FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER BECOMING ATTIRE DESIGNED TO BE WORN AT WORK. Pretty and Practical Garmenta Are at Command and May Bo Procured at Cost That la Really Remarkable. Never were housekeeping garmenta more coquettish' than now, and the woman is foolish, indeed, who goes about her home duties unbecomingly .ttired. Ffom the housekeeper’s workng gown itself —that useful garment which must often stand a deal of drudgery, down to the apron in which ihe does her preserving and canning, styles are immensely pretty, while - oslng nothing of practicality. This is an excellent season for the sewing ofworking clothes, but if there is no time for the larger pieces of work, the frocks needed can be ready made at small cost. All of the shops keep the little wash cotton gowns needed, dubbing them house dresses or maid's dresses, and they are as heap as cheap, good models in durable materials selling as low sometimes as 98 cents. The frocks are in onepiece style, with white bands upon

color, and plain bands upon figured fabrics, and the buyer who loves dainty effects may Indulge lp charming colors —violet, pale blue, or some shades of green, yellow or pink. Why wosh dishes in an ugly dress when you can get a pretty one that washes quite as well, perhaps better? The unsightly home gowns are commonly made in dark colors, and these are

HANDSOME FROCK OF LINEN

With Accessories It Makes Most Attractive Costume for Out-of-Door Entertainments.' There is a kind of linen which Is al-most as thin as muslin, having a loosely woven mesh which makes It nearly transparent. This is trimmed lavishly with drawn-thread work, through %e large open squares of which Is visible the foundation of white sponge cotton. This dress In saxe blue or cherry color Is equally handsome, and is smart enough for dress occasions, for race meetings, garden parties, and so on. To wear with the frock there is a quaint and pretty hat of Leghorn straw, curved and bent after the manner of a shepherdess hat, with a low dome crown entirely veiled In very fine black tulle illusion. The tulle is raised rather high above the crown, and rising In billows toward the back, while the hat Is apparently held in place with a long tulle scarf carried round the throat In front, pinned on the left shoulder and left to float' in a streamer from thence.

Smart Coat and Skirt.

Even in plain coats and skirts there is a fancy for certain forms of trimming, or the introduction of another fabric of contrasting color to obtain the requisite variations. One very charming coat and skirt was composed of the fashionable lemon shade of crash linen, with revers of black and white galatea, which form a pointed cape collar at the back. A narrow strip of tile galatea outlines the ba.sque of the ooat and appears as a panel let In to tiie skirt from the under-petticoat

less likely to stand soap and water than are the light colors. Our sketch presents the working apron in a very desirable phase, and the material used in this case is blue and white percale. The ffont and sides of the apron are cut separately so that a narrow goods could be used, and the capacity of the pocket is decidedly strengthened through its being put into the seam. Checked gingham, denim and crash would make the more sturdy aprons which would be wanted in this style, but the gayer cottons, white with floral figures, are very pretty and much used. A sleeve protector in the same material as the apron is a useful detail, and a good model Jor this is also shown with the picture.' The sp is of sheeting in a loose weave, and it is gathered in a tape, which is removed for laundering. Mop caps are always becoming to pretty faces, and when in correct fabrics they seem to give a proper finish for working clothes. Besides, they protect the hair from dust and kitchen odors and seem to Indicate a punctilious neatness in all kitchen matters. Some charming house caps of workaday sort are made of big bandanna handkerchiefs, arranged so that two points will fall over the ears. Caps for afternoon use are bewilderingly pretty, little fooleries of muslin and ribbon, which in many cases are worn 'with a tiny matching apron. The two pretty things are for afternoon tea use, and they are likewise donned for the club’s sewing spree. The aprons for this dressy use run to exceeding smallness. They are mere wisps, covering only the front of the skirt, and generally gathered over a ribbon waistband.

FORECAST THE WINTER HAT

From the Outlook the Designs Are to Be Less Simple Than Those of the Present. As the days get shorter, they get more and more sultry, In the absence of any clear sunshine, but the fall hat pursues its relentless course towards a winter ideal, writes a Paris correspondent. You really require courage to put head out of doors in a smart French watering place, with a straw hat pinned to your hair. The French milliner utterly taboos even a Panama, and white felt, dark plush and such Jike cosy materials are forced upon her unwilling clients. But as the season advances, the hat grows less and less simple. One seen at the riding trials at Dinard this week was a round and close-fitting hat, in a klpd of white panne, that was irregular enough in surface to take all manner of lights upon It. This had for trimming the plumage of two birds of Paradise in the gorgeous natural coppery tint that we seldom see. As you may imagine, it was costly enough to be suitable at the smartest functions, and will probably be seen at Aix-les-Bains.

