AMONG NEW SILHOUETTES THE BOX COAT IS FAVORED EVERY wman seeKs distinction in dress, nnd is especially pleased when she discovers a suit that may justly lay claim to it, for suits must possess considerable stability In style. They are worn oftener and longer than other kinds of apparel, and much is demanded of them. They are required to vary accepted modes by ingenious differences, without go ing to any extremes; they must be conservative in order to be refined, 'they must be spirited enough to escape being commonplace, and in most cases a youthful flavor is demanded of them. The task, of choosing one that will ful fill all these obligations promises to be easier than it has been, for fall suits are shown in greater variety than for some seasons. The launching of several distinctly different silhouettes and their accept ance gives one a choice in coats that vary much in outline. In length they range all the way from finger tip to those that reach almost to the bottom of the skirt. One may, choose a model with a slim, close-fitting body and long waist, having a ruffled skirt set on. Or the choice may fall upon the Russian blouse or the box coat and PAPER AIDS THE HOSTESS IN MANY CHARMING WAYS I” PHOTOGRAPHS could only por- i tray color and light one might gath- j er something of the beauty of the many household decorations that are made of paper. There is an amazing number of things with which the coun tenance of a room may be so changed that it is transformed. And there are many small permanent furnishings that are made at home of paper, pos sessing as much beauty and more In dividual charm than those same things as found in the shops. Lamps and lampshades, candle-holders and candle shades, wall panels, portieres, vases, baskets and small lanterns or electric light shades are among them. To these the home-maker and the hostess add many pretty ornaments, as occa sion calls for them, that have their brief and beautiful day and are re placed by something new. In the picture above decorations for a table are shown, together with a shade for electric lights. The rose is the inspiration for this pretty scheme, and crape paper in the Amer ican beauty and lighter shades serve to carry it out. As a .centerpiece for the table, a wire standard fastened to a card board base supports a cardboard box. This is round and has a cover. The lsase, standard, box and lid are cov ered with green paper, the lid only on the inner side. Big rose petals are | pasted about the inside edge of the i skirts may matcn tne coats or they may not. Sometimes they are in checks or stripes, while the coat Is plain. There is enough variety in style to in sure becomingness, but nearly all of them have appropriated the flar ing sleeve and look to fur and em broidery or fur and braid for their embellishment. Two very handsome suits in the box coat style are shown here, and they reveal that even the straight coat may be greatly varied. The suit at the right is a youthful model with the coat considerably shortened at the back and generously embroidered. It has a band of fur at the bottom and about the sleeves and is provided with one of the smart, high collars of fur which add the season’s own touch to every model. The suit at the left is a dignified af fair, also employing fur and em broidery, and also cut on straight lines. It opens at the front in a curved line that is odd, and fastens with round buttons. There are many points of difference between it and its companion and it is these small dif ferences that give character to suits and make the mode interesting. | box and the upper side of the lid. Al ; together they form a huge, full-blown rose, as pictured. Small half-open buds ami asparagus ferns are twined about the standard. Single roses on wire standard make pretty holders for almonds .and candies, and place cards are still smaller rosebuds with rose leaves and the name on white card board fastened to the standard. There are many little surprises In favors that may he concealed In the centerpiece. The globe for lamp or electric light has a wire frame for Its foundation, covered first with tis sue paper or crepe paper. Little rose petals are pasted all over this, and streamers of paper having petals at their ends fall from the top of it. These are only suggestions for a rose luncheon —there are many ways for making the light shades and using the rose petals. cprrucHT rr votbh ncwatu union Veils.

The best of pie filling will" never make up for the lack of a good crust. For those who will not use lard. "l* l rec *^ e "'** *’ e US " W ■ Butter Pastry.— Take one -half cupful of butter, one and one-fourth cupfuls of pastry flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt, four tablespoonfuls of ice water, one tea spoonful of melted butter, and one tablespoonful of Hour. Chop the but ter into the first quantity of flour, which has been mixed with the salt, after the butter is well blended add the ice water, mixing with a knife. Roll out the pastry, spread with the melted butter and sprinkle with the tablespoonful of flour and roll it in. Roll up like a jelly roll and put away long enough to chill. Then cut in halves, roll out two crusts, and when the pie is made brush the top with milk. Hot Water Pastry. —This is one of the quickest made pastries, hut will need to stand on ice to chill before using. Make it the night before needing it or early in the day in which it is to be used. Take one cupful of lard, one tea spoonful of salt, one-half cupful of boiling water; pour over the lard and add three cupfuls of flour; mix well and set away to become firm. This makes two covered pies and one crust for an open pie. The bits left from rolling may be returned to the pastry and used again without hurting its tex ture. Sliced Pineapple Pie. —Tnke two thirds of a cupful of sugar, one cupful of thin cream, two eggs, one table spoonful of butter, one cupful of sliced pineapple, diced, one nnd one-half tablespoonfuls of cornstarch. Heat the cream, saving out a little to mix with the cornstarch, add the corn starch and cook until thick. Cream the butter and sugar, add the eggs, slightly beaten, add to the first mix ture and cook until thick. Now add the pineapple, cool slightly and pour into a baked pastry shell. Cover with meringue and brown or serve with marshmallows over the top, lightly browned. Strength of character is not mere strength of feeling: it is the resolute restraint of strong feeling; It is un yielding resistance to whatever would disconcert us from without or unsettle us from within.—Dickens.

