Name Adddress the Household satin and velvet boots are to be fashionable fashionable for afternoon wear. to be of ^ tde Skirts the New Vogue. It remains to be seen whether or not women are to be satisfied with the fall asnions in suits and evening gowns. Une thing is assured--skirts are to be wide and comfortable and are to be worn somewhat longer than they have been all summer. The trottoir will reach the high boots which are to be all the rage this fall, while the evening gowns and ^dinner frocks will escape the floor by two or two and a half inches. The prettiest skirts are fashioned in French serge, taffeta, charmeuse, net and all other soft materials that draped readily. Groult, one of the leading French houses, has created some new ideas i are charming for skirts that are really and chic. In these he has incorporated incorporated the wide skirt, the short skirt and the draped skirt in one. One of his loveliest models is a black charmeuse. The soft, shimmering material is di aped in soft folds in front and in back. It is full and baggy at the sides giving the suggestion of Turkish trousers. It behooves the feminine mind meditate upon the material to chosen for the van guard tailleur the autumn season. Checks and plaids will be exploited by the fabric makers. There is a most enticing, new weave, which comes in dark red and green Scotch plaid. It it a heavy blanket or English cloth with camel's hair- finish. For long coats it will be found exceptionally good, as the wildest dissipations of autumn storms and descending snows cannot injure its splendid stability. In velours de laines there are stripes and checks, one wonderfully soft and beautiful being a combination combination showing up in blue striped with chartreuse. It is predicted that gray velour, trimmed with pipings of white velvet, will be good and that some of the very exclusive models are of bat tleship gray and navy blue. All shades of purple and mauve will be "voguey." . F ollowing the - Seasonable Dishes. Peach ^ Salad.--Scald and peel large, ripe fruit.

For Mothers. _ • Tea is poison to a baby. • No meat should be given to a child under four years of age. Pieces of raw potatoes clean an infant's infant's feeding-bottle better than anything anything else. An insect in the ear may be floated out by putting in a few drops of warm olive-oil. No child should sleep on the floor, as all heavy, impure air sinks to the floor level. Feeding-bottles with long tubes , are so dangerous that in France they may not be sold or used. ' Children should not be hotter than adults---the temperature should be from 98.6 to 99 degrees. Swedish mothers put money into their child's first bath, believing that this brings future wealth. Mothers in Greece^ before putting their children in the cradle, turn round three times. This is z to ward off evil spirits.

The style of skirt is especially attractive attractive when made into one-piece dresses of serge, gabardine and other soft, woolen materials. With this style frock the skirt is made close fitting by means of fine plaits or soft shirring over the hips. It falls in full flare about the knee. The dinner dresses and evening frocks cling to the idea of full skirts. Many are draped in wide plaits fuller m the back than in fropt. Others are arranged into flounces, so cut as to give the suggestion of -wide plaits. The full skirt looks fuller than it really is because of the long, narrow sleeves with, which they are worn.

Valuables Escaped Teutons Now Instructed to Be Careful of Pens and Paper. A series of orders have just been issued by the Berlin municipality to its employees 'regarding the necessity of economy in writing materials. Beginning with writing paper, the order says': "The instruction already given that in petty cash notes and suchlike communications which can be put up in single page only half-sheets of paper are to be used is still often disregarded. The cases, however, in which a half, or even a quarter sheet of paper will suffice can be considerably considerably increased, for example, notices of meetings. Of course, for taking notes, making calculations, and so on, only scraps of paper are to be used."

Germany is to blame because because she had stretched and used her power to its utmost, because in 4 years it had increased in population from 40 to 68 millions. The war was, therefore, a biological necessity. The war says the professor, has become become a battle of ideas, caused by varying conceptions of human development development and^f human freedom.
