NEW NETHERS.
The Kind of Stockings That Go With
Fall Shoes.

The Kind of Stockings That Go With
Fall Shoes.
Whoever said that simple footwear
was coming back into fashion was
much mistaken. To be sure, certain
styles of fancy" shoes were marked
down last winter. but other styles quite
as elaborate took their place, and, as
for stockings. never before have they
been so varied and so far from plain
or simple.
There is some thought that cotton
stockings, colored ones at that, may be
worn, for the price of silk stockings Is
soaring by the hour. But just at the
moment silk stockings are made in
hundreds Of patterns.
Stripes form the most prominent
stocking decoration or motive. Some
times they are up and down stripes,
sometimes stripes running around;
sometimes they extend the whole
length Of the stocking. sometimes only
halfway down or halfway up.
There are checked stockings, too,
and plaid ones. and there are stock
ings with odd and irregular designs.
Then, too, regular clOcking at the
ankles, in colors or black on white, is
a prominent feature of the summer
stockings. Clocks are especially smart
for wear with sport shoes. and they
add to the effectiveness of low shoes
worn with short skirts.
One black and white combination
shows half inch stripes extending from
the toe to the calf ending there in ar
rowheads. Another shows a panel of
stripes extending the full length of the
stocking. about four inches across the
front.
One Of the newer sorts Of evening
stockings show beaded embroidery.
This is in line with the vogue for bead
ed embroidery and seQuins and span
giles that is so strong for evening
frocks.
Inserts of real lace. too. In fine silk
stockings are used for evening. And
another evening idea is a white silk
stocking painted with flowers to
match a painted kid slipper. This, of
course. is so unusual that 1t may al
most be considered freak style. But
It is interesting and Is mentioned for
what 1t is worth.

A DANISH LEGEND.

Once upon a time the daughter of
one Of the underground people, the
Bergmen, was married to a smith who
lived in Mors.
Kirstin was a good and most patient
wife, although her husband, the smith,
was cross and surly and sometimes
even beat her when he was In an i'll
temper.
Kirstin did not like this at all, and
one day when he had taken up a stick
intending to strike her she seized a
great horseshoe which was lying on
the anvil and broke it In two without
any difficulty.
The smith was astonished. "Are you
that strongi" he asked. Then why
have you never resisted when struck
you"
Because love you," said Kirstin.
"In strike you no morep said the
smith, and he kept his word.
The people of Mors, however, were
not friendly to the Bergman's
daughter and in spite of her desire to
be on pleasant terms with them
avoided her and would scarcely even
nod to her when they met.
One day, as she and all the people
were standing in the churchyard. wait
ing for the arrival Of the minister.
Kirstin said to her husband:
Listen to me-my father is coming
to see me, but he is angry"
AS she thus warned her husband the
Bergman appeared, and a most awe
inspiring person he was! Indeed, he
was so terrible to look at that the
people would have liked to creep into
the earth to avoid him.
'My dear daughter" said the Berg
man, 81 hear the people here will have
naught to do with you, so have come

Eyes, father" replied Kirstin. "Pn
toss them up in the air a Bit" said he.
"Wil you pitch or catchr
'I'n CATCH" said Kirstin, for she
feared the Bergman would handle the
people very roughly.
Then began q merry game. The Berg
man stood on one side Of the church,
Kirstin, his daughter, on the other, and
the Bergman tossed all the people in
turn over the roof Of the church to Kir-
stin, who deity caught them.
No one was injured, but every one
was badly scared. But the plan worked
to charm, for so long as Kirstin lived
she was treated with the greatest re-
spect and consideration.

FOOD THAT FEEDS
Why Do We Eat, Anyway, In Sum-
mer Time2
WHAT IS A GOOD MENU7

Most Housewives Don't Know Food
Values to the Extent of Giving Q
Family, Especially Growing Children,
the Proper Proportions of Protein.
One Of the most important things
that every housewife should know
about food Is its value as nourishment
for the body. We must I'm fact have
foods that feed. There are several
kinds Of values that all human bodies
need In the food they eat and with
out which they cannot be healthy and
well nourished. These are:
Material to build the body and repair
waste.
Material to give heat and strength.
Material to enrich and cleanse the
blood.
Material to form bone.
Let US take them I'm order.
1t may be said Of the body building
material that, In sense, it Is the most
important Of all, because we cannot
live without 1t, while we might 60 on
living for some time without most Of
the others Though we could not long re-
main healthy. Cheese, lent1ls, haricot
beans, split peas, meat, fish, oatmeal,
eggs, nuts and, to q somewhat less ex-
tent, good bread, all have much body
building material.

