IN PRAISE OF ..PuNK1N" PIE.


 Several days ago a story appeared to the effect that the American people are no longer eating pie. This state ment is an ,exa ggeration, doubtless based on the reports of pie factories and professional pie bakers. It would be irTeparab1e loss to the palate, the we'll being and catholicism of the country if the experts of the home should cease to produce that noble na- tfonal dish-the great American des- sert.
 The season is here again when that king of all pastries, the pumpkin pie, is in the height of it's glory. The gold en spheres are ready for the minting- Between the rust1ing tepees of the corn they lie in heaps and the frost has kissed them lightly with a final mellow caress. That same frost has driven the artist of the kitchen from the greener, callower articles of diet; i; now she gets down to business and contennplates her masterpiece.

Not the, meretricious substitute palm ed off on one by the chefs of hotels more than half squash and degraded and disguised with spices until it's proper character is submerged.

BURNING. THE TOWN.

He was a wealthy youth, blessed with plenty Of money, and great number of people were ready to take it. away from him. He lived in San Francisco, which city, according to re- liable report, is as full of speed and action after dark as Ty Cobb is when he steals home with the winning run
 One night the young man, full of check books and ideas, hired g. string of 40 cabs and hacks, and, forming them in single file, led the procession down Market street, the principal thOToughfare of San Francisco. His walk was slow, grand and impressive, and the vehicles followed him at a lsnaiPss pee It. looked like the funer- 1 of a pet dog or a MohanRedan. =

COUSIN PHEBE-
TOUGH OF SILVER

Touches of silver appear on some of the daintiest of house gowns brought out for late, autumn. So slight are these touches, however, that in many instances they fail to impress them selves definitely at first glance and the casual observer merely wonders what it is that makes the gown ap- pear different from all other gowns. This is because the fine line of silver glints faintly on the sleeves, the bodice front and the side Of the skirt where lacings of silk cordage are run through eyelets embroidered with sil- yer. Sometimes these eyelets are lack ing and the silver glints are furnished by the fine rows of a-jours bordering the widely. turned-over shoulder collar. the turned-back cuffs, the overlapping edge of a skirt or the ends of girdle and occasionally a round-necked yoke of chiffon or maline will display rows upon rows of fine heznstitehing, all done with silver threads.
