LADY 
- Blouses for the New Fall Suit 
HE suits of the season are here in 
‘such a bewildering variety of col- 
ors, styles and trimmings that milady 
finds it difficult indeed to make a 
selection. Once selected, however, the 
suit must live up to all expectations 
of never-failing smartness; and in 
order to do this, the assistance of the 
friendly blouse must be called upon. 
White blouses will be well in the 
lead this season for the first time in a 
number of years, and they do much 
to improve the costume especially if 
the costume is a tailored suit. Blouses 
of sheer, handkerchief linen, or of 
batiste, voile or silk are made more 
attractive by frills, jabots and cuffs 
of the same material and real lace 
(or a clever reproduction). A batiste 
blouse has a wide white collar, very 
long in the back, and deep cuffs, both 
of which are finished with crisp, nar-- 
row frills. Another interesting type 
of blouse is of fine voile and the only 
decoration is a beautiful set of filet 
collar and cuffs. 
Wide, soft frills in the front of a 
blouse soften the effect of a severely 
tailored suit and may be made by the 
amateur. Soft batiste in combination 
with a good looking imitation Val- 
enciennes to finish the frills and cuffs 
may be made up into an attractive and 
inexpensive waist. 
The quite severe blouse of white or 
colored mervellieux has a turn-back 
collar and cuffs, pointed, and a black 
ribbon tie drawn between two French 
buttonholes. Shoulder seams and

FormMER Senator Apert J. BEv- 
ERIDGE So CHARACTERIZES 
PRESIDENT WILSON 
On last Monday night at the Som- 
erset Hotel in Boston, Hon. Albert J. 
Beveridge, former United States Sen- 
ator from Indiana, addressed the 
members of the Middlesex club on the 
recent threatened railway _ strike. 
Senators Lodge and Weeks, who 
spoke briefly before Senator Bever- 
idge, paid high tribute to the Indiana 
man, and when former Governor 
Bates introduced Senator Beveridge 
with a compliment to his “construc- 
tive genius” the audience rose and 
cheered. The entire meeting was at- 
tended with a great deal more than 
ordinary enthusiasm, and_ especially 
was this true of Mr. Beveridge’s 
“mistakes. 
armholes are corded with~ self ma- 
terial. Another smart white blouse 
has a high, buttoned collar, the latter 
in one piece with the front of the 
waist. The seams are hemstitched 
and the ball buttons are quite stylish 
without being ornate. Another white 
blouse of the same type has a vest, 
collar and cuffs of blue, ball buttons 
fastening the deep cuffs and the front 
of the blouse. Smocking takes care 
of the fullness across the shoulders. 
Oyster Rules for Cold Months 
Now that the cold months are about 
to return, oysters become import- 
ant in the daily menu. ‘The old say- 
ing that oysters are good only in the 
months that have an “‘r” is not found- 
ed only on fiction, for it is true that 
during the breeding season (which 
begins about the first of May and 
lasts until cool weather comes) the 
bi-valves are soft and milky. 
The important rule in cooking oys- 
ters is “avoid over-cooking.” More 
oysters have been spoiled by too much 
cooking than by all the other possible 
They should be taken 
from the heat when they have become 
plump and the edges have begun to 
curl. They should be served immedti- 
ately. Another important point in the 
preparation of oysters is that their 
flavor is delicate and should not be 
spoiled by too much seasoning. 
Raw Oysters are always a favorite 
dish in American families. They are 
served on the half shell in ice. Serve 
each person with five or six oysters 
speech. Several times Mr. Beveridge 
had to wave his hand for silence. 
Describing Mr. Wilson, Mr. Bev- 
eridge said, “As often* happens with 
literary men, he has shown himself to 
be not well adapted to the handling 
of big practical affairs. His is that 
type of mind which thinks that any 
problem, no matter how great, com- 
plicated, and immediate, can be solved 
by writing an essay upon it.” The 
demonstration was renewed by the 
audience when he said, “The national 
government lies with its face in the 
dust and the foot of force on its neck. 
It is our duty and privilege to put it 
once more on its feet and make it 
again the impartial agent of all the 
people instead of the whimpering 
slave of any faction or the pliant tool 
of any cabal.” The applause amount- 
ed to an ovation when Mr. Beveridge 
and leon or a Spicy sauce according 
to individual preference. Thin slices 
of dark bread may be served with raw 
oysters. 
Oyster Stew.—Easy to prepare and 
delicious to eat. Drain the liquor 
from one quart of oysters and heat 
slowly, when it reaches the boiling 
point, skim carefully and add to a 
quart of milk which has been heated 
in the meantime. Put in, too, the 
oysters and two tablespoons of butter, 
and salt and pepper to taste. Let the 
stew boil up once and then serve 
piping hot. Crackers, salted, may be 
served with this. ‘ 
For Broiled Oysters, use the larg- 
est that can be had and season with 
salt and pepper. Dip them _ inte 
melted butter and roll in flour. Lay 
them on a buttered oyster broiler, and 
cook over clear coals until they turn 
a delicate brown. Serve oni toast. 
Oysters Cooked in a Chafing Dish 
offer many pleasing possibilities for 
the. family luncheon or impromptu 
supper. One way is to put into chaf- 
ing dish, one pint of oysters, two 
spoons of butter, a little salt and 
cayenne. Cook oysters, stirring often 
until they curl on the edges. Serve 
at once on buttered toast. A similar 
way is to add a gill of cream as soon 
as the oysters begin to curl. * Allow 
them to boil up once again, stirring 
constantly. j 
Legislation by intimidation is ab- 
dication of government.—A. J. Beve- 
ridge. 
exclaimed, “But the fight now is 
against the government of terrorism 
which has usurped the functions of 
the representatives of the people; and 
we must wage that warfare until all 
men understand once for all that no 
power within the republic is greater 
than the republic itself; and that no 
threat of any kind or from any quar- 
ter can overawe the government of 
the American Nation.” 
At the end of the speech the audi- 
ence gave three cheers and a tiger for 
the distinguished speaker. Senator 
Beveridge starts next week on a 
speaking tour, in the interests of 
Charles E. Hughes, which will ex- 
tend to the Pacific coast.
