s3I2 fwo-Piece Skirt, a4 to a waist

The long straight tunic is one of the made of founcing and of material with equal success. In the larger view, em- broidered marquisette is arranged over crepe de chine and the upper edge of the tunic 10 finished with little upstanding frill. In the smaller back view, the tunic and skirt are both of chiffon taffeta and women will be quick to see that there are n great many other possibilities. A nounce of lace over silk is not alone handsome, it also converts partly worn gown into a new one. Among reasonable materials are great many embroidered cotton crepes and one of these used for the tunic with the under skirt of plain material would make an exceedingly smart .ffect while the value of the tunic or Iounce of contrasting material to be arranged over the skirt that begins to show signs of wear is apparent at a glance. For treatment of this sort, any pretty harmorizing material can be used iof the founcc SO long as bits of the same Are carried into the blouse as trimming to give the costume idea.
 For the medium size, the skirt will require 3 yds. of material 77, 74< yds. S or A in. wide, with zN yds. of bor- dered material g in. wide or 7X yds. of plain material a7 or 36. IX yds. A in. wide for the tunic. The width of the skirt at the tower edge is I yd. and 27 in.
 The pattern of the skirt 83r7 is cut in sizes from "A to 37 inches waist measure It will be mailed to any address by thc Fashion Department of this paper. or receipt of ten cents.

MEXICAN WAR STORY
 IN PICTURES AT FOX'S

For the Honor of Old Glory,'' or the Stars and Stripes in Mexico, the
 big Mexican war story taken at the front and showing our boys in action. will be shown at Fox's theater today
 only as the added attraction. The four reels are chock full of strife
 and conflict, startling, stupendous,
 soul-stirring and sensational, the plays teem with action and realiza- ton and show clearly the conditions
 as they really exist on the Mexican
 frontier. The story opens showing clearly the atrocities committed by
 the Mexicans on the unfortunate Americans who happen to fall into their power. The report of these tor
 lures having reached the United States government, a regiment is or dered to the frontier. Just before the departure Mexican is introduced to the colonel and makes such a favor able impression upon him that he is induced to enlist with a promise from the colonel of rapid prom otion. It later develops that the Mexican is a
 spy in the employ of the Mexican army and he, realizing that if this is
 found out he will stand but little chance for his life. makes a bold and successful escape. He returns to the Mexicans with a full report of the strength of the Americans and in- duces his general to send decoy
 message to the opposing force, which leave the barricades. unguarded, and receives permission to attack and de- stroy the quarters of the Americans. They descended upon the unguarded quarters and attempt to obliterate all

Household Notes

Peppers are a very good dish if prepared in the following way: Wash. halve and seed the peppers, then run them through tho food chop per. Put little butter In a frying ran. Add the peppers and their juice and half cupful of stock. Simmer until tender.
 ing machine is with plenty of kero- sene. Fill the oil can with 1t and oil carefully every working part that you can reach. Then sew rapidly on some useless piece of material to dis tribute the oil. Then take a cha niois skin and wipe off the surplus oil
 When a small amount of fat is to be clarified, add to cold fat, boiling water. stir vigorously, and set aside to cool. The fat will form a cake on top, which may be easily removed. On the bottom of the cake will be found sediment, which may be scraped off with a knife.
 Fried bread is a good dish now and then, and an excellent way to use the dry prices of bread, Dip the bread first in milk, then in beaten egg, and put in hot pan, into which little good fat has been put. Fry first on one side and then on the other until a golden brown. Fried bread should be served immediately after cooking.
 It is always best to plant the gar den in long rows. Cultivate after a rain. Do not water the garden in dry weather; 1t will do more harm than good. Never use fresh, coarse ma nure. Keep vegetab ables in health and free from insects by rotation. Never allow the ground to become baked. Cultivate; this will conserve the mois- ture, but when the ground is dry the teeth of the cultivator should not run deep.
 All pieces of bread should be saved and utilized. The larger pieces will make good toast and the smaller ones will roll into crumbs. It is a good idea to place near the stove or on top of the warming oven a covered dish, and into this dish put every small scrap of bread: when you have collected enough. roll them and put them into a fruit jar; tie over the top of the fruit jar a piece of cheese cloth. This will keep out the dust and prevent the crumbs becoming musty.

