Teaters and Sweater-Coats
Hie sweater coat 1ms become an ln

irdrobe of the modern woman as the
fflwalst and the blouse are. It
ffted Its career as a matter-of-fact
Wnent devoted to comfort alone, but
S1 become as much diversified as
ouses are, and style Is an Important
wnent that enters Into Its make-up
?ry season. It continues to flourish
8 the strength of being both couifort
e and smart.
Sweaters this season, shown In silk
d in wool, also In fiber silks In great
rlety, are made mostly In two-color
ublnntlons. Many of them are knlt
1 to conform to the figure rather
ugly at the waistline, and equally as
any depend upon a 'sash or belt, like
e sweater, to give them a little defl-
lon of the waist. Nearly all of them
ve rather ample collars and many
long them some of the finest mod-
are furnished with pockets.
The slip-on sweater Is one of the
heater successes of this particular
jason. Its name signifies that It has
front opening, but slips on over the
ad, and It Is made with and without
sash and pockets; the silk models
Ing usually provided with these ex-
n furnishings. The coat sweater Is
iown In the picture with collar and
Jffs In a color contrasting with the
Jidy of the garment. It Is of silk knlt
td with a heavy thread.

Our Food Supply and Our Allies
Every one of us must share, whether
wo will or not, In tho burden of the
cost of the war. The common-sense
thing to do Is to determine now how
wo can help lighten this burden for
ourselves and for others who are al
ready carrying about as much as they
can bear. There are many well-to-do
families In every community who are
not- Inconvenienced by the Increased
prices of foodstuffs, but this burden
benrs heavily on their poorer neigh
bors. Therefore It Is the duty of tho
well-to-do to economize in food and to
forbid all waste of It In their house
holds, In order to make it more, plenti
ful for others.
This year America must feed Itself
and share its food with all Its allies,
and tho chances are that prices will
soar again. There may not be just
enough to go all round, and some
people will then go hungry. It Is un
patriotic arid unchristian to waste food
now, and every housewife can best
show her patriotism by conserving it
In every way known to her.

MUD-PIE PARTY.
"The mud had been very thick of
late," said Daddy, "and Peter Gnomo
thought ho should have some fun with
It.
"'How about n mud plo party?' he
asked the other Gnomes.
" 'Gorgeous,' they all shouted.
"Now of course there are foolish
people In the world who don't know
enough to enjoy mud but they aren't
children, nor the Gnomes and Brownies
and other little friends -of theirs. To
be sure, there nro many reasons why
grown-ups should not like mud. It
spntters their clothes nnd makes their
shoes very dirty and altogether It Is
not'nlco If one has to dross up and
look well every minute of the time.
"Luckily, though, children don't have
to dress up nil the time I They can
mnko mud pics I And If they think
they enjoy them well, they should Just
hear about the Gnomes and Brownies
having a mud-pie party." '
Daddy stopped for a moment.
"Please go on, Daddy," the children
said. "We've been making mud pies
too, -Just lately," they added. "We
want to hear about the Gnomes nnd
Brownies."
"When Peter Gnomo saw that nil the
other Gnomes wanted n mud-plo par;
ty," continued Daddy, "ho suggested
that they ask all tho Brownies to
come.
"Well, the Gnomes thought that
was a line scheme, nnd off they start
ed, this way and that, to ask the
Brownies.
"First of all they saw Blllle Brownie
and his brother Bcnnle chopping wood.
"Well, of all tho things,' said the
Gnomes. 'What are you two doing?'
"'Chopping wood,' snld both the
Brownies, nnd then they grinned and
looked at each other. ,
" 'What did you Imagine wo were do
ing?' nsked Blllle Brownie.
"'Yes,' said Bennlc. 'Do you see?
Here Is the saw and here Is the wood,
nnd hero Is some we have already
chopped.'
" 'What we meant,' said the Gnomes,
'was to ask why you were chopping
wood.
" 'Ah, that Is entirely different, snld
Blllle. 'We shall tell you then, shan't

fast that the Gnomes were n little bit
nfrald It might come off.
"'We were going to have a bonfire
party and nsk you all to it this eve
ning, said Blllle. 'I haven't seen my
old friend Peter Gnome for many a
day.'
"'We nave come with a message
from him,' said the Gnomes.
'"Oh, tell us quickly, what Is It?
nsked Blllle, breathing very hard In
his excItQmcnt.
" 'We wanted you tp come this after
noon nnd Join us In our yearly mud
pie party.'
" 'We'll come right away,' said Blllle,
'and then you must come back for tho
bonfire.'
" 'All right,' snld tho Gnomes.
'"Wo have enough wood for n big
bonfire,' said Bennle. And tho other
Brownies, who had corao nbout to
listen, nodded their heads and turned
somersaults with the thought of all
the fun that was going to be had that
day ami night In Gnomclnnd and
Brownlelhnd.
"Peter Gnomo and Blllle Brownlo
wero .delighted to see each other, and
laughed and chatted right away.
" 'Here,' said Bennle. 'Peter and Bll

Come nnd stnrt tho fun.'
"So Peter Gnome nnd Bllllo Brownie
stopped chatting and Joined the others.
" 'We shall all make mud pics,' said
Peter Gnome, 'and wo shall also mako
mud castles with mud ladles and con
tlemen. Perhaps somo might think It
queer to make ladles and gentlemen
out of mud, but we don't think so, do
we Blllle?' Blllle, of course, agreed
with Peter, and ho went on talking:
I shall give a prize for the finest pie.
tho finest castle, the finest lady, and
tho finest gentleman.'
"And they all set to work. The
prized were very handsome and wero
new scnrfplns of red berries on little
sticks. Each pin had n fastener made
of long grass. Everyone wns delighted
with tho prizes and the mud ladles and
gentlemen caused the greatest merri
ment of tho afternoon. And then they
nil went to Blllle Brownie's bonfire."
