New York City. —No style ever raited young glrta better than that of ;he overblouse, and It not only retains its vogue, but Is constantly increasing tn favor.- This one is charmingly girlish and attractive) and can b9 seated in a number of ways. In the Illustration It Is made from a bor dered voile and the border has been nut off and utilized for the trimming, but cashmere Is being much worn this season, and makes lovely blouses and Iresses for young girls; tho simple silks a$ much In vogue, wool taffeta iiid a wliole liost of other materials might be suggested with the trlni iiiing anything In contrast. Band ings are exceedingly beautiful, and ire always easy to apply, braiding with soutache is handsome and sim pler ewrts can be obtained by the use of 'fcttaight rows of braid or other trimming. In this instance the guimpe is separate, and Is nfhdo of all-over laee„ but the blouse can be made all in one If liked, and the long sleeves can be of the same material as the over blouse, or they can be of thin material In matching color, while the yoke is of Again they al low X&tolce of full or three-quarter lengtfT^fW Thß titer btotifci 1b made with front and jflSMons that are tucked . over uni is finished ,wltli tlt« narrow sleeves.

Fasten in Front. It looks as though all the garments of this season will fasten in front In stead of the back. From shirt to ball gowns one sees the tamo method of fastening. This Is espe cially true of one-|>lec« suits, of elab orate blonses and of classic party gowns. Clack Press. This year the most elegant of all dresses are the black ones, made in fine silky broadcloth which has the Richness of silk. A gown of char acter, made In the modified loi& dl rectoire lines, will prove one of the best investments the woman of small mepns can make. Infant's Wrapper. Such a little garment as this one belongs In every layette. It can be slipped on at a moment's notice, and mornings are exceedingly apt to b« cool nnd to require such a comfort able wrapper, while it can be made from almost any soft, warm material. French and Scotch flannels are favor ites, but many of the flannelettes are pretty and satisfactory. In the illus tration the gown Is shown in the front view made of dotted flannel, while in the back view It is made of plain blue flannel, with the edges scalloped with heavy embroidery silk. The wrapper is made with fronts and back which are tucked at the cen tres, and is finished with a flat rolled over collar, while it Is held by ribbon ties. There are comfortable sleeves finished with rolled over cuffs. The quantity of material required Is two and flTe-eighth yards twenty four or twenty-seven, one and three ? quarter yiyds thirty-two or forty-foui . Inches wide. Two-Inch Kachlng.

It 1B offeree Is for Indoor frocks in dull and llgh A Quiet Home. "1 always make It a rule to shut myself away In my own room for one hour cyery afternoon;" writes a "Mother of Ten." "If I didn't, I real ly don't know how I should get on sometimes. I look on that quiet hour in the afternoon as an excellent in vestment, tot I come down after it rested, and consequently less worried, which is good for everybody in the house—husband, children and maids. If by any chance I miss it, I find that every thing goes wrong during the rest of, the day, and I'm dreadfully Irritable and snappish."—Home Chat. Health, the Secret. The secret of beauty may be ex pressed In very U« words —health, ease, grace of movement and a proper mental attitude. The Circle aays of the latter that beauty to permanently possible only when the mind la right. It may be possible for a cross, worry ing and inconsiderate yoang woman to be beautiful, but—rshft will not, cannot possibly, kem her beauty more than a few years. Gradually tj>e fig ure will stiffen, thefacebecome tensed aud wrinkled and the voice ungentle and unpleasing. On the other hand, a number of plain women have bo come beautiful through habitual calmness, hopefulness and lov'ag kindness. Simplified Marriage. We marry (or love, and frequently stay married a long time without It, writes VUhjalmer Stefansson, in Harper's Magazine, while with the Eskimo the "marriage of conven ience," as it is in the beginning, is never long endured unless love de velops. Whenever either husband or wife prefers separation, divorce takes place. There Is a peculiar economic factor whici} accounts for this free dom. An Eskimo wife can leave a husband without n single thought of "How shall 1 support myself and my child?" for a3 lons as there arg food and clothing in the community they will be cared for. Nor does the wom an suffer in social standing. As a matter of fact, however, if a couple are congenial enough to remain mar- w j Nut JVaii-rs.—Kutter the inside of a granite saucepan, % i 1 ,)Ut lntu lt n rn P fut brown sugar, a cupful of at & granulated sugar and two-thirds of a cupful of sweet cream, ff S Cook until the mixtur? forms a soft hall when tested in cohl g | ; water, add a cupful of chopped nut meats or any kind, flavo.- ■jj >- with vanilla and stir until a creamy consistency -and com *—>l * i| inencing to harden.

