It is expected that the receipts for the calendar year now closing at the local post office will reach the hlgh- est point in the history of Fort Payne, indications now being that more than S10,00O in stamp sales will be recorded before the close of De cember. Fort Payne is already the third largest office in this congress sional district and the new classlfl- cation as a result of the expected re- ceipts will change the delivery sys- tenn from experimental village ue- livery to regular city delivery, with the probable addition of another car rier. In 1915 the calendar receipts were only S9.90O and the increase IS considered remarkable.

Dainty Ribbon Rose
Bag Is Easy to Make

Every woman wants dainty and
distinctive bag to carry with her
pretty frocks. Here is one Of the
daintiest and easiest that can be made.
For the foundation cut two circles OF
buckram and cover with silk Of the
same color as the ribbon you intend
using. Use four or six yards Of rib
bon according to the size Of bag de-
sired. Tack the end of the ribbon to
the center of the circle, then twist it
and swirl it around in circles until
the entire foundation is covered. Pins
will have to be used to hold the rib
bon in place until the foundation is
covered; then the ribbon is tackled
and the pins removed. When the two
circles have been thus covered they
are joined together with the same rib
bon. This makes a rose bag similar to
double cockade, and should be
swung over the arm.

Hand Knit Frocks Are
Chic for Sports Wear

:. Hand-knit sports frocks for madame
and mademoiselle are among the smart
knitted garments worn by women who
dress well. But If a woman can WELD
knitting needle, she can have the
same frock at much less cost.
Some of the frocks are made in one
piece, with low V-neck and plain
stocking stitch for three quarters of
the way, and in squares or plaids, as
you will, of the knit and purl combina-
ton. The skirt ends with a plain hem
effect in the stocking stitch. Others
are two-piece. Yellow, tan, beige,
powder blue, green and white, in one
tone or with another color combined,
are used for these frocks.
The softest yarns should be used.
Some of the frocks are embroidered
in Angora or brush wool, and still
others are trimmed with worsted yarn
flowers or conventional designs which
are appliqued on.

METHOD OF CLARIFYING FAT
Melt With at Least an Equal Volume
of Water and Heat for
Short Time.

An oId-fashioned method Of Clarity
ing fat from the soup kettle or from
cooked meats such as bacon, ham,
chicken, beef, sausage, and other
sources, is recommended by the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture.
Melt the fat with at least an equal
volume of water and heat for a short
time at a moderate temperature, stir
ing the mixture occasionally When
cold, remove the cake Of fat and
scrape off any small particles Of meat
and skin that adhere.
Some fats are better favored than
others for use in pastry or cake max
ing, but all Clearly rendered fats may
be used in frying. If the flavor or
color or both are not satisfactory at
the first rendering, the process may be
repeated several times. Another meth
cd, often recommended, is to cook
number of slices of raw potato in the
boiling fat. The addition Of small
uncut onion, a tsM leaves Of summer
savory and thyme, salt and pepper,
when rendering meat drippings, makes
a savory fat useful for gravies. SaE-
sage fat is excellent for frying meats
which have less flavor Of their own, as
veal outlet or rabbit.
Fat in small quantities may be cas-
lily kept sweet in the ice box for cook
ing purposes. If lard is rendered at
home in large quantities to last a
long time it should be kept covered
in tins or earthen jars, in a cool. dry
place.

sired. The meats Of several pits may
be cooked, either whole or sliced, In
each gallon Of butter While still hot,
pack in sterflized jars or glasses and
process 20 minutes in a hot water bath
or cover with hot parafin.
Plum Butter.
Wash the plums and cook till soft
with a little water. Rub the pulp
through a. coarse wire sieve. For each
measure of pulp use half to three
quarters of a measure Of sugar and
cook slowly, with frequent stirring, I'M
til the butter is as thick as desired. If
a tart butter is favored, less sugar
should be used, If the plums are very
juicy the pulp put through the colander
may need to be boiled down and thick
ened before the sugar is measured or
added. Cinnamon, allspice and cloves
should be added to suit the taste, when
the cooking is finished. Plum butter
should be packed while hot in the same
way as other buffers or preserves.

