A plain blouse and a dressy one,
both of crepe, are pictured above.
They are representative styles in
blouses made of crepes, which are
equally we'll liked for daily wear and
for dress occasions. Crepe Georgette
is chosen for the rich-looking waist
with handsome lace vest and ermine
bands, while crepe de chine makes the
palmer blouse for ordinary service.
The plain blouse is set on to yoke
which is narrow at the back and ter
inmates at the front, where it is
brought over the shoulder The shoul-
der seams are long and the sleeves
plain and almost straight. They are
set into a plain cuff with overlapping
end. This end is prettily shaped into a
point that is extended and decorated
with a fine embroidered floral spray.
A small buttonhole worked in the
point fastens the cuff over a round
button set on the underside.
The blouse fastens at the front with
small ball buttons. These are usually
white on light-colored crepe. On tans
and grays they are generally made in
bright contrasting colOrs.
The collar is cut high at the back

Foxes will need all their cunning,
and much more, if the demand for
their pelts does not abate. Just now
1t seems that every girl wants to wear
red fox, or white one, coiled about
her neck, and a fox muff in which to
embed her hands. She dimes in airy
gowns, but, having removed a coat,
her graceful fur is retained, not be-
cause the public dining room is cold
but because her furs are becoming,
and fashion allows her to wear them.
White fox is in demand on evening
coats in collars and deep cuffs. Or
very light colors and white coats en-
ploy fox fur dyed blacl long,
soft and rich fur but not so durable
as some others.
Red fox is especially becoming to
auburn-haired, fair-skinned women,
and when brown eyes are added to
these the effect is so good that even
the fox might be reconciled to his
fate, could he foresee it.
One of these natural fox sets is
shown in the picture. The scarf is
held in place by fastening the claws
together. In the muff the head is
used. but tail and claws are omitted.

CHAPTER w.
Down the River,

At Waterloo the two men parted,
with fair exchange of fitting
speeches, none of which rang really
false. And yet Cazalet found himself
smphatically unable to make any plans
at all for the next few days; also, he
seemed in two minds now about a
Jermyn Street hotel previously men-
toned as his immediate destination;
and his step was indubitably lighter as
he went off first of all to the loop-line,
to make sure of some train or other
that he might have to take before the
day was out.
In the event he did not take that
.rain or any other; for the new
miracle Of the new traffic, the new
smell of the horseless streets, and the
newer joys of the newest of new taxi
cabs, all worked together and so swift
Iy upon Cazalet's organism that he
had little colloquy with his smart
young driver instead of paying him in
Jermyn Street. He nearly did pay him
off, and with something more than his
usual impetuosity, as either liar or a
fool with no sense of time or space.
But that's as quick as the train,
my good fellow!" clustered Cazalet.
Quicker" said the smart young fel-
low without dipping his cigarette, 'Hif
you were going by the old Southwest
ern!"
The very man, and especially the
manners that made or marred him,
was entirely new to Cazalet as a
product of the old country. But he
had come from the bush, and he felt

there but for the smell of petrol and

HINTS FOR THE HOME COOK
Advice That Is the Result of Com.
bined Experience of Practical
Housekeepers.

A little grape Juice, beaten egg
white, added to lemonade forms a de.
licious, healthful drink.
Bacon rinds are good boiled with
cabbage, string or soup beans.
Prunes cooked in the oven after
soaking over night, seasoned and
sweetened to taste, are much richer
than if stewed.
Air blowing on bread sponge will
keep it from rising and may spoil it
entirely.
If eggs are boiled in salted water
the shells will peel easily.
A generous pinch of salt added to
flour for thickening, before mixing
with water, tends to keep it from be
ing lumpy.
When roasting a fowl stuff the
breast with pared and cut up sweet
potatoes; the flavor is surprising.
When separating whites and yolks
of eggs a speck of yolk slips into
the white; to remove this easily, dip
a clean cloth into warm water, wiring
dry, touch the speck with the end OF
this and it will cling to it.
Vegetables to be cooked by boiling
should be put into boiling water, as
little as possible, and if the water
is added let it be boiling hot. Steam.
Ing is best for most vegetables.

Modes in Hair DreSsinu,

The modes in hairdressing change
quite as much as the modes in mil
linery or clothes. Indeed we have to
keep modifying our coiffure to suit the
everchanging hat shapes. When the
crowns are high we must needs wear
our knots on top of our heads to fill
in the high crowns. When the fiat
crowned shape prevails it means that
the hair must be slowed away around
the nape of the neck somewhere.
But though hair style changes fire.
quently. this does not mean that we
must follow them blindly and obedi-
emily regardless of how they appear
on US. There is nothing which SO
transfgures a girls face as the right
kind of coiffure

BLEACHING Linen,

The linens of olden days were handed
down from mother to daughter, but
such is far from being the case today
owing to the difference in bleaching
Where formerly it took months OF
sunshine and rain to bring about the
desired whiteness, now it is done in
two or three days by means of strong
mineral gases whose fumes bleach, &C,
cording to their strength, more or less
quickly. So it is not poor idea to
buy linen which is not yet bleached
white, as a few trips to the laundry
will remedy this, and in addition it is
cheaper, for the bleaching process is
a costly one. Then, too, the use Of
tablecloths and sheets would be
heightened, appreciably, since over
bleaching rots the fbers. This is why
blouses seem to melt away in spots.

Rich Bride Cake.

Take four pounds sifted flour, four
pounds of sweet, fresh butter, beaten
to cream, and two pounds of white
powdered sugar. Take six eggs for
each pound of flour, an ounce OF
ground mace or nutmeg and table
spoonful of lemon extract or orange
flower water. A very pretty way in
which to present pieces of this cake
to your guests is to cut out each piece
in the shape of heart, and put on
each separate piece the initial. in
frosting, of each guest to whom the
cake is to be given. Present the cake
in either pink gilt-edged, heart-shaped
boxes, or, if you cannot go to the ex.
pense of having the boxes made, wrap
the pieces in frilled tissue paper, tied
with dainty pink silk baby ribbon.
