Peeps at the Modes.

Softness is an essential for all mate
rails, whether they be silk or wool, con-
sidering the prevailing style in dressmak-
ing.
One of the latest notions is dress with
a front train. The fashion leaders of the
directoire period had them, and hence
they come to us. These front trains are
necessarily held up. They need much
grace in the handling. The object of the
Understandable dresses is to produce a
large effect at the hips. though the hips
themselves must look small, often carried
out by a short apron made very full.
Many evening gowns are conspicuous for
the lack Of sleeves. and very little stuff is
needed for the bodice. Nearly all dra-
peries are carried backward, and often
there is a hustle effect which possibly
next season may be accentuated. Some
of the opera cloaks are showing rolled
fur collars dyed the exact shade of the
mantle. even If it is green. blue or pink
Hitherto fur has been respected by the
dyer. Caracul and fox will take any
shade. and, in red, mauve, with velvet of
the same tone, is specially beautiful.
The zouave jacket has come back again
and seems likely to be a rival to the
blouse. 1t is long enough at the back to
be pushed over the belt. The front is
loose. and opens over an undervest Many
of them have turnover collars, edged with
fur waistcoatS.

the ones who are enjoying the spectacle.
The rest of the world is furious or dis
couraged In the latter class are those
women who look their worst in high
hats. You can see for yourself that only
the possessor of a small-featured face
could attempt the hats which have been
sent over from the artist in Paris. 1t

the small houses, and represents the last
creation of a well known milliner
The high crown is of black taffeta
plated at the base to keep it away from
severity. The two Brunhilde wings that
rise aloft from each side areof black
velvet-that soft shining panne velvet
of one point is a curling spray of burnt
ostrich feathers. If it had not been for
the American customs house the aigrette
would probably have been used. but as
the Wearer was an American woman and
probably wished to bring her hat to
America later on. she chose the ostrich
feathers for peace.
No one who was in Paris in the early
autumn was unimpressed by the univer-
sal use of the black hat. One could

hats.
No matter what sample was taken to
any one of these milliners. the answer
the black hat was always handed out as
the best choice. This was good artistic
Judgment, for the wild orgy of barbaric
colors offered by the dressmakers needed
a dash of sober color to tone them down.
The milliners have been taxed to the
utmost to provide variety of shapes in
black to suit the caprices of their Gus
toners, and to induce women to buy
more than one hat Possibly it is for
this reason that We have with us today

Winter Care of Furs.

turs given Il little attention when in
use will last much longer than if neg
lected. Some women seem TO believe that
if furs are properly stored during the
summer they can take care of themselves
during the winter.
But this is a mistake. The thick, glossy
fur naturally gathers quantities of dust
and if this is allowed to remain it will
dim the luster of the furs and make them
look shabby.
Particularly is this true of black fur.
Then, too, the dust Sits right into the
skin and lodges there. So unless one
wants To carry a load of dust, furs
should be given thorough shaking after
each wearing, before being put away.
a wetting will not harm furs Though
drenching is not to be recommended) if
they are properly dried. This should be
done, whenever possible in a draught, by
an open window. never before a fire, be-
cause each hair contains the tiniest guam
tity of oil, and heat causes this to dry
up. Then. of course. the fur loses Its
gloss. Dark furs very much soiled can be
improved by brushing them with a whisk
broom dipped into cold water, afterward
hanging them where they will dry quick
ly. They should be shaken occasionally
while drying, and to restore the gloss rub
in hot bran.
Since furs fiatten and is apt to mat
together when laid away in the usual box
it is a much better plan to use the muff
hangers which come for the purpose
These hold both muff and scarf. Throw
ing furs around carelessly is very harm
full. because the hairs are apt to fall on
posite to the natural direction of growth,
and if left any length of time are very
difficult to remedy.
The white furs. as ermine, minever and
white fox. should be kept in blue paper
always when not in use to prevent them
turning yellow. They should preferably
be stored in dark place.
The short-haired white furs can be
cleaned at home by rubbing in hot
flour and shaking it out again. 1t is
astonishing to see the soil flour win
bring out. Short-haired gray furs. as
chinchilla and squirrel, can be fresh
ened by rubbing with alcohol, but light
long-haired furs require professional
treatment when soiled.
The present idea of sewing a ribbon
or chiffon full to the top Of the fur
scarf is a good one because it prevents
the edge of the fur from wearing. 1t
is also a good idea to change the po-
sition of carrying the muf frequently.
For instance. some women have a habit
of hanging the u1uff from the right arm
more than half the time. Very soon the
part rubbing the coat becomes bare. This
could be avoided with just a little

