IN PLAIDS OR CHECKS
MATERIALS POPULAR FOR YOUNG
GIRL'S AUTUMN CLOTHE 3.
Designs Are as Pretty as Ever, and
In the Fullest Vogue—The Sootch
Fabrics Are Also Strict
ly Correct.
When in doubt as to missy's au
tumn hat. coat or dress get something
with a touch of plaid or check, for
materials with these patterns are
again eminently in vogue for young
people and they seem quite as pretty
as ever.
To quote the dressmakers for the
junior world, one can never get away
from the suitability of such mate
rials to youth—the Scotch fabrics
with their varied melange of color
»nd checks, big and little, seem so
Juvenile and correct for young peo
ple's wear. So here they are again
with us, holding a breath of new color
swmetimes, showing the familiar de
vices of the Scotch clans, in dress
Bilks and wools, in coats, hair rib
biftis and buttons. The pretty de
signs are a great relief from the
pfcsin materials that have reigned so
long—hut, dear me, except for a light
lifference of detail, some of the long
3oats showing the plaid or check
reverse and decking are all but twin
sisters to last year's wraps. This
takes nothing away from their charm,
the deft changes here and there giv
ing the last-agony touch in a way
sufficiently piquant to suit the most
ardent devotee of new fashions.
At this season the long coat need
sd for school use, and which will, of
course, come in for many other ac
:?asions, is of more importance to the
:ollege maid or high school girl than
anything else —anything but her hat,
for without a suitable headpiece the
most charming coat could not be
worn, coats and hats of a kind need
ing to run together. The shops are
full of correct fabrics for it, the soft
reversible coatings, plain on one side
and plaid on the other, used last year
and still with us, offering themselves
as the most facile textures in the
world for home sewing for nil the
trimmings of the coat are made of
the reverse side of the material.
Of the plaid touch on little girl
frocks, those short-skirted gowns
maids from six to eight wear, there
s no end, but somehow checks seem
a bit more suitable for these than
the larger plaids, and many of the
Uussian blouse styles lend themselves
most effectively to a combination of
shecked and plain material.
The design shown in the illustra
tion allows this use of the two mate
rials in a very smart way, the coat
being of a plain blue wool and the
little skirt and blouse trimming of
shecked blue and white wool. Here
the collar is a flat round affair, but
112 made in sailor form a shield with a
nigh neckband could be used inside,
and this arrangement might be bet
ter for the lassies with tender
throats. Serge, broadcloth and
cheviot; are other adaptable mate
rials, for, to be sure, the dress could
be made of one fabric, and the Btyla
of it is good enough for the very
best street suit.
For girls of all ages—and for wom
en, too, for that matter—there are
some perfectly round felt hats with
rolling brims which respond very
prettily to a binding and crown pip
ing of plaid silk, or if the hat la al
ready bound and banded a Scotch
quill may be added to the side.
So If there are bits of handsome
plaid and checked fabrics in the
house they will come in very handy
for the trimming of youthful hats, for
the very wings thfeinselves may bo
made of silk or velvet, and when of
a fabric they always seem smarter
than when the real thing.

