COATS ARE GROWING LONGER
Those for Autumn, According to FASH
ion Editor, Will Show a Marked
Change in Style.

In the Woman's Home Companion
the fashion editor says:
"Coats are conspicuously showing
the descending line. Autumn suit coats
will vary in length from % to 3s
inches, "a inches being the most popu-
lar length; while 48 inches is a good
length for the separate coat.
"Plush, velour, panecla-which is
the short nap French velvet-and imi-
tation fur fabrics are all good mate
rails for these coats. The leading nov
city in these limitations Is Rodier's ed
erella, a close imitation of Persian
lamb.
'These suit coats and separate coats
alike rely upon their collars and cuffs
for their novelty note, and assure you
they have not relied in vain. The
cape collar, about the only real mill
tary note in the new fashions, and
the high wrinkled crush collars, are
the leaders. They both have the big
clumsy look in common-it Is regard
ed as their chief style note. Some
Of these collars may be worn two
ways, buttoned up close about the
neck, or laid out fiat in cape style.
MANY of the separate coats have
kimono sleeves, often so stitched that
they have raglan effect. The full
leg O. mutton style is seen, too, made
with deep flaring cuffs"

HOW TO PICKLE A HUSBAND

Most husbands can be picked very
successfully and many persons consider
the flavor greatly improved thereby.
Place whatever kind of a husband
you happen to have on hand in the
family jar which has been first
filled with very hot water. Let re-
main twenty. four hours, keeping at
boiling point over a fire of angry
words. When he begins to soften and
shrink wiring thoroughly and place in a
brine of reproachful tears. When re-
duced to about one-fifth the man he
used to think he was, toast to a rich
brown on the griddle of hot temper
Return to the jar and pour over plenty
of the vinegar Of sour looks, spiced with
pepper of tongue and sprinkling of
the man you might have married.
and if after short time you do not
find him completely picked he must
have been 3 tough old cucumber in the
first place.
By emitting most of above and add
ing an equal portion of honey and
sweet spices, you will have an excel
lent pickle-of the sweet variety.

To Clean Paint,

The easiest and quickest way OF
cleaning paint is to have two pals of
water, one cold, to which a tablespoon
full of ammonia has been added, and
one hot, with the addition of little
ammonia and soap powder. With a
soft flannel wash the paint with the
soapy water. then rinse with the cold
water, using wash leather instead of
the flannel, and wiring the leather fair
ly dry. Paint washed like this dries
with nice polish, which no amount
of drying with cloths and using hot
water alone will impart.

To keep the VS. of the lathe bed oily
and in condition, a piece of heavy felt
should be glued over the VS. on the
four wings of the carriage. The felt
should be almost saturated with oil
each day. AS the carriage moves back

from accumulating between the car
riage and the lathe bed.-Popular Sci

Jacks Misfortune.

Helen was an only child. One day
she was playing at having brother
and sister. The brother she called
jack and the sister Dorothy. She took
them to the dinner table, having a
place for each one, all through the day
acting just as though there were real
children. She took them into the bath
room to wash thier hands. Her mother
heard her laughing heartily and went
into the bathroom to see what was the
matter. "Why," explained little Helen,
"Jack fell in the bathtub.'

Aiorettes From India.

.Aigrette plumes are now obtained
in India in much the same manner in
which we get our ostrich plumes.
When captured, the birds become very
tame. They are fed upon fish. The
birds grow rapidly, and each year pro-
duce four sets of the delicate, highly
priced aigrettes. The aigrette is re-
moved without the least injury to the
bird. India seems to be the only
country in which aigrettes can be OBJ
tained without killing the mother bird
for her plumes.

How to Prevent Blood POISONING,

When you have cut, scratch, a
bruise or any other kind Of injury
paint it with iodine. AS soon as in
jured dip toothpick with cotton
rolled on the end of it in the iodine
and paint over the wound without
washing. The iodine will kill all the
germs in the dirt that gets into the
wound, while washing only drives the
germs farther into the flesh. When
painted with iodine wrap the injured
part in clean cloth for a couple of

Skating, the origin of which is lost

there was skating even before the

The Eskimos used bone skates when
they were first discovered by the
