RepoSe settles very gracefully up

home with the spirit of helpfulness
or cheerfulness. and when a woman
finds it necessary to be the pacifier
or the encourager it will be a time
for her to call upon her reserve
power of strength. She. therefore,
needs TO store up energy for the I'M
expected. because emergencies are
the usual thing in the household.

The wise woman will not fail to
take a few minutes rest several
times a day during even her busiest
times Indeed, it is on just such a
day that she most needs to practice
the beneficial gospel of relaxation.
To relax. to let go the nerve, brain

relaxation are gained by yield,

WHAT is COURTESY?

Courtesy is politeness, polish of
manner. At its best it is not an
accomplishment, but a quality of
life. the expression of kindly, cor

helpful
Courtesy wears well. and is al

look, gesture, manner. actions.
1t is spontaneous, flowing out in
small things as we'll as in the larger
affairs. 1t is tactful, moving on
hinges well oiled. The courteous
man eliminates friction
He is democratic. never snobbish:
he respects influence. power, posi-
ton but says "A mans a man for
a that"
The courteous man is considerate,
patient. self-controlled. He answers
questions graciously, helps by eS-
plantations directions or a bit of
inquiry or research. He seeks to
serve.
Courtesy cannot be bought; serl-
Iity can. The man of courteous
spirit is not "mushy;" he has opin-
ions and will; is independent, self
respecting, dignified, unpurchasable.
Courtesy is contagious; it may

weary housewife the energy to ac-
complish more with less fatigue than
is otherwise possible.
The foregoing suggestion is so

nonsense. Nevertheless it is body

Rest periods of fifteen minutes
during the day are much to be de-
sired in the housekeeper's program.
and they should be taken before
she has become so weary that fifteen
minutes rest does not seem to count.
A hardworking professional man
was asked how often he rested. He
replied as often as he had fifteen
minutes to spare. Women do not
rest often enough before they are
utterly exhausted. Sometimes it
seems easier to continue working
than to stop. because the first eX-
periences in resting are most unconl-

young housekeepers full of life and

tailored suit of velvet or velveteen.
Sleeves of velvet costumes are in
marked contrast to those of strictly
tailored cloth suits While the arm
coverings of the latter invariably
are set in. the former, continuing
the vague long shoulder, are cut
with it.
Another noticeable thing about vel
vet this year is that it is worn by
women of all ases-from the tiny tot
to the grandmother There are
many young women to whom black
is vastly more becoming than some
of the colors, as it brings out the
tones of a fresh complexion, the
high lights of the hair and the bril-
liancy of the eyes. Few of the new
models have color reliefs. The
dense blackness often is brought
against the face directly. Some
variations are found in suits that
have white frills at the wrists.

SHORT DRESSES POPULAR.

Short dresses are still ultra smart
in New York. Many promenaders
on Fifth avenue affect them. The
afternoon dress of black taffeta,
with its black net tunic and black
net unlined sleeves. is the costume
that now makes the more conserva-
tive women stare.
The shortness of the skirt makes
the pale golden yellow stockings
and shoe tops stand out in startling
contrast: yet every we'll dressed
woman seems to be wearing them ::
it is one of those fads that sweep
the avenue for a time.

showing through they are at times
more painful than pretty to look
upon.
Flat coiffures with the tight little
velvet hats and their overbound
edges are cooked jauntily to one
side on the head; every other woman
has one The larger shapes are
less seen as yet, but in ten days
from now Fifth avenue may be colt
fed with these stunning large shapes

FASHION NOTES.

Our New York fashion correspon-
dent says:
There is a new alliance of colors
in the world of fashion It is not
a triple entente. but the combina-
ton is very strong Blue and taupe
are the shades mingled in many of
the smartest models for autumn and
winter Blue and white is anothe,
smart combination, but these shades
are seen together more in dinner
frocks and evening gowns.
Although there are entirely new
groupings of colors this season, the
dark tones prevail for street wear.
In several instances elegant mater
ials are used, even for morning
dresses. but the resourceful woman
has always access to less expensive
fabrics and trimmings.
A model that might serve for re-
production in serge. repp. etc. has a
skirt in taupe. 1t is narrow and
clingng. but not so that il is very
noticeable. In fact one charm of
the suit is its lack of conspicuous
ness. polonaise in marine blue
which barely covers the hips at
front centre, dips low at both sides
and at the waist is confined by a
broad belt of blue silk.
Revers of the broadest sort turn

a taupe waistcoat and a cream lace
blouse Seven eighth sleeves rather
narrow and set into moderately low
dropped arm-eyes. give the impress

ance with the idea conveyed by
various models in contrasted shades
or fabrics, and while in this in
stance it is happy one it is not
invariably successful. Assuredly it
is not one to be blndly followed.
Furs made their appearance in
August but no one seemed to take
their advent seriously. AS the cool
days remind us that summer has
gone officially and otherwise. inter

coLoRs TO SUIT YOUR EYES.

Did it ever occur to you that by
simple matter of dress the color
of your eyes can be perceptibly
changed? For instance, blue eyes
are deepened by wearing certain
shades of blue. The writer knows
a girl whose innocent hazel eyes
turn an unmistakable green when
she wears green blouse, and so
far is it from being unbecoming
that her friends consider it the
most becoming color.

BANANA PUDDING.
Banana pudding is a delightful

the bananas: leave till cold. then

the whites of the eggs, previously
whipped to firm froth. Grease

the pudding lightly fill the mold

steam for two and half hours.
This pudding requires great care
in turning out. 1t should be served
with almond sauce, which is made

almonds, blanch them and pound
them in mortar or basin with
one tablespoonful of orange flower
until they are of the consistency
of thick paste. Place the paste in
