BuckWheat and Cakes.

Even though there is great satisfac-
ton at the breaking of five crop records
in the United States this year, many
an American must heave a sigh as he
reads that the buckwheat crop has
never exceeded the production of 1866,
and that this season il is 100000
bushels below the top yield of that
year. Who does not know that the de-
cline of the buckwheat cake as the
backbone of hearty breakfast is the
cause of the falling off?
The buckwheat cake was once an
American institution. 1t followed the
pioneer from the Atlantic coast into
the depths of the Middle West. It's
allies were homemade sausages and
sugar-house syrup. 1t held the lines
from early November until the sap be-
gan to run in the spring. Then there
followed plentiful doses of sulphur
and mOlasses TO rid the blood of inn
purities supposed to be the result Of
buckwheat's heating qualities. But
who cared? Wasn't the kind of cakes
that mother used TO bake on the SOAP
stone griddle worth even such a price?

GRAY SEEMS TO BE POPULAR
Color Is Used in Furs and Fabrics
New Fur Called Siynx is
introduced.

Gray seems TO be the most popular
color, both in furs and fabrics. There
is new fur called slynX, an imitation
krimmer, which is very much in the
foreground. Then come mole. beaver,
kolinsky and very little ermine and
seal. The fur Is mainly used as facing
for hats of panne velvet or brocaded
satin. The little CoSsack turban Of
fur is suppanted by combination tur-
bans of fur and ribbon or brocade. A
cOquettish model of mole skin is be-
decked with luStrous, travelled edge
scarf of taupe MORE ribbon. The
small turban or tam Is very popular
as to shape. The most exclusive shops
are adapting the turban TO the
Egyptian outline and are showing the
high. helmetlike front One PGris firm
develops this outstanding, off-the-face
front into a starfish shape. The hat
is Of black panne velvet and the star
fish is fashioned from jet. Little tams
made of velvet are very popular when
trimmed in fur balls.

Catch Salmon at Sea.

Fishing for salmon is prohibited at
the present time in nearly all the
rivers of Alaska and altogether in the
southeastern part of the territory.
Meanwhile the fishery goes on; but
it is marine fishery. The salmon
are caught on their feeding grounds
out at sea with purse seines. gill nets,
floating traps and fish lines.
Trolling for salmon is great sport
and is particularly fine off the straits
of San Juan de Fuca.
Unfortunately. very many OF the
salmon captured at sea are not yet

Winter Days Bring Out Smartest
Gowns Of Season-Dolman Wraps
to the Fore.

The crisp winter days call out
smart frOcks, among which gray and
black are prominent. At the luncheon
and tea hour at the fashionable hotels
one sees the smarteSt gowns of the
season. One particularly smart one
was of black eggshell crepe, with a
short full skirt and plainly fitted
bodice and tight sleeves. Narrow Jet
fringe edged the deep V front, the
shoulder collar at the back and the
wrists, while fringed sash of black
bead netting encircled the hips With
this costume was worn black suede
strapped French boots, black suede
gloves and a small fiat turban of mon
key fur.
Another costume which attracted
attention consisted Of a skirt of henna

ing brocaded crepe smock. edged with
black felt daisies of cut work, a black
velvet turban with side trimming of

design.
Dolman wraps have come 10 the
fore as the most popular form of wrap.
They are chiefly worn for dress occa-
sions. while fur coats of the shorter
lengths are preferred for sport wear.

ian.
Long before midnight they began to
come. In the light Of the pickering
candles on the white altar and the
few lights shining on the white ceiling
of the gallery one saw two or three
well-dressed women sitting in the pews
on one side and two or three men on
the other, and wondered whether ii
were worth while keeping the church
open and two policewomen in attend
ance for so few wanderers But the
sound of heavy breathing, so loud in
the silence, did not come from them,
nor was the lad in khaki who lay
asleep in the bottom Of n pew, his head
resting on a hassOck, responsible.
Tiptoeing down the long aisle TO the
end, where a man knelt in prayer be-
fore the wreath of palms entwined
with crimson ribbon, which was to go
TO the cenotaph, one found that there
were sleepers on the seats of nearly
every pew. Occasionally they wax
ened and peered sleepily over the back
of the pews as newcomer entered.
Then they sank to rest again, while
the stranger after few hesltant min
utes sitting bolt upright as If at serv-

was fast asleep.

After midnight a young woman from
Lancashire came in, carrying a heavy
child. She said that all day she had
sought in vain for lodgings. No one
would take her in because Of the baby,
and at last a kindly policeman had
sent her here. As she sat there hold
ing the child her shoulders moved I'M
easily. One saw that she had come TO
the end of her endurance, and a po-
licewoman, folding a thick coat, made
up bed on the pew for the preternat-
urally well-behaved child. Then the
mother went TO sleep secure of shelter
till five in the morning, when the wait
ing rooms at Charing Cross would be
open to her. The older women. the
mothers of soldiers, glanced around
from time TO time, but were evidently
determined not TO yield to their ia
tigue. They would sit the night
through. The rules are simple. Peo-
pie are allowed TO make use Of the
church for one night. In case of emer-
gency a second visit may be allowed,
but no more.
