STOCKINGS TO MATCH SHOES
Knitted Hosiery Of Heavy Silk Much In
Demand for Wear With
Sports Clothes

Stockings this year are being worn
to match the shoes or the dress, but
more frequently the shoes. The taupe
color which was worn so much In
Paris last season has not attained the
same popularity here, and today the
popular fancy is either for black or
fer brown, fawn, gray or tete de Negro
OF these negre is undoubtedly the most
popular.
With sports clothes knitted stock
ings Of heavy silk are much In demand,
and these are invariably ribbed. Cash
mere hose IN heather mixture In the
one-and-One rib are much liked, but
the brightly colOred fieecy hose are
only q passing craze In some quarters
and will certainly not be universally
adopted.
That sports shoes this coming spring
will match in color the sweaters worn
with them Is a prediction recently
made by some Of the leading shoe
houses. but there are occasions Of
course for which they cannot be worn.

notices a great many bronze ones, Ell

Heritage Of the Middle Ages.
A second type OF topcoat is that I'm
which the mOyen-sge effect is carried
out. These are of long. straight cut
sometimes with a bodice part hanging
straight to just above the knees.
This very long-waisted effect, with

not always adaptable in a coat. Now
that coats have become so close akin

One French coat shows a full flOunce

of royal velvet down the right side
to the edge Of the coat, forming the

on one side of the coat only, are Of
royal blue silk.
Paillettes Grow in Favor.
The other coat. inspired by the dress
of the middle ages, is developed in
black duvetyn. which makes a very
smart tOpcOat. II is embroidered in
jade green and jet paillettes. The
use OF pailletteS this season Is most
pronounced. this form Of trimming be
ing featured by a large majority Of
the leading dresSmakers. Preference
is given to black paillettes, jet bugles
and Jet beads, but cOlOrs, too, are
often features. such as royal blue.
dark green, brown and white.
Evening wraps are very lovely.
Many OF them are in cape form and
are made Of brilliant colored velvets,
fur trimmed. These capes are straight
cut and wrap the figure closely, there
being very little fulIneSs. There are
a few capes cut to follow closely the
lines Of the figure. This sort Of cape
clips the shoulders like a coat and
hangs perfectly straight with no full
ness whatever.
A large number Of three-piece suits
have long coats that might almost be
worn as a separate wrap. Indeed, so
many Of the winter jackets are long
that II seems hardly worth while TO
call attention to their increased
length. One OF the very popular mod
els shows a three-quarter length semi
blousing jacket. The suit Is devel-
oped in navy blue duvetyn with peas

high mufling collars Of fur attached
to suit jackets. In this instance the
cape Is Of blue serge, while the collar is
Of seal. This cape covers the back
only. 1t does not extend over the
shoulders, as many do.
A coat from Lanvin features the
long cape back which is almost the
entire length Of the coat. A soft shade
Of gray duvetyn was chosen for this
model. There are trimming bands
Of green applique embroidery down
both sides Of the 'front.' also deep
bands Of the embroidery on the full

Cape Back Effects Feature Suit
The plated cape back, almost In
the form Of a panel, Is novel but not
likely to find the favor that the plain
cane backs have. Some Of the best
French makers feature the cape back
of fur, not only on long coats but on
short box coats, making these cape
backs the same length as the coat n
self.
The cape back effect on suits Is
also a noted feature. One very at

WHY APPARENTLY GOOD POP
CORN SOMETIMES WON'T POP

1t is a matter of common exper-
ience that pop corn varies greatly
with respect to popping. A lot of pop
corn may pop all right at one time
and not at all at some other time.
Again, a lot of apparently good pop
corn may not pop satisfactorily at
any time.
The two main requisites for good
popping are: Q) Good pop corn that
has a moisture content of about II
per cent; ~ heat sufficient to cause
the kernels to begin to pop in about
115 minutes.
A number of causes may interfere
with the popping of pop corn. The
principal ones are (D Having the
pop corn too dry; (2) having the heat
too great or not great enough; 90
harvesting pop corn before it had rip
ened; and (4) allowing pop corn to
mix with field corn or sweet corn.
Pop corn should ripen fully on the
stalk and should not be harvested un-
til the husks are white and the stalk
is dead and has lost its sappy cOndi-
tion. The ears should then be stored
in a cool, well-ventilated place. Small
wire crates are good receptacles in
which to store them. If stored in a
warm room in the house, the ears will
soon dry out so much that they will
not pop. Pop corn that has become
too dry for popping may be restored /
to condition again by putting it in a
cool and well-ventilated place, pre- /
ferably outdoors, for a few weeks. 1t .
should, however, be protected against .
mice.
Pop corn will of its own accord
take on or retain the right amount of
moisture under natural or suitable
conditions, as on shad-
ed porch on the north side of build
ing. Exposing the ears to the hot
sun for while will cause them to dry
Out too much for good popping. They
will also dry out too much in kitchen
Or other warm room. If pop corn
that has become too dry is wanted for
immediate use it may be improved
somewhat by sprinkling it with wa
-er before trying to pop it. Some
times pop corn that is too dry for
popping in a wire pepper over a
lame will pop all right in oil or
grease in a pan.
1t is not necessary to allow new :
,op corn to cure for half year be-
ore using it. If it ripens fully and
on the stalk, the ears can
,e used at once for popping. In the 4
lorth it should always be planted
arly so it will have the full season
n which to grow and mature. If plant
d so late in the spring that the fall 7
rosts kill the stalks before the pop :
Orn has ripened, then there is no way {
+ converting it into first-class ar

CHEERING SOMEONE ON

Don't you mind about the triumphs,
Don't you worry after fame;
Don't you -grieve about succeeding,
Let the future guard your name.
All the best in lifes the simplest,
Love will last when wealth is gone
Jusfbe glad that you are living,
And keep cheering someone on.
Let your neighbors have the blossoms,
Let your comrades wear the crown;
Never mind the little setbacks
Nor the blows that knock you down.
You'll be here when they're forgotten,
You'll be G lad with youth and dawn,
If you just forget your troubles
And keep cheering someone on.
There's lot of sorrow round you,
Lots of lOnesomeness and tears;
Lot of heartaches and of worry
Through the shadows of the years.
And the world needs more than triumphs,
More than all the swords we've drawn;
1t is hungering for the fellow
Who keeps cheering others on.
Let the wind around you whistle,
And the storms around you play;
You'll be here with Drawn and gristle
When the conquerors decay.
You'll be here in memories sweetened
If some souls you've saved from pawn,
f you put aside the victories
And keep cheering someone on.
