How to Carve a Turkey.

Some are born carvers, some-after
painful effort-achieve carving. and
some-unfortunate few-have carving
! thrust upon them In order to become
skillful in the art it is of the first i'm
portance to have a sharp knife.
Danied Webster, SO the story goes.
once undertook to carve the turkey at
an old-fashioned New England Thanks
giving dinner. The knife was dull as
the traditional hoe, and the bird proved
refractory. giving the great man more
trouble than one of his celebrated cam
paign speeches. Finally, after an es-
pecialIy desperate effort to cut through
the hide of the troublesome fowl, the
knife slipped, and the bird turned a
complete somersault and landed in the
lap of lady who sat next the famous
man. But even after this effort Mr..
Webster never turned hair.
/ Madame, I'll trouble you for that
turkey" said he, and went at the strug-
gle again with might and main.
But We are not all born with the
aplomb of the great orator, so it is as
well to take the precaution to have
the knife sharp.
on platter large enough to hold the
different joints as they are carved. 1t
should be placed the table with
the breast to the left of the carver.
VINO commences DY nrSt
getting firm grip on the fowl by
sticking the carving fork deep down
through the upper part of the breast
bone. Now, holding the fork securely
in the left hand. take the knife in the
right and remove the legs and the sec
ond joint by passing the knife around
the joint next the body. then take off
the wings in the same manner, and
disjoint them, cutting through the liga-
ments.
Before carving more from the turkey
1t is well to separate the leg and cut
it into two pieces. After this the breast
of the turkey can be carved in thin,
delicate slices. with the knife held fiat
against the breastbone and faced away
from the carver. Then the point of the
knife can be inserted under the wish
bone. and it can be lifted, pressed back
ward and removed.
Good carvers now turn the turkey
slightly, and without removing the
carving fork cut the shoulder blades
from the. under side of the carcass
Each "helping" should contain a piece
of both white and dark meat and a
generous spoonful of dressing

MANY SHADES OF GREEN ARE WORN.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, November 1S.-Green
was promised us early last summer as
fashionable color, but it did not ma
terialize. Early in the autumn many
suits We're brought over from France
that had been dyed an adorable green,
something indefinite. yelled, reminding
one of London trees in late spring with
a London mist rising over them.
There were also evening wraps in
vivid green, the kind that blazes un-
ashamed against a MONDAY sun, but
in the street clothes the tones were all
subdued At first women were not dis
posed to take them up. They clung to
dark blue, to black. to the neutral
shade of tan and beige that was in
high fashion early last winter. But as
the season wore on green was more
and more liked, until now one will
see the color on the most conservative
of women
Cheruit especially liked the new
tones. She made plain coats and skirts
of it, as well as long redingotes that
nearly covered the one-piece frock be-
meath. One of these is sketched today.
| 1t is in velour, with belt of suede, edged
with narrow strips of brown fur.
The collar is essentially the Kind
that Cheruit Mixes, with it's great height
at back, naring away from the chin.
This house featured these collars be-
fore they were even thought of by the
other designers, and when all the
world was wearing fiat. open necks, it
brought out the collars reminiscent of
the Girondists, AS the weeks wore on
the high, rolling collar crept into the
general fashions. and from it was
evolved the coachman's neckpiece and
host of other styles that have given
change and charm to the coats.
The coat shown in the sketch was
Worn over a deep beige ribbed silk
skirt which was considerably narrower
and guiltless of trimming. 1t had a
slim, fitted bodice fastened down the
side of the back, which is one of the
innovations of the season. 1t has
high collar and small chemisette of
white organdy. also fastened up the
side with tiny lace buttons.
1t seems to be the fashion of the
hour to put buttons where they do not
belong. Ii one can find a way to fasten
/: frock a coat in an original man
ner. then that fashion is speedily
adopted. Coats. for instance. fasten
with large buttons down the left side
near the arm, at the back, starting at
the top of the high collar. That is
queer, you know.

OF all wraps for the winter nothing
is quite so generally. practical as the
raglan coat, for the reason that it is
loose, comfortable and is long enough
to protect the dress.
This illustration of raglan is equal
ly suitable for morning. afternoon or
evening wrap. The advantage in max
ing it up for evening wear lies in the
fact that there is no heavy armhole
seam over the shoulder to crush the
delicate fabric beneath. This design is
built for morning wear, and may be
made up of tweed, cheviot, corduroy or
any heavy wool mixtures adapted to
morning wear. 1t will be found that
plaids are more popular this winter
than any other pattern of goods. and
these are particularly fashionable in
self tones.

Purple tulle ruffs are very smart with
any of the dark colors in frocks.
Often an artificial flower is worn on
the ruff, as it was last year. 1t pro-
vides very satisfactory way Of Civ
ing the needed touch of color.
To begin with. there are some very
smart collars of ostrich Black and
white are often combined in these. and
so are blue and white and brown and
White. Some are made in the regula-
non way. but some are made with a
couble frill of long fronds with q fold
OF stif ribbon through the center The
ribbon is formed into a big bow at the
side.
The fur and velvet rufrs are lovely
Tor afternoon Cerise. various shades
OF blue and brown in many tones are
used, with every sort of fur. Perhaps
skunk, seal and beaver are the favor
ite furs for use with velvet. Usually
the ends of these little combinations
OF fur and velvet are long and pointed
and are tied smartly close about the
neck. The fur is used in narrow band;
for trimming.
Perhaps the prettiest of all for after
noon wear are the .tulle rufrs These
are especially attractive with frocks OF
silk or crepe. They are made in dozens
or diherent styles Some of them are
tight, high. little choker collars, with
a haring piece of lace at the back
Some of them are made of tulle cut in
oeep points. with a picot edge. Some
show the tulle laid in box pleats. Most
of them have ribbon folded through the

der the left ear. with stiff ends. not

hues appear in plaids for wraps than
in those for dress wear. No matter
what kind of coat you build, the lining

a bright design of flowers or birds or

ground.
In building this coat it is quite pos

Government Extends Protection To

Warning!-Do not tamper with the

right. In fact. he'll get you to the eX'
tent of $1,000 in cash or three years
in the federal prison, or both.
In the past the protecting influence
of the government has been extended
only to the mail boxes on the street
corners and elsewhere in the cities
and to the boxes on the rural routes
But now there Is a new order in the
Daily Bulletin received at the post
Office which amends the old law to
include all boxes that are approved by
Uncle Sam as conforming with his
