The days are becoming cooler and
although fresh fruits have solved the
dessert problem during the warm
weather the men, especially, want
heavier things now and pies seem to
answer that craving.
A good pie crust is the pride of
every experienced cook, the envy of all
poor ones and the desire of each
novice. However there is no reason
why, if you can follow directions, your
pie crust should not be tender and
naky. At the end of this column you
will find two recipes, for the first of
which everything must be ice cold and
for the second, everything warm and
the water boiling.
So you see, you have your choice as
to method and either ought to make
perfect crust. If you try one or the
other | am sure that you will be the
object of much admiration from every
body in the community.

Unique Pencils

saw the cleverest pencils the other
day-so easy to make, too, and lovely
for bridge parties. Smooth, round,
pencils about four inches long are the
bases. These are first dipped into gilt
paint and allowed to dry. Then
tassel is fastened to the end of each
with red sealing wax. Over the red
is then dropped black and gold wax.
Of course, you may select your own
color scheme but I have found this
one very effective with an orange
tassel.
The Model Drug has all kinds of
pencils and great variety of sealing
wax in convenient sticks and are most
helpful in suggesting color combina-
tions.

how the success of her entertain
ment had given Aida a generous and
expansive feeling toward even her
troublesome old neighbor.
Bearing the small tray. she ran
across the intervening grass-space to
Mrs. Waffie's back door. A light
burned within the kitchen. She gave
a premonitory knock and entered.
Mrs. Waffle sat by the kitchen-flre
In motionless attitude of suffering
She had been crying. for her cheeks
were wet,

"and ! haven't been able to stir

having such a good time with your
company that you didn't hear me-"
Alida's first act was to run home
and telephone DIR. Dyer. Then back
she went to be on hand when he
came.
Within 15 minutes Mrs. Waffle was
able to be put to bed and the pain
and "set feeling" were going out of
her muscles. A cup of hot tea, the
chicken and the ice cream made her
still II ore comfortable.
Aren't you leaving your company

land my dinner is at 6. She will be
in thirteen times more, shopping,
finding out everything. Oh. can't
endure it,
Aida considered Mrs. Waffle the
bane of her existence. She came in
and out as she would. every hour, or
twice in an hour, If the spirit so moved
her. 1t apparently never occurred to
her that her endlessly recurrent visits
might be a nuisance and bore.
For a long time Aida had con-
sidered ways and means of Kidding
herself of the annoyance of her per.
sistent old neighbor. but all simple
means would fail with Mrs. Waffle.
Either Aida must offend her out
right by locking her doors against
her or saying something that she
could not fall to comprehend, or she
must just keep silence and hear it
all as best she might.
Walter, Alida's husband, was in
clined to treat the old woman as a
joke. He loved to talk to her. to lis
ten to her ancient "reminiscences. He
could not understand how the young
housekeeper could he tantaliZed by
the older one. Besides. he only saw
Mrs. Waffle once where Aida had to
hear the af1iction of her presence,
20 times.
Aida worked under high pressure
all the rest of the morning, con
stantly expecting Interruption, but

her mind.
At o quarter of the qordens ar
rived. Mrs. Gordon was pretty and
peppy, her husband grave and gray.
He was the man higher up whom
Aida was seeking to win to friend
ship with her husband for the sake
of future promotion.
The little dinner was delightful.
Everything moved off charmingly.
The smothered chickens could not
! have been better. The sauce. how.
ever, lacked something Aida had
meant to ask Mrs. Waffle about that
sauce, but. of course. she had not
seen her. She frequently asked Mrs.
Waffle for directions in her cooking,
aid the older housekeeper's wisdom
was unfailing.
After dinner, while Walter was
getting out the card table and enter
tanning the guests with a new Arecord
on the photograph. Aida seized time
to put things in the refrigerator. AS
she slipped in the left-overs upon
small plates she thought somehow
of Mrs. Waffle. That wing of chick
en-, the bit of salad and the mold
of ice cream would make her a tasty
little supper If she had not eaten
yet. She would take it over. Some

