A Big Caravan of Cars.

Every other minute an auto rolled up
or down Water street, bringing owners,
who are Shriners. Among the first of
these To arrive was Hon. Harry Aus

cheers. In many visiting machines
came ladies' to see the caravan To the
shrine. Scores of cars from all sections

Water street was filled with other
carriages and cars bringing sightseers
to Augusta and the sidewalks, espe-

scene.

vorite. and an old favorite revived is
otter, which shades from deep glossy
brown to a warm chestnut.
Skunk will be more fashionable than
ever, and, alas, the price of skunk
keeps on mounting with steady and
discouraging persistency. Five years
ago it could be had for a song. Then
it was known as imitation sable. Now
skunk has a reputation of its own and
pretends to initiate nothing. It is the
accepted pelt for trimming sealskin
wraps and handsome gowns, and even
a tiny edge of it along a tunic costs a.
substantial sum.
One of the prettiest fur sets shown
SO far this season is in the truly ami
NAL effect both as to shape and color
ing, made OF natural lynx This lynx
has charming color scheme, a soften
ed grayish bloom over the spotted sur
face, beneath which is the deeper yell
low that gives a hame1ike richness to
the surface. This particular set re-
tains the animal shape in a, short neck
piece in which the tiger eyed head
and the rich fluffy tail fall over the
making softness against the face and
eliminating any tendency to hardening
of lines.
The muir is quite different from
the effect of the neckpiece, for it is
merely a big plain pillow shape, show

most advantage, the white fluffy part
at the edges taking the place of any
velvet trimming.
Since this set is from an exclusive
furrier it is an argument in favor OF
the high style of the animal scarf and
the big pillow muff, but this detail is
to be decided by the Individual taste
OF the woman Of fashion since even
the makers of styles cannot dictate
what is to be the most becoming, and
the woman who asserts her Individual
ity even when adhering close to the
lines of the latest fashions is sure to
be more attractively CARRIED than the
woman who follows without thinking.
Fur trimming in tiny but artistic
touches is here again, much to the de-
light of womankind, for. especially
| when it is used with sheer materials
such as chiffon, there is the element of
surprise in this fur trimming-a de-
1ightfu1 surprise. to be sure, that adds
| to the coquettish charm of a dainty
garment. "Coquettish" is advisedly
used, for it is an element of chic dress
| ing that no woman who cares can af-
ford to overlook, even though she con-
| fines fur trimmings to her hats, frocks
and b1ouses and does not adorn her
! underclothing, as some of the makers
of diaphanous lingerie have done.
Fur trimming is not only a modish
and pretty adornrnent, but it affords
| an economical way of using up bits of
fur one has on hand, and little fur
bought by the yard can be cut up to
make stunning effects on frocks. For
| instance. brown skunk fur on a cream
lace blouse is fetching.

a NEW method OF removing ink
%A stains on linen is as follows; Cut
a ripe tomato in half and rub the ink
stain vigorously with the tomato. The
stain will disappear entirely when the
linen is washed.
Large papers or leaves OF books that
have become soiled from much han
ding can be put into perfect condition
if the loose dirt is first rubbed off with
a piece of bread; then cover the spots
with plotting paper made damp with
oxaIfc acid 1n~solution. Lastly pass a
hot iron over the plotting paper until it
dries.
To remove deep set creases in the
papers or the leaves OF a book put be-
tween two pieces of white plotting pa
per or any unsized paper slightly
dampened and press with warm iron
until the pages are perfectly smooth
The humble "goober," or peanut, is
now accepted as one of the foods most
rich in protein or tissue building. 1t
corresponds with meat and can replace
meat in the dietary. Used as peanut
butter and as chopped meats into
which cheese balls are rolled it be-
comes the basis of a hearty lunch. A
banana rolled in chopped peanuts and
served on lettuce with French dressing
is also delicious and nutritious.

