AUTUMN
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

In apple blossom time people go to
the Shenandoah for festival. Crowds
flock into Washington for Easter to see
the cherry blossoms. Azaleas bring
people across the continent in Spring
to Charleston and in April the meanest
red-hill hamlet in Georgia is trans
formed by peach blow. And all this is
right and as it should be.
But what cannot understand is why
nobody goes to the country to look upon
the harvest No need to go far, either.
Frederick County, Md, to single out but
one of many spots, at this time of year
IS land of milk and honey; or better
still, of cream in old crooks in COOL
lizard-haunted springhouses, and of
sheets of gold where the harvest fields
stand cleaned or waiting for the
cleaner. 1t is a spectacle more rich
and somber, more Sumptuous and
freighted with fulfilled splendor than
the orchards of Springs. 1t is the
golden crown of all the years.
One will not see here, save in back
ward districts, the European harvester
the man reaping his steep. solitary
field alone by sickle, nor the bare
footed girl with peoples in her hair, nor
yet the bouquet of wheat and oats. and
barley and pine boughs hung above
the barn door, symbol that the harvest
Is in. But we have our own sights and
sounds-the roar and the amber dust
Of the threshing machines. the laughter
of the children riding home on the hay
ricks, the warfare of the crows and
grackles in the turning woods, and the
ageing of apples in the cider presses.
Then night falls. the workers sleep. the
fields are stripped, and the crickets
change in the midnight chill of the
naked fields.

Matching Belts and Hatbands
BY MARY MARSHALL.

price that might have been considered
no more than fair price for the shoes
| alone.
| I have not heard of any of the mil
liners who have sold hat and a scarf
or hat and a frock, let us say, for the
price of the hat, still. suppose it would
please customers if they did. A mil
liner I know, however, sells compile
mentary-not complimentary-belt to
go with some of her new hats. They
are made of the same betting ribbon or
leather that is used to band the hat
and they link up the hat and costume
in simple, satisfactory manner.
Let me tell you of a new trick that
may interest you if you are buying a
new fur coat or are making plans to
have your old one relined-or I should
perhaps say, one of your old ones, for
I was told today that no woman's cold
weather wardrobe was complete with
out at least four fur coats. This is the
trick that is good one whether you
have one or dozen coats. 1t is a scarf
made of silk to match the lining of
the coat, and some of the smart new
fur coats are made with these matching
ScarfS so there is no reason why when
you have yours lined you should not
ask to have a square of the silk re-
served for the same purpose. These
silk scarfS are worn folded in front
under the fur coat.
To give smart and becoming touch
to your nightgowns. slips and other
pieces of lingerie you should have some
of the new posies made of ribbon. They
are not at all difficult to make and
need very. very little ribbon. If you
will send me a stamped, self-addressed
envelope I will gladly send you full
directions for making them.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, September IL.

Astrologers read tomorrow as rather
an unimportant day in planetary direc-
ton. Under this rule it is we'll to de-
vote more attention to the world of the
mind than to the domain of material
| things.
This is an unfavorable direction of
the stars for dealing with banks or
bankers Ones financial status may be
peculiarly depressing.
Women will do we'll to be careful
when they go shopping while this con-
figuration prevails, for they may spend
more than they can afford.
Under this planetary government
there may be much tendency toward
libel in the public prints and other
wise. 1t is we'll to think twice before
speaking.
Much intrigue and deception may be
prevalent at this time, when Neptune
frowns upon the earth.
Women may be inclined to be tenn
peramental and exacting tomorrow,
especially in money matters. They
should discipline themselves and prac-
tice self-sacrifice.
All the signs appear to indicate that
Autumn weddings will be numerous,
but they may be even less successful
than is usual, even in this modern
social world.
The seers announce that the peak of
liberty and license in love making and
marriage has been reached, and that
after this year there will be greater
domestic stability.
After the Autumn ingress there may
be many signs of warfare in Europe,
astrologerS foretell. The world will
continue to be in state of fermenta-
ton.
There is a sign of promise for indus
try everywhere in the United States,
and there should be marvellous increase
of prosperity.
Women are to enjoy much pertain
ing to the finer things of life, If the
stars are rightly read. Art and music
will flourish.
The stars that encourage all the
feminine characteristics will have a
strong influence all through the Au-
tumn, changing fashions and manners.
Persons whose birth date is tomor-
row may have many unusual and
strange experiences in the coming year.
Secret plans may prove unfortunate.
These subjects of Virgo may be too
much inclined to indulge in extrava-
gance.
Children born tomorrow may be
dreamers who care little for worldly
success. The subjects of this sign
probably will be talented, and many
may have the touch of genius They
will not brook any sort of interference
in their careers

