EARLY SPRINGTIME DESSERTS.
To stimulate the appetite and furnish
minerals and acids which the system
craves at this
sdason fresh and
canned frpits are
most valuable.
B a nan a Des-
sert.—He it one
pint of milk in a
double boiler un-
til scalding hot.
Add two teaspoonfuls of cornstarch
which has been mixed with one-fourth
of a toaspbonful of salt and one-third
i of a cupful of sugar, then one-fourth
L of a cupful of cream. Cook thirty
^knnnutes, stirring occasionally. Add
Vfrie well-beaten yolks of two eggs,, re-
^mturu to tic? boiler and. stir constantly
W until smooth and thick, using care not
f to overcook the egg and curdle it.
i Add one teaspoonful of orange extract
and put in a cool place.
Cut sponge or plain cake in slices
and arrange in a glass dish in layers
'With sliced bananas, having the bot-
tom layer of cake and the top one
bananas. Pour over the custard and
cover with a meringue, using the
whites of the eggs and two table-
spoonfuls of powdered sugar. Flavor
with lemon extract and heap in
spoonfuls over the top of the custard.
The servings may be arranged indi-
vidually and are thus more attractive.
Pineapple Rice.—Cook one-half cup-
ful of rice in two quarts of boiling
salted water until tender but un-
broken. Drain, blanch with cold wa-
ter to keep the grains from sticking
together. Cut two cupfuls of sliced
pineapple in small pieces. Beat one
cupful of heavy cream Cntti! stiff. Fold
the cream and pineapple into the rice,
being careful not to break the kernels..
Serve in sherbet cuj)s with bits of
candied cherries or preserved, sugared
or fresh sugared strawberries on top.
Cherry Sherbet.—Take; one cupful
of stoned cherries, two and one-half
cupfuls of water, one-half cupful of
sugar and one tablespoonful of
softened gelatin. Heat the cherries,
water and sugar, add the gelatin, mol
and add the juice of one orange.
Freeze to a mush and pack in salt
and ice. Serve in sherbet glasses.
Flowers From, Dress Materials; Kids
and Suede Aid in Forming Sec-
tional Bits of Ornamentation.
Apart from the lavish hand embroid-
eries and machine.-wrouglit decora-
tions variously used for street and in-
door garments of every kind, the sea-
son’s apparel stands apart by reason
of most unusual sorts of trimmings,
beads and applique work, notes a fash-
ion writer in Fashionable Dress. For
instance, a clever device of the French
designers is the making of flowers
from dress materials. Soft silk crepe
or satin will be “mounted” upon a
background (sometimes rubberized) to
stiffen it, and then it will be cut and
fashioned into flowers, petals, or con-
ventional oddities to scatter over a
surface, or to place at regular inter-
vals in meshes of a lace, or between
lines of beading or embroidery. Tiny
daisies or forget-me-nots are thus used
with a bead in the center through
which the flower is sewn. Kid and
suede are used in similar ways, form-
ing lines on belt, or almost solid sec-
tional bits of ornamentation.
Feathers are used in embroidery on
lace or chiffon; tiny pieces of coral re-
semble melon seeds in shape, and are
used in many ways with other beads
or embroidery floss.
There is a fancy for introducing nar-
row, loosely woven grosgrain ribbons
ostrich supply beautiful touches ftst
evening gowns. .
Flower girdles, made of chiffon or
satin and mounted on silver ribbon,
are fascinating adjuncts of dancing
frocks. Other uses for artificial flow-
ers are as appliqued ornaments at in-
tervals on a skirt of lace or tulle, and
also as a hip-depth girdle on a soft
silk gown whose color the flowers
match.
SPRING BLOUSE WITH COLLAR
Large pink roses aid in making this
blouse cheerful for first spring wear.
The boyish collar has a youthfully be-
coming tie of black moire tibbon.
It is easy in the world to live after
the world's opinion; it is easy in soli-
tude to live after our own; but the
great man is he who in the midst of
the crowd keeps with perfect sweet-
ness, the independence of solitude.—
Emerson.

