The artistic color combination usually attributed to Pari sian origin is exploited in this exquisite toque of pink silk. It is the becoming inverted shape covered flatly on top and sides with pink silk, over which black net is laid and a design traced upon this in old blue silk thread. Around the bottom of the hat is a narrow band of5 skunk, while the top edge is finished by a row of pink silk roses. These form two loops on the left side, out of which spring a black and a white aigret, which stand smartly erect. Yeast Bread. Soak one yeast cake in a half cupful of lukewarm Mater and mix with three pints of flour and one teaspoonful of salt into which a tablespoonful of lard has been rubbed. Add enough flour to make a dough, knead about twenty-five minutes, put in a warm bowl, cover well and let rise in a warm place three hours. Then divide in even ports, form into loave9, put into baking pans, filling them half full. Ixst rise again till the pans are nearly full and bake in a moderate oven an hour. Baked Brown Bread. Take four cupfuls of buttermilk or thick milk, one-half oupful of brown sugar, one scant cupful of baking mo lasses. Mix one teaspoonful of soda in the milk and one teaspoonful in the mo lasses. Add a scant teaspoonful of salt, stir in one cupful of wtiite flour and enough graham flour to make a pretty stiff batter. Bake one hour in a slow oven. Rye flour is better than white for this bread. Whole Wheat Bread. ^ Dissolve a half cup of sugar and one teaspoonful of salt in one pint of scalding milk, cool, add one yeast cake dissolved in one-fourth cupful of warm water, and with a spoon mix in four and a half cup fuls of fine granulated wheat. Cover well, set in a warm place to rise about three hours. EHvide, form into loaves, place in well greased pans and when the dough rises the second time, very light, bake about fifty minutes in a moderate oven. Coffee Cake. Break into a basin three eggs and add half a pound of castor sugar, a half tea Kpoonful of vanilla, a pinch of ground cinnamon and a teaspoonful of strong coffee. Whip all these together over a pan of boiling water until the mixture is quite warm, then remove the basin and continue whipping until it becomes cold and thick. Then add one ounce of finely shredded ' candied fruit peel, a pinch of baking powder and three ounces of sifted flour. Have a greased baking tin ready, line It with buttered paper, dust It with flour, pour In the mixture and bake for about twenty-five minutes. Turn out and leave till cold. Then pour over the cake a cof fee glace made as follows: _tlr six ounces of sugar, two dessert spoonfuls of coffee and one d^Bsertspoon ful of hot water over toe Are till quite smooth. Pour over the cake and leave to set. LATEST FASHIONS FOR WINTER WEAR White cloth, with a fine, smooth surface, dark fur and touches of old lace, are the mater als used in the make-up of the fash ionable winter tailormade. Costumes of this kind, of course, can only be chosen by women who have a varied wardrobe, as they soil so reaoily. Made up in coat and skirt style, they have all the appearance of the dainty summer gown, the woolen* material giving the necessary winter warmth, while the dark, wintry fur gives a. smart contrast. The white cloth coat end skirt suit has a bodice of soft, filmy material in the same color, the fur being used to hem the skirt and border the long, smooth-fitting sleeves. Suits of the tailored order are also be ing made of white corduroy corded velvet or ratine. Wh le not practical or econom ical, because they need frequent cleaning if they are to retain the spotless fresh ness which is their chief charm, the wni-e ratine suits are extremely smart. Many are fur trimmed, but others are simply tailored and meant to be worn w.th sepa rate furs. One costume bearing the stamp of the artistic in dress in every line is white ra tine trimmed with black fox. The skirt, cut in s mple style, falls to the feet with a hem of black peltry, and the little coat in a sort of reefer shape has a double row of crystal buttons down the front, and narrow square collar of fur. The sleeves, molded to the arms, have wrists of fur, and pla n white ottoman silk forms the rever part of t ie collar, which comes al most to the waist. To complete the toilet there is a .pillow muff of the ratine bor dered with fox, and a little close-fltt.ng hat of the extinguisher type bordered in similar style. Black and white stripes upon plainly made skirt are most bewitching if ar ranged in such a manner as to give the impression of a corkscrew twirl; these spiraki seem to turn from waist down ward at every movement of the .wear rr. Of course, a black jacket cover ing the hips is required over it, with black and white striped revers. Grows hair and we can prove it ?

