THE SUNDAY' OitlJOOSlAS, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 10, 1907. KKE5ronPEHC TAGIL' f FASniI15 EAOTY Some Hints for Winter Furs Etiquette of Winter Visiting THK eternal and unsatiable cry for brown has ralatd the price of brown furs. All skins that can bo dyd to hdes of brown have al most doubled In price, and fur deal pr are at their wits' end to supply the - pver-lncreaslnfc demand for browns, browns and still more browns. Caracul, which was so much worn last Winter In inuff and neck sets. Is seen this year dyed in a soft coppery brown, and entire coats are made of this skin within a nominal cOBt. Sealskin is al most beyond the hope of any one ex cept the fabulously rich, for the duty on It Is about 80 per cent, making- the cost double what It was a few years ago. Those of you who have old seal should harbor every Inch of It. The ekln Is one that can be pieced without showing, and tiny scraps can be put to use. An old coat that is beyond re pairing can be taken to the dyers and a muff and collar made of the best parts. ' The tiny scraps that are not strong enough to put into these arti cles can be sewed together and ued for the crown of a brown velvet hat. This makes a charming set that would be the eiwy of many women. Sealskin, combined with lace, dark brown chif fon and velvet ribbon, is also charm ing and most effective. It seems to be the one fur that the home sewer can manage successfully, short fur in sealskin Is always the most expensive. Many coats sold for sealskin with rather long fur nre in reality only dyed otter. Many fur garments this season are trimmed to relieve the stiff look that some skins give to the figure. Cara cul and pony skin coats, are ofton trimmed with Persian braid, which Is very effective, as it gives Ufa to a dull colored skin. Gilt braid of a fine quality is sometimes braided on the cuffs and about the collar, thus giving lifo and freshness to a coat that nilRht be worn In those places. Tiils ar used u great deal for trimming and they can be purchased for a small sum ftt any shop that carries furs. On all neck pieces talis are seen In reat numbers, on the muffs, and, indeed, as trimming on many of the coats?. These talis that you buy are, of course, made up from bits of fur. but form very effec tive trimming and are not . expensive. Pur is not used as it was for trimming of dresses. Occasionally you see an even ing dress edged with some soft brown fur, but this represents much money, and unless it happens to he some fur that you have on hand it is an investment that I do not recommend. All fur hats will be worn this Heason and give to a sK't of furs a rich finish that no other hat possibly could: then, too, they are generally be coming, as fur next to the face gives a warm glow to the skin. The much advertised Alanka sable fur Simple Treatment for the Nose IK young mothers who see deformed noses on grown children would re alize the amount of good they could accomplish with a new baby thus af flicted there would be fewer girls thus burdened through life., The nose is so plastic that in extreme youth it can be moulded Into perfect shape, and, frankly, the young mother and nurse can do this as well as any profes sional. Even in early adult life It Is possible for a person to help shape their nose by proper handling of the handkerchief and frequent massage. Of course, deformities that are caused by blows or falls should be treated at once by a competent surgeon. Children should be taught to breathe through the nose and not through the mouth. This Is an important feature of early training and one very often neglected. All manipulation of- the nose should be very gentle, as the skin Is extremely tender. In order to ob tain good results with massaging the nose into shape, you should first wash It well with very hot, not warm, water and pure, unscented soap. This opens the pores, and makes the muscles more susceptible to the treatment. Dry the nose and apply a Kood supply of cold cream. Use the forefingers of each hand on either side of the nose and work with a rotary motion down. This tends to reduce the breadth of- the nose. In extreme cases it is sometimes well to wear a patented device known as the "nose clip," which can be pro cured at almost any first-rate drug gist's, but care should he taken that the device does not fit too snugly, as that Is apt to Impede circulation, a thing always to be avoided. Large and distended nostrils are not always natural, and oftentimes can be successfully cured at home by pressing the nostrils in with the two forefin gers, beginning at the base and work ing to the tip, always using the rotary motion. A very common trouble, and one very difficult to remove, Is a red nose. Many of my correspondents seem to be thus burdened. The causes of this particular disorder are many. It JfoM ft 3 7 C -tjr zm$0m Is nothing but skunk dyed and treated with chemicals. This is very practical fur for hard wear, but it always has an odor when wet. However, It Is a good fur for children and for all rough wear. Gray caracul is also a pretty fur .for children. A red cloth coat trimmed with a gray caracul is a decidedly charming coat for a child, and with muff and Hat to match it makes a rich Winter outfit. Women in mourning will find that soft black lynx Is better than any stiff fur. This skin Is not cheap and is rather per ishable, but with care it will last for