A FALL rHIMeLE PARTY.

If YOU are thinking OF giving Thin
bic party this fall here are some good
ideas for prize contests.
Give to each guest ave inch patch
OF sheer linen. each with a Jagged tear
across the middle In the corner Of the
patch stick a needle threaded with
bright red cotton. Ten minutes is given
TO darn the hole. a prize being awarded
for the hole most neatly dRrned and the
one most bungled. As the thread IL Of
bright color r. is not easy to make a
neat piece Of work even for a skillful
needlewoman.
Another set of gray linen patches
could be passed for a "Chantecler" con-
test. Each patch should be accompa-
MED by a pencil. needle and gay cot
tons. The guests must draw one OF the
"Chantecler" characters These must
then be embroidered IN the gay threads
to resemble the special fowl repre-
sented.
Another good test is to sew yard
seam with a darning needle threaded
with 100 cotton. A given time Is allow
ed. which no one must exceed. and she
who gets through in the shortest time
Is the winner. Only persons who have
sewed with a coarse needle and fine
thread know the handieaps Of this con-
test.
Much fun is caused by a needle
threading race. A No. Il needle and
100 cotton are used. There is q time
limit. and prizes are awarded for the
swiftest. most graceful. most awkward
and slowest needle threading.

say about the testing OF eggs: The
method is known as Gambling and has
been familiar for some time. especial
~ among dealers. The room is dark
ened and the egg held between the
eye and the light The presence OF
dark spots indicates that the egg is not
perfectly fresh. A fresh one presents
a translucent, homogeneous appear
ance. Moreover. there is found In the
larger end between the shell and the
lining membrane a small air cell. which.
Of course. is distinctly transparent. In
an egg that is not perfectly fresh this
space is filled and hence presents the
same appearance as the rest OF the egg.

NHE fashions OF TO-DAY are TOT the
most part the vogues Of 9TH
er days worked over by Pari-
sian couturiers. Especially is
this the case with the eccentric two
story millinery that is being sent TO US
from the French capital. It includes a
hat, generally a large shape, worn over
a cap Of lace. This style Is a revival
Of the headwear that fiourished for a
short time IN the eighteenth century.
Queen Caroline OF England Is said 20
have introduced the mode. and the old
print reproduced among the illustra-
lions shows this queen arrayed in a
cap ana hat of the sort. The fashion
obtains still IN some parts Of Holland
where countrywomen imprison their
hair in golden casques covered with
fine, sometimes very costly. lace with
hats over them. ] hardly think Anneri-
can women will take up with enthusi-
asnl the cap and hat idea. but dainty
friil Of lace is very fetching hanging
from the inside OF a big picture hat
And there is. too, an undeniable charm
about the turhan-lilSe cap OF silver
lace ornamented with tiny rosebuds
that is the first story OF one Of the
hats seen in the cuts Then who
knows but what these double deckers
will be taken up by the matinee girl?
There IS every reason ITO think that
they viii be. Not only lace. but fringe
is used for the hat valance" and tulle
as well as lace for the cap turban.
But there is nothing friily anent the
fall and winter frocks. The edict has
gone forth that they are to be straight
up and down-in other words. 10 be

Of a sylph. Every woman must know
the silhouette Of the season when plan
