FASHION DEMANDS
THE LONG COAT

Absolutely essential. if one would fol-
low the fashions these days, is the long
ulster or raglan-like coat. Dame Fash
ion is approving very strongly Of sep
arate coats and well-gowned women are
having them made just now in readiness
for winter use.
The loose and comfortable fitting polo.
the reversible coat, the trim serge top
coat, the long tweed ulster and the
handsome broadcloth and fur cloths for
dress occasions.
Usually they are almost perfectly
straight in line-the more they give that
much-wanted and hard-to-get straight
up and down appearance. the more ap-
proved of feminlnity are they.
The rough finished cloths usually have
a piain-colored cloth as trimming-on
the deep revers. the huge collars and
the turn-back cuffs. And the very fash
ionable two-toned cloths which enable
one side to be used for trimming, and
also lining at the same time, are like
wise exceedingly popular.

THE REVIVAL OF
THE CROSS-STITCH
Presents a Popular Form of
NeedleWOrk.

Cross-stitch is at present the most pop
ular of any form of needlework, and the
woman who is planning Christmas gifts
and wants to make them herself should
not overlook the possibilities of this
easy. quickly made embroidery.
The most of the present-day cross
stitch is worked in colored cotton thread
that sells at cents a skein. 1t is used
for decorating table runners, dresser
scarfs. pincushions, children's bibs, and
traycloths, bags, cushions and towels
Centerpieces and doilies are also seen.
1t is very easily made. You buy the
crOss-stitch patterns printed in colors on
sheets of paper ruled off into little
squares, each square representing one
cross-stitch. Then on the material to
be worked you baste a piece of cross
stitch canvas, which is woven in little
open squares, and which comes with
weaves of varying sizes, depending on
whether you desire to make coarse or
fine work.
Use COIOred Cotton.
Now with the colored cottons you fol-
low the pattern, taking care to make all
the stitches cross the same way. A SIM
pie design such as little basket of roses
or a wreath of forget-me-nots, or a tiny
orange tree may be made in less than
an hour.
Choose heavy materials with a decided
texture to work on. 1t gives the work
the appearance of having been woven in.
Hand-woven Russian crash and linen
take cross-stitch particularly well. Huck-
aback tOweling which Is woven in tiny
squares looks we'll with cross-stitch deco
ration. but figured huckaback should not
be used.
AS a suggestion for gifts, here are
the following ideas for small things
which may be made in a short time.
Cut two five-inch squares of gray
Russian crash and one one OF them cross
stitch a little rose tree in a pot. The
flowers will be in two shades of rose,
the foliage green, the pot brown. Sew
the squares together and stuff with
cotton to form a soft pincushion. Over
hand a green silk cord all around the
edge and tie in a bow with loops to
hang it up. This is intended for
bathroom pincushion. II could not cost
more than Is cents.
Cheap Little Gifts.
Buy two yards of huckaback guest
toweling in a plain weave. 1t can be
had as low as 20 cents a yard or as
high as so. Divide the tOweilng into
three equal lengths and hemstitch each
length with inch-wide hens at each
end. On one of them work a little or
ange-colored basket filled with flowers,
the handle tied with blue ribbon On
another Cross-stitCh a wreath of yellow
roses. On the third a small old fash
ioned nOsegay in a cornucopia- like
holder. All of these designs are very
small and take but a short time to do.
These little glfts-which, by the way.
retail in the shops for 81 each-will
cost you no more than so cents apiece,
even II you buy the mostasxpensive
huckaback.

QUOTATIONS BRING
SCORE OF QUESTIONS

To start with, 1 will answer the Ques-
tions that have already come to me
since the publication yesterday of the
new puzzle, which consists this week
of quotations suita BILE for a bridge whist
party.
Some one wanted to know if the name
of the same author occurred in the an
swers more than once
1 am not saying whether it does or
not but there is certainly no objection
TO this recurrence.
Some one else wanted to know if it was
necessary to repeat the quotations IN
sending in the list of answers, to which
question l will say that this is not re-
quired If each answer is properly num-
bered
The puzzle is printed again to-day, but
it will not appear again until Sunday,
when the prize winners are published
and the correct solution given.
1T is not a hard matter to simply
write out the authors Of the card quota
tons" one confident puzzler wrote me
at the bottom of her list, in which she
had accredited fourteen of the twenty
six quotations to the wrong authors.
1t seems to me that it would be the
better plan to look the matter up where
you are not entirely sure, for it is
common error to attribute perfectly IA
miliar quotations to the wrong authors.
Another dear lady wanted to know II
I thought that those who began their
work on the puzzle Monday stood any
chance of winning a Prize.
I can but remind her and others who
have this thought that there have been
many. many weeks when answers re-
ceived at the last minute on Friday won
a Trize. No further back than last week
the second prize was won by a very late
arrival.
The usual rewards are offered for the
solving of this weeks puzzles and 8
for the two most nearly correct solu-
tons that come from the grown-ups, and
81 to the boy or girl under fifteen years
of age who sends the most complete and
correct list.
There has been such an appeal re