two or three seasons. I do not mean that It is essentially a mourning fur, for It is worn much by even v-ry young girls, but It Is a soft and becoming fur, and many of the short-haired furs In black are stiff and trying. Choose your furs as you do your clothes, first, according to your purse, and then as to their becomlngness to your coloring and complexion. Few women can suc cessfully wear chinchilla. A blonde with much color can wear it, or ft brunette with rosy cheeks, but it is the exception and not the rule when It looks well on the average woman. The fur Is very ex pensive to begin with and Is very perish able, turning yellow with a season's wear. Sable sets are. of course, toe hope and ambition of many women; certainly It is the handsomest fur that Is worn, but almost beyond the purse of the average woman. Really, mink Is the most satis factory fur for sets of muff and neck pieces. If care is given In selecting soft, very dark skins of mink Its effect 1b al most equal to sable. Mink wears beauti fully and is a most becoming fur to both blondes and brunettes. Mink that has been worn for years and has lost all its color will dye beautifully and can be re made time and time again. One woman In my acquaintance went through a trunk last Winter and found an old cloth dol man that belonged to her mother. It was lined with mink that was faded to a dead ly yellow. This she ripped out and took it to a fur shop, where they dyed It. It came out beautifully. They made, her a huge pillow muff, trimmed with such tails as I mentioned above; a neck pieoe also trimmed with tails something like the illustration of today, and gave her a large square piece which she took- to her milliner and had made up Into a little toque, tTimmed with brown ostrich feath ers. The money she expended was a small sum compared to what she would have paid for new furs, and her set was admired by all who saw it. Persian lamb will always be worn, but It is a fur more essentially for older peo ple or women in mourning. Pony skin Is still in favor, but it does .not make a dressy coat. If, however, you live In a cold climate and feel the need of a fur coat without having the prioe of finer furs, pony skin will make you . & warm and serviceable Jacket for little monejr. comes from exposure to cold, excesses in eating and drinking, indigestion and constipation. Many times it is heredi tary, and when such Is the direct cause It Is almost Impossible to con quer H. Poor circulation is another means of causing the red nose. Need less to say that you should look well into the "why and wherefores" before attempting any external cures, for none cases out of ten the trouble is an Internal one. The skin of- noses which become red Is apt to be very delicate, and may be toughened by the use of water and cologne, mixed in equal parts. This application also helps to reduce any oily or greasy condition that may ex ist. Remember that massage will stimulate the vessels and help them to do their duty, and always work down ward toward the tip of the nose. A famous lotion that can be applied to the noso at night which is said to re duce redness and enlargement Is made as follows: One drachm of muriate of ammonia, one-half drachm of tannic acid, two ounces of glycerine and three ounces of rosewater. The muriate of am monia and tannic acid should be dis solved In the glycerine, the rosewater added last. If you are troubled with dilated veins In the nose a very good lotion, that can be used frequently during the day, is found below. This lotion can be used at the same time that the '. nightly compresses are bound on, using It during the day. It has been used with great success by many: Bau de gulmauve (Mallow's), 200 grammes; benzoate of soda, 5 grammes; glyce rine, 20 grammes; alcohol, 10 grammes. This Is the prescription that is recom mended by a famous Russian beauty for dilated veins. Remember that these outward appli cations will be of little benefit to you until you have looked well at the in ternal causes. Sometimes trouble with your big toe will cause the veins of the nose to dilate; so will cold feet, and It is often .caused by acidity of the stomach. Drinking hot water in lib- ! eral quantities will relieve the trouble at times. If you have a throbbing sen sation in the nose this can be greatly relieved by taking a teaspoonful of sulphate of soda In a cup of boiling water, drunk a half hour or more be fore breakfast. Take this every morn ing for a couple of weeks. It is a per fectly harmless dose and often regu lates your digestion. And again let me remind you always bathe the red or dilated nose in very hot water. The Stork and the Bear. Philadelphia Press. Eald the tall, slim Stork to the little "Teddy Bear." As they met In the nurseree, "You never have to work you never have to care, (If you had to slave like me), And visit the woods and lakes and swamp. And go hlkin' round nights, in the cold and damp. In Summer and Winter, you'd see 'Another guessed thing than being cud dled up In an automobile, with a blue-eyed pup A-saillng round the countree." Said the little "Teddy Bear" to the tall, slim Stork: "You needn't get a Kitty-cat fit 'Cause the girls all hug and the children lug Me around, and I've "made a hit And vide in an auto, and the railroad train From ihe Golden Gate to the Btate of Maine I'd never be a slim Stork (nit). And go wadln round in the ebbing tide A bothering 