• Woman's Section of the Paper Olive Green Cloth Suit This handsome tailored suit Is matte of English cloth in a pretty shade of olive green. The skirt is a tionneed iirrangetnent. and the coat is a rather com- plicated empire model, for it is built with a peplum to which a tieuuce is at- tached. The collar and cuffs are of taupe velvet. COLLARETS OF FUR. Parisiennes Wearing Them Combined KITCHEN CHAT. With Lace and Velvet. Smart Parisiennes are wearing col - tares of fur combined with lace or velvet. These are wonderfully pretty ind add just the correct touch to gown or coat suit. Short strips of fur, just long enough to encircle the throat and too small to use for any other purpose, are lined with white satin. Plaited frills of lace are then stitch- ed by band on both the top and bot- tom of the fur band. Strips of fur one or two inches in width cam be used effectively to bor- der a center strip of velvet or fur. A lovely combination is ermine and sapphire blue velvet. Stitch the nar- row strips of white fur to the band of velvet and border it with knife plait- ed frills of velvet or tulle. Use white' satin to line the collaret and finish the closing with a flat bow of velvet. Perhaps you have a strip of mink three inches in width. If so stitch it to a band of seal brown satin. Make two plaited frills of the satin and stitch them to the top and bottom of the collar portion. When the hooks and eyes have been attached to the ends finish the closing with a plaited bow of satin caught through the cen- ter with a buckle of pearl, cut steel or jet. Many women possess a worn set of furs which can be cut into strips and utilized in this manner. Small hats with puffed crowns of velvet and nar- row brims of fur are lovely when fashioned to match the collarets. To Clean Felt Hats. When the felt hat is soiled it may 1,t , cleaned by dipping a hard brush into spirits of ammonia and scrubbing the hat until it is clean. The brush usol should have short bristles. 44-44 , l'ut a few grains of riiie in the salt shaker to prevent the salt from clog- ging in damp weather. After washing dishes in which fish or onions have been cooked place in a warm oven for ten or fifteen minutes to remove the odor. To prevent fat spluttering when fry- ing eggs, legatees a ml the like sift a little flour in the fat before dropping the things into the pan. Before putting the covers on the jelly tumblers cut white paper to tit just in- side the tinnblers. dip in alcohol or brandy and place direetly on the jelly. No mold will form if this is done. Winter House Plants. Succulent plants, such as American aloes and small cactus. look nearly as well in winter as in summer. while all arenas are hardy and thrive well in- doors in the winter, especially if grown in the open aid during the summer. Ivy will grow profusely / almost any and for table decoration deli- cate trails of the small veriety cannot well be improved upon., Belts.

If the fig- ure is both slield and abnormally long waisted the belt may be three inches broad. Use For Old Coffeepot. Melt paraflin in an old roffeepot.

These hints may be of assistaum to them. The blouse must not be wrung by hand, but be put through a wringer and then pressed, while still damp, on the wrong side. A hot iron must never be employed. Dissolve a piece of gum arable the size of a pea In one pint of boiling wa- ter and dip the blouse in this. Iron it with a piece of muslin between the iron and the lace, and finally pull out the points and edges of the lace. Flannel blouses should be wa . slied in Warm water, neither too hot DOC too cold. A little ammonia may be added; but, above all, the washing must be accomplished quickly. The last rinsing, like the first washing water, should be warm. Before a lace blouse is washed It should be soaked at least an hour in soapy water with a teaspoonful of borax added to it. Then remove the blouse and wash it very gently in a lather of soap and hot water. Rinse It thoroughly In clean waters. A silk blouse should never be put into boiling water, for It gives the silk a yellow tinge and impoverishes the material. It should be dipped into a strong lather of tepid water and be squeezed in it. On no account let it be rubbed, nor should the silk be soaped. Several rinsing waters must be used, for if the soap is not quite washed out the silk will harden. In the last rins- ing water of all put a little methylated spirit, and the silk is white a few drops of pale blue may be added. Silk blouses must be ironed while they are damp, but if ironed when too wet will turn yellow. Peanut Sandwiches. There are several ways for using peanuts for sandwiches. They may be simply pounded or chopped fine, well sprinkled with salt, moistened with a few drops of olive oil and spread thick- ly between slices of buttered bread, or they may be powderol find stirred in tanyonnaise for the filling, mixed with erilini cheese, and spread between cra('liers or slices 4of thin buttered bread. Another way: Al'ith a biscuit cutter cut slices of bread round, cover with whipped cream (not sweetened). mash some peanuts fine and sprinkle thickly over the cream. Nice for after- noon luncheons. Purifying Air in a Sickroom. There is no greater purifier of air than open windows, hut sometimes hi sickrooms this method of changing the air is impossible. liar, you ever tried overcoming closeness by carrying a rolled burning newspaper through a sickroom? Equal- ly good is a tablespoonful of vinegar Ignited over an alcohol lamp. \FIRE WATER FOR INDIANS. How This Term Came to Bo Applied to Whisky. When the Hudson Bay Trading com- pany began its trading among the In- diana it was found that by selling the Indians liquor they could more easily be induced to trade their peitries. The first whisky or intoxicant of in- ferior quality was distilled in England and brought to America in large barrels, but in transporting it overland it was found more convenient to di- vide it into small kegs. The traders soon became aware of the fact that by diluting the whisky with water more furs could be obtained. This was practived for some time, but the In- dians learned that good whisky poured on a tire would cause it to flame up. but had the whisky been diluted the fire would be quenched. It was by this simple experiment that the term \tire water\ became a common word among Indians. A chief who had experienced the bad effects of whisky among hie people said it was certainly distilled from the heart of wildcats and the tongues of women from the effects it produced. ANIMAL ODDITIES. Birds never eat flreties and really seem to shun their vicinity. North American reindeer usually se- lect an old doe for their leader. The temperature of a swallow's body is extraordinarily high, no less than 112 degrees F. Cats and beasts of prey reflect fifty times as much light from their eyes as human beings. The average lake trout lays 6.000 eggs each season and the whitefish a greater number. The female English viper does not lay eggs. She hatches them internally and brings forth her young alive. I'arrots are usually vegetarians, though the Kea parrots of New Zen - bind have developed a fondness for sheep. Garfish, sunfish, baskIne sharks and dolphins all have the habit of :swim- ming with their eyes above the sur- face of the water.