TYRANNY OF HER
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
"If you'll promise not to tell a soul,
Charlotte," said Mrs. Darlington to lier
hostess, "I'll udmlt that I'm suffering
from an overdose of daughter-in-law.
A certain amount Is a mental stimulus
—too much simply stultifies.
"Frances, my son Arthur's wife, '
came to visit me just at the time all
well regulate housekeepers think they
have togo through the deadening
process known as housecleaning," slio
went on. "Now, don't breathe it to
a soul, but I never clean house. I cer
tainly try to keep things nice and
comfortable, but my natural Instinct!
Is to avoid dirt. My attitude Is that
if it will leave me alone I will leave
it alone.
"Who minds a little dust under the
beds and In the closets? I will answer
my own conundrum by telling you that
Frances does. She is perfectly intol
erant about it. She is constantly talk
ing about germs and microbes. Since
I am confessing all my shortcomings.
I will admit that I don't believe in mi
crobes, anyway. They're far too small.
Frances does, though. Oh, dear, yes,
she does.
"She simply can't sit down and read
happily unless the house has been
thoroughly swept and garnished. I can
do it without a tremor. I can leave
dishes unwashed until every dish in
the house has been used and not feel a
qualm. Frances has the dishes round
ed up and washed so quickly after
they have been used that she leaves
you with a defrauded feeling, as
though you had been done out of part
of your meal.
"The morning after she came I saw
her eying the living room curtains,
which I must confess were not im
maculate.
" 'Don't look at those curtains,
Frances,' I said, in my merry, light
hearted way. '1 know they're not very
clean, but I'm going to have the
laundress wash and iron them Mon
day.'
"Frances half opened her mouth,
then shut It again. I wondered at the
time why she didn't say whatever it
i was she had on her mind, but later in
the day I found out.
" 'Mother,' she said, tactfully—
Francis is very tactful—that afternoon
j when we were sitting in the living
| room having what I considered a cozy
i little chat, 'l've been wondering if It
! wouldn't be nicer if we should get
j some curtain stretchers and stretch
j the curtains on them instead of hav
i ing the laundress wash and iron them.'
"To make a long story short, she
dragged me downtown that very after
noon and we bought curtain stretch
ers. The next morning, with her own
| hands, she washed those curtains. Oh,
| there is no doubt that she is wonder
i ful. I stand in the greatest awe of
I any one who can wash things clean. I
| never could. They're always much
worse when I finish with them than
I when I began.
"After the curtains were arranged
! to suit her I happened to mention that
| I had some material which 1 intended
ito make Into comforters when the
j spirit moved me. Again speaking
j metaphorically, she fell upon that ma
| terial tooth and nail. Then for days
j she and I struggled and perspired j
| amid billows of cotton.
"When one morning she accidental-;
ly opened the door of the chamber of
| horrors I thought she was going to
j faint. The chamber of horrors, by the
j way, is the room Into which it is the j
time honored custom of the family |
| to pitch everything that the family
j wishes to rid itself of. Personally, I
j get along very nicely by simply shut
j ting my eyes, opening the door slight
-Ily and shying In the article. Then
j after the door is shut I have no fur
j ther qualms. But Frances got quite
j white when she looked in. She made
me feel —she did it tactfully—that no
j decent, self-respecting woman could
! exist in a house with a chamber of
horrors. So together we pulled and
hauled and worked and suffered and
threw things away and had a perfect
ly horrible time generally, but we fine
ly emerged in that pathetic and
despicable condition called "as neat a3
a pin.'
"It took us days to do it and we
were both nearly dead when we got
through. But the very next morning
after we finished, if you can believe
me, I found her with her head out of
the window and the air of a hound
that is just getting the scent. She was
listening to a vacuum cleaner that
was chugging across the street!
"'Oh, mother,' she said, 'l'm going
out to see If those men can't come to
morrow.'
"Frances," I said, 'you will do noth
ing of the kind. I positively refuse
to be any cleaner than I am. From
now to the end of your visit I Intend
to have my kind of a good time even
if there isn't a floor swept or a dish
washed.'
"I did It," said Mrs. Darlington,
gloatingly. "I kept Frances whirling
in a perfect vortex of matinees and
luncheons and afternoon teas and I
had a beautiful time. But I relented
the day before she went away and let
her clean up the house for me.
"Frances is a dear girl," Mrs. Dar
lington declared finally, "but she cer
tainly has a weird idea of having a
good time!"— Chicago Daily News.

FRESH EGGS IN GOOD DEMAND
Little More Attention to Details Will
Result In Profit, Repaying Time
and Labor.
(By PROP. A. a. PHILLIPS, Kansas.)
The demand for eggs seems practi
cally unlimited, more especially for
the better grades. The growth of the
storage industry has tended to equal
ize prices by Increasing the de
mand In summer when fresh eggs
are plentiful and supplying tlie defi
ciency In winter when fresh eggs are
scarce.
Since the demand Is greatest for
the best grades, it seems obvious that
a little more attention to details will
result In a profit amply repaying tlio
extra time and labor involved.
It is not the purpose here to enter
Into any discussion of the ways of
Increasing the production of eggs, but
simply to point out the possibilities

of profit as a result of extra care in
handling and marketing the eggs now
produced; the extra profit is to be
made by obtaining (lie top retail
price, and, us consumers become
acquainted with the product, by ob
taining a premium of from one to five
cents per dozen over the regular price
pair for ordinary eggs.
In order to obtain top prices for
eggs, they must be uniform in size,
uniform in color, and uniform in
quality. The uniformity in color is
not always important and depends on
the market; uniformity in size ex
cludes small eggs and unusualls large
ones as well; while uniformity in
quantity calls for absolutely clean eggs
that have been gathered promptly
after being laid, kept under the best
possible conditions, and marketed not
more than three or four days after
they are laid.
TEACHING HEN GOOD LESSON
Poultry Gate as Shown in the Illustra
tion Will Save Cussing and
Garden Truck.
Barrels of perspiration may bo
saved by the poultry gate shown
herewith, which is reproduced, with
the article from the New England
Homestead. Whoever has uninten
tionally acquired the hen chasing,
hen-cussing habit may cure himself
with this little device.
In the fence, preferably at a point
near where the fowls are fed, a little
door about 10 by 12 inches is hung
on the inside of the yard, so as to al
ways swing shut without springs. It
is stopped from swinging outward by
the peg shown at the right.
Mrs. Hen, returning repentant from
the garden, will poke her head into
every mesh of the fence in her efforts
to rejoin her happy companions. The
gate will thus allow her to enter
without excitement or commotion l'roin
the lord of the harem from the irate
owner.
But another advantage may be
gained by using the gate in connec
tion with the laying pens. If tlie two
gates are used, one opening inward
Garden or Nest Gate.
in front of the nest, the other open
ing outward at tlio back or the side,
so that the hens may goto another
yard after laying, tlio poultryman
may know which hens have and have
not laid. Thus he may avoid the
troublo usually connected with ordi
nary trap nests.
