There is wonderful diversity in
One-piece dresses, and there must be-

or wome1Afll not buy" says one of
those who sells frocks nearly all the
days of the year. 1t is business that
makes the world move forward, and so
designers call upon the four quarters
of the globe for ideas and inspirations.
This fall there are Chinese and Rus
sian and American Indian ideas inter
preted in new suits and dresses. or dis
cernible in their trimmings. along with
clever inventions that are home grown
and very modern.
But with all this casting about for
new inspirations there are almost no
freakiSh dresses. Everything must bow
to the decrecs of the mode and manage
to arrive at simplicity in effect, no mat
ter how much elaborated in details of
trimming or finish. The result is the
prettieSt and most wearable frOckS
that can be imagined, with the straight
line models In great favor and the
smart Russian blouse winning its way
to the front.
But the straight line dress has no
monopoly, as may be gathered from
the clever model in a one-piece frock
shown here. 1t follows the lines of
the tonneau skirt, at safe and sane
distance. with the small, side drapery

Making joke of deprivations is one
phase of French fortitude in these
times of trial The Parisienne makes
light of the scarcity of coal and says
she will rely upon furs and exercise
in the open air to keep herself warm
this winter. This prediction seems to
have influenced the mode, and furs
are everywhere. On suits and frOcks
they appear in bands, sometimes con-
tinuouS and more often in sections, on
the bottom of skirts and coats. Collars
and cuffs, fur-covered buttons, and
narrow fur bands and fringes of fur
find a place on all outer garments.
Deep cuffs, both close-ftting and
fiarins. and narrow collars that widen
into broad revers are among the new
est phases of fur trimmings. But with
the broadest collars and the most gen.
erouS cuffs are coupled very narrow
landings in pockets and about the bot
tom of coats. Collars are as luxurious
and enveloping as those introduced last
winter, those on suits of the convert
ible variety that may be brought up
about the throat at will.
One of the new fall suits, trimmed
with gray squirrel. is made of wool
velour. Squirrel looks well on the
wine, blue and green shades of the
present season and combines beauti-
fully with the soft "glove finish of
wool fabrics. The suit pictured is a
conservative model with straight
hanging coat, belted in at the waist

NOW MAKE ARTIFICIAL MILK
Manufacturers in England Have Pro-
duced Substitute So Perfect That
Cream Rises on 1t.

According to Popular Science Month
ly, they are making in England an ar
tif1cial milk which is so perfect that
cream rises on it and cheese can be
made from 1t. The ingredients are
ground peanuts, soy beans, sugar, wa
ter and mineral salts.
About 400 grains of potassium phos-
phate is dissolved in 200 pints of water
at 176 degrees Fahrenheit. Enough
sugar is added to give $40 per cent
to the finished product. Forty pounds
of meal prepared from the nuts and
boiled in a steam-jacketed pan; then
1t is subjected to an operation Of Il va
cuum pan, and lastly it Is treated with
a culture of Tactic bacteria until the
required acidity is obtained. After it
is pasteurized and cooled n small per-
centage Of citric acid Is added.
The milk thus produced may be con-
densed and sold in cans. or dried and
powdered, or sold as a liquid in bottles.
The Gdf ion of nut fats will give Il GER
tain = oportion of cream. BY using
sufficient Tactic bacteria the product
may be cultured to give table cream
or sOured mass for making cheese.

any place else in the world. Did any
one ever hear of an assistant rector
going about with q fortune in his
| hand"
He followed her into the library and
placed the box on the great table
where old Hilary had been wont to
divide the annual earnings Of the band.
Ward pointed to it with his humorous
smile.
"Would anyone suspect" he said,
that in that box there is o stone par
ish house, u new church organ, and &
children's Playground"
Then, glancing at her with keen
eyes, he was struck by her pallor.

cried. "Why, you poor child, it is you
who are worn out. Wouldn't it be bet
ter to have me come tomorrow and go
over the things you-spoke aboutE
Il think we had better talk about
them now," said Elinor, desperately
calm.
At q quarter before eleven that Sun

Old Henriette, astounded, withdrew,
not to sleep, but with the wakeful
alertness of old age, to wander up and
down the garden paths until such time

Ward suddenly realized that he was
making small headway. When at last
he caught Elinor's eyes on the clock
he flushed and rose.
"Ive done it all very badly" he
said. II seem to wander all about
and not get anywhere. You see it's
all so real to me-"
Elinor had leaned back with closed
eyes.
'It is oil very terrible to me-" she
replied. "This God of vengeance"
"This God of tenderness and mercy"
Ward supplemented. Don't you see
what it all means? How terrible this
life would be if this were all! Our

Elinor had reached her limit. The
band of her self-control snapped. She
could not hold him much longer, and
before he went he must know.

WISE CHOICE OF FOOD
BY n. E. Barnard.

