Reddy Fox Begins to Suspect.

The sight Of Jerry Muskrat sitting

was a great relief to Reddy Fox. You
see he had been afraid that Jerry
wouldn't be there as he had agreed to
be. But he was there and that could
mean but one thing-that he was
ready to go for those carrots. So
Reddy's greeting was very pleasant
and hearty.
For minute Jerry Muskrat didn't
reply and when he did he mumbled
He mumbled very much as if his
mouth was filled with something
Then he swallowed hastily and after
this his voice was quite clear
I'm sorry to disappoint you. Reddy

to go for those carrots today. 1t is

VELVET AND WHITE EMBROIDERY
By ANNE R1TTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, October Is, 191S.-ve1-
vet and velveteen are prime factors
In apparel this autumn. They will
probably dominate all other fabrics
during the winter.
Velour is still considered q debat-
able material. twill be worn, but it
has not reinstahed itself in the con-
ndence Of the majority. There are
high priced houses that sound a note
Of warning to their favored patrons
about having gowns made of velours,
II they are to see steady service. II
one buys this material it must be
guaranteed by the shop, or disaster
may be lurking around the corner.
Afternoon Dressing Today.
One feels safer with velvet and vel
veteen. especially the latter. 1t comes
in admirable oolors this winter. and
especially in various shades Of brown.
from seal to snuff. Black velvet, not
velveteen. is offered for afternoon
gowns, although women shrug their
shoulders at the use of this adjective
in connection with apparel. They
claim that afternoon gowns are taboo
for the duration of the war. and yet.
while they say this, they wear gowns
for luncheon that would have been
considered, in pre-war days, as the
height Of luxury.
In New York, where the restaurants
are more crowded than ever before in
tho history Of the city, owing to the
influx of soldiers and their families,
as we'll as the various war activities
Of thousands Of women who hereto
fore lunched at home. there is an at
tempt at formal dressing that sur
passes all other seasons. The deep
decoletage is exploited at 1 o'clock
in the afternoon, and there are many
occasions when q fur coat hides this
decolletage until 2, when it reappears,
at dinner and the play.
AS the theaters are as crowded as
the restaurants, owing to the same
combination Of wartime circum-
stances, there is a great amount of
this same type of formal dressing
which does not deepen into the bali
gown. but is more brilliant than was
expected.
Embroidering Velvet With Wool.
The house of Doucet is one of the
most famous in Paris for what is
known as elegant apparel. an express
sion which has been SO detected from
its original meaning by slang that one
hesitates to employ it in this country
with the same familiarity that is ac
corded it In France. Over there it still
has its original meaning and is used
in the most polite society; over here
1t has gone the way Of many other
choice English words and has even
lost its value as slang.
Doucet, therefore, sees in black vel
vet one of the best expressions Of the
formal frock that can be worn from
IL o'clock noon to IL o'clock midnight
He embroiders 1t with wool in order
to justify it's existence in the street.
The sketch shows q frock Of it made
in his best style and which has been
eagerly accepted in this country.

rots. All I agreed to do was to be
right here at sun-up this morning and
here 1 am. If there is any one thing
pride myself on it is in being true
to my word. I really had other busi-
ness to attend to but I said I would
be here and here am. Now If you
will excuse me I'll be going. Come
again when I'm not so busy"
With this Jerry dived into the Smil-

A canned fruit sauce may be made
thus: Take the sirup from any sort

thicken with a tablespoon Of arrow
root that has been blended with a lit
