Now you may protest that this was
extraordinarily cold-b'ooded reasoning for

We are all cold-blooded when we Judge

me that those in charge of the cloakroom
sometimes have a better view of the
evening costumes than those who sit in

You see the entire wrap OF fur IS quite
too heavy in our climate except during

Its purchase would be waste OF money.
IL we lived in the days when piece o.

ever heard words like his-the first time
any man, or, rather. boy, had ever ex-
pressed any interest in me in some such
way as did the heroes in their love scenes

they were stuck on me-" or that they
were ''nutty over me-" But here was a
real romance-a grown-up situation. At
last some one had actually asked me to
marry him.
And | never thought that Jack really
might suffer in any way because he cared
for me and because L did not care for
him. l was like all girls, and like too
many women. | simply did not consider
him except as he affected me. Would it
be amusing to have a man in love with
me in a grown-up way; or would 1t be a
bore? Would he give me more presents

Baked Mutton Outlets.

Prepare the outlets as for frying by
dipping them in beaten egg and then COW
ering with fine, dry bread crumbs. Lay
them in a dripping pan with very little
water in the bottom; sprinkle with pep
per and salt and bake, basting often with
butter and hot water. When they are
done make a little brown gravy with the
stock in the pan, a little hot water flour
and seasoning. If there is no fat or
liquid in the pan after frying or baking
your meats there Is always enough brown,
glazed juice of the meat sticking to the
pan to make good gravy stock by adding
cold water from one-haIf to a cupful, and
stirring 1t while the water heats to boil
ing point Too much good stock is thrown
away by not making use of this residue
from the browning of meat in sauteing.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

Some women profess a preference for
dressy afternoon gowns. and for black
above all other colors doubtless there are
those to whom it is more becoming than
any color. If you are one of these the
design here illustrated offers some pleas
ing possibilities and suggestions.
Panne velvet or charmeuse may be
used for the dress material. That used
in the blouse consists mostly of sleeves
and back. as the fronts are cut off just
in front of the shoulders and replaced by
a drapery of black chiffon started at the
neck and draped under the arms, then
up to the neck again in back. A goodly
opening is left in front to allow plenty
of white relief in the lace guimpe. This
is finished at the top by a shirred head

well. The cravat of ermine is a charm
