IColor Interpretation i'm Styles

Lightweight woolens for frocks are
in the foreground of the autumn
mode. An interesting entrant into
the realm of smart fabrics is wool
crepe. Wool georgette is also a popu-
lar theme with the couture of Paris.
Both of these fabrics give excellent
service, and possess delightful wear
ing qualities for the schoolgirl.
Among woolens stressed for the max
ing of the unitarian dress, one sees
considerable navy reps. 1t shows up
handsomely stitched with red, One
gets satisfaction out of its excellent
wearing qualities as well as delight,
i'm that it does not retain dust and
lint.
Kasha is another favorite cloth, be-
ing especially popular in beige and
brown shades. Novelty stripes are
prominently featured in kasha.
Smart daytime ensembles use kasha
for the dress, also for the lining of
matching velveteen coat.
Higi-c"lOred imported fabrics shed
glory upon the daytime mode. For
the three-piece ensemble they are adj
Avantageously used in the making of
the blouse, the skirt and jacket being
fashioned of a blended solid coloring.

THE SEWING
CORNER
prepared by the United States Department
Of Auricultura

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
While it is not always possible to
devote an entire room especially to
sewing, during the period in the fall
and spring when sewing is done in
many homes, on an extensive scale,
it is a good idea to arrange at least
corner of convenient room for this
work. There should be a good light,
TO begin with, and space enough
should be planned so that partly fin
ished garments on the dress form or
on hangers may be left as they are
from one sewing period to the next
Having a nearby closet with plenty of
shelves, or roomy chest of draw
ers in which to keep materials, find
ings and incomplete work also is an
aid to orderly and rapid dressmaking.
All sewing tools, including the sew
ing machine, should be in good order
before the beginning of that busy sea-
son just preceding the opening of
school and college. Some of the sup
plies to be checked up are: Sharp
scissors, accurate tape line, plenty of
pins, needles, threads and sewing silk
of different sizes and colors, snappers,
hooks and eyes, elastic, tape, dress
shields, betting, bias bindings and
other materials you are in the habit
of using. If you are making any
underwear requiring buttons, keep
supply of common size on hand. Pro-

Riddles Bedtime Story
BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER


Ada was six and half years old.
She had dark hair and gray eyes, and
her arms and legs and mouth and nose
and ears were much like those of her
friends if you were trying to describe
them, though Ada really didn't look
much like any one.
Nothing had ever happened in Ada's
life that was interesting to other peo-
pie. That seemed too bad, for so
much had happened in Ada's life that
was extremely interesting to herself.
There were all the games she liked
ing and all the places she enjoyed Wis
iting, and around all of these there
were most delightful happenings.
But alas, only to herself.
Sometimes she thought Of something
she might do that would make others
notice her; for example, she thought
OF fainting away.
That would certainly make people
pay attention to her. She had heard
that if you put wet blotting paper in
your shoes you would faint away.
She tried it once. But she hadn't
tainted.
She had only felt uncomfortable
with the wet crumbling plotting paper
next to the soles of her stockinged
feet. .. .,.. .. s...
And when her mother had discov-
cred her wet stockings she had mere
ly been punished and there was no
fun in that
1t was a pity the way families had
of always discovering wet feet.
Now, who In the world would think
of discovering wet feet when the
shoes weren't wet, and when the wet
ness wasn't in plain sight? And yet
they could.
- 1t was certainly pity.
So she thought she would have to
go off somewhere and have very won
derful adventures. The more she
thought about it the more she liked
the idea.
She began thinking of those who
would like adventures, too.

Foresees BottIe-Fed Marion

There is danger of bottle-feeding
becoming craze, declared DR.. A F..
G. Sparks, prominent English doc
tor, at recent maternity and child
welfare conference at Newcastle-on-
Tyne, England. Unless bottle-feeding
for infants is checked, he said, the
nation would become bottIe-fed with
consequent loss in, efficiency. His re-
marks were confirmed by other medi-
cal men. The sheriff of Newcastle
suggested that welfare centers teach
fathers how to keep babies asleep at
night

SEASONABLE RECIPES

Chestnut Patties.-After boiling and
blanching a pint of chestnuts, add
One-half cupful of cream to two
rounded tablespoonful Of butter, one
and one-half cupfuls of milk, two we'll
beaten eggs, onefourth cupful of
sugar and salt to season. Pour into
patty tins and bake quickly.
Marrons Glace.-We find these now
in our best shops and they are well
worth the price asked for them:
Shell and blanch the nuts and thor
oughly dry them. Boil until not too
tender. When cool insert a toothpick
in each nut. To make the glace put
one pound of granulated sugar and
one scant cupful of water in a sauce
pan and let stand until the sugar Is
dissolved. Set over the heat where 1t
may boil without stirring or jarring.
When bubbles begin to look heavy,
drop a teaspoonful of the strip into
a cupful of cold water. II it is brittle
and makes clicking sound, add two
tablespoonful Of vinegar and lift at
once from the fire. Set the pan in hot
water and dip the chestnuts one by
one into the strip. Remove the
toothpicks and place on oiled paper
to harden. If the glace Is not good,
dip again.
When lamb steaks are casseroled.
make a bed of vegetables such as
peas, carrots, parsnip or turnip un-
derneath. Put the steak well Drowned
on top, sprinkling well with minced
onion and celery; afterward pour
over the gravy, thickened.
Chicken is delicious served en- cas-
serole with mushrooms and potatoes.
A dash of onion and green pepper also
improves the chicken, veal or rabbit.
Beef Tongue en- casserole.-Take
tongue which has been lightly corned,
boil it after trimming we'll. Then re-
move the skin and rub with flour to
which has been added a dash of GIN
ger and allspice. Fry an onion
(sliced) in salt pork, then put in the
tongue, tying it into shape. Fry
lightly, browning it on all sides.
Make cupful Of gravy, adding the
juice of lemon, three tablespoonfuls
of shredded almonds, and one-half
cupful of seeded raisins. Put the
tongue into round casserole, pour
the gravy over it and bake one-half
hour in moderate oven. Unite the
meat, turn on chop plate and serve
with the gravy poured over it.
Lemon added to a honey-dew melon
brings out its flavor to perfection. 1t
is usually served with honey-dew in
most hotels.

