Fashions in the Extreme.

IN both suits and dresses there is a ten
= dency to drape the back of the skirt to
give it an uplifted effect, which makes
the back look like the front. Skirts in all
cases are narrow at the foot. SO that
slashes are a necessity. Both short and
extreme slashes are used. some reaching
almost to the waist line. The fringed
garter is worn with evening dresses that
are slashed to an extreme. The fringe is
worn below the knee. and is long and
heavy, concealing the limb to great ex-
tent 1t is In the color to match the cos
tune.
The fashionable skirt is short both in
evening and practical costumes. One of
the new ideas is the hustle effect. which is
carried out on evening dresses by the use
of draperies and bows placed directly in
the back The hoop effect is given by
means of a three-tiered skirt with the
edges bound In ribbon concealing feather
boning
The tango effect is produced by close
fitting ble,omers finished at the foot with
a narrow trimming. The boomers extend
to the waist line. over which the material
Is draped to give pannier effect in the
back.

For Needles and Thread.

HERE is a suggestion for a Christmas
gift. Cut two circles OF cretonne.
one eleven inches in diameter, one two
inches smaller. Buy enough inch-wide
satin ribbon to go about the smaller
circle twice. Now crease each circle
straight across five times, SO that each
will be marked from center to edge ten
times, at equal distances.
The distance between creases on the
smaller circle will be little less than
three inches. Basic the edges of the
two circles together, adjusting the full
ness Of the bigger circle to the smaller
one by means of ten pleats, laid at the
.creases. Basic again two and three
quarter inches from the edge. Bind the
edge with ribbon and stitch 1t on and
stitch the circle basted two and three
quarter inches from the edge. Bind the
the center of the smaller circle and stun
the little pun i'm the middle of the big
circle with emery or dried coffee grounds
something In which needles will not
rust.
Sew a circle of cretonne over the bot
tom of the little cushion SO formed. and
tuft it through from top to bottom wit
embroidery silk. Now you should hav
something that looks like hat. withA
hard crown-or. In other words. a cushtn
with Tapping brim around il. Hlf
way between the edge of the brim nd
the stitching that marks the beginning
of the crown-an inch and three-eigths
from the edge-fasten ten small bass
rings. one over each crease or pleat.
Run the second strip of ribbon thraigh
them and between each two rings run
the ribbon through a spool of seging
silk or cotton. Fasten the two eIrt or
the ribbon together under one Of the
rings with a ball and socket fastener
or with small bow. Then put needles
of assorted sizes in the crown cnshion-
and you have finished useful gift.

VELVET COSTUMES.

THE velvets, pushes. duvetines and
wool velours, combined with fur
trimmings and fancy waistcoats, make
the suits this fall very elegant. Owing
to the heavy texture of even the finest
Velvets, sheer materials are used in the
waist portion, being more suited to the
average indoor temperature. Those dresses
designed particularly for street wear.
however, have the waist of velvet, and
sometimes a lining is provided.
Fur trimmings are not only used on
street suits of velvet, but also on velvet
evening and reception gowns. The heavy
texture of the velvet is very favorable TO
long lines, and for this reason tunics are
not used on velvet evening gowns. When
a short drapery is desired, tunicS of tulle,
chiffon or lace are arranged over the long
draperies.
The most popular weaves for dressy
suits are the embossed and MORE velvets.
They are used in combination with satin.
crepe meteor, panne velvet and MORE silk.
For practical use coat suits of velvet are
trimmed with chinchilla, squirrel, fox,
skunk and caracal.

and then the cakes are apt to become
leaden, unless treated thus: Boil some
cream and add a little salt and butter; or
if cream is not to be had, thicken slightly
some milk with flour and butter rubbed
together Pour some Of this over each
cake as fast as baked, keep in the oven,
and the cakes will be light and hot.
While sour milk is excellent for making
griddle cakes, never use 1T when 1t Is
bitter as well as sour from having been
kept too long or in a warm room.
When using sour milk. remember that
the escape of gas, which iightens the
cakes, takes place at once after adding
the soda to the batter, SO work quickly,
and do the beating before adding 1t.
When making pancakes put all the in

the exception of soda Or baking powder.
The cakes will be much better. Several
slices of bread finely crumbed and added

Whether or not they wear these ami
