IF YOU are casting about for inexpen-
i sive Christmas gifts there is hardly
anything that makes as good a show
ing, for the smallest outlay, as the
little serving apron. OF course these
small bits of dainty apparel may be
made of fine materials, trimmed with
the more costly lingerie laces, and
elaborated into expensive affairs, but
these will not be any more pleasing
than palmer aprons which are equally
dainty and are made of inexpensive
cotton fabrics trimmed with sheer en-
broideries or the cheaper laces.
The weaving of cotton into exquisite
fabrics that cost little has placed
world of opportunities at the hand of
the needle woman. All the fine cot
ton lawns, plain and printed, dotted
mulls and swiss, plain and printed
voiles, fancy nets and cotton mar
quisette are in line with fancy weaves
to make the frivolous little accessories
of dress and the airy house and party
gowns which women are privileged to
wear Everyone of them is available
for the serving apron and for the
morning cap.
There is a saving in buying enough
material to cut several aprons. and
they may be made of short lengths or
pieces or remnants, because the body
OF the apron is often cut In panels that
are set together with narrow val lace.
Short lengths of embroidery serve for
edgings, because they are put on with
out fullness. A pocket. decked out
with a small bow or rosette, is an
establishment and comes In handy
for the lace-bordered handkerchief
Since it is so much the vogue for
the daughters of the house. little and
big, or for the young hostess, to serve
the guest at tea or luncheon, the
serving apron is sure to be apprecj-

put on in diagonal rows (three in each
row., are allowed it by way of adorn-
ment
No one can fathom the idea of the
designer In making, to go with SO
practical jacket, a skirt so entirely
unsuited to hunting. The proper skirt
is to be cut much shorter, extending
not below the calf of the leg, or at
most to the top of high hunting shoes.
1t is to fit smoothly about the waist and
hips and flare toward the bottom. 1t
should be finished with a machine
stitched hem and provided with few
weights. Skirts of this kind are worn
over dark-colored boomers and with
the plainest of soft shirtwaists, in
brown linen or other strong fabric.
The cap is a very good model, with
a vizor of which there is only a
glimpse in the picture Such caps are
made of velours, chinchilla, velveteenss
tweeds and similar fabrics, and it
would be hard to improve on this one.
1t is comfortable and becoming. For
the crisp and glorious days of Indian
summer and the light SHOWS of De-
cember the real sportswoman can
equip herself to be entirely comfort
able and be conscious of looking well,
too.

A FRENCH idea in hunting garb is
"A shown here which the practical
American may make use of in fashion
ing her own. No American who I'M
dertakes tramping through field and
wood and over hill and valley would
consider following this model exactly.
We wear short skirts, boomers and
leggings and are prepared to tramp the
wild. not always following beaten
paths. But hunting and fishing and
tramping in the alluring out-of-doors
is not simply pose with the Amer
lean sportswoman; she really hunts
some, fishes considerably, and tramps
much.
The Jacket In the model pictured is
ideal. Made of checked tweed in
shades of brown, it is rocmy enough
for freedom and snug enough for COM
fort, and is not ungraceful. The back
is plain, with the fronts fulled in a
little above the belt. The sleeves, OF
the plain coat-sleeve variety, are
finished with pointed cuff on the up
per side. The yoke overlaps the
jacket at the top, fastening on the
shoulder, and plain turnover collar
finishes the neck.
Plain machine stitching finishes all
edges. The jacket fastens with snap
fasteners, and small metal buttons,

PROPER USE OF WASTE FATS
oavod From Any Kind OF Meat They
Are Valued by the Economical
Housewife.

Have you ever noticed how enticing
sweet potatoes are when served with
Maryland pork and beans? Somehow
the pork greases make them seem
more like a dessert than a plain vege-
table.
Neither cream, lard, butter, nor
beef can take the place of pork fat
for sweet potatoes. Pork fat also
gives tang to beets. parsnips and
carrots which cannot be duplicated in
any other way.
The waste fat from beef makes a
better cake, better pie crust and
better candies than the highest priced
butter. Cookies, buildings and cakes
have savoriness so enticing when
made Of beef drippings that not even
the most delinquent appetite can cay
them nay.
The fats, oils and greases from
lamb or veal all lend themselves TO
the economical housewife as a great
improvement over costly buffers and
cheap lards for frying, broiling and
preparing food in all sorts of other
ways One part of these fats will
give happier flavor to fish, beans,
carrots and peas than ten times as
much butter. Indeed spoonful Of 1t
will do the work of whole pound of
butter.
Then there are the "grube," so
called by the Jewish cooks who re-
move the fat and grease from geese
and fry 1t with the goose flesh into
crisp, brittle fiat cakes. The grease
from the geese and other fowl is wide
ly used in Jewish homes. Some stu
dents think its use has much to do
with the relative absence of wasting
distempers among the people of this
ancient nation.

Gamma Hint.

A vegetable soup is one of the best
canned helps to the housekeeper. Cut
into small pieces some tomatoes
onions, parsley, carrots, sweet pep
pers, okra, etc. Stew together until
Thoroughly done. To each pint jar add
half teaspoonful of salt. Flavor with
celery. These soup vegetables are Sc
delicious that just the addition OF
boiling water makes very palatable
soup. Two large teaspoonfuls of beef
extract to a quart of boiling water and
a jar OF the canned vegetables make
= delicious soup.

Fur Canes and R,r6s

Fur trimmings are strong feature
of women's dress this season and
therefore it is to be expected that fur
should prove a big item in the wom-
ems neckwear field, according to the
Dry Goods Economist. Cape collars
of fur finished with standing ruches
are feature, as also are maline rufus
with flu band in the back.
Some of the more elaborate novel
ties designed as foundations for eve
ming dresses show trimmings of fur,
combined with smart opalescent span
giles and beads.

A GRAVE MISTAKE

The new year has been ushered in with most gratifying reports OF
improved business conditions. Railroads are handling more freight and
ordering new equipment, the steel trade is revving, retail business I'M
provement is noted in all sections and easier credit conditions exist
everywhere.
1t is a significant fact that in their trade reviews of 1914 neither
Dun or Bradstreet refer to the tariff as affecting adversely business con-
dkons Of the past year. Both OF these great commercial organizations
emphasize the European a as the cause OF the worldwide collapse OF
trade. Duns Review says in this regard: Since the beginning OF the
modern system Of credits in the middle OF the sevnteenth century there
has been nothing approaching in violence and extent the overwhelming
CONFUSION of the market in 1914 as the result OF the sudden outbreak
OF the European war. The United States, although a neutral country,
suffered almost as much in a business way as the nations actually en-
gagged in the conflict"
OF course, Dun and Bradsueet are all wrong o this. Almost any
Republican newspaper or spe1Tbnder will tell you that the wal had
little or nothing to do with it, and the Democratic tariff caused all the
trouble. But isn't it strange that both of these commercial agencies
neither OF which "a be accused OF being Democratic, should make such
a mistake?

gestion is offered: Carson City as a community has done nothing yet
to aid the stricken Belgians. Let the Inaugural Ball serve two purposes

the sea. This ca be done very easily and no one will feel the expense.
In the talks that have been made anent the ball 1t has been suggested
that the price Of admission to the dance and the banquet that follows
b. placed somewhere around So This, OF course, provides for
eats and drinks be of commonplace quality and served to the paruci-
pants Of the affair at the various hotels in the city at a price say of 50
or Is cents a head, all to be included in the price of the ticket Keeping
the expense down in this manner will leave a nice balance, and, in line
with Governor Boy1es personal plea in yesterdays Appeal, do a lot Of
good for the unfortunate Belgians.
By all means let the ball go on, but make it an affair that will re-
fleet lasting credit m the community.