Telephone Connections at All Storea THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT. By Buth Cameron. The only real thing I did then was to hurry as though every moment were my last, as though the world, which now seems so rich in everything, held only one prize which might be seized upon be fore I arrived. 8 nee then I have tried to recall, like one who struggles to re store the visions of a fever, what it #?s, that I ran to attain or why I should have borne without rebellion such indig nities to soul and body."?David Grayson. What are you? huirying bo for? Do you really need to? Would anything terrible happen if you should stop and breathe? Is it worth while? It seems to me that three out of four Americans could put those questions to themselves with good results. On a post card the other day I read this sage advice: "There is not time to lose in hurrying; man was not made in thirty seconds, nor yet In thirty minutes." The philosopher of the post card did not sign his name, and give me a chance to give him credit, but I think he cer tainly ' deserves credit for rem.nd-ng us of something most of us sadly need to remember. We often ask why it is that we do not make such durable furniture, build such lasting houses, or do any work in the "for-centurles" way In which our grand fathers did it? Have we lost the knack? No, wo haven't lost the knack, but we've lost the time. 1 In a public library the other day, I asked for a certain volume and was told that it had been sent to be bound and wouldn't be back for two or three months. "Why does it take so long?" I asked in wonderment "Oh we send them abroad." they explained, "we can't get any such work done In this country." Why? Because Americans haven't as much intelligence as foreigners? No, be cause they haven't so much time. Thoroughly good work, no matter of what kind, simply cannot be done in a hurry. I I know housewives who are the envy of the neighborhood, because of the Amount of work they appear to "turn off in no time at all. I'm think ng of a particular j woman who was always a marvel to me, until I s ept In one of her beds. In the wee sma' hours of the night I arose and painstakingly and timetakingly remade that bed as it should be made?and be it explained I am not an old maid in the matter of beds. I merely like to have some of the clothes tucked in at the foot -and after that I understood how she managed to "turn off" so much work In no time at all. We talk about the h'gh coet of living and te'l of article after article the price of which has soared to terrible heights. I wonder that we do not say more about that which seems to have become more rare and more expensive than anything else?time? time to do work properly time to rest?time to have friends?time to be happy?time to live. A little book of essays has made a tremendous h't largely on account of Its clever t tie?"How to Live on Twenty four Hours a Day." "Ah, I must get that." I've heard a dozen'people sigh, "I'd like to know how, I don't seem to be able to do it now." Isn't that In itself an excellent criterion on our time-starved condition? It is sad of the American man, that when he finds that his income is not cov ering b s expenses, he does not say, "I must reduce my expenses," but "I must Increase my income." Doubtless, that's what we'd like to do in the matter of time. But unfortunately we can't. We've all the time there is and clever as we are. we can't by hook or crook get any more. The only way out Is the better us? of what we have now. How? Well, for one thing don't shorten an already Insufficient allowance by those *w"n t: me wasters, hurry and worry. Remember the advice of the ph loso pher of the post card?"There is no time to lose In hurry ng. Man was not made In thirty seconds, nor yet in thirty minutes." _ .A great feature Is being made of buttons. and many clever ball apd square effects are seen In bone, pearl and metallic designs, In oolors har monising With the material of the suit Large bound buttonholes or loops and buttons make a clever tri mining and I are used to a considerable extent. Why is it when any one speaks of Tomato Soup, you instantly think of Campbell's? 'The same reason that pianos make - you think of Steinway; ana diamonds, of Tiffany. # k We have been making this soup so many years and making it always so good that it has become the accepted standard of perfect tomato soup. Practical housewives buy it by the dozen and the case; so to have it on hand for any oc casion, any day. That is the sensible way. Try it. 21 kinds 10c a can , .1 Look for the rcd-and?white label SARTORIAL HINTS. By Elizabeth Lee. ? ? | Foulard makes en ideal petticoat for mlddle-teed women's wear all the year around should they so please. It Is soft, light in weight yet durable and can be washed as one wishes without coming to any barm, and is. moreover, Inex pensive. A petticoat of foulard will give the service of three of taffeta and prob ably cost no more In the beginning. The si'k comes in all light and dark shades as well as in black and white, and, as the design* are so simple now (on account of the skimpy skirts), three yards of thirty-six or forty-two inch, fou land will be ample for a petticoat. All undergarments are cut to fit the figure without a scrap of fullness at the top and only the scantiest of flounces trim the bottom. The shaped ruffle trtaamed on the lower edge with two narrower ruffles Is a good model, and, by the way. If the hem on the bottom of the skirt le turned up instead or under the heel of the shoe cannot pos sibly catch tat It, as It is apt to do, and sometimes with most disastrous resu ts For evening wear there is nothing nicer than a soft, creamy foulard, while there are many women who wear this same thing right through the summer under thin woolen or si'k frocks. The darker shades are very good indeed for street and general wear. Women who have large hips complain because the placket at the back of the petticoat always breaks out unless cut unusually long. This means the work of sewing on a number of hooks and eyes if a neat appearance Is desired. To slight the task means ugly gaps. The average len- th will answer if after tha skirt is unhooked in the back it is brought around until the placket teaches one of the hips. The petticoat will their slip to the floor quit* easily. The skirt, too, will keep its shape better, because there will be no strain. The silk jersey-top petticoats are both comfortable and good looking. When one thinks of the heavy petticoats on the moire moreen order in voguetiot so many years ago and compares them with the trim light-weight underwear of today there is certainly one more reason to ?>? thankful to Dame Fashion, who has de creed that our garments shall be as soft and Hkimpy as can he Chiffon taffeta wears well, but genu ine taffeta of the rustling kind is not only out of style, but It will not give good service. There are many substitutes for silk fashioned into most practical petticoats at very moderate prices, and these fab rics are most desirable. True, they do not launder well, but then they shed du*t easily, so with * shake and brush-off they are as fresh as ever. ? Another thing, these cotton petticoat* come in a variety of color* consequently a shade can usually be found to match the gown worn. This is quite an advan tage to the elderly womah who prefer* quiet elegance in dressing rather than striking effects, while if she is short or stout the fact that she is so will not be emphasized every time she lifts her gown if gown and underskirt are of the fame tone. Games for Children. German children have an amusing game with a bail of wool which might be copied by American children to their delight. Tbr? wool Is rolled lightly and placed on s. smooth table round which the players sit. All try their hardeet to blo4r It off, and: the one on whose right hand It falls must pay a forfeit and leave the game. At first it Is easy to keep the ball oo the table, but some of the players are sure to begin to laugh, and of course cannot blow at the same time, so that at IM there will be only two left, and the victory will go to the longest winded. Another good game is "Oat and Mouse." For this the players stand in a circle hand In hand. One chosen for the mouse stands Inside the circle and the **oat" stands outside. Those In the ring dance round, raising and lowering their arms, wtaleh gives Che cat a chanoe to Jump In at ana sMe and the mouse to jamp out at the other. The cat goes round mewing and mains her escape at the first opportunity to ohaaa self by darting ta'tialC'wt*tf*tfce sat gets in -with her the xnosse most pagr a forfeit.
