Thousands Of women have already begun plans

inner man. Thanksgiving day.
What is he going to eat for his Thanksgiving din
ner? Turkey, of course, and mince pie but what
else and how is it to be served?

tlon The Times will give the biggest, latest Yak

Cheese Sandwiches.

Rye bread seems to call for a
cheese as a filler, and If one will
crate the cheese instead of slicing
1t, 1t will be found to work very
much better. Cottage cheese with
choppSs parsley, water cress,
chopped sweet pepper or tiny
bit of chopped onion makes de-
licious rye bread sandwiches.
Both Swiss and American
cheese with a little mustard are
also fine as filters for rye bread
sandwiches.
A sweet sandwich made with
rye bread Is delicious with a fill
ling of raisins and marshmallows.
Don't forget that these sandwich
es must be made with the same
care as the white ones. Bread
must be forty-eight hours old, cut
thin, and spread delicately with
butter and all crusts removed.
Dreamed cheese and currant
jelly mixed makes a nice filling,
particularly If put between sailed
waters.

1t is an unwritten law that the
president of the United States
may not talk for publication, and
the newspaper woman who gets
to her does SO only under strict
promise that she will not quote
her in the first person.
Mrs. Taft shows the wear and
tear of the last few years to a
greater degree than the presi-
dent. She never had a famous
smile,' however, so the tired lines
which have made their appear
ance about her mouth may not be
noticed by the casual acquaint-
ance. But 1t is an open secret
among her friends that the social
strain of the white house regime
has been too much for Mrs.
Taft's physical strength.
Mrs. Taft's soft white skin
which was her greatest beauty and
which gave her singularly
youthful appearance when she en-
tered the White House four years
ago has lost its translucent quail
ity and there is a faint net work
OF wrinkles about the gray-blue
eyes which seem to have grown
too weary to express the alert
ness of comprehension which was
their greatest charm four years
ago.
The wife of President Taft is O

ing. And the girl who is fond of
any outdoor pastime, whether II
be riding in the crisp wind or
skating on the ice, will be glad to
add one of these good-looking
caps to her collection of outdoor
apparel.
The illustration Is made of a
soft wool mixture and lined with
silk. 1t fits snugly and is brought
around, hood-fashion, to fasten
beneath the chin. A drapery and
tassel over the head suggests the
old stocking cap, which is insep-
arably associated with the be-
mittened small boy and his lively
skates.
The cap fad sounds expensive.
1t need not be, for each one of
these three widely differing addi-
tions to the wardrobe may be
made by the wearer out of odds
and ends.

SHE HAS REFUSED ME

Dear Miss Grey: 1 am a
young man of twenty-five,
have a fair education and
means of supporting a wife.
1 have been keeping COM
pany with a young lady for
over a year. L love her,
and think she Is the only one
to make my life perfect. But
she has refused me and has
forbidden me TO speak to her
of marriage again, and 1 am
sure her answer is final.
There are plenty of nice
boys here who would be glad
of the chance to go with her,
as she is a favorite among
the young people; but as I
have been calling ON her quite
regularly they do not call.
Please tell me shall 1 stop
calling and give the other
fellows a chance? She says
1 can come or stay away
just as l please.

what sort of a social function OF
outdoor event SHE proposes to
take part in. A CAP of some de-
scription will be appropriate.
This very becoming mode is ex-
cellently illustrated in the three
pretty head coverings pictured.
They are the THEATER cap, the
DANCING cap and the SKATING
cap, which is modified to suit the
elements into a hood-cap.
The fashionable Bedoiun cap
for theater wear Is designed to
slip on over an elaborate couture
in carriage or taxi. 1t is a model
by earlier, designer of SO many
graceful hood effects for evening
wear. It is made of rose pink
velvet, a small strip of fur and
pink silk roses combined with
shadow lace, finished with a mar
row edging.
/ The deep fall of lace at the
back, weighted with silver tes-
sells, suggests the Bedouin head
dress and is both graceful and
novel.
The French dressmakers are
responsible for the pretty fashion
of the dancing cap. They are
popularizing the idea by sending
home dainty little creations fash

great stickler for etiquette and
she believes that her social duties
at Washington should be dis
charged with regard to her high
station instead of regard to her
own prejudices.
The presidents wife likes elab-
crate functions and Is a devotee
of bridge whist. If Mrs. Wilson
became the next mistress at the
White House, many women who
have so much enjoyed Mrs. Taft's
bridge parties-which were per-
haps the most informal of all
given during the last few years
will miss her very much.
Mrs. Taft Is not generally
given credit for her wit, among
her other accomplishments, but
at a dinner in Washington just
before the family left for Beverly,
she carried off the honors to the
amusement of all the guests pres
ent. A noted French traveller was
SO absorbed in Boosting about the
politeness of his countrymen that
he failed to catch the bored ex-