scription that 1 am sure of a tremendous
response to the card quotations.

CsBBAGBS BASIS OF
HALLOWEEN FETE

An old gentleman told me that when
he was a boy Halloween was often
called cabbage night, perhaps from
the fact that one of the ways of finding
ones true love is to go into a cabbage
patch and pull off the heads. those hav-
ing long, straight roots signifying life
partners Of fine character, with the
course Of true love running straight
and true, but if a crooked Uoot comes
up the reverse is to be expected. Fate
DEGREES that only one cabbage may tell
the story of each ones future.
With the cabbage idea for a basis, a
hostess may evolve a unique party.
Many possibilities lie within a cabbage
for decoration and for the menu. Take
great big heads, carefully remove the
inside, leaving a bowl made from the
outer leaves and tie around jardinieres
and flower pots, using one for a table
centerpiece filled with fruits and field
berries like mountain ash, barberry, and
cranberry.
Picture frames and doorways may be
cleverly outlined with cabbage leaves
and electric light shades may be made
from them. If there are overhead chan
deliers hanging from the middle of the
ceiling dangIe the very smallest cab
bages head down. If possible, use yell
low linen place doiles. as they look we'll
with the Cabbages. Have tiny cabbage
bonbon holders at each plate made
from several shades of crepe paper and
have place cards cut out cabbage-shaped
tinted with watercolors and the names
written in gold.
For the menu there may be cream of
cabbage soup, fried oysters and cold slaw.
and salad made from unsweetened
lemon jelly in which shredded cabbage,
minced celery, pimentoes, and olives are
used with good stiff mayonnaise. Ice
cream may be served in pretty cabbage
boxes. If a prize is needed for any
game. Mrs. Wigs Of the Cabbage
Patch would be suitable.

MILLINERY HINT THAT
WILL PROVE USEFUL

When a separate loop of wire is in
serted in a hat bow it often has an
extremely annoying habit of asserting
its presence by poking out. A stitch is
not always advisable, as it may spoil
the appearance of the bow.
Here is quite a good dodge when deal
ing with piece silk. The loops are made
the required width from a strip cut on
the straight. The seIvage is on one side,
and the other is hemmed. Into the hem
round millinery wire is pushed be-
fore making up the loop, and it gives
the bow a smart. perky, outstanding
appearance, keeping it exactly in the
right place.
Bows wired in this way are most
valuable when motor wells are worm
as they come up smiling after the
crushing inevitably sustained. Though
you might not think it, the bow looks
smarterN if the side that is hemmed
(what one would naturally call the wrong
side), is used for the front. 1t looks
like a strapping slipped on, and the wire
acts as a kind of piping.

BROADCLOTH ALWAYS
IN HIGH FAVOR

Though fashions may come ana go.
though weaves vary and dress goods of
many and various kinds be adopted by
that whimsical parsonage, Dame Fashion.
broadcloth is always in favor. 1t is one
of the aristocrats of the dress goods
realm, and its place is always assured.
This year the tendency in broadcloths
is toward those with a very high luster-
the more brilliant and satiny the sheen,
the better madame will like her cloth.
Smart autumn suits are of broadcloth,
elaborately trimmed-frequently with
handsome silk braids, often with rich
and deep toned velvets.
But not alone for suits and tailored
costumes is broadcloth in demand. For
handsome wraps, street coats, evening
garments. and afternoon toilets broad
cloths will be fashionable.

