Coat With Vest Front.
Fitted coats with vest fronts are
among the newest and smartest shown
and aro very generally becoming.
This one includes also the new
sleeves, which are full at. the shoul-
ders, and a novel roll-over collar that
Is extended down the fronts. As Il-
lustrated the material fts wood brown
’•roadcloth with the vosh or white
oth and the trimmings of velvet, but
> 1 suiting materials and all materials
i vogue for coats of the sort are
(ually appropriate. The long lines,
at are given by the seams that ex-
tend to the shoulders, are peculiarly
desirable as they tend to give a taper-
ing effect to the figure.
The coat is made with fronts, that
are cut In two portions each, backs,
side-backs and underarm gores, (he
vest being separate and attached un-
der the fronts on indicated lines. The
sleeves are'made in two portions each
and arc finished with roll-over cuffs
at the wrists. The collar and rovers
finish the nock and front edges and
are rolled over onto coat. -
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is 3% yards 27
Inches wide, 2>4 yards 41 inches -;ido
or 1% yards 52 inches wide, with %
yards of velvet and % yards of any
width for vest.
Flat Boas andv Pelerines.
The new. ostrich nfid marabout fiat
boas and pelerines are wider than
ever, more extravagant in coloring
and command an. exorbitant price.
Some of them are eighteen inches in
width, and have a decided cape effect
in the back and over the shoulders.
This cape is In a deep shade of the
coloring selected, and the stole-ends
fade gradually until at the tips they
are almost pure white. The fa-, orltc
colorings are American Beauty red.

orange, fading to palest lemon, and a
rich seal brown, fad.ing to a white
that suggests both pink and chocolato
color.

Skirts must stand out from the
ankles, even If it takes a hit of honing
to bring it to pass.
A child's white serge coat Is pret-
tily trimmed with the red and white
skin of the calf.
Chenille straw in various colors and
in shaded effects figure largely upon
autumn millinery.
Some of the new leather belts have
two short tabs .buttoned in postilion
fashion Jq the. bock.
Tight little ItTarip Antoinette elbow
sleeves are finished with a broad
flounce, in evening gowns.
The frivolous parisjenne herself has
capitulated to sticjrt1 skirts for all occa-
sions but high dress.
There Is little difference between
the tea gown of to-day and any light,
pretty and effective house gown.
Silk gowns are to be worn right into
zero weather and silk and ribbon
trimmed hals will keep them company.
Coming Skirt Fashions.
Skirls promise to bo very full at the
hem. The plain full skirt which has
been such a surpess during the sum-
mer season will he given a new lease
of life, as will also this same model
trimmed with double ruches at the bot-
tom. Not a few of the plaited skirts
are stitched down about the hips to
form a small yoke. In general, the
front breadths aro left plain. Skirts
will also have attached flounces wBh
a heading of deep plaits or some other
form of trimming. Tailored gowns for
autumn will be built of finely-woven
fancy wools In indefinite checks and
plaids, or showing mixed grounds and
embroidered dots. ■ ■ •'
Coat Trimmings.
• Plain broadcloth and serge coats In
one tone, especially the dark shades,
are enlivened by white collars and
cuffs braided with either gold or sil-
ver galloon. Many women continue to
believe that the taffeta coat, whether
lined or unllned, Is the best for motor-
ing. They shed the dust, and if the
quality of silk Is good they will last
qne or two seasons. They i.re often
interlined, not only with a lighter
weight taffeta, but a light flannel
placed between the two silks. A new
model hi ppfigee is built with a series
of capes, three in number. The gar-
ment proper is semi-fitting and lire,
deepest capo falls a trifle below the
elbows and one and ail of them are
confined to the body or the garment by
buttons and straps. In fact, all three
capes are made separate and one or
two or ail of them can be worn or not.
Material i for Dust Coats.
A great, deal is said* about the dur-
ability of mohair for dust coats- It
certainly has the advantage of shed-
ding the dust, hut every drop of ruin,
even after sponging, leaves its mark.
Chantung, severely made but fash-
ioned upon loose flowing lines, heavily
stitched, with a possible ornamentation
of braiding or lace, is one of the most
successful garments of the hour. Of-
tentimes a bit of color is introduced
into the coats in the collar or in the
cuffs. Each week more cloth coats are
seen, but these for the most part are
the three-quarter length garment,
loflsfe and roomy and cut on rather
mannish lines. One of the new coats
is chiefly noticeable for the huge pock-
ets which are set on each side of the
front just below the line of the bust.
Another cloth coat has an odd cape
passing over the shoulders, but rnn-
ningafntfy-the seaime on each side of a
liox plait in the back. The knit home-
spuns are dlso in evidence. The best
model has a full belted back and loose
front, which may be either worn open
or buttoned back. The belt slips
through the side seams and passes un-
der the front.
Chicken Jelly.
Let two or three chickens cook slow-
ly in a small quantity of water until
the meat loosens easily from the bones,
and season with salt and pepper. As
soon as it Is cool enough to handle, re-
move bones and skin. Place the meat
in a deep mold and use gizzard, liver
and heart. To the water left in the
kettle add half-a box of gelatine dis-
solved first in a lit tie warm water, and
boil until reduced to about a pint.
Pour this over the chicken in the
mold and set away to cool. Cut in
slices with a very sharp knife.
/ qul^e as satisfactory to the wearer as
it Is stylish and effective. The flat
I finish at the hack and the flv font
I make specially noteworthy features,
together with the,, pockets vktcu are
inserted In each front.
Furs Used as Trimmings.
Many cloth and velvet gowns have
an introduction' of beaver used about
the corsage and sleeves, while one
weH-UnoWn. furrier shows a few at-
tractive long-basqued coats in dyed
moleskin, which might easily be mis-
taken for sealskin, hut with a muck
more' brilliant sheen. The coat was
light, warm and atractivc, besides be-
ing extremely becoming. Ermine is
being used again, combined with beav-
er or sable, while ehincilla is likely to
be worn much more than it was last
-winter. Lace is liding used on fur
models, but more as a plaited lining
at the base of shoulder capes or
sleeves.
Fashionable Blue and Green.
No combination of the season is
more fashionable than blue and green
and none more effective when the cor-
rect shades 6f each are chosen. This
very attractive little frock is made of
dtirk green, cashmere, trimmed with
bands jjf blue silk overlaid with uar-
row braid of the green edged With
straight bands of the silk on which

Popular Typo of Millinery.
Among the most popular hat shapes
in Paris aro those known as Varennes.
True, they have been worn through*
out the summer, but with Jower
crowns than those now appearing. In
many cases the crown is conical or
funnel shaped, and it is a point to be
observed that the trimming will con-
sist of a double band of velvet in
two shades, leaving the upper part of
the crown visible, and a plume of
three feathers will be pinned in the
center of the front, and caught with a
high narrow buckle.
Box Coats Now FashioViable.
Box coats quite loose are among
the most fashionable for general wear
and arc rendered both novel and smart
by the introduction of collar and cuffs
of contrasting material. An attract-
ive model is made of navy blue cheviot
With collar and cuffs of white cloth
stitched ar.d piped with velvet and is
ring dots are embroidered and Is thor-
oughly charming. The waist is one of
the newest and prettiest of the sea-
son and is made with quite novel
sleeves that are joined to a trimming
hand, their fullness so arranged as to
give the desirable broad effect at the
shoulders. The skirt is five gored
and can be gathered at the upper
edge, as illustrated, or tucked as may
he ’preferred. The quantity of mate-
rial required for a girl fourteen years
of age is, for waist 4Vi yards 21, 4
yards 27 or 2 yards 44 inches Wide;
for skirt 5% yards 21, 4% yards 27 or
2% yards 41 inches wide.
New Fashionable Frill.
The swathed bodice will be among
the fashionable features of the new
styles. It will be matje of silk, velvet
and other supple fabrics, the founda-
tion naturally fitting the-figure. But
whether swathed or not, the coming
tight-fitting bodice concludes in a
sharp, deep point in front; and many
of the new evening bodices are in the
old-fashioned style—small, tight-fitting,
without sleeves, except for the drap-
ery of lace.or chiffon.
A HANDSOME THEATER WAIST.
^ 7
Odd waists of panne velvet ard ex-
ceedingly smart and exceedingly hand-
some in effect and will be greatly
worn during t1- entire season for the
theater, lpfotmal dinners and all oc-
casions "of the like. This one is pale
yellow in cpfBr with the little square
yoke of white net and is trimmed with
heavy silk passementerie, frills of lace
flashing the front and the wrists. The
design Is- a jieculiprly desirable one
and shows tucks which give a box
plaited effect, producing tapering
lines at the bsck, while they are
stitched to yoke depth at the front,
so providing, fulness below that point.
The quantity of material required foi

Another, where fame's topmost Summits

And one had love.

Ills years were spent;
Where, tar removed from moiling out

Babbled of quiet things, of resting peace,
-.And deep content.

Of fortune set his feet ,
Or quaffed fame's goblet, wreathed with

And found it incomplete'

Pancake Time.
As the days grow shorter and the
mornings colder the toothsome pan-
cake appears at many a breakfast
table, in spite of ail the doctors have
to say about them, and a whole army
of small boys are delighted to swim
a big pile of them in maple ryrup and
tuck them under their vests by way
of their throats, before they hurry off
to school. Long, long ago, in old Eng-
land, pancakes were thought to be
even worse than they are now looked
upon. Some ancient writers wont so
far as to gravely claim that the eat-
ing of pancakes would drive people
stark, raving mad.
In those days pancakes were greed-
ily eaten during Lent, when meat was
forbidden. Great batches of them
were fried in fat and served swim-
ming in grease. When they were
ready a bell was rung, calling the hun-
gry laborers from the fields to the
feast. This bell came to be known
as the “pancake bell.” Boys then went
out “pancaking,” and. armed with
sticks and stones and broken crock,
ery to “rattle a door,” repeated this
chant from house to house:
“i am come a sbrovir.g- for a piece of
pancake.
If you'll give me a iitlle I'll nsk no more.
If you don't give any 1 11 rattle your
door. ’
They usually got the pancakes
Plate Balancing.
Do you know how to balance a
china plate on the point of a needle,
and even to cause it to spin steadily
upon this delicate support? ,
Cut two corks down the middle, and
in the ends of the four halves thus
obtained insert forks, inclined to the
smooth sides of the corks at a little
loss than right angles.
Place these four corks around the
rim of the plate at equal distances
front one another, and see that the
teeth of the forks are in contact with
the rim. to prevent them front sway-
ing.
With a little care this plate can
now be balanced on the point of a
needle whose eye has been buried in
the cork of an uptight bottle.
By giving it a gentle rotary motion
the plate may be made to spin
around, which it will do lor quite a
long t'me,
it makes a perfect er 'raving of a
steamboat. The hull, with its round-
ed keel, and the black funnel, are’so
well made that it does not require the
least bit of imagination or study to
see it. As soon as anyone lays his
eyes on a piece of white oak in which
the timber beetle has bean he is sure
to exclaimWhy, look at the picture
of a steamboat I”
“Weavers and Weft.”
There are two sides in the game of
weavers and weft, so that only an
equal number can take part. Each
player is provided with a new, shal-
low tin pan, the parties then separate
and stand in two lines, facing each
other, about eight or ten feet apart.
The starter at the, head of one of
the lines fastens one end of a ball of
yarn to a doorknob or chair just be-
hind him, and, putting the ball on bis
pan, tosses it to the play* r directly
oi posite, who endeavors to catch it on
his pan, and toss it to the person on
the other side, who stands next to the
starter.
The third player in turn sends it
back to the one standing second on
the opposite side. In this order, go-
ing back and forth, the bail travels
down the ranks.
When it reaches the end of (he line
it is started back again, and kept go-
ing until tlie yarn is all unwound.
In no case may the ball lie touched
with the hands. When it falls to the
floor, it must he lifted .tip with the
pan by the player- who drops it or
fails to catch it, and when the yarn
fastens itself to the clothing, or be-
comes entangled around the body of
the player, it must not be touched, no
matter bow - much it may inconve-
nience the movements.
Great care should be taken rot to
break the thread; any one doing so
is counted out of the game. He can
not leave his place, however, for mov-
ing.may disturb the yarn attached to
others. The ends of the broken yarn
must be tied together before the game
is resumed.
When the yarn is all unwound it is
the object of each player to loosen
himself front the tangle without
breaking the thread.
The time must he noted, and five
minutes only be allowed for the dis-
entanglement.
'v~At the end of this time the side
Which has the greatest, number of
members free from the meshes of the
yarn wins the game.
Strap Puzzle.
To make this puzzle, get two pieces
of leather about ; two inches square
and one «^ong; narrow strip oi very
limber leathoV.; ’’Now cut a slash
second square and down through th»
second slash. Fig. 2 shows you how
to make the second loop. Bring the
free end of the strap around the low-
er slash, slip it back through the tip-
per slash, stick the upper square,
loop and all, through the loop in the
lower end of the strap, pull the strap
back until it forms the loop shown in
the lower ent^.cf Fig. 1, an there you
arjft! In taking the squares off the
logp this process is simply reversed.
Ugh cardboard for the squares and
1st rip of firm cloth for the strap
mky be used if you cannot get the
leather.
Grasshopper Pie.
Insects That Draw Pictures.
Few people, except lumbermen and
scientists, know that there are a lot
of American insects that draw pic-
tures. But lumbermen know it to
their cost, for the pictures arc drawn
in the Umber of valuable trees, and
the drawing instruments used by the
little artists are their jaws and boring
tools, with which they carve their de-
signs so deeply into the trees that
they die.
The. most striking pictures, are
made by the Columbian timber bee-
tle. When this insect bores into oak

across two sides of each square near
the edges, and also a long slash in
each end of the strip. The problem
is to loop the strap in the squares, as
shown at Fig. 1, and then take it off
again. You will find it easy with the
strap entirely free to make the loop
shown at the top of Fig. L Having
done so, pass the free end of the
strap down through the other slash
and one end of the puzzle is finished.
Then pass the free end of the strap

During the hot summer days the
Filipinos go out into tlio lit ids with
big nets to catch their winter's supply
of candy, for it Is alive when they
first get it. During the summer
months great swarms of giant grass-
hoppers light down upon the fields
in suet) clouds us to shut out the sun.
Then there is a great stir, for these
grasshoppers must be killed. They
not only destroy the crops, but they
aro thought very good to eat, and so
there, is a double reason for a war on
them. Boys watch in the church tow-
ers, jnd when they see a swarm com-
ing '£end out an alarm.
Tho natives rush to the spot with
bags anil nets and begin their work.
The grasshoppers are knocked down
with paddles, stunned with gunpow-
der explosions—any way to kill them
in large numbers—and are left to dry.
and they aro then shipped to the
cities, where they are worth ft a
bushel. People eat them In the streets
and at entertainments as we eat pea-
nuts. and like them just as wolf as
we rlo the sweet "goober nuts.”
They are baked with sugar and
eaten as candy; housewives make
pies of them, with big ones around
(be top crust; bakers bake them in
calces as wo do raisins, and boys
think a pocketful of them sprinkled
with ; ugar a great treat.
An Easy One.
Pitt three candies, peanuts, or any
small article that is eatable, each
under a hat, and then show your au
dicnce that you have nothing hidden
in your hands or about your person.
Next have one in the audience, it
he wishes, mark the articles in order
to identify them.
Then lift the hat from each one and
slowly cat the article that is under
each, and then tell the audience that
you will bring the three articles under
any hat they may select.
How- is it done? Simply bj^placing
the hat selected on your head.
Some Dolls.
Most dolls are born in Thuringia,
a province of Germany. Thuringia i?
sometimes called puppetJand on thb
account. Almost the entire population
is employed making some parts of the
dolls which are sent to every coun-
try in the world except. India. The
little Hindus areisaid to bo the only
doll-less children in the world, ail
countries having something which the
little girls can rock to sleep and love.
That the American girls love dolls;
orto has only to read that last year
over $8,000,000 worth of dollies came
into this country, and nearly all oi
them from Thuringia.

SNAP SHOTS IS A LIVELY GAME,
A Clever Shot in a Game of Snap Shot3.
Here is a new game that requires
almost no preparation which is great
fun and which demands a lot of skill
to bring victory to a player. It i3
a fine game for girls, for there is no
jumping about, and a girl can play-
's while wearing her very irettie’st
/ arty frock without the slightest dan-
ger of mussing it.
Two players only arc required.
They sit at opposite sides of a table,
and any sized table tfflf’m........Before
each girl is a iitlle plate or saucer.
Each girl haa a large bone but*pn
in the place of a pfng-pong bat and (A
smaller button is used in the place
of a hall. One player starts the game
by pressing with her large button on
t{ie edge of the small button, causing
it to snap across the table very much
as in the old game of tiddle-de-wlnks.
She tries to make the button land In
the other girl’s saucer. ^Vhetr the but-
ton has landed and has stopped roll-
ing the ,other pltfyer lias a turn. She
snaps it hack and tries to make It
land on her opponent’s saucer. If a
player snaps the button off the table
her opponent scores two points. If
the button does not go more than half
way across the table her opponent
scores two points. If tho button
comes to a rest against the saucer the
girl making the shot scores five
points; if tho, button should land in
• hs/ Saucer attd slip out again she
scores seven points. A lucky -hot
causing tho button to remain in the
saucer scores ten points for the player
making it. Twenty-five points Is a
game. The players take turns snap-
ping the button. Grown people as
well as youngsters find lots of fun
in this game, which is a model even-
ing pastime.