'bout race suicide I don't have to, 'cause I'm 'It " "Well, perhaps you are," said the tall, slim Stork. And his beak went 'Click, click, click " "I can fly as fast as a railroad train, ' And I never have 'no kick' A-comin', I never have to beg. I kin stand all day on Just one leg And do It clean aadslick As most folks can on four, no douht. So don't git gay you better look -out For Teddy's Great Big Stick." Kl'H COMBINED VEILS FOR BAD WEATHER D4ME FASHION has said we must have no hips this season. Another mandate that she has sent fortli is that all well-dressed women must wear a veil with all street costumes. The latter order seems to have been grace fully accepted by the cringing public, for rarely is a woman seen on the street this season without a veil of some sort or description. We who live In big cities have a large assortment to choose from; those of us who are favored with gold and sheckels can satisfy our every want and have a veil for each and every costume; but the woman who lives out of town, with a small purse, must manage with fewer veils and less conspicuous styles. These popular face coverings are made mostly of two materials chiffon and net. As both of these materials are to be purchased by the yard in any department store, the making- of veils at home is easily accomplished and at a great saving of money. Brown Is by far the most becoming and most popular color for all-round service. Brown net veils, made up, cost from $2 to 15 each at the stores. The clever, girl can save at least one-half of this amount by buying brown "ring-dot" net at the lace counter and making the veil at home. The long sweeping veils worn so much last Summer are past and gone. Today the longest veil In demand is a yard and a half. The ends no longer flow in the winds, making an ungainly sweep of chiffon flying after' us. They are snugly tucked up under the back rim of the hat and pinned tightly on the back of the hair by means of a fine hairpin or fancy veil pin, but remember, no long streamers at the back. Whatever the color of your new Winter hat, match it in chiffon or chif fon cloth of thin quality. If the hat Is very large you will need a yard and a half. To be made In' fashionable style this goods should be edged all around with some contrasting fabric, but of the same color. By that I mean edge the chiffon with three rows of tiny brown velvet ribbon or brown silk lace or insertion with irregular edge. Or if you wish it perfectly plain, then hemstitch it all around or feather stitch it with brown floss. You cannot buy brown edgings or insertion, but you can dye white lace to any desired shade by the investment of 10 cents in any 'reliable dye. These chiffons and nets come in every conceivable shade, and any hat or plume can be matched almost exactly. Nets that are double width should be cut in half for ordinary sized hats. Put the other half away until the part you are wearing is soiled and mussed, then take out the fresh one, and. you will have pretty veils all Winter. Veils are not worn in the evening except for the purpose of keeping your - W -'hi flsw yffif'1'' zJ WITH LACK, CHIFFON AXD VELVET RIBBOX. hair in order going to and coming from a certain objective point. If you wear a veil In going- to the theater, reception or other place of amusement you must take it off entirely when you arrive, and it Is always better not to wear them at all after dark unless absolute ly necessary as a protection against wind and bad weather. The woman in mourning who is not wearing crepe will flmKthat a perfect ly plain hemstitched chiffon veil Is her best choice. A veil for this purpose must have no dots and fancy, nets are not permissible. MARY DKAN. A Parable hi Trousers. . Young's Magazine, ymond Hitchcock, of "The Yankee Tourist," has a colored factotum, vho for some time bad fastened envious eyes on a particular pair of check trousers belonsing to the comedian. "Sam," said Mr. Hitchcock, the other day, "I want you to take these trousers and clean this spot off." "Vassali, I get It right off." The old nigger came back In a few minutes and said: "Boss, dat sure is a troublesome spot, I can't get it oft nohow." "See here, Sam, did you try soap and water?" "Yessah, but 'taln't no 'count." "Did you try petrol?" "Yessah, 'deed I did." "Did you try ammonia?" "No, sir; 1 ain't tried 'em on me ylt, but I know dey fits." City Entertaining. I have often heard country folk, resi dents of small towns and cities, con demn city relatives for being inhos pitable; but, on the other hand. I have known city folk to actually deny themselves to keep open house for country relatives and friends who could buy them out a dozen times over. Living In the city doesn't always mean that the well of spending money never runs dry. When you are being enter tained In town Just watch the dimes spent for carfares, for soda here and tea and muffins there, for admission to museums and galleries and theaters and you will understand why you owe a particularly heavy debt to Cou sin Janet. Freda. Sommerville (Mass.) Journal. lAfe doesn't seem the same to ua Since Freda went away. We talk about It every ni&ht. And also every day. The kitchen seems a cheerless place; "We hate to turn the knoh And look into that lonesome waste. Since Freda yoomped her yob. We miss Freda dreadfully. In fact for her w ;lne. Her EnKlish was distressing, but Her breakfast rolls were fine. And