OF Interest TO Women
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

! Special Correspondence Of The Star.
! NEW YORK, November 23.-A type
of gown which has always been rather
| neglected in this country Is the so
| called dinner gown" the garment that
is dist;nctively designed for wear after
| 8 o'clock, and yet avoids the formality
of the simon-pure evening gown. Large
numbers of women have arranged their
wardrobes for the street. for the house,
/ for afternoon occasions such as teas,
| club meetings or bridge parties when
street costume was Impractical bic. and
! for formal evening engagements. The
| frock of thin, or of elaborate materi-
ais which is yet neither low in the
neck, nor so ceremonious as the real
evening gown. has not been considered
a necessary part of most women's
equipment.
Yet life in our American cities. and
the customs of American society. would
seem to make this type a necessity in
the wardrobe of the woman who has
a place in the social life of her To-
cality We have never completely
adopted. for example. the English
habit of wearing full evening regalia

has been growing in recent years. In

iy they look better in the evening
than at amy other time. take any eX-
cuse to wear their most becoming Garb.
In quite simply conducted households
one viii find the ladies of the house
in low-cut. sleeveless attire for the
ordinary family dinner
Several distinguished visitors to this
country in the last year or SO have
commented on the fact that, nationally.
our women. whom they profess to ad
lrlire Immensely. look much better on
dress. They say that the more formal
dressing has the effect of overwheln-
ing us. that the national types are
not. as a rule, brilliaUt-looking enough
to stand gorgeous fabrics, and many
jewels.
For all these reasons. it seems as if
the sort OF a frock which is illustrated
today should be an incorporated. part
of tho paraphernalia OF every American
woman. This is q style that is dis
rinctIv adapted to the later hours of
the day. yet it is not too stately and
formal to be unbecoring even to a
pronounced modest violet" sort of
woman. 1t is gorgeous enough, with
but the black tulle renders it quite
discreet at the same time. 1t is not
cut low, ana it has more of sleeve
than We have been accustomed to see
for a long time. The finely plated
skirt is a favorite for pretty frocks of

PREPARING THE FEAST

OF course, you have always provided
enough for your Thanksgiving dinner,
but did you ever provide just enough
There is really more of an art in ac-
complishng the latter task than the
former.
This task of cutting down the tradi-
tional Thanksgiving feast to rational
proportions is not always an easy one.
So ingrained are our associations of
turkey and cranberries, squash, sweet
potatoes and pumpkin pie with this
feast of the glad heart that to take
away one jot or little of the feast
seems almost like an act of disrespect
to the memory of the past.
We sometimes forget that the folk
at the first Thanksgiving dinner
were for the most part heartier folk
than ourselves and that the traditions
of the feast were established among
country-folk and farmers whose out
door existence and muscular occupa-
tions made them more ready to devour
ravenously. Besides, If the traditions
are correct. those first Thanksgiving
diners had Jared rather lightly for sew
eral days before they sat down to their
great feast. In fact, 1t was the good
old custom to precede any really boun-
tiful feast by a fast. Years before the
first Thanksgiving the custom was es-
tablished to celebrate the fast of
Christmas eve almost as carefully as
folk celebrated the feast next day, and
If one gorged to capacity all Easter
week it was because there had been 4
strict fast the week before.
But now we most of US fast but sell
dom, or only nominaily, and avoid the
other extreme of gorging. We know
that not only is enough as good as too
much but decidedly better, and we
look somewhat askance on the dining
table overladen with all sorts of culi-
nary temptations 10 lead US into the
ways of bad digestion.
So while you forget not the turke y
and the cranberry, nor the pie and the
squash, on THANKSGIVING, remembe
that those who dine at your board
probably have duties to attend to on
not want to be fed into state of
stupor Keep the spirit of the old
fashioned dinner by leaving out all un-
necessary courses and make the serv-
ice as dainty as possible.
Instead of a soup, an oyster cocktail
or raw oysters is good choice, and
from that proceed right into the main
course Cranberry jelly. squash and
mashed potatoes should be served with
the course, and for a salad course a
good selection would be minced celery
on lettuce with French dressing In
stead of the old-fashioned slices of
pumpkin pie, one can serve the pump
kin mixture made into more tempting
tart forms, and after this raisins and
nuts or fruits may be served.

of his tunnel Just beyond were two
or three brown leaves. Danny crept
under them. Just as he did so out OF
the doorway he had just left came
Miner the Mole swapping his teeth in a
terrible rage.
OF course. Old Man Coyote heard
him. Like flash he turned and with
two long jumps he was on that little
mound. Danny didn't wait to see what
happened then. He slipped out from
under the leaves, and in the shelter of
friendly Black Shadow he ran with
all his might. He hoped Old Man
Coyote didn't catch Miner the Mole. He
had no hard feelings against Miner. for
he knew that he had had no business to
be in Miners tunnel Once he turned
to look back. The moonlight fell full
on that little mound. and what he saw
was Old Man Coyote digging with all
his might. BY that he guessed that
Old Man Coyote hadn't caught Miner
after all, and somehow that thought
made Danny feel better. Then he
turned his attention to getting away
from there as fast as he could.

