For the Hostess.

Asters are now in their prime and are
a most decorative flower for table use.
An aster luncheon given last year was so
pretty that a description will be very
welcome to our readers.
AS aster means star, the centerpiece
was a star-shaped form made of tin: 1t
was filled with delicate pink and laven-
der asters. Ribbons Of ptnkish lavender
radiated to each place, where they were
attached to star-shaped cards cut from
lavender cardboard and the names were
written in white ink. There was cor
sage bouquet at each plate with a long
violet-headed pin.

SO as the day was hot no artificial light
was used, not even candles. There was
no attempt made to carry out the color
scheme in the food, EXCEPT candied vio-
lets were sprinkled over the top of the
pineapple ice, which was served in tall
glasses with pink lace paper dollies un-
dcrneath: the plates were decorated in
violets and the effect was lovely.
For diversion the hostess provided easy
chairs hammocks and cushions. box Of
delicious candy. a bowl of iced tea made
strong with lemon and pineapple juice
and then she proceeded to read aloud q
most fascinating story.
It was time to depart all too soon, and

Hard soaps can be bought so cheaply
nowadays that there is practically no
economy in making them at home, since
the materials must be bought.
When something that would otherwise
be thrown away can be utilized, and il
the result will justify the time spent then
this Is true economy.

Mixed Fabrics.

The black and white mixed fabrics are
popular for separate top coats for sport
ing wear. and are. perhaps, as practical
for general separate coat wear as any
thing one could choose. But there is
nothing dressy about them. They are
made loose, without being baggy, and are
severely tailored.
Coats of white. in soft. rough material,
are numerous among the autumn wraps
for sporting wear though it must be ad-
mitted that they are not very serVlceable
for town use.
These loose, comfortable. three-quarter-
length coats are very chic to don during
intervals of tennis play at the country
clubs, etc.
Long, loose. draped coats Of silk and
velour are provided for dressy wear over
afternoon or evening toilets.
A coat of taupe velour de laine was
lined with coral satin. Another coat of
light brown cashmere was lined with
satin in the same tone.

are delightful They are not conspicuous
or garish. vet they have a note of warmth
and brightness that is admirably adapt
ed to cool weather.
One of the uest looking coats in the
collection referred to was of red ana
black mixed tweed-soft. rough. warm
wonderfully light and vaguely showing
diagonal weave. There was a large turn
down Robespierre collar of black plush.
The right lapel was shaped at the outer
edge in three large scalloped tabs. which
reached to the waist line. When the gar
ment was closed the front crossed over
and fastened with three large black bui-
tons. Below the waist line the edges OF
the coat were straight and gradually
sloped away from the front of the gar
ment from waist to hem. The edges OF
the coat were piped with back.
In Red and Black.
Another model in red and black was Of
zibeline. with collar of the high-stand-
ing type. which could be buttoned close
about the throat or fall back over the
coat in revers. The collar and revers
were lined with black and red changeable
velvet. The sleeves We're three-quarter
length with the low shoulder and deep
cuffs ornamented with black and red but
tons There were large pockets buttoned
to the side of the coat.
In the same group was a remarkably
good-looking model in black and white
Scotch wooden combined with plain blue
WOODEN. The garment was edged with
the plain blue material. while the body
of the coat was of black striped ma
terial The coat was fastened at the left
side front with large white buttons.
Another red model, but quite different
in material from those already described,
was a likable coat in ratne in deep
rich dahlia red. This was an admirable
model, with its black velvet collar and
cuffs and big buttons of the material
narrowly trimmed in black velvet.
The same importer showed a stunning
coat of gray ratine which buttoned up
the left side with big gray buttons and
had a high standing crush collar fastened

ILLITERAcY AND STATISTICS.

The queer little man in Dickens who had as burden of his re- Train through life, "Figures can't lle," found in the end that they could at least be misleading and he had never dclved into census reports either! From the census reports one set of StatiSticianS gather that the percentage of children of school agc in our schools today is less than it was ten years ago and draws a hor- rIblc fear of increasing illiteracy. Another set declares that tn. av- craze of attendance is far great rr-that the seeming loss is occa- stoned by the fact that previous statistics were inaccurate and that the present lists are very complete and cites the fact that compulsory education has been s" extended that tn" proportion of children in schools must be greater.
 Perhaps it.
