3 Three ri sce costumes are extreme ly smart this winter. Coats are q few inches shorter, or exactly the length of the gowns they are worn with.
 A striking outfit is one of lacquer red kashmir duvetyn. The coat follows the mode of the straight sill houettc and it's severity is relieved in the back by three N-shaped tucks. The sleeves are cl fitting and broad beaver cuffs reach almost to the elbow. The collar of beaver is extremely wide and Is smart worn nigh about the throat.
 The dress with this coat is the same shade of red in dull crepe. The bodice blouses at the hips and has a double row of gold buttons down the front. Gold stitching outlines the bateau neck an runs down either side of the buttons. The sleeves are long and tight. Six gold buttons fasten them at the wrist and the cuff has an edge of gold em- broidery.
 The skirt is short and has finely rleated apron. A sash of the crepe ties around the hips.
 Thrac tuclss. V-shape in the back, add distinction to red duvctTn cos. tsinmed with broad collar and cuffs of beaver.

ed the necessary bulk can be sub stituted--raw cabbage would be ex- cellent. A dish of plain stewed prunes with an oatmeal cookie may be more convenient for a busy mother to serve in place of the prune pudding.
 Baked Cheese Sandwiches
 Two eggs. 1 cup milk. 1-2 tea spoon salt, Is teaspoon pepper, cheese. bread.
 Cut bread in thin slices, spread with creamed butter and put to- gether as sandwiches with slices of cheese between. Arrange in a shal- low baking dish or dripping pan, making one layer Beat eggs slight ly with salt and pepper and milk Pour over sandwiches in pan and bake in moderate oven until firm to the touch and brown on top.
 The cheese melts and the bread absorbs some of the custard and the dish is quite as appetizing as nour- ishing.

Vertizcn and Grantland Clash on
 Madge's Territory

That Philip Veritzen did not in- tend to confine his greeting to an ordinary lifting of the hat, but that he meant to speak 10 ne. and to be given an introduction to Hugh Grantland was patent even before he passed his own car with his chauffeur standing strictly at atten- ton, and came on to us.
 Hugh and I arrived at the door of the roadster at the same momen. that Philip Veritzen reached it. and as Hugh saw that the other man meant to speak 10 us, his hand fell from the door of the roadster which he was opening. and he stepped back 10 my side with an in stinctively posscssive air which l know was not lost upon my em- ployer, a word which l force myself to use when thinking or speaking of Philip Veritzen. but which seems an anomaly when I consider his exquisite courtesy and deference to my opinion whenever we are In con- ference.
 "Ah. Mrs. Graham" he said, lift ing his hat with a magnificent ges ture and keeping 1t In his hand as he talked. This is distinct piece of good fortune. I did not know that you were at home this fore noon, or I would have telephoned you, and I meant to try to get in touch with you at the library or the museum. Oh. I'm sorry. I'm afraid I'm interrupting you"
 Hugh Feels the Afrront
 His manner gave the subtle i'm pression that he had just realized Hugh vas escorting me. that before he had thought him some sort of lacley. It was nothing that one could label even with a haby's finger, but I caught 1t, and I knew psychi- cally that Hugh had recognized if, also. The knowledge gave an edge

10 my voice, for l found myself rec senting the slight to my old friend, although if I had been honest with i my own heart l would have ad- mitted that of the two men 1t was not Hugh Grantland whose voice and appearance were accelerating my pulses in most exasperating fashion.
 It was rather a sketchy introduc- tion. therefore, that l managed, and though the two men were scrupu- iously courteous in their acknowl- edgment and the perfunctory chat ter which followed. I had the iudi- crous impression that they were like two strange mastiffs. who watch each other warily, trying to deter mine the most advantageous mo- ment for combat.
 Battle Note Is Sounded
 Hurriedly I seized the conversa- tional reins, with the resolution that would lose no time in closing the interview as soon as I could man. age It gracefully.
 T am snatching a few hours off today" I said, with an apologetic little smile to Mir. Veritzen, of which I hoped Hugh did not catch the significance. Everything is in readiness for tomorrow. except for perhaps three hours work, which shall have ample time to get in be- fore the conference. Was there anything especial about which you wished to talk to me-"
 Mir. Veritzen drew his mani1cent- ly arched eyebrows together with an inscrutable air.
 Why, yes" he said. '1 had planned 10 call our conference for this afternoon instead of tomorrow. It would not matter whether or not you had quite f'Nashed the outlined work. But I am afraid you have made other nlans.'
 Hugh Grantland struck In quickly decisively.
 Yes, she has, he said.

