the smartness of plush offers her the
very best possible solution of the
problem of the needed fur set-for
who can be properly dressed In win
ter without a muff and neckpiece?
And whether it is of a real fur or an
imitation fur matters little now, for so
far as dress materials go we are at
the age of makebelieve. So If you
are needing these cozy mufflings
which give SO charming a winter
stamp to the plainest suit, go and
look at the plush fabrics and cut the
accessories according to the set in the
Illustration.
Here a plain seal plush is used in a
shade of taupe called eclipse" one
of the wagner, more shadowy tones.
The scarf of the set is straight and
has bias ends, which last feature is
matched by a bias trim of the flap
of the pillow muff. The pillow style,
by the way, is still eminently smart
for muffs and nothing is easier to
make at home than such a muffling;
in fact, fabric muffs are rarely in any
other form.
The edge of the set is Of marabout
in the same shade of taupe, and de-
spite it's d~elicacy this feather trim
ming Is an admirable substitute for
fur and wears very well.
A set like this in similar fabrics,
or of broadtail plush, could be got up
for fifteen dollars, while a mole set,
which it very cleverly counterfeits,
would cost a hundred dollars or a hun
dred and fifty.

TO MEND KNIT UNDERWEAR
Crochet Needle, in Combination With
Embroidery Frame, viii Be
Found Most Effective.

A crochet needle is a good thing to
mend knit underwear with. To do this,
place the worn portion in an embroid-
cry frame; then, with thread to suit
the mesh of the garment, wool, silk or
cotton, pick up the ends of the stitch
es where they are broken off and unite
them, working back and forth until
the holes are filled in evenly and
smoothly. Perhaps the neck of the I'M
derwear has stretched in the washing
until it is all out of shape; in that
case run a drawstring around the
neck, wet it and draw it into place;
then when it is dry it will be the prop
er size. You may then crochet a neat
beading in place of the one which has
worm away; and if the buttonholes
have worn out, rip off the old facing
in the front and stitch on in it's place
a new strip Of sateen. Sew the old
holes together as closely as you can
to their original size and shape, then
catch them down to the sateen and
cut that to fit; then work the hole
as you would if it were a new one.

ton of q match, ant the face can be
marked upon it with the black end
of a burnt match.
Diagram A shows the hat, which
may be cut out in paper and fastened
on to the top of the head with a drop
of gum, and the peak afterwards bent
downwards. For the arms, two whole
matches are used, and they are Sc
cured to the body with tiny pins run
through the ends and into the cork.
Diagram B illustrates this, and
holes should be made for the pins
with a fine needle before they are
inserted, or the wood will split. The
feet and legs are composed of two
matches and two slices" cut from a
small cork.
When it is necessary to insert the
ends of the matches into the cork, it
will be found that they will go in
easily if they have been cut into
points, and to conclude with, the but

Open Air Schools Grow in Favor.

With the opening of the fall school
term over 200 open-air schools and
fresh-air classes for tuberculous, and
anaemic children, and also for all chill
dren in certain rooms and grades, will
be in operation in various parts Of the
United States, according to the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention Of tuberculosis. All of these
schools have been established since
January, 1907, when the first institu-
ton of this character was opened in
Providence, r. L. On January LIST,
1910, there were only 10 open-air
schools in this country and a year lat
er the number had increased only to
20. Thus, the real growth in this
movement has been within the last
two years. Massachusetts now leads
the states with Sc fresh-air schools
and classes for ~tuberculous, anaemic
and other school children, Boston
alone having over 80. New York comes
next with 20, and Ohio is third with 21.
Open-air schools have now been estab-
lished in nearly so cities in 10 differ

SAPPHIRE A POPULAR STONE
Have at Least One Excellent Reason
for the Marked Favor They Are
at Present Enjoying.

Sapphires r coming into favor
again, the reason attributed to the
revival being that the stone of azure
hue is the only gem which cannot be
initiated successfully and made to
suffer from undue popularity. While
imitation pearls, rubies and diamonds
can be manufactured to look exactly
like the real thing, sapphires stand
alone as the inimitable gem.
According to a well known jewel
er, sapphires have not been really
fashionable for years, although they
are becoming to women of almost any
colored hair.
Sapphires bring out all the shades
of color in blue-eyed women, and they
can be worn with equally pleasing re-
suits by women with eyes in that in
definite shade of gray which changes
to blue in certain lights. A drawback,
however, Is the fact that sapphires
cannot be worn with certain cclors
IN dress.

juniper and where an armful of green
birch filled the fireplace ready to
burst into a pungent fame when a
match was set to it.
In Norway these houses are made
of heavy pine logs. The bark is care
fully taken off and then the logs are
hewed square and of the same size
from one end to another. 1t takes
some experience to notch them at the
ends so that they fit exactly. The
logs are usually either stained or
oiled and their rich yellowish or
brownish color is in harmony with al
most any surroundings.
The old-fashioned Norway log cabin
had a sod roof. 1t is hard to express
the poetry those words should con-
vey except to those who have seen
the sod rooted cabin. q have come
across roofs that were a riot of wild
pansies," says a writer in the Crafts
man, land l have seen wonderful
roofs where wild rose bushes hung
over the caves or a daisy roof the
effect of whose white, starlike flow
ers topping the dark brown structure
was exquisitely picturesque.
Some roofs produce only pasture
grass, and the story runs in Norwe-
gian folk lore that a lazy man led the
COW on the roof-the cabin was built
against a hill-instead of taking her
to pasture. I have no doubt that the
story is true, for l have often seen a
couple of white kidlets gamboling on
the soft green housetops, while the
mother goat, grave and ruminative,
was tethered to the chimney"

NORWAY LOG CABINS
Picturesque Abodes Are Being
Done Away With.
Modern Clapboard Buildings Taking
Their Place-Typical Examples
of Old Style Buildings Are
to Be Preserved.

Christiania, Norway.-No n knows
when the first log cabin was built in
Norway, but it must hay been about
1900 years at least. At first they
were windowless, chimneyless things,
then they gradually became light and
airy, acquired chimneys and floors
and developed into one and one-half
and then into two story houses, be-
coming the homelike abodes of en-
lightened people. Their development
and transformation are easy to under
stand, thanks to the efforts of DR..
Sandvig of Lillehammer, Norway.
Born in the country, he had from
his boyhood a passion for the old
homes of peasants, and ven as a
child it panied him to see them set
aside or tori down to make way for
the nondescript buildings of clap
boards which appeared in their stead.
1t became his ambition to collect be-
fore it was too late the most typical
examples of the different log cabins.
In these old houses is wonderful
furniture belonging to the period rep
resented and always arranged accord
ing to ancient traditions. For in
stance, there are examples of old Nor
wegian beds, which are appalling con-
trivances. Rarely are they more than
four or five feet long and often almost
as wide. 1t seems that in the four
teenth, fifteenth and even sixteenth
centuries people in Norway did not lie
down in their beds-they sat in them.
A person was propped up, so to
speak, by four or five feather beds
and as many more pillows under his
head.
Those who have travelled in Nor

beaten track and have walked across
barren mountain tops or through pun

side.
