THE CORRECT SKIRT.

Comparatively Short, but Worn With
Coats Long In Line.
In having street skirts cut see thai
the short skirt, the one which empha.
sizes the latest ruling as to length, Is
worn only with a high weighted TOP
and with a coat whose skirts are long
All OF the new models which were
responsible for the introduction Of the
short skirt styles for fall were made
with either coat skirts which fell to
the knees or else simulated the effect
by elevating the waist line to the d.
rectoire line and attaching long skirts
from this position. which reached be-
low the hip line
The first OF these styles, introduced
last spring by Paquin of Paris, de-
ferred to this rigid style line by pro-
Viding the tailleur with a long ineroy-
able coattail. thus preserving the long
line effect considered such an essen
tial point OF the short skirted models.

Thanksgiving. our one truly Ameri-
can holiday, will soon be with us, and
we will all be celebrating turkey
day"
1t is indeed a long cry from that first
day Of Thanksgiving as spent by the
Pilgrims to our modern festival which
to the casual observer seems to be a
conglomeration Of chrysanthemums
and football!
But the great mass Of homemakers
are still true to the best traditions OF
the day and do make ii festival Of
reunion and true happiness.
In large cities there Is the unfortu-
nate tendency Of many to eat their
Thanksgiving dinners in hotels. In
deed, it is almost a fad and people
crowd the most luxurious restaurants
on that day. This seems a deplorable
tendency, bot the custom is confined
only to our larger cities and IN the
great mass Of our American homes we
are stin allowing the true home spirit

The same game played with tickets

Those who think themselves unfor
tunate because the apartment they call
home is so small that a Thanksgiving
dinner is an lmpOssibility should not
despair.
One bride who had but two rooms
gave a successful Thanksgiving din
ner in her apartment last year. The
gas stove Of two burners, with a one
burner oven. sat on a cretOnne cover
ed shoe box in front Of q window
The ventilation was perfect The bride
gave much thought to see how each
dish could be prepared with the least
amount OF work and time.
She bought a baby turkey-a wee six
pound One-and stuffed II as mother
used to do. Mincemeat tarts were bak-
ed at the same time. potatoes and peas
were cooked in a double boiler. Gran
berry jelly she made the day before
and. in fact, the turkey was stuffed
and partly roasted the day before.
for Thanksgiving afternoon this wise
young bride had planned to spend at
a football gape.
When she returned she donned an
attractive cover all apron. and in three
quarters Of an hour. when her guests
arrived, the table was set. the oyster
cocktails were In place and the dinner
ready to serve. Needless to say. the
bridegroom was q very proud and
