Something Was
in the Air
By A. w. PEACH

90. 1898, BY Mcclure Newspaper syndicate)
When she came down the aisle OF
desks, her cheeks rosy with the keen
outdoors air, her bronze-tinted hair
matched by her attractive street suit,
Palmer thought to himself that she
was the most wlnsome picture he had
seen In q long time. and he wondered
who she was, where she came from
and what her business In the office
might be; but mostly he wondered.
after the ancient manner of man, who
she was.
He found out.
Ten minutes later he was called into
the presidents office, was introduced
to Miss Faye Wilson by the brusque
business man, and told In SO many
words that she would take over his
work while he was to go to the sales
department.
1t was O blow--so hard that Palmer
fairly staggered as he returned to bis
desk. He had been three years win
ming his way to that desk, and he knew
beyond that position there was already
advancement; In the sales department
there was only dead mans" chance
promotion through the kindly pass
ing away of some obliging individual.

A few minutes later she joined
him. not to have him explain how he
did his work, but to show her where
he left II. 1t was a highly mixed few
minutes. He found that he hardly
knew whether to be cool toward her
or not but that matter was settled
for him. Her eyes were long lashed
and a darker brown than her hair,
with warm, soft depth to- them that
fascinated him.
He managed nevertheless, to explain
what he was doing at the moment, and
he did II as cheerfully as he could. lie
could not help being bit ungracious
as he left.
'Im sorry to 90, but that Is the
way with you modern girls-you step
into our places pretty easlly" he said,
trying to smile.

enigmatic answer.

PRISON PROVED THEIR SAFETY
Sailors Marvellous Escape From What
at First Seemed an Assured and
Lingering Death.

During q great storm the Grimsby
steam trawler Cale-.na was driven on
the rocks at Vardo, In Norway, and
only two of the crew Of eleven es-
capped with their lives. They may be
said to have been saved, In spite OF
themselves, by the iron hand of Fate.
When the ship struck the rocks they
were in the galley-the ships kitchen
and the shock closed the galley's
iron door with a crash, so that they
were imprisoned like trapped rats.
Overhead they could hear the heavy
waves thudding down upon the deck
and every moment they expected wa
ter to break through or the vessel to
founder.
For hours they sat huddled togeth-
er awaiting the end; but the end
never came, and In time ~the gale
abated, and they were able to force
their way out Of their prison and
reach the deck.
The deck was one mass Of Ice, and
not man was to be seen. While they
had been trapped below their nine
comrades had been swept from the
slippery deck into the sea. and doubt.

ming of the iron door. they too would
have been washed away.
The iron hand of Fate that had
seemed to trip them had really rescued

HEADcHEEsE is GOOD CHANGE
Acceptable Meat for Lunch or Supper
and May BE Easily Made-Gov-
eminent Recipe.

For lunch or supper cold sliced
headcheese is an acceptable meat,
which may be easily made. The Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
gives the following recipe:
Cut hogs head into four pieces.
Remove the brains, ears, skin. snout,
and eyes. Cut off the latest parts for
lard. Put the lean and bony parts to
soak overnight in cold water in order
to extract the blood and dirt. When
the head is cleaned put it over the fire
to boil, using water enough to cover it.
Boil until the meat separates readily
from the bones. Then remove from the
fire and pick out all the bones. Drain
off the liquor, saving part of it for
future use. Chop the meat fine with a
chopping knife. Return it to the ket-
tie and pour on enough of the liquid
to cover the meat Let it boil slowly
for 15 to 30 minutes. Season to taste
with salt and pepper just before re-.
moving it from the fire. Bay leaves,
little ground cloves, and allspice may
be added and boiled for a while in the
soup. If not condensed enough to
form jelly, little gelatin may be dis
solved in cold water and mixed well
with the cheese just before filing into
molds.

For Slip Covers That
Remain Through Winter

with the advent of autumn, sum-
mer covers on chairs and couches are
ordinarily removed by most house
keepers. If one wishes to keep them
on through the winter. however, as is
frequently the case where the furni-
ture is bit worn, note of color and
newness may be achieved by shorten
ing the slips SO that the legs of the
sofa or chairs are visible and adding
around the bottoms a box-plaited frill
of six-inch ribbon. Cushions made of
ribbon to harmonic with these frills
and placed in the chairs or sofas will
do much toward making long famil-
lar room seem new.
If a long narrow table graces the
room, the ribbon scheme may be fur
thered by adding a table runner made
Of alternate rows of linen and ribbon
and edged all around with narrower
ribbon shirred in the center.

