P'RST cool dns at fashionable Autumn
resorts bring out n end of stunning
suits straight from Parisian tailors.
.Exquisite In the rich tones of falling
leaves and changing rfirwbbery, Vschoee
of these smart garments roach Mlladi
'who has returned to city life and rouse i
her to the realization; that Fall and
fashions are once more at hand.
The tailored suit is of flrst considera
tl6n in the wardrobe, and it he the goftn
above all others which determines n
woman's smart appearance. Otlmr
frocks may be unsatisfactory or oven
fail to materialise because of tightonlng
purse-strings, but a weil-ftUted, up-to-date
coat and skirt makes a wraan feoi
that she is properly dreoeed for any and
all occasions.
4ust at present details of this all im
portant costume are what most concern
the feminine world. What is to be the
length of the coat? Are the skirts to
remain at a comfortable walking length,
and is the short sleeve to be retired for
Fall wear? First fashion breezes from
Paris have settled many of these ques
tions. The coat for the tailored suit will Uko
onepf two extremes. It will be cither
very ohort or very long on redingote
lines. Boleros with fancy vests will be
worn much in the early Fall days, but
the woman who is choosing: hor suit to
last All "Winter should select a snug
flttlng Jacket, finished with either pos
tilion back or rippling peplum, or with
a skirt attached which roaches to the
ankles. Postilion tails are docidedly in
evidence on the latest modols. Fitted
girdles seen on last season's coats ex
tend bolow the short jacket and give the
long-walsted effect so much sought
after.
Stunning as is the redingote on a state
ly figure, the majority of women should
think twice before selecting one. They
will be especially trying this Fall because
of the extra fullness in the skirt. TwoH
models stand out noticeably as being
fashioned on the approved lines. Ono is
a Princess effect with bolero outlined in
braid, and the other bears tho 'stamp of
the Summer's silk redingote. From the

TPHE average housewife ''has little use
1 for the late garden vegetables, chiefly
because she does not know how to offer
them In tempting guise. They shrivel up
in tho September sun or are packed away
by the market gardener to be sold in mid
winter, when, with some care in their
preparation, they could be made quite as
toothsome as the other Summer vege
tables, while they aro iu season.
Most uninviting among Fall legumes are
turnips. They arc watery when cooked
alone and have very little taste. Several
potatoes boiled and mashed together with
them, however, change their flavor and
render them a most palatable dish.
Cooked after a Gorman recipe they are
even more delicious. Cut .tho turnips' Into
dice and wash them carefully after they
have been neeled. Heat two tables nonn-
fuls of oil in a frying-pan, put in the"!
turnips and shako over the fire until they
are a golden brown. Dump them into
another saucepan, cover with soup stock
mutton stock preferred and boll for half
an hour, "When tender, allow the turnip
dice to drain on a colander while pre
paring the following sauce: To a pint
of the stock In which they were boiled,
add a paste made from two tablcspoon
fuls of butter and two tablespoonfuls of
flour. As soon as the stock comes to a
boll, add a teaspoonful of salt and a
dash of pepper.
Swedish turnips or rutabagas arc most
tasty when beaten and mashed together
with sweet potatoes. Pare and slice two
turnips and cook in uncalled water until
perfect'y tender, not allowing the water
to reach the bohlng point. -Now remove
the centers fronv four baked sweet pota
toes, add them to the turnips and season

The style of the sleeve is no less pro

Leg-o'-mutton effects, pliited and tucked

fullness, are unquestionably the sleeves
for tlie tailored coat. Forevery-day wear
Jackets show a tlght-fittlig cuff from el
bow to wrist, 4built as snugly as the

arc worn with the more dressy style of
coat, although the plain jacket has a

In the matter of skirls, the very much
plaited Jupe has by nq means gone out
of favor. Short skirts particularly dis

An imported suit of cheviot in light
mahogany embraces many of the dis
tinctive features of the-smart coat and
skirt. The double skirt has a tight-fitting
tunic overskirt which falls sir Inches
above tho.hem of the under flounce. This
tunic opens down the front In four grad
uated folds of the material on either side,
which come to sharp corners at the foot
of the tunic and encircle its lower edge.
Similar folds are set in nt the bust lino
of a short, tight-fitting basque and also