'i Ou act to nc as if you Nc:t afraid" said Mrs. Grouse
 tarily

Hunters" replied Mr. Grouse Do you need to ask? Then I ran across one Of Bob Whites children hiding in the edge of the Green Forest. He had only one leg. and you know that is pretty tough on q bird that lires on the ground as much as the Bob Whites do.''
 Mrs. Grouse sighed. T suppose that was due to the hunters, too,' said she.
 "Of course," replied Mir. Grouse. That leg was shot off. He gets along after a fashion. but it's pret- ty hard work. That is the worst of these terrible guns. If they always killed it wouldn't be so bad; but this hurting folks and leaving them 10 suffer is what makes it so terrible" <"
 Have-have you heard from any of our children?" inquired Mrs. Grouse anxiously
 MT. Grouse nodded Most Of them have kept to the Green Forest '" said he, "and of course they are safer there than they would be out side, where the hunters are. Two or three who have foolishly failed to heed my advice and have gone off Farmer Browns land have had ter rible frishts. and one of them was pretty sick for two or three days with a shot from terrible gun. However, so far none has been kill ed"
 Mrs. Grouse sighed. I'm thank ful for that, said she. T do hope they'll have sense enough to stay where the hunters cannot find them until after this terrible hunting sea- son, Now you see why I am not so badly off. I have no hunters to fear here. Hello, here comes Farmer Browns Boy, He must be bringing my breakfast"
 Mir. Grouse turned and looked hastily. and with a roar of his stout wings he whirred away through the old Orchard 10 the Green Forest.

Mir. Grouse was very nervous. He was having a wonderful breakfast of handful of buckwheat that Farm CT Browns Boy had dropped just outside the pen where Mrs Grouse was living, but he wasn't enjoying that breakfast as he would have en- ioyed good breakfast in the Green Forest. Each time he picked up q grain of buckwheat he looked all about him anxiously. He was so nervous that he made Mrs. Grouse nervous
 Whats the matter with your" she demanded.
 Nothing" replied Mr. Grouse, stretching up as high as he could and looking all about.
 You act to me as if you were afraid,' said Mrs. Grouse tartly You needn't be. Nothing is going to hurt you over here. Now tell me the news of the Green Forest"
 There isn't any news," replied Mr. Grouse, picking Up q grain of buckWheat.
 Anything I don't know is news" retorted Mrs. Grouse. And I don't know thing about what is going on over in the Green Forest since left Has that hunter with the ter rible gun been back? ?"
 Mir. Grouse nodded. "Once.' said he. He came back the day after you were shot, but Farmer Browns Boy chased him away and he hasn't been back since. But one never knows when q hunter may appear. There are some dreadful things hap pening."
 "Tell me about them," command ed Mrs. Grouse.
 Well" said Mir. Grouse, T sup pose you know that Mir. and Mrs. l.ongbill the Woodcock have lost three of their children"
 What cried Mrs. Grouse. What happened to them?"

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and Of Hygcia.
 the Health Magazine

When winter comes, the home is heated by a stoYe. by hot air from a central furnace. by hot water, or steamboat radiation or perhaps by the use of an electric heater.
 In general, hot water. steam, or hot air furnaces give better heat from the standpoint of health than gas or oil heaters. or poorly cared for coal stoves.
 Stoves of various types sometimes give rise 10 gases in the air of rooms and must be constantly watched as to the perfection of the combustion.
 Oil heaters properly constructed usually are safe, but there arc many types on the market which are not safe
 The temperature of the room m which one sleeps should be between 55 and GO degrees Fahrenheit. If it is impossible. however 10 maintain the w&rmor temperature, the body must b" properly protected by coverings.
 The great difficulty in the atmos- nherc of rooms in the winter is the lack of moisture, This can be aided ny tho usc of proper air moistcning devices, which are. however some what expensive.
 Moisture may be added 10 the air in tho rooms by evaporating water in large pans. which may be placed on the tops of the radiators The surface must be sufficiently wide so that at last 2 gallon of water is taken up each day by the air of tho room.
 Outdoor air is not harmful. r. the upper sash is lowered 6 10 inches and the lower sash raised one or two feet. an electric fan pointed to- ward the windows will keep the air in motion and will prevent the stir ring np Of dust in the room.

 If some good fairy should appear, and offer to grant your hearts de- sire. what would you choose?
 Wealth? It's a transient thing that brings ifs own cares.
 Happiness? It's an elusive thing which we keep by giving away.