q restraining note that preserves dig
nifty to them.
So it is also with the adaptations of
the old time panniers to modern pur-
poses. The puffed-out, punched ones are
too remotely out of keeping with the
slim outline women still insist upon, but
modified. with less fullness. the drapery
made soft and the folds pushed below
the hips, the effect, though not dissimi-
lar, is infinitely more lkable
An excellent example of modified pam
nier drapery is exploited in the design
illustrated here. The gown is developed
in paleSt green crepe meteor with tunic
of chantilly net that is almost as long
as the satin skirt. BY gathering this
the front. at the waist line, where it is
pouched over the remainder of the tuuic,
a most pleasing pannier drapery is
achieved
The lower edge of the tunic, with its
curved slash at center front, is defined
by line of dewdrop rhinestones, and a
trimming scheme of large daisies in bead
work and embroidery is applied to the
tunic in a line running diagonally across
the front.
The daisies are repeated on chiffon
banding across the front of the corsage
and partly yelled at the sides where the
lace bodice is surpliced over it. The
banding is a part of the net foundation
waist which has sleeves cut in one with
it and outlined at the edges with rhine
stones.
The lace of the bodice, which is chan
tilly, by the way. is run over the Shout
hers and down the back below the hips
in pointed shawl drapery caught in at
the waist with Il square rhinestone
buckle Some of the daisy foliage is
used to belt in the blouse.

XIII.-The Dance Night.

The night of the dance to be given by
the Royal Knights in the town hall came
at last. For days before it had helped
my mother scarcely at all with the house
work. could not wash dishes because
to do SO would make my hands red
could not make the beds because bending
tired my back. and 1 had to be fresh for
dancing. I could not dust, because my
hair had just been washed, and some of
the dust might catch in 1t and DESTROY
its gloss.
When the great night finally arrived
I could not eat my dinner. 1 was too ex-
cited. It was really my first grown-up
party.
1t was agreed that my brother Billy
should ride with me as far as the door of
the hall and then leave me. This was for
two reasons: First, because 1 had pro-
tested 1 would not have a chaperon; and
secondhand really more important-Billy's
clothes were not fit to be seen in the
glare OF light which would be shed upon
the festivities. For years it had been
who confiscated any superfluous money,
and spent It upon flnery. On this occa-
sion l had taken my mothers one and
only good dress, and with the money my
brother had saved for shoes for himself
l had bought my first pair of silk stock
ings. Even my father had given some
thing. He had agreed to pay for a hack
from the station, SO my new slippers
would not get muddy before ever they
were danced in.
OF us all, remember I was the only one
Of our family not contributing in any
way to the support of our home. Yet it
was I who claimed the privileges, and
the major portion of the net results.
Why? Because I was girl. What kind
of womanhood can flower from such a
frosted and unnatural bud,
I was really very happy as ] dressed
myself for the dance. Everything had
been done exactly as I wanted it. My
mother had said I looked beautiful in
her dress when I finally finished making
it over. She had offered no further COM
ment upon the low neck. My brother
had been ordered into silence on the
same subject. 1 slipped my feet into the
wonderful high-heeled slippers. l smiled
at myself in the mirror. My mouth was
red as wound against my teeth. My
eyes were soft and dangerous like a
panther's.
Slowly I came down stairs from my
room to let my brother tuck me into
the hack. One would have thought me
a professional society beauty. And GER

Squash at Its Best.

Winter squash ought to be considered
one of the best of winter vegetables But
naturally enough when it is served in a
soft. watery mass, as it SO frequently is,
1t is looked on as rather tasteless and
distinctly monotonous. The best way to
cook winter squash is to bake it. The
shell should be washed and the squash
cut in two Then the seeds should be re-
moved and the two halves placed in a pan
In the oven. They should be baked in a
moderate oven until the pulp is soft. If
necessary a sheet of waxed paper may be
spread over the squash to keep it from
scorching. When it is done the pulp
should be scraped from the skin and
mashed, with much butter and a liberal
seasoning of pepper and salt. If the
squash is steamed or boiled until tender
1t must be drained in a fine sieve for d
long time and then heated, with plenty of
butter, pepper and salt, in double
boiler.
Baked squash can be formed into small
balls and fried. When the pulp is tender
press it through Il colander and to the
pulp of one squash of medium size add
half a cupful of soft bread crumbs, tea
spoonful of salt and some pepper. Mix
well and add a heaping tablespoonful of
sort butter. Heat over the fire and then
COOL Form in balls and roll in cracker
crumbs, very fine. Fry in deep, hot fat.
Planned squash is worth trying. To
make it boil squash, cut into squares
about three inches across, for twenty
minutes. Drain these thoroughly and put
a layer in the bottom of baking dish.
Sprinkle the layer with sugar and dots of
butter. Put in another layer of squash,
and more butter and sugar and fill the
dish with alternate layers of squash and
seasoning. Pour half cupful of warm
water over the whole and cover the dish
securely. A casserole is a satisfactory
dish to use. Cook the squash in a moder-
ate oven for an hour. When it is done
the squash should be almost transparent
and very tender.
Squash mullins are delicious and they
can be made from cold, leftover squash.
To make them use two-thirds of cupful
Of cooked squash with quarter Of a cup
full of sugar. Beat an egg until it is
frothy and add it to the other ingredients.
Mix three teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der and half teaspoonful of salt with
two and two-thirds cupfuls of flour and
sift. Add to the squash mixture and beat
thoroughly Then add two tablespoonfuls
of melted butter and put in muffin rings
Bake in moderately hot oven for TWEEN
ty-five minutes.
Squash can be cooked somewhat in the
manner of eggplant. Slice it in slices
half an inch thick and cut each slice in
four pieces. Parboil them gently until
they are slightly softened. Then dip each
piece in beaten eggs and fine cracker
crumbs and fry brown in shallow hot fat

