nish tailleurs or frilly feminine frocks,

the bertha collar and the turn-back
cuffs
The evening mode is less subject to
the structures of fashion than any 9th
err type of costume Here it is that
the designer may shake loose every
restraint and soar into the realms Of
fantasy. There are no don'ts-color,
cut and cloth know no master save
only the caprice of the maker. 1t is
curious to note that although the
couturier has not been niggardly as
far as trimming and fabric are con-
cerned, vivid hues are not the DOM
inant evening colors nor are plat and
f1ounce inalienable adjuncts. The
outstanding shade is black, and rip
pling panels are the modish note of
decoration. Go to the opera in New
York, or observe fashionable society
in Nice and Paris, and the majority
of black evening gowns will be as
patent as the absence of plating.

semi-dress models. which fashion has
seen fit to approve for wear with
either tailored or afternoon dress.
Even with severely tailored, mannish
suits the mode is indulgent as to the
type of hat one may wear. The shops
present plain, tailored hats, but when
these are less becoming than the
trimmed variety, the decision is for
becomingness above all else. Women
are not contenting themselves with
single hat, but find 1t necessary to
have sports hat at least in addition
to trimmed model. The sports hats
Of this season are approved for street
wear, unless they are too assertively
intended for sports wear.
Something of the variety in shapes
and trimmings in semi-dress hats
may be gathered from the group pic
tured, but this is a season when
everything is good" in millinery and
therefore there is a becoming hat fer

Fashion Features of
Interest to All Women

A lovely dressing gown which en-
bodies the mode for fur Enthusiastically
used is of black satin trimmed with
ermine. The. ermine is sewed to the
gown in large squares.
Some of the new suede shoes, quite
without buckles or straps, have navel
ornament. This is a rosette of the
suede, placed at one side of the front
and strewn with tiny beads like jew
els.
A couture adopted by young girls
and young matrons who are not yet
bobbed is simplicity itself. The hair is
drawn loosely back from the face,
prettily waved and gathered in a locte
knot at the neck.
With the severely plain tailored suit,
the blouse of all-over embroidery re-
appears. Many of these blouses have
an embroidered shirt bosom" and en-
broidery down the top Of the sleeves.
The combination of tan and violet is
one of the interesting color schemes
of spring. A hat of tan MORE, in hori-
zontaI folds, is trimmed with a shir-
ring of violet net.
Much Of the new lingerie In radium
silk has a single motif of fruit or flow
ers in colors. TIL hens are often fin
ished in points, each point being edged
with bN?ae9n-hCled scallops.

Fancy Cookies.

be used to further decorate the
cookies. The plain icing may be mixed
with shredded coconut, ground nuts,
or a mixture of nuts and dried fruits
and spread on top or between two
plain cookies. Marshmallow frosting,
soft chocolate frosting, maple frosting,
may all be used as filing between
cookies. In fact, the housewife may
initiate a number Of fancy cakes of
the confectioner if she wishes to spend
little extra time and care on her
baking.
The following recipe for rich cookies
makes a good basis for fancy cookies,
which are so useful to have on hand
at holiday time, for afternoon tea, or
the unexpected caller.
Rich Cookies.
/ cupful sugar teaspoonfuls
q cupful butter baking powder
2 eggs n teaspoonful salt
1 tablespoonful Spice or flavor to
water suit taste
PA cupfuls -four
Cream together the sugar and short
ening; add to this the well-beaten
eggs, the f1avoring, and the -four with
which the salt and baking powder
have been sifted This dough will be
about the consistency of that for drop
cookies. If rolled cookies are desired,
omit the water, and increase the flour
to three cupfuls, or enough to make
dough stiff enough to roll thin. Cut
and bake as usual Dried fruits, nuts,
etc., may be added IL desired.

French Silks in
Larger Patterns
Crepe Marocain Froclxs Are
in Designs for After
noon Dress.

