New Fall Hats

'TTHE new Fall hats are showing \ alT sorts of fascinating trim. mings. That the new season will bring into vogue hats. of velvet be- came certainty some time ago. The colors will be quite as beautiful as the fabrics, with shades of rust and green predominating.
 Black velvet is used in combina- tion with dull black moire or taf. feta and the result is fetching. A medium-size hat shows a brim of black lustrous velvet with crown fashioned of velvet darts alternat- ing with darts of taffeta. The under-brim is of taffeta, matching the trimming of the crown.
 Lace is to be used again. This time, however, metal Iaces return to style and the dyed ones follow next in favor. Laces are no longer soft and droopy but are wired into perky bows and fiuted wings placed at very, unusual angles on the hat brim.

More About Vitannirles

STHD three commonly discussed \ vitamines (calIed A, B, O have been known for several years and 1t has been definitely proved that all three are necessary to life and health. Here are some of the foods which authorities have found contain vitamines and which should be used in the daily diet:
 Butter, cheese, cream, whole mix and eggs contain yitamines of Class A. with milk containing both A and B..
 Carrots, lettuce, cabbage and spinach contain vitamines A. B, and O.. Young. and fresh vegetables are preferred,
 Oranges. lemons and grapefruit are rich in. vitamines B and 0. Apples, pears and lines contain B and c. Tomatoes contain all three vitamines. One of the best sources; of vitamines is wheat if it has not been deVitalized. Wheat cereals that are white, as we'll as white flour, contain little or no vitamines. The wheat which retains all parts including the embryo and outer layers contains an abundance of Vitamines A and B, When eaten with whole milk or milk and cream, this dish supplies all three vitamines. s

 He would not permit her to re. turn the check and Kitty felt strangely affluent with the receipt of so much money tucked snugly away in her purse. It was the largest amount she had ever had in all her life. Yet to most women 1t represented only the price of a smart trousseau.
 An awkward moment ensued when Preston alighted from the cab at the railway station from which they would leave tomorrow. Kitty followed shyly behind him. He purchased their tickets. made all necessary arrangements, then turned his love-lighted face toward her.
 And now" he said. "are you sorry, Katherine7 Or shall you meet me at this very spot to-mor- row afternoon at three o'clock? Our train leaves at three-thirty. We'd better be early. But perhaps you've decided not to go."
 Nothing matters now," she said, tenderly. Nothing in this whole world can stand between us. Love has decided for me. I have no alternative"

Apple Sauce Cake

A SPLENDID way to use up cake "A that has become dried Is to serve it toasted with crushed fruit or apple sauce on top.
 Cut the cake into slices and toast slightly. A Sprinkling of cin- namon and sugar over the top will add a new and pleasing flavor. When the cake has cooled, pile some fresh crushed fruit on top, or apple sauce can be used in place of the fresh fruit during Winter months. Dot the top with whipped cream or meringue. If meringue is used, the slices of cake should be placed again in the oven and the heat permitted to brown the meringue slightly. Fruit should be piled on the cake before setting in the oven and the dessert served either hot or cold.

Baby's Food
 in Summer

bTgHE problem of the bottle
 baby is always q rather
 serious one for the mother and more especially is this so dur ing midsummer.
 However, if a rigid plan of care and absolute cleanliness is fol lowed in the preparation of the food, certain amount of assurance may be had by the anxious mother.
 Certified milk should be pur- chased at all times. While this grade milk may cost a few cents more per quart, 1t will more than repay this small additional expense in the knowledge that the milk is pure,
 There are a number of baby foods on the market, but the wise. mother will have her physician prescribe the formula which is best suited to the requirements of her precious one,
 The entire food supply for the day should be made at one time. There should be a set of utensils to be used exclusively for this purpose.
 Bottles should be thoroughly washed and rinsed. They should then be placed in a pan of cold water which is set over low gas flame or fire, and the water per- mitted to come to boil While this Is being done the baby,s food should be prepared, a sufficient quantity to supply the correct number of bottles for the day, figuring on three-hour intervals between each feeding.
 The food should be placed in a saucepan and permitted to slowly simmer until scalded. Remember, 1t should not boil. When it has reached the scalding point it should be poured into the sterilized bottle and a wad of absorbent cotton placed in the opening of the bottle. After cooling, the food should be placed in the refrigerator to be relocated by placing the bottle In saucepan of water and slowly heating to correct temperature at feeding time.
 Nipples for the bottles should be turned inside out and thoroughly cleansed. They should then be placed in wide necked bottle con. taining a weak solution of boracic acid, and also placed in the re- frigerator. Rinse thoroughly with clean water before using.

