bons and silks which are very popular.
Some of the newest of these show the
autumn note in their combinations of
russet brown. green and dull red with
always stripe of black. This new
color scheme is also to be seen in the
new taffetas. Taffeta, by the way, is
used a great deal in combination with
serge and gabardine.
For the younger generation come
chiffon voiles with a six or eight-inch
satin stripe in self color woven ON the
edge. Tunics and founces are made
with this stripe ON the edge and with
the plain voile for the rest of the frock.
These voiles come In all the light
shades so popular for evening wear,
soft blues, shell pinks, varying shades
of green and in a yellow that so closely
resembles gold that 1t hardly seems
possible that it is not metal cloth.
The costumes at present demand
many accessories in the way of neck
wear, and the present tendency in these
dainty lace and organdy affairs is
toward the cape effects. Fichu effects
are also to be seen and are an attract
i've addition to dark frock of serge,
gabardine or satin. On the popular
dark blue frocks are to be seen cuffs
and collars in yellow crepe or ecru
linen. One set of ecru linen had turn
back cuffs and standing collar hem
stitched in an inch-wide hem. Another
set was of white linen with yellow
stripes about a quarter of an inch
apart. The collar was high and did
not meet In the front, while the turn
back cuffs were wide and pointed. The
edges of collar and cuffs were bound
with yellow to match the stripe in the
linen.
There has been good deal of talk
about the advent of low-heeled shoes
but, except for the walking shoes with
rubber soles and spring, or very low
heels they have not appeared. Short

ovERPLAYlNG THE GAME.

Be careful. Be prudent. Be eau
tious. Be provisional against emer-
gencies. But don't overshoot the
mark. Once there was man who did.
He lived all alone and one night when
he was going to bed he discovered that
he had only one match in the house.
What should he do? The hour was
late, too late for him to get any more
matches because all the stores were
closed. He pondered the situation
long and deeply. Suppose he should
become suddenly and seriously i'll dur
ing the night. The place would be
entirely dark and all that could help
him to find what would relieve him
would be that lone, remaining match.
Suppose burglars entered the house
and he were lying in the dark and
hearing them helping themselves in
wholesale fashion to all that he owned.
That solitary match would be his only
means of finding and using the weap-
ons of self-protection. His whole safe
ty and peace of mind were contained
in that tiny single match, and worse,
more horrible than all, what If the
match itself were not good. In the
panic of sudden illness or of house
breaking he might strike the isolated
match only to learn, alas, that it was
not good, that it was one of the un-
filled assurances that human nature
is all to wont to pin its faith to. 1t
might prove to be match in seeming
but not in fact. Its sulphur end might
have got damp and worthless and the
most desperate scraping with it might
enkindle only disappointment. The
suspense induced by such thought
was not to be borne. The truth must
be ascertained. The value of the
match must be found out by actual
test, to provide perfectly against sud-
den sickness or burglars. So he struck
the match and he found that it was
good and how did he feel after that?

KITCHEN KINKS.

When a cup of strong tea is re-
quired, instead of putting an extra
spoonful into the pot, add a spoonful
Of sugar. This opens the leaves of
the tea and makes the tea stronger.
A mixture that will remove grease
from the finest fabrics is made of
one quart of rain water, two ounces
of ammonia, one teaspoonful of salt
petre and one ounce of shaving soap
cut up very fine.
If at any time you have gathered
finger or poisoned hand, take cab
bage leaf, roll it out with bottle
until the juice comes, and tie it on
the affected part. This will draw and
cleanse it far better than a poultice.
One of the quickest known ways
of dispelling a headache is to give
some of the muscles-those of the
legs, for lnstance-a little hard, sharp
work to do. The reason is obvious.
Muscular exertion f1ushes the parts
engaged in it, and so depletes the
brain. When your head aches take
a stiff walk or short bicycle ride.
To make tough steak tender, put
three tablespoonsful of salad oil and
one tablespoonful of vinegar on a
large fiat dish. Lay the steak in the
mixture and let it rest in this way
for half an hour. Then turn it over
and let it rest another half hour in
the same quantity Of vinegar and oil.
The toughest steak will yield to this
treatment and be nice and tender
when served.

FABRICS OF THE PAST
THE FABRICS OF TODAY
VELOURS AND RATINE WITH PLUSH-LIKE Pill E.
FOR DAYTIME WEAR
BRoCADES FOR EVENING GOWNS.

New York, Nov. 12.-There are far
less new fabrics upon the market this
season than last. The variety, how
ever. does not seem to be lessened,
for it merely means that instead of
the new we have gone back to many
of the fabrics which have been con.
sidered passe for many seasons.
Velour de LANES and ratine are re.
cent novelties which have held their
own. This year they have become
thicker and the pile of the velour de
laine is heavier, making it seem almost
plush like.
Broadcloth is another fabric that has
renewed vogue this year, and many
suits and costumes are to be seen of it.
The chiffon broadcloth, which is light
weight in comparison with the other
broadcloth, is used extensively for one
piece dresses. Black, blue, green, beige
and mauve are colors which are espe.
cially attractive in broadcloth.
Faille, once called Ottoman and ben.
galine, is very popular in silk or wool
1t has suppleness and firmness
which make it especially suited to the
one-piece frock. The clothes of the
season are what determines the fab
RIGS and this year the one-piece frocks
and separate coats cause fabrics sup
pie and substantial to be the mode.
There is serge, the standby of dec
ades, gabardine and fabrics which
have a long-haired silky finish called
kittens ear, peau de souris (mouse
skin), and zibeline. Velvet, imitation
mole and Persian lamb cloth complete
a wide variety of the smart fabrics fol
the daylight hours.
The jumper effect in dresses which
is so popular at the present time, adds
another happy way of combining fab
RIGS and colors. In faille silk comes q
long tuniced frock with a pleated lowel
skirt and a jumper basque waist. The
sleeves and underarms of this waist
are of soft silk with Paisley design
A close-fitting little hat with three
perky feathers in the front gives extra
dash to the costume.

CLOTHES IN BAG.

An easy way to keep clothes damp
for ironing is to sew up a bag from
an old-sheet and dip in water and do
not wiring dry. After clothes are
dampened place in bag and tie. Clothes
treated in this way will iron more
easily and stay damp longer than if
placed in basket and covered in the
usual way.
