TIT PAYS TO BUY OUR KIND
FINE FEATHERS"
 STERLING DRAMA

Those who see ''Fine Feathers at the Lyceum next week will agree that Director Naylor Unit the bulls eye" for good taste when he chose Eugene Walters great drama for his com pany., The principals are cast as fol- lows: Virginia Perry in the Lolita Robertson part of Jane Reynolds, the wife; Smythe Wallace (Robert Ed- eson) as Rob Reynolds, the husband; i; Ralph Murphy (Max Fikman) as Dick Meade, the friend; Margie Dow (Rose Coghlan) as Mrs. Collins, the neighbor; Philip Quin (Wilton Lackaye) as John Brand, the busi- ness man.
 Fine Feathers" is one of the best plays ever released to stock and Di- rector Naylor is certain that the first nighters will put the stamp of ap- proval on the production. The scene of the first and second acts changes, in the third and fourth, from a bun- galow on Staten Island to a suburban home. in a fashionable summer set clement and the costumes change with the circumstahces of those involved in the action. .z
 Only three more performances of Our New Minister" remain. That this is one of the prettiest rural conn., edies ever written is attested to by the large audiences that leave the theater after every performance. Seats are on sale daily at the box office.
 On Sunday evening. 'The Prince of Graustark" will head an all star pro- gram of motion pictures. This feat ure is dramatization of George Mo- Cutcheon's famous novel and, owing to its popularity, the management was extremely fortunate in securing it.

Household Notes

A pie composed of meat and vege- tables is far more substantial if cov- cred with potato paste.
 Citron can be cut in very thin slices If it is placed in the oven and heated through before slicing.
 It is better to economize on some- thing else than milk, simply because it is most important as nutriment.
 Apple pie made of thick apple sauce with butter and nutmeg and a marshmallow covering is delicious.
 In making cakes of Hamburg steak, he sure that they are of equal thick ness so that they will cook evenly.
 When the knob comes off the tea kettle lid, select cork larger than the hole, soak it and force it in while wet.
 If the cook is expected to cook a truly good dinner, she should know early in the morning what she is to have.
 Plain crackers are made delicious and interesting by toasting with marshmallow on top and a nutmeat on top of the mallow.

Could we but draw back the cur- tain,
 That surrounds each others lives, |. See the naked heart and spirit, Know what spur the action gives, Often we should find 1t better, 4 Purer than we judged we should, We should love each other better If we only understood" Some time ago a letter friend asked me to print that poem.
 At that time did not think it was quite universal enough in its appeal.
 But I have changed my mind.
 And here is the most powerful of several arguments that accomplish that process.
 She Had to Go About Posing As
 Lady of Leisure.
 A middle-aged and still very attrac- tive woman lost her husband. She had two children to support and no particular technical training. She went to the big city near which she lived and applied for position with one of the shops. The position given her was that of 8 shopper. That meant that her work was to go about in tho other shops, comparing values with those her own store offered, and, getting ideas of various sorts. Of course, she had to dress like a lady ot leisure and appear to be merely shop ping. Also, she was not supposed to tell even her friends of her connection with the store.
 They Preferred to Think the Worst.
 The result was that some of them put the worst possible construction on her position. One day a woman. who, in the days of her prosperity. had been among her best friends, see ing her in a shop. looking at some ex- pensive things, remarked in a deltber- ately audible tone to her companion: "Well, I wonder who is supplying the money for her"
 "I was working hard all day." she said afterward, 'and then coming home at night to do housework and sew for my children, sometimes un- til midnight. And that was what the reople who had been my friends when r lived in comfort chose to think of me-.
 Wasn't That . Cruel Reward?
 Hard, wasn't it?
 Yet things as hard as that happen every day.
 That was only one of the many ex- periences (my own and other people's) that showed me how much we need to realize that i've should love each other better if we only understood.
 Surely we all commit acts that we

Steel and Pig
 Iron Markets
The Iron Age says today:

The fuel situation has become more serious since the fixing of the s2 basis for bituminous coal and present and future effects upon the steel industry are giving no small concern. Eastern producers of plates and shapes have been facing a shutdown for the past ten days because of short shipments of gas, coal, and it appears that the Government must actually get into the buslness of supplying coal to some iron and steel producers from whom it has bought material
 The fact that $2 coal is not coming out and that users whose contracts at hlgner prices are still in force are getting supply, indicates what will happen when a price is fixed on coke Steel companies which buy blast fur mace coke in thee market may have to look to the Government to supply them with coke in order to be able to deliver Government steel.
 Only recently blast furnaces were unwillingly to enter into contracts for coke, expecting almost daily the an- nouncement of the Government price In the past week some furnaces which have sold pig iron through the first half of 1918 have contra cted for coke at $50, some of these contracts run ming through all of 1918.
 In connection with the allotment of 15,000 tons of Government coke among merchant coke operators for delivery over 12 months it should be said that the prices of $3.5O for foun- dry and $3 for furnace were tenta- tive and in the nature of advance payments. Final settlement is to be paid after prices are fixed by the Gov ernment
 Dissatisfaction with present war buying methods grows and manufac- turers who recently ceased to act on advisory committees in view of the legal questions raised are no tlikely to resume this relation. Sentiment is being made daily in favor of larger powers for the War Industries Board and the recognized need of further standardization may explain delay in an- nouncing iron and steel prices, though the impression in Washington is that the question will be settled this week.
 It is becoming clearer that recent contracting at concessions from the lately firm levels is to fix with a cer- tainty the supply of material. Consum- CTS may believe that the quantities available at Government prices after Government needs, general contracts and spot demands are cared for will be small
 Certainly there is an increasing in-

London, Sept. 21.-Inauguration of a new food economy campaign in Great Britain was announced yester- day by Baron Rhondda, the Food Controller. If voluntary measures fail," he said, "I shall have no com- junction in putting the nation on compulsory rations.'
 Baron Rhondda added that the danger of the situation did not lie in the submarine peril, but in the worlds shortage of cereals, meats and fats.
 Baron Rhondda made this state ment to the American correspondents here after telling them that the min- inum foodstuff requirements from the United States and Canada dur ing the forthcoming twelve months would be more than 10000, 900 tons, representing an expenditure of $1,- 5O,OO0,0O0.
 The food controller also an- nOunced measures for stabilizing the sugar trade, with a committee in New York to supervise Cuban pur- chases.

Early Prospects Bright Until

Wall Street-Under the lead of copper stocks, the market advanced strongly at the opening today. An- nouncement over night of the agree ment on a price of 23 1-2 cents for copper metal relieved apprehension of a drastic reduction and reacted favorably not only on the copper shares but on industrials generally. Gains of 1 to points were made in many instances. Profit taking and sluggishness of the railroads, how ever, caused quick rcactiOn Utah copper lost it's ? point gain and Can adian Pacific sold ? points under yes terday's close.

All of the early advances were turned into losses with particular weakness il the motors oils, zines, and Bethle- hem Steel, Utah copper and Canadian Pacific.

the front width and evidently these trial balloons proved that the air was safe for the sending out of dozens of such frocks.
 The Americans have accepted them in high glee. It is novelty that tickles the mind of the novelty hunting Arneri- can women When you see group of fashionably dressed women eagerly talk ing and gesticulating, pulling out pieces of a frock here and there and turning themselves around as on a pivot, you will realize that they are each explaining to The other how the frock is adjusted with cut a hook and eye, without button and without a loop.
 The new coat suits have caught the fever. and some of the best are adjusted with merely loop of military braid run through buttonhole and tied back on itself.
 The smartest afternoon gowns have large buttonholes from neck to waist, through which are run pieces of broad or picot-edged ribbon tying the two fronts together.

 If you are an economical woman and want to provide the trimming for your clothes in your own sewing room, just get a pair of sharp scissors and amuse yourself as children do on wet days in the nursery, by clipping pieces of fabric into fringe. The children may do it for you in spirit of sport, and the task will keep them quiet for the afternoon while you prepare the rest of your gown as a setting for these yards of fringe. 'FROCKSs SLIP OVER THE HEAD
 Everything that was invented in clothes this year had reason. Skirts were narrow because the French government limited the use of cloth to five metres. They were minus fasteners because these accessories were difficult to get and war time activities demanded speedy meth cd of dressing; so frocks were made to go over the head and tie around the body in primitive fashion.
 Certain dyes were exploited because there were no others to be had Fringed fabrics were introduced because applied ornamentation was costly and the supply was vastly decreased from that of for mer days

elimination of fabrics, each of the gowns

elimination of fabrics, each of the gowns turned out this year shows originality or conception and treatment in achieving an artistic result with very few metres of cloth.
 A few of the American clothes which were designed before the French sil- houette was thoroughly accepted, have taken their place little behind the front
 row of fashions because they look bungle- some Here is the French silhouette as the best dressed Americans have adopted 1t: A slim underslSirt made In one piece that runs from the collarbone nearly to
 the ankle in street frock, and from bust
 to within six inches of the ankle in
 an evening gown, but on it draped the few remaining yards of fabric that are allowed to complete the work. Therefore. it is quite fashionable to use transparent material for the after
 noon and evening, in order to show the slim little slip beneath. It Is not neces- sary that the transparent fabric used over this slip should be cut off to core spond. It may rise to the shoulders and drop to the instep. and in that very allur- l ing transparency, you get the East Indian effect
