Providing the long shoulder, the

narrow basque sloping away over the
hips and falling almost to the knees.
1t is finished with a very wide and

Similar coats slope away to a panel

a broad band of fur or plush. This
finish has proved more popular than
the fringe.
A hat with some width of brim is

1t has the small, soft crown, which al

The front of the under bodice is ar
ranged to fall out over the waist line
and is a novelty in arrangement that
is noteworthy. Altogether this is an
achievement in designing so good that
it will outlive less beautiful models

more. The life of pretty gowns, most
of them costing considerable time and
some money, should not be so brief
that the time spent in making them Is
not worth while.

Breakfast Apple.

There is an interesting device to
make the preparation of the breakfast
apple easy. To begin with, there is a
little circular board on which the ap-
pie is placed. Then there is circular
band of steel, with three or four
cross pieces of metal, sharp on the
lower edge, fastened at each end to
the steel circle and bisecting each 9TH
er in the middle. The big circle is
placed outside the apple, which is now
on the little board, and then is pushed
down to the board. The cross pieces
cut the apple into segments, each just
the right size to pare and eat-or to
eat impaired, if you have taste for
apple skin.

blespoonfuls butter, three tablespoon

He came in with a cheerful smile, and
with hand extended
How do you do, old man?' he said; "gce,
but you're looking splendid!
You're growing younger every year; 1
wonder how you do it?''
He then espied an empty chair and took
a fancy to 1t.
''The world has used you well. hear"
he said with glad conviction;
II always claimed you'd get ahead; you've
made good my prediction;
1t only proves that talent wins when
properly directed;
You've been successful, but no more than
might have been expected.
II hear men talking everywhere about the
things you're doing;
/ wish I'd had the sense to take the
course you've been pursuing:
You always had the gift to see the prop
er time for action;
The victories you've won must be a source
of satisfaction"
1t seemed as if at last the world was
granting justice to me,
And while he spoke I felt thrill OF
gladnes coursing through me;
But presently he spoke again and changed
my pride to sorrow;
He purpose merely was to get ten dol
lars till tomorrow.

clock. having numbers on it which
range from one to twelve, and the
moment the hand moves the house
wife can tell whether the oven is too
hot or too cold, thus obviating the
necessity of opening the oven door to
obtain this information, and thereby
cooling the oven. 1t also warns of toe
great heat which means waste OF

justed. or the gas in gas stove turn

creamed Potatoes.

When creaming potatoes, cut them
cold and mix together, then sprinkle
generously with flour and mix alto
gether. Add the amount of cold milk
desired and put all on the fire to cook.
AS it heats, stir gently. 1t will thick

creamy This does away with the dis
agreeable lack of making thickening,
and the whole is completed in half the
time and with half the work. The
same method may be used when friz-
zling beef or creaming turkey, chick
en- or Goldfish. 1t is not necessary to
melt cocoa before adding it to the
milk if you put the ingredients togeth-
er before heating.

ABOUT THE HOLBEIN FIGURE
Women Must Accept the Unrestricted
Natural Lines of the Body in
New Clothes.

In connection with the discussion
of the so-called cotsetless figure, It
may be noted that the lines OF tbe
natural, supple figure are more ncEtre-
able in the evening gowns than in the
street togs. Women may refuse to
adopt the Holbein figure for the
street, but they will be forced to
accept it in effect in the majority of
the new evening frocks. The coutu-
riers have beer advising the boneless
tricot corsets for the evening for sew
eral seasons, but this winter they
have taken a more advanced step
they have forced them on their GUS
toners by designing frocks that give
the effect Of lightly corseted figure.
There are many ways of leading a
woman IL the way one would wish
her to go, and few are unknown to
the willy French couturier.

Spots on China

The beauty of old china is often de-
stroyed by brown spots which appear
on the surface. An effective way to
remove these is to bury the dish in the
earth, covering it completely. The
darker spots require more time to re.
move them than the lighter ones.
This method will not harm the most
delicate china.
