! ATE summer is not always the sea-
 son in which we look for new de- signs in the world of fashion. but there as in many others, and almost every month of the year has come to mean some novelty. These gowns show in teresting features and will be found satisfactory for the fall season.
 The pannier skirt is one of the pret- tiest of that kind and unquestionably will be much worn. The foundation is circular, with a panel back that can be made either in walking length or with a train, and the panniers are ar ranged over it. The blouse is a very attractive one, with a daintily shirred upper portion that is particularly well adapted to thin materials. The gown Is made of radium silk over a founda- tion of satin and with a shirred blouse of chiffon, but 1t can be utilized for materials of many different sorts. Powered and brocaded silks will be exceedingly fashionable throughout the autumn. and they are well adapted to such use. but there are also plain fabrics of two weaves or colors that can be combined successfully. The girdle can be arranged at either the high or the natural waist line. The blouse Is made over a lining, and the trimming portions are separate and applied over it; consequently these can be omitted if a plainer blouse is wanted. The neck can be made square or high The sleeves can be finished with frills or cut a little longer and

THE EVER POPULAR TOPCOAT

huge oblong pockets in front, are smart enough for any woman to wear without feeling that she looks out of style, and the demand for these has increased along with the demand for tOpcoats made of cloth.
 The only trouble about these admi- rable garments is that they change in fashion almost as quickly as our gowns. As long as they were not in the limelight of popularity they re- mained pretty much the same, but the minute they became part of the fash ionable regalia of the day the design CTS Seeemed to think 1t necessary to be capricious about their cut and color
 Regard this season, for instance. The coats have grown at least eight inches shorter, and the really smart ones do not reach the knees. They are single breasted instead of double breasted; the armhole has given place to the raglan shoulder. in which the sleeve runs in a wide gusset to the neckband; the sleeve at the wrist is neld in to fit the arm by broad strap. and there are pockets galore.

THE FASHIONAB

RAID Is going to be one of the
 very fashionable trimmings for fall and winter suits. And
 the new braid is wide, very wide, wavy for the most part in de- sign and altogether aggressive look ing, a sort of sartorial American spread eagleism in the trimming world that boasts of being the greatest and most attractive braid adornment ever invented. In fact, this modistic jim goism, alias braid, is mighty apt if not used with caution, to bring oppro- brium upon the gown it means to adorn. On the other hand when used with discretion it Is a delightful trim ming.
 Good quality braid, as every woman knows, is an expensive trimming, but the variety to be used the coming fall Is made from a wood fiber, which re- duces the cost to the buyer to a very appreciable degree. The manufactur- CTS are also making from this fiber silk" of such beautiful quality and wearing ability that the dressmakers are quite enthusiastic because the low CT cost of the material in no way af- fectS the appearance Of the fabric. One of the gowns seen in the panel cuts is charming illustration of the new braid as applied to 8 smart tailor ed suit. The creation is French and was worn recently at Longchamps, the fashionable race course outside of Par is, where all that are best in equine and feminine style meet Sunday after moons during the season. All Paris and half of smart America are to be observed at Longchamps.
 The skirt of this gown varies little from those we have been accustomed l to wearing for the past few years, save for the added width of jupe and its | braid trimming of the modish new va riety.
 The coat of this suit strikes a new note in the basque set on above a raised waist line that Is very new for | the coming season. The sleeves on this | model are set into long shoulder arm ] holes. while small braid covered but tons fasten the basque portion of the | coat. Revers of fancy fraid make the shawl shaped collar.
 This suit is stunning and Is carried | out in tan broadcloth trimmed with

