WINTER TOGS FOR SPORTS ARE

While Pleasure Seekers at Palm Beach Dress for Sunny Weather, Those at Tuxedo Design Evening Gowns With
Pur and Warm Coats Capable of Shielding Wearer Prom the Cold Blasts.
NKW YORK, Jan. 2. (Special.)
Woe be to the expressman who
mixes up trunks intended re
spectively for Palm Beach and Tuxedo!
Not by any possibility will the ward

while the woman departing for the
Southland takes with her diaphanous
lingerie costumes, parasols and crisp

Out-of-door sport Is king at Tuxelo
at holiday season and throughout Jan

fun than at Talm Beach and the folk
who run away to Tuxedo from town
gaieties go for rest and recuperation
although there are many smart dinner-
tUnces and other festivities to while

Asalnst the snowy landscape the
Winter girl's white tailleur is exceed
ingly fetching and these beautiful
white suits, quite possible in the coun
try, although they would be a bit too
conspicuous for town, are a feature at
Tuxedo this year. A model Just com

short, ripple skirt and hip-length coat,
bnih buttoned down the left side with
white covered buttons placed so close
that they touch.

If one plans to take tea at the club
bouse, or at a friend's home, after skat
ing all the afternoon, a rather formal
skating costume is worn, but it is quite
permissible to go on the ice claj in
sweater and knitted worsted cap, and
many such costumes are popular. The
modern sweater is an exalted affair of
soft knitted silk or colored angora and
Us fine shape and good lines add to its
distinction. There is nothing like a

though warm, is apt to be clumsy dur

skating costumes are short even
shorter than the now much abbre

never swings quite clear of a but

GIRL ARTISTS TASK BIG
Miss Kiddle to Work Year on Prize
Contract in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 24. Miss Alice
I. Riddle announced recently that it
would probably take a year for her to
complete the mural decorations for the
West Philadelphia High School, Forty
seventh and Walnut streets, the de
signs of which won the 81030 for her
which was offered under the auspices
of the Fellowship of the Academy of
the Fine Arts.
She will begin actual work in Jan
uary. and whole coats of this rather con
spicuous pelt are trimmed with lynx
or monkey fur in smart contrasting
effect. Civet and leopard coats are
scarcely less conspicuous .and are fa
vored for tonneau wear, but limousine
coats are usually of plush or other
rich fabric lavishly trimmed with fur.
One such coat which will be warm
over Tuxedo evening frocks as well as
gorgeously effective as an evening
wrap is of peacock blue plush with
cuffs of opossum fur that reach from
fingertips to elbow so' that the hands
may be thrust up Into the fur currs
as into a deepi muff. A band of opoS'

throat (for at Tuxedo the evening
Wrap falling off the shoulders does
not appeal to fancy) and the blue plusn

other beautiful wrap for limousine

Is a gold cord girdle, which draws the
folds of the wrap in to the figure. A
wide otter collar snap-fastens around
the throat. A ten-inch band of the
fur edges the garment, and cuffs of
otter extend to the elbows.
. Frocks Designed for Dinner Dances.
No matter how crisp the out-of-door
air, houses at Tuxedo are as well
heated as houses in town, for society
does not propose to shiver and shake
indoors for the sake of enjoying its
quota of coasting and skating, so Tux
edo evening gowns are as diaphanous
as other evening gowns of the season
and as short and beruitled also. Al
though white cloth tailleurs and tail
leurs of white mohair and worsted
mixture are seen out-of-coors in th
daytime, few all-white evening gowns
are worn this Winter, and those few
are seen on debutantes. Black tulle,
sparkling with brilliants or jet se
quins, is much in favor, and pale yel
low, pale pink and pale orchid-mauve
are favored shades.
A dainty dance frock just sent up
to Tuxedo for a country club dance is
of corn-colored goldenrod satin veiled
with a lace tunic. A bodice of corn-
colored tulle is draped under a bib of
the lace at back and front and the
girdle is of corn-colored chiffon os
tensibly fastened down the back with
mauve roses, although snap-fasteners
are placed underneath to insure the
smooth fit over the hips. Mauve roses
run down the shoulder and sleeve of
tulle to the elbow. With this dainty
dance frock go slippers of gold cloth
and stockings of natural silk in pale,
creamy tone.

