Collnrctlos of nil sorts aro much In ilomnml and mako Ideal Httlo shonldor wraps that add graco and charm at tho same tlmo that thoy moan slight warmth. This one Is peculiarly at tractive and takes tho fichu form ho much In voguo. As Illustrated It Is nindo of net handed with ribbon ap nllcd to form diamonds and Is finished with frills and ties of chiffon, uluo ribbon banded. It can, howover, bo made from one mnterlnl or from vari ous combinations. Tho capo portion of sltk, tho frills of chiffon or not 23', makes ono that always Is attractive and trnny others might bo suggested. Tho collaretto consists of tho cape, two frills nnd tho scarf. Tho upper frill is applied over tho cape on Indi cated lines, tho lower is attached to ltn edgo and passes over tho upper endfl of tho scarf, so giving a pecu liarly full and desirable effect at tho front. Tho quantity of material required for tho medium size 13 4 yards 21 Inches wide, or 2 yards 44 Inches wide, with yard of any width for the capo and GO yards of ribbon to make as Illustrated. Salad of Iced Cherries. Why not servo a dainty fruit salad with the game courso? Procure ono largo can each of white and red Cali fornia cherries, romovo tho pits with out breaking tho fruit nnd (111 the cavities with minced walnut meats moistened with mayonnaise or finely chopped sweet peppers. Stand tbe cherries on lcountll chilled, nrrnnge nests of finely shredded crisp lettuce odged with small heart leaves on small plates. Fill tho nusts with as sorted cherries and a spoonful of thick cold mayonnnlso dressing, topped with a slnglo rod cherry and tiny lenves cut from a green popper. This salad will bo found most toothsome, as well as a decided table attraction. Ono yeast cako Is equal to ono tencupful of yeast, a measurement often used In the older, much-prized cook books. An innovation for tho table Is boiled lettuce. Boll tho lettuce until tender; Horvo tho wholo head nud dros3 with butter, pepper and salt. Cracks In Iron kettles may bo mended with home effort. Mix pow dered lithargo with glycerin to tho consistency of uptty. After those ele ments are thoroughly mixed, apply llko any cement. Whon you huppon to have n few tablespoonfuls of jam or jelly left over, try what a delicious addition it makes to baked apples, dropping a tenspoonful into tho core of each ap plo before they go in tho oven. Keep a wire dishcloth to set In tho bottom of a kcttlo while cooking anything that may stick and burn. It will adapt Itself to tho shapo of a kettle bettor th'nn a trivet or a pail lid. Of course, it must bo kept for this purpose exclusively. Handsome Waists of White Lace. Very handsomo autumn wnlsts aro mado of liberty satin and theso waists aro not necessarily oxponslve. They may bo In n deep shade of oyster whlto, trimmed with pnlo whlto lace, and finished with applications of laco of a deep shado of ecru. It is very fashlonnblo to mako laco waists of half a dozen shades of white laco and to use tho laco a3 ono would uso flouucos of silk, with ono flounce falling over tho other. Lace, In a shado of lemon white, Is appllquod with medallions of laco in blue-white, whilo tho wholo Is em broidered in stitches that are in a made of pearl. This gives sovoral shades of whlto and makes tho waist much smarter than If It wcro all of a single tone. It Is very smart, indeed, to fasten your white girdle with small blac vel- & 0- ct buttons. Set a double row of tuoso buttons nt tho sldo and. hook your glrdlo Invisibly underneath. A whlto sntln stock Is secured In tho snmo manner, by Invisible fastenings, with doulo rows of black volvet buttons at each side of the stock. Iced Chocolate. Carefully made and served Iced chocelnto Is delicious and wholosomc, though not nearly so well known as It ought to bo. To prcparo It, put Into a granite saucepan four ounces of pow Jorcd unsweetened chocolato and six ounces of granulated sugar. Add ono yuart of boiling water, and when well mixed place over a moderate llro and cook until the liquid Is of tho con sistency of thick Byrup. Strain, cool &nd (lavor'with vanilla nnd cinnamon. Bottle nnd storo In a cool plnco. When needed put two tablospoonsful oi tho syrup In n tall. glass, with threo tablespoonfuls of whipped cream, ono gill of milk and ono gill of carbonated water. Shako well before drinking. Currant Salad. Hero Is a combination I never tried before, but wo found it good, wanting something different for lunch ono hot day. I bad slices of corned beef laid on a bed of lettuce; then wo had In left chest currants thnt had been washed and had sugar scattered over them' and had stood over night on Ice. I put spoonfuls of these over tho meat. Served with my mayonnalso dressing, It was very nice. Instead of currants, beets cut Into straws and slightly pickled would be real good. If tho mayonnnlso gets a little thick It can bo thinned with vinegar. Care for Light Colors. To preserve light colors In shirt waists that aro built of wash goods tho amateur laundress is advised to soak tho waists In n gallon of cold water to vfhlch has been addod n handful of Bfilt. Allow them to soak for fifteen or twenty minutes, then hang up 1 tl.o Bhndo to dry. When onco dry colored cotton goods can bo washed without fading, provided a Httlo caro is used. oadoir Confidences- French bluo Is notable among fash icr.rthlo colors. Spotted and pnstlllo materials con tinue to bo popular. Tho fashlonnblo gloves aro cham pagne or pure whlto. Tiny spangled fans In tho geisha slzo come for tho bnlr. Long coats aro surely creeping back Wh FOR WEE FOLK. nf mm H? x' Frocks that fall in unbroken lines from tho shoulders aro always be coming to small children and mako th 0 best posslblo modelB. This ono la eminently dainty, and Is mado of sho or Porslan lawn with trimmings of embroidery, but tho design suits stu rdy materials oqually well nnd tho yoko can bo added, making It high at tho nock, whonover desired. To make tho dross for a child of two years ot ago will bo required 25i yards of ma terials 27 or 32 Inches wide. Into vogue If, Indeed, thoy can lio - said ever to havo gone out. Plain shirt waists aro tho only kind invored for outdoor sports. The laco and llnon suits aro two thirds lace nnd ono-thlrd llnon. Bolora jackets of Irish laco nrc worn with any handsomo linen skirt. Neckties made of rows of amber, Jot, corliollan or nmethyst aro again worn. Elbow sleeves, consisting of throe Iitiffs, each separated by a fall or laco, are smart. Many bIcovcb aro lifted nt tho arm holes to glvo a high, squarc-shoul dored effect. Eton coats, Russian blouses nnd short sneka of black glaco silk are very smart For Morning Wear. IIouso Jackets mado with yokes thai extend well over tho shoulders are nmong tho latest shown nnd aro taste ful nnd becoming ns well as fashion able. The very pretty model lllustrat cd combines pink nnd whlto dlmlnt with whlto lawn, tho big dots being embroidered nnd nil edges finished with fnncy braldc; but tho design Is an admirable ono for all seasons nnb for all materials In voguo for gar nents of tho sort. To mnke tho JacUcl lor a woman of medium size will be required 4 yards of material 27, 4 yards 32 or 2 ynrds 44 Inches wide, wltl- -74 yard 32 Inches wide for yoke and cuffs. Creole Syllabub.

It is always a cinch whon men take extraordinary financial chances, but it is frequently hard even whon you hold them to get both pedroes into your own pile. Automobiles mako a man forget all his other sorrows. If you cannot for get yours that way, move Into n flat where your next-door neighbor has a phonograph !

In Illinois n quarrelsome man and his wife aro each to occupy tho same 1 ousc In half week relays, alternating in tho occupancy. This moans that the bed will be made three times a week, anyhow.