MOTHER!
II Child Doesn't Laugh and Play
If Constructed
If Consttpated

A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full Of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's ailment,
give teaspoonful of California Fig
Syrup" then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and in few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently move
out of the bowels, and you will have a
well, playful child again. A thorough
"inside cleansing is ofttimes all that
is necessary. It should be the first
treatment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.

tablespoonful of butter into frying
pan, add one tablespoonful of flour
and mix until smooth and brown, then
add a cupful of the stock in which the
nuts were cooked, stir until smooth,
add salt and pepper to taste, pour
over the chestnuts and serve.
Sweet Picked chestnuts-This is
a delicious cOndiment: Take seven
pounds of chestnuts from which the
shells and skins have been removed,
to three pounds of sugar. Pack the
uncooked chestnuts in jars. Boil the
sugar in sufficient vinegar to fill the
jars, making allowance for waste in
boiling. If the vinegar is very strong
dilute it with a little water. When
the sugar and vinegar have come to
boil, pour over the chestnuts and let
stand twenty-four hours. Repeat this
for three days.

The points on which attention Is
centered in fitting a One-piece dress
are the shoulders, the unde--arm
seams, the sleeves, the neck, and the
hemline. Any decorative features
must be planned with care so that they
are of the right size to harmonic with
the entire costume and the build of
the wearer, and they must be located
with reference to the other lines of
the garment as well as to their use.
For example, the length Of the front
opening, or the depth of set-in plated
sections, or the size and position Of
pockets, are matters to be decided for
each individual.
Shoulder Seam Acts as Anchor.
A properly placed shoulder seam
acts as an anchor to well-ftted gar
ment, says the bureau of home eco
nomics. 1t influences the set of the
waist and sleeves and the hang of
the skirt. Therefore it should be To-
Gated most carefully, and the Shout
ders should be the first part fitted.
The under-arm seam in one-piece
dress should be perpendicular to the
floor. If it tits backward or for
ward, the back or the front of the
dress will swing out correspondingly
at the bottom. Sometimes this defect
is corrected by taking darts in the
front section below the armseye and
at the hip line, and sometimes it may
be necessary to raise the back of the
dress at the shoulders and trim out
the armhole, rather than to turn up
the hem at points where the bottom
seems to sag.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1927-10-14

When ready to turn up the hem 1t
ON table, so that the filter can
measure the distance accurately to
the level surface of the table. If a
dress is to have belt, tape-line or
other means of combining the waist
fitness it should be correctly placed on
the form before measurements from
the floor are begun, or the finished
dress will be shorter than was in
tended and possibly uneven. A rigid
skirt gauge is help, either one made
especially for the purpose or ruler,
but not tape measure. The height
of the skirt from the floor is partly
matter of the height, weight and fig
ure Of the, person who is to wear the
garment and partly matter Of the
seasons styles.
Basting, Stitching and Pressing.
Accurate basting and stitching and
careful pressing are essential in
well-fitted garment. Stitching must
follow near enough to the line of bast-
ing that the size Of the garment will
not be altered. Press each seam as
it is finished, especially when work
ing with silk or wool materials. One
final pressing will not produce the
same results. Turn the shoulder and
underarm seams toward the front If
they are not pressed open. Turn the
armhole seam and shoulder darts to-
ward the neck. Many other fine points
about fitting and making a dress will
be found in Farmers Bulletin 1530-F,
Fitting Dresses and Blouses," which
may be obtained by writing to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington, d. G.

Timely Hints

Vegetables canned are an "ounce of
prevention" against monotonous win
ter meals.
A good bread pudding is better and
more nutritious than many higher
priced desserts.
Fresh pineapple and strawberries
make as good beginning to a break
fast as an end to a dinner.
1t isn't much more trouble to install
pump in the kitchen than in the
back yard, but it means miles less
walking in the course of a year.
Substitute whole wheat flour for
half of the white flour the next time
you make biscuits and get new flavor
that is as delicious as it is wholesome.

Making Corned Beef Hash

A good many people do not know
exactly how to make an appetizing
corned beef hash. There are several
"tricks" to it, according to the bureau
of home economics. One is having
about equal amounts of cooked meat
and potato. Another is in grinding
the meat and potato together. A third
point is in tiavOring with a little
minced onion and a dash of cayenne
pepper for piquancy. Generally there
is enough salt in corned beef to sea-
son the mixture.
