Turkish Coffee,

The Turks. though possessing little
scientific knowledge. are nevertheless
practical people. They have learned
from long experience that pulverized
coffee. pounded in marble mortar
and passed through a sieve, is both
good and economical, as it gives the
full flavor of the bean and loses moth
ing of its strength.
The great event of a visit TO Turk
ish home is the serving of coffee. The
host has a sort of brass shovel
brought 10 him. In il he roasts cot
fee beans and then takes pestle and
mortar and with his own hands
pounds it to a powder. Many Of the
pestles and mortars used in Turkey
are heirlooms, passing from father to
son through the generations, and are
richly and beautifully Ornamented.
Having drunk coffee in the house OF a
Turk. you need have no fear of him,
even if he has the worst of reputa-
tons for being murderous. No Turk
would harm a man who has drunk
coffee under his roof.

POPULAR BLACK AND WHITE
Almost Sure to Be the Leading
Colors for the Coming Sea-
sons Costumes.

Black and white. the two most pop
ular colors in the fashion chart
which suffered a temporary eclipse
early in the summer. are prominently
demonstrated in the fashions where
the pulse of the coming season
STYLES is generally felt by the great
designers of dress.
"The union of black and white is
certainly a marriage de reason. for
IT is both practical and distinguished,
and the fashion has lasted so long
that every one is astonished at so
much constancy in the realm of fash
ion. which is always full of fantasy
and eager for novelty and change,
saws an authentic fashion writer.
Black and whites are the tones
most in vogue for elegant toilettes.
Smart women of the world are bound
to have white costumes, black cos
tunes and costumes in which black
and white intermingle. Here and
there a brighter note is seen; sashes
coat. hats. sunshades are often of gay
colors, but the predominating tones
at all fashionable gatherings are un
doubtedly black and white.
Nothing is so distinguished as BLACK

Wnman,s DaY in Austria.

The women of the Social Democrat
ic party held lately a 'woman's day
in Austria. The Vienna town hall
was filled to overlooking with woren
bearing banners. The speakers at the
meeting said that women must organ
ize themselves with the object of get
ting the law, which fOrbids them to
hold political meetings or to form po-
litical organizations, repealed. During
the meeting, it was pointed out that
when the men had been called away
from their daily avocations, without
warning. to spend weeks and months
on the frontier, the women at home
had been obliged to work for the sup
port of their families, as the allow
ance made by the government to the
wives and families of reservists was
ridiculously inadequate.

Droopjnc Blouse.

There is one alienation about the
large waist line which was evidently
an afterthought on the part of the
dressmakers This is the width of the
blouse across the back and its full
ness at the waist line. All the fash
ionable blouses are voluminous be-
low the arms. and they sag two
inches over the belt. AS you can
easily see, this fullness makes the
waist line more defined and gives
grace to the figure
Even when the belt is high. there
is the same effect of the fullness, and
the woman who has not yet learned
this trick with her blouse should
take it up, for 1t helps matters in
remarkable way.

Belts of Metal Cloth.

Among the novelty belts on after
noon gowns and some of the informal
evening gowns of taffeta and lace
there are six inch straight belts OF
metal cloth either plain or with a
stamped figure. These belts make no
pretense of giving shape to the figure;
they preserve the straight line from
beneath the bust to a half-inch below
the normal waist line. They rarely
have any ornament attached They
fasten under a fold of the material at
the back or the SIDE.
There are also some new belts made
after the same straight fashion OF

straight lines or heavy silk floss en-
