BRING AUTUMN INSIDE
THE HOUSE
BY JANE LESLIE KILT

WHEN you are motoring along some
W lonesome road or taking a walk
through the autumn woods, do stop and
gather Il few pods. The milkweed is
so lovely at this time and so abundant
along the fences on almost any country
road.
Try to gather them just before the
pods open. The heat of the living room
will open them and permit the beautiful,
soft, downy seed to escape. just few
of them in a dull brown or blue pottery
bowl will be charming.
When you gather these pods put on
heavy gloves and gather a branch of
thistles to place in a dull purple or
violet pottery bowl. You usually find
the thistle and milkweed growing side
by side Then if you go deep into the
woods INTO the silent places, where
Keats speaks of the sleepy twilight
dreaming the summer days away"

among the mosses and leaves, you will

Can This Be Love?

Dear Cynthia--Ye gods and little
fishes! Did some one ask you in last
evenings EVENING PUBIC LEDGER for
the definition of love! Since you left the
question for readers to answer, am
sending you few poems which ] have
selected from the many collected in my
scrap book First of all, can any one
doubt that love is the greatest thing
in the world?
Ask not of me. love, what is love?
Ask what is good of God above.
Ask of the great sun what is light.
Ask what is darkness of the night
Ask sin of what may be forgiven,
Ask what is happiness of heaven;
Ask what is folly of the crowd,
Ask what is fashion of the shroud;
Ask what is sweetness of thy kiss,
Ask of thyself what beauty is.
p. J. Barley (1S16 1902
Here is another poem by Il. Middle
ton (162O. This is his definition of
love:
Love is all on fire, and yet is ever
freezing;
Love is much in winning, yet is more
in losing
Love is ever sick. yet is never dying ;
Love is ever true, and yet is ever
lying;
Love does dote on liking, and is mad
in loathing;
Love indeed is anything. yet indeed is
nothing.
o, love, love, love-
Love is like dizziness.
1t Wilma let poor body gang about
his dizziness.

their love in these lovely poems.

SOMETIMES, no matter how care
7 fully we plan, it will happen that
an unexpected guest will arrive
when the actual preparations for the
dinner are so far under way that it
will be almost impossible to make
change without displaying to the
guest that his unheralded appear
ance has caught US mapping.
The emergency ration in the navy
Is for time of great need, so, too,
the housewife must learn to provide
emergency rations in her pantry
that can, with few minutes prepa-
ration, be turned into splendid meals.
To apologize for makeshift meal
when a guest descends upon us at
mealtime means that we are not
keeping up to par.
Many housewives who have pur-
chased some of the government foods
know how delicious the canned meats
are and how quickly they can be pre-
pared. The cans are full of juicy,
tender, delicious meat without waste,
fat or bones, and every bit of it can
be utilized.
Some Emergency Dinners
Start right now, if you have not
been using the delicious little pick
ups at the beginning of the meal;
they are known as hors d'oeuvres to
the French and tidbits to the Eng
lish.
To prepare these dainty bits, it
need not materially increase the cost
of the meal, and it is a very good
way to utilize the small amounts of
food that are left over and are too
small to utilize otherwise. For in
stance, a tablespoon of any vegetable
may be used for this purpose. In
fact, no amount is too small, as 1t
always can be combined with onion,
parsley and little seasoning.
The use of hors d'oeuvres will
piece out plain meal, giving it an
elegance all it's own. For variety It
may be canape of some kind or a
vegetable pickle or Italian relish,
which is made by serving on small
bread and butter plates two or three
vegetables and bit of sausage or
highly seasoned leftover meat.

Rather lavish in the use of fur is the
suit with the ripple GOAT shown here
more lavish in fact than most of the
suits this season. For pelts are scarce
and high and the more usual type of suit
shows no fur whatever on the lower edge
of the coat, or else fur only in the back
or on the sides. But the designer who
planned this suit knew that the effect
she wanted to produce could be pro-
duced only by accentuating the ripple
coat peplum with seal fur-so seal fur
it had to be. The effect is decidedly to
make the figure under the coat appear
slender and 1.-THE.

seal, while the sui. itself is of velours.
