Wash crystals away from side of
saucepan as mixture cooks. Cook
slowly during latter part of period
so that syrup will not darken. Re-
move from flame and Set saucepan
into boiling water. Note: A double
boiler may be used for this. Add
coloring and favoring and stir just
enough to mix well.
Holding apple by skewer, plunge
it into hot syrup. Draw it out quick
ly and twirl it until the syrup runs
down to the stick and spreads
smoothly over the apple. Stand
skewer in small glass or cake
rack so that apple will not touch
anything while cooling.
Apples should be made the day
they are to be used because moist
ure from apple will soften candy
and make it sticky. Dipping must
be done rapidly or syrup will be-
come too stiff for coating.

achieving that air of elegance SO
characteristic of this seasons fash
ions. The classic simplicity of the
handsome flared skirt of monotone
net sets off the glory of the superbly
beautiful metallic embroidered lace
basque to perfection. The resplen-
dent bib necklace and wide brace
lets are just such as fashion de-
crees shall be worn on gala occa-
sions with ones handsomest gown.
+ When very voluminous skirt is
of black lace with a deep founce of
matching lace about the very wide
hemline, when the bodice blouse
worn with it is of cerise red satin
with mantilla-like lace fichu en-
veloping the shoulders as pictured
to the left in the group, you sense,
and rightly so, that the costume re-
fleets Spanish influence You know
also that the ensemble interprets
the "last word" in high fashion.
Also the message of exquisite black
lace for evening wear is conveyed
to you in unmistakable terms. The
separate little shoulder cape or
fichu is decided feature of eve
ming dresses this season.
The flair for lace is, however, not
confined to formal dress. On the
daytime program lace is assigned
a leading role. One of the cleverest
uses of lace is to trim sheer black
wool or crepe afternoon frocks with
black lace edging in exactly the
same manner as val lace edging is
used on lingerie dresses and blouses.
You will find these trimmed
blacks very f1attsring and youthful
in aspect as thsy are styled with
naive simplicitys

Few houses are being built to-
day without two bathrooms, or at
least bathroom and extra lava
tory In the modernization of an
old house, consideration should be
given to this feature.
Plumbing authorities have found
that the essential fixtures of bath
room can be installed in a floor
space which measures five feet one
way and six feet the other. Space
at the unused end of the hallway
often may be converted into an ex-
ira bathroom, and in some cases
an diversified bedroom may be con-
verified into guest suite by parti-
tioning it and including a bathroom.

the possibility the fair would op-

in the spring of 1910 for a short
summer season.

The success of the 1910 opening
plan still was up in the air when
Leland Cutler, president of the ex-
position, called in reporters and is
sued a statement announcing the
Oct. % closing.
"This decision will enable the ex-

month of October the entertain

have otherwise been presented over
a period of two months" Cutler
said.