Out of the Frying Pan Into the
Fire.

You know that is an old saying
which means getting out of one kind of
trouble into worse trouble. Danny
Meadow Mouse, running as fast as he
could along the tunnel of Miner the
Mole, wondered if that was what he
had done. He had just escaped from
old Man Coyote by digging down into
that tunnel where Old Man Coyote
couldn't follow him. Now here he was
with Miner the Mole gnashing his teeth
in terrible rage behind him, and he
not knowing whether or not there was
an opening at the end of that tunnel.
If there was he would be safe from
Miner. for Miner couldn't catch him on
the surface of the ground and wouldn't
try. If there wasn't an opening-well
Danny tried not to think of that. He
just gritted his teeth and ran faster.
He would have to dig his way out and
he would have to have time enough to
do it before Miner could catch him.
Would that tunnel ever end? Danny
was beginning to breathe hard. Miner
the Mole was slow enough on top of
the ground. but here in his tunnel he
could move faster than Danny had had
any idea he could. And Miner was
working himself into terrible temper.
Danny knew by the sounds that it
would be quite useless to stop and try
to tell Miner that he wasn't doing any
harm there and that the only reason he
was in there was because it had been
his only chance to get away from Old
Man Coyote. No. there was but one
thing for him to do and that was to get
out of there
So he ran and he ran and he ran, and
he hoped with all his might that when
he reached the end he would find that
was a very terrible feeling, this uncer-
tainty. You see. it gave Danny mixed
feeling. hope that there was. and fear
that there wasn't 1t would almost
have been better TO know that there
wasn't a doorway there because then
he would have known the worst, and
sometimes it is easier to know the
worst than to simply have to dread the
worst.
AT last Danny reached the end of the
long tunnel. and with great sigh of
relief he found that there was a door
way. 1t wasn't open. but it was almost
the same thing as open. There was a
little loose earth closing it. but it was
so loose that 1t didn't take Danny two
seconds to dig il out Of the way and
pop out into the moonlight. And right
then Danny got such a shock that he
was almost ready to give up in despair.
He felt that if he had jumped from the
frying pan into the fire before. he had
done the same thing all over again.

There. not two jumps away. was Old
Man Coyote! Yes. sir. 1t was Old Man
Coyote, standing in the moonlight. Do
you wonder that Danny was quite in
despair?
His first thought was to dodge back
into the tunnel. Indeed. he did start
to. Then he remembered Miner the
caught by old Man Coyote than to be
caught by Miner the Mole. Down in
that tunnel there wouldn't be the
teeniest. weeniest chance Of escape
from Miner, and there was just the
least bit of chance that somehow. he
didn't know how, he might get away
from Old Man Coyote. Fortunately.
Old Man Coyote was standing back to
him. Holding his breath, Danny softly
crept down the side of the little mound
of earth which Miner had thrown up
when he made that doorway at the end

A Strenuous Season.

! Thanksgiving hasn't arrived yet, but
| in spite of that fact it is only a month
to Christmas. There was a good deal
| of agitation, earlier in the season.
about the late Thanksgiving this year
! There was even some effort to have
,, Thursday. November %, declared
Thank sgiving day. For, said those
who were interested. Thanksgiving
marks the beginning of the Christmas
shopping season. 1t seems to be fixed
in everybody's mind as the date of the
real beginning of the Christmas pre-
paratory season.
So. the argument went, the Christmas
shipping rush would be worse than
usual this year, because it would have
to be crowded into twenty week days
the number of those useful days that
come between November 80 and Decem-
ber 25
But Thanksgiving comes on the last
day of the month. despite all agitation.
And SO the shopping for Christmas is
bound 20 be a bit strenuous.
The only thing we can do to make
the time easier for ourselves, as well
as for those who work in the shops.
is to get to work Immediately, plan
for Christmas lists and then buy our
gifts.
1t is really a sign of lack of ability
to let Christmas get ahead of us. For
nobody, even the very busy men or
woman, need let Christmas be burden
To be sure if we have plenty of
time. it is a very good plan to choose
each gift with especial reference to the
person to whom it is to be given. III
we know the tastes of our friends it is
compliment to recognize them at
Christmas time. But if we rush madly
about the shops the day before Christ
mas to find just the right thing for
somebody to whom We always give
gift. We are showing ourselves decid-
edly foolish.
If we are very busy, the best thing
to do is to fill our purse as full as
our Christmas allowance will let US
to arm ourselves with a list Of those
to whom we give gifts. and go to some
reliable shop. There We can buy all
our gifts.
