SuperstitiOus Sewing

Superstition is rife IN the workrooms
OF dressmakers. II the points Of the
scissors stick into the floor when they
fall II is a sign that a mourning order
will shortly be sent IN. II is a sign
that is viewed with dismay when the
season is at its busiest and patrons are
clamoring for their clothes. Many are
the conjectures as TO whether II will
be from a good customer who cannot
be denied or from one for whom ma
dame viii not put aside her other
work.
To upset a bowl Of pins means a
disappointment, but II only half of
them should be split the careless one
may look for a surprise. A knot In
the sewing thread signifies a gift. and
to accidentally stitch two ends to-
gether to form a circle shows that
there will be a wedding In the workers
family within a year. II a girl should
take up two pins together and stick
them in before discovering what she
has done then she can at once begin
to plan out her honeymoon trip and
look over her bottom drawer" for II
is a sure sign that her own marriage

Every woman in the land from the
highest to the lowest takes an interest
in the bride and her gowns. therefore
to those who work on them there is a
special charm about the snowy satins
and laces that go to make up the dress
for the great occasion. If girl pricks
her finger ever so slightly and sees
even the tiniest speck Of blood fall OF
the wedding dress the regret is genu-
ine-not for the stain, which often does
not show, but because Il is an omer
that the bride will die before she has
known a years bliss Of married life
To work a hair in accidentally while
sewing on a dress indicates that more
work is coming from the customer Il
q garment is continually slipping from
the lap Of the girl who is working OF
IL despite her efforts to keep II up does
that show that she is holding It care
lessly? Not at all II is a sure sign thai
the garment is going TO give satisfac-
tion.
But suppose that after the most IA
vorable omens have accompanied its
journey through the workroom the
garment fails to please-what then
Well, the messenger who carried Il
home must have passed piebald pony
or walked under a ladder without
crossing her fingers and wishing, and
isn't that enough to counteract any
amount Of previous good luck?

The table seen in the Illustration is
imbued with the holiday spirit. One OF

fasten with sprigs Of holly at the cor
ners of the board. In the center is a
large bell. and on the ribbons at regu-
lar intervals are smaller ones. These
bells are covered with cotton wool lib

TO SOFTEN The LINE.

Few skins can stand a line Of dead
black or white next to them. II this
point is not studied the entire beauty
OF a gown and the good appearance Of
its wearer may be sacrificed. The
safest plan is TO introduce an edge Of
flesh colored tuIle to break the sudden
change from skin to robe. and It must
be remembered that the pale woman
should choose a lighter shade OF tulle
than does the sister with the bru-
nette skin. Transparent yokes Of
black or white are more becoming IL

an evening dress Of black the idea Of
solid black is to be preserved the tint

stroy the illusion of all black.

THE most intelligent idea OF this sew

buttonholed flannel for a needle holder.
Ribbon strings six inches long are Sc
curely fastened in the center of the
lobes OF the two solid sections. which
are placed opposite each other. These
ribbons tie the case together when
folded. which is accomplished by
doubling back the separated heart
portions and placing over them the re-
naming two hearts.
The outside section has for decora-
tion a bow Of the ribbon with four
loops and two rather long ends. This
case is a useful present for the wo-
man who travels. Being perfectly nat.

HOW TO OBTAIN A GRACEFUL FIGURE

actly the same foods and one win grow
stout and the other remain quite thin.
SO when a woman discovers that her
weight is increasing steadily and far
more than she wishes 1t Is worse than
useless to adopt the semistarvation
plan. for to do this Is to court a nerv-
GUS breakdown. There are many SO
called Obesity cures" but they are not
TO be recommended, for they merely by
semistarvation cause the fatty tissue
to shrink. which gives a most unbe-
coming fiabby appearance TO both face
and figure.
The most harmless obesity cure is to
have a physician prescribe something
that will act on the patients liver and
kidneys to invigorate them and act as
general tonic TO the system. OF
course in cases OF hereditary fat this
advice does not hold good, and there
is but one thing TO do. grin and bear
a.

