THE EVER POPULAR COATEE. For the early autumn nothing; is so popular with milady than the overrecurring coatee. Esther "Ralston, the Paramount star, who is now making “The Ease of Lena Smith”, has inchidr'd several in her wardrobe. Qnite a nmrher of the most fashionable gowns have either a coatee of the samo material or a contrasting shade, and those are ms of; nsefnl for slipping on when the weather turns cool. Also there are the more elaborate bridge coats of lame and brocade which are worn for the dinner party, then,the or bridge tea.. These are generally made in the straight Chinese style with wide sleeves, which are edged with fur. THE TRAVELLING ENSEMBLE.

Very suitable for travelling on cool night is the three piece kasha suit. Lhuiso Brooks, who is now playing an important part in Paramount’s “The Canary Murdelr Case”, wears a very smart example of the style. Miss Brooks has selected a smart summer weight 'Kasha, suit "in grey, black and white mixture. The coat is three quarter length, showing the full back and/ rag lap sleeves, while the rovers are of check material. The one-piece frock.shows a. pleated skirt of the check and'has the plain tweed top. Smart! lizard-skin Oxlbrds and a slate grey felt hat, complete the ensemble. HOUSEWIFE’S NOTES. SAUERKRAUT VITAMINES. An English paper states that the latest health craze is the drinking of sauerkraut juice before breakfast. Sauerkraut is a kind of pickled cabbage. The liquor which comes from it after it has been allowed to stand for some time is said to contain more vitamines than orange-juice. POLISHING CLBTH, An excellent polishing cloth for

Bvf “VERONICA,’’

silver may bo made as follows: Mix in a small basin one tablespoon plate-powder with one table-' spoon methyl atedi spirit, then ado oi l< up ho'hng water, Place an

| old tea-towel or other soft cloth in 'the mixture and soak thoroughly. I Hang the doth out to dry, shako | slightly, and it is ready for use. A j final polish may ho necessary. '1 he •polishing cloth de • ■ du*d has its limitations —it will I lent remove had stains, but when a ‘haih-no ’ is required it will he found quick, clean and easy. IMPROVISED ICE CHEST. An excellent substitute for an ioe, chest adopted hy many people in the country is to dig a hole in the ground about 4ft deep and 2ft square. Fill this with! water after the sun goes down and cover with a sheet of iron | or wood which has been covered witji (turf or louse dirt mixed with char(coal. In the morning all th,e water will have soaked' away, leaving the pit as cool ar an, ice-chest. All that is necessary to keep the pit ' 0| )1 is to wet the turf or soil on l op each night.
