PADS AND FASHIONS

Organdy frocks in two tones are fashionable.
 Prospects are bright for draped veils.
 Beaded girdles are much in evil dence.
 The new three buckle oxford Is smart.
 Dresses of changeable taffeta are draped with tunics of lace or net and are laced trimmed.
 Set-in kimono and raglan sleeves are seen in the new show fngS of coats. English sports coats show a pref erence for bright coIors.
 Brown is the most talked-of color for fall. Gray and navy and brighter shades will be used also, of course.
 Irregular peplums on blouses are the thing, so far as Paris is con- cerned.
 Duvetyn hats for fall have been shown to many admirers. They are shown in a wide color range of strong shades and are embroidered in French knots or bonaz work.
 Virtually all the furs and fur coats have enormous collars.
 A new weave in underwear IS something on the order of a crepe and has a durable body of a radium weave.
 For juveniles nutria coats with "tans' to match are going to have a large following.
 Blouses in unrelieved navy still persist in popularity. High-class suits are trimmed with lavish embroideries in floss, chenille and combination effects.
 A special favorite among sports costumes is a combination of white and marigold.

WOMEN AND THE LEAGUE.

During the long and tedious pro- ceedings in the Senate, when the suf- frage amendment was up for con- sideration and final action, two wo- men who are old friends were sitting 'side by each" talking politics, as they come from widely separated sec tions of the country. One of them is a well-known Democrat from a vot- ing state, the other, equally well known, represents a state with no suffrage. The Democrat has always thought of her friend as a Republi- can of deepest dye, and said so in the course of the conversation.
 But I am not a Republican" re- sponded her friend quickly. I'm not sure what I am-except that I'm not going to follow Lodge and Penrose and Brandegee. If they are to be the Republican leaders, I can't go with that party, for 1t will not be headed In the direction I want to go. You sec. I was a pacfiist, and I hate the very idea of war. I think the manu- facture of muninitions should be taken out of the hands of individuals. If nobody had any direct monetary interest in war. I think 1t should stand in far less danger of wars. l don't mean just the United States. but all cfyll1Zed cOuntrleS.
 Then you must be in favor of the League of Nations ?" said her friend.
 "Of course I am,' she said quickly. T think practically all the women in the country are for it., What if it isn't perfect? Didn't our own Con- stitution have to be amended a dozen times within a year or so after its adoption Yes, and haven't we been coming up here year after year trying to get 1t amended some more. so as to do justice to women7 Thank good ness, we shall not have to come again after today.
 Women don't expect perfection. We all know things we would like to have done in our own homes-sleep- ing porches and open plumbing. and building an addition or a piazza now and then, o- tearing down something that is no longer needed-but it's bet ter than living in a tent. When we rent a house that doesn't suit, we know we can move into a better ono when we can find it. or maybe save up enough to build, but we want a roof over our heads.
 That's the way feel about the League. It is a roof over us when the storms come. It may leak in a few places, but there is some chance of

 Wy yes, I bleeve so, I bleeve some of our feeding sitizens eat orindges and continue to be JesA as feeding, sed pop.

 Cant you put that question in less legal and complicated form? sed pop. and I sed, Is a soft orindge bad for you?

Grfddlc Cakes.

Dear A New Veader-I will tell you how I make my griddle cakes or fritters, which are not tough, as you say yours are. Take pieces of stale bread and soak them in sour milk or buttermilk until soft, then mash with a spoon very fine. Must have the batter thin to add flour. Then add egg, beaten, 1-2 teaspoon of soda for each cup of sour milk used, and pinch of salt Sift in flour enough for q thick batter. You can tell by trying a little in the pan. I never make any others. Fine with maple syrup.