When choosing mutton see that the
lean is firm and bright red The fat
should be hard and white. and the
meat should have not the faintest sug-
gestion OF a smell.
When choosing lamb see that the
lean is smooth and family pink. The
fat should be quite white and should
have a crisp. light appearance.
When choosing pork see that the
piece Is not overburdened with fat and
that the lean is firm and family pink
Pork which looks at all red has been
clumsily killed, and II Is not as deli

When choosing beef see that the
meat is not too bright a red and that
the grain Is not of too coarse a fiber. II

When choosing bacon see that the
lean is firm and bright and the fat
quite white. Bacon which looks dark
has probably lain in the shop for some
time. DO not take a very large piece,
as this IS apt TO be coarse. A very fat
piece cooks wastefully. and a very lean
one Is apt 10 be hard when cooked.
When choosing a fowl see that the
legs are smooth and the spurs short.
Old fowls have hard feet and scaly
legs. Always look with suspicion on
a fowl Of which the feet have been cut
off as the chances are that they were
removed for fear that they should be-
tray its age.
When choosing FISH see that the flesh
is firm and thick and the gills red.

INTERCOLLEGIATE GOLF
ASSOCIATION FOR WEST
Chick Evans Head of Move to Keep
College Experts Busy in
Middles West.

Chicago Oct. 29.-With the actual
playing season over, the main thing
which attracts the young golfers IN
Chicago now is the organization OF a
western intercollegiate golf Champion
ship. Western Open Champion Charles
tChick"1 Evans, has started cOmmu-
nicatlOn with golfers in western uni
Versities and hopes 10 make arrange
ments whereby he Will get representa-
lty 10 go ahead with the work OF or
ganizatiOn.
The project has been discussed for
number Of years. but has never be
lore been so near realization.
Chicago. Northwestern. Illinois. Wis
consins Indiana, Michigan and Mime
sta are depended upon 10 furnish play
ers for competition.
It is expected that the western inter
collegiate organization Will be Official
ly recognized and sanctioned by the
way as the Eastern intercollegiate is
recognized by the United States Golf
association. The national body fur
nlshes the cup for the eastern play, and
IL is likely that the ". G. A. VIII be
willing 10 put up prize for the west
ern students.
The western tournament would be
conducted along the same lines as the
eastern, with the individual champion
ship and team play.
Among some leading western players
besides Evans. who are expected 70 go
into the movement, are Paul Hunter
and Kenneth Lindsay Of the University
OF Chicago. Harry kimback, Kenneth
Layman and Harold Wyatt Of WiscOn-
sin. Phil Stanton of Michigan and Lynn
Johnson Of Minnesota.

FLETCHER SIGNS

New York. Oct. 29.-The statement

Ilrmed by the crack pitcher who an
nounced yesterday that he was going

ting with the Yankee team. Under the
contract Ford is 10 get $4,000 for the
season, and the fun amount IS 10 be
placed in bank 10 his credit not later
than February 10.
Ford appears TO be a bit hasty in
the matter. for as yet he has not con-
suited Owner Frank Farrell. of the
Yankees, as 10 his salary for next
year There is little doubt that II

eepts Farrels offer he viii be forced
10 become an outlaw il he wishes to
continue in the game under the pro-
visions OF organized. baseball rules.
Agents OF Fletcher in the east gave
out positive information here on Sat
ufday that Iy Cobb, Charles Street and
Walter Johnson had signed optional
agreements TO play with the new cir
cult. They didn't guarantee that these
players would actually desert their
present employers. but they said
Fletcher could show contracts with
their signatures attached. ii was also
said that Fletcher 10 date had signed
more than seyenty-five players from
both major leagues and would make
the list public as soon as the players
who took part in the worlds series and
the local series have received their
money.
Presidents Brush. Farrell and Eb-
bets, OF the local major league clubs
outWardly ignore the Fletcher move
ment. But IL is undersIOO there's
some tail hustling beins done under the
surface.