ON returning to town after a Summer
outing everything about a home
seems cramped and crowded. The walls
of the little apartment or city house
seem to have contracted and the furni
ture grown more bulky after -the free
dom of outdoor life, or perhaps tho room
iness of a big farmhouse in the country
Dresses are ripped, coats torn and tem
pers badly disarranged because the fam
ily has got out of the habit of living
by checkerboard rules moving one king
to make way foe another.
A wonderful boon to persons who must
conform to these smaller quarters are
the numberloss new devices in condensed
furniture which have made their appear
ance this Fall. Thero Is an especial
wealth of variety In foldlngbeds. One
late model shows a box couch with high
back, luxuriously upholstered in leather
or tapestry. When ready for uso at night,
the back, of the couch slides to the op
posite side, bringing up a double bed with
comfortable mattress and sheets and
blankets neatly spread and tucked In.
Putting the pillows into place and rais
ing head and foot railings converts the
couch into an Iron bedstead.
Another foldlngbed has the head and'
foot of Iron bars which close up like a
streetcar gate. The mattress and springs
tie up flatly against the wall and are
covered by a pretty denim or sllkollne
curtain. Still a third bed has a sideboard
and writing desk combined with it. Dur
ing the day a large glass cabinet sur
mounts what looks to be a broad chest,
of which a panel drops down, showing
pigeonholes, etc At night the chest pulls
straight out, without any lifting or haul
ing, and spreads forth a comfortable bed
on strong springs. The new condensed
Iron cots are also a splendid way of
gaining space in the daytime when beds
are not 'in use.

rolling revcrs of braided white broadcloth
closes the basque while stitched straps
of the material with cloth-covered but

For a middle-aged woman a becoming
jacket with rippling peplum Is built of
gunmeteal broadcloth. Bishop sleeves
terminate at the elbow in tight-fitting
cuffs. Both tho front of the jacket and
the skirt show inverted box plaits. A
shaped belt of the broadcloth accentuates
the waist line and is trimmed with motifs
and buttons built from soutache braid,
which also ornaments a short shoulder
cape ami Beam at the back -of the jacket.
Silk military braid In double rows finishes
the bottom of the skirt and the fichu
ends of the Jacket-cape at the front.
A striking- example of a long-skirted
coat is in silver gray broadcloth. Very
fine shlrrings of this supplo fabric give a
Princess effect to the redingote, the full
ness being released at the hips to fall in
graceful ripples over the long skirt of the
suit. Let in at the shoulder seams are
gatherings of broadcloth edged on either
side by silk Hercules braid In silver gray.
They form the only decoration for the
front of the coat and terminate at the
waist line in cocardes of gray silk with
an antique silver button at the heart ot
each. Silk braid and rosette buttons finish
the coat sleeves.

Some Prolific Writers of Sacred Songs
WONDER Is always expressed and
doubts arise when the statement Is
made that the Rev. Charles Wesley? a
clergyman .of the Church of England,
actually wrote 7000 hymns during his life
time. This statement is verified by the
publication over his own signature of 39
books of poetry, sacred ana secular. It
Is doubtful if there, exists a hymn book
adopted by any religious denomination
which does not contain several of his
sacred songs.
Thomas Moore wrote very few sacred
songs, but of these few one stands out
pre-eminent and will bo sung till time be
no more by the people of this whole
earth- The song that always reaches the
heart Is "Come, Ye Disconsolate," found
In almost every hymn book and never ac
credited to the author.
The Rev. Charles Wesley must have

of the Jupe are laid oblong motifs made
from strips of the material joined In
points at the middle. A band of this
same trimming outlines the collarless
neck and extends down to the left bust.

coat sfop'itg off to ihcunder-arm scam,

girdle. A t.ght-fltting fieplum passes
around tl back and curves up gently to
meet the edges of the coat.
The velvet suit promises to be as much
of a favorite this year as last, and its
new suppleness renders It extremely de-.
sirable for Autumn wear. A model which
is suited to stout and thin alike has .a
coat of slightly blouslng bolero effect, en
tering a deep pointed girdle of satin.
At the- center of the back tho seam. qC
the bolero lengthens over the girdle Into
a plaited postilion that reaches nearly
half, way down the skirt. Light-colored
broadcloth embroidered in French knots
and soutache braid forms the vest and
also the wristband for a turnback velvet
cuff. Cordlngs of satin encircle the neck
and make a heading for tne hem of the
skirt.
No less jaunty is a su?t of cinnamon
brown velour. The skirt Is built with cir
cular yoke-whlch falls in a straight seam
to the bottom of the skirt In front. At
tached to this yoke and shaped over the
hips by double plaits, the Jupe hangs
very full about the feet, barely clearing
the ground. The short jacket opens with

either side. A satin girdle shapes it to

The fact is that Wesley commenced

The Methodist hymn book in this coun

In England, being so replete with the
hymns of Charles Wesley Is accounted for
by the fact that both Charles' and his
brother John were clergymen of the'
Church of England, but John, taking ex
ception to some part of the ritual of that
church, went but to preach to the multi
