N OF the oldest arts, that Of the
o. silhouette, and II Is meeting
with kindly reception. The
fad is claimed. Ike many other fads. by
the French who were the first to take
up the Idea Of reproducing licensees
in that manner. The origin Of the
silhouette art dates back to tho days
when Louis XIV. was ransacking his
brain to find plans for sustaining his
Unsuitable appetite for pocket money

black and white gained Its chief
prominence.
But the ancients, according to his
torians. knew something OF the sii-
hOuctte, and some excellent speci-
mems are preserved upon ktruscan
pottery and Egyptian mummy cases.
The modern fad for the silhouette
has been taken up by society, and
it Is expected to gain quito foot
hold during tho coming winter. The
art has been revived, not by trained
artists, as one would suppose, but by
those especially skilled along certain
lines.
With a little practice. any woman
may become expert in using pair
Of scissors in such Il manner that she
obtains good profile likeness. When
doing the work use black paper. The
operator should fix her eyes closely
upon tho sitter, and clip away at
the black paper the latter being
turned upsidedown and sdewise as
the work IS accomplished.
BY clever arrangement OF folding
the paper two cuttings are made al
one time, and the result appears as
two portraits facing in opposite di-
rections. Then the black portraits
nrc pasted on a pure white back
ground giving an excellent effect.

~ ORERUNNERS OF Thanksgiv-
@tI ing festivities are with us. The
" frost Is on the pumpkin vine,"
and already prudent house
Keepers are preparing for the great
day. In the country and small towns
thanksgiving is looked forward to as
a celebration Just about in the same
manner as the days are counted be-
fore Christmas. and It is there prin-
cipally that preparations are being
made for the great day Of feasting.
In preparation for the annual dim
ner there is much to he thought of
every good wife will agree. There Is
tho cooking and baking. the arrange
ment for seating the guests and max
ing ready spare rooms SO that tho
busy woman can think of scarcely
anything other than the feast and the
various things which go with It.
Thanksgiving time is pumpkin pie
time, and no dinner for that day is
really complete without the great, eel
low dessert as n climax. Here Is an
excellent recipe for a real Thanksgiv-
ing pie. Take one cup OF cream, one
cup of sugar, the yokes of four eggs
well beaten with the suear-two
cupsful of well-cooked pumpkin,
squeezed dry and rubbed through Il
sieve; one teaspoonful each Of salt,
cinnamon and mace. Line a deep pie
dish with rich crust and I'll with the
pumpkin mixture we'll beaten and
naked together. Bake it until Il is
firm In the center.
When done and cool, beat the
whites Of the four eggs to a stiff white
froth, add a cup Of powdered sugar
and beat together. Heap this over
the top. return the pie to the oven and
allow It to brown lightly. This sort
of pie is claimed TO have originated
in Missouri, and It Is said to be one of
the best that can be made from
pumpkin
There IS also a way of making 4
pumpkin pie without the use Of eggs.
The pie should be made from fine
grained pumpkin. The use Of good,
rich cream makes eggs unnecessary.
To make thre" pies use a pint Of
stewed pumpkin after It has been
cooked squeezed perfectly dry and
run through a sieve. Add three

Uhen 6u9ino Silks

T FTER buying a piece OF silk, do
FS not lay IT away to be made up
at some future time. 1t will
dry out and the eye will cause 1t to
rot. In sch a case tho silk will go
TO pieces in no time after II Is made
up. In making up thin, light
weight silk, always use a lining. This
will take the strain off the sill and
also prevent 1t from becoming stain
ed and weakened 10y perspiration.
Always consider the weave and Its
quality before making up piece Of
SILK. An inexpensive silk should not
be made too tight nor should It be
made up for dress that is to be
worn regularly. Grenadines, mar
quisettos and such fabrics should be
stayed at the seams where the strain
comes This will prevent them from

temporarily solve the problem. the
county council at It's special session on

member OF the council probably will
be called before the grand jury at eth.

refused to appropriate money for car

who had hoped to see the council; ap-

the council take the action it did.

men Friday evening and brought in
an automobile to the county Jail,
where he was placed in the padded
cell, but from which he had TO be re-
moved, as he quickly reduced the
leather pads to shreds.
While the affection is thought to be
only temporary. the attending physi.
sian believes that his mind will again
be normal as soon AS he RECEIVERS his
health. He will probably be placed in
the Eastern Indiana hospital for treat
ment. The lunacy commission was
summoned to meet on Saturday, but
inasmuch as no charge of insanity
had been filed as yet. the physicians
were powerless to make an examina
ton.
The young man was working on a
railroad near Hammond until about d
month ago when he was taken IL
with a severe attack of grip. He came
to his parents home and spent few
days, and although feeling better. he
was not entirely we'll when he return
ed to his work. He again had to give
up his position and come to his par
ents' home. Last Monday the first
symptoms of insanity were noticed