now we sit and think ot her, . And in our throats a sob Of sorrow rises-at the thought That Freda yoomped her yob. She won't come back. She's married now. She thinks she's better off. l Perhaps she is at HQ;- rate It does no good to scoff. But every time we think of her Our sad hearts give a throb. It makes a difference in our house tiince Freda yoomied her yob. SOMETHING NEW SOMETHING NEW! Something new" is the eternal cry of the housekeeper. " Truly, every woman who keeps house must tire of preparing or even ordering, the same old things. Some very famous old Creole recipes that have come direct from old families may answer this cry. Surely the Southerners live well If nothing else, and these recipes are de licious from the old test, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating." Canned fish of all kinds, if the best brands are purchased, help to change the menu during the cold winter days, and the recipe for Shrimp Fricassee that follows will make a very appetizing dish when old recipes have grown stale: Shrimp Fricassee Put a teaspoonful of lard in a saucepan; when it is hot stir in one spoonful of flour; stir over the Are until the flour Is a rich brown; then add one onion chopped fine, and when that has fried a little (but before it browns) add two tablespoonfuls of tomatoes. Let it stew a little with the saucepan covered on a slow Are: then when the tomatoes have melted r down add two cups of hot water, season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne. Let it stand a few minutes before dinner, then put in the shrimps, one or two cans, according to the number of guests. The shrimps will break if put In too early. Rice Is such a substantial and healthy vegetable, and yet when served Just plain boiled the men in the family generally say, "No, thank you." Some time try the following for a change and see what they will say: - 1 Creole Rice Wash one-half cup ot rice and cook in double boiler until tender. Lay two good-sized pieces of bacon Into a hot frying-pan and cook to a crisp, but do not burn. Add to these drippings half an onion sliced tine, and brown, then add half a cup f tomatoes and the rice, sea son with cayenne pepper and salt and stew together until it has all blended. A very popular dish of beef, known in the South as "Griades," is an appetizing dish that is easily prepared as follows: Griades Take two pounds of beef (the bottom round, it possible), slice thin, trim off all the fat and cut in pieces about the size of the Inside of your hand. Put one spoonful of lard in a saucepan. When the lard is hot drop your meat, which must be first properly washed, in the hot lard, add a little salt, black pepper and cay enne; cover the saucepan and let the meat stew, or rather boil, for the "Juice of the meat will boil out; stir occasionally and let all the juice of the meat boil out; when it begins to get dry stir it till it browns. When it is of a nice brown color sprinkle in the saucepan about one teaspoonful of- flour: when that is brown move it off the hot fire so that it will not burn and add three or four good-sized onions sliced, and three or four large, tablespoonfuls of tomatoes. Let it all smother with the cover on the saucepan, stirring once In a while, till the onions and tomatoes are all melted to a rich gravy, then add two teaspoonfuls of boil ing water apd season to taste and let It boll about one hour more. ITH the keen Fall days come recollections of kindly Invita tions to "Come up to town this Winter and visit me, dear." Cousin Janet, who lives In the big city, spent several weeks during dog days with Cousin Myra, who lives in" the pretty country village or on the farm. The old neighbors and friends came to call upon her. a few picnics, a supper party or two, driving, fish ing these formed all the entertain ment necessary. It was hot weather, and she was Just glad to rest In the cool, comforting country life. . But when Cousin Myra goes to town all this will be changed. In the city there will be theaters. Cousin Janet's social season will be at its flood, mu seums, art galleries, club meetings all these will form part of the city en tertainment,- to say nothing of the Joys of shopping. So let her think well before she throws herself Into this vortex of sightseeing, for Cousin Ja net of the city house must arrange for her care and guidance. Do not, dear Cousin Myra. write to your city relatives: "Have decided to run up to town for a few days, maybe a week or 10 days. If John can spare me. Will arrive on the 6:15 train Tues day. Please meet me." Suppose Cousin Janet has been called to another city to a wedding? Sup pose she has a dinner engagement for 7 o'clock .Tuesday and you are to ar rive on the 6:15! Ill feeling will sure ly follow your precipitous action: yet Cousin Janet would not hurt your feel ings tf she could avoid It. Be considerate of your hostess in the city and you will be all the more wel come as a guest. Write to her thus: "Recalling your kind invitation to visit you this Winter, I am writing to ask you how soon it will be convenient for you to have me come. Personally, It would suit me best to leave here about the 20th for a week's stay. Let me hear whether this will suit you." And then If Cousin Janet writes back that she would prefer to have you come on the 26th, instead of the 20th, suit your plans to hers or stay home.' The hostess has some rights, you