if we examine the records of early invention, it is amazing to find how many useful labor savers were first created by women.
 Moreover, not all of these devices were concerned with housekeeping, For example, horse -shoeing machine which saved s32,000,00e in the IA years of its use was invented by a woman. A combined reaping and moving machine was invented by a woman although the patent was talk en out by her husband. A furnace for smelling ore, a fire escape, a pro- cess for burning petroleum to gener- ate steam a device to deaden the noise of the elevated roads in New York, and many others were originated by women. Of course, there are innu- merable small articles for the home

easily we blind ourselves to what
 is really going on ana get careless and callous about it. When I see myself
 in these military things it keeps re- ] minding me that 1t is wartime I feel. closer to the wartime demands and in keeping with the spirit of to- day if my clothes are less frilly."
 On the other hand, some women absolutely refuse to wear clothes with
 a military touch. declaring that it's a travesty on the uniform. They
 have some orthodox ideas on the sub
 ject and want all women to regard the military uniform as something sacred and apart and tdN be used only by those engaged in military service. There is much to be said on both sides, and certainly one feels sympa- thetic with this point of view when seeing some of the superficial type of girls who are doing practically nothing in the way of war work, yet trap themselves out in every kind of military appendage that fashion per mits.
 The costume here shown is typically military, and striking in its color com bination-navy blue, with a splash of scarlet velvet at the waistcoat. The material used is blue tricotine and as the coat is rather elaborate, the skirt l is a perfectly plain affair." Black military braiding is used across the front with black embroi- dered soutach buttons. The belt is black satin with a large embroidered buckle of black.
 Most interesting in this gown is the | vest of the coat. It extends across the front of the coat below the belt l and is of scarlet velvet-with pur- pie cast that blends beautifully with
 the deep blue. It is embroidered in navy blue soutache.
 A deep edging of black fox fur fin ished the bottom of the coat, and in order to permit the. coat to drape gracefully to the figure, instead of sticking out by virtue of the heavy fur, the coat is open at the back from the belt down.
 ! This is very striking military cos ltume-almost amounting to one of the brilliant uniforms that one occasional ! ly sees among foreign officers. AS the coat is quite elaborate, it must l be offset by the simplest of close-fit- 1 ting turbans in blue, with tall,
 slender fancy to relieve its simplic-
 ity.

 Several requests have come in for the making of ripe cucumber pickle. The recipe is as follows:
 Cut cucumbers in halves lengthwise. Cover with alum water. Allow two teaspoonful powdered alum to each quart of water Heat gradually to boiling point, then let stand on back of range two hours. Remove from alum water and chill in ice water. Make a syrup by boiling f1vem inutes, two pounds of sugar. one pint of vine gar with two tablespoonful each of whole cloves and stick cinnamon tied in a piece of muslin. Add cucumbers and cook 10 minutes. Put in ster- ;lized jar, pour over the hot syrup and seal
 Melon rind may be preserved sim ilarly. Pare and cut rind in strips. Allow one pound of sugar to each pound of fruit and one cup of water to each pound of sugar. Proceed as with cucumbers.
 Sugarless Sweet Pickle-Two cups corn syrup Oight or dark), one cup vinegar, two level tablespoons mixed spices.
 Simmer the fruit in this syrup until tender, store in glass jars, pouring the syrup over the fruit A very ex- ce1lent syrup for any sweet pickle fruit.
 To alleviate the sugar situation the City Home Economics committee has bought a barrel of light corn syrup and will put it on sale Monday, Oct. [ Those desiring to purchase this syrup are to bring their containers, prefera- bly glass quart cans to have them filled. One quart holds three pounds of syrup. This will. be sold at req sonable price.

'It is difficult at this early date" said an authority in the women's ready-to-wear industry yesterday, ito predict whether this is to be a coat or a suit season. The fact that buyers for the large retail stores of the coun- try have shown a slight preference for suits fin their later business might be taken as an indication of what is and is, not to be. but the purchasing public Is after all, the final arbiter in such matters. And, in this respect, it Is reported that retailers have dispos-