Homes of Their Own. The home is the kernel of life. There is no clanger that daughter* will despise marriage and a home. They will take to it only too readily when the magic hour strikes, but parents may well deliberate latum they wantonly strengthen a girl's in nate tendency to seek a home of her own. For there is a sweet dignity of maidenhood and womanhood which is sacrificed in n;t inordinate quest for a husband and home. With sons it is different. Many men need to have the home princi ple fostered and built up. They must be made not only good hearted, hut inußt have their nomadic instincts carefully repressed and taught to cen tre around the sacred Idea of home. Then, when once the notion of home and Its paramount importance 1b fixed in his mind, a young man Is perfectly free to go forth and find a maiden to share it.—Woman's Life. She Sees the Reason. Notices and warnings oh placards do not begin to make the impression upon tho public that one individual experience will. Every woman knows that in all postofllcea ire cards beg ging persons to put their names and addresses on all valuable letters, that they may be returned in case they cannot be delivered. One woman, at least, has seen and disregarded them for years, but in the future she will do differently. Last month she had occasion to send away JlO and put one bill of that denomination in an envelope, which ahe neither regis tered nor wrote on the back for re turn. The letter was never delivered, and the woman was obliged to send another bill, this time registered. One day this week her first latter came back to her after six weeks of wandering. - She found that she had used one of her husband's business envelopes, on which was stamped his name and ad dress. and because she had misdirect-' ed it In the first place It had come back to the name printed at the top. Thus she is In $lO, and when the sends money again by mall there is no doubt that the Jetter will nave her own name on the outside, as well as that of the addressee.—New York Telegram. Slavery of Dress. The redoubtable Professor Thomas, of Chicago University, proceeds with his dissection of lovely woman in the American Magazine, his particular topic this time being female apparel. The subject is not a new one. For ages it has afforded abundant oppor» tunlty to philosophers and moralists for heaping abase upon the heads of womenkind. But Professor Thomas has something new to say about it. From his point of view, the moralists were all ou the wrong tack. The ob ject of their abuse is a mere helpless victim, "only a pawn in the Industri al game played by man." "Her individual possessor nses her," says Professor Thomas, "as a symbol of his wealth, and the cap tains of industry make her the oc casion of a market for the costly and changeable objects which fashionable habits force her to accept New fash ions are not always beautiful; they are even often ugly, and women know it, but they embrace changes as fre quent and as radical as the ingenu ity ot the mill I oMtltsc* «•» deviM. Women do not wear what they wynt, but what the manufacturer* and trades people want Own to want- The people who supply, them also control them." The reason for the extreme differ entiation In the dress of the sexes is not due to thp,.j}fttiire of either, ac cording to Professor Thomas. Man is naturally Inclined to personal dis-. play, he says, but he has come to have more effective means of getting results, and so he has given up or nament. Money Is now his "main charm." Woman, on the contrary, has to depend on her charm for ev erything. She is "not naturally spec tacular," but "when man had ac quired a specialised skill which gave him a mastery of the world and her person as well" she "began to special ize the display which he was aban doning. Restricted in movement, with no specialized skill, with not even life to educate her in ♦.lre broad sense in which men encounter It, and limited In her interests by the pro prietary tastes of man, her ocsupa jion 13 to charm." And In this oc cupation she has becoma so absorbjd as even to forget its original purpo3?. She "almost loses sight of man—af ter marriage, at least —In her inter est in outstripping other women. Men would prefer her more simply dressed but this Is her game—indeed, it is almost her business." And here is retribution, for "man pays the bllli." Underlying the charm of woman J dress Professor Thoma3 iinds twor main principles, namely, its emphasis of her set and the helplessness to which it reduces her. For instinc tive reasons which we do not eontrrtl and do not completely understand,' "signs of sex." he says, "have a very powerful emotional effect." Hence the emphasis of woman's "most strik