For small family tenderloins OF
pork make an economical dish, and
are extremely good stuffed and baked.
One tenderloin should be allowed each
person. Have the butcher split them
for stuffing and fill them with this
dressing:
Crumb about one-fourth Of a loaf of
stale bread and soak the crumbs in a
very little water. Add to the crumbs
one minced onion, one teaspoonful OF
salt, one-fourth Of a teaspoonful OF
pepper. and two teaspoonfuls of pou1-
try seasoning. Bind with one well
beaten egg. Stuff the tenderloins and
secure each one with a small skewer
Bake in a moderate oven for about
thirty minutes. basting them frequent
ly. They should be very tender. When
they are cooked make a brown gravy
with the liquor left in the pan. Pour
the gravy over the tenderloins and
serve.
The meat bill can be kept moderate
by a little care and thought. Do no,
while the prices are SO high buy ex-
pensive cuts Of meat. There are plenty
of good. inexpensive cuts and by the
time you have exhausted their posi-
bility the prices Of the others may have
gone down. Remember that it is the
cooking that makes the dish. The bes
meat is spoiled If it is not cooked cor
rectly and the tougest may be made
palatable with skill and care.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG,

Because the manufacturers have
made for US a beautifully heavy and
lustrous taffeta We are allowed to have
it for fall dress fabric, as well as
summer one. and as it lends itself so
readily to the designs and styles of the
season needless to say we are all glad
of its further lease on life.
These new taffetas resemble some
what a very finely twilled grosgrain,
but have much more body. They are
to be had in all the fashionable
shades, and are being made up extern
sively in street and afternoon cos
tunes.
Here illustrated is a charming cos
tune in royal blue taffeta worn with
fox furs dyed a delicate sulphur color
and jaunty chapeau in blue velvet
with yellow tinged feather fantasies.
The blouse is plain and surpliced
over a tiny vest of white batiste, with
a faring collar and small lapels of
batiste twined back from the V neck.
Long sleeves are set smoothly into ex-
tended armholes and are covered with
a heavily embroidered black silk net,

WHAT GIRLS MAY DO
A Small Experiment Is a Large
Success.
BY JESSIE ROBERTS.


A mother and a daughter I know
had very small income. Out of this,
In the course of several, and then
some, years. they managed to save $40O.
They then looked around for a small
place in the country. finally locating in
Connecticut For their four hundred
they got rough farm of sixty acres
with tumbledown little house on it.
That was three years ago. Now they
have made over their little house into
as attractive a bit Of cottage as you
would like to see. They weren't the
kind to wait till they could have things
done for them-they did them them
selves. They plastered over the walls,
which were full of holes, and then
tinted them. They painted the outside
window and door frames soft green,
which harmonized delightfully."- with
the weatherbeaten gray of the shingled
roof and walls of the building They
painted all the floors. and with the as
sistance of a carpenter turned the
woodshed into a fine little kitchen.
They hung snowy curtains, put I'D
shelves for their books, made corner
cupboards in the living room, and set
flower boxes in the bedroom windows.
Then they turned to the outside They
had fair-sized meadow. and gave a
farmer the hay from this in return for
his digging them small vegetable
garden. This they planted themselves
with the staple vegetables.
Each year they did little more. They
put up nice fence which they painted
green. rebuilt the stone we'll guard,
and this year had the carpenter build
a pretty porch at one side. where they
have hung a hammock and set two

little home now. They raise enough
vegetables to feed them all summer
and can enough to carry them through
the winter. The same with small
fruits. while an old apple tree has been
pruned into good shape and bearing.
Wasn't this worth while?

FAVORED MATERIALS.

In the matter Of materials, velours
and duvetynes are obviously determined
not to be outrivaled by smoother-faced
fabrics At one issue this seemed inev-
table; but the variety and astonishing
attractiveness of the former has enabled
them to maintain firm position. In
their very latest expression checks are
to be observed playing a role. and very
pleasing one into the bargain.
AS can be readily imagined, these
checks are not aggressive. since in pile
material they are necessarily blurred.
Nor is there lacking the customary au-
tumnal efforts to bring in tartans. an ef-
fort that has more likelihood of being
crowned with success than has been the
case for some years. AS goes without
saying, these are slightly diversified tar
tans, since it is the height of bad taste
to adopt the insignia Of a clan OF which
you are not a member.
Kits and Coats.
There are some charming killed skirts
Of plaids over which fall long open tunics
Of plain cloth. The coats destined to ac-
company these skirts are of the utmost
simplicity, and just define the figure
without actually touching it. which de-
waist line is chiefly normal, extremely
deep belts frequently accentuating the
movement, as though to say we will push
this revival home. An extremely wide
and fine silk military braid is among the
things much in request, and, as always.
has a particular affinity with navy serge.

