coat is straight, closing up the front
and split at the sides. A wider band
of braid across the back panel empha-
sizes the fact that it is longer than the
front, and the long fringed scarf slips
through straps set on at each side.
Thebe, and a plain belt that buttons in
the middle of the back, are new details
of making that are clever and attrac-
tive.
A blue suit. at the right of the pic
ture follows closely the style that has
been so successful during the summer,
with plain skirt and jacket with vest
front. This skirt also is wider than
those Of the passing season, but among
those that hesitate to grow shorter.
The collar and cuffs are ornamented
with a braid that Stimulates embrOi-
derry and band Of it heads the set-in
pockets at each side. A girdle with
lOoped-over ends, finished with long
silk pendants, matches the braid used
for decoration, and a vest of Amerl-
can Beauty fiber silk provide a happy
ending to the simple story of this
youthful model in between-seasons
suits. The taffeta hats shown with
them are of just the same character
that is, they are neither Of summer nor
winter, but of the times or climate be-
tween.

Proud DAUGHTER.

Rebecca, age eight. was very proud
Of her fathers rank as first lieuten-
ant, and grew quite indignant when
neighbor boy called him captain"
"I'll have you understand that my
daddy is not captain" she said, ''he's
a lieutenant"
"Oh, 1t doesn't matter" replied the
boy; "he is an officer"
Indeed he is not an officer" she
protested.

termined to maintain her daddy's dig
nifty at all cost, "'he's not much Of an

"When in doubt choose jersey"
Is good advice if new suit must be
bought in the late summer Certain
Of the arbiters of style are devoted to
this fabric and it is always represent
ed among the new models in suits that
make their appearance as regularly as
spring or fall approach. 1t led the
way for many of the new silk weaves
and silk fiber materials that have en-
croached on its popularity for summer
wear, but in wool it remains an ideal
demi-seasOn material. It's sOftness
and it's unmussable quality, together
with the fine way in which it stands
cleaning, are strong points in its favor,
altogether, the wool jersey suit is a
good thing to own.
Two models are shown above that
will be particularly interesting to
young women who must be QUILTED
now for school or college. The smart
suit at the left fOretells the cool days
Of autumn with collar and scarf of
angora, and has an original feature or
two that catch the attention. The
skirt is wider and shorter than those
that appeared in the spring and has
a wide, overlapping seam down the
back. It Is gathered in about the
waist line and finished with two bands
OF wide braid about the hem. The

PhlIoeophIe Loser.

He was cheerful philosopher. He
had just lost close game Of golf,
and his friends were sympathizing
with him.
"Don't smypathize with me" he said
"I've had great fun. 1t was a tough
match and I should like to have won
it, but don't overlook the fact that I've
had the joy Of a good game. Save
your sympathy for the poor devil who
can't get any pleasure out of a sport
unless he wins"
If that isn't philosophy we don't
know what is.

wise to carry large number of recipes
or proportions of ingredients in ones
mind, but the efficient woman will have
a card index, a notebook or chart on
which she notes the possibilities of va
rious small amounts of materials
which in other homes are thrown out,
left to spoil or are used carelessly In
foods so that their charm of flavor IS
lost
The pleasant thing about this system
is that it is always growing, new
dishes will occur to one and the list
will grow. Then when going to the
ice chest and finding a bowl Of chicken
broth, visions of all the savOry dishes
which may be seasoned with that sa-
worry food will be realized in some good
dish, as it takes but a moment to turn
to the recipe.
Another helpful convenience of the
card catalogue idea is to have the sys-
tenn carried out in other ways in the
household. Under linens put cards
labeled 'bed linen" on the card num-
bers of sheets, pillowslips, size and
where they are. This is not only
convenience when absent to pass on,
but in case of fire loss to give cor
rect inventory.
Attached to the medicine closet
should be card always where 1t can
be found at once, especially where
there are many little people, giving
first aids in case Of accident and an
tidotes for common pOisOns. The old
er children should be taught how to
use this knowledge, as often lives are
lost because nobody knew what to do
quickly. 1t is a frequently noted fact
that the people who know what to do
or where to 60 to find out, rarely take
time to go into Mysteries in an emer-
gency; they are too busy doing things.
Start card catalogue house and see
what pleasure it is to be method
lcal. 1t is not necessary to have an
expensive filing cabinet.

TO KEEP IN TOUCH
(Continued from Page One)

Therefore. if you will pardon me, as
am the senior Off cer in the division
from New England. / will send you
from time to time just what our move
ments are and what we think they vii
be in the future.
I'VE start today from our present
training area for what is called the en-
barhation center at lie Mans. 1t is ex-
rected. as far as we can find out now.
that we Will remain at the embarkation
center for at least six weeks.
If we then follow on schedule time,
the first elements OF the division should
move to the embarkaton port about
March eth.
We are liable to remain at the en-
barkation port for a week, so that the
first elements. if we are on schedule
time, should sail for home about the
18th of March and the movement Will
be completed in about two weeks time.
This would mean that our first ele-
mcnts would arrive in New England
about the first of April and or last ee
ments about the 18th Of April, and that
the whole division should be there b.
the 18th OF April, PatrlotS day.
1T may be that because of the delay
of the ships in crossing the ocean that
our whole movement will be a little
later than have outlined.
You may be interested to know that
the Yankee Division is still New Eng
land Division in spite Of its 1900 cas-.
ualties, and that we have 4s,3 per cent.
of the four infantry regiments. 7o3 re-
cent. of the three artillery regiments
and an average of 65,5 per cent. of the
remainder of the division, all New Eng
land men.

sion staff are from New England, as