BED TRIMMINGS,

Just for the sake of a change, have different bedspreads to use in sum- mer time. As far as weight and ac- tual warmth is concerned there will probably be no great difference be tween these and the bedspreads used the rest of the year, but they will make a pleasant change.
 The little dimity spreads are too well known to need any description and the ease with which they can be laundered has made them very pop ular. But there are other ideas which are decorative and may be inexpen- sively developed. Unbleached mus lin, for instance, makes an ideal back ground for the appliqued flower de- Isign of plain colored ginghams which is so much liked. Cross-stitch work is remarkably effective on the rich cream tint of the muslin
 Another way to utilize this adapt able material is to make a. four-inch 'border of checked or plain gingham This should be about one inch wide when finished and ten inches in diam eter. Inside this ring place your in itials shaped to fit the circle. The same kind of monogram, in smaller size, should be on the long bolster throw. The gingham trimmings can be stitched on by machine and make a very attractive finish. A set-in green and white checked gingham is particularly cool looking.
 Heavy scrim, with a pattern worked in alarming stitch, somewhat on the order of filet, is much liked by some housewives. And for a very thin and dainty bed set use lowered lawn or voile with little frills at the edges Dotted Swiss or white snowflake voile is very pretty also. In fact, anything

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Do not use corn meal or tea leaves ir sweeping carpets. The corn meal has been known to attract water bugs if not very carefully swept up, while tea leaves unless well washed are Ha- ble to leave a stain. If anything is used. it Is better to use small pieces of newspaper well dampened and sprinkled about the floor
 Clothes dried slowly are winter than those dried quickly.
 To prevent white fabrics such as evening gowns or lace from becom- ing yellow when packed away, sprink le bits of white wax freely among the folds.
 To remove the smell of fresh paint, put a pail of cold water in the room and change it every two or three hours.
 To take white spots from vanished furniture hold a. hot stove lid or plate over them and they will soon disap pear.
 Try holding salt water in the mouth after having a tooth extracted, and it will stop the bleeding.
 Do not attempt to remove a label from cloth by wetting it. Simply draw the cloth in a bias direction, first one way then the other. and it will come off quickly, leaving the clean and without injuring the cloth fabric.
 Put salt on the fingers when clean ing fowl, fish or meat. It will keep the hands from slipping.
 Turn on the cold water faucet and hold the onions under 1t while peeling them. You will be able to continue the task indefinitely without shedding tears.
 The shine can be removed from dark serge garments by spoEging them well with hot vinegar and press ing in the usual manner. If the cake drops down in the cen- Ire the dough is too rich-use less sugar next time. If it rises too much the dough is too thick. The empty spools will come in | handy if you are going where there are only nails to hang your clothing on. Slip the spools over the nail and the garments will have a good sup port.
 A good dishcloth Is made from mosquito netting. Take a quarter yard and fold it to desired size then stitch it with the machine or tack it | the same way that a comfortable is made.
 l
 If you keep the doors and windows closed while filling the preserving l jars you will cut off the draft and | thus minimize the danger of break age.

keeping dry under it, and without it we are just where we were in 1914, with the whole world being drawn into the whirlpool.
 No, told our Republican Ma tional Committeeman that he might just as we'll take his oh oice-women and the League, or. if he wasn't will fig to stand for the League, he could give up the women, and stick to the tarin or some such old stuff as that. that we are all tired of and have been for years.
 NO, in my state-and 1t is so with women from all over the country who have talked with me-the first thing. the main thing, is to prevent war in the years to come.

A NEW PINK"

Because of the difficulty formerly experienced in the manufacture of false teeth plates in obtaining a nat- ural-looking pink rubber that w1s also sufficiently resilient and strong enough to hold the pins of artificial teeth, it was usual to employ a base plate rubber of red, maroon, brown or some other color, and veneer ie with another rubber nearer the color of the gum tissue but not having the qualities required in the base plate.
 The new pink denture rubber" possesses tensile strangth, density and residence, as well as the natural pink color of the gums throughout. It is easily packed by hand in the un- vulcanized state and vulcanizes and polishes by the ordinary methods Varying tones of pink can be obtained by exposing the finished plat to sun light, the process being called solar ization. Of this rubber the entire plate can be made in one piece.