0F all the little ills that flesh is heir
 to. nothing gives more annoyance and pain than particle of dust or grit in the eye. Even a stray eyelash will cause discomfort and affect the eye for hours afterward- Now, where such thing as a loose eyelash is concerned, it is usually an easy matter to dislodge the offending atom with spill made from a twisted paper or the corner or a handkerchief, while the lower lid is held down by the left hand. If no mirror be handy you must rely on help. of course.
 Another plan is to draw the upper lid right down over the lower and to open the eye quickly. As a rule. the irritating atom finds dislodgment in side the upper lid, and by doing as sug- gested the unruly something will be speedily removed. If, however, you should happen to be passing a stone breaker at work and suspect a tiny piece of flint to have lodged in the eye, on no account delay having it removed Consult an eye specialist is the best advice, but failing this put few drops of salad oil in the eye. It will make the doctors work easier when he gets to it.
 But perhaps the worst thing that can happen in this particular way is for a grain or two of lime to enter the eye. Prompt measures are then imperative. Notwithstanding these. the sight may be seriously damaged
 Mix one part of vinegar with three parts of water, and if you do not pos sess an eyeglass wash the eyeball well with this by dropping from an ordinary medicine bottle.
 Vinegar robs lime of It's burning properties. Twelve or fifteen minutes is by no means too long to continue this treatment For the fifteen min utes following use warm water, in the same way as you did the diluted vine gar, finally dropping a little sweet oil into the cavity.

TSE method to your mending and it ceases to become a bugbear. The girl or woman who makes practice of devoting an hour or so every week to alarming stockings, replacing buttons on underwear and renovations general ly will never possess the basket filled to overf1owing which daunts the heart of the stoutest mender.
 A stitch in time saves nine. If a stocking is changed at the first glimpse of a hole and mended before washing 8 very few darning stitches will put things to rights.
 It is surely useless to insis. that no knot be used when darning, but it might be advisable to point out to those welded to the use of alarming ball that its aid Is almost always dis astrous.
 When buttons have been rudely torn from a garment, bearing with them a strip of the material 1t is a good plan to stitch neatly a piece of wide tape down on both sides as a backing be- fore replacing the buttons.
 When a patch is absolutely necessary first cut the hole into some symmetri- cal shape and place underneath 1t a piece of the material to match. If it can be managed never use new ma terial on an old article. The patch must be nearly an inch wider than the hole. Baste into place and hem around very neatly.

fluffy, festive air to this very original set. The neck ruche is of plaited silk. and the hat is happy combination of silk and braid.
 To come back to coat styles for a lew minutes. some of the new models nave pockets, but the relief given by these is but trifiing, since they are hrmly fastened down at each side by large buttons, and the space left be- tween is sufficient only to accommo- date the very f1imsiest handkerchief folded very flat Tailors and dress makers are more rigid than ever in their opposition to the pocket throw ing, as 1t does, the line of the figure out of drawing.
 It has been so much the fashion lately to cover coat lapels with lawn, crochet or lace collars that it is distinct disappointment to learn that this fall the lingerie adornment is "out Of it." In other words, the best dress ed women have discarded them and are wearing only perfect bloom Of either rose or carnation in the left but tonhole. The fact is, cheap limitations of exquisitely embroidered lawn and linen have become so common as to discredit the mode.
 Individual touches in the whole realm of clothes are the distinctive note of fashion for the fall as they have been for some time. And to make blouse different or unusual for instance, Is the aim of every well dress ed woman. The principal aid in this di- rection is the bit of hand work. It ap- pears on all the expensive blouses. The | latest whim is the smocked yoke which is most effective on blouse of soft, | elastic fabric such as crepe de chine or of soft silk or linen. Cross stitch, dis creetly used, adds a pretty note, and the French dot popcorn effects are de- cidedly decorative. The rage for wool embroidery has brought us back to many of the stitches learned in kinder garten days. These elementary stitch es are worked out in all the brilliant crude reds, blues and greens that we | selected with our primitive sense of color. This fantastic form of decora- tion is to be observed on collars, re- vers, cuffs, belts and bands-in fact wherever a bold dash of color serves best the idea of the designer.