cream, suet, dripping, margarine and
nut butter, give warmth and energy,
strength and power to work. Sugar.
molasses and golden strip are also
heat giving, and so are starchy foods,
such as potatoes, rice and cornstarch.
These foods, however, contain very lit
tie body building material
Vegetables and fruit (other than
peas, beans and lentils) contain scarce
ly ANY Of the body building materials,
but they give the body what no other
foods give-that Is, certain juices which
purify and enrich the blood and with
out which no one can be healthy. 1t
Is these precious juices which are
thrown away when vegetables are
boiled In water and the water poured
down the sink. If these juices were
taken by people every day in properly
cooked vegetables there would not be
nearly so much money spent at the
drug store, as they are the best pos
sible form of natural medicine.
The bone forming materials are to be
found principally In milk and cheese,
good bread, oatmeal and in onions and
many green vegetables. They are abb
solutely necessary for growing children.
The result Of children not getting
enough Of them is only too often to be
seen In bad teeth and stunted growth.

Galatea For Erocks.

1t is astonishing to note that gala
tea is being used in dresses for grown
ups. Hitherto 1t was confined to dress
es for the schoolgirl and little tot, but
at the present time it Is also adapted
for mother. 1t is shown in plain col
ors, such as blue. green, rose and white,
and often trimmed with pique or
combining fabric. Other models are
shown in striped effects, the founda-
ton being white and the stripe in color.
One particularly attractive dress was
seen recently, the cUlors being blue
and white. The arrangement Of the
stripes affords a novel detail. The odd
cuffs are of white pique. The broad
brimmed hat and high button boots are
details Of interest A gown Of this
type is especially useful for morning
and informal wear. Galatea is an eX-
cellent fabric for use In MILDLY blouses

In Genesis vi, Is, we have the meas
ure Of the ark to be as follows: "The
length of the ark shall be 300 cubits,
the breadth Of it so cubits and the
height Of it 80 cubits." We find that
authorities differ somewhat as to the
exact length of a cubit. 1t may be
from eighteen inches to twenty-one
inches. If we take twenty inches as
the length of a cubit the ark would
measure 500 feet by SO 1-3 feet by so
feet. A slight variation, one way or
the other, will make no material differ
ence in the final measure.

STYLE TIPS.
One 10 Rows of Silk Stitch
ing Used as Trimming.

Just one whisper today about the
new modes for fall. Paris openings are
over, and the autumn styles are pretty
well settled-the Paris styles, that Is.
American women do not always abide
by these styles.
They look over the new modes and
select those that appeal to them most,
discarding others, and presently the
selected modes appear with miraculous
swiftness in the shops for everybody to
buy. But there are two or three salient
features in the Paris styles that cannot
be disregarded, even thus early, for
their repetition by one couturier after
another foretells their sure Importance
as winter style features.
One of these is silk stitching used as
q trimming. The Paris frochs and
coats are fitted by many seams and
darts, all stitched conspicuously in more
or less fanciful effect. Pocket flaps,
cuffs, revers-they are all garnished
with silk stitching, and skirts and
tunics have often a score or more of
rows Of this stitchery, done on the ma
chine In effective chain stitch.
Alpaca is a surprise for the coming
season. Both alpaca and mohair are
being used by some of the couturiers in
tailored frocks for day wear. Some of
these models are appealingly chic, as.
for instance, a sample frock of black
twilled alpaca with a full overskirt
pressed into little box plaits and fall
ing almost to the edge of plain foun-
dalton skirt. This frock has a button
In back bodice with long, close sleeves
and one Of the enormous japanese col

and front and plated into the waist at
the sides. 1t is attached with a stitch
ed seam to the box plated overskirt.
little tabs In the bodice extending down
over the plaits to emphasize the long
wasted effect. Under this moyen age
bodice is a foundation fitted to the
waist line and stifrened to insure
trimness, though the outer button in
back bodice is loose rather than close
fitting.
Silks for formal frocks and evening
frocks, of course, and Paris whispers
that satins and satin surfaced silks
will be most in favor. OF these a new
silk called soiree is exquisitely beauti-
full in its lights and shades of color, a