know. Now, when she has settled the date of your coming, notify lier just when to expect you, the hour of the train's arrival and the depot at which you will arrive. Once within Cousin Janet's city home, try to confirm to her ways of living. If you are accustomed to rising at 6 on the farm, and Cousin Janet's family does not breakfast until 8, do not denounce their luxurious habits and wonder aloud how you can wait that long for breakfast. K-eep in your room some magazines or books and fruit and crackers, so that if you can not train yourself to stay In bed (though, really, the rest does the aver age Cousin Myra much good) you will have something with which to pass the time and stay your appetite until breakfast hour. If your hostess and her daughters dress In neat shirt-waist suits for breakfast, do not come down to break fast in a loose wrapper or kimono. I have known hostesses, especially when other guests were present, to be heart ily ashamed of relatives who did not take pains to dress for berakfast. If you have other friends in the city whom you desire to see, drop them a line stating where you are visiting and they will call. They will ask for you and your hostess, even if they do not. know Cousin Janet, and they will ask Cousin Janet to come with you when you return their call. But, I beg of you, do not write and ask some old time friend who is not on friendly terms with Cousin Janet to come there and call upon you. If you know there Is ill feeling between your hostess and the old school friend you wish to see, write tQ the latter and inform her that you are in town and would like to call on her If she Is in the city also. She will take the hint, set a day for you to call, perhaps Invite you to lunch' or dine with her, and If you wish to re turn her hospitality you can entertain her at luncheon downtown or at a matinee or concert. You must not feel theat Just because you are a guest In Cousin Janet's home you must be tied to her apron strings. She will he delighted to find that you are willing to go about by yourself oc casionally, and you will do well to study the lay of streets, so that you can make shopping and sightseeing trips alone. I know of a wornan who spent nearly three months with city friends and never left the house with out the escort of some member of the household. When she finally went home the entire family was exhausted. If Cousin Janet receives an Invita tion for an elaborate function and you are included in the Invitation as her out-of-town guest do not feel that you must go or Cousin Janet must remain SIMPLE A.ND ELABORATE IjSs i i. --.4 1 lira m- IliiilM Mm) ' II' i-M at home. If you have not the necessary evening gown and you feel that the affair would be a bore rather than a pleasure; Immediately suggest some plan for your amusement that evening, and let Cousin Janet accept the invita tion, which is probably one that she has coveted. Do nut say with an air of martyrdom, "Of course, you must go. Janet. I wouldn't stand in your way: but it is no place for poor rela tions. 1 can stay at home and read." Much better to suggest a little even ing at a theater with some younger member of the family who is not in cluded in the invitation for the great event. You will be happier and so will Cousin Janet. Right down In your heart you do not want to make her lose the pleasure. X u ns to Cive the Funds, Chicago News. Picturesque Nauvoo, formerly the Mor mon stronghold In this state, is soon to have an electric railway. The capital U 'furnished by the sisters of St. Mary's Academy of that place and It is planned to build an Interurban line from Carth age through Nauvoo to Fort Madison, la. For years Nauvoo has been hedged about with railroads which were so near thai the whistles could be plainly heard, but hitherto the town itself has been without communication by rail. The Santa Fe, several branches of the Chicago. Burling ton & Quincy, the Wabash, the T. P. & W.. and the Rock Island all are within a few miles of Nauvoo, and its citizen have been forced to drive to a railway or cross the Mississippi, which is a dangerous trip in Winter. During the heyday of the Latter Day Saints)' occupation Nauvoo had a popu lation of between 15.000 and 20.000. To day only a few hundred people live there although it is still laid out with the blocks of the once large city intact. The. Mor mons had to leave hurriedly and posses sion was then taken by a colony of French. There are now also a number of German families. They are a thrifty lot and are devoted to the Roman Catholic Church. The visitor today, as he enters the town, cannot help but think that he is In some old French town, lor as one stands at the .top of the hill and looks' down toward the river a mile away, standing there in Autumn, during the seusou when the grapes are being picked, he hears the Angelus ring. As the bell sounds the workers pause In their toll and with bowed heads they listen and pray. The spot can still he found where the Mor mons erected their temple in the center of the big bend; it was a mile north, a mile west and a mile south of the river. The temple Itself was a beautiful and Imposing structure of white limestone, but was destroyed when the saints evac uated. It is claimed, however, that it is the Intention of the Mormon yhurch to return and rebuild Nauvoo, making it as large as Salt Lake City is today. When a irl Is Around. New York Times.