BELZY DODD, THE “MAN WHO SCALPS HIMSELF” Some historians have asserted that Belzy Dodd was a myth, hut some of the old scouts who knew him well do not agree with them. “Ask some of the Injuns who raided along the old Santa Fe trail about ‘The Man Who Scalps Himself,’” they said, with a laugh. Like California Joe, Dodd was n practical joker, and one of his jokes once defeated a band of Indians and saved a wagon train from the horrors of a massacre. Dodd was guiding a caravan of traders to Santa Fe At night they parked their wagons in a circle with the mules corralled Inside to prevent their being stampeded if Indians at tacked. Outside the circle guards were posted to give warning at the first appearance of a savage. Just before daylight one morning the traders were awakened by a shot, nnd rushed out to find a guard lying wounded an the ground. In the next instant n hand of Pawnees charged down on the train. A fierce battle fol lowed. The Indians who attacked the train were re-enforced by a larger hand and in a short time It became evident that the train, whose defend ers were hopelessly outnumbered, was doomed. Suddenly Dodd, whose rifle had knocked down more than one painted warrior, threw aside his weap on and dashed outside the circle of wagons. Howling fiendishly, he rushed into the midst of the charging Pawnees. Before the Indians could recover from their surprise at his bold act, Dodd whipped out liis long knife, ran it around the edge of his hair, and with a wild yell, tore off his shock of black hair and waved It about Ids head. It was too much for the Pawnees. With a howl of terror, they broke and ran. Dodd was a swift runner —lie could hold his own in running beside a galloping buffalo, it Is said —and he pursued the frightened redskins, shrieking and waving his “scalp” un til they left him fur behind. A wig had saved a wagon train! After that time any wagon train which Belzy Dodd guided over the Santa Fe trail was safe If the Indians saw Dod'J In the lead. They had no use for a man who eould scalp him self and still live. What became of Befzy Dodd and where he died is as much a mystery as his birth and early life. He played his little role- as a comedian in the drama of the West, and then, like many greater actors, he passed on and wus soon forgotten. OLD BILL HAMILTON’S STRANGE DUEL WITH AN ENGLISHMAN One of the greatest of the old-time mountain men ip western history was William T. Hamilton, or “Old Bill” Hamilton as he was known in the early days in Montana. His strange duel with an Englishman Is historic. Old Bill had offended the Englishman In some way, and the Britisher chal lenged hirn to a duel. “All right; I’ll fight you!” said Old Bill. “But I get to name the weap ons and rules for the fight.” The Englishman agreed, nnd this is what Hamilton decided: Each man was to strip to the skin, go out to the Yellowstone river, and with an ax chop a hole In the ice. Then the two men were to get down In these holes and sit In the water up to their shoul ders. The first to leave this Icy hath wan the loser. The contest began. The Englishman stood It for a few minutes. Then with a wild yell he leaped out and, with his teeth chattering, ran for u house and a stove as fast as lie could. Old Bill followed close on his heels, calling the shivering Britisher every name in his vocubulary. (fid Bill was declured winner of the duel. It had lieen no hardship for Hamilton. He had lived among the Indians and was as hardy as they. He Is said to have been the only white man of his time who could strip naked, take a how and arrows and shoot buffalo from horse back as well as the savages, with whom he lived. Hamilton finally settled down at Fort Benton, Mont., where lie opened n log cabin hotel and a butcher shop. The governor of Montana appointed him sheriff of Choteau county, and he was also a deputy United States mar shal. In 1865 the governor asked him to visit the Crow and Gros Ventre In dians and persuade them to come In to Fort Benton to make peace. "But how can I go?” said Old Bill. “I have to look after my eatln’ house and butcher shop and ’tend to my duties as sheriff and marshal. I’ve got two prisoners on hand now and no jail to keep ’em In.” Finally he consented and, accom panied only by an Indian hoy, he made the dangerous trip. After a series of exciting adventures lie returned in safety, bringing the two tribes with him to the council. Old Bill died In 1908 at the age of eighty-six. He was always proud of the fact that he had been a scout for the United States army, and to the day of his death he kept the Stars and Stripes floating over the little log cabin where he lived.