(Best favored when secured in Octo-
ber.)
For every pound Of pulled figs allow
three-fourths pound sugar and one cup
full of water for each pound Of sugar;
boil ive minutes and skim. Drop in figs
them, being careful that they are not too
soft. Put in jars with few cloves, bits
Of cinnamon, and very little mace. Cover
well with sirup. Do not close jars for
three mornings Each day pour on sirup
without removing figs; reheat to boiling

morning measure sirup and allow one
cupful of vinegar to three cupfuls Of
sirup. Boil and pour over figs; seal while

Twins Just Alike.
1t was all right as long as I looked at

but just the minute I turned the babies
over and looked into their faces couldn't
for the life OF me remember which was
Rose and which was Catherine, and

The Warning.

Norton had ridden down to Belle Plain
ostensibly to view certain of those i'm
provements that went so far toward en-
blttering Tom Wares existence.
DO you think Belle Plain is ever
going to look as it did. Charley?-as we
remember it when we were children -
asked Betty.
why, of course, it is. dear, you are
doing wonders"
Ware stalked toward them. Having
dined with Betty as recently as the day
before, he contented himself with a nod
in her direction. His greeting to Nor
ton was a more ambitious undertaking.
Il understand you've a new overseer?''
Then you understand wrong-Carring-
tons my guest" said Norton. He's talk
ing of putting in crop for himself next
season, so he's willing to help me make
mine"
Going to turn farmer, is he?" asked
Ware.
so he says" Norton was extremely
disappointed when the planter manifest
ed disposition to play the host and re-
turned to the house with them. where his
presence was such a hardship that Nor
ton shortly took his leave.
Issuing from the lane he turned his
face in the direction of home. He was
within two miles of Thicket Point when,
passed a turn in the road, he found
himself confronted by three men. One
of them seized his horse by the bit. Nor
ton had not even a riding-whip.
Now, what do you wish to say to
me?" he asked.
I'VE want your word that you'll keep
away from Belle Plain
We'll, you won't get it"' responded
Norton.
In the same instant one of the men
raised his fist and struck the young
planter in the back OF the neck
You cur" cried Norton, as he wheel
ed on him.
Damn him-let him have itr'

Bruce Darlington came from the house.
How is Mr.. Norton?" she asked, ex-
tending her hand.
THE doctor says he'll be up and about
inside of a week. If you'll wait I'll tell
him you are here"
Darlington passed on into the house.
He entered the room where Norton lay.

"Betty?-bless her dear hearty cried
Charley weakly. Just toss my clothes
into the closet and draw up a chair.
There-thank you, Bruce-let her
come along in now" And as Darlington
quilted the room, Norton drew himself
up on the pillows and faced the door,
This is worth several beatings, Betty"'
he exclaimed as she appeared.
He bent to kiss the hand she gave
him, but groaned with the exertion. Then
he looked up into her face and saw her
eyes swimming with tears
"What-tears?" and he was much
moved.
TITS perfect outrage Betty paused
irresolutely. "Charley-"

II coIored cottons are washed in bran
or starch water instead of soapsuds

enough for a small tub of water.
A woman with a badly faded blue
shawl gave it a bath in cold water with
which a tablespoonful of vinegar had
been mixed, and the color returned per-

Lard and olive oil are the best reme-

Why, Tom, why shouldn't go there 90
1T might set people gossiping. I reck-
on there's been pretty near enough talk
about you and Charley Norton" The
planters tone was conciIiatory in the
extreme. He dared not risk break by
any open show of authority.

search of Darlington. He found him

Look here, BruceH' he cried. IT'S
settled; she's going to marry me. Can't
you wish me jOy?''
Darlington held out his hand.
You are not going to take any risks
now, you have too much to live for"
he said haltingly.
No, I'm to keep away from Belle

sists on that. Everything is to be kept

down to the terrace. There was the
sound of step on the path. Betty turn
ed. 1t was Darlington who stood before
her, his face haggard. Without word
he steppeds to her side and took her
hands rather roughly.
What am I to do without you?"-his
voice was almost a whisper. What is
this thing you have dOre?" Betty's heart
was beating with dull sickenlng throbs.
IF you had only come" she moaned.
NO" am gong 10 De To-

How can I give you up?" he said,

her from him almost roughly. and lean
ing against the trunk of a tree buried
his face in his hands. Betty watched
him for a moment in wretched silence.
It's good-by-" he muttered.
She went to him, and. as he bent
above her, slipped her arms about MS

He kissed her hair, her soft cheeK'
