NEW INDOOR FROCKS .ALMOST ANY NUMBER OF GRADES TO SELECT FROM. Whilo There ls a Suggestion of the Bustle, the Majority of Gowns Are of Round Length-Some of the Simplest. ' Although the street suit ls generally the first fall purchase, the womeu who dress tastefully and correctly in the house ulso look for indoor frocks at this time. There are grades la the new house ?rocks as in everything else. Some are too magnificent almost to be looked at. as well as a shade too eccentric with their varied loopings or distinct paniers to seem suitable for any but the idle rich. But out of the hurly-burly of suggested bustles -some of the rear loopngs of the skirts are more than a mere hint of the old turnure-the pointed trains, exaggerated tight sleeves and inor dinately high and tight collars, there are features which all the world may copy to advantage. For example, the majority of the dainty gowns are of round length, and even if some loop ing of the skirt seems to be needed for the look of style every species of drapery is capable of much simplifica tion. One New York shoji which devotes itself entirely to indoor gowns re fuses to entertain the elaborate house Btyles, showing little costumes of a sort any woman might wear or copy for use in a modest home. Silk and wool fabrics in all of the new whites are made up in one-piece style, the bodice treated to rolling polo collars and cuffs in color or black, and the belt of the same. The sides of the skirts show the panier influence, some of the side breadths being gathered to bulge out, or the garment display ing a definite tunic, parted at the middle front and drawn back in two skimp puffs, ending in a little flattish bunching at the back. Other skirt3 display the separate tunic with the looping very low at the sides, these falling sometimes over plain skimp skirts of the same silk that trims the collars and cuffs. These demure and yet coquettish frocks suggested the needs of the business woman who wishes to make a nice appearance at the boarding house dinner and be dressed for evening collars. In the shops-where busy women of medium means must always buy both practical and fine clothes-the simple frock for afternoon and even ing wear seems very closely related in style and material to the skimp and dainty things one has seen all sum mer. With sleeves set In or cut with the bodice kimono fashion, high waist line, plain scant skirt and low col lars and roll-back cuffs or fiat sleeve bands, these dresses sell in autumn challies, silk trimmed, from $8 up, and in silk with appropriate deckings from $10 up. Here and there one is capable of the most clever changes, the addition of a chiffon peplum jump er or a fancy sash arrangement turn ing the plain thing at once into some thing of the utmost elegance. In unmade materials suitable for simple and smart house frocks there are many bargains, from the very fact that so many summer textures can be used. Silk ls always useful for the dressy house frock, as it is correct for both day and evening, whereas the most charming coallie ?teems only correct for day wear. A woman is sometimes fugitive, ir rational, indeterminable, Illogical and contradictory. A great deal of for bearance ought to be shown her. Henri Froderlc AmieL HEARTS THAT BREAK BY GENE W ARD. Hazel Manners was a very popular school teacher in working hours and a heartless coquette at her leisure. K'sr personality was magnet-like. It was not only that Hazel was pretty that men were attracted to her. Her indifference to their lovemaking and her daring in conduct had much to do with her vogue. Withal. Hazel was designing. ^Tc her men were mere instruments tc carry out her will, to arrange her pleasures. And she used them freely arid recklessly. She was not dis creet. She made little effort to con ceal her motives. Her suitors were constantly changing. They paid gal lant court to her at first, but they did not remain long. But Hazel only laughed and tossed her blonde head smartly, "The world is full of men! What care I!" When Ellis Wingate laid siege tc Hazel's heart, lt was saio that he gave his soul to her. Ha was har slave. No cut was unkind enough to lessen his devotion. He bore his cross bravely, and Hazel wac pleased. Here was one with whom she could "show off" her power. Here was one who would always be at her serv ice. Here was one upon whom sho. could depend In any crisis. Her friends said that she "would break his heart." Never would he recover from her cruelty, they declared. Some went so far as to say that he might be a suicide when she finally discard ed him. "Why in the world do you hang about me?" Hazel asked in con temptuous tone one day before a group of admirers. "Can't you see I that you annoy me?" "Yes. I see that," replied the faith ful Ellis, "but I love you." J Hazel laughed as if it were a joke. "I want you to stay away from here until I send for you." "Very well." answered Ellis, and went away. F~oin that day on. the tide in Hazel's fortune began to ebb. She was losing her control over her pupils. They did not regard her with the same respect and love. There were difficulties with the school board. Rumors were afloat that she was seen too much with gay com panions. One evening when Hazel was mo toring very late with a merry party along a lonely road ot high speed, something unfortunate happened. Their automobile collided with an other automobile, and a prominent man was killed. They tried to sup press the story, but were unsuccess ful. All the details were headlined in the newspapers. Hazel was asked to resign from the teaching staff of the ! school. She turned to her men friends to extricate her from the blight of the unsavory publicity. One by one, she asked for advice and help. But none was interested. * None was ready to help her In her extremity. Hazel in tears was quite another girl from Hazel in a coquette's mood. She thought of Ellis Wingate. "Ah. why didn't I go to Ellis be fore! He ls the one to help me!" Then Hazel began to think. Ellis