VARIETY OF WRAPS
Short Garments Are Made Like
Attenuated DoImanS.
Use Chiffon of New Egyptian Tissue,
Satin Lined or Trimmed With
Fur and Embroidered TulIe.

Every letter from Paris lays stress
upon the short wraps. They are made
like attenuated dolmans. They are
of chiffon, of the new glistening Egyp-
tian tissue, of satin-lined or trimmed
with fur and of embroidered tulle.
They resemble elaborated scarfs.
Some of them tuck in at the waist
line in the back and drop long in the
front; others go over the front of the
figure in surplice fashion, wrap around
the waist and tie with Il huge hustle
bow at the back.
They are worn in the afternoon over
thick frocks; they are worm in the
evening over half decollete frocks
they have taken the place of many
short, separate jackets for street
wear, and they are seen at all the
performances in the theaters and at
the opera, as well as in the restau-
rants. They are not removed. They
are intended as a half-concealing
half-revealing and altogether subtle
and attractive garment.
A will come into a restau-
rant with a dull lavender gown OF
satin, beaded and cut out half low al
the neck, with the arms bare from six
inches below the shoulders, and the
whole top of the figure and gown viii
be covered by a short, draped, shirred
wrap with sleeves of cOrnfiower blue
tulle, the ends of which may be
weighted with Chinese tassels in black
gold and yellow.
There are dolmans Of black satiI
lined with fur, and others that have
bands of kolinsky or ermine which
form a collar and outline the long
pear-shaped armhOles that often servt
without sleeves. And again ant
again, the fur or the Egyptian beaded
embroidery or metallic tissue is useC
to hold in these short wraps at tn,
waistline and to form a bow or end
at the side or the back.

CAPES NEWEST FASHION NOTE
Wraps Are Made for Actual and Unre-
hitting Service, as Far as the Outer
Coverings Are Concerned.

The ultra smart clothes that are
worn at the Fairgrounds of the South
are the straws that tell which way
the wind is blowing in the world of
fashion.
The cape is, really, the newest note
of the season as far as outer COW
erings are concerned. It is making
it's appearance more and more fire.
quently, observes a Palm Beach fash
ion correspondent. The most recent of
travelling capes has two or three dis
tinctive features which are worthy of
detailed notice.
The new capes are made for actual
and unremitting service, and, there
fore, have points of interest all their
own. They are, as a rule, cut circu-
lar-many yards, ever as many as five
around the hem, and a top that is cut
exactly to meet the closely fitting col
lar at the neckline. The collar then
is cut so that it rolls and folds about
as ones mood wishes it to do, fall
ing carelessly, gracefully, and broadly
owe the shoulders when the cape is
unfastened.
Others Of these travelling capes,
while they are still cut on circular
lines, have gathered at the neck, so
that they float away in more graduated
fold. But more often not, they are
void of the Jokes which were a strik-
ing feature of all the best winter
capes,

At he KNITTING Bee.

"Do you know how to change FROM
one color wool to the other?" asked
one girl who was evidently dying to
show off her new accomplishment.
you do it this way: Take the new
color wool and thread it through 8
darning needle, then u it along
through your wool with which you
have been knitting for about half an
inch.
eff you are going to use the new
color for any length it is better to
cut off the old wool and go On knitting
the new color, attaching the old color
again in the same way when you need
it. But if you are going to use them
alternately you do not need to break
off one color, but can carry it along,
simply knitting or crocheting over it
until you need it again.
"Of course, this would not do for
very fine work, where a strong division
of color was necessary, but 1 S it
in making my afghan, and it works
ever so much more quickly than
knots"

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

l have always been a believer in
home building as a potent factor in
making good citizens, and 1 admire
the man who is willing to deny him
self a little of the ready spending
money as he goes along and puts it
into a permanent home for himself
and his loved ones.
The home is the greatest of Ameri-
can institutions and the one on which
all the rest are builded.
By home l do not mean necessarily
an expensive, elaborate dwelling. The
humble cottage is just as truly a
nome, and represents just as much
courage and devotion on the part of
him who planned its building and car
ried the payments through to final
possession.
The point | want to make is this,
that even the small dwelling, the cot
tage, should be we'll and substantially
built If it is to be the source of sat
isfaction that rosy dreams had pic
tured.
When building, don't put up a
shoddy makeshift that the winds will
whistle through; nor a %carElessly built
t~iretrap that will easily burn down
and perhaps catch the family within
its smOldering ruins.
One of the most common causes OF
fires in dwelling houses Is defective
chimneys. In putting up a new house
see that the chimneys are right; OF
in buying q house already built, ex

HIGH COLLARS AT THE BACK
Indications Are That Paris Has Given
Up Effort to InfIict Either High
or Round-Neck-Line.

