and cinnamon; half a teaspoon

Of a red pepper, sliced after re-
moving the ends; one small quart
of vinegar. Choose large, smooth,
meaty tomatoes; peel and cut in
two once; remove as many OF the
seeds as you can conveniently;
cook thoroughly; put through a
sieve; return to the kettle and
cook about two hours; add the
vinegar and spices, and cook about
an hour longer: then seal in
bottles or put in cans; it is better

Choosing the Autumn Colors

that were brought out by dress
makers in recent seasons but that
were prevented from wide accept
ance because of their general lack
of becomingness.
Roi or Kings blue is a bright
shade Of blue that dressmakers
and milliners have used somewhat
this autumn. 1t is by all means
the predominant blue. It is be-
coming to women with blue eyes
and fair skins-a rare type in
France.
Very little all red has been
chosen by leading dressmakers.

or raspberry red has been used by
milliners and somewhat by dress
makers.
Shades of yellow are still
favored for evening gowns. yell

Gray will not be one of the So
called popular colors, but be sure
of this: 1t will be a very wise
selection for the woman who wants
to keep out of the beaten path.
Some of the smartest establish
ments are suggesting its use TO
women who avoid the usual.
Wraps and suits showing gray
with fur are especially desirable.

1WEATERS are usually re-
- garded as fashion extremely
useful in summer time. We do
not realize how valuable the
sweater may me made as part Of
the winter wardrobe. For a great
many women who do not dress for
dinner save to put on something
fresh and attractive, pretty
sweater of a bright or light color,
worn with separate skirt. makes
a pleasant change when one is go
ing TO remain at home. IL your
house is not very warm, sweater
may combine the advantage OF
bright or light colors and snug
warmness. And especially so this
year when our houses will prob
ably be cooler than usual.
The sweater is also OF great help
to the housewife who wishes to
retain the habit Of wearing cotton
dresses throughout the winter.
When she starts her duties before
breakfast time, the house is prob
ably cool. She puts on a house
dress and dons serviceable
sweater. II it is short-sleeved
model, so much the better. because
it does not interfere with her
housework, and if it provides sufd-
cient warmth throughout her body
and shoulders, the fact that her
lower arms are left bare will do
no harm. At least. the housewife
can very quickly become used to
bare forearms in cold weather If
she is warmly enough clad else
where, and this is by far the more
convenient and neater practice
when one must put ones hands in
dishwater.

Mushroom Catsup

ROWN and black bears the
X stamp of real smartness. 1t
- is a color combination that
French women have always appTe-
ciated. This season the French
dressmakers have made use of 1t
so effectively that its smartness
will undoubtedly be appreciated
by many well-dressed American
women.
In choosing your street costume
for autumn and winter make use
of this combination, and you Will
have the satisfaction OF wearing
brown which is the leading
autumn color, and black which al
ways lends distinction to the
smart woman's street costume.
Tete de negre and black Is an ex-
cellent combination. but black
combines as we'll with any of the
lighter, brighter browns that have
been stressed for autumn-copper,
cocoa, beaver, tortoise she'll and
even the shades of beige and
amber.

green, which is a dark, clouded
green-the color you would see If

Simplifying
Sunday

VYYITH all the agitation for
w blue Sunday obseryances
we hear very little protest
against the sort of Sunday that
keeps the housewife working
harder on Sunday than on any
other day in the week. And the
truth of the matter is that some
good men, while they have a holy
horror OF seeing their nighbOrs
playing golf or tennis on Sunday
and drill their children in church
going from their youth up, would
be rather badly disappointed if
they came home from church on
Sunday 10 be served with a nice
bowl of bread and milk instead OF
the usual chicken fricasee, or
roast beef. vegetables carefully
prepared and cooked, and ice
cream with homemade cake.
Sunday dinner is something of an
institution in many families. To
make il a heavy. elaborate meal
seems part of some peoples re-
spectability.
But the housewives might have
something TO say about this. In
fact some of them have expressed
themselves. In one or two fam
lilies | know of the old-time Sun
day dinner has been abolished en-
tirely. Midday meal on Sunday is
a simple, nourishing meal. 1t may
be packed in an automobile and
carried out TO the woods to be
eaten quite easily. The hearty
meal comes late in the day and
. while nOurishing and satisfying j:
quite the simplest dinner of the
week. Usually 1t consists oi
dishes most of which have beer

GOOSE FEATHERS CONTINUE.