Shell Earrings Worn
bv Stylish Dressers

Tortoise shell, so highly valued in
the long ago, is enjoying an enthusi-
astic revival, and tortoise shell ear
rings are the very last word in smart
ness, says a writer in the New York
Times, The handsomest ones are
carved, made of several rings and
drops, and very long, almost touching
the shoulder. The most costly fans in
ostrich, lace or marabou, have sticks
of tortoise, and the chicest things,
cigarette cases and holders, vanity
cases, clasps, combs and bracelets, are
fashioned of this new material. Tor
toise shell is not inexpensive, and one
of its charms is that it cannot be sue
cessfully initiated.
The wrist watch has been denoted
to the ranks of utility, and is no
longer regarded as an ornament, no
matter how deliberately II is set. It is

mum chain Another lo4ket watch is
worn on a slender chain of green gold,
the strands braided. Nothing could be
more feminine and dainty than this
combination of ornament and service.
Bracelets are the rage, and women
are bringing from the family jewel
case the quaintest old bits, most of
them being wide and important looking.
The newest style that is very popular
is to wear several slender bracelets
on one arm. Usually one circlet is set
in colored stones, and the others, worn
above and below the color, are set in
diamonds. Armlets, worn half way
above the elbow, are also affected. and
little Imagination is required to foresee
the vogue of the anklet.

Tailored Gown Is
Fashion Favorite
Color Variation Is One of
Seasons Offerings in
Trim Frocks.

The fall season brings the lure of

in the Aost of things displayed, we
should not overlook the features
which will mark our attire as new or

One note that seems to predominant
in the models which will rule the
vogue is the tailored effect. Not the
prim, mannish tweeds which charac-
terized the fapper last year, but filmy
silks stitched and banded into an in
triguing unity. The black frock which
we accepted so intellectually and to
which we chung SO desperately. de-
spite the exquisite sports shades shat
designers offered, has at last begun to
lose it's hold. We could not relinquish
it altogether, so the wise men who
make our fashions decided to offer it
with a little color variation.

WAY FOR WASHING CORDUROY
Must Not Be Rubbed, Squeezed or
Ironed-When Dry Raise Nap by
Brushing BriskIy.

Corduroy is a Kind of cotton velvet
which may be washed providing it is
not rubbed, squeezed or ironed, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture If it is made up at home,
stitch the seams with loose stitch
to prevent pickering when washed.
Before laundering babies coats or
other lined garments loosen the lining
at the bottom to avoid bagging. Use
a solution of mild soap, or for dark
colors which may streak or fade,
solution of soap bark. Souse the gar
ment up and down in the soapy water,
changing the water as it becomes
soiled. Rinse in several clear waters
until no more dirt and soap come out.
Hang the garment up dripping wet
and so that it will dry in the shape
in which it is worn. Dry in the wind,
if possible. When dry brush briskly
to raise the nap.

CoIorful Frocks Are
Charming for Riddles

Few things indicate more decidedly
the progress of designing than the
charming clothes created for the mod
ern child. They are colorful and ex-

everything else, appropriate. Perhaps
the most distinctive feature Of these
wee frocks and coats is their indi-

It does not take long for a mother
to decide just what particular color is

whether her type calls for frills and

Length of Dress Will
Not Afect Shoe Mode

1t used to be said that when long
skirts returned boots would come back.
But we are realizing today that the
hem of the skirt has comparatively
nothing to do with the type of shoe
worn, said shoe man. The beauty
and symmetry of the shoe will gov.
ern, no matter what skirt length is de.
termined
SO the manufactures tells the shoe
merchant to be calm on any fashion
forecast that has to do with the length
of skirts. The maker of dresses, to be
sure, has his worries over the length
of skirts, but for fine footwear the call
always will be for trimness, harmony
and smartness.

on daytime frocks today, consists
chiefly of interesting little scrolls and
whirligigs, welded into haphazard
sort of pattern. This embroidery is
usually arranged in a cuirass effect
on the front and back of the bodice.
