The fall frocks resemble those of
spring when it comes to the mat
ter of length and width and lines.
which means that the extremely
simple frock with a long slender
silhouette will persist during. the
coming season. Again the smart
one-piece frocks will vie with suits
for first place as street and, informal
costumes. When worn with. a large
hat and a smart fur collar, cape or
stole there isI really nothing more
satisfactory for restaurant wear than
a duvetyn or velour cloth frock:
This gown is of dark blue velour
cloth with a touch Of light blue chif-
fon relieving the plainness at the
neckline. Two bands of heavy en-
broidery encircle the skirt and it
may be noted. here that embroidery
will play a big part in all the frocks
and suits Of the coming fall and
winter season. An unusual touch is
added by the two inverted folds at
the waistline. These inverted folds have
been very popular ass trimming dur
ing the spring and summer and now
one is beginning to expect them or
at the neck, or hem, or hips, or per-
a frock some place OF other, either

Dear Patrons:
On August 1 We adopted the Cash
and-Carry plan in our meat business,
thinking that it would help in a meas
ure to combat the high cost of living.
We did it from a desire to be of serv-
ice to our customers.
But to our great surprise we find
that the large majority of those who
have been. patroniz:ng us do not like
this plan. Our telephones have rung
continuously since the first Of the
month. and on nearly every occasion
it has been to enter a complaint when
we informed the customer that we
could not deliver his meat. I'VE
simply cannot get down town, and we
prefer to pay the delivery Charge is
what they tell us.
Because Of these urgent requests,
and the unanimous expressions that
the delivery system is best, we shall!

The BOdleinn
Library

Sir Thomas Bodley himself drew
up the statutes" for the famous
library founded by him, and opened
in 16os, and his orders were that
the keeper shall open and close
the library doors at certain hour,
varying with the season. and tba,
at these prescribed hours he shall
cause to be rung the warning bell
OF his ingress and egress, that man
may shun the discommodlties ~,
repairing thither oversoon, or abid-
ing there too long"
The keeper was to see that a rep
lister OF gifts should be kept, writ
ten with a special, fair and p1eas-
ing hand, and withal to be exposed
where it hay be still in sight. for
every man to view, as an eminent
and endless token of our thankful
aeceptation of whatsoever hath
been given, and as an excellent in
ducement for posterity to initiate
these former good examples"
The founder ruled that before
any graduate or any person of note
would be given the privilege of the
Bodieian Library he should apnear
before the vice chancellor or hi,
substitute. and there in the pres
ence Of the library keeper he should
take the oath OF fidelity to the
library, by which he promised that
he would conform himself with
modesty and silence and use both
the books and everything amer
tanning TO their furniture with n
carefui respect to their longest con-
servation."

her resolution not to "sit and
NOPE" while Hugh Rodney
was away.
Always fond OF society. this au-
tumn she seemed to enjoy II more
than ever. Ruth was sometimes
bored by teas, dances and rccep-
tions. Not so her sister.
Ruth is younger than I am, yet
she actually behaves as II she were
older" Doris confded one evening
TO VIII Dayton, with whom she
was dancing. Don't you think
she is very grave for her age?"
Young Dayton hesitsted before
answering. why, no. I do not"
he said at last. a flush OF embar-
rassment on his face. Il think she
is quite natural"
Doris smiled to herself She had
suspected that this fellow wa. In
love with Ruth, and his words con-
frmed her suspicion.
We'll, she is a dear. anyway
even il she is wiser and more Sc
date than l am" she commented.
The man said no more and Doris
was rather glad when the fox-trot
ended and VIII Dayton claimed
Ruth for the next waltz. Doris
watched her sister and felt a
slight pang Of pity for the man
when his eager greeting brought
no flush OF pleasure to Ruth's face.
Doris, on her part, turned TO well
come Ralph Norton, her partner
for this dance.
II am glad to have you after Mr..
Dayton" she smiled. He bores me
stiff"
He does not bore Miss Ruth"
Norton remarked. II have been
wondering II they are going to
make a match OF it,"
"Oh, l don't know" Doris said.
II rather hope that Ruth will not
decide too soon on the man she win
marry. II is a bit OF a mistake
isn't it?-for a girl to be engaged
fast and firm too early in the ac-
tion. II is always possible that she
may change her mind, you know
Without seeming to do so, she
cast a scrutinizing glance at her
companion. She saw the grim
clenching OF the teeth, under the
dark mustache, and felt a thrill
of satisfaction at this outward evil
dence OF his inward perturbation.
81 wonder how much you know
about that" he asked very low.
Perhaps you will honor me by Civ
ing me your confidence some time"
Purposely she had led him on TO
wonder il she were engaged. Not
by open assertion, but by sugges-
tions that had awakened his alarm
and curiosity.
For she knew that he was falling
in love with her. The knowledge
was agreeable. Surely the fac,
that she was betrothed TO Hugh
Rodney did not mean that other
men must avoid her. II was not her
fault IL they succumbed to her
charm. Yet, OF course, she loved
Hugh best of all.

Candies For
Christmas
By Loretto G. Lynch.

7 HOLIDAYS without candy
n would be a great disappoint-
ment, indeed, especially TO
the little folks who look forward to
this season with such great enthu-
siasm. But with the general ad-
vance in the cost Of all commodities
the candy shops have had to ad-
vance their costs until shop candy
Is almost beyond many purses.
The housewife, however, who de-
sires to make some simple candies
for the youngsters can do so at a
fraction of the cost of the shop
candles. But they must be simple
candies, for the average home
kitchen is not suited to the prepara-
tion Of the more elaborate candies
seen in the better shops. Nor Is
the average housewife equipped
with knowledge and the skill to
make these candies.
And SO IL you must have the very
elaborate candles, buy them. But IL
you are satisfied with the simple.
candies. by
all means try these.
Parsian Sweets.
Chop together equal parts OF Ess.
dates, raisins, prunes and nut
meats. Moisten slightly with lerlon
juice Form into little balls with
the hands and roll in prepared
shredded cocoanut.
The fruits used in these may be
scalded with boiling water and
then dried well before chopping.
Seeds or stones should be removed.
Some prefer to omit nuts and roll
the little balls into the finely
chopped nut-meats at the end.
Chocolate-covered fruits may be
made quite successfully at home.
Most any of the canned fruits may
be used-pineapple squares, cher
ries, berries, etc. The sweetened
chocolate sold in bars at the shops
is used for this purpose. Plain
chocolate or milk chocolate may be
used. Melt half a pound of bar
chocolate in the top of double
boiler. To IL add one teaspoonful
of shaved parafine wax. Mix well.
The wax will help the chocolate to
stick to the fruit. Drain fruit
from syrup and dry 1T off. Clean
blotting paper Is good for this pur-
pose. Use a sterilized hat pin or
knitting needle for the dipping.
Some pieces will have to be dipped
several times. Set to dry on
Nut meats may also be dipped.
Sections Of sweet bananas or other
fresh, sweet fruits may be dipped.
AS the fruits come from the choco-
late pot they may be busted with
chopped cocoanut.
Molasses cocoanut balls are de-
licious and not difficult to prepare.
Boil a cup of real molasses until
little dropped into cold water
forms a soft ball. A bit of butter
may now be stirred in IL desired.
Keep the molasess saucepan over
hot water to prevent hardening.
Make the shredded cocoanut into
balls, and with the aid OF two sill
yer forks dip them into the mo-
lasses. Dry on waxed paper.
II you can get some sugar, either
brown or white, the latter prefer
ably. try some peanut brittle.
PEANUT BRITTLE.
OnS pound sugar: half cup shelled
roasted peanuts or more: half tea
