A pretty turban of plush is shown
with broad bow of wide striped rib
bon poised at the back. 1t appears to
be tied over an odd extension of the
crown, covered with the plush. which
supports it and adds an entirely new
feature to the shape. A MORE rib.
bon is used, having dark and light
stripe. There are many color combi-
nations that will be fine for q copy of
this model.
With all this collection of varied
styles and influences striving to make
themselves felt, the opportunity for
the individual who knows what to
choose for her own particular style
was never SO good. In millinery the
display of pleasing hats is creditable
to the many independent designers
who have created them. There is moth
ing startling in the two hats shown
here, and nothing freakish. They rep
resent legitimate types of real mil
linery, with novelty in the handling of
trimmings to further commend them

the small cakes, creamer and sugar
bowl, teaspoons and cups and saucers.
Cups may be had that are artistic
and shapely from ten cents to as
many dollars. but the tea tastes as
well from the ten-cent one and If one
is broken, your heart is not. Tea is
served at four o'clock so that it does
not interfere with the six o'clock din
ner and is not a meal in any sense.
The correct way of preparing tea
is to take the freshly drawn water at
the first boil, scald the teapot, then
add tea teaspoonful for each person
and one for the pot; cover with the
water, then let stand five minutes, add
enough water to serve, allow it to
stand minute then pour.
If you desire to make the tea with
a tea ball it may then be served of
required strength to suit the individ-
ual taste. A pretty pitcher of hot wa
ter is another requisite, as we'll as a
bowl to empty the tea for a fresh
cup. Tea served in moderate GUAM
tity. not too strong, is a fatigue re-
mover as well as nerve soother.
Serve cream rather than milk as it
makes great difference in the flavor.
Those who enjoy Russian tea with
the lemon will take a Glove or two. A
pretty way to add flavor as we'll as
sugar is to rub the cubes of sugar
over orange or lemon rinds to absorb
the volatile oils.

er. The dining room should open d.
rectly into the kitchen or pantry be-
tween so that the shortest possible
routing would be accomplished In
serving meal.
Windows should be plentiful and SO
placed that plenty of light and ven
tilation could be obtained. Artificial
light should be planned to fall where
It is most needed, over sink and stove
and table.
If swing doors are placed between
the kitchen and dining room the kitch-
en- need never be in view when sitting
at the dining table.
The floor should be covered with
linoleum or finished in such way
that scrubbing is unnecessary.
Tables and sink as we'll as stove and
ironing board should be Of the height
to suit the person to use them.
Over the sink shelf with hooks be-
meath to hold all the much-used things
like soap shaker, measuring cups,
dipper, dish mop, and potato masher,
may be easily placed. On top of this
shelf have your scales, small clock,
pretty receptacles for pepper and salt
and the much used condiments.
The best arranged kitchens are
these with plenty of cupboard space
to shut from the dust all utensils that
are not washed twice or three times
day. If the cupboards are not so
close that the dishes may be wiped
and set at once to the shelves have a
small table with casters to move
about. This same table will be in
valuable to have near the stove when
cooking, and should be covered with
zinc. A wheeled tray or tea cart is
another most convenient utensil to
save steps as it can be loaded with
food for the table and remove 1t and
the soiled dishes after the meal, with
but one or two trips.

The Goddess of Fashion appears to
be taking vacation, or perhaps she
has abdicated; at any rate she is is
suing few edicts. We do not hear
thou shalt" or thou shalt not" and
are left to do as we please, with a
world of new designs in hats and
gowns to choose from. They include
many beautiful things.
In the early season there was q
universal vogue for the black velvet
hat. 1t is a becoming thing, this
black velvet hat, but when ninety-nine
out of a hundred women wear it it
becomes monotonous. The demand
has swung away to black hats in
plush and velours and to the dark col
ors that look so well with the metal
trimmings and handsome furs and
feathers.
Two hats are pictured here which
are SO good in shape and in design
and in every particular that they may
be chosen with the comforting con-
viction that there is nothing better
One is moderately wide-brimmed
model, with lines lifting a little at the
front and little more at the back.
Its small. round crown is concealed by
three soft half-plumes mounted over
it. They are topped by one of those
odd steel ornaments mounted on a
stem. which look like nothing on the
earth or in the air above it. Perhaps
this is part of their fascination.
A hat of this kind must be devel-
oped in materials of excellent quality
and will be beautiful in dark-colored
velvet with plumes in shades of the
same color, or in black.

Salmon Thrive In Maine.

Success has been met by the bu-
reau of fisheries in establishing hump
back salmon on the Maine coast, &C
cording to reports from that terri
tory. The fish were planted in Febru-
airy, 1914. Many fish weighing five
to seven and half pounds have been
taken or seen in Penobscot river, Me-,
and twenty were captured alive by
agents of the bureau near Bangor and
held In an effort to obtain ripe eggs.
From two of these fish 5000 eggs were
taken September 6, and, after fertili-
cation, sent to the Craig Brook hatch
cry for incubation. Local fishermen
caught and ate large numbers, and an
employee of the Green Lake hatchery
took fifteen fish last week. These had
passed through the fishways in dams
in Dennys river and were dropping
down stream in spent condition; at
the same time both live and dead fish
were observed below the dams.

quart of milk and a pinch OF salt.
Cook the custards and on top OF each
place two spoonfuls of the fig mixture,
cover with a meringue or whipped
cream and serve cold.
Chopped dates and figs, mixed with
chopped nuts and little cream to
make it of spreading consistency is
fine for sandwich filling. Dates on top
of coffee cake, with raisins, makes a
most dainty and wholesome breakfast
dish.
Fig Loaf Cake.-Take two cupfuls OF
chopped figs, two cupfuls of sugar, a
half cupful of butter. a cupful of milk,
four cupfuls of -four, four eggs, three
teaspoonfuls of baking powder. mix as

quart of milk, when soft run through
sieve and add one egg well beaten,
Ia pinch of salt, and pour into the
baked she'll. Cover with whipped
cream and serve cold.
Dates and figs added to a simple
apple and celery salad add much of
richness and flavor to it. Stuffed
dates may be made with fondant for
filling or cream cheese. Figs stewed
in water and lemon juice with little
sugar make a most delicious sauce to
serve on ice cream. In fact these
fruits can hardly be out of place. they
are so well liked.

cite crepe, and chiffon, as we'll as the
metal gauzes, suggest themselves for
more fanciful boleros. Fine laces run

will make lovely little jackets and add
new finery by way of variety to the
evening or afternoon gown or to the
dance frock.
Even an amateur or beginner in
needlework ought to have no trouble
in making one of these fascinating ac-
cessories of dress. There are only
two seams to sew at each side, the
shoulder and underarm seam. They
are so short that it will not tax the
patience to fell them by hand. Hand
work is to be recommended for all
these small garments and is impera-

friend, the little bolero presents few
difficulties and many charms.

All at once a liking for little
boleros is making itself felt in the
speciality shops that deal in waists,
and in the departments Of the stores
that deal in everything women want
or imagine they want. And the sup
ply of small Jackets that has sprung
into evidence includes those made of
lace, of net, of sheer fabrics, of silk
and of yarns.
A little jacket Of batiste is shown
in the picture. 1t is designed to be
worn over a light-colored evening
gown or afternoon gown, but for the
purpose of bringing out the pattern it
