GIVES BOYISH AIR

Blouse Coatee Is Rage for Both Indoor and Outdoor Wear. Extends Several Inches Bojow Norma! Waistline Where It Is Caught in by Sash or Fur. One of the new and very popular blouse coatees, which extend a few inches below the normal waistline and which give a peculiarly youthful, though rather boyish, appearance to the figure, Is shown m the sketch. These blouse coatees are the rage of the hour, and indoor blouses of thin materials are made on very much the same lines. The model illustrated was created by Paquin, and was composed of rust-red wool velveteen, with a sash of skunk, and the same fur on the ends of the sleeves. It was extremely chic. And quite uncommon, writes Idalia de Villiers, Paris correspondent. Several of our leading dressmakers are favoring this outline and it will certainly take a firm hold on popular taste. There is something careless, and, as I have already said, boyish about The New Blouse Coatee. this style of garment, and then it can easily be copied, which is no small tiling In these days of obligatory economy. Many of the blouses made in this style are caught in below the waist by a loose silk sash which Is lightly attached to the blouse here and there. The ends of the sash are tied at the back ; other models are drawn in by a ribbon run through an inch-wide hem ; others are caught In by a band of fur as Indicated in my drawing. But, of course, the model illustrated is an outdoor blouse. You will notice that it is buttoned right up to the throat at one side. This practical and comfortable notion Is In great favor this autumn. The blouse or dress bodices underneath may be quite decollete, but the correct thing is the coat or wrap which buttons up to the throat and which can be worn with or without a warm fur tie. The combination of color shown in the Paquin model is very effective; bright rust-red and black. I have seen 4 rust-red shown in all the best establishments in a variety of materials. This co? or is charming in velvet or velveteen and It looks its best when juxtaposed with skunk or kolinskv. BUSTLE IS MODEST AFFAIR As Used in the New Clothes, It Is Not Nearly So Startling as the Name Implies. Bustle effects made their appearance some time ago, and there is a prospect they will be considerably featured this winter. Two seasons ago bustles were talked about, and a great many garments were shown with the back flare. Somehow they failed to "take," and in a short time they went the way of the barrel silhouette, which pushed its way Into brief sartorial fame during the spring of 1016. The barrel silhouette dropped out of sight for a season and then loomed up again. It was more favorably regarded on its second appearance. A similar state of affairs seems to have been created in regard to the bustle type of garment. It is a very modest and moderate bustle, not nearly so startling as its name implies, and it is generally the result of a drapery drawn from the front of the costume and .made full at the back, pulled up somewhat in sash effect. Millinery Novelties. The "bustle" has made its appearance in millinery, in the "bustle" hat, which has the brim upturned at the hack. The high Cossack turban is another innovation. As to shapes, the preference is given to those of medium size. Scarce as it is, panne velvet holds its foremost place among materials. The favored colors are taupe, brown and purple, but black lias these ull distanced. Feather garnitures and fur trimmings dominate in the decorative end. Brygoods Economist.

BLACK PUT FIRST BY PARIS

Placed Above All Other Colon in France but New York Puts Browns at Head of List Imported or domestic, the new clothes are lovely. Exaggeration has not yet begun to do its worst, and modes are, on the whole, of considerable distinction us well as of charm, declares a fashion letter In the New York Sun. Paris has perhaps put less emphasis on brown, more on the blues and grays and greens, than has New York, yet brown is an Insistent note among the Importations, and the woman who bought a brown suit a month ago need not regret her choice for ny reason save that the shops are perhaps a bit flooded with brown. The blues of , gray and green tones, the dark blues,' taupe and all the soft grays, greeqs in bluish and grayish shadings, as well as in the harder, stronger ivy and billiard cloth; beetroot and other deep reds, mahogany and copper, some good purples, the long line of browns from beige and castor to seal and, above all, black these are the colors Iaris loves and New York, as we have said before, is inclined to put the browns at the head of the list. Never, surely, were so many models sent across seas in black. There's a grimness back of that statement, back of the fact itself. When one stops to realize why Paris thinks so largely in terms of black and gray, the fashion element in these colors seems vastly unimportant. Parisian black is a fact beyond dispute. Often it is lightened by other color, though this color is quite likelv to be nothing more lively than gray or beige or some soft blue ; but black velvet, black satin, black cloth relieved but lightly, ff at all, figured prominently in every group of imported models. SMOCK IS NOT A MERE FAD It Is the Most Comfortable Working Garment for the Gardener, Student, or Artist. The smock is not, as most people who do not wear It suppose, a mere j feminine fad ; it is something more ; it Is the comfortable working garment of the gardener, the student and the artist. That it is comfortable needs no proving, and that it is having a tremendous vogue also goes without proving, But like everything else that has a vogue, it's bound to be abused. Silk, satin or any other of the flossy stuffs is decidedly not the thing for the workshop. But here's one smock that is. It is three-quarter , length, raglan sleeved, unbelted, smocked true to type, and of heavy art canvas. The smocking front and back and on the sleeve ends is rather elaborate; then there Is a bit of oriental embroidery on the rather deep sailor collar just to preserve the feminine air. CAPE COAT IS USEFUL Every once in a while, among its furtrimmed rivals, a cape-coat reminds us that it is possible to be smartly coated and dispense with furs. One of them is shown here with a cape that is abbreviated so that it does not extend across the back, but gives all the impression of a cape just the same. It is of wool velours and its ornamentation is confined to machine stitching and buttons. Such a coat is useful for all-round wear. Separate furs may be worn with' it when they are needed, and the cape gives it a distinctive military air, adding immensely to its smartness. Flower-Trimmed Veil. The flower-trimmed veil is the newest vogue. One's favorite flower may be placed almost anywhere on the veil, but It is more in accordance with the whim of Dame Fashion if that flower be a rose. Decidedly the pretty black, or whltelacc veils are "in for ihu J