other popular military models.
Fur trimming gives a pleasing soft-

is now built with a high, close-fitting
collar and long sleeves. Unless the
blouse is of exceptionally dainty ma
terial, ,like Georgette, crepe, daphne
silk, chiffon or lace over net, this
loose high neck is likely to be severe
and rather trying to the ordinary wom
an, but one blousemaker has softened
the severity by putting a narrow band
of beaver fur around the top of the
tali collar. The band turns and runs
down alongside the front .of the blouse.
The beaver fur i3 soft with the sand
colored pussy-willow silk, of which the
blouse is built, and hemstitching adds
its modicum of daintiness to the pretty
model.
One of the made-in-America fashions
is the cowboy costume, which embodies
American traditions, yet is so distinctly
modish and up to date that young
women are adopting it witn en
thusiasm. One of these cowboy cos
tumes, just expressed to Palm Beach,
has a short flare skirt of pussy-wil
low silk in narrow red and white pep
permint" stripes. There are two
groups of three rows of red velvet rib
bon around the skirt, the velvet being
the same width as the stripes. Little
bowknots are placed on the skirt at
intervals between the, groups of rib
bon trimming. A jacket of red pussy
willow silk shows a waistcoat of white
lace and sleeves of red and white
striped silk. Below the short skirt
will appear buttoned shoes of patent
leather with light gray tops and red
silk stockings will match the red silk
jacket.
Eggs High Priced and Fit
for Exclusive Entree.

Baked Product Forms Delicious
Dish An Gratia lit Another Suit
able Way to Serve Them.
HIS Is the season when eggs are
high and they may realiy be
classed among the luxuries that go to
make the "high cost of living."- Any
thing high-priced is considered desira
ble by folk looking for exclusive dishes
to set before luncheon and dinner
guests, and the humble egg, eaten
boiled for breakfast in Spring and
Summer, becomes In the late Autumn
and holiday season a costly luxury, fit
for an exclusive entree.
For an entree at your next lunch
eon try baked stuffed eggs with bread
crumbs. They are far more delicious
than the familiar picnic stuffed egg.
Cut the hard-boiled eggs in two,
lengthwise. Remove the yolks and
mash with a wooden spoon,, adding to
each yolk a tablespoonful of fine
breadcrumbs soaked in melted butter,
a little cream and pepper and salt to
taste. Stuff the whites with this mix
ture, heaping it up and rounding off
the top nicely. Sprinkle a buttered
baking dish ,with breadcrumbs, stand
the halves in the baking dish and cover
with some finely grated buttered
crumbs. Bake five minutes and serve
with a hot drawn butter sauce.
Eggs au gratin are familiar to a few
lucky persons. Those who have not
enjoyed this delicious luncheon dish
should lose no time in doing so. -Butter
a flat casserole or earthenware
baking dish and sprinkle with finely
grated breadcrumbs. On the crumbs
break four or six eggs, according to
the - size of the casserole. On top
sprinkle more breadcrumbs, then grated
cheese, salt, pepper, bits of butter and
lastly a little cream. Put into a hot
oven for about six minutes and serve

