    A Fur-Trimmed Coat
Just Like Mother's
For the Tiny Miss
FASTIDIOUS youngsters will ap
preciate the unusual touches
given this very smart bit of
topcoat by the odd paneling, the
fetching belting business and the al
together odd use of pleats. To begin
w ith, there Is a very decided raglan
line, which, not content with stop
ping where most raglans do, goes all
the way to the hem line in front;
thus the entire front of the coat Is a
rather extended panel. Four deep
tucks going the length of the front
are almost concealed by inserting a
narrower panel in one with the belt
ends. Note that the whole insert is
cut somewhat like a cross. Other
features to be noted are the collar
and cufT treatment. The former is a
generous turn-over edged with fur;
the cufTs, too, are turn-overs with a
banding of fur. The model would be
perfectly stunning developed In one
of the silver-tone velours, perhaps a
warm brown with bits of beaver for
trimming. Two wee beaver buttons
make for striking touches.
Helpful Hints
To make cocoa take the plate of
the richer chocolate, add tablespoon
of canned milk to two of cocoa.
An easily made dessert is buttered
slices of stale bread, steamed and
bpreatl with Jam and served with
any desired sauce.
A nice pudding sauce Is made by
mixing one teaspoon cornstarch
w ith a tablespoon sugar and stirring
into a t up of boil'ng t vaporated milk
or friitt Juice Those may be mixed.
Another Is one teaspoon of dis
solved gelatin whipped in a cup of
evaporated milk.

Filet and Drop-Stitch Are Combined in This
Knitted Wool Jumper
HERE Is a pattern for a "drop
stitch” jumper that is very
easily and quickly made.
Twelve ounces of double-knitting
wool will be sufficient with a pair of
No. 7 celluloid knitting needles and
a No. 1 Bteel crochet hook.
Commencing at the end of a sleeve,
east on 60 stitches, and knit 1st row
plain. Row 2, knit first stitch, bring
the thread forward before each fol
lowing stitch so as to form an "over,”
and knit each stitch. Row 3, knit
each stitch and drop each "over."
This lengthens the stitches In each
"drop-Btltch” row. Next 3 rows knit
plain. After every third row from
the row of "drop-stitch'' as before.
When the nth Itno of drop stitch is
finished, increase at the beginning
and end of each row hy knitting
twice into the first and last stitch
until there are 6 additional stitches
at each side. After the 16th row of
drop-Ftltch, add on 30 stitches at
each end, and conlniio the pattern for
8 rows, more of the drop-stitch on
the 130 stitches now on the needle.
Knit the first plain row, and coming
back on the 3d row knit 63, cast off 8,
knit 59. Take oyer theso 63 on a spare
needle, and continue In pattern on

formed, knit following row, east on

Make Your Own Napkin Rings of Linen Embroidered
in Bright Colors or to Match the Dinner Service
WHi t mid to your supply
of table linens a «et of nap
kin rings embroidered to
match the dinner service? They are
quite easy to make, and give the ta
ble a dainty finish. The ring could
be carried out In brightly-colored
wools on a stiff coarse linen of fancy
shad e.
You will need a piece at least
seven Inches long by four wide for
each ring, as too small a margin be
yond the actual ‘design Is always an
awkward matter and docs not make
for good work. Actually, when made
up, the rim; should not measure more
than about two Inches hy five.
There Is a band at the top and bot
tom of the ring with a line stem
stitch on either side. Uy pinning
down the linen on a smooth table you
can easily rule the linos required
for these bands, which should be a
quarter of an Inch wide. The center
. m
line, where the leaves are to be, is
easily obtained by creasing the linen
lengthwise with an Iron. Make a
circle about the size of a quarter.
Inaide this circle either put an Initial
or a number. I think almost any
one can sketch a few leaves. These
can bn sketched In with a sharp pen
cil. If not, I am sure you could get
a transfer pattefn.
Now for the coloring and the
stitches You will nerd a bright
dark-blue wool for the bands, which
should bo worked in the plaited
stitch, and a gold ehade of wool for
the rows of stem stitching on eitlfPr
sfdo of these. For the leaves, which
are also In slem-stltch, use bright
green and put the number of the ring
In gold.
Tbo wool for the plaited stitch
should be fairly thick, as a nice bold
effect will thus be obtained, but the
rest of the design should be worked

Serving Sunday’s Roast on Monday
IN many households Monday brings
considerable speculation as to
the form In which the family
will bo called on to greet their
friend of the day before, Bundny's
roast. Here am some savory dishes
that will find s welcome at any ta
ble, whatever the prejudice against
leftovers:

and season with salt and pepper;
have some cold boiled macaroni. In
Inch bits; put alternate layer of
cracker orumhs, the meat, and the
macaroni. In u buttered baking dish,
with a spoonful of tomato catsup on
the lutter; proceed until the dish Is
filled, finishing with a thick Inter

tablespoonsful of melted butter

halls to simulate birds' nests with
the howl of a teaspoon Place plat

with some of the gravy, season high

baked, filling the nest* with the sav

sprigs of parsley. This Is an eco

In crewel wool, threading the needle
with two strands at once. An occa
sional twist will keep the threads
together evenly. These colors are
suggested together for blue, wh^te
wild gold service. You can easily
vary them If you like.
By the way. in the plaited stitch
you must be careful to take up an
equal amount of material at both top
and bottom
If the work looks at alt puckered
when you have finished, don't be at
all alarmed. Place It face down

blanket and pars a fairly hot iron
quickly over it two or three times.
When making up avo.d large turn
ings; a quarter of an inch every

The lining itself should be of data