As we are asked to observe Tuesday as a meatless day, which all patriotic women will be glad to do, it behooves us to look over our cook books and keep enough recipes for meatless dishes on file to escape monotony. Lima Bean Salad. Over a pint of cold cooked Lima beans pour three or four tablespoonfuls of olive oil, two tablespoonfuls of cider vinegar, one teaspoonful of grated onion, half a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of paprika. Toss and mix; serve with chopped pickle. Peanut butter added to baked beans instead of pork is a change which is liked by peanut lovers. Onions and Cheese. A most satisfying and wholesome I dish is onions and cheese. Cook the onions until tender, then place a layer in a baking dish, then a layer of good rich white sauce and a thick layer of grated cheese, cover with another layer of onions and white sauce and finish the top with buttered crumbs. Bake until well heated and the crumbs well browned. Hard cooked eggs may be cut up and added to onions in place of the cheese if desired. Nut Roast. Take a cupful of finely chopped nut meats, add two cupfuls of bread crumbs, a minced onion, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, salt and pepper, two beaten eggs and enough milk to moisten. Form into a long rolK place in a greased baling dish and cover with waxed paper. Bake forty minutes in a hot oven, basting two or three times with hot water and butter. Fresh or canned mushrooms may be used for the sauce. Celery Soup. Cook the outside stalks of celery till tender with enough water to cover, add a small onion, a slice of carrot and a bay leaf. When tender rub through a sieve. Blend two tablespoonfuls each' of butter and flour and add to a pint of hot milk, cook with the celery pulp, season and serve hot with croutons. Over 4,000 Languages Now; May Be Only Four Century Hence, Authorities Think If you are asked how many languages there are in the world, can you give anything like an accurate answer? The average person's knowledge or ability to speak languages rarely exceeds two besides his native tongue. The late Emperor Francis Joseph, when visiting a Red Cross hospital, spoke with the patients in their own languages, which showed that the aged emperor was a master of six. It may appear strange, but it is nevertheless true, says an exchange, that there are over 4,000 languages spoken by mankind, while the number of dialects exceeds this. There are more than 60 vocabularies in Brazil, and in Mexico the Nahua is broken up into some 700 dialects. There are hundreds in Borneo, while in Australia there is no classifying the complexities. Assuming that HO dialects, on an average, belong to each language, gives the colossal total of a quarter of a million linguistic abilities. Some. authorities think that a century hence there will be only four languages of importance in the world. Central Europe .may produce a newer amPinore straightforward German language, imperial English may reign alone oyer the North American continent, arid a, more businesslike Spanish will be used in South American states, while Russian may take on some more rich Slavonic dialect, which will blend

Country to See Greatest Athletic Activity During The Next Twelve Months Dr. Joseph E. Raycrort, director of the department of physical science at Princeton, predicts a year of unusual athletic activity among the army training camps. He says: "There will be more real and widespread athletic activity in this country during the next twelve months than ever before in our lifetime." Doctor Raycroft is a member of the war department's commission on training camp activities. "That the colleges have abandoned athletics is entirely a false notion that has attained too general circulation and acceptance," says Doctor Raycroft. "The colleges have not and willnot abandon athletics ; what some of them did abandon was intercollegiate competition. "Take Princeton, for example. Of our student body of some 1,600 young men, nearly S00 promptly enlisted fortwar service and at once began training fbr it. It left them neither time nor opportunity to engage in competition with other college athletes, and we therefore made a virtue of necessity." Doctor Raycroft disagrees with the Not Caught Napping. "William," snapped the dear lady, viciously, "didn't I hear the clockstrike two as you came in?" "You did, my dear. It started to strike ten, but I stopped it to keep from waking you up." Depends What You Take. The riddle fiend announced : "If I take two letters from 'money' 'one' will be left. Curious, isn't it?" "Very," drawled the bored friend, "but I can tell you something more curious." "What's that?" "A friend of mine took money from two letters, and now his wife and family are left." Relative Values. "Xou make more fuss about losing a nickel than I'd 'make about losing a hundred dollars." "Boss," said the boy, "you've got the wrong idea. The chances are 3-ou've 3t another hundred. But this was my last nickel. 'Tain't what you lose that makes the difference. It's what

popular notion that American exportness In baseball throwing will prove a distinct advantage in the hurling of bombs. Trench experience, he states, has demonstrated that the most effective results with those deadly little missiles is obtained by a forward and thrusting throw, as in shot-putting or the short-armed bowling throw which prevails in cricket. Information obtained from those who have had experience with bombs and grenades on the battlefields and in the Canadian camps indicate that the free overhand baseball throw is too prone to overshoot the mark to be of such pronounced advantage, as most Americans have fancied must prove the case. Practically every branch of sport will be encouraged in the training camps, but it is probable that boxing will play a leading part.

Stenograoher on Limited Trains Has Difficult Job One of the most difficult stenographic jobs in the world is said to be that of stenographer on the limited trains between New York and Chicago. A recent writer says of the work : "You have to take dictation in any old way on your. sleeve, sitting down, standing up, bending over to hear the words distinctly: in any position and on any kind of paper and at any and all times. The stuff you take down covers about every range of human endeavor and human thought. I've taken dictation from men in pretty nearly every profession I ever heard of from surgeons to shoemakers. I've written wills for lawyers, taken down confessions from criminals handcuffed to detectives, shorthanded editorials for big New York newspaper editors, taken medical opinions for doctors, handled the correspondence of dozens of bank presidents 'and big financiers, written letters for men who have killed themselves twenty-four hours later, drafted telegrams for elopers begging forgiveness if there is any kind of stenographic work that I haven't had a hand in since I've been a train stenographer, ! i can't imagine what It could be." Worries of a Housewife. Women arc given to worry more than are men. When anything threatens to worry a man, he finds solace in the little brown jug, says Zim in Cartoons Magazine. But women cannot look adversity in the face with such calm abandon. They are not built that way. As near as I can make out, it is a difference in temperament. Woman is more highly organized than man. Her nervous system is much better developed. If you notice a look of worry on your wife's face and ask, "Well ! What's up today?" she sighs and says, "Oh, dear, dear! Everything's up. We're getting old and shabby and the house is becoming dreadfully dilapidated, and now to cap the climax I've broken my mop stick I" Fixed the Verdict. One of the shortest summings up on record is believed to be that by the late Commissioner Kerr at the Old Bailey in a case where a man was charged with being in the unlawful possession of a gold watch and chain. The appearance of the prisoner certainly did not correspond with the legitimate possession of such costly ornaments, but he asserted his innocence of the charge, and declared that he had found the watch and chain on the pavement. The judge looked at the man In the dock and then at the men in the box. "Gentlemen of the jury," he said, "I have walked over the pavements of London during the last forty years, and I've never found a gold watch and chain there yet. Consider your verdict. And the verdict was "Guilty." London Tit-Bits. miles 1 What Puzzled Mr. Easterly The hanging gar Him. dens of Babylon muse have been a wonderful sight. Woolsey West , Yes; I've heard of 'em.

The Christian Advocate reports the Countess von Schaumber as givingthis succinct sketch of Rasputin'stheology: , "He made fundamental the doctrinethat there was 'no salvation without repentance and as the righteous need for salvation was a heavy course in sin, 'Blessed are the sinful, for they shall be saved through repentance, was his diabolic beatitude. No wonder he had followers, or that he gave practical lessons in sinning as a means of grace." War Declared on Rats by U. S. Gov't. Tho government at Washington Is preparing a campaign that should be effective in killing the rats that are so destructive both to lives and property. A conservative estimate places the loss of foodstuffs from rats at over two hundred million dollars annually, and In the present scarcity of food, this loss must bo prevented. The most efficient way to "Kill the Rat" is by the use of Stearns Paste, and thousands of dollars worth have been bought by the government. Every housekeeper troubled with rats, mice, roaches or waterbugs should buy a small box of this reliable exterminator for thirty-flv cents, and stop further loss of food in her home. Adv. Memorial to Tom Thomson. A fitting memorial has just been erected in the wilds or Algonquin park to the late Tom Thomnson, the distinguished young Canadian artist, who was drowned there last July, says the Toronto Globe. On tho hill overlooking Canoe lake, where Thomson lost his life, and whose beauties he had transcribed for an ever widening circle of admirers, there now stands a cairn built from native stone, and on Its face a brass plate with the following inscription : "To the memory of Tom Thomson, artist, woodsman and guide, who was drowned in Canoe lake, July 8, 1917. "He lived humbly but passionately with the wild. It made him brother to all untamed things of nature. It drew him apart and revealed itself wonderfully to him. It sent him out from the woods, only to show thesa revelations through his art, and it topk him to itself at last. "His fellow artists and other friends and admirers join gladly in this tribute to his character and genius. "His body is buried at Owen Sound, Ontario, near where he was born, August, 1S77."
