Paris Ensembles

may look somewhat plain in char acter, it maintains in this very simplicity an undeniable air of quality and a number of details that render it sufficiently elegant to differentiate it easily from sports or informal clothes.
 Skirts Arc Long and Full
 This type of early afternoon en- semble, as it is now called, is classified under two general head ings. They are: the skirt or dress and short jacket, and the long coat with contrasting dress. The first is more popular this season, because newer. A quiet air of ele- gance is derived from the cut, bor- rowed from the lines of the more formal afternoon gowns. The neck line, for instance, on the dress, Is more generously decollete than 1t would be on a sports dress. The skirt is inclined to be long and rather full, and while trimming or decoration is essentially feminine, 1t retains an air of great sim plicity.
 For this type of ensemble maintain a medium standard of formality so far as fabric is con- cerned.
 Trimming Must Be Simple Lingerie touches at the neck and sleeves can be added, but they must always be simple and unaf- fected. Intricate tucking combined with lace or embroidery on lingerie trimming is best suited to the more formal type of afternoon gown. As befitting an ensemble of medium elegance, every detail that enters into its composition must follow the same lead. Fur trim ming, for example, must be utterly lacking in ostentation, yet on the other hand, must bear no trace of a parismonious spirit. It must look the part 1t plays, that of soft ening the whole ensemble and lending the necessary wintry touch.
 ColOrs Aren't Too Vivid This idea of elegant discretion which is the general rule in the makeup of these simple afternoon ensembles also applies to color. In this category you will find the seasons newest colorings in pref erence to the more conventional black. but the colors chosen must never be too vivid either.
 With the discreet, but neverthe- less very decided return of em- broidery, simple afternoon model can well be soberly trimmed a multi-colored embroidery provided of course, that the tones chosen | harmonize with the general ensem- ble. To avoid any showiness. silk or wool embroidery Is generally preferred, and if beads enter into play, they should be chosen in the dull kind.
 The hat that is called upon to accompany these simple afternoon clothes must evidence the same reserve. Felt is the surest medium and the elegance to be found in it's shape and details will never risk It's being taken for sports hat.

She laid these on the goods and cut according to pattern, allowing one half inch on all sides for seams and cutting two pieces for each pattern. She pasted the white cording in place and stitched 1t on top. Then she pasted the cording between the two pieces for each side. When these were all stitched she pasted them in place on upper top. Next she pasted the under piece of top in place and stitched three sides. Tn the case so made she inserted the padding, and after turning in edge of lower piece stitched the case on this edge to close 1t entirely. She quilted the pads. She made eyelets using heavy embroidery cotton, stiletto and buttonhole stitch. Through these eyelets she ran the lacing cords after the seat pads were in place on the chairs.

In the French provincial bed room of Dorothy Greens home were some rather simple chairs. The frame work was in good con dition but the seats needed uphol- stering.
 Dorothy wondered why she could not make some sort of seat pads for the chairs and when she wOn- dered about a thing results usual ly followed.
 She purchased some semi-glazed chintz. some cord and tassels. some ready to use cordlng and stitched padding such as Is used for mat tress or table pads.
 Not being able to find a pattern which suited her in ths chintz she chose a plain color. Later she quilted this in white.
 She laid 0 piece of heavy paper on the seat and cut a top pattern the exact size. She did the same fOr aidaa

Sister Mary's
 Kitchen

If you are in search of new, ap- petizing vegetable dishes to tempt the family palate, you win tlnd ( wealth of possibilities in lxaie, kolil- rabi turnips, parsnips, beets, winter carrots, cabbage and onions. These good cool weather vege- tables possess certain dietary qualities which are most desirable and should not be overlooked. Kaie very capably takes the place of spinach. Turnips and parsnips are valuable because they supply bulk, always necessary in the diet, and some carbohydrates. These vega matter and fair amount of vita- mins.
 When cooking these vegetables, one should remember that their structure is quite different from that of the succulent summer vegetables. Boiling water or intense oven heat are necessary to soften woody flores of turnips, beets and the like. They also must be cooked as quickly as possible in a generous amount of water. These precau- | tions prevent them from becoming soggy and unappetizing both in taste and appearance. Be sure to add salt to root and tuber vege- tables while they are cooking as this greatly improves their flavor. These vegetables require more salt to season them than do the delicate summer vegetables.
 Kohl-rabi is delicious served with mock Hollandaise sauce. It Is also good in a white sauce tot which cheese has been added and it is appetizing served au gratin.
 Kale scalloped with bacon is nourishing and appetizing. Baked beets are superior to or- dinary boiled beets.
 Baked onions, French fried onions, creamed onions, onion soup the ways to cook onions are many and they are all excellent. | Carrot timbales served with cheese sauce make an excellent main dish for luncheon or supper. | To-morrow's Menu
 BREAKFAST: Baked apples, cereal, cream, plain omelet, crisp toast, milk, coffee.
 LUNCHEON: Kale scalloped with becon, celery hearts, old- fashioned bread pudding, milk, tea.
 DINNER: Pot roast of beef, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, parsnip patty cakes, canned pears with spice cake, milk, coffee. l Parsnip pattycakes will be liked with chicken or beef roast. Kale scalloped with bacon is an unusually good dish for a family luncheon.
 Kale Scalloped with Bacon | Two cups cooked and chopped kale, tablespoons butter, ? egg yolks, 1-2 teaspoon salt, 1-3 tea spoon each paprika and pepper. few gratings nutmeg, tablespoon fine bread crumbs.
 Cut becon in dice and cook un- til crisp. Drain and keep hot. Combine kale with butter. egg yolks. salt, pepper, paprika and nutmeg. Put half in a buttered baking dish.