DESSERTS MADE FROM PEACHES
+ l. i

A DAINTY peach dessert which
 would be suitable for a party is made by removing the stones from large peaches which have been pre- served or boiled in a sirup until clear. Then place between each two halves a thick layer of ice cream. Add few red raspberries to each dish and serve at once.
 Peach salad is another pretty dish. Pare and cut in halves large yellow peaches. prepare two halves for each plate. Drop halves into ice water to chill and prevent their turning brown. Chop one-half cupful of mixed nuts, one-half cupful of candied cherries. Mix with mayonnaise. Fill peaches, which have been put on lettuce leaves, with the mixture and top with whip ped cream. Serve very cold
 Peach custard is a delicious warm weather dessert To make it fill a quart pudding dish half full of ripe peaches, pared and sliced. Make a custard with the yolks of three eggs, half cupfui of sugar and one pint of milk boiled in a double boiler until thick. Flavor the custard with vanilla and pour over the peaches while boil ing hot. Beat the whites of the eggs with three tablespoonfuls of sugar and spread them over the peaches and cus- tard. Put the pudding in the oven and brown slightly. Serve cold with cake. Peach dumpling Is fine. For this dainty dessert take one cupful of flour, | one teaspoonful of baking powder and one teaspoonful of butter. Mix with a little milk and drop from a teaspoon into hot peach sirup. Cover and boil ten minutes, then serve with a spoon full of preserved or sliced peaches and whipped cream.

SOME THINGS MOTHERS SHOULD
 REMEMBER.

4 CHILD should always be allowed 1A to wake naturally in the morning. Nothing short of fire in the house excuses waking him suddenly.
 No romping games. no teasing or tickling or loud laughter of any kind, should be allowed before a child's bed time The younger a child is the more important it is to observe this rule.
 A child taken suddenly III is better without food for at least a little while. He should be kept quiet until the doc tor comes in a well aired but neither chilly nor overheated room.
 Medicine will often be taken more readily by a child if diluted with a lit- tie water. A taste of orange juice be- fore and after or a little sugar will serve the same purpose.

THE variety in topcoats is amazing,
 especially so when one thinks back on the ugly raincoat days, when a shapeless garment was the only top coat a woman owned. These we wore when the weather was rainy and when the weather was cold and depended on the coat suit for all the other days.
 Just what factor in fashions brought about the demand for the topcoat is difficult to tell. Some think the in coming of the one piece dress. others ascribe it to the amazing grip of open air sports on the women of the land. but 1t Is probable that the real reason is the way every one uses automobiles.

THE KITCHEN SINK.

TT is never wise to allow the kitchen sink to remain soiled and greasy. for in summer the small particles quickly decay, and the result is not only unpleasant, but is a menace to health.
 To clean the kitchen sink wash it thoroughly with ammonia and warm water Common sulphate of iron dis solved in the proportion of one pound to four gallons of water and poured over the sink will make 1t quite clean and sweet.

The rich use their own, and the poor use any one else's.
 Whatever the reason, women of all classes in society wear topcoats, whether they have much time for the open air sports or not. The coat is the swagger thing to have. but it is ex- cessively useful. Made, as it Is. some times from waterproof cloth, 1t is serv- iceable against rain as well as against cold and wind.

TIN SCRUB BUCKET.

TtHE most convenient scrub bucket is a light one made of galvanized tin, with a wide, faring top. The bucket should be fitted with a wire soap tray at one side, for often the soap is wasted when left floating in the water, for there is no convenient place to put it while scrubbing. Holes can be punctured in the bucket and the wire tray fastened with wire or heavy cord. Again, the soap may be kept in the tray and will always be convenient when needed.

 When baking potatoes rub dry and grease. This causes the outer skin to peel off very thin, thus saving the most nourishing part.

Ever since the first class received their warrants in 1908 there has been d strong bond of class fellowship which found real unity on Thursday evening when rep resentatives of each class met to or ganixe. The meeting was called to orr der by Miss Leona MacGeorge, general secretary of the association. a consti- tuition was adopted a class pin most unique and original was selected and officers elected as -folloWs:

 Meetings will be held once a month with lectures, social gatherings and all that makes the popular club will be features of this new organization. The club will be known as the Train ed Attendant Club of the Young Wom- ems Christian association and the members will be glad to receive calls through the central association office which keeps in touch with each mem ber Duringsthe past winter the asso- citation has had more calls than could be filled which shows how great, a need was supplied in this one educa- tional department of association work.