The housekeeper who plans her
meals for two or three days in advance
saves much time and thought. There
was a time when carpenters cut each
timber as they built the house. The
modern builder knows before the first
foundation is laid just how his plan
will work out His estimates are accu-
rate and because he plans he builds
successfully and without waste.
Exactly the same method of plan
ming should be followed in the kitchen.
There is less likelihood that the same
food will be often repeated or often
cooked in the same way if the meals
for several days are planned in nd
vance. But in preparing meals the
housewife should be guided by several
principles. These rules are as fol-
lows:
/. Include in each meal foods suited
20 the needs of each member of the

M'GRAW STILL HOPES jim
THORPE MAY LEARN TO HIT
Giant Leader Seems Obsessed With
Idea That Big Indian May Yet
Become Great Ball Player.

There is something about Jim
Thorpe that John McGraw can't re-
Sist.
The Giant leader has sent Thorpe
on his way several times since he
signed him in 1913, but has always
brought him back to the Giant fold
for another trial.
McGraw appears to be obsessed with
the idea that some day Thorpe is 60
ing to make a wonderful ball player.
He has made Thorpe q sort of hobby
and nothing would please him better
than being able to teach the big In
dian how to hit major league pitching
consistently.
When Thorpe was sent to the Reds
early in the season everyone thought
it was final farewell insofar as the
Giants were concerned. But when
Mathewson finally turned him back to
the New York club, in August, Nc
GraW decided to keep him on the pay
roll, and as result Jim became one
of the eligibles for the worlds series.
Lucky for Thorpe? Well, rather.
Any other manager in the two big
leagues would have turned Jim over
to some minor league club without a
moments hesitation, and he would
have watched the worlds series from
the outside.
In everything but hitting Jim
Thorpe is very capable ball player.
He fields well and runs the bases well.
He can cover outfield territory with
less effort than the average fielder, and
he is by no means the slowest thinker
in the big leagues today.
But when it comes to walloping the
ball Jim is lacking. A curve ball will
cause Jim to tie himself into bow
knot, and every pitcher in the National
league is Jerry to his weakness. Now
and then Thorpe gets hold of a fast
one, and when he does it is tough on
the fences, for he is a long-f1y hitter.
But the trouble is that Jim doesn't hit
'em often enough to be of much use

or fat or starch. Meat served with
macaroni and cheese furnishes too
much protein; rice and potatoes too
much starch, roast pork and mince pie
too much fat.

POULTRY POINTERS

When chicks are confined to a linn
tied range, the ground should be
spaded up at frequent intervals, so as
to provide fresh ground for them to
scratch in.
Any pullet that does not begin lay
ing before the first extremely cold
weather will seldom lay many eggs
during December and January.
On the farm where pullets have
plenty of range hopper feeding gives
very satisfactory results; that is, Ger
tain food is put into a self-feeding hop
per where it is always available.
There is no economy in giving only
one kind of feed. because fowls and
chicks need a variety in order to get
kinds Of nOuriShment.
A dirty water dish offers a good
chance for the distribution of disease
germs, and all dishes should be cleaned
and scalded with boiling water fire.
quently during hot weather
Unless there is plenty of gravel or
other grit which the fowls can pick up
about the place, they should always
have a box Of commercial grit where
Nhey can reach it at any time, for grit
is necessary for perfect digestion.
Geese do not need shelter except dur
ing cold winter weather, when open
sheds may be provided.
If your flock is penned up, do not
neglect the meat constituent of the
ration.
The chief danger in feeding oats lies
in the hulls. 1t is too expensive to
buy hulled oats, and about the only
way to eliminate the trouble is to soak
the oats, or, still better, sprout them.

War Methods
Changing
v Ex-Governor Hoard

Against our will, we have been
forced into the greatest conflict ever
known. Our national life and liber-
ties and those of our children are at
stake, and we are in this war with
very meager preparation. Fortunate
ly in the last three years to supply
the allies we have learned how to
manufacture in large quantity guns,
munitions and other war supplies.
This has given us tens of thousands
of mechanics and artisans so trained
that large output of these war nee
essities can be quickly had.
This war has made clear what we
all ought to have known and that Is
that the volunteer system of service
utterly fails in a crisis, besides being
obviously unjust and undemOcratic.
Experience shows there is only one
plan that will work and that is uni
versal military training and service.
Aside from the training that will now
be given the men called by the selec-
tive draft, we must permanently adopt
the plan of giving every young man
least six months of intensive training
to build up his physique and develop
him in strength and virility. Nothing
else will do so much for him; these
men to be subject to call for service,
and they should be made available for
any kind af service necessary to main
tain the army and navy in time OF
war. 1t is quite as necessary to ploW
corn as to dig trenches. A man may be
able to render higher service to his
country behind the plow or at lathe
in a workshop than by operating
machine gun in a battle line. Every
one must be brought to understand
that he owes duty to his country
that in a crisis must be paid in per-
sonal service of such kind as the coun-
try may require of him. No matter
what that service may be, six months
of intensive military training Is the
best possible preparation he can have
for it.
In return for the blessings and OPP
portunities of freedom we enjoy. we
owe our country duty that must be
paid even if life must be sacrificed.
We have no right to shirk responsible
ity and endeavor to place the burden
upon others.
We must win this war, or God help
us. Germany is n mighty foe and to
defeat her we must go the limit. If
we do not win, liberty and popular gov
ernment may be lost to the world.
There is one lesson We must now
learn, that we should have learned
years ago, and that is never again to
be caught in position where we are
so completely unready to defend our
selves. We must adopt and perma-
nently maintain universal military
training. Without this our national
life will never be secure. There is no
assurance that the present will be the
last war. Such predictions have been
made after every war. There Is only
one way and that is to be strong and
ready. 1t is quite probable that if we
had been prepared the kaiser would
not have trampled upon our rights and
we would not have been forced into
this awful war. Now that we are in,
we must go through to the end and the
harder we fight the sooner it will be
over.