Wingate took on a new light in her eyes. She was cured of flirting. She had had enough of gay companions. She was afraid of the future that stretched so m^nacinely before her. She needed a strong man's arm to lean upon. What arm was there so strong as Ellis Wingate's? Was he not a splendid type of man? Would he not make an excellent husband? Would he not shield her from the voice of scandal? And she liked him. She had always liked him. Now that she was tired of trifling, she was ready to-love him. Yes. to-love him! She telephoned to him. The an swer came that he had moved. Where? He did not leave a forward ing address. Hazel was surprised Ellis Wingate had lived in the same room for ten years-ever since she had known him. It wusn't like him to change-not even in the matter of residence. She telephoned his busi ness address the next morning. "Mr. Wingate Is out of town for a few days. Will you leave a number?" Here, indeed, was a changed Ellis! Several days passed, but Ellis Win gate did not answer her summons. Haze! cried. She did not sleep at night. Money matters were crowd ing her. She must have help. In des peration, she called Ellis Wingate again. "Is this you. Eliis?" "Yes." "This is I-Hazel." "Yes." "Why-don't - you - re-remember -Ellis?" *T remember perfectly. Hazel." "Ellis-dear-I-?-wan-want you to-to-come to-see-me. I ne-need you." "I'm sorry. Perhaps you didn't know that I have just returned from ray honeymoon, and-" But the telephone receiver had fal len from Hazel's quivering hand. And no friend was near to mend the break in her heart. Quit Bragging. "! thought Brown said he was get ting $10,000 a year." "So he did." "But I hear him say today that he ls getting only $3,500." "Yes. He's just discovered that there's going to be a tax on Incomes, and he's telling what he really gets." POULTRY RELISH SKIM MILK One of Very Best of Foods for Grow ing Chicks, Keeping Digestion in Good Order. (By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.) Very few people understand the value of skim milk as a food for poul try. They reli3h it and it ia very good for them, either sweet or sour or but termilk, if it is not too cold. Milk takes the place of meat scraps to a certain extent In fact, the feed ing of meat can be put down one fourth when the fowls have all the skim milk they can dr?:il<, and the re sults obtained will be the same. Milk is fine to feed laying hens and will materially increase the egg yield. It is one of the very best of foods? for the growing chick3, keeping their digestion in good order and hastening their growth, as it contains the ele ments necessary for their develop ment. Where milk ls fed regularly and a teaspoonful each of ginger and soda added to each gallon every third or fourth day, there will be no cholera Dr other bowel troubles. Stir the mix ture until thoroughly dissolved before feeding. This is very easily prepared and will keep their digestive organs toned and sweetened. When fattening fowls, skim milk should be used to mis the mash. They like lt better and in this way are in duced to eat just as much more, as the milk while serving as moisture to wet the mash is also a hearty food. The food for young ducks should be mixed with milk and curds mado from sour milk are indispenslble for young turkeys. Remember that milk will not take the place of water, as it so soon turns to solid food in the crop. Keep water before the chickens the same as ever, no matter how much milk they may have. On every farm chere is more or less milk for feeding and it will pay to see that the chickens get their share of it. SPROUTED GRAIN FOR FOWLS Green Food May Also Be Supplied in Form of Any Surplus Supply of Vegetables on Hand. Where lt is possible a winter crop should be planted to furnish green food for the fowls. It does not take a large area to furnish green food for the fowls, and usually plenty of space* may be found for this purpose. But where one has only a city lot, and a green crop is out of the question, ar rangements should be made to sprout oats, rye, wheat or barley. If no other space is avaitable a box of soil will suffice. The box may be filled with rich garden loam if the seeds are to remain long enough for the plants to grow. If the grain is to be fed as soon as the seed sprouts a box of sand ls sufficient. The box may be set In a cellar or in the kitchen uear the stove in very cold weather. Green food may also be supplied in the form of any surplus vegetables that you may happen to have on hand. The best plan for feeding them is to place a uail in the houses on the wall just high enough so that the hens will be compelled to jump a little to reach lt. Then take a beet or any other veg etables that you desire to feed and stick them on the nails. It is a handy little arrangement, and compels the fowls to exercise for their food. PREVENT CROWDING ROOSTS Difficulty Encountered Where Many Birds Are Kept Together Is Handily Eliminated. When a great many chicksns are roosting together the tendency is to crowd until a part of the fowls are pushed off the roosts. Roosts made as Illustrated will guard against this trou ble, says a writer in the Missouri Val Pegs Stop Trouble, ley Farmer. Bore holes ia roosts about three feet apart and drive in up right pieces 12 inches high and about the size of a broom handle. It is well to have a dropping board be ueath. "Fresh Ego" Defined. An egg to belong to the strictly fresh egg class, should not be over 3 days old in summer weather, and a week old during the winter. But in either caBe they must be kept in a cool temperature. Heat very quickly stales eggs. Crates of eggs allowed to remain in tho hot sun for several hours will quickly change their con dition. Turkeys for Market. The hen turkeys sell first, and me dium-sized carcasses sell best In mar ket The market turkey should be shorter in legB and neck than is ordi narily the case, and very full in the breast, with a compact body, meaty and fat, rather than of a large siae and coarse structure.
