Mr.. Lee l.. Gilbert, Salem, Or.
Dear Sir: When bought my Elgrn
Siv from YOU several weeks ago, was
inclined to be skeptical in regard to
some of the claims made for it. but
they have been so fully proven in serv-
ice that I am more than satisfied with
the car.
Il is wonder in performance on
roughr country roads and a surprise how
easy il rides the bumps At thirty-five
miles per hour, which is as fast as I
have dared to go to date, never noticed
any vibration whatever. I am proud to
own the car and thank you for having
vour salesman influence me to buy sn
Elgin Six.
Yours truly,

girl across the hall let tantalizing
odors escape her doorway. Suddenly
go with his coffee.
AS he went swinging through his
doorway he almost collided With
Lydia, who stood just outside blush
ingly offering him tray containing a
generous share of her good dinner.
"Bread cast upon the waters" she
said smilingly. land the cranberries
you cast back into the bag have re-
turned to you. 1 just couldn't bear
not to share my Thanksgiving dinner
with some one" there was tremu-
lous catch in her voice. "And you
seemed to be as alone as I; will you
take this?" timidly.
"You are unspeakably kind" said
the young man, as he took the tray.
"And a wonderful cook BESIDES" inhal-
ing the odor of the tempting food. II
was coming over to ask you for some
cream on the chance that you'd be
neighborly, but didn't dream of such
a neighborliness as this"
Lydia caught the yearnlng glance
in his eyes as he looked through her
open doorway at the daintily set table,
and as she returned to that table there
were tears of gratitude in her own
eyes at the thought of having at least
shared some of her Thanksgiving with
another.
As for the young man across the
hall. he did some hard thinking as he
ate his lonely dinner. The drift of his
thinking was discernible afterward In
his muttered remarks as he stood with
his hands In his pockets and stared out
through the rain-rippled window ut the
reflection of the lights in the shiny wet
street below.
1.-THE way to a mans heart may be
through his stomach" he said. "I'm
not so sure of that; but the way to
cure taste for lone living Is to try
1t when you have neighbor as charm
ing as mine. I'm thankful I tried 1t.
but I'm quite convinced of Its folly.
And now to convince my neighborl"
And subsequently he succeeded in
convincing her.

A review of lovely evening gowns
made for the younger set, convinces
us that many n fair lady intends to
turn her back upon society this win
ter. Let us hope these backs will all
be comely and that society will be
l.egaled with lines that are beautiful
ind skins that are fair; for society is
going to have a chance to pass opln-
ion upon backs unadorned. 1t is said
that a beautiful back is the rarest of
natures gifts to fair women, and there
is fad for the almost backless bodice.
: A conservative example of the style
In an evening frock of shell pink, is
shown above at the right of the two
evening gowns pictured. Very wide
moire ribbon, matching the net in col
or, constitutes what there Is of foun-
dation for the bodice and Is featured
In sash with wide Alsatian bow
and long ends at the back, finishing
the wide loose girdle about the waist.
THE net is very full and draped over
a soft silk underskirt in cascades that
end in points at the bottom Moire
ribbon forms the foundation for the

front of the bodice and there is a
drapery of net over silk that extends
over the shoulders and Is lost under
the girdle at the front. Silks shot
with gold or silver make beautiful un-
dersliirts.
The frock at the left Is more youth
full and less sophisticated than the
net frock. 1t is made of georgette,
with fancy silk trimming stitched
in straight rows on the skirt and di-
agonally on the bodice. Soft net is
set in the "V'' shaped bodice and a
silk daisy chain Is charming detail
at the top of the short sleeve on the
right shoulder. The sash is of plain,
narrow satin ribbon with a rosette
and two short ends to finish it.
Matching with this prim little detail,
the skirt is restrained at the bottom
where it is gathered in and finished
with narrow. quaint-looking frill.

Gold or silver brocade and monkey
fur are responsible for many odd and
beautiful fancies in the realm of
dress accessories. They are very well
launched on n career that promises to
go on aspiring and climbing until it
blossoms out at the winter resorts in
the most imposing of fashion parades.
There is fOndness for glitter every
where-the fashion world has turned
its back upon all that is sedate or Sc
we're In styles wherever there is any
chance to be gay or splendid. Two
piece and three-piece sets give all
sorts of opportunity for using these
spirited elements of the styles.
Monkey fur and silver brocade make
the handsome turban and shopping
bag shown at the left of the two
matched sets illustrated here. The fur
makes n distinctive millinery trim
ming and takes the place of heron
aigrettes, which are not worn by
American women with sense of 10y
atty to the laws. 1t makes new

IN autumn dress accessories, scarfs
play the leading role and in scarfs
those of angora wool lead the others
in popularity. Angora collar and cuff
sets replace those of lace on street
suits and promise to grow more pop
ular ms cold weather advances. These
angora accessories are nearly all shown
in quiet colors, but there are few
vivid hues among the narrower scarfs.
The straight fur scarf-more or less
wide and lOng-has emerged from
brief exile to find itself more admired
than overland much more valuable in
money. There are many good imita-
tions of fur in scarfs of fur fabrics
that can be commended as just as
warm and serviceable and less expen-
sive. Besides these, marabout scarfs
and capes, and other neckpieces of os-
trich nues, add attractions to the as
sembage of neckpieces. All of this

both, and although the young man had
helped to recover the berries, he had
re-entered his apartment so abruptly
that Lydia was puzzled to know whetii-
er he was displeased or embarrassed
by the incident.
Just when Lydia's chicken reached
the right degree of brownness the
young man In the suite across the hall
completed the linking of the last lines
in the plans he was to enter in the
prize competition for a design for a
new public building. His deep sigh Of
satisfied relief at the finished task was
followed almost Immediately by the
thought that he was very hungry. He,
too, had fancy for cooking and had
taken the apartment that he might

portunity for study. the privilege OF
preparing coffee and eggs just to suit
his breakfast taste.

of the gas from the range before re-
moving dish, should become second
habit.
How many women leave the soap
floating in the dishwater while wash
ing the dishes instead of using the lit
tie economical soap shaker which holds
even the tiny bits? The same habit
is noticed when doing any cleaning
about the home, soap floating in the
scrubbing pail, instead of resting in n
dish where it can be easily reached
when needed.
China and all crockery is so costly
now that we must of necessity take
care of the household supply. When
washing dishes they are often nicked
or broken by striking the handles of
the pan; turn the pan so that the
handles are in front or n little ut the
side, out of range when handling the
dishes.
Use triplicate dishes on one burner
to save gas; the heat of the burner

"A stitch in time" and "a penny
earned are proverbs so well known
that 1t is trite to mention them, yet
we need to constantly remind our
selves that nickle Is the interest on n
dollar for year, and 1t is not parsi-
mony to save, but something of which
to be proud in these days OF costly
living.
If making ginger bread, add cup
ful of cold coffee instead of the boil

A small bit of butter, too small to
seem of use may be saved and when
six small bits are added, one will have
enough butter to season a dish of veg

kitchens.
