extraordinary intelligence in interpre- tation of the public attitude. Officials of. certain churches are said to have adopted this view.
 According to the complaint Mrs. Sladden, accompanied by her husband. asked him for a cigarette at the cor ner of Eighth avenue and Twenty-f1fth street and at once lighted 1t. KillyOn approached, ordered her to desist from smoking on the street, and, when she refused, knocked the cigarette from her hand. The complaint against the patrolman at West Thirtieth street station followed. The complaint was referred to Inspector Howard. who promptly turned it over to Commis- sioner Enright for judgment. Now 1t is up to the commissioner to say whether a woman may smoke publicly in New York city. Mrs Sladden de- mands a public apology from the pa trOlman.
 Did Killyon interpret his orders cor rectly? He is instructed to prevent disorderly demonstrations on his beat. Killyon's moral code perhaps classi- fies smoking of cigarettes as within that category. Mrs. Sladden, support ed by thousands of women, combats the assumption.

 Though her face is wrinkled, this woman of seven husbands still has thick, black hair, containing only a few traces of gray. She says she is so thankful that she has pulled through all of her troubles and still has good health.
 If she feels unkindly toward any of the husbands today, it was her sixth husband, with whom she only lived two weeks. She was siXty-two and this husband was only twenty-eight years old. His name was Edwin Me Gehee and he was a one-armed man. Mrs. Sanders said she had some prop erty, and this young man married her property, and as soon as they got married her young husband persuaded her to sell her farm and put all her property into cash-which he took.

Both of them employ a soft, luStrous pile-fabric for the body of the garment, both of them are straight-hanging and each has a strap girdle of self material. They have a look of warmth and luxurious soft ness, which appears to be the aim of every coat designer this year. The coat at the left Is lovely woOd-brown color, with collar and cuffs of silky, dark brown fox fur. Long silk cords, ending in tassels, fall from ornaments of silk at the left side.

utes will spoil the flavor and longer will prove harmful and even danger ous. A wooden spoon or an agate one Is best, though the agate if tapped on the side of the kettle Is apt to chip off and that, too, is unsafe.
 Food to be pickled loses it crispness if scalded and as that is the chief charm of good pickle 1t should be avoided.
 Since vinegar and spices and salt are the important ingredients to use in pickling it Is wise to choose the best. Many an otherwise delicious combina- tion has been ruined by poor or badly favored vinegar and insipid spices. It pays, even if at greater cost, to buy standard and reliable article.
 For those who like a snappy cucum- Der pickle try these: Into large jar put cupful of salt, a half-cupful each of sugar and mustard and a quart of vinegar. Drop the well-washed cucum- bers into the vinegar daily as they are picked, keeping them covered with the vinegar. Seal in jars and they will keep year, crisp and goOd-flavored. A bag of spices and an onion may be used for variety.
 Ripe Cucumber PickIes-Cut the ripe cucumbers in halves lengthwise. Cover with salted water and heat gradually, then let stand for an hour or two. Remove and chill in ice water. Make sirup by boiling two pounds of sugar, one pint of vinegar, two table spoonfuls each of whole cloves and cinnamon tied in a cloth. Add the cucumbers and cook ten minutes, re- move the cucumbers to a jar and pour over the boiling hot sirup. Boil the sirup for three successive mornings.

The question of the coat ts upper. most in many a fair head. for the time has come to buy one. A feast is spread for the benefit of every woman who must make choice this fall; but the melancholy days are come when many a coat aspires to associate with beautiful, sumptuous furs; they are higher priced and far more becoming than they would be otherwise. Wom- en are finding them irresistible and there are several good reasons for buy ing as fine a garment as the purse al- lows.
 The soft-faced cloths are rich and lustrous and they invite the use of furs in their trimmings. There seems to be an abundance of skins, but the han1 ding of furs takes much time and this Is what runs into money. Most furS

 Usually Things are in plain colors. and there is a fad for using two or even three colOrs, set together with a soft, fancy braid. A light color. at the top of the garment, will never "crack" or darken a light dress. and dark color on the lower half of the coat does not show soil which is apt to gether there.