CURRANT RECIPES.

The dried currant is capable Of forming
many delicious dishes of which the aver
age housewife remains complacently un-
mindful Dry and interesting as they
look in a package. they possess POSSIBLE
ties that ever woman who has ever been
puzzled about giving variety to the
menus she planned ought to understand.
For in winter, when the markets have
not such big variety OF fresh Vese-
tables as they have in summer. any 1000
as easily kept as the currant Is shouiu
be made frequent use Of.
Currants, by the way. originally came
from Corinth-and that is how tney 20,
their name, for Corinth was easily turn
into currant. In Corinth tney "eie ~
wild grape. which grew on mliiia.uiS
vines, and which the natives plcheo AZ. az
dried for expectation. They got an iusa
because of the enormous demand Tor Iheir
dried grapes that the people VINO Doug ~
the dried grapes used them lot d Bull
Of dye.
It is essential that currants be thor
oughly cleaned. Sometimes they ale
cleaned thoroughly before they are SOIL
and cleaned curfants are therefore, INC
best sort to get. But If you buy un-
cleaned currants, wash them thoroughly
and then dry them thoroughly. One way
to wash them is to put them in colanaer
and let running water run over tnen'
rubbing them about and separating them
constantly. Then spread them on q nat
pan and dry them in the edge OF the oven
or in the hot sunshine. Then dreoge
them with -four and shake them in
sieve until all the dry flour is shaken
off. The -four removes whatever dust Is
only the dirt from currants-none OF the
flavor-so don't be afraid to wash them
thoroughly.
This is the way to make currant buns.
Rub a quarter of cup of butter into
two cups of flour. Add a cup of warm
milk, half a yeast cake dissolved In two
tablespoonfuls of sugar. Mix thoroughly
and place it in a warm place to rise.
When it has risen. add two ounces OF
cleaned currants. form In eight or ten
buns. brush with beaten egg, let rise
again and bake.
For currant pancakes add quarter Of
a pound of currants to two cups of pan
cake batter.
Currant sauce for roast pork is made in
this way: Boil two cups of water FOR a
few minutes with an ounce Of currants:
Add cup of bread crumbs. Let stand
for FIVE minutes, beat with a fork and
mix with a cup of melted butter Add
three tabespoonfuls of pork gravy, some
salt and wineglass of port. If desired
Stir over the fire until smooth and serve.
For currant fritters mix a cupful OF
currants with four tablespoonfuls Of flour.
Beat the whites of three eggs, add the
yolks. we'll beaten, little sauce and then
the flour and currants. Mix all well ana
drop in spoonfuls in hot fat. Drain the
fritters on blotting paper and serve them
sprinkled with sugar or with sweet
sauce. Without sauce they can be
served with meat. With a sauce they
form good dessert dish.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E, YOUNG.

The tendency toward panner effects,
which promised some absurd exaggera-
tions, has so far resulted rather pleas
ingly. The soft silk and supple materials
in general are well adapted to the quaint
hip-drapery effects, permitting them to
be graceful without approaching the
ridiculous, as they undeniably were
worked out in the stiff brocades Of the
days of their former sway.
The dropping half-careless effect that
the Surplice blouse assumes is being ac-
CURED by various other types of bodices,
but the looseness must never be permit
ted to be overdone, else the desired eff
feet is entirely lost. In fact it is charac-
teristic of all fashions that although
every possible liberty seems to the casual
observer to be allowable there is always
