Bessie was Undeniably pretty, with
golden glints in her hair and blue
eyes so dark and deeply shaded they
always reminded one Of spring vio-

she gave vent to a grievance the rest
of the family invariably sympathiZed.
The family consisted solely Of her
mother, her younger sister Jane and
herself. In this case they seemed to
have very good grounds for sympa-
thy. Bessie was a bOOkkeepeT in
mercantile house in the small town
and the bTeadWinneT Of the family.
Jane, Just out OF the grammar ScnOOl,
was learning the millinery trade, and
beginning to earn a little, while the
mother kept the home, sewed, mend
ed and did the thousand and one
things that unselfish women do, but

AS short capes are now quite the
latest thing in the way Of peltry

edged with some sort of cheap fur.
Capes are easy to make with the aid
of pattern, which can be purchased
1t almost any of the pattern depart
ments in the big stores, and a few
yards Of velvet, an equal number Of
yards Of silk for lining and a soft
flannel interlining to make the cape
sufficiently warm will be all that is
needed besides the fur for trimming
purposes.
A hat and even a muff to match are
within the possibilities open to the girl
who is clever with her needle and is
lot afraid Of trying something new.
The woman who wishes to appear
smartly CARRIED at all hours of the day
must invest in a tailor made suit of

one of the essentials of a smart ward.

ing more and more popularity. Blue,
green, red and purple are the colors
most often seen.
Festoons of lace are arranged ruff
f1e-like on some Of the new silk petit
coats.
Much millinery Is shown in brown
velvet. Whether the dye situation or
the swinging pendulum of fashionable
taste is responsible for this popular
ity nobody knows. At all events brown
is one Of the best colors of the win
ter.
Although Sam Browne belts ara
tabOoed in some sections as far as SOL
diers' apparel goes, they are increas-
ingly popular for women. They are
sold inexpensively and give the much
desired military aspect to the young
girls street costume.
Pongee silk, now that it is so diff.
cult to get silks Of European manufac-
ture, is more and more used and pre-
1ictions are made that 1t will be In
great demand next spring.
One Of the newest ideas Is pajamas
with hustle. This hustle is erected
with several -uffies Of wide ribbon:
fastened across the back Of the paia-
mas at the hip line.

SOME WINTER FASHIONS

Bead trimming is widely used on
many frocks and blouses of georgette
crepe. One especially lovely afternoon
frock is made of gray georgette, with
a deep overskirt edged with an inch
wide band Of blue bead embroidery.
The round-necked bodice and the long,
loose sleeves are likewise edged with
the same banding.
Flaring ornaments made of feath-
ers Of iridescent coloring are used on
some of the new velvet hats.
Flame color Is coming in for much
attention this season, especially for
evening wraps and gowns. It Is love-
ly color, especially in velvet or in net

Deep hens Of fur are used on frocks
of thin material.
Young girls frocks of serge or
some other heavy fabric are shown
with pique collars. On frocks for
women the white collar has been to a
large extent replaved by collaF of
colored linen or else .colored georkette
or chiffon. Dull blue is much used for
collars for navy blue frocks.

Some KNITTING Hints,

To Join yarn without knots: When
near the end Of yarn, insert the new
yarn in the eye Of a large needle;
stitch up the end of the old yarn for
an inch and half or more, withdraw
the needle, give the joined threads u
slight twist, and it is almost impossible
to find the joining.
Binding off stitches is very tedious
but may be done easily and uniformly
by the use Of crochet hook, crochet
