OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep yonr
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food, tonic and a medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism aud
avoid sickness. No alcohol In Scott's.

suits is shown in the picture. The
skirt is full and plated and reaches
to the shoe tops. 1t is made of a
plain, light weight, silky plush with
an overdrapery of a striped plush of
the same color. The stripe is made
by a difference in the direction Of the
pile and not by a difference in color.
The coat is the regulation Russian
model b%uttoning to the side. 1t Is
worn with a belt of patent leather.
In the management of the collar
and cuffs the designer has introduced
an individual touch. A narrow 'V"
shaped collar is attached to the blouse
apparently by high buttons. 1t sup
ports a wide turnover about the sides
and back.
The wide ~turned-back cuffs slope
outward and the edges are curved for
ward. A row of buttons finishes each
of them.
The long sash ends of self fabric
which appear on many of the new
gowns merit much consideration. Be-
sides their pleasing novelty they are
graceful and give opportunity for very
effective decoration which adds much
to the finish of a frock or suit.

SIMPLE PUDDINGS THE BEST
Housekeepers Are Coming to Appre.
ciate the Merits of Dishes That
Are Plain and inexpensive.

The American h~ousekeeper is learn.
ing to appreciate the value of simple
puddings. She finds them much less
expensive and more wholesome for
the daily menu than rich creams and
other elaborate desserts.
Puddings of rice and macaroni are
easily made and inexpensive. Rice is
a valuable item in the daily dietary
and a pleasant n if properly cooked.
Ordinary rice buildings should never
be made with eggs; the addition of
eggs turns the pudding into a custard,
and as a rice pudding needs such long
cooking the custard becomes hardened.
Rice needs slow cooking for two and
a half to three hours. Adding milk
is an improvement and makes the
pudding more nourishing.
Skim milk is often used for
these buildings. but in this case suet
or a good piece of butter should be
put in, as when the cream has been
taken from the milk it loses in fat and
nourishment, though it retains much
of its strengthening properties. Small
er grains, such as semolina, fine sage
and ground rice will cook in a much
shorter time than rice-about IL min
utes will do. Large sage or tapioca
takes about 20 minutes.
A good recipe for rice pudding is:
Four cupfuls milk, one-third cupful
rice. one-half cupful seeded raisins If
desired, one-third cupful sugar, one
half te%aspoonful salt. Mix ingredi-
ents in a baking dish and cook in a
very slow over for four or five hours.
1t will be necessary to stir occasion
ally to prevent rice and raisins from
are not used some flavoring should be
added.

The most attractive of the new
gowns already displayed for the COM
ing winter, are characterized by the
long straight lines that belong to the
semiftting princess, and by the in
s~piraCion of the Russian blouse. Com
binations of two materials in the same
gown are worked out in one-piece
frocks made of cloth and silk, or cloth
and velvet. Buttons and braids and
sashes of the same fabrics as the
gown appear with such frequency that
they are assured a place in the COM
ing seasons fashions.
In suits there are numbers of Sc
verely plain and perfectly tailored de-
signs, the coats semiitting, with the
skirt portion showing a ripple or full
flare. Dark cloths are chosen for
these. The skirts, while amply full,
are not decidedly flaring but they are
decidedly short.
The Russian idea is developed with
fine success in the various pile fabrics
used for dressier suits. Many novel
ties in the light weight pushes and
fur cloths, as well as plain velvet
promise much for the popularity oil
this style.
One of the h~andsomest of these

Two out of many beautiful specimens
in footwear for fall are pictured here.
They are combinations of cloth and
leather in high boots for street wear,
and are among the most conservative
of the new designs. They are trim,
shapely and neat, with everything in
style and finish to recommend them.

contrasting colors are used with up
pers made of cloth and the remainder
of the shoe in dull finish or in patent
kid. But the colors used for tops are
quiet, with various tan and gray shades
predominating. The dark colors which
are correct for tailored gowns are used
in the uppers for shoes to match. Or
for midwinter wear spats like the
tailored gown are to be worn with
black shoes.
Among the fancier shoes are those