None of the milliners object to
using tufts of goose feathers dyed
TO match the hat, although the
fashion was near death last
Spring. They still dangle over the
left ear. This particular move
ment of plumage continues.
Suzanne Talbot sponsors it in an
Oriental hat of ruby velvet with
heavy Venetian embroidery across
the front and a plume that curls
downward TO the shoulder.
There is no determined effort to
keep up the airplane silhouette.
If the hat is large and the brim
wide, it is perceptibly wider at
the sides, but it is only in the
shaping of a hat, and not in
its decoration. that breadth is
emphasized.

eggs and enough milk TO make

Waffles may be served in many
ways, and if different sweets are
devised TO serve with them, they
make a very acceptable dessert a
couple of times a month and may
also be eaten occasionally for
breakfast.
Served with strained honey they
are perhaps best of all, although
maple syrup is also delicious with
them.
They can be slightly salted and

Fewer fur coats have been

the French women are not able to

The Heavy One.

II you have more than one
sweater be sure and have one OF
fairly heavy wool made with a
high collar or with a scarf attached
that you may use for sports and
walking when autumn days are
cool. There are some interesting
sweaters with collars that may be
left opened or that fasten up in
the middle of the neck or at one
side when desired.
Many Of the high-grade ready
made sweaters show the use of
several different colors. Scarfs
show all sorts of stripes and
checks of colors. This makes 1t
possible for you 70 use up some Of
your leftover yarns. Simply get
enough plain color for the body Of
the sweater and then use the con-
trasting color for striped cuffs and
collars. The stripe may also be
used down the front of Tuxedo
sweater or around the bottom.

Easy to slip on.

AS the day advances, Of course
the sweater may be discarded. The
housewife who does housework has
many occasions for running out
doors-to put the laundry on the
lines. to put out refuse, to sweep
sidewalks, or perhaps TO pursue
errant children. If she has a
sweater at hand of the coat variety
rather than a slip on, it becomes
second nature to her to protect
herself before going out.
An excellent street costume in
cold weather may consist of a suit
skirt worn with slip-on sweater
of the long-sleeved variety pro-
vided with detachable and wash
able collars and cuffs. with a suit

may be worn into really cold

For the Stout.

A woman who is Of far more
than average stoutness has dis
covered that she can look as well
in sweaters as the slender woman
if she always fits them on a we'll
made lining before wearing them.
She selects china silk or some
times taffeta in white or matching
color. Thus the sweaters with
stand the strain of being worn by
a woman of her build and do not
become pulled and saggy.
You can almost always count on
considerable stretching Of woOlen
sweaters, and should therefore
make the sweater smaller rather
than larger than you will need it.
When you wash a sweater measure
the length and width of waist and
sleeves before washing it or If II
has stretched or is too small ascer-
tain just how long you want It to
be. Then when you come TO dry it

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Prices of Farm Products

Prices since 1912, the year before
the World War, have changed
violently and very rapidly. During
and Immediately following the war
we had a rapid rise in prices. Dur
ing the last two years we have
experienced the reaction from
thehe high prices. Such changes
always accompany great wars and
the great wars of all history have
temporarily disrupted economic
adjustments.
If the prices of all commodities
rose together and then dropped
together and then dropped togeth-
er there would be less hardship in
initiation or defation but that is
not the way price changes occur.
At the present time the general
average price of all commodities is
about 152 per cent of the 1912
average That is 500 worth Of a
variety of goods in 1913 will now
cost about 1852. The price index
of some commodities however, is
much lower than 1872 while that of
other is much higher. Compare
for instance the April 1922 price
index of the following commodities
with 1872;
Butter, 1913; wool, 148; eggs,
100; potatoes, 1872; beef cattle,
"a; hogs, 118; clothes and cloth
ing, 1871; house Furnishings, 211;
metals and metal products, III;
fuel and lighting, 1877.
Nevertheless farmers should be
encouraged for the prices of their
products have hit the bottom and
are now on their way to higher
ground. Wool, for instance, that
has been below 100. the pre-war
level, was in April up to 148 and
apparently going strong on the up
hill price way. Some other things
have materially dropped from their
high points and are still going
down Butter prices are of pri-
mary interest to Vermont farmers.
Compare for instance the whole
sale price in Boston for the first
FIVE months of 1922 with 152 per
cent of the pre-war average price
from 1900 to 1914:
