The Problem of Dress -How Mode
May Be- Adapted 'Hints About
Making Over,
IT HAS oeen the wall of the rn
erallty of women that they are "out
. of It" this -year in the matter of
dress. The new styles are o, much
of an Innovation, so different in
textures, so extreme In ntyle, so ex
pensively trimmed and so elaborate that
the woman of slender purse has felt not
a little downcast over the situation.
However, In ths development of ex.
treme styles to moderate pooketbooks
(a thing which is sura- to happen if
one waits a, little), many dist nctly
American styles have been developed.
You will find two of them on this
page whioh are merely the modlfie.t
empire style, or rather, a oombinat on
of dlrectoire and empire, and which
are adapted to modest purses.
Take the ahort-waisted ooat sun
with broad lapels .for instance. It tj
wear, for visiting, for church. It does
not require a great quantity of cloth
and the braiding or other ornaments.
tion of the wide Vevere and pockets
which is all . the elabora .tion required,
may be done at home by the clever
needlewoman while the rest of the
gown la being made at the dress-
MThe "distinctive feature about it is
the short waistline and long cling ns
iklrt; and any Intelligent dressmaker
who can get a good pattern can ac
complish this. 1
The other street suit is not more
difficult than the average dressmaker
can fashion and has all the little points
which make for distinction
One of the necessary things for the
economical home dressmaker to learn
Is that of combining materials. tor
instance, a rajah or pongee suit which
has seen Its beet days can be ripped
and washed, then dyed the same color
as a passe cloth suit and the two com
bined Into an attractive house dress. IT
you cannot do the dyeing at home there
are plenty of places in town where
the material will be dyed any color
you like or to ma-ich any sample you
give them. .... .
Soutache braiding which Is pne of
the most dressy and fashionable fin
ishes used this year on the handsome
imported models can be done t homo.
Take the cloth of the slsse you want to
braid to a needlecraft shop or to a
teacher of. embroidery and have t
stamped In flower or spiral form as
vou like. Then select your braid, and
sew it on. The dyed-to-match lanes
are still popular and a yoke and long
cuff of such lace gives an entirely new
look to a gown. ' .
If you have a black net get It out
and utilise It. You know oversklrts
of all sorts and shapes are worn this
year. Long pointed funics edged with
eatln ribbon, with a half waist or Jump
er effect of the black net over a black
foundation silk will be quite In the
mode. . . .
The skirt of a white serge suit which
cannot be used another season can be
lengthened with a band of cloth of con
trasting material, the coat can be cut
over into a semi-Jumper effoct, and,
with yoke and sleeves of cotton net,
either tucked or darned in colored silk
floss, a good-looking house frock at
little cost Is the result.
Select a deep cream net to use with
a serge or, white wool suit, as pure
white makes a bad contrast. These
nets are excellent to refurnish a gown
whose lines are good, but which needs
freshening. A smart touch can be giv
en to yoke and sleeves by embroider
ing the net in a bold design in the new
ribbon brelds.

Fads and Fashions.
By Florence Fairbanks.
NEW YORW, Nov. le.-MThe cold
weather has brought furs to the
foreground and the fashionable
shops are making a fine display of fur
garments of every description. There
are coats and Jackets of every descrip
tion, muffs and hats, made of every
known kind of fur. The very nature
of the material makes great variations
in style and treatment of furs practi
cally Impossible, but the makers of
these garments have displayed remark
able Ingenuity In devising- new forms
and styles richer and more becoming 1
than ever. The coats are mostly built
on the lines of the dlrectoire model,
showing long and slender lines.
The most beautiful f urs are at their
best when treated in a severe style
No applied trimming or blsarre cutting
can improve RusBlan sable, silver fox
or seal and sucti furs'. The long-haired
ones are most effective if merely self-
trimmed. The dlrectoire cape is pos-1
sihly the newest and most luxurious
note In fur garments. The models shown
in the windows of the fashionable
shops show slight differences of line
and finish, but the general character of
these garments Is the umi-i long,
loose, sleeveless cloak, whose shoulder
line runs down almost to the elbow.
Tle cloak is opened all the way up
the sides, but caught together lightly
under the arms to provide some might
semblance of. a sleeve effect. Often
the back ends in ona long- point, fall
ing out over the train and the front
EVERY woman can't wear clothes
made by Worth, but every woman
can take the first step toward getting the kind of
fit that Worth would give her.
Buy a Kabo corset that fits you; there's one
made for your form; it will make dress -fitting
easy and dress -wearing attractive.
If your form needs reducing, here's a Kabo
corset that will reduce it from 3 to 5 inches ; will '

in two shorter polhts. Other models
show a gradual slope from middle front
to middle back.
Among the furs used in those gar
ments Cher is - but one distinct nov
elty, "Hudson seal," which Is really not
seal at all, ibut theWur of the French
rat, which greatly resembles seal, but
Is considerably cheaper. The resem
blance Is so close that only an expert
can tell the difference. Seal has once
more become fashionable, but only rich
women, will be able to invest in any
of the hantisome seal garments shown
in the windows. All the old furs, mink,
sable, chinchilla, caracul, astrakhan, fox,
lamb and others are In evidence and
they are used with greater freedom
Of treatment than in former years.
Long, close sleeves are used in the
fur coats, both long and short, which
have the first consul tendency. Short
fur models are built on th same gen
eral lines that distinguished the longer
models with very often a hint of the
dlrectoire In their design. Braid and
buttons and cord ornaments formed of
braid or covered with silk or satin are
used upon these short coats even more
than upon the long models. The lin
ings are chiefly in rich soft satin and
in the exquisite middle tones Ins tea.
of In white and vivid colors. The gold
?ellows are very successful as lining
or sealskin and these same tones are
also cleverly used In some handsome
coats In brown caracul.
Muffs are larger than ever this sea
son, and usually flat and soft. The
handsomest models are without trim
ming, but as usual there are Home fanci
ful models in combinations of fur, fur
and lace, fur and velvet, fur snd chif
fon and net.
Fur will also be used quite exten
sively for trimming suits this season.
Handsome cloth suits are shown In the
fat-.ionable shops, tastefully trimmed
with bands of fur. The fur Is em
ployed on the skirts and collars, cuffs
and waistcoats are made of It to go
with the coat. Kur is also often .used
for trimming hats to be worn with
such fur-trimmed suits.
One of the novel and striking fea
tures seen at the horse show were clan
plaid waistcoats. These small gar
ments, which promise to become quite
popular, are or cjan plaid silk and mod
eled closely after a man's vest. They
may be worn with any type of simply
tailored cloth or worsted costume that
Is developed in one tone as, of courso,
the brilliant colore of the plaid .would
be certain to clash unpleasantly with
anv light shade of red, blue or green.
While the costliest of fabrics were
seen at the evening sessions of ths
horse show, they were made up Into a
tpye of costume which is a cross be
tween that worn for afternoon recep
tions and large weddings In churches
and the regulation dinner gown, as they
were more elaborate than the one' while
they differed radically from the other,
In that the waist Invariably was made
high and the arms were fully cov
ered. Speaking of waistcoats, It may be
said, that ordinary silk and satin in
waistcoats are commonplace and not
considered good style. Waistcoats of
upholstery material are quite fashion
able, on the other hand. These fash
ionable fabrics are somewhat rough and
often have a thread of bullion running
through them. While brass buttons are
at the height of style for both waist
coats and coats, there Is the beginning
of a movement to avoid them oh some
of the best suit. Waistcoats on extra
handsome broadcloth suits are fastened
without visible buttons. They are
bound with old palloon, which has the
disadvantage of tarnishing, but can be
easily renewed.
Black for general wear is evidently
destined to have as great a vogue this
year as It had last year, and black
cloth gowns designed for wear with
black fur or velvet jackets are among
the smartest of all nw models.
Fashionable big pictuse hats are made
of velvet tp match the gown with which
they are worn, and are trimmed only
with ostrich feathers, all carried out
in the same shade. t
Wedding gowns are changed so that
Instead of the heavy velvet train hang
ing from the shoulders, the veil will
fulfill Its old mission and be veil and
train In one. Thus, when the veil Is
discarded, the gown is one that maj
be worn for dinners and dances.
While the dlrectoire style holds al
most unrivaled sway, the sheath gown
Is absolutely tabooed, and even the
skirt with false slashes, underlaid with
contrasting material, seem to have lost
favor.
Hoods have become highly popular
in Paris ami nil the famous Parisian
milliners are catering to the new fad
and turning out the most charming
models. For evening wear these hoods
are a perfect boon, as theytcombine
beauty and comfort as no other head
covering ever did before..
Though never obtrusively fashion
able, the grays are the choice of manv
really well-dressed women, particular
ly for evening dresses that are to be
worn often.

When ironing, if the worker stands on
a padded rug, the feet do not become so

removed by Bait of wormwood. The part
should be first wetted and the salts
rubbed In, then rinsed before washing.
Black and white fabrics should be
washed in water in which salt has been
dissolved, a teaspoonful to every gallon.
t
Cranberries as Food.
WHILE cranberries are favorably
known throughout most of the
United States as a national dish
in connection with our Thanksgiving
turkey, for a daily food relish their
many superior qualities are overlooked
by the masses.
Properly cooked cranberry sauce
makes all meats palatable and Is deli
clous served with roast beef, pork, mut
ton and all fowls as with turkey. The
chemical analysis of cranberries shows
that they contain mild acid combinations
which are by nature converted Into al
kaline carbonates In the blood and help
to purify it and have a tendency to watd
off bilious and rheumatic tendencies.
They also aid digestion, clear the com
plexion and are perfectly' harmless to
the most delicate stomach. Most con
diments used an meat relishes are high
ly spiced and Irritate the stomach, but
cranDerries are a natural, healthful food,
as well as a delicious relish.
- They should be properly cooked. For
the lack of proper cooking they have
been abused and condemned. Contain
ing certain acids and very little sugar
properties, they should never be cooked
in metal dishes. Only earthenware, por
celain lined or enameled dishes hViomM
be used and after cooking do not let
the food stand in anything but glass or
earthenware dishes. If you are preju
diced by reason of having eaten unpai-
ttiuijiB ur improperly cooKea crannerry
sauce try the following reciDa and ha
convinced: One quart cranberries, one
pouna sugar, one quart water. Boll
sugar and water together for five min
utes, skim, add berries snd cook slowly
without stirring or burning until berries
are thoroughly cooked and tender.
They can be made into preserves and
Jellies with less work and time than any
other material known and their splendid
keepg quality will enable the con
sumer in remote places to buy them in
liberal quantities, as the surplus may
be kept perfectly uncooked by clean
ing and storing in glass or earthen
Jars uhder cold water, air tight, until
needed. The water should be previously
boiled. During cold weather freezing
does not injure them for. sauces. Jellies
or preserves.

HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS
v On Wash Day,
IF our laundress be far-sighted, she will
forecast tfrt morrow's duties so far
as to put the "clothes" (all-embracing
term) In soak overnight, writes
Marion Harland. In one house
hold I wot of, where all needless work
la avoided on the day of rest, the bulk
of this preparatory task is done on
Saturday night, leaving the body linen,
exchanged for clean on Sunday morn-
j Ing, to be added) to the soaking clothes
ton ths evening &f that day.
The tuba should be Derfectlv clean.
Even stationary tubs, with closely fit
ting lids, will gather dust and need to
be wiped with a wet. then with a clean
cloth, before they are half-filled with
soft tepid- water, and made ready for
the soaking. Put table and bed-linen
in separate tubs; keep soiled under
garments apart from both.
You will save yourself much subse
quent worry if you "treat" stains be
fore washing. I offer here a few gen
eral rules:
Fruit, ink, coffee, chocolate and tea
stains may be wet with- Javelle water
or with a weak Infusion of chloride
of lime. Leave the soiled pieces in this
for five minutes, then rinse in pure, tepid
water. Never omit the rinsing. Neglect
of this precaution is almost sure to
weaken the threads of the fabric by the
continued action of the arid.
Rub chalk upon grease spots, and but
ter upon stains made by machine oil, or
axle-grease, washing out the butter a
half hour later with warm. suds.
When all are ready, put Into the tubs
and see that they are well covered, as
I have directed, with tepid never hot
water. , If the water be hard stir a
handful of purs borax into each large
tub. , .
Hoti Tamales.
To prepare the corn, cover It with
water,' add the lime watev and boil until
the husks slip off easily between the
fingers, then wash in cold water until
perfectly whits. The lime water is
made by adding an ounce of common
lime to a quart of water; stir well find
let settle. For the dough, add to one
pint of corn meal on tablespoonful oach
of salt and lard, and enough boiling
water to make a thick dough. For the
filling, boll one pound of beef and pour
over It hot beef fat; cut Into small bits
and season with salt and chile sauce.
Put a layer of the dough In the lnik,
over this a tablespoonful of the iire
pareij meat; roll like a cigarette, with
a layer Of aougn neiwern uie uub.. j

Dark Fruit Cake.
Four eggs, one cup sugar, one cup
molasses, one cup butter and lard
mixed, one cup milk, four cups flour,
one teaspoon soda, one half qup citron,
one cup ralsJns. one cup currants. Be
sure and flour them well. Mix eggs,
sugar, molasses, butter and lard, milk,
flour snd soda first, then add fruit and
bake about 35 or 40 minutes In two
loaves.
Sweet Corn Pickle.
Chop one hesd of cabbage, sprinkle
over It two tablespoonfuls of salt, and
let stand over night. Out the kernels
from 12 ears of corn, chop two peppers
and mix these with ths cabbage. Bring
two quarts of .xlnegar to a boll, add tma
clip of sugar and one fourth pound mus
tard (rubbed smooth in a little cold vin
egar). Always get the light coU'red
first grade of mustard, as dark mustard
spoils the taste and appearance.
V
Just Suggestions.
Carpets should be beaten on the wrong
side first and then, more gently on the
right. Never put a carpet down on u
damp floor, for this often results in the
carpet becoming mildewed.
To prevent the contents of the sauce
pan from boiling over when making
candy or boiling syrup, grease the upper
sides of the utensil with butter.
Holes in plaster wslls may be stopped
THE MOTHERS' CORNER
A Mother Says.
ALWAYS be polite to your children,
and they will be polite to you.
Never speak lightly of old age,
and your children will respect
old people. Never draw un
pleasant comparisons between the rich
and poor, and yqur children will be
Independent neither too humble nor
snobbish. Allow the children to have
belongings of their own and never take
anything from them without asking fur
It. Tn this way they will learn never
to appropriate things that do not be
long to them. Be interested In what
interests your children, and never laugh
at their questions or their funny opin
ions. If you think it necessary to re
fuse any of their requests, try to give
them a plausible reason for your re
fusal. Never read to them or tell
them "bogey stories" of horrible black
men or witches. I would not rob the
little ones of their pleasant fairy tales,
but I believe it is right to explain to
them that they are merely fanciful
stories. As soon as possible, let them
have books and papers of the best
kind. Read to thm, teach them to
read, and do everything you can to fos
ter In them a taste for' good reading.
You will find that they will then have
no appetite for trashy reading

Bleach Injurious.
Regarding . bleached flour, Presldrnt
Ladd of the pure food commission, re
cently said it is an evil not confined to
any one part of the country, and. there,
fore, is of interest to the consumers in
every part of the Union. Continuing, he
said : . ,
"The process oftlour bleaching car
ried on by the use of nitrogen peroxide
is a chemical process and not any part
of the milling process. It Is not, as is
claimed, an 'aging process,' but it Is
practiced for the purposes of deception
and fraud; and the ingredient used to
bring about the change is an active
chemical that causes changes to take
place-In the oil; renders the flour and
bread made therefrom less digestible
and less nutritious; destroys its char-
acteristic Rweot and nutty flavor, so
much sought for, until the bread pro
duced from such flouy at the present
time Is far from what It should he.
Cake Paddles.
Bv Aldls Dunbar. i
Few kitchen implements are of serv
ice In so many various ways as the
common Iron cake paddle, for scramb
ling eggs to delicate smoothness, or for
stirring anything that should thicken
evenly while cooking in a frying pan
it Is far better than a spoon, for it
leaves no space on the bottom of the
pan untouched, to scoroh, but lifts from
It, with each "shove." fWe times as
much as any spoon. A tin paddle, while
vet superior to a spoon for this purposs,
Is less satisfactory than the iron or
stppl one, being dull of edge and impos
sible to sharpen. The latter, even
though "blunt ended" when bought, can
he ground or filed to a good edge with
but a few moments' work, and the
sharper and smoother the edge the more
efficient the service it will give.
Of course for turning large griddle
cokes a wide one Is often convenient,
but for genpral uses the smaller, nar
rower one Is handier. With It you can

or hM. -a of mush without disturbing the

neighbor in the pan. It will roll, over
an omelet, remove browning cookies or
biscuits from the baking sheet before
those around are readv to take out, and
Insure even cooking of browned hash

Teaching Baby to Eat.
. A .mother asks, "Is the presence of

that the baby ought now to be taught
to eat? If so what food ought first
to be given Mm, how often, and in
what quantities? Ought little babies
to drink cold water?"
The authority consulted said: The
presence of teeth Is not an indication
th:rt he ought now to eat. Inferences
from "Indications" have to be drawn
very carefully, or else we shall over
look sonic counter-Indications.
If the child were taught to take arti
ficial food his two teeth (incisors)
would be very little use to him; he

HOT DESERTER
Mrs. Hamilton's Decree Va
cated as Court Holds She
Perjured Herself.
Because Lent Hamilton falsely swore
that her husband had deserted her and
sent her no money while he was in
Alaska, presiding Judge Gantenbeln in
the circuit court yesterday afternoon
vacated the decree granting her a di
vorce from Thomas Hamilton. She
was given the divorce by Judge Thomas
O'Day lust July. 7
John F. Logan, attorney for Hamil
ton, told Judge Gantenbeln that Mrs.
HamHton has already married again,
or is about to do so, despite the fact
that sbe'has no right to marry within
six months from the time a divorce is
grantees He said that she is now in
hiding, and can not be found.
Proof that Mrs. Hamilton did not tell
the truth when she obtained a divorce
was piled up bv Logan, who submitted
to the court a large number of tele
grams, receipts for registered letters
and return registry cards which show
that Mrs. Hamilton was in communica
tion with her husband almost to the
date that she secured her divorce, and
that he was- sending her the greater
part of hie wages, he being at work as
an engineer at St. Michaels. Alaska.
Notwithstanding this, she testified that
he had never sent her any money, and