Ecclesiastic Chemises Now.

The latest eccentricity of fashion Is underwear decorated with a cross motif. The cross is made of lace, or is embroidered by hand, and is placed on the front of the chemisette or nightgown, exactly In the center. When lace insertion Is Used to make the cross, one piece is laid over the other and the fabric Is buttonholed over the lace all the way around the edges and then clipped away. The Maltese cross, with four equal sides, is used.

Skirt Widths.

Much has been heard regarding fuller skirts for suits next, season, says the Dry Goods Economist -The few house that brought out a real full Bkirt, however, did not meet with success. The skirt now being made by manufacturers Is a happy medium between a full skirt and the very narrow one in vogue a year ago. This will no doubt be the popular width for fall and winter. It 1b still made to give the straight lines, but has enough fullness to permit of perfect freedom In walking. A few plaits are introduced in a clever manner in the back, front and sides, but are pressed or stitched so as not to give any flare.

“LET US HAVE A HEART TO HEART TALK.”

* Be you producer, consumer, dairy man, farmer or manufacturer; are you giving thought to ecdnomlc conditions as they are today in America? If so, what are your views on the needs of importing $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 worth of dairy products the last fiscal year, and what do you think about our having to import. $4,000,00tf worth of meat animals during the same period?

What got us into such a shape? Let us talk It over. Was it cheap production on the low-priced lands of the west, or were we scared by the constant hammering that the politicians gave our industry, and which the city press has only too thoughtlessly been willing to publish as news, to the effect that we were being robbed by the trusts? Or was it mere indifference to some kind of live stock production on the farm because we were breeding scrub stock and it did not pay? No matter what It was that has put us where we are, we are losing ground. Profit, labor and all the bugaboos that enter into the subject have been cussed and discussed, but the serious problem is before us of overcoming the need of sending $125,000,000 to $150,000,000 of our good American gold to foreigners for our food supply. We are as Intelligent as any nation on earth and as capable as the people of any country to solve the problem of economic productlmi. It Is one that must be seriously considered by all the people and each and every one must give of his talents and means to solve it.

The price of land in the middle west has been enhanced very considerably In the past ten years, and our state agricultural colleges have done splendid work in showing us what can be produced profitably on these highvalued lauds, and dairy farming seems to be the answer, but this must be engaged In Intelligently. You must first have profitable cows on your farms, then intelligent farming, bo as to secure maximum of production at minimum of cost. As the merchant, manufacturer and railroad president must seek new and modern methods to attain the best results in his business, and is constantly expending large sums to "equip himself for present day competition, why should not the farmer and dairyman seek the best obtainable information on subjects of interest to him?

Each year at Chicago, we have the National Dairy Show,, which gives actual demonstrations in problems of breeding and feeding for greatest profit in all of the dairy breeds. These shows give you a practical demonstration In all that is modern in machinery, both for the dairy and for the farm. Experts who have solved, the marketing of and caring for the dairy products for best results, here give you tbelr findings. Why not take advantage of it? Do not get It into your head that you are tod Bmall in the business to get value out of this show; the small men and the beginners really are the chapa the show is for. The creamery man, the milk dealer, the butter maker, the ice cream man, all receive their benefit at this great show that is founded for no other purpose than to advance the Interest of the dairy cow. Think this over and come and see us October 24 to November 2 at the International amphitheater, Chicago, the only building, except Btate fair buildings, where the Immensity of your Industry can be fully displayed. Will you do your part to advance the cause? -The problem Is before the country, “Which shall it be, Beef or Dairy?”

Collective Housekeeping.

An English paper tells of an experiment in collective housekeeping in what is known as Brent Garden village. The dwelling houses contain all improvements except a kitchen. Meals for everybody are cooked at a central haU, and may either be eaten there or sent holhe. A four-course dinner costs only 1 shilling and 6 pence. Servants are supplied, when needed, from the central hall at a cost of about ten cents an hour.

“Why do you always ask that regular customer If the razor hurts him?” asked one barber. “Just as a gentle reminder,” replied the other, “that If he forgot the tip It’s liable to hurt him next time.”