took the receiver down again, and
called the assistant rector's house. But
this time she spoke directly into the
transmitter.
"This is Elinor Kingston, Mr.. Ward.
1 wonder If you are very tired to-
night?"
81? Tired? I'm never tired"
Because 1 am thinking of asking
you to come up. There are some
things I want to talk about, questions
that are troubling me. l know it is
late, but"
Il saw you at the early service. Of
course I'll come up"
He had seen her thenl
''Ill do my best" he was saying. "Of
course, you know 1 may disappoint
you. These questions, that come from
within, must be answered in the same
way. But I'm coming at once"
Elinor's battle was only half fought,
but she had a great sense Of relief.
Let him meet Walter on the way. So
much the better. Let Huff know that
Ward was out, and the offering pre-
sumably unguarded. He might hate
the man, but no hope Of a running
fight with him would deter him from
his main object, the money.
To save Ward, she was willing, even
anxious, to let Walter succeed.
Women sometimes meet large crises
with small vantties. But Elinor had
no vanity. Without so much as
glance at the mirror she went out in
to the garden to listen for Wards step
on the road. She knew his walk al
ready; the forceful, certain step of an
energetic and purposeful man.
The Illuminated dial on the steeple
of the Baptist church showed some
thing after ten when Ward finally
came up the hill. The relief of seeing
him unharmed sent Elinor down the
terrace steps with both hands out.
Before he could take them, Ward was
obliged to stoop and deposit on the
ground at her feet small box that
he carried.
"The morning collection" he said
smiling and took her hands in his.
Her quick alarm showed In her face.

said, referring to a remark made by
one of his hearers.
"The public has good intentions to-
ward YOU but it sometimes has strange
ways of expressing them. An old lady
used to come in to buy postage stamps.
I observed to her one day that she
was evidently a great letter writer.
ooh she said sweetly, L don't

A Mystery Story
II shall warn him." she had said.
Huff's mouth was hard as he turned
and walked down the hill.
CHAPTER x.

Into and through her garden Elinor
walked quietly until she was safe from
surveillance. Then she ran swiftly,
ruthlessly across the flower beds,
through the roses. The terrace was
lighted. She avoided 1t, making a de-
tour that led by a side entrance into
old Hilary's library. For obvious rea-
sons, old Hilary's private telephone
was in a sound-proof closet.
Before Walter had taken a hundred
watchful PAGES down the road she
had Ward at the other end Of the
line. What with running and terror,
she could hardly speak. Once, long
ago, she had heard a discussion be-
tween Boroday and her father about
the use of the telephone. It's SUBJ
stance was that when the transmitter
is held to the chest a clear message
may be sent, but with the effect Of dis
tance. She held the transmitter to her
breast then, and it seemed to her that
Ward must hear the throbbing of
her heart.
Hello, hello!" came his quick re-
sponse.
No need to ask who it was. She
knew every infection of his voice.
'"This is-a friend" Elinor painted.
II want to tell you something"
"Yes?" Very incisive now.
"Tonight-very soon-an attempt

A vision Of old Hilary, gray-headed,
keen-eyed, at this very telephone,
flashed into her mind, old Hilary,
whose religion had been Of keeping the
faith, not with his God, but with his
men.
"Who are you?" The impatient
voice was saying in her ears. Are you
sure you want me? This is Ward, of
Saint Jude's."
Elinor quietly hung up the telephone
transmitter, and stood in the darkness,
her hands to her throat.
Old Henriette, ever watchful, came
into the library beyond. Elinor could
hear her wandering about, knew the
moment when she discovered her wrap
on a chair, heard her plaintive voice
speaking through a window to the
empty terrace.
Miss Elinor," she called. Miss
ElinOr!"
Elinor let her go. When her shuf-
fling footsteps had died away, Elinor