THE EVENING STORY

Aida chose the last and easiest
question for answer.
II am giving little dinner party
tonight"
ITO the Bradys, suppose? Why,
they just ct here last week.
"It sn't the Bradys." Aida held
onto her patience. IT'S On,
why should she tell this eXasperatln;s
old woman any more? She felt an
instinct to- tell Mrs. Waffle for once
just what she thought of her. But
that would never do. Mrs. Waffle
was her next door neighbor, a lonely
old woman who had nobody to care
for her, nothing to interest her. Il We
asked in the Gordons" she said, smil-
ing.
Didn't know you knew them" re-
piled Mrs Waffle. Where did you
ever get acquainted with them, I'd
like to know"
More questions followed and then
Mrs. Waffle pattered back home,
Aida sat down, flushed and fearful
eyed, actually trembling with vexa-
ton.
"It is only q o'clock" she said

Mrs. Waffle did not come again. The
pastry might have been better, al
though Walter tested 1t at lunch
and thought it quite good enough.

at the critical moment" complained
Aida.
Walter laughed.

CONDITIONS SOUND.
Surface Irregularities Are Noted
by Dun's Review.

NEW YORK, October 16 R.-Dun's
says:
Surface irregularities in business
have become rather more prominent,
but underlying conditions remain
sound. Vagarfes of the weather have
initiated against the best results in
retail distribution, while recent storms
and floods tended to curtail CONNER
cial activities in some Western areas.
The latter cause has accounted for
reduced operations in some lines.
Further large purchasing Of railroad
equipment is, however. q compensat-
ing factor, and the rate of steel out
put this month has not changed essen
TALLY from satisfactory September av-
erage. Building construction, If not
up to some previous notable records,
continues Of large volume, and rising
production In some other industries
including footwear and certain depart
ments of textiles, keeps general em-
ployment of workers at a. very high
point. The late sharp fall in the price
of cotton has apparently somewhat
impaired prospects in the SOuth, Dut
concern over the possible effects OIL
that development has lessened. as
markets have recovered from their
lowest levels. Weekly bank clearings,

BUTTER PRICE TREND
FOR WEEK IS STEADY
Supplies for Most Part Sufficient to
Supply Comparatively Light
Demand.

by JnC ASSOCidttu
CHICAGO, October 16.-Butter
markets during the week ending Oc-
tober 16, followed rather steady
trend with no sharp fluctuations In
price. Supplies We're at no time bur
dersome, but for the most part were
sufficient to supply the comparatively
light demand.
The week opened with prices at all
markets unchanged from the close
of the previous week. On Wednesday
a light supply of fancy butter at New
York and Philadelphia resulted in isc
advance on 90 score at those markets.
Trading for the most part was con
fined to actual requirements for i'm
mediate consumption as operators
were conservative and could see no ad
vantage in accommodating stocks. Spec
ulative buying of butter was not much
in evidence as operators could not see
an opportunity for Il quick turnover
at a profit under present market con
ditionS.
The use of butter from storage is
exerting considerable influence over
the market on fresh at the moment.
Many large operators with direct con
sumption and steady jobber outlets
are using storage butter exclusively.
This more general use of storage but
ter on the Eastern markets especially.
limited the demand for fresh goods
and was an important factor in curb
ing advances which would certainly
have taken place had competition
from storage butter been eliminated.
Trading in storage butter on the
larger markets has been negligible as
the users were drawing on their Owr
storage stocks, rather than go on e.
the open market for supplies.
The October first storage report for
the country, released last Wednesday
showed holdings of creamery butter
amounting to 125. .122 900 pounds, a.
compared with 114,172 900 pounds on
October 1, 1925. This surplus of 10
100000 pounds had little. if any. eft
feet on the markets. as estimates re
gardtng the holdings. made prior Ia
the release of the report, were in most
instances quite close To the figures re
ported.
Reports from virtually all sources
are to the effect that consumption of
butter is holding up quite we'll and
operators are deriving considerable
encouragement from this source
Wholesale prices are from 4 to cents
below those of last year and prices
to the consumer are likewise lower. In
dustrial conditions In most sections
of ;he country are satisfactory and 81
continuation OF consumption at tho
present rate is generally anticipated