ICE BOX EASILY MADE

KITCHEN RECEPTACLE MAY BE PUT TOGETHER AT HOME. Inexpensive End Really Cleaned and More Sanitary Than Those Padked With Bawdust and Other Materials. The construction of a good Ice box consists essentially of two boxes made of tongued and grooved lumber threefourths of an inch thick. The two boxes were made of such dimensions that the smaller one will fit Into the larger one with an inch to sftare all around and on the bottom, the boxes being held firmly together by having inch strips nailed to the Inside of the larger one at intervals of a foot apart. Before these strips are put in place, building paper should be tacked to the inside of the outer box, and to the outside of the inner one, then after the paper is on, the space between the boxes is carefully measured and the inch strips planed down so that it will be a snug fit when the box is placed within the other. The construction of the cover Is the same as the sides and bottom, except that there is a flange at the front and sides of the cover. The corners of the outside box are strengthened - and made tighter by having a strip of building paper tacked over them, and corner boards

Home-Made Ice Box.

an Inch thick nailed over it, like the corner-boards of a building. Cleats nailed on the bottom at each end will strengthen the box and make it more easy to move about. The inside ot ( the box is lined with zinc or galvanized iron.jthe latter being much cheaper, ana just as good for several years. After the box 1b put together a strip of thin lumber covers the upper space between the boxes, thus making a dead-air space. A short piece of half-inch pipe is Inserted in the bottom of the box to provide drainage, and the lower end of this outlet should be kept immersed in a vessel of water to prevent air gating Into the box. This ice box is much cleaner and more sanitary than those packed with sawdust and similar materials.

Apple Sago.

To make apple sago put 1 cup sago in a quart of tepid water, with a pinch of salt, and soak 1 hour. Take 6 or 8 apples, pare and core or quartered and steamed tender, and put In the pudding dish. 801 l and stir the sago until clear, adding water to make It thin, and pour it over the apples. Bake T hour. This Is good hot with butter and sugar. As apples are hard to get now, make It this way : One quart milk, 4 tablespoons sago boiled In the milk till soft.

Beat the mixture until very light and fold in a large cupful of blueberries. Bake in a shallow oblong pan In a rather quick oven for 25 minutes. When baked, dust the top thickly with powdered sugar and serve hot. Cut Into squares Or the squares may be torn lightly apart and spread with butter. *

Corn Slitters.

A now way of eating corn on the cob is to slit the corn hulls while on the cob with a small nickel “slitter,” ssyß the New York Times. This cuts five rows of the corn hulls at one time, so that one eats the grain and leaves the hulls on the cob,' or it lp used to extract, for cooking, the milky grains from the hulls and leaves sdl the hard part on the cob as waste. The “slitters” cost 35 cents each. When used at table, of course there must be Individual provision In the number placed.

Robert Browning’s Will.

Diligent search la being made at Florence, Italy, for the will of Robert Browning, son of the famous poet, but so far it has not , been found. The faot that there apparently Is no will is causing considerable gossip, as the property, of which there Is a good deal, both in Asolo and Florence, will pass to his wife, who was Miss Coddlngton of New York, and from whom he lived apart for years, owing to incompatibility of temper. Browning’s property in Florence to eluded Casa Guldl, where he spent his childhood days. When his mother died the property passed out of the family, and was acquired by him a few years ago.

A FOOD CONVERT Good Food the True Road to Health.

The pernicious habit some persona still have of relying on nauseous drugs to relieve stomach trouble keeps up the patent medicine business and helps keep up the army of dyspeptics. Indigestion—dyspepsia is caused by what is put into the stomach in the way of Improper food, the kind that so taxes the strength of ,tbe digestive organs they are actually crippled. When this state is reached, to resort 1 to tonics is like whipping a tired horse with a big load. Every additional effort he makes under the lash diminishes bis power to move tha load. Try helping the stomach by leaving off heavy, greasy, indigestible food and take on Grape-Nuts—light, easily digested,, full of strength for nerves and brain, in every grain of it There’s no waste of time nor energy when Grape-Nuts is the food. “I am an enthusiastic user of GratWNuts and consider It an ideal food." writes a Maine man: ,' “I had, nervous dyspepsia and was all run down and my food seemed to do me but little good. From reading an advertisement I tried Grape-Nuts food, and, after a few weeks’ steady use of it felt greatly improved: “Am much stronger, not nervous now, and can do more work without feeling so tired, and am better every way. “I relish Grape-Nuts best with cream and use four heaping teaspoonfuls es the cereal part of a meal. I am sure there are thousands of persons with stomach trouble who would be benefited by using Grape-Nuts.” Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
