That is one of the rules of | good buying,. but few women really | have the courage to stand on thelr | own and to demand of themselves that | they follow the rule to the letter. The One-Piece Dresses. There Is still a variety of straight, one-plece dresses which will continue in favor. This type of frock is not made so long as the fuller, flouncler ones. It is longer, of courss, than those which have heen nearer the knees than the ankles, but it does not Long, Slim Lines of Mauve Chiffon Draped Over Silver Cloth. begin to touch those ankles. It is, In fact, about nine inches off the ground, a very good length for a skirt which is quite straight and does not boast the slightest drapery. Another variety of simple frock is a compromise between the slim chemise dress and the extremely full ome. It has a slight drapery on one side, which sort of pulls the skirt into the air at that one point and relieves the too great continuity of the long. A great many women will like this sort of frock as their first venture into the field of the new silhouette. It will help them to get used to the new idea gradually, with out any sudden upset to thelr fashion feelings. Some women are too busy and teo occudied and too far removed | | | | fabrics. The velvet brocades are par- ticularly fascinating. The color of a | thick, soft, velvet pattern against the frallness and thinness of a chiffon background creates an Interesting quality 'fer that material chich any other finds difficult to equa. One of the longer, fuller dresses Is of taffeta with a skirt that does everything In the way of carry- Ing out the character of the thing it sets out to do. It has, too, many of the newer points which are going to make the evening frocks of this sea- son. There are the little ribbon roses all strung along the quaint, narrow panels of the taffeta skirt. There is the long and fitted bodice and there is the broad and filmy fichu which stretches across the shoulders in the most effective way. There is, also, that little ring of ribbon roses Just at the, front of the waistline where the bodice and skirt aré joined together, and two little bunches of the same flowers to hold the fichu in place on the tips of the shoulders. The fact is that all of the points of this gown are perfectly tn har mony with the season's demands and detalls. They are combined In such a manner that the dress becomes one symphony of line to be worn wher ever the occasion demands' that for mal gowns shall be worn. It. is an excellent thing for a dancing dress, as there Is no question about the man- agement of the skirt. It takes care of Itself as it flutters its long and grace ful way about the floor. Another evening dress Is quite the opposite type though just as smart in {ts'own way. They are really meant for two different types of women, one for the graceful and drooping type and the other for the more girlish face and thé rounder fizure. : : 4 " Lengthens the Lines. The dress Is particularly good for the large woman who may need some- thing to lengthen out her lines. It hax first of all, a fitted underdress of metal. cloth, silver in this instance, "then there has been draped over that foundation a fullness of chiffon which has the effect that the more bazam woman Is eternally looking for. It is! very well $o talk about those with ne tle girlish figures who wear the puffy] clothes and about the character and charm of them, but there are many of us who cannot attempt to go In for anything so extreme. But this frock of which we are speaking has all of the 'lines which sre most softening and which help to swing the figure into the contour of the modern modé The girdle is low and wide and there are drapings of the chiffon falling from the sides.. But the bodice is plain' and held loosely over a more tightly fitting underbodice. By this means, then, the lines are subdued and the dress is given that much-to be-desired slender appearance. Then there is a rose at the belt, which with vening home to you a new relish in prunes. » The moisture-laden mists that come down on the Pacific Northwest in winter; the warm, nurturing sunshine of spring, summer and early fall-- these explain the'uncommon quality and flavor of Mistland Prunes. When fully ripened they are shaken from the trees, gathered, and dried in our spick-and-span dehydrating plants. Their natural tart-sweetness is intensified in the drying process, And it is this unusual tart-sweet flavor that makes Mist- land Prunes doubly delicious--in pies, in compotes, with cereals, for desserts and in countless other ways, There is only one way to get these tender, luscious, full-meated prunes from the mist-kist orchards of Oregon and Washington--and that is to say '"Mistland" to your grocer, He'll know! get so much value for your --A aN \ of the Pacific Northwest Kist by the mist and caressed by sunshine--these fine, full-grown prunes bring OrEGON GROWERS .

"How about that birds' nest soup that you were going to tell me about, Uncle?" sald Teddy. "I do not think that it would be very nice." "Well, Teddy, it is lucky that tastes differ. Some people are very fond of it, and it is great stuff for invalids. The birds that make the nests are often spoken of as.swal- lows, but they are swifts as a matter of fact. Their swell name is "Col- localia nidifica,'"" which. is enough to overbalance them, but it only means that they are nest-building ewifts, I was on an ostate in the Haputale dis- trict one time, &nd a number of these swifts used fo bufld their queer nests in a 'hollow in a big precipice. One could see thd sea about fifty miles away on a clear day, and the white line of breakers. The birds are supposed to build their nests from mucous from the large salivary] glands, but from watching these birds carefully, we came to the con- clusion that they gathered some sort of seaweed, partly digested it, and then used it for the nest. We used to joke @bout it, and as the assistants were often told to mark "half-day" stithe' binds unless \ they did mors tha two trips to the sea in the nidfning' coolies only get a half- (day marked instead of a full-day if they are Tazy, and that is the reason ~the joke about the birds, The "birds covered hundreds of miles. The bluntly triangular in shape. They are semi-transparent, fibrous sort of textiire, with the fibres crossed and interlaced. Swifts lay two pure white eggs. 1 have heard of these swifts building in caves on a' mountain call- ed Hoonoomoaoloocota, near'a place by name Hawissay, which is said '0 be about thirty miles from the sea. You see they seem always to meet within sight of the sea. They glide down from the mountains at terrific speed and thirty miles is nothing to them. How the Soup 1s Made. its stiver sheen is in direct contras' to the mauve of the chiffon with | which the silver underdress is drooed nests are of a bluish-white eojor and | "I am no Chinese cook, Teddy, and tha secret of what is done with the nests in the first stage must remain A mystery until you con get some Chinaman to tell you, You can buy solid bird-nest soup, however, in Chinese shops in Singapore. What I got looked 1 a.slab of pure gela- tine. My coo and added to it-chicken broth, which was flavored with cinnamon, The birds' nest jelly, as I recetved it from time to time from a friend in Singa- pore, certainly looked very nice. I' had to rub my eyes to convince my- self that it was not full of feathers and sticks: I expec: the nests are boiled and all impurities skimmed off. The Sinhalese call the ewifts "Wahlagna," but they do not take much ifterest in them. The Chinese collect the nests and make quite an income out of them." "I stil. do not fancy birds' nes soup, Uncle," said Teddy, "but I be- Heve I would try it just to say I had Lad some. I am going to try every- thing once at any rate." "Not if you are coming with me, Teddy. We are going to Papua, re- member, and you are lable to be of- fered a stew of human flesh." "Ugh'--I don't want any luxuries ilke "hat," sald Teddy. cut it up into pleces: Killed in Lumber Camp, Belleville, Dec. 5.--Oscar Keitel of this city swas killed in a lumber camp near Bancroft, according to a message which has been received here by his wife.
