CoId-Weather Ventilation.

1t is easy enough to ventilate the
house in warm weather. One simply
leaves most of the windows open most
assured by scientists that this method
does not ventilate. We are even told
that the air out of doors is not always
in the closeness of the outdoors atmos-
Portable if we get a good deal Of this
atmosphere into our houses.
With the coming of cold weather
ventilation is a truly difficult matter,
for We cannot leave our windows wide
open. Unless we would walk about
our houses clad in sweaters and he'll
NETS, and unless we would run up stu
pendous coal bills, We must Close our
windows for the sake of comfort.
However, unless our houses are
equipped with a system of artificial
ventiiatlng, open windows form the
best means of ventila ting. It Is, of
we sleep with open windows-one open
al the top, one at the bottom. In this
way we keep our bedrooms we'll aired.
And in the house where the bedrooms
serve only for sleeping rooms the win
dows should be left open as much as
possible during the day. Children,
especially, should sleep in rooms that
have been we'll ventilated throughout
the day.
In the case of stormy weather too
much of the outdoors sometimes comes
INTO the windows, even of our bed
rooms. There are various methods of
Keeping this weather out. In case of
too strong winds, cheesecloth screens
answer the purpose. For these, Just
cover a regular screen frame with
couple of thicknesses of cheesecIoth.
Then put it in place. 1t sits out much
of the wind and also keeps out snow.
Such an emergency screen should be

Quick Cake.

This cake may be made and baked in
twenty minutes. Break the whites Of
two eggs into measuring cup. Fill to
the half mark with butter and pour
in water until the cup is full. Pour
this into the mixing bowl, in which you
have already placed one and one-fourth
cups of flour, sifted, with one tea
spoonful of baking powder and one cup
of sugar. Beat this mixture briskly for
five minutes and bake in small layer
pans. Any filing may be used, but an
excellent one is made of powdered
sugar and whipped cream, favored with

HOMEMADE PRIZES.

Inc season of card parties is with us
again. Not that it ever stops, of course.
but card clubs that SUSPENDED rneef-
| ings In the spring have begun to meet
again. and incidental card parties, too,
are more numerous in winter than in
summer. With these card parties and
club meetings comes the renewed de-
mano for prtzes-prizes expensive and
prizes Inexpensive 1t is really not diff.
hcult to choose an attractive prize If
one can afford to spend SIS or $40 for it,
But when one must keep ones expendi-
ture within small bounds the task is a
harder one
Homemade prizes, if they are well
MADE. give far more value for the
money spent. So the woman who has
clever fingers and a small pocketbook
will do well to think Of various at
tractive gifts that she can make and
give for prizes.
Handkerchiefs are always appre-
ciated if they are daintily made, and
the price of one really nice handker-
ch1ef will pay for linen enough for
three or four. Those with rolled edges
over which tiny crocheted border in
not take long to make. Three different
shades-perhaps blue, lavender and
rose color-can be used, and a set of
three folded in box can be given for
one of the prizes
GOOD homemade candy packed neatly
IN a pretty basket lined with waxed
paper Is another acceptable prize. The
candy must, of course. be really good
to be worth giving.
A workbag is sure to find welcome
One that is really lovely is made from
a piece of hand-printed linen. which is
rather expensive, but which can be
signs that it is worth buying. The
bag. which is about fourteen inches
deep; is sewed to an oval base, made of
cardboard covered with the linen.
There is lining bag, fastened in four
seams to the outside bag, thus making
four pockets. Silk cords are used for
drawstrings. A linen with OYSTER
colored background, printed in rose
and blue. with a blue sateen lining and
blue silk cords, is not only useful, but
beautiful as we'll.
ANY sort of travelling case is useful.
These cases can be made either of silk
or OF linen or of cretonne. Squares of
piue linen bound with white Prussian
binding. with the word shoes embroid-
cred across the center and with long
tape ends at two corners, serve adj.
miraoly to wrap around ones shoes
when ono is travelling. Then there are
the apron toilet holders. These con-
that is held by ribbons or a belt around
the waist. and in the many pockets of
which comb and brush, toothbrush.
hairpins, handkerchiefs, toilet powder
and a dozen other accessories can be
kept-when in use suspended from the
belt, when not in use wrapped snugIv
in the apron and slowed awav in he
bag.

Dress Hints.

Georgette crepe is a favored fabric
for blouses which, in spite of the re-
turn of the princess model and the
popularity of one-piece frocks of other
designs, are bought and worn in large
quantities by fashionable women.
Sometimes the net or tulle with
which the bodice of an evening frock
is draped ends in a big sash bow at
the back.
Metal banding is one of the fash
ionable trimmings for evening frocks,
and spangled tulle and lace are also
much used.
Patent leather belts are used with
serge and gabardine frocks.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, October 25.-Callot has
sent a remarkably attractive gown, to
my way of thinking. 1t is not for
every figure. but few gowns are. 1t
needs slender hips to carry it off, and
shoulders that have not accumulated
much flesh above the blades and over
that annoying and protruding bone at
the base of the neck that is necessary
to our skeleton, but surely not to our
clothes
There is tendency on the part of
our older women to acquire flesh
around the arms, and there is not near
ly enough done to eradicate it or to
evade it. Women and men have grow.
comfortably well-to-do by helping Us
to eradicate any surplus from the
waist and hips, but it is time women
took hold of the shoulders. Flesh
there is distressing. 1t makes the
best gown unbecoming. 1t does not
accommodate itself to the tight or the
loose blouse: it bulges through trans
parent fabric and makes itself known
through opaque fabric. There is only
one thing to do with it; get rid of it.
The Return of the Cape.
The slim bodice, the fitted lines over
the figure above the waist, the high
collar. the long sleeve, are each parts
of the so-called directoire fashions,
although they were worn before and
after that period of French history.
The double and triple cape is a timely
accessory to them, and the designers
knew that it would be the next card
to play in the game of creating clothes.
During the spring some of the capes
were worn, but not in the proper cut
and style; they were merely shoulder
capes and were more Victorian than
Girondin or directoire. The new ones
that are slowly appearing are definite
are returning, period that evidently

Keep the Cruets Clean.

Everybody knows how difficult It is to
clean cruets and decanters that become
discolored and stained. This is good
way to clean them. Roll up In small
pieces some soft brown or blotting paper;
wet them and soap them well Put them
into the decanters about one-quarter full
Of warm water; shake them well for
few moments. then rinse with clear. cold
water: wipe the outside with a nice dry
cloth. put the decante-s to drain, and
when dry they will be almost as bright
as new ores.
