There are capes and capes; not so
many of them, but variety as to size
and design and promise of capes
made of fur and fur fabrics when win
ter comes. Small capes rule the
modes In summer furs and lead up to
the larger capes and mantels that are
prominent in the August fur showings.
Small capes finish many of the coats
In new suits for fall and novelty has
appeared in one-piece frock with a
long, detachable cape made of the
same material as the gown.
Whatever may be the fate Of the
cape in the race for popular favor, II is
a garment of character and good style
at all times. A handsome example
appears in the long cape Of fancy
plush which fits into the needs Of its
wearer in almost any season. Devel-
oped in taupe-colored silk plush, lined
with white satin, and with a wide
white satin collar, it is an overgar-
ment equal to grazing any crcasion
The model pictured is cut TO hang
straight at the front and fall from the
shoulders and back.
The Introduction Of white In the
collar and lining adapts this particular
cape to late summer and early fall
wear, but its usefulness Is not limited
a. to seasons. 1t makes a presentable

First of the New Fall Suits.

The first of the new fall suits and
the last of those for summer invite
comparison in the picture above. 1t
will be seen that they have several
points In common but that the fall
model shows departures in the direc-
ton of greater length in coats, in the
matter of trimming and in trim, def
mite lines, that give the figure smart,
well-set-up look.
The fall suit is made of gaberdine
In dark blue with black silk braid and
bone buttons used on the coat for dec
grafton. The skirt in this suit, as in
nearly all the new models for fall, is
plain, finished with a hem and cut
about ankle length. The rule for length
| is six or eight inches above the floor,
so the day of the very short skirt ap-
pears to have departed. 1t is not so
definitely relegated to the past as the
long skirt for street wear. That is
q folly to which women are not likely
to return.

A New Pullman Coat.

The woman who travels across tho
conunent-or takes even an overnight
journey-will revel In a new Pullman
coat of thin pongee, designed for use
as a negligee when trips are made
from sleeping berth to dressing room,
and for comfortable lounging all day
in ones section. All-covering and
loose enough to feel cool and comfor-
table, like negligee, the garment is
cut and finished to look like smart
coat. Ii would be quite presentable in
the dining car, or on station platform
when one gets out moment during a
stop, to stretch muscles and breathe
the fresh air.

The coat is almost three-quarter
length and heralds the advent Of
longer coats with suits for fall and
winter. The insert of rows of braid
over the hips also reflects a style fea-
ture which is evidenced in many mod
els. and this is the emphasis of this
portion Of the new coats with decora-
lions. Large pockets still play an i'm
portant part in coat schemes along
with wide cape collars, surmounted by
smaller collars and a careful use Of
buttons. In the last regard the new
suits are an Improvement upon spring

such lengths In the prodigal use of but

Writing Affectionate Letters to He
Boy in the Trenches

You know we really haven't known
each other so very long. 1t was only
about two weeks, wasn't it, after we
first met that we were engaged? 1t has
been pretty rapid, hasn't it?"
'Well," laughed Jack, what Is the
use of losing timer
Polly's sister, Dora, didn't like the
changed date any better than the
bride-elect. 1t damaged her plans, and
when Avery Dean called the next eve
ming she confided in him.
'I've just been reading in the paper
today about those slackers who get
married to avoid going in the army
Aren't they the cowards?" she said.
'They certainly are" agreed Mr.. Az
cry Dean.
Goodness Do you suppose that's
why Jack is hurrying up the wedding?'
asked Dora.
Dean looked surprised, then rather
panied.
Il would rather you hadn't asked
me. l DON'T want to give any opinion,
he answered.
"Whit n means you know" cried
Dora. AOh isn't that despicable?
thought 1t was an awfully rapid court
ship, and could hardly believe my ears
when she told me they were engaged.
SO that was the reason? Well, she's
going t. be put wise. My sister is not
going to be made an excuse for slack

81 did think l had the least little
chance myself before Davies appeared
on the scene" unused Dean, 'but II
seems I've got to give it up"
"You keep up your hopes. All is not
lost" comforted Dora. "The invita-.
tons are not out yet"
Polly, who was away when Dean
called, came in to hear the miserable
news from her sister. At first she
stoutly denied that such thing could
be possible, then Dora's fearful re-
monstrances, the attitude of Jack and
the unexplained business" which was
to take him away, all lent color to the
dreadful suspicion. That evening
Dean called. was very kindly received
by Polly, and naturally he lost no time
in pleading his own suit.
The form for the wedding invita-
tons, which was to have gone to the
engraver that evening, was not sent. i
was a coldly determined young woman
that informed the prospective bride
groom that she absolutely refused t.
have the date Of the wedding
changed.

dersfand that it's in two weeks.
They've made their plans, too. And
there's Jennie Brice and Grace Cleary,
both are going to the mountains the
next day"
II can't help where they're going nor
what they think" was the firm reply.
1--WE made up my mind"
IF you hadn't wanted church we'd
ding with all the trimmings, we could
have just walked in to the minister
and had it over in 10 time, without
everybody gossiping and being upset
over the change"
Il think this is of more Importance
to me than everybody snapped
Polly.
Naturally these little scenes did not
promote feeling of harmony, and
Dean began to find his office Of COM
forter more and more in demand. As
for Davies, he could but notice that
he was becoming unpopular with the
young people. They seemed to avoid
| him. He wondered If it was the de-
layed wedding. Did they think he was
| the cause of the changed time? Once
| or twice he endeavored to explain, but
his words seemed to be taken either
coldly or increduIously. He did not
know that it had been circulated that
he was a Stacker.
Meanwhile Dean lost no time in
pressing his suit. Polly, on the point
of yielding, had several times refused
to see Davies. One evening the tele-
phone rang. Dora answered it.
TITS Jack ~ she called to Polly.
TEL him I'm out" answered Polly.
Then very determined voice came
over the wire.
''Your sister must see me now, or
never" he said.
Dora repeated this to Polly.
Good heavens !" she whispered
"What do you suppose is the matter?'
'Tell him I'll be back in about half
an hour"
Jack appeared before the time, In
evident haste.
'Fve come to say goodbye" he an
nounced.
"Good-bye!" she echoed family.
Eyes, l must leave tonight"
Il suppose it's that business" she
faltered.
Eyes, l suppose I may as well tel
you now that it is. 1t doesn't matter
now. l may never see you again.
don't think you'll care very much if ]
don't. 1t has been a pretty hard blow
to me TOTO think l made such mis-
take about you. All l can say is thai

goodbye"
"But you haven't told me-"
mo, you see before l asked you tt

Then the whole miserable slacke
suspicion was blurted out

ice, and 1t was best not to talk" h

tonight. l hope to be In the trenche
in two weeks"
1t was very repentent girl tina
sobbed out her plea for forgiveness
and about the most hurried weddin

trimmings"
And now Polly spends most of he
time knitting or writing tenderly af
fectionate letters to her boy in tn
trenches.

close, then drop them into boiling wa
ter for IS minutes, then dip in cold
water and hang in the sun dry. Pro-

bring them in before the dew falls
Two or three sunny days will dry them.
They are to be soaked before using,
but the dried flavor Is very attractive.
Corn Chowder.-Take quart each
of corn, either fresh, dried or canned,
quart of potatoes, three-inch cube
of salt pork a sliced onion. Dice the
pork and fry until brown, add the onion
and few tablespoonfuls of the corn,
cook until a light brcwn. BY remov-