Birthday Cake

FOR the birthday cake, frost a \ pyramid-shaped cake made in several layers, each layer smaller than the previous one. Then dip animal crackers in melted choco- late, and after they harden, place them against the sides of each layer of the pyramidy giving the effect of animals marching around the cake. Place candles on top of the cake.
 And here Is another suggestion for the birthday cake! Place the frosted cake on flat plate or board, leaving. a space of about two inches all around the cake. Purchase a roll of thin, flat, candy. waters about the size of fifty-cent piece, and insert them about one-half inch under the. cake all the way round. Then melt the end of the desired number of candles. and secure each one on the part of the candy wafer extending from under the cake. The candles resemble a fence around the cake and give very dainty appearance. Nr"

appears almost like fancy net work. This sort of trimming will be seen much on evening gowns and on fancy afternoon gowns of dark satin or crepe.
 There is a new kind of braid which is anding popularity for it can be easily stitched to a frock and appears like shirred ribbon. A lighter edge on the ribbon adds piquant note, lending a two-tone color scheme when shirred tightly and stitched to narrow backing to form the braid.
 Gowns will show, sleeves, either very short or long. And fashion couturiers are wondering just where the waistline will decide to rest since it has travelled up and down the frock for several seasons.

rHE days dragged. The hour

PTFHE days dragged. The hours ticked off their minutes of
 % agonizing suspense on the tall old studio clock. Preston had set the date for Thursday. And Kitty, having secretly bade fare well to all the old familiar places of the community, had packed her trunk and sent 1t to the railway sta- tion to await further orders.
 . Preston was nervous, fretful. restless. Once, when he had sat moodily breeding for a long while, Kitty attempted to place her arm about his shoulder. He jerked 1t away with an impatient gesture and she walked to the other end of the iong room, hurt bitterly by her sweetheart's attitude.
 Instantly, he was all repentance. He jumped quickly to his feet and followed her. With softened eyes. he stood before her and stretched out his arms.

Ice Box in Summer

EXTRA care should be given the G ice box during the Summer months for the freshness of food depends ina large measure on the condition of the refrigerator.
 Twice a week, all ice should be removed from the box and the in- side scrubbed clean with hot water to which has been added a little washing soda. Sprinkle about the ice box a little powdered charcoal. This will absorb any disagreeable odor which has resulted from food which has been kept too long.
 Dry out the ice box and allow its door to stand open until all mois- ture has disappeared. It is a good plan to roll the ice box to a place in the room where the sunshine can penetrate it's interior after the box has been washed.

 She looked up at him and offered shim her hands. He drew her to her feet and folded his strong arms about her slender little body, rain Ting innumerable kisses upon her soft, full lips.
 ''I know, I know" she breathed, as he released her for a moment. "We are taking big step, dearest. But you aren't sorry? You're quite certain you don't want to change the plan?"
 "I cant bear to hear you even speak those words" he came back, with little tightening of his lips. t-''I don't want you ever to say that. I've made up my mind that I can- not go on living with my wife. There is only one woman I want. And I'm not going to allow life to cheat me further"

They would walk up to each other and speak as if their meeting was quite by &C., cident. Preston would have the tickets to their destination and they would leave New York only to return when they could be man and wife.
 The next few days were devoted to work. Kitty was more beautiful than ever before. Love had softened her eyes to an exquisite blue and delicate flame of color flickered in her cheeks. Preston noticed these subtle changes and gave them his response in the mag -nificence of the color portrait he was painting.
 Wednesday came and the picture was finished. Kitty rode uptown with him while he delivered the work to a popular monthly and re- .ceived in return a staggering check. When they were again alone in the taxi, Preston en- 'dorsed the check, folded it into a small bit and pressed it into Kitty's hand.

 "No, no. I cannot accept it," Kitty exclaimed, astonished at his extravaganza. 'fWe shall need this money for expenses. couldn't bear to spend it for baubles.'e Nonsense, darling. It's yours.

Spanish Mannerisms
With Costume

Studying the traits and mannerisms
of men of all nations; delving into books
to learn the idiosyncracies and cos
tunes of the aristocracies of Europe,
has been but part of Allan Forests
daily work for the past two years. 4,
Now, his characterizations of foreign
type leading men have been broadened
by his Interpretation of Gallito, the
matador, opposite Priscilla Dean in
1.-THE Siren of Seville" her first Hunt
Stromberg production, which is now
showing at the Temple theater, and he
proves withouta doubt that his knowl-
edge of Spaniards is perfect.
During the production of the picture
Mr.. Forrest, dressed in character was
seated in players chair waiting for
the directors call. Two Spanish news
paper men who were visiting the studio
approached him and began conversa-
ton in Spanish. His condemnation was
not long suffered, however, for Senior
Manuel de los Ries, a professional bull
fighter from Seville and tutor to Allan

his rescue. The exactness of his cos
tune and his native mannerisms had
fooled even the newspaper men.
