printed or
engraved with the sentiment or verse Of
greeting Most of these cards are i'm
ported from England, and that is why, if
you want them. you must order them
before.
The statiOners who make a speciality
OF the cards have been filing orders for
them since July. for the wise ones order
early! so as 10 get their choice OF de-
signs. From now on all orders must ex-
press first, second and third choice, as
many of the designs become exhausted.
The prices range from So 10 S6.25 dozen.
or from SO to $40 a hundred. Some OF
the covers are beautiful. and the letter
ing is embossed in gold. verse, name.
address, and date, all in the same type
and color.
When asked why they did not impart
the elaborate covers and print the inner
leaves containing the verse. name, and
address in this country, one stationer
said:
brilliant thought. I had it myself
But we found that labor was so very
high here that it would cost us almost
as much merely to print the inside leaves
as to import the whole thing"
However, we do make some OF these
personal cards i'm this country, and as
they cost more than the imported cards
they are, OF course. the most exclusive
styles. They are embossed with holly
or some Christmas emblem. and the rest
is all engraved in heavy script A good
sized card of this style will have an
initial cost of from so 10 SIS for the first
dozen. OF course, after that the cost is
less. but it is by no means a cheap way
of saying Merry Christmas"

Missouri Town Names.

From the Fairfax Forum.
In the good old freighting the town
was called st Jo," and the people were
rather proud of II. In fact. the town that
could find an abbreviation took TO it AT
once. Thus the visitor 10 the West thirty
years ago was greeted by the sign on the
depots of "l1-worth," and it was even
said that Wyandotte was proud to record
itself with ''Y'' and dot" appearing