ANOTHER TYPE OF SHORT JACKET
 HAS COME INTO STYLE JUST NOW
It Starts Definitely at Shoulder Blades and Falls Regularly
 Into Folds, Widening As They Descend Toward I'E Waistne Where They Terminate.

Tn order to be perfectly sure that the woman who says she IS wearing the very latest thing is telling what she probably believes to be true, get behind her and study the general out line. That view will tell the real story.
 Begin with the jacket. Perhaps 1t will be one of the very short gar ments which somebody solemnly as- sured you a month ago were certain to go out because everybody is wear ing them now" The ones referred to have gone out, but another type, equally short and loose, has come in.
 Fringe-Outlined Jackets.
 Tn various respects it differs from its forerunner. The fulness starts de- finitely at the shoulder blades, and it falls regularly into pair of folds, widening as they descend toward the waistline, below which they terminate.
 A month ago you did not see ball fringe e-outlined, short, unfitted jack cts. Fringe was coming in. but 1t had not appeared in tailormades Now some of the best of the new models carry these trimmings, notab- ly \ one in black satin cloth, the cape-backed jacket of which had long arm eyes behind which are set (to look as though they were attached to an under-bodice) wide topped sleeves, whose lower ends are finished with turned back cuffs in black velvet
 Very practical is the velvet collar brought high against the nape of the neck, where early autumn winds do their deadliest work. and turned back in sharp points under the throat to expose a dainty white lingerie collar.
 In this tailor made the back of the coat proper, which extends well below the hips at the waistline under the fringe e-trimmed cape-jacket. is laid in a single wide box plait. flaring it's entire length Is that anything like the coat of few weeks ago !? And is 1t not easily seen that the c.everest tailor ever born cannot alter a, last seasons model to a semblance of this new one?
 The black satin cloth creation shows fetching phase of the partly box-pleated overskiTt. than which nCLQln& O6tIST U0COlNcS a Sl8Hl figure If the pleats are set at the back. Thus placed they add little flare be- tween hips and ankles, they draw in fulness from where 1t is not needed and they balance the width of the ccat and it's jacket-cape.
 The under dress of this black suit is as .unimportant as that of another very recent model in brown. It's ma terial Is one of those attractive weaves known as ratine. but really a rather heavily ribbed rep.
 Suit Affords Warmth.
 This suit promises to afford warmth In the coldest of weather, for although it's jacket is briief as that of the cape portion of the black satin cloth suit. its overskirt, in two tiers, cov- CTS the figure from waist to ankles. To be sure, the side pleats are shal- low and set far apart; nevertheless the double thickness is present

tracks of their work by placing bombs for the total destruction of the American quarters, but a half-breen who was befriended by the Americans and roundly abused by the Mexican general sees the astounding plot and stamps out the fuses. On the Ameri- cans return to quarters she notifies them of the Mexicans' bold attempt and leads them in brilliant attack upon the Mexicans, who are routed with heavy losses.
 Another feature of note for today is ."The Forces of Evil," three-reel Universal production and is study in hypnotism and weird mystery that is interesting in the extreme. After moons all seats are five cents, and at the evening performances five cents and ten cents.

 Belts Distinguish New Suits. Belts figure more or less promt- nently on the new tailor mades But they are not used to produce any thing like the Russian blouse effect of yesteryears. Rather they serve to indicate the position of the waist line, which daily is growing moro slender and clearly defined.
 In the case of the appealing cloth model shown in garnet-a shade destined to enjoy successful win ter season, albeit it's half-sister, wine color, was a fashion of last autumn a narrow belt in se1f-colored silk braid restraints the very slight full ness of the jacket
