Either Velvet Finished or Highly

Gloves this season are velvet finish
ed or highly glazed according to the
purposes for which they are intended.
A taste for white and yellow washing
gloves Of soft doeskin or Of silk or
composite materials has arisen, and
this is a fashion that will last well into
the winter. The careful woman finds
these washing ones thoroughly eco'

AS sleeves are still short gloves to
the elbow are shown In the shades of
brown and gray. For wear with coat
and skirt three large buttons are con-
rect. These tones have their value,
too, because they contrast with any
thing. Gauntlets were so much liked
last winter that once more some Of the
best gloves for everyday and morning
wear are finished in this way. After
noon and evening toilets will be COM
pleted with glace or fine suede gloves
in shades Of pearl gray and mastic as
well as white.

WHEN COOKING OYSTERS.

Suggestions az to How to Prepare
Tempting Dishes.
Oyster canapes are delicious. Try
them. Cut ten large oysters in pieces.
rejecting the hard muscle. Add to
them one tablespoonful each Of capers
and cucumber pickles, chopped. two
tablespoonfuls horseradish and sea-
soning to taste. Spread this over cold
toasted bread, cover with dressing
made of one-fourth cupful of mayor
naise and two tablespoonfuls Worces-
tershire sauce.
A new way to cook oysters is to
griddle them. Clean, scald and drain
two dozen large oysters. Have a
griddle evenly heated. Drop on 1t n
bit of butter as large as pea and
put an oyster on 1t. Lay on one dozen
in this way, giving them plenty of
room. Put on another bit of butter
and turn first oyster on that. Proceed
In this way for all. They must brown
quickly.
Oyster chowder Is good as well as
an inexpensive way to prepare oys-
tiers. 1t provides means Of serving
a large family with a dish Of oysters
at small expense. Take three slices
Of picked pork, two onions. three doz-
en- crackers (soaked, Ave dozen oys-
ters, one quart Of milk, and sea
son to taste; boil the pork, onions and
Ave sliced potatoes together until near
ly done. and put into the pot the oys-
ters, milk. crackers and seasoning,
then boil FIVE minutes and serve.