Charming Things
IN Linens


HHOR the past year there has been a
perfect craze for lovely but fragile
embroidery on transparent materials
for, home decoration. This fall, how
ever, the newest ideas in this direction
for general use are either in white,
gray or a somewhat dark brownish
shade OF heavy linen worked in de-
signs wrought in coarse co1ored thread
in many hues. Often these pieces have
a accumulation. or. rather. background.
done in light stitches in a single tint
almost covering the pattern.
Here is one Of the newest designs.
Make a mental picture If possible, OF
a round table center in white linen
with frame and band solidly covered
with light scrolls in two or three dark
shades of blue describing irregular
shields in a haphazard, artistic way.
Amid this severe foundation are in
laid sing1y large stars, wild roses. ETC..
about three inches apart the outline
being emphasized with a needle etch-
ing in pink or. lemon or any bright
contrasting color which, charmingly
sets off the white linen foundation and
the deep blue OF the frame device.
On the other hand gay wreaths.
sprays and tufts OF field or garden
flowers in natural tints done in cross
stitch appear on tea coZies, sideboard
cloths, ETC., forming slight relief to a
background of close cross stitches in a
striking shade.
A number OF attractive motifs for
this kind of marQueterie style, are sold
ready stamped in blue with wee
squares and trel1iswork-
A few OF the more delicate chair
backs in snowy white linen, composed
of two or three squares, are also en-
Iivened in the center with a solid
wreath of blossoms in quaint, old fash
toned tones. the remainder of the linen
being left unadorned, with the excep-
ton of a quarter Of an inch frame
worked in red or yellow cotton.
Cluny, torchon or crochet lace unites
the large squares and surrounds the
edges. Occasionally a fringe falls at
the sides, while lace edging dutters
at the top and bottom.

THE secret of properly cooked rice
lies in an abundance of rapidly
boiling water. After washing the un-
cooked rice SO that the last rinsing
water is not even cloudy the grains
should be sprinkled into a kettle Of
rapidly boiling water. the rice being
added SO gradually that the violent
ebul1ition of the water will not be
checked. There must be plenty OF wa
ter and every grain of rice must be
fairly dancing UP and down Another
bit of rice cooking information worth
knowing is that rubbing the top of the
kettle with butter lard will keep the
rice from boiling over. The water will
never rise beyond the rim. This does
away with watching.
When the rice is tender turn into a
coarse sieve, hold under the hot water
faucet and let a couple of quarts of
water pass through. Add salt, place

Wedding Ideas Found In Pictures

THE fall bride elect who is looking

bride, who had her pages dressed like

soft white material, with a wide sailor
collar which opens in a deep in

and are edged with frills Of the ma

hair in the most becoming fashion.
Consider your type as you would an
other woman's and try different styles
of hairdressing. Study the present
styles until you find something that
you think really smart and appropri-

It is astonishing the difference the
way in which the couture is arranged
will make in ones appearance. With
certain types of faces a simple fashion
brings out all the good points, while
others require a more or less elaborate
dressing to add importance to the fea-
lures. For example, perhaps your nose
needs toning down If it is too big.
This can generally be done by huf1ng

SMART GOLF ATTIRE

GOLF is the pastime most in favor
when autumn touches the trees
with color. Tennis is the game Of mid
summer, but the cooling off after
strenuous tennis is apt to be sudden
on a chilly day in the fall, and the
wide stretches of the links, intolerab1e
under the midsummer sun, become de-
Hghful on autumn afternoons. The
fashionable golf1ng rig includes a rath-
err short skirt, absolutely plain in cut
and made of checked worsted or cor
duroy; a tub silk golf blouse and a
sweater belted outing coat of dark
worsted material. Some women wear
tucked blouses of white linen or ba-
tiste with little turnover collars of ma
chine embroidery, tie of bright col
ored silk being drawn under the little
collar. If the day is not too cold q
white linen skirt, buttoned down the
front, may be donned. and white buck