WHAT TO EAT.
A nice emergency dish which takes
littfe time to prepare and cook is:
Salmon Scallop.
....... , ||
-Take one large
sized can of salm-
on, remove all
bones and skin
and place in a
buttered baking
dish in layers
with corn flakes
and white sauce. Make the white
sauce by using two tablespoon-
fuls each of flour and butter and
one and one-half cupfuls of milk with
seasonings to taste. * Gook until
smooth. Bake the dish thirty minutes
in a moderate oYen.
Carrot Cakes.—Select old carrots
and boil in salted water until tender.
Drain and mqsh, season with butter,
salt and pepper. Make into flat cakes
and fry in a little butter. Serve hot.
Onion Soup.—Take two chopped
onions browned in a tablespoonful of
butter. Add a quart of well-seasoned
chicken stock—veal is nearly as good,
or a mixture of the two. Simmer fif-
teen minutes and at serving time lay
a small piece of browned buttered
toast in each plate and pour the soup
over it. Pass cheese with it.
Parsnip Chowder.-—Fry two table-
spoonfuls of onion, two tablespoonfuls
of diced salt pork until crisp and
brown; add one pint of water, two
cupfuls of diced parsnips and. one cup-
ful of potato. Cook until soft. When
the vegetables are cooked add a white
sance, using two tablespoocfuts; of
flour and two or butter. 'When well
blended add a cupful of miik and sea-
soning. Simmer all together flye min*,
utes and serve piping hot.
Graham Bread.—Take two cupfuls
of graham flour, one-half cupful of
white flour, one egg, one-feurth cup-
ful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls. of
molasses, one cupful of sour milk,
one tablespoonful of fat and three-
fourths of a teaspoonful of soda. Mix
and bake in a well-greased pan forty
mibutes.

WEAR HATS THAT FIT FACE
Young Girls Are Supposed to Favor
Millinery Which Has Expres-
sion of Youth.
There is none so powerful in the
mastery of fashion who can lay down
the law about hats for a class. The
young girl is supposed to wear the
kind which expresses youth and avoid
the type worn by the older women.
This tradition is gone by the board.
It keeps company with Davy Jones’
Locker and a million traditions of the
depths. ^
The debutante^of this gay Jr\
per-pus season wears on her -he .-j. tfa*
which looks weli! over her foee! The
rule is an excellent one to follow
through life. It aids: the old and the
young, the pretty and the plain,.
The stiff sailor shape, Gibsonian in
its severity, is about the only kind
that is not popular. All the hats that
have cluttered fashion since the idea
began of wearing formal coverings on
the head have reappeared tills sea-
son. They present a bewildering ar-
ray, it is true, but not an unpleasant
one. It is distinctly comfortable to
find a wide limit to one’s choice.
The tam is the most girlish shape,
and it persists in fashion. It has
ceased to hang over the back of the
collar in the Latin Quarter way. It
has plenty of fullness, which is dis-
posed to give breadth across the head.
For ornament there is a broad spread
Egyptian design in some composition
in an Egyptian blue. This blue is ad-
mirable for debutantes.
The high-crowned hat that is usually
difficult for the adult to wear goes
well with the brilliant and unlined
youthful face. It has a slight oriru
and a mass of flues swirling out from
the side. The young wear it in black
velvet without a touch of color.
The Persian turban brought into
strong relief this winter by the suc-
cess of “Mecca” and “Afgar,” the lat-
ter costumed by Paul Poiret, is the de-
light of the girl who has a dash of the
adventuresome in her carriage. It
should not be worn by the timid type.
It is built in Oriental blue velvet and
covered with a latticework of small
pearls and white crystals.

THE FISH HUTS.
“On a lake,” said Daddy, “which
was frozen over, were many little fish
huts. There the
fishermen would
fish through the
holes in the ice
which they would
make during the
winter. The fish
huts were made
so as to protect
them against the
hard cold, and the
great cold winds.
“The Sun had
gone to bed rath-
er wearily. He
had had a lazy
sort of day. He
had not been shin-
ing very much.
He had come out

but lie had spent a great deal of time
napping.

Lady Gray Clouds spread her grayness
over the water and the boats and the
sky above.
“ ‘I’ve felt that very way today, and
Lady Gray Clouds has been out a
good deal, trying on her many gray
suits and gowns of which she is very
proud.’
“ ‘But,’ said one of the Sun’s daugh-
ters, who had come along for a min-
ute’s chat, ‘I promised to give a tea
party for some fi’iends this afternoon.
I told them I would give them our
finest sunbeam tea.’
“‘Well,’ Mr. Sun said, ‘then I will
shine for awhile.’ \
“Mr. Sun kept his promise and his
daughter gave a tea party. The sky
was red and speckled with gray and
the sunset was very lovely.

A letter like this brings hope and the promise of health
to every sick and suffering woman. Perhaps you know
what it means to have yotir daily duties a misery, every
movement ah effort, stomach deranged, pains in the head,
back and loins most of the time, nerves raw and quiver-
ing—not a moment day or night free from suffering.
Do as Mrs. Anspaugh did. Take Pe-ru-na. Don’t wait

RUB RHEUMATIC PAIN
FROM ACHING JOINTS
Rub Pain right out with small trial
bottle of old “St. Jacobs Oil.”
Stop “dosing” Rheumatism.
It’s pain only; not one case in fifty
requires internal treatment. Rub
soothing, penetrating “St. Jacobs Oil”
right on the “tender spot,” and by the
time you say Jack Robinson—out
comes the rheumatic pain and distress.