ing anatomical peculiarity, waist which measures small in comparison with the bust and hips," "The help lessness invo'ved jn lacing, high heels, undivided skirts and other impedi menta of women has a charm in the eyes of nan because it appeals to his protective and masterful instincts, "It is his opportunity since the dis appearance of large game and In i v > piping times of peace." Roses for hats are immense in size. New coats are very elaborately braided. Modish grays range from deepest smoke to palest pearl. The Psyche knot is the favoritt coiffure of the moment. The fringed Bcarf is as fashionable tor the hat as for the gown. Pompadour ribbons are much in demand for evening sashes. One of the new Ideas In evening wrvs Is the long ulster of pale cloth —a coxy garment if not a graceful one. The "two-faced" veil for motorlug la a real autumn novelty. It Is made of two large-motor veila of chiffon of contrasting color, stitched togeth er at the side hem. In different lights it takes variegated hues. Gray, black and blue broadcloth wraps are lined ..throughout with gray or black satin, and many of the new models are made by the high Direc tolre belt to display a corset effect, securing cleverly the slight hipless lines so much In vogue. Wedding gowns are changed so that instead of the heavy velvet train hanging 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 may be worn for dinners and dances. While the Directorie style holds al most unrivalled sway, the sheath gown is absolutely taboo, and even the skirts with false slashes, under* laid with contrasting material, are frowned upon, though they promised to be a favorite model earlier In the season. Cheap Slindc For l'nnr Piazzn. Take two widths of floor matting, either old or new, nboat eight feet long and aew it together; this will make about six feet wide. Overcast the two ends and nail each end to a narrow It rip of wood. Paint it a pretty shade of olive green on both sNes, and hang It from the top of the porch by an end strip, using Urge strew eyes and ordinary rope or very strong twine for pulleys. The strip of wood on the end makes it roll nicely. The two pieces of matting need not match; after painting they look alike. This is much cheaper than Japanese porch shades for a country bouse and looks fine on any hnmr—Boston Post. Apron Pocket. A torn apron and frequent acci dents due to an outside apron pocket led me to insert a deep pocket of white cotton on the right band side under my apron. U U dMO enough to contain hand kerchiefs for the younger children. a daily account order and "work to be done" bonk. Outside of the use of the pocket this hook alone to a treas ure, my accounts are kept straight, my needs for the table never wanting, and the beat of all my husband knows just what la needed most to be done about the house, as 'it Is our own. There Is also joom for thimble and dull pair of scissors; a button or hook sewed on Immediately saves many stitches.—Boston Post. Different Ways of Coloring Icings. White icing is white of egg beaten _ rtiff and mixed with powdered sugar; add a tablespoon of lemon juice; it will be purer white. For yellow icing take a few -drops of diluted saffron and add to the white frosting. Choc elate is the best for black. Cinna mon frosting is made by adding a tea spoon of white of one egg; this is very pretty frosting. Pink Is colored by a few drops of berry or currant juice. Green frosting is made by adding spinach curd to the white frosting. To curdle spinach, bruise a few leaves thoroughly, then squeete the juice into a saucepan and boll till it curdles, then add a few drops of water, strain through a napkin, and with that which remains in the nap kin color the frosting. Blue Is col ored with violets; take a handful o( violets, soak them over night In a lit tle water, then stir thoroughly and strain.— Boston Post. To Temper mid Retemper Flalironi. The average housekeeper is often, much annoyed by the tendency her flatlrons have to cool" too rapidly. This is a thing most easily avoided. The new fiatiron should first of all have the temper set. Allow It to heat for several hours on a moderately hot stove without removing, let it cool gradually till it is perfectly col'l be fore using it. After this it should only be allowed to heat when wanted for use. The habit of leaving the llatlrons on ,the fire at all times In case you ahould need them- will in time ruin any Iron. Allowing the metal to thoroughly soak in the fire will draw the temper of the best steel forged. To retemper an iron which will no longer hold heat, heat it as hot as you can, so long as it isn't glowing, and then drop it in a tub of moderately warm vflater. When cold it should bo treated as a new iron, that is, to reheat it slowly and then let It gradually cool.—Boston Post. \K,mriy , lemonade.—ln making lemonade heat the lemons before squeezing. and you will get almost double the quan tity of Juice. Sour Milk Pie.—Add to a cup sour milk one-half cup sugar, a cup of chopped raisins and a teaspoon cin namon. Stir on stove until hot, then add a teaspoonful cornstarch dis solved in a little water. Bake in two crusts. Oyster Nugget.—One quart of oys ters, six common crackers rolled fine, one-quarter pound of butter, two cups of milk, three eggs; beat the eggs, put all together In your stew pan; stir It about fifteen or twenty min utes over a good fire; be careful and not burn. Serve hot. Quince Marmalade.—Wipe quince, remove blossom ends, cut in quarters, remove seeds, then cut in smaU pieces. Put Into a preseftfcig kettle, and add enough water to nearly cov | er. Cook slowly until soft. Rub through a hair sieve and add three fourths its measure of heated sugar. Cook slowly twenty minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Ripe Tomato Pickle.—Three pints tomatoes, peeled and choppodyUßfr cup chopped celery; four tablespoons chopped red pepper; four tablespoons chopped onion; four tablespoons salt; six tablespoons sugar; six tablespoons mustard seed; one-half teaspoon clove; one-half teaspoon cinnamon; one teaspoon grated nutmeg; two cups Tinegar. Mix Ingredients In or-. der given. Put in a stone jar and cover. This uncooked mixture must stand a week before using, but may be kept a year. KNOX SfC. Of sun Pennsylvania Senator Accepts Highest Piece in Cabinet . MR. HAFT IS MUCH GRATIFIED After Receiving a Telegram Frost Philander 0. Knox, Signifying Hia Willingness to Accept, Mr. Tail Announces His Appointment aa Secretary of State. Angnsta, Ga., Special.—William H. Taft, President-elect of the United States Friday night announced the appointment of United States Sena tor Philander C. Knox, of Pennsyl vania, ss Secretary of Stats in hia Cabinet. The anupuneement followed the re ceipt by Mr. Taft of a telegram, which came late in the sftrrnoan, conveying the information from Mr. Kabx that ho would accept the pre- *• miership of the Tsft Cabinet. Mr. Taft without May made the an nouncement that the matter wss set tled. In giving the details of the ne- be said that the offer waa made to Mr* Knox last Sunday morn ing in New York. That since the offer he had not heard from Mr* Knox until the telegram he received Friday. After a' consultation with Secretary Root in Washington last Snnday afternoon, Mr. Taft said be made sn effort to see the Pennsylvan ia Senator there bnt was informed be was in New York to attend tha *, dinner of the Pennsylvania society. Ho wired Mr. Knox to gee him at the Henry W. Taft residence Banday morning. The appointment was kept Mr. Knox concluding his visit in time for Judge Taft to attend morning church services, but remaining at tha Taft residence until after Judge Taft had gone to church. • » "I feel that I am to be congratulat ed in securing the services of Sen ator Knox in my Cabinet," yJudge Tntf said in making the statement with the understanding that he was to be quoted. "In selecting a Secretary of State I wanted first a great law- I ver, and, second, a man who would fill the public eye, not only here but abroad, as man who stands out pre eminently as a great American. ** "Mr. Knox was a great Attorney General; he wa9 a prominent candi date for the presidency, and he is recognized in the Sonate and else where as one of xhe great lawyers of that body." Judg Taft also feels that from a political viewpoint the selection of Mr. Knox is most happv. He ex plained that there was often a feel ing that the State of Pennsylvania, with its assurrcd Republican major ities, often, was slightly in the mat ter of recognition in the high coun sels of the party. That this will nofe be the case in the next administration was indicated by the announcement by Mr. Taft I hat he nhould invite Senator Knox to «come to Augusta, Ga.. that he mijjht consult him freely with reference to filling other places in his Cabinent. In fqet, he said that he felt the need of such advice she should be able to obtain from Mr. Knox regarding not only the Cab inet. but many matters preliminary to the beginning of his administra tion. That Mr. Knrx's influence will bo potent was freely admitted by Mr. Taft. The hesitation of Senator Knox to uiake a more speedy decision is intar preted here to his desire to arrange with duo regard for the interests of the party and his State for relin-. quishing his seat in the Senate. Mr. Taft evinced many evidences of grat ification at the decision which bu been reached. Root WUI Ifot Realm.