And after the dance, if one has light
refreshments in the dining room and
more guests than one can comfortably
accommodate at table, the dining room
window seat pleasantly offers itself.
It is possible to upholster a window
seat in cretonne or other material in
harmony with the rest of the room.
This is not essential, except as mat
ter of personal preference, as window
seats may be had in stock designs
with excellent wood finish in styles to
harmonic with the character of the
room. The use Of bright colored cush-
ions and upholstered seats, however,
is undoubtedly a large factor in the
charm of the room and gives verve
that Immediately attracts attention.
The best kind of upholstery work and
a good grade Of stufing is most essen
tial to make the seat cushions com

Black in Evidence
for Fall Dresses
Darker Materials Take an
Early Lead in Modes
for New Season.


Black frocks predominant in the
early fall exhibits, with navy blue as
the only close competitor, notes a
fashion writer in the Washington
Star. Fabrics are unusually interest
ing, though, and they more than make
up for the lack of variety in color
tones. Several new satins have made
their appearance soft clinging, crepe
like silks that lend themselves admir-
ably to drapery and pebbly-surfaced
Satins that are effective in palmer
models, with little or no trimming.
Ecru lace is a favored medium for
collars and cuffs, while beige georgette
and eyelet-embroidered organdie are
also popular. Some frocks fashioned
on simple, straight lines, combine IT,.
of them. For instance, one attractive
model seen was of pebbly black satin,
with the bateau neck bordered By a
rolled-over collar of openWork beige
organdie frilled with several tiers of
narrow self-color lace Gauntlet cuffs
of organdie, also edged with lace aut-
Ing, added the only other touch Of
trimming.
One street frock was of navy blue
Poiret twill, cut on rather severe
tailored lines, and yet trimmed with
soft lace frills, which contradicted the
tailored effect It was fashioned in
one straight piece, with a rounded
neck bordered by pointed collar and
long sleeves nodded to fit the wrists
like gloves. A jabot of shirred ecru
lace dropped from the collar fastening,
while lace ruff1es bordered the sleeves,
half-yeiling the hands. and extended

Hide Your WaistIine
When Wearing Sweater

Many women find that the most
beautiful sweater does not look well
worn over skirt, because the waist
line of the skirt breaks the attractive
appearance Of the sweater by begin
ming space Of another color from
that showing through the upper part.
To overcome this unattractive fea-
ture, wear a slip the length OF the
sweater in place of the corset cover
brassiere or shorter undergarment.
The slip can be made loose or tight
like brassiere, but it should be worn
over the skirt, covering the waistline.
and should reach to within half an
inch of the bottom of the sweater.
When sleeveless slipons are worn over
blouses, the blouse should be worn
outside the skirt.

Restful Window Seat
Adds Charm to Home

wall-considered window seat mas
an appeal all it's own, says Estelle =.
Ries in the DelineatOr. In the small
house where there is little space Tor
chairs. and in the larger one Where
bare corners and uninterestlng spots
are not infrequent, there is good OPP
portunity for this pleasant feature II
there is a bay window, it offers par
ticuiarlv delightful chance for WIN
dow seat where a group OF persons
may enjoy slight exclusiyeness Wltnout
complete isolation. Here it hts INTO a
space not otherwise used and will give
an air of completeness and coziness TO
the window.
In constructing a window seat, 1t IS
preferable, for ease in cleaning, to nave
its base rest fully upon the floor. Ii It
ia raised but a couple of inches,
sweeping is awkward and neglect IS en-
couraged. If the window seat does
not rest solidly upon the floor, it should
be several inches high, so that one
may readily reach under It.
One may construct a window seat
over a low radiator; it is quite Gus
romary to do so. In this case, the
wood seat must be lined with tin and
asbestos to protect it and also to throw
the heat into the room, the tin having a
curved back and thus acting as heat
reflector.
In these days when one is likely to
put a dance record on the monograph,
pick up the rugs and ''be off, window
seats are particularly desirable. Those
who do not participate in the frolic
will be more comfortable in good
window seat than in a chair that is
constantly being run into even in spite
Of the best intentions.