Designs of the French silks are in
larger pattern than those of home
manufacture, at least so far as those
appearing in the new models is con-
cerned, writes a fashion correspondent
In the New York Herald The crepe
marocain frocks are in designs suitable
for the informal afternoon Dress The
striped frock is lavish in color and is
combined with plain white tucked or
candle. Cerise, jade black and yellow
are the principals in the mixture OF
color. with white as background.
The use of the bows in this design is
very unusual and, by the way, the bow
under the chin is very well on its way
to general acceptance.
More severe in treatment is the
dress with the flounce at the bottom
and the black bows marking the two
breaks in the straight line. No white
relieves the neck of this dress and the
wearer will have to have sufficient
height as well as good looks to carry
off its trying lines, although the choice
of becoming color will do great
deal.
OF course the b1ouses in these silks
will come in for a large share of at
tention as the tunic dress again re-
peats its lines in the figured tunic
blouse and plain skirt. In the opinion
Of some authorities on dress the
smarter combination is to have the

Animals Embroidered
on Paris Street Gowns

Animals have supplanted mono
grams as the embroidered decoration
on Paris street dresses. Where once
the initials of the wearer added a
small but certain touch of distinction
to the frock, there now appear little
creatures, Invariably in pairs and en-
broidered in wildly colored silk
threads. Callot originated this caprice
and it has met with an immediate re-
Spouse along the Riviera, where it is
no. uncommon sight to see the smartly
gowned Parisienne trailed by a very
animate Pom and accompanied by two
inanimate chicks strikingly embroid-
cred on the ends of the sash.

f1ounce and tunic are the rungs on
which the Paris designer ascends the
heights.
Chanel was one of the first houses
to show the apron-like tunic several
seasons ago. She has continued to
feature the idea and her present col
lection contains many lovely dresses
in this style. The apron motif allows
many variations-it may be shaped
round, pointed or elongated with the
fullness at the sides, or it may be
plated. The old-fashioned apron
style with narrow tie strings that knot
at the back is an ancient theme
which has been rejuvenated.

VERY SIMPLE MATTER
TO PREPARE COOKIES
Housewife May Initiate
Cakes Made by Baker.


(Pppared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
1t is simple matter to prepare
fancy cookies, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. The top
may be decorated by pressing onto
each cookie before baking plump
raisin or pieces of other dried fruit
and busting lightly with sugar.
Ground nuts may be strewn over the
top, or halves of nuts, such as pecans,
English walnuts, and almonds be
pressed onto the surface either singly
or in form of a design.
Again, the cookies may be coated
with plain icing when they come
from the oven and halves of nuts or

The right working height for each
individual woman is matter of great
Importance for the comfort of the
homemaker. When planning a new
home, have the fixed working surfaces,
such as the sink, tubs, kitchen cabinet
and pantry counter, placed at carefully
determined levels. Tables which ordi-
nariIy came in standard sizes, can be
raised by means of blocks or casters.
In adjusting oneself to equipment al
ready purchased it usually pays to
have the height Of the working surf
aces altered if one is very short or
very tall, or if the original builder
placed the sink or other working sur
face at badly chosen levels.

MINERS ARE NOT
 ALARMED AT CRY
 OF THIGH WAGES"

Indianapolis, Sept 20-sNo one is fooling the miner by telling him that the reason for the present depression in the coal industry is because of the high wages he is supposedly making" !" says Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mine Workers Journal.
 "The miner has been too long in the game and knows that sucha rguments are made for no other purpose than to break down the public support the union miner has been receiving.
 'The efforts being made in several of the bituminous producing states to gull the public into believing that the ailment in the coal industry is due to high wages is the veriest poppycock. The miner is aware of this. He knows that it is scheme to break his morale and to reduce his wages to somewhere in the region of the wages paid in the non-union fields. It is merely a case of increased profits for the operators when the public starts buying coal and that time, by the way, is now here.
 Coal reserves are at new low levels because the coal-consuming public has been calling on the reserve supply rather than buying fresh coal. The end of such a policy is in sight and the mines are beginning to open and operate. Warnings have been issued by railroads that a car shortage is imminent for next winter unless coal begins moving now. Operators have foreseen these circumstances and, of course, would like to increase their profits by hammering wages down.
