A Defense of Hoopskirts
E&*s@a%s%&s4+4+s*s@f%s%4@4a

eeVEARS ago, when hoops went out
 of style. the last was as small as could be worn, the place of the slender wires being taken, for perhaps ten inches in front. by tapes one and three fourths inches broad. Dresses were a comfortable width, and the hoop took the place of starched skirts This is the testimony of an old fashioned lady who would like to see them return. She continues:
 "The ironing of many starched skirts was avoided; also their unhealthy weight For those who worked in hot In a high wind the hoop prevented the the ankles, and any unprejudiced ob- much more modest and becoming than the very tight or very full skirt. If the gay and giddy prefer a dress which 'cIings' or pillows a multitude would bless the manufactures who would make 8 hoopslzfrt such as have c. scribed. If elastic, not too stiff, should take the place of tapes, it might be an improvement, but 8 small hoopskirt, MT. Modiste. do let us have.''
 Our illustrated twentieth century hoopskirt is of net, elastic bands and featherboning. It is especially de- signed to wear under the new fluffy skirts which stand out in the most bouffant fashion Gathered net is cleverly arranged over the feather boning, so that it can be slipped out when the skirt is laundered. This new

 The new chemisettes for autumn wear are ''chol1ered." often buttoned il the back and frequently hand am broidered. especially those made of or gandie.
 Neckwear of this sort will be broadly demanded this season for wear V7itn all sorts of froclzs. suits and gowns. lf for no other reason than a protection to the neck from dye discoIora-tion which sometimes occur when furs are worn. these chOlSer collar chemisettes will be acceptable.
 French dressmakers as well as American, are using these collars made of lace, net, batiste or orsandie and duplicating the styles in rich silk faines, damasks and old satins for Wefr with suits and one piece dresses

risk of nightmare. the sheet must fol- low suit and the bedspread conform to the general scheme. Of course it fol- lows that no one with sense of the fitness of things would pair a towel powdered with a snowflake pattern with another decorated with a chaste border of humming birds.
 A similar unity of thought must be preserved inN the table linen There are those who prefer to eat off a cloth checked with the familiar blue and white of the kitchen duster, with nap
 kins en suite and orange tableware as an additional hllip for a disordered di- .gestion. A more numerous class pre- fer the less sensationals cloth of white idamask, but here, too. the chances of going wrong are infinite. A tablecloth reproducing the Bayeux tapestry may be a beautiful thing in itself. Allied with napkins following the Adam school of decoration it produces dys- pepsia In the napery precision. No wonder the bridegroom is willing to hand over his responsibilities in this matter to the subtle female mind, more capable of grasping the value of the apparently unimportant.

YOUTHS ALLY ACTIVITY

HUMAN life is meant for aotivit.t
 not for likeness. The minute ace tivity ceases mental and physical growth ceases and old age threatena. Inerfia-a polite word for laziness-in- dicates degenerating inactivity. Re- member this the next time you take the street car when you are within walking distance. Remember it when you have a strong inclination to lon around the veranda instead or getting out for game of tennis or a swim. Remember every time you succumb to the temptation not to bestir yourself to any form of activity you give the ..come on" sign to old age And age wastes not a minute in responding to your call.
 There is only one way you can retain youth. It is by activity Think of the men and women you know who have passed the forty. fifty or sixty line and remain youthful Aren't they Euu of activity? And then think of the men and women of the same age who are old in body and mindI Aren't they the folk who prefer to sit and Iou about and put or till tomorrow the work of today?
 If you wish to keep young don't let your vigilance over that deadly incl.- nation 10 pc lazy lang AAsLl- 4L AH -- easy not to do. so easy to accept petty personal comforts at the sacrifice of mental stamina and physical hardi- hood. It is so easy to baby ourselves into sIothfulness Of body and mind. Lt is so easy to hypnotize ourselves by clever excuses for inactivity. Perhaps 1t is the rain or the cold or a headache or a tired feeling or little embroidery that isn't at all ecessary-anything at alI so long as it is an excuse,
 If some benefactor comes along and persuades you into some physical a.1- tivity, doesn't your mind take on cheerier outlook as the blood is quick ened through your arteries2
 Knowing from your own experience, therefore, that activity is good for the thoughts, for the emotions and for your health, why sign the death warrant 9f your own youth by inactivityP

crux of the whole technique It is this slow action of heat that works the chemical charm of the iucomparal5le flavor. An asbestos mat over a low flame is safe. but a blue flame that threatens almost to flicker out is surer, for much heat will ruin the delicate flavor. Leave the pan alone for twen- ty minutes. Lest you be tempted to peek in (and let the delicious aroma escape!) go off and read or play the piano. At the end of twenty minutes stir the mushrooms with a silver spoon, so the flour does not catch and with a slightly stronger flame cook them ten more minutes. stirring At the end of half an hour your mushrooms will float in a rich, mahogany colored gravy as near to ambrosfa as mortals come Serve in warm ramelzins with out toast as Sunday night entree for four people

One attrac- tive little silk bag which would har- monize with a frocksof either navy blue or white. was made of white silk. over whose surface appeared flights of blue birds. Bags made of navy blue silk are numerous. and many bags are of all white silk
 There are also novel combinations of leather and silk in bags, as we'll as combinations of leather and silk belts. Charming belts and bags are formed of beautiful brocaded silks with trim mfngs of patent leather in black or white or color.
