provided boots tina, will defy the ele-
ments whether rain, snow or extra cold.
Little boys shoes are of sturdy char
acter, with thick soles, solid heels and
serviceable looking uppers, and they are
moderately priced for the quality offered.
The colt uppers Of these shoes are said
to outwear two and sometimes three soles.
and as the residing Is now so much i'm
proved. the plan being to take the new
sole down to the heel instead Of leaving
space between sole and heel. as for
merly-there will be no difference in ap-
pearance between the new and the re-
soIed shoe.
A popular line for boys school wear Is

full Of cream or rich milk, one even tea
spoonful of soda, two of cream of tartar,
four cupfuIs Of pastry flour and one cup
full of seeded raisins. Cream the butter
and sugar. then stir in the yolks of the
eggs. Add the cream Of tartar to the
flour and sift them together several
, times. Add the soda to the milk and stir
the mixture into the butter. sugar and
yolks. Then beat the whole into the flour
and cream of tartar When smooth add

the eggs. whipped to a very, stiff froth.
through the batter. Do not stir the cake
after the whites are added Butter a
large tube pan and fill it half full. After
it has baked and become cold, Ice it with
a. heavy snow white, icing that will con-

Fruits and vegetables, instead of now
ers, should be the decoration for dinner
tables. For instance, the centerpiece
could be shapely pumpkin, the outside
CT which must be washed and rubbed
until it shines. The top should be taken
off to form a hole four or six inches
large. Then, with strong spoon. the
seeds must be removed. and in this way
the pumpkin becomes a dish for fruits.
If the edge of the top is scalloped the
effect is prettier. To fill the pumpkin ap-
pies and a couple of oranges are first put
in. Then two or three lady apples
give touch Of bright color. Grapes,
both Tokay and white. must be used to
fill crevices. Much additional beauty is
given If punches of grapes are draped on
the outside. this being done easily by
suspending them from the top edge. To
hold the punches in place pieces of steel
wire may be bent to serve as hooks and
tiny pieces of string may be tied to the
grapes to form loops.
Elaboration is given to the pumpkin by
cutting out stripes of 1T lengthwise, SO

Wearing Linen Collars.

Constant wearing of high linen collars

her look at her neck, under the chin, as

lars which are as large as they can be
met If half a size larger than ordinary
is used. When the linen Is very wide 1t
needs to be bigger. because it comes
farther up on the throat. So woman
who usually takes a thirteen should
choose a thirteen and a half. and feel
perfectly certain that her neck arrange

Beyond this there is no way of making
collars contribute to harmlessness. WHAT
ever else is done must be through mas

muscles so they will not become flabby.
A fiesh-building cream should be rubbed
in at night. 1 think, or whenever remov-

hours The fat thus applied will help to
restore roundness to the tissues. None
is more simple than cream OF roses. or
rose water ointment, which can be bought

which makes 1t specially desirable for
throat treatment.
On taking off the collar bit of oint-
ment the size of the end of finger
should be placed on the throat. One hand
is then opened and laid over the throat
cords so that the latter are at the base
of the fingers.
brisk rotary movement should then
be made, first with one hand and then
with the other, until as much of the
grease has been taken up as the skin will
absorb. Probably five minutes will be
consumed in the treatment. and then the
throat should be patted with cold water.
This done, an exercise should be gone

as far back as it will CO. before bending

This is repeated five or ten times. and
then the head is turned first one way

An authority on shoes says that patent
leather should never be kept in cold
closet or one unduly warm. for the rea-
son that both degrees OF heat and cold
cause the leather to crack.
Instead Of these extremes a spot where
the heat is medium should be found.
Cold is worse than heat for patent
leather. When the shoes are to be put
on the feet it will preserve them If the
hand is passed over the shoes, smoothing
them until they feel supple.
They are then less apt to crack. This
gradual warming should never be omitted
when patent leather shoes are first put
on.