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

September IL. 179O.-President Wash
ington returned to Mount Vernon to-
day, thus bringing to an end his tour
of the Eastern States. He will take a
rest of few weeks and then enter upon
the execution of the law of Congress
authorizing him to select site for the
Federal Capital somewhere on the Po-
tomac River between the Eastern
Branch and Conocochegue Greek, Md.
a distance of 81 miles as the crow
flies.
Congress babe farewell to New York
in Philadelphia next December for the
third session of the first Congress
Four DAYS after adjournment President
Washington left New York on tour
through Rhode Island and other East
ern States. Although Congress passed
the law for the location of the Federal
City before adjournment there is nc
record of Gen. Washington having yet
taken any steps to select the exact
location.
While the Presidents plane are not
known to the public, 1t is believed by
persons close to him that he will make
personal inspection Of various pro-
posed sites for the Federal City be-
tween the mouth of the Eastern Branch
and Conocochegue Creek, probably
making the journey by horseback next
month
Nothing is known officially as to the
Presidents personal views on the mat
ter, but the subject is being discussed
in lively fashion by persons living in
Georgetown and Alexandria and those
living in Hagerstown and Sharpsburg
in Maryland, and Shepherdstown, in
Virginia, all of which are near Conoco-
cheague Creek.
1t is urged by residents of towns on
or near the upper river that the Situa-
ton there is more healthy and 1t will
be nearer to the fast developing farm
ing region of the interior and to the
territory west of the mountains. They
point out that already there are many
thriving towns in this vicinity.
Advocates of the Eastern Branch To-
cation say that every advantage men,
toned for the upper site is overbal-
anced by the fact that the mouth OF
the Eastern Branch is the head of tide
water, and there would be free pas
sage for oceangoing ships to the pro-
posed new city. They declare that the
proper place to build great city Is at
point where ships from the sea can
penetrate farthest inland to trade with
the interior.
Gen. Washington, on account of his
residence at Mount Vernon, Is familiar
with the Eastern Branch location, but
it is understood that he intends to in
spect it as we'll as the others before
announcing a decision.

Supper Surprise.

Hard boil four fresh eggs. It is
difficult to remove the shells from
hard-cooked eggs. and for this reason,
unless the eggs are to be served to very
young children, they may be boiled six
or eight minutes. Plunge them in cold
water and peel at once. Have red and
green vegetable coloring extract at
hand. While the eggs are still hot
press a Glove into one end and an
apple stem into the other end. Hold
ing the egg in the left hand with the
finger and thumb pressing into the
ends, color the sides with the red
coloring, making occasional green
streaks. Place each egg at the corner
of platter and fill the center with
creamed sweetbreads or creamed as
paragus. Colored and shaped while
hot, the eggs dc not really resemble
eggs at all, but apples instead, and
create much interest

There is one thing you must consider
when going on a diet That is the
amount of protein you have in each
days food ration. There Is such a
thing, incidentally, as having too much.
So it upsets the system. This has hap
pened when unskilled people have
given out diet lists. But you should
have about $50 to $50 protein calories
a day, reducing or not. 1t is this food
element which repairs waste, or, if
young. makes you grow.
So every days diet should include one
pint of SKINNED milk or buttermilk.
The caloric value of this is 160, of
which nearly half is protein. Also the
days diet should include level table
spoonful of butter for the valuable vita
min A which butter contains; or the
butter could be avoided and the
skinned milk changed to whole milk
1t comes to the same thing, for the
butter is 100 calorieS.
Cheese has the most concentrated

ton of cheese will have about IS
calories of protein. fYou do not count
these up separately, by the way) Very

Everyday Law Cases
May Will, it Lost, Be Established
By Testimony?
BY THE COUNSELLOR

Five days after making his will Mr.
Spencer died. He had been Ill for
several weeks and had been unable to
leave his bed.
After his death John Rich, his close
friend and adviser, looked for the will
in the safe where it had been placed,
but found that it was missing.
Seeking to carry out Mr.. Spencer's
desires, Rich filed a petition in court
asking permission to establish the will,
offering to bring in clear and convinc-
ing proof of its provisions.
However,, several heirs who felt that
they had been neglected in the will
objected to the procedure.
The court, however, permitted the
will to be proven, stating:
THE general rule is that will lost
before the death of the testator con-
tinues legally effective if the loss was
unknown to the testator and it may be
established in probate proceedings"

utes. two cupfuls of sugar and one cup
full of water Cool and store in glass

portions are good: One cupful of
orange and lemon juices mixed, half a
cupful of sugar sirup and one bottle of
loganberry juice or ginger ale added
just before serving Half cupful of
tea infusion may also be used. If so,
garnish with mint and slices of orange
or lemon.