though naturally not every woman's
choice. But it would unquestionably have
had. and may still have. a big success.
From time immemorial the wars Of the
world have Influenced dress. Dress at
such times becomes the outward express
sion Of strong inward convictions Look
back over history, where you like, and
you will find this to be true.
And that is why 80 many Of US have
been interested in the fact Of the part
played by those small eastern states
Jumped together as the Balkans, in the
determining Of fashions We have been

then finished with turned-back white
cuffs.
The ornate net is applied to the bor-
der of the tunic skirt and makes a
very handsome trimming. 1t will be
noticed that the tunic is gathered to a
hip yoke under a self-covered cording,
but the yoke in turn is gathered, too,
and the result is very graceful.
A broad girdle is cut out in square
tabs about the top and along the line
OF fastening. The idea is repeated in
the skirt placket to bring the closing
In perfect alignment.
If desired. the sleeves and lower
portion of the tunic can be made trans
parent by cutting the dress material
from under them. but in that case the
oesign could no longer answer the pur-
poses Of a street costume.

Blue Tulle Hats.

Velvet, of course. was the prevailing
material employed; but dark blue tulle
was chosen by many. and proved won

Restaurant hats. for the little din
were made of wired black lace. and had
almost the effect of an aureole, so
ethereal did they appear.
But the best choice. after all, seemed
the satisfying black velvet. shown with
a variety of new ideas as trimmings
The trimming of hat of this type is
an important consideration. 1t must re-
tain it's simplicity, and keep unbroken
the circular outline around the face,
which is almost universally becoming.
1t must never look overloaded. but
some slight decoration that looks as if
it had grown there is essential.
One idea is a string of frosted white
beads around the crown of a black vel
vet sailor-a dark blue tulle one had
the same trimming in iridescent beads,
like the sheen of coque's feather.
Another hat of the same shade. of
black velvet with a transparent white
lace edge, had a wreath effect of white
marabou feathers around the crown.
Marabou seemed to be in for run
of popularity. 1t has almost the light

Household Hints.

To save the time and trouble of past
ing labels on jelly glasses. insert one end
Of slip of paper with the name Of the
jelly on 1t into the paraf1n on top Of
the jelly while 1t Is still hot. This label
is then in a place where It cannot be
rubbed Off.
To remove smoke marks on walls and
ceilings make paste of starch and
water and spread it on with a piece of
flannel Allow 1t to dry and then dust
1t off with soft brush.
To wash varnish. steep some tea leaves
In water for an hour. then strain them
out and use the liquid for washing the
vanished wood. This decoction is su-
perior to soap and water-it gives the

NEW YORK, October S.-When in

millinery motto for this season. After
all, is there any other hat fabric so
adaptable, so thoroughly satisfying as
black velvet? You may depend upon
it at all seasons of the year, at all
hours of the day.

comes the appropriate headgear OF her

The little Paris midinette wears 1t
pulled down over her ears without any
trimmings at all. The grande dame
poses it upon her exQuisitely dressed
head: and it looks at home in both

PROPER COURSE IN READING
Systematic Selection, With a Purpose
10 About the Only Way to A.
tain Results.


A book, an apple, and blazing FIRE.
What more can the heart Of man de-
sire?"
Pretty near solid comfort isn't IT.
Especially II the fire burns without
smoking. the apple is ripe and Juicy,
and the book Is of the right kind For
the book Is the most important part
Of the combination.
In planning your reading for the
long winter months, 1t is good thing
TO have some definite idea in mind
some particular line along which you
would like to add to your store Of in
formation. 1t may be history, biogra-
ply, science or farming. 1t may be
that you would like to know more
about animals. or bug or birds. If
you take pains to plan your course Of
reading carefully, you may in few
months spare time accomplish great
deal.
Suppose for example, that you are
principally interested in birds. There
are enough books magazines and 9TH
er literature devoted to these pretty
feathered friends 80 that it will be
easy to find material for the whole
winters work on this one subject
OF course you should make notes as
you 60 along. In this way you can
save for future reference any scraps
OF information that you may CLEAN
from the sources at your command,
and you will find, in short time, that
you have accumulated a vast fund
of definite knowledge on the subject.
For convenience you may divide
your notebook into several sections.
under such headings as follows:
1. Glasses of birds 2. Their nests
and nesting-places. 8. Their habits
and food. A. Description and classifi-
cation of common birds. S. Birds
that are rare or extinct. 6. Miscel-
laneous notes and anecdotes.
Any subject may be divided in a
similar style. BY following some
such methods one is enabled to put
knowledge into definite shape, which
helps one to remember and make use
Of vastly more than when it is left
a mere tumble of odds and ends.
One need not-in fact should not
confine reading to only the one CEN
trail subject. Good literature of any
kind should be mixed in for the sake
of variety. Every boy and girl should
acquaint themselves with the great
writer's of prose and poetry, both Of
our own and of former times. The
boy and girl in the country have no
better time for this purpose than the
stormy days and long evenings of win
ter.
