two eggs beaten well. with enough
milk 10 moisten it all. One and a half

League Formed to
Eliminate Pillows

WOMEN nowadays are organizing
themselves into all kinds of So
cieties for the prevention of evils. and
the very latest one OF these is the
League For the Elimination of Pillows.
pillows stand for leisure. relaxation.
laZiness. parasitism and a number of
things that are back OF women in the
degenerate state Of clingcrs.' said the
originator of the league recently.
The day of the Ginger is past and
gone. and there is a call for women to
be up and doing Just as our grand
mothers and our t-grandmothers
were. only that we are not called upon
TO do the same kind Of things
I'VE women have the ballot in spirit
where we do not actually vote H. 9TH
er words. we are beginning TO feel the
responsibility for others. For example,
no woman has any moral right TO pay
her servants any more than the regu-
| lation wages-or so we think The
wages of servants have risen nteadily
| on account OF the pillow ridden hsmcs,
where women settle back and pay any
/ price to obtain more comfort among
the pillows. This is one Of the things
| pillows are responsible for and one OF
the things the anti-pillow league was
| formed to combat Those of us who
have been addicted to pillows are wax
ing up.
THE pillow woman usually has a
telephone at her side and. too lazy to
go to market. orders her household
provisions over the phone. The result
is there is no longer any competition
Grocers and butchers charge any price
knowing full well that it Is comfort
their customers prize most highly OF
all. Give the family satisfactory food
no matter what it COSTS says the gro
Ger The high cost Of living is the ex-
cuse for everything nowadays. The
women are lost In the pillows. which
are the symbol Of feminine relaxation
/ The man OF the family. poor. hard.
working beast. hasn't yet awakened tc
the fact that the woman at home as.
sumes no RESPONSE bility and is no
even moral support 20 him.
SO what the league wants women Il
do is TO throw out the pillows. or a
least prevent any more from cominG
in. 1t wants every woman TO 20 Il
market. and If housewives in towns anc
cities would cooperate they could con.
troll the market The FIRST thing TO bt
done is to eliminate pillows That viii
help some.
You see. when the horns industrle:

TRICKS OF TRADEsMEN

HERE are some ways that your
butcher or grocer may cheat you II
he so desires;
A merchant may sometimes place his
finger tips. in seeming carelessness, on
the scales when Weighing goods, and
the scale Is pressed down firmly
enough to make q slight difference in
the weight but this slight difference
Is not at all slight when a months
grocery bills are taken into considera-
ton
Another trick OF the trade II to get
the customer into conversation Her
attention is drawn from the scales. and
before she realizes 1t her goods are
lifted from the scales and are being
wrapped up. As he wraps them the
dealer announces the price and the
weight, adding an ounce or more to the
actual weight and extra pennies to the
price. The customer hesitates TO ask
10 have the stun weighed over again
as she did not look at the scales her
self. The only thing for her TO DO is &C
weigh Il when she gets II home on heI
own scales and then notify the dealer
politely thai there has been a mistake

Chinchilla squirrel. which is the pelt
OF the ground squirrel dyed in a lovely
shade OF gray. has taken the place Of
Australian opossum. which was much
fancied last season. Black, white. red
and cross fox are strong features in
the medium priced skins. and blue fox
is. as ever, fur prohibitive to all save
to those with well flled purses.
The smart fur novelty of the season
is leopard skin. It is used not only
for entire coats, with wide bands Of
reverse fur for trimming collar and
cuffs and at the bottom. but for long
stoles- and NUTS. The pelt also figures
as a striking trimming on cloth suits.
A stunning sealskin three-quarter cut
away coat seen recently had a wide
rolled collar and cuffs OF leopard skin.
Three big buttons OF the same pelt
finished this wonderfully effective gar
ment.
In the class with moderate priced
furs civet cat should be mentioned.

This Is a black pelt which is notified
with white. 1t is a serviceable fur
and one that is much more expensive
looking than one would imagine until
one has inquired into the cost. The

There is not much change in the
shape OF neckpieces. except the scarf
or stole which is very modish this win
ter. The correct width is fifteen inches
and from two and a half to three yards
long, according to the height of the
wearer. These stoles are made up in
all the short haired furs. Moleskin
and sealskin models are considered ex-
tremely modish. Still. mighty good
looking scarfs are to be seen fashioned

A FINE way to dispose OF the
"a Christmas present check by
"a the woman in need Of furs Is
u n to invest II in peltry at the
beginning OF the new year. The ad-
vantages OF late In the season buy
ing are many. In the first place. fur
fashions are assured by this time. and
there is a great reduction in prices.
And still another reason for purchas-
ing is that in climates where furs are
q necessity the season for their useful
ness il Just beginning. Jas the hardest
part OF the winter Is sun in prospect.
Long haired furs such as fox and

Painting is not the only art IN
which masterpieces have been pro-
duced by mere boys. Although 1t was
not published until year later, it is
probable that Keats wrote his famous
Ode to Autumn in his sixteenth year,
and, indeed, all his five great odes,
among the greatest in any language,
before he attained legal manhood.
He died at twenty-five, so that all the
masterpieces which came from his
pen may be regarded as the produc-
ton of a boy.
