Beneath it is a facing of silver metal

not confine the figure. It is of black
velvet, outlined at each edge with an
intricate cord made of colored beads.
This cord hangs at the side to the hem
of the skirt and is finished with heavy
tassels
The bodice is merely two straight
pieces Of cloth, draped over the shoul-
ders and caught under the arms. The
lining reaches up to the arm itself and
is made of magenta satin.

FASHIONS

Are you a follower and deyotee of
the dansant? If you are, you simply
must buy, beg, borrow or make for
yourself a hat similar to the one shown
in the sketch. This hat is the very
latest conner in the millinery field. 1t
is a two-piece affair, each section COM
plete in itself, but do not make the mis-
take of utterly divorcing them. AS is
the habit with all well regulated
chapeaux, this hat consists of brim
and a crown, and 1T was designed es-
pecially for wear at an afternoon or
tea dance.
The sketch shows hat the brim of
which is of dark brown velvet with a
band of gold lace, topped by u narrow
band of brown fur where the crown
would naturally begin. But this brim
Is completely finished Independently of
the crown, which is of gold lace edged
with a narrow frilI of gold net.

Lightfoot shook his head sadly. "It

Great woods, just as they are here in

place in all the Great World where we
could be perfectly safe at this dread

every day. You should be thankful,
Mrs. Grouse. that you are small. 1t is

you are lucky to be so small, Mrs.
Grouse"
You are lucky yourself" retorted
Mrs. Grouse. You are lucky that the
hunters use a different kind of gun
when they hunt you. a gun that shoots
only one bullet. When they shoot at
me they send a whole shower of tiny
bullets. I tell you it is mighty hard
work to keep out of the way of all of
them. AS it is, they have torn out lot
of my feathers, and I'm pretty lucky
that some of them didn't kill me. Lis

Instantly Lightfoot cooked his big
ears. while Mrs. Grouse stretched up
her head to hear better, and together
they listened with all their might.

HALLOWEEN SWEETS.

Any unusual candy or cake is suita-
BILE for Halloween. but especially suita-
BILE are those suggesting any Of the
strange little people Of the earth
brownies, fairies or even the little AMI
mails.
Some pretty Halloween cakes are
made in this way: Mix a plain cake,
sponge. pound or some other sort.
Bake it in thin layers and cut it into
squares or oblongs. Frost it with white
icing. When this stiffens, trace on it
with melted chocolate witches, cats.
brownies. or other emblems of the day.
The melted chocolate can be put on
with a clean, new paint brush.
Turtles of raisins and cloves are fas-
cinatirg little things. Use plump rails
ms. Into each stick a whole Glove for
for the feet. with the heads broken off
and the broken part of the stalk stuck
into the sides of the raisin. so that the
small part will stick out for the feet.
A still shorter broken stick forms the
tail
Peppermint dolls are another fasci-
mating sweet. To make these, use fiat,
white peppermint cream drops. Make
a net casing, somewhat In the shape of
man. Insert sticks Of peppermint
candy into the sections for legs and
arms. and into the circular part for the
body place large cream drop. Place a
smaller cream drop in the section for
the head. The edges of the two pieces
of net cut to make the man should be
whipped up with colored thread. The
drop for the head should be painted
with vegetable colors to represent a
face.
A good Halloween cake is this witches
cake. 1t should be iced with white
icing and decorated with chocolate fig
ures or with a procession of the little
turtles described. The ingredients for
it are four ounces of chocolate, one-half
pint of milk, one-half cup of butter,
one-half cup of sugar, four eggs. three
cups of flour and two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder.
Put the chocolate in the milk and
cook in a double boiler till smooth and
thick. about five minutes. Stand aside
to cool Then beat the butter to a
cream and add gradually the sugar and
yolks Of eggs; then put in the cold
chocolate paste and add the flour after

Cooking Advice.

And teaspoonful of sugar to very
heavy cream to prevent it's turning to
butter when whipped. A little baking
powder in whipped cream just before
completely whipped will make it light,
preventing heavy butter quality.
Eggs poached in milk have a rich
nutty flavor. and no part of the egg
will be tough.
If mayonnaise curdles, mix two scant
tablespoonfulS of water blended with
little cornstarch. Take the egg
beaten out of the curdled mixture, with
out washing. and beat in the bowl with
water. then add. very slowly, beating
all the time, the curdled mayonnaise.
Start the mixture slowly. and after the
first blending proceed more rapidly.

the Deer as he watchedothe leaves fiut-

be left bare; he knew that when Mis-
tress Spring should come again there
would be new leaves to make the trees
beautiful again. It was because he
knew that every leaf that fell made 1t
just SO much harder for him to hide
from the hunters who were trying SO
hard to kill him. Only the pine and
spruce and hemlock trees held fast
their leaves, and he loved them for 1t.

Campaign Is Begun.

The campaign to recognize faithful
family servants and to promote efficiency
by giving diplomas and emblem pins to
maids Of club members who have been
in service for certain periods of years
took definite form last night at the meet
ing of the District federation in the New
Ebbitt Hotel. Mrs. Court F. Wood. pres
ident, called upon Mrs. J. Edison Briggs,
chairman of the nome economics COM
mittee, to address members upon the pur-
poses and progress of this new effort.
The subject is to be given official action,
Mrs. Wood says, at the adjourned meet
ing Saturday afternoon at o'clock in the
Ebbitt.
Following the meeting last night mem
bers discussed informally with Mrs
Briggs their zeal in this campaign. She
was promised enthusiastic cooperation.
During this discussion DR.. Isabel H
Lamb, vice president of the public health
committee of the federation, living at 2114
18th street. said she can claim honors
among the federation officers second to
those of the president, Mrs. Wood, who
has had one maid for nineteen years. DR.
Lamb has had one servant for eighteen
years.

Washington seems to have achieved
world honors for longtime service OF

OF the District federation, learned of Mar
sa-et Duval. living with the family of
DR.. W. l.. Robins, 100 18th street, who
has been in the family of Mrs. Robins
for at least forty five years. Mrs. Robins
says she really believes she could prove
that Margaret has been with them for
more than half a century.
Margaret came as a mere girl to the
home of DR.. w. G. Palmer. father Of
Mrs Robins, who used to reside at 929
H street northwest, and after caring for
DR.. Palmer's daughters in their childhood
later went to live with Mrs. Robins as

Mrs. Robins also introduces for public
approval two men servants who have
been with her many years. Andrew b.

thirty-four years, and her butler has been