HE dainty woman does not jum
ble her silk . stockings . helter-
skeltef into a bureau-drawer, but
keeps each pair separate from the
others in a long, narrow box divided
off into compartments. This makes it
easier, also, to select just the right
pair of stockings when one is in a
hurry, for the day of black silk stock
ings. ; with .an occasional resort to
white silk, is past. The modern wom
an must have bronze stockings for
bronze slippers, "natural silk stockings
for wear with fawn-topped buttoned
boots and pastel-tinted hosiery to
match dancing slippers of satin.
It is easy to make a stocking box to
fit bureau or chiffonier drawer. Cut
up a long pasteboard box such as
coats and suits are delivered in to
make the. stocking box. Two pieces,
the length of the drawer and about
four inches wide will make the sides
of the box. The ends should be four
by six inches. The partitions which
divide the long, narrow box into com
partments should be the size of the
ends and should be placed at intervals
of about five or six inches apart, ac
cording to the length of the box.
Cover all the pieces of pasteboard with
cretonne or cover the sides of the box
on the outside with cretonne and on
the inside with pussywillow silk to
match. In this case the partitions also
will be covered with silk.

WOOD FUEL VALUES VARY
WITH KINDS OF SERVICE
Two Ponnds Is Roughly Equivalent to One of Coal, While Varieties Such
as Hickory and Oak Bun Two Cords to Ton.
THE fuel value of two pounds of
wood is roughly equivalent to
that of one pound of coal. This
is given as the result of certain calcu
lations, now being made In the Forest
Service laboratory, which show also
about how many cords of certain kinds
of wood are required to obtain an
amount of heat equal to that in a ton
of coal.
Certain kinds of wood, such as hick
ory, oak, beech, birch, hard maple, ash,
elm. locust, longleaf pine, and cherry
have fairly high heat values, and only
one cord of seasoned wood of these
species is required to equal one ton of
good coal.
It takes a cord and a half of short-
leaf pine, hemlock, red gum, Douglas
fir, sycamore, and soft maple to equal
a ton of coal, and two cords of cedar,
redwood, poplar, catalpa, Norway pine,
cvnress. basswood, spruce and white
pine.
Heavier Wood Gives More Heat
Equal weights of dry, nonresinous
woods, however, are said- to have prac
tically the same heat value regardless
of species, and as a consequence It can
be stated as a general proposition that
the heavier the wood the more heat to
the cord. Weight for weight, however,
there is little difference betwen vari
ous species. The average heat for all
that have been calculated is' 4600 calo
ries, or heat units, to a kilogram. A
kilogram of resin will develop 9400
heat units, or about twice the average
for wood. As a consequence, resinous
woods have a greater heat value to the
pound than nonresinous woods, and
this .increased value varies, of course,
with the resin content.
The available heat value of a cord
of wood depends on many different
factors. It has a relation not only
to the amount of resin it contains but
to the amount of moisture present. Fur
thermore, cords vary as to the amount
of solid wood they contain, even when
they are of the standard dimension
and occupy 128 cubic feet of space. A
certain proportion of this space is made
up of air spaces between the sticks,
and this air space may be considerable

'Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

knotty sticks. Out of the 12S cubic

about 80 cubic feet.
Heat Value Not Only Test.
It Is pointed out, however, that heat
value is not the only test of usefulness
in fuel wood and since 95 per cent of
all wood used for fuel is consumed for
domestic purposes, largely in farm
houses, such factors as rapidity of
burning and ease of lighting are im
portant. Each section of the country
has its favored woods and these are
said to be, in general, the right ones
to use. Hickory, of the nonresinous
woods, has the highest fuel value to
the unit volume of wood, and has other
advantages. It burns evenly, and, as
housewives say, holds the heat.
The oaks come next, followed by
beech, birch and maple. Pine has
relatively low heat value to a unit
volume, but has other advantages. It
Ignites readily and gives out a quick,
hot flame, but one that soon dies down.
This makes it a favorite with rural
housekeepers as a Summer wood, be
cause it is particularly adapted for hot
days In the kitchen.
The fuel qualities of chestnut adapt
it to work in brass foundries, where It
gives just the required amount of heat
and it is therefore in favor. Coastwise
vessels in Florida pay twice as much
for Florida buttonwood as for any
other, because it burns with an even
heat and with a minimum amount of
smoke and ash.
The principal disadvantage of the
resinous pines is their oily, black
smoke.
