THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

Just about every day OF my life l am
newly impressed with the vast possibili-
ties in the science of motion study for
the household. I think explained to you
before that the science of motion study
is the science of arranging ones sur
roundings and training ones self SO as to
do all routine work with the fewest and
least firing motions possible.
Applied to business establishments. this
science has saved thousands of dollars of
money. Applied to homes, l know 1t
would save thousands of hours of labor.
VIII you permit me to enter on little
personal history and tell you some of the
ways In which i have found motions
being wasted In my own household, In
order to make my idea palmer?
When was boiling eggs the other day
/ noticed that 1 had to take several
steps to see the kitchen clock. Three
times during the process of boiling those
esgs-once to see what time it was when
l put them In, and twice to see If they
were done-I took those steps Abso-
lutely wasted energy, wasn't 1t? Ano
probably wasted many times day IN
that kitchen.
i reached for my dictionary to look up
a word one day and 1t suddenly occurred
to me that 1 was demonstrating motion
leak. My dictionary is my largest book,
and for the sake Of appearances has been
placed at the further end of my book
rack, and l have to reach over several
books to get 1t. And yet it is the volume
/ use the most frequently. Needless to
say, appearances were thrown to the
winds and the dictionary put IN Its proper
place.
Again, there is a large chair at the
foot Of my bed. Every time / walk
around my bed In the process of making

but how many thousand steps In weak,
or q year, or lifetime?
Just one more example. The coal shovel
with which we put on the furnace coal
has always stood. neither close by the
furnace nor close by the coal bin, but
against a chimney several feet away
from either. That means that both be-
fore and after we put on coal we walked
several needless steps to get the shower
and replace 1t. Why does 1t stand there
Nobody knows. Simply for the reason

madam, I wouldn't be too sure that no
others do.
the ARRANGEMENT Of the garments in your
wardrobe, Of the china in your china
closet, In your kitchen, and, indeed. all
over your house. there are thousand
chances for motion leaks.
Even some of the most systematic bust
ness establishments have found that there
were many leaks In their systems. Per-
haps you are the rara avis who is the
exception to this universal rule. But
before you decide that, don't you think
II would be worth while to look about
you and see II you can't find a few

The Newest Wraps.

Materials too striking and too ornate
for the daytime are all utilized in every
conceivable way for the seasons even
ing wrap, and the heavy metallic laces
in furnished tones provide the embellish-
ment.
BrOcades. in velvet, in satin. in gauZe
and in tissues. rich In coloring and de-
sign. are first favorites in fabrics for
the evening wrap. made up alone or with
plain velvet and costly fur.
In the more elaborate designs white
brocade shot with gold or silver and
richly embossed In velvet is made up
with metallic cloth and trimmed with
sable or ermine. The wrap is lightly
draped to the figure with pelerine OF
the pe.try old lace softening the line be-
tween collar and neck.
Some Of the most charming coats are
low on the left side, and the big collars
cut round. falling to the waist at the
back. These coats take the place of the
long wraps In satin Of last winter
cellent for hard wear. and when trimmed
with touch OF fur they are very at
tractive.
Velvet is becoming to most women, and.
OF course there are beautiful colors In
it that are dark enough not to soil
readily, yet they seem less somber in hue
in velvet than In any other material
Velvet for coats In Paris is being COM
bined with satin. as are velvets with bro
cades. and velvet with chiffon. Plush
one Of the most recent REVEALS in ma
terials, enters largely into the makeup
Of some Of the smartest coats OF the
season.
From Paris comes a coat in the latter
material in Q lovely shade Of rich ivory
shot with gold. The coat. made with a
semi-iittinG back. has q square collar
% heavy gold lace, the lining being OF
rich gold brocade.

VARIATIONS Of
THE OVERSIGHT

One Of the most attractive forms taken
by the inevitable tunic, and one which
lends itself admirably to slim, girlish
figure, is the apron shaped effect. A frock
carried out in the palest rose charmeuse
has the bodice draped with fine chantilly
lace, which falls down at the front and
back, forming an apron-shaped tunic bor-
dered with lace.
Three bands Of pale rose satin trim the
kimono sleeves and front of the bodice,
showing an interveiling Of lace. A band
of soft black velvet ribbon, tied in tiny
knot at one side, encircles the waist,
while another is worn round the hips.
Just below the edge of the apron are
three very fiat, broad tucks which take
off from the plainness of the skirt and
complete a delightful and dainty gown
for the young girl
Satin shoes and plain silk stockings in
exactly the same shade of rose should
be worn with it, or. as an alternative,
very smart black ones.
Given a well cut underskirt or two in
soft satin, it would be quite possible TO
arrange this little apron tunic go that it
might be worn alternately over a different
shade of frock by doing away with the
satin bands on the sleeve. A tunic should
always be made with an eye to its pos
sible variation with other slips.

Attractive BIouses.

How replete with attraction the filmy
blouse is! Surely nothing can wrest it
from us for long while, and for obvious
reasons it must remain to some extent
exclusive. A large share Of the cost
goes to the making, since it is impossible
to rush this through by the aid of sew
ing machine.
The necessarily handmade blouse is
proving fruitful source OF income to
certain private sewers. who are prolific
with a supply of the loveliest CONNECTIONS,
many massed with minute tucks and en-
HANGED with fine lace. A new blouse is
composed of three thicknesses Of chiffon,
the inner fold falling clear on the neck,
the next doubled and the third trebled.
With a model so amendable to adapta-
ton one is rather lOath to state only one
definite scheme of color. Thus ivory lace
and chiffon could be allied, or flesh pink
chiffon substituted for the ivory. Or
black chiffon would be immensely effect
i've with a quiet, deep toned lace, while
in all black it would be extraordinarily
chic The finish afforded by fur Is es-
sentially attrac i've, but it is an adjunct
in no sort material to the design.

Spectators Manage

NEW YORK. Oct. 9.-Speculators with
tickets TO sell at exorbitant prices were
active outside the Polo Grounds yester-

closely and the speculators had to work
craftily to dispose of their wares.

Boston has waited for eight long years

the most interesting contests In the
history OF the game.
Wood pitched a great article OF ball
at all times. but his best work was
done in the pinches. The Giants had
evidently discovered that Woods
curve was not a very fast ball and
that he was in the habit of breaking
1t across the plate. for they allowed
his fast one to pass and waited for
the hook" but Joe tied them all up
by using his speed.
The Giants were reputed as being
fast ball hitters and 1t was expected
they would chop at his straight one,
but, instead, they all went up and

hands of the Red sox, for It Is almost
an impossibility to connect with as

safe. but 1t would have been very
