OUNCE DAINTIEs.

Ounces have. perhaps. as many en-
emies as they have friends That is,
one either likes or dislikes them with
a good deal of enthusiasm. So if you
belong to a household that really likes
ounces. see to it that a supply of them
is prepared for winter ne. For in so
doing you will be storing up tempting
dainties for all winter long.
Ounce marmalade is one of the best
of the ounce preserves. To make it
slice the impaired ounces, cover with
water and cook until tender. Press
through a sieve and return to stove.
allowing IN pounds of sugar to each
pound of pulp. Cook very carefully
until stiff and pack in small jar.
Candied ounce is as good as candied
orange peel or preserved ginger. to
those who like the ounce flavor. 1t
is not difficult, either, to prepare. Core
and slice the ounces and weigh, using
the same weight of sugar as fruit.
Scald the slices. then boil hard for
eight minutes, remove to a kettle con-
tanning the sugar and a little water,
place all in the oven to melt slowly,
letting them cook until clear and a
deep red. Remove and drain the pieces
and when they are dry lay on plates
with sugar above and below. Let them
stand in a dry place over night, then
| pack away in dry sugar.

OF Interest to Women

Others take the Incl oyables as a model
and make their hats Of silk felt or panne
velvet. trimming them with groupings
Of narrow military braid and buttons
rising halfway up the crown.
The hat which is shown in the sketch
today was built by Camille Roger and is
made Of violet, velvet, the entire surface
shirred over slender silk cords. At the
top the crown widens out in beret form.
and at its topmost pinnacle is a sprawl

remain at an eccentric angle.
Several Of the hats in velvet and felt
are followers Of the shape which was pro-

Is not as we'll turned out as her neighbor
in the high-crowned directoire hat. no
matter whether it is a direct copy Of the
hats Of that period or an artistic modifl-
cation to suit the Anglo-Saxon face.
1t is in the shape of the brim that the
trouble lies with these hats. A fraction
of a curve here or there alters the entire
expression of the wearer's face. The
tendency is toward the brim that shelves
straight backward from the crown. as it
does in this Roger hat. but women with

the more strongly outlined features OF
the men of the eighteenth century. have
taken their courage in both hands and
are wearing the narrow brim which rolls
stiffiy at each side and dips bit at front
and back.

Old MIR. Toad Tells How 1t Hap

Peter Rabbit stared down into the
deep pit Farmer Browns Boy had dug
in the far corner Of the garden, and
from the bottom of the pit, quite six
feet below, Old Mr. Toad stared up at
Peter. a wandering moonbeam fell fun
on Old Mr.. Toad. so that Peter could
see him very plainly. and the first thing
Peter noticed was that Mr.. Toad didn't
look frightened. No. sir. he didn't look
frightened, hut he did look terribly dis
gusted. III fact. there never was more
misunderstanding Toad.
Now. if / were in his place I would

Il would be frightened because l would
know that | couldn't possibly get out
without help. and I'm sure j don't know
of any one who could help me out of
such a place as that. But Old Mr.. Toad
doesn't look frightened. ! wonder if he
doesn't know enough to know that he
can't get out" Aloud he said: How
did you happen to fall in, Mr.. Toad"

French designers are Incorporating into
our autumn fashions. Georgette, for ex-
ample, makes a gown of black tulle to
| which she gives the name Empire and
the Napoleonic touches here are the
Roman laurel wreaths embroidered in
large, lozenge- shaped beads of compo-
sition silver. the splendid tassels made
of these beads with pearls, and the long,
inch wide chain of laurel wreaths thrown
over the shoulders
Bulloz places his Napoleonic touches

calls "Imperatrice Josephine" which is

witch man., without an inch of unneces-
sary fullness 1t is of black velvet, orna-
mented with superb beading Of emeralds
and rhinestones
Neither of these gowns expresses the
pure directoire, but 1t is best to put away
in your mind for the immediate future
the idea that the tendency toward the
Napoleonic in its most stately expression
will be the reigning fashion before

Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. October Sit is growing
increasingly difficult to know just what
is meant by the term directoire, as APP
piled to the costumery of the hour. We
quickly connect 1t in our minds with the
costumes Of the Incroyables and the Mer-
veilleuse. We see the broad stripes,
the slim coats cut short in front with
postillion backs, the hipless. waistless.
bustless figures of the women and the
simpering. dandifled figures of the men.
And again we feel how. strange it is
that the long trousers Of the Incroyables
mark the beginning of the conventional
attire of civilized manhood today. 1t is
passing queer that out Of such foppery
and absurd mockery of mascuHnity
should have come the sedate uniform OF
which few men know the source.

sweets that children like. To make 1t
have ready six cupfuls each of granu-
lated sugar and grated ounce and
and water together for minute after
the boiling point is reached. then add
the grated ounce and boil twenty min
utes, or longer, stirring often to keep
from burning. When the mixture is
thick, pour it into jelly glasses and
when cold cover with paraffin.
Ounces can be canned, too. To pre-
pare them, pare them and cut them
into eighths. Remove the seeds. Have
ready a rather heavy strip and cook
the ounces until very tender in this.

About the New Handbags.

There are SO many handbags of velvet
and silk and satin this autumn that we
almost lose sight of the leather ones Yet
there are some very smart leather ones to
be seen in the shops. and. with the strict
~ tailored street suit, or for morning use,
these are the best choice for the we'll
dressed woman.
There are a good many rather small
fiat bags. almost small enough TO be called
purses or pocketbooks. made with a Strap
through which the fingers go rather than
a handle. These. in patent leather or in
black brown leather. are decidedly eff
fective for morning use.
The newest thing. of course. is the
beaded bag. 1t matters not what material
is used as an excuse. a background. for
the bags. Sometimes 1t is silk. sometimes
velvet. But the beads are the important
point.
Fringe of the beads finishes many of
these beaded bags, and they are made
with silk. ribbon or cords. or with silver
clasps at the top.
There are some very attractive bag.
beaded in paisley shawl patterns These
are not. strictly. a novelty. for they could
be found last year. but they have an
added attraction this year because beads
! are in such high favor.
Sometimes floral designs are worked in
ma tural colors on dark blue or black ba OK
grounds Some times the tassels which fin
| ish pointed bags are so heavy and big that
I they almost dwarf the bags. Sometimes
! bags of crocheted silk thread have heavy
| crustings of beads. Always the beads pre-
| dominate
| Green. old rose. terra Gotta orange
| black steel. gilt. white and blue beads
are all much used
| Gay silks are much used for bag lin
| ings and they add much to the gorgeous
| appearance OF them.

was indignant Her first intention
was to dismiss the culprits, but they
were excellent servants, and, more
over. the repentant maid tearfully in