The tops of the hills were still covered, end no tinkle came from the frozen creeks. . Tom Mowbray, ascending to the top of Old Pine Knob, after a coast of nearly half a wile on his stout sleigh, looked on a fairy world. The ever- greens were loaded with snow and bearded with hoarfrost, the dark green boughs standing out between like won- drous carvings in frames of purest white. The air was like honey and diamonds. Everything glittered blind- ingly beneath the sun, which shone. brilliant and hard, from a cloudless sky. Panting, Mowbray paused a moment on the top of Old Pine before dropping upon the sled for another dash down the road, a creamy ribbon between smooth white hills. It was a goodly stretch of country he surveyed. On the right of the road and halfway to the foot of the hill stood Ills own home. From the kitchen chimney a column of smoke, untroubled by vagrant wind, rose straight in the air. A few rods beyond the house the railroad track crossed the road.

Every One in Company Chooses im- aginary Musical Instrument. Every one in the company chooses an imaginary musical instrument. One may be a violin, another a piano, a harp, and the like. 'rhe leader of the band also chooses one, say the flute, lie begins to play the imaginary instru- ment, running his fingers up and down it and tooting away in representation of the real instrument. As soon as he begins the other players must follow suit. The piano player begine to strum 3111 imaginary piano, the violin player' to wIeld his bow, and so on.

From al brisk trot his guilt insensibly slackened to is shuttle. When the slope of Oldi Pine began he subsided to a walk. He' gave one or two backward glances in response to urging from Miss Boone's red lips. When the cutter stood square- ly on the railroad track he glanced sad- ly at the towering hill and stopped. The girl clucked impatiently and! jerked at tile reins. Duka planted hist legs hninovebly and laid back an ear, Miss Boone laid the whip across the horse's broad back apologetically, with, no result. Then, the gray eyes flashing, and the lips crossed together until the\. were a mere scarlet line, she struck right heartily. Duke never budged. Mowbray, unobserved by the girl, stood on the hilltop and enjoyed the af- fair immensely. \She's got grit, all right,\ he observed to his sled. \At first she thought the old boy was tired.

In his agony and horror alowbray gripped the sled until his muscles creaked. That gave him au Idea—the sled, the sled! The train had not gone its length so rapidly did these thoughts flash through the young man's mind. liaising the coaster, he took two or three quick steps and flung himself face downward upon it. The flexible runners creaked and sprang. The wind whistled weird tunes Iii Mowbray's ears. At the back of his brain something prayed that he might lie in time, but all his faculties were intent on keeping the sleigh upright. Once for a second—nay, an eternity—it rose oil a single runner. Again as they followed a sharp 'angle it stowed the width or the road. But Providence rode with Mowbray that morning, and catastrophe could only threaten. Twenty feet from tile cutter he jerk- ed the head of the coaster suddenly in- to a snow bank. Ins own momentum carried Tom straight ahead. Rolling like a frightened caterpillar, he crashed Into the cutter. Something snapped, and a horrid pain stabbed him, hut be scrambled blindly to his feet.
