TRIMMINGS FOR COATS.
Braid and Fur Very Popular For the
Purpose This Season.

There are many other trimmings on
the new coats besides fur. Wide and
narrow braids are used generously.
One good looking model Of black broad
cloth has a semihtted upper part. to
which. at a low waist line. Is attached
a ripple tunic reaching below the
knees. On this tunic are three rows OF
very wide black braid. Three rows
Of narrower braid trim the coat sleeves
above a narrcw velvet cuff. and the
fare collar Is of black velvet.
Many coats show edges bound with
narrow black braid in very smart eff
fects. Cord lacings with swinging tas-
tells are another popular trimming de-
vice.
A French coat for afternoon wear,
made of dark green peau de chamois,
Is laced In front. from flare collar TO

The front or this coat stops. short at
the wide belt, which slants downward
at either side TO the hips. From the
underarm seams the coat falls to the
knee. and the slantiag belt Is bu.tened
back on this long coattail.

the following very curious way:

Doll Pincushion For Christmas.

Pincushions in novel and pretty
forms make acceptable Christmas to-
kens. a very simple doll pincushion
to hang by the side of the dresser can
be quickly made. The head of a tiny
japanese doll, which IAN be purchased
in almost any toy department for 5
cents. Is used. Around the head a
length Of Dresden ribbon is tightly
gathered.
This is stuffed with lambs wool and
the ribbon is gathered tightly again at
the bottom. The doll Is suspended by
means of n ribbon fastened to the
cushion back of the Jap's head.
These little cushions are equally nice
to set on the dresser for fancy pins,

is gathered around a fat ribbon cover.

Christmas Gifts May Be Made From
Remnants From Scrap Basket.

II Is wonderful what attractive
Christmas souvenirs can be devised out
of odds and ends that are usually con-
signed to the scrap basket. In a GER

ingenious matron the making of hang
ings for an entrance doorway resulted
In the leaving Of several long strips of
decorative netting Of the variety which
Is an inexpensive substitute for the
ecru ''fillet" lace which comes from
southern Europe. The pattern is ar
ranged in squares showing figures of
animals, NEUROLOGICAL beings. and the
strips of such netting instead of being
thrown away she made into scarfs or
covers for small stands or %chiffoniers.
Small pieces OF such decorative net
ting may also be adapted for lamp
shades or for the wax tapers which are
often used upon the dining table as
well as upon the dressing stand, or for
shades which are sometimes used 20
chandeliers or wall lights.
The design In small squares filled with
quaint decoration lends itself admira-
bly, TO such use and the netting is par
ticularly beautiful when lined with

A BOY SCOUT GAME.
The Voyage Home Is Lively and Full
Of Fun.

The "voyase Home" Is Lively and Full
Of Fun.
The voyage home is the name of n
game which the boy scouts like.
Several scouts start from given points
with compasses, each point being Ia

port and its exact bearing.
BY taking IA sight aiorg IN, compass
the scout comes ut last to a coin or a
stone lying on the ground with a note
underneath il stating the name of the
pert and the compass direction of the
next port.
He signals to the umpire from each
port as he reaches it the name of the
place arrived at. If ii is out of the
regular geographical order he has TO
return TO the last port and try again.
Generally he has to visit six or eight
ports before he reaches "home." The
fellow who gets there soonest. visiting
all his ports in proper order ON the
way, wins.
The umpire has to be careful In max
ing the course beforehand to take the
bearings of the different ports very
carefully and accurately. If he gives
them the slightest degree wrong the
competitor may wander yards away
from the right spot.
OF course he can take any line of
travel he likes. not necessarily from
Shanghai. such as from Cairo to Lon
don or Edinburgh to st. Petersburg,
Cape Town to Petersburg, and so on.

The strike goes on in the most regu-

other-until, say, eight strokes have
been struck. The vibrations of the
coin then diminish in length until the
suspended coin again becomes motion

Shown In the Crossing Of Pure Yellow

The following beautifully clear sum-
mary of the principles of mendelism
Is due to the Rev. W. wilks, the IA

quarter of its seeds pure yellow, one

Flare at the Wrist.

The long fare wrist glove that has no
opening. but tightens by a broad band

wrist. is very correct for morning wear.
Very much the same effect can be
achieved by the short white glove and

TELLS OF TURKS IN 1919.
II a Fire Started In a House Its Owner
Was Hung Up.


As long ago as 1913 Coryate visited
Constantinople and has left a minute
account of its manners and customs.
Among other matters he notes that 1T
is the custom that whatsoever any fire
ariseth in the city to hang up him in
whose house it beginneth, as now a
cook iR whose house it begun was
hanged up presently after the fire ceas
ed" The Turks themselves, it appears,
were models of good breeding. THE
Turk doth never at the saluting Of his
friend at any time of the day or when
he drinketh to him at dinner or supper
put off his turban, as we Christians do
our hats one to another, but boweth
his head and putteth his right hand
upon his breast. so that he utterly dis
liketh the fashion that is used among
us of putting off our hats. Therefore,
when he wisheth any i'll to his enemy
he prayeth God to send him nc more
