Wide Skirt Has Arrived.
JULIA ~BorToMLEY.

'The wide skirt has arrived" says a
fashion authority. "It started with the
short, f1aring minaret tunic. From
there it heightened and expanded into
the long, full Russian overskirt. Here
it ruled supreme for some time, but
at last the final drop came, and sud-
denly, too, and its end is the three and
a half yard round-the-bottom skirt. The
circular skirt hanging in quaint godet
ruffies is a rival Of the new plated
skirt, and Paris favors both as smart
autumn styles. The long coat which
flares eve more than the skirt be-
meath is the suit coat of the hour.
while the basque which clings to the
figure has taken the place of the bag
gy kimono blouse. It has brought
with it the high collar and the higher
ruche, which flares. 1t is interesting
to note that we are to flare both at
the neck and at the feet this winter"

We wear short skirts, boomers and
leggings and are prepared to tramp the

paths. But hunting and fishing and
tramping in the alluring out-of-doors
is not simply a pose with the Amer
lean sportswoman; she really hunts
some, fishes considerably, and tramps
much.
The Jacket in the model pictured is
ideal. Made of checked tweed in
shades of brown, it is roomy enough
for freedom and snug enough for COM
fort, and is not ~ungraceful. The back
is plain, with the fronts fulled in a
little above the belt. The sleeves, of
the plain c~oat-sleeve variety, are
finished with a pointed cuff on the up

Jacket at the top. fastening on the
shoulder, and a plain turnover collar

No n can fathom the idea of the
designer In making, to go with so
practical a jacket, a skirt so entirely
unsuited to hunting, The proper skirt
is to be cut much shorter, extending
not below the calf of the leg, or at
most to the top of high hunting shoes.
1t is to fit smoothly about the waist and
hips and flare toward the bottom. 1t

stitched hem and provided with a few
weights. Skirts of this kind are worn

the plainest of soft shirtwaists, in

The cap is a very good model, with
a vizor of which there is only a
glimpse in the picture. Such caps are
made of v~elours, chinchilla. velveteenss
tweeds and similar fabrics, and it
would be hard to improve on this one.
1t is comfortable and becoming. For
the crisp and glorious days of Indian
summer and the light SHOWS of De-
cember the real sportswoman can
equip herself to be entirely comfort

PROPER USE OF WASTE FATS
saved From Any Kind Of Meat They
Are Valued by the Economical
Housewife.

Have you ever noticed how enticing
sweet potatoes are when served with
Maryland pork and beans? Somehow
the pork greases make them seem
more like a dessert than a plain vege.
table.
Neither cream, lard, butter, nor
beef can take the place of pork fat
for sweet potatoes. Pork fat also
gives a tang to beets, parsnips and
carrots which cannot be duplicated in
any other way.
The waste fat from beef makes a
better cake, a better pie crust and
better candies than the highest priced
butter. Cookies, buildings and cakes
have a savoriness so enticing when
made of beef drippings that not even
the most delinquent appetite can cay
them nay.
The fats. oils and greases. from
lamb or veal all lend themselves TO
the economical housewife as a great
Improvement over costly buffers and
cheap lards for frying, broiling and
preparing food in all sorts of other
ways. One part Of these fats will
give a happier flavor to fish, beans,
carrots and peas than ten times as
much butter. Indeed. a spoonful of it
will do the work of a whole pound of
butter.
Then there are the CRUDE so
called by the Jewish cooks who re-
nov the fat and grease from geese
and fry it with the goose flesh into
crisp, brittle fiat cakes. Tue grease
from the geese and other fowl is wide
ly used in Jewish homes. Some stu
dents think it's use has much to do
with the relative absence of wasting
distempers among the people of this
ancient nation.

IF YOU are casting about for ineXpen-
i sive Christmas gifts there is hardly
anything that makes as good a show
ing, for the smallest outlay, as the
little serving apron. OF course these
small bits of dainty apparel may be
made of fine materials, trimmed with
the more costly lingerie laces, and
elaborated into expensive affairs, but
these will not be any more pleasing
than palmer aprons which are equally
dainty and are made of inexpensive
cotton fabrics trimmed with sheer en-
b~roideries or the cheaper laces.

fabrics that cost little has placed a

There is a saving in buying enough

CANNING Hint.

A vegetable soup is one Of the best
canned helps to the housekeeper. Cut
into small pieces some tomatoes,
onions, parsley. carrots. sweet pep
pers, okra, etc. Stew together until
Thoroughly done. To each pint jar add
half a teaspoonful of salt. Flavor with
celery. These soup vegetables are So
delicious that just the addition of
boiling water makes a very palatable
soup. Two large teaspoonfuls Of beet
extract to a quart of boiling water and

a delicious soup.

Goethe Not Always "CoId as ar
immortal"
Could Be Solemn and Dignifed, but
Was Possessed Of a Mad Spirit
of Fun Which Bubbed Up at
Odd Times.

Goethe was credited by a certain
American writer with having some
thing OF the calm and something OF the
GOODNESS Of the imm0rtaIs," but On oc-
caSion he was filled with the "ioy of
living, that irresponsible eruption Of
energy and high spirits to which the
creative mind ought to be especially
susceptible.
Soon after Goethe had written
"Werther, one, Gleim came to Weimar
and wished to know him. How this
came about is best told in GIeim's
own words:
Il had brought with me the last
Musenalmanach,' a literary novelty,
and read here and there an article to
the company in which | passed the

young man, booted and spurred, in a

open, came in and mingled with the
audience.

and listened attentively. | scarcely
knew what there was about him that
particularly struck ne, except a pair
OF brilliant black Italian eyes. But it
was decreed that should know more

During short pause, during which
some gentlemen and ladies were dis
cussing the merits Of the pieces 1 had
read, lauding some and censuring 9TH
ers, the gallant young sportsman (for
such / took him to be) rose from his
chair, and bowling with most courte-

I could do no less than accept SO
polite an offer, and Immediately hand

all the DIuses-not forgetting the
GTaces-,what was l then to hear!
AT first, indeed, things went
smoothly enough--the somewhat more
solid, substantial fare of Voss, Stol.

a manner that no one had any reason
to complain, All at once, however, it
was as ii some wild and wanton spirit

He read poems that had no exist
enee in the 'Almanach, and broke out
into all possible modes and dialects.
Hexameters, iambics, doggerel verses
one after another, or blended in a
strange confusion, came tumbling out
in torrents.
What wild and humorous fancies
did he not combine that evening!
Amidst them came out such noble
thoughts, thrown in detached and fit,
ting, that the authors to whom he
ascribed them must have thanked God
on their knees if they had fallen ON