q MEN EXECUTED
IN TURKISH Town
MosIemS Swung From Glib
bets for Participation in
Revolt Activities.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
MENEMEN, Turkey, February s.
The bodies of % Turkish Moslem reac-
tionaries swung from gibbets in the cold
Balkan wind today in a stern warning
from the republic that the days of the
Caliphate have passed forever.
Singly and in some cases b. groups
the condemned men, convicted of lead
ing an abortive revolutionary movement
here December %, were led at dawn
from their cells to the gallows, where
Gypsy hangmen, western caps oddly
topping baggy Turkish trousers and
scarlet sasheS, swung them aloft.
Because of the martial law which has
been in effect since the revolt, citizens
were kept in their homes until 8 am.
and there were almost no witnesses to
the executions beyond few officials.
An occasional scream could be heard
from women peeping from behind shut
tered windows, however, and with the
ADVANCE OF day Shuddering crowds
passed the gruesome scene.
Prison Cheerful Place.
Perhaps the only cheerful place in
Menemen today was the prison, where
seven persons rejoiced because their
sentences were committed at the last
moment from death to "a years impris-
onment. These were all over SIS or
under 20 years of age. One of these
was an 18-year-old shepherd boy, who
when asked why he prayed continually
replied that he was thanking the soul
of his dead mother for not having
brought him into the world two years
earlier.
Thirty-two gibbets were erected yes
terday for the condemned, but at the
last moment the Turkish Parliament
at Angora, committed the sentences of
two, and two others, terrified at the
approach of their hour of doom, died
of heart disease. The four unneeded
gallows were torn down during the
night.
In cases where it was possible the
gibbets were erected on the spots where
the condemned men harangued the
Meneman populace two days before the
Christian Christmas and pleaded with
them to arise in behalf of Islam, de-
stroy the Western innovation of Musta-
pha Renal Pasha, the gazi, replace the
derby with fez and restore the cali
phate of Allah's golden age.
Others Sent to Prison.
A young Turkish Army officer, seeing
what was happening, rushed to give the
alarm. He was caught by the reac-
tionaries, who included dervisheS and
fanatical Moslems of the wild noun
tain country, and was beheaded. Troops
and police put down the movement and
hundreds of arrests followed.
Besides those condemned to die in the
ensuing trials Al dervishes, priests
and their acolytes, must serve sentences
of to "a years hard labor for Clan
destine religious practices and failure
to notify the government of the machi-
nations of Sheik ESsad, the leader of
the movement.
Sheik ESsad, aged SO and known as
the rasputin of Turkey, because of his
unusual power with women, was one of
those condemned to be hanged, but he
cheated the gallows with natural death
in his cell last week.

BUICK RECORDS
REGISTRATION
INCREASE
Both in District and Entire
Nation New Cars Indicate
Demand Restoring Itself

A gain in the number Of new
car registrations for June, 1881,
over June Of last year, both in
the District of Columbia and in
the national total, was scored by
the Buick Motor Company, ac-
cording to Emerson and Orme,
local Buick dealers quoting fig
ureS compiled by R. L. Polk &
Company's motor statistical de.
partment. The June registrations
this year were 1886 for Buick,
whereas last year they were $3.50
in the same month.
The figures cover all States
and the District of Columbia. The
gain was contributed to by %
States and the District Of Colum-
bia. Some Of the highlights Of
the Buick figures are:
California registered 778 Bucks
this year, as against 568 in June,
1890. In Colorado the Buick
registrations were 118 this June,
and 96 a year ago. Massachu-
setts made a substantial gain,
516 this June over 386 last June.
The Missouri figures we're 272 as
against 157, those for New York,
1853 VS.. 1,165.

FUEL SALE HERE
ON INCREASE

A marked increase in sales is
reported by the Griffith Consul
mers Compan Washington's
largest coal and fuel oil concern.
Figures for the first six months
of 1881 show that sales during
this period exceeded the same
period of 1880 and that collec-
tions also were better. While
complete figures are not yet
available on summer sales, re-
ports indicate that practically as
many people stored their coal
this summer, as in previous years,
said Charles H. st. John, vice
president of the company:
"The indications for i'm
proved business conditions are
very encouraging. Sales Of fuel
oil generally conceded to be a
guage of business activity. On
that basis, then, business in
Washington is in a healthy con-
ditiOn. Coal and fuel oil have
more than held heir own
while building materials have
shown . sharp advance. The
business Of our company, at
least, points the way to q
healthy business revival"

INSURED RATES
|NN,Y. RAISED

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-An
average increase of IS per cent
in the rates for workmen's COM
pensation insurance in this State,
effective September /, was au.
thorized by George S. Van
schaick, State Superintendent of
Insurance. Several other States
also have authorized increases.
This action was instigated by
the Compensation Insurance Rat
ing Board, which filed a new
schedule with the superintendent
several weeks ago. Hearings were
held by the department and lit
tie opposition was expressed.
The new rates, which represent
advances in addition to the 1913
per cent average increase granted
the first of the year, provide that
the rates in the manufacturing
group shall be advanced II per
cent and those in the contract
ing group 9 per cent. All other
classes of industrial activity in
which workmen's compensation
insurance is required will be ad-
vanced 13 per cent.
Mr.. Van Schaick pointed out
that this was an average increase
of only 13 per cent, but that
modification in the experience
rating plan would have the ef-
feet of increasing the premiums
collectable by 2 per cent, max
ing the total average increase
IS per cent.