From the lovely lingerie blouses-
and those of %georgette crepe and chif-
fon as well-shown in the smart shops
and worn in smart places, we may
Judge that Paris has almost given up
her effort to infiict on the American
woman either the high collar OR the
rather unbecoming round neck-line, ac-
cording to a fashion correspondent. To
be sure some of the very smartest new
blouses have what is sometimes called
the slime of decapitation," but many of
the new blouses show a rather deep v
square, oval or round line in front with
a little turnover collar at the back
deity harmonized with the front, a
turnover that fits well up against the
neck, almost touching the lower line
of the hair. This line of collar, high
at the back and low at the front, is,
we all know, distinctly becoming to the
American woman.

the draft will be poor. If there is any
doubt in the owners mind about the
risk of fire from his chimney, the adj
vice of an architect should be followed.
This procedure may save the Owner
expense in the future and reduce the
possibility of fire to a minimum.
The accompanying siX-room cottage
is most substantially built, and is es-
pecially safe in regard to both fire
hazards and the penetration of cold
and wind. Concrete blocks with rough
stone face are used for the front porch,
foundation walls, and chimneys, Civ
ing an appearance of solidity that is
very satisfying.
This is a very sensible bungalow de-
sign. There is nothing about it to
run into money, but is kept simple,
straightforward, and good to look at.
A large living room with adjoining
front bedroom occupy the front of the
house. Then comes the dining room
kitchen, two bedrooms and adjacent
bathroom.
Above there is a good attic space
that can be utilized in many ways
The cellar way opens from the rear
hall near the kitchen door, which
makes it very convenient.
This house is the type that is Sc
popular in many city suburbs. 1t goes
nicely on q 30-foot lot.

Embroidered Chair Cover.

brown corded silk, and bound at the
edges with narrow ribbon of the same
color. 1t is lined with sateen, and
tapes are sewn on at the corners where
indicated.
The space enclosed in the dotted line
should correspond in size with the sur
face of the seat of the chair, and the
flaps should be large enough to entire
ly cover the sides. 1t is a good plan
prior to cutting out the material to cut
out a rough paper pattern from news
paper and fit it over the chair.
The design which appears upon the
cover consists of blossoms worked in
various shades of pale pink, separated
with leaves worked in various shades
of green.

'The prairie dogs" said Daddy, "are

FOOD VALUE OF CHOCOLATE
Seem Toe Little Attention Has
Hitherto Been Given.

In the recommendation for food con-
S%eryatiOn at home II article has been
considerably ignored. This fact is the
more surprising because of the articles
recognized value as a campaign and
outdoor food. Frederic C. Fenger, in
the account of his cruise, "Alone in
the Caribbean" gives an interesting
quotation from Pere Labat, the old
French missionary to Martinique at the
end of the seventeenth century: GAS
for me, l stand by the advice of the
Spanish doctors who agree that there
is more nOurishment in one of
chocolate than in half a pound of beef"
AS Labat was a genuine Partisan, his
opinion Of food is to be trusted. 1t
may be noted, also, that the chocolate
was sweetened with brown sirupy SUI
gar" During the Boer war it was
Queen Victoria who made chocolate
famous, so to speak, by sending to the
British troops quantities of the sweet,
ened cakes.

anime closely all the chimney 1ues.
If the chimney is not constructed
properly it would pay the owner to
build a new chimney rather than u
the risk of having the house destroyed.
Thousands of dollars are lost by fire
each year which could be saved if
proper attention were given to a few
simple rules governing the chimney
and connecting parts.
Fires may start in defective f1ues,
backs of ranges, under hearths and
in other places which are not in view.
Defective f1ueS aus a great many
fires of this kind and a little care in
building may prevent a catastrophe.
The chimney should be built from the
ground with a substantial foundation
of masonry. The foundation should
be at least a foot wider at all points
than the chimney. The use of wooden
brackets as supports should be avoid
ed, as they are liable to start fire
around the base of the chimney.
Experts advise that chimneys be
built at least three feet above fiat
roofs and two feet above the ridge of
pitched roofs. The horizontal clear
ance above the top of the roof should
be at least u feet. If these Sugges-
tons are observed the danger OF fire
from falling sparks will be greatly
reduced and an increased draft will
be obtained.
The construction of a separate fue
for each fire will lessen the liability
of Il cOnflagratiOn. Terra Gotta Innings
Of one-inch thickness may be used il
the lining is started a foot below the
lowest thimble. 1t is suggested that
a good shoulder be provided for the
first section of the tile to rest upon
In cases where there are two thimbles
in a single fue, a metal f1ue stoI
should be provided for one.
A chimney should not be offset a
the rOofline or on any floor to make 4
come out at the end of the roof or tt
conceal it in any closet. An over
hanging projection in a chime!
causes cracks in the roof at the mos
favorable spot for a fire to gain
good Roadway.
The walls of chimneys should be 81,
or eight inches thick and should b
constructed of cement mortar through
out. 1t is essential that the capStone
correspond in size to the flues, els

ON GUARD

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, l~istleSS, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the eXhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
eriShed blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the ~listless manner.
Drink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for a vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such a
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood

Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-

Burn Locomotive Cinders.

There has recently been completed
at Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany,
what is said to be the first large rail
road power station to be operated en-
tirely on locomotive cinders. Three
boilers are fired by automatic under
feed stokers and burn cinders, alone or
mixed with coal-dust. The cinders are
brought on a travelling electric crane
directly into the boiler room. Steam
produced with this fuel is employed to
drive two turbines that generate eur
in the station.-Popular Mechanics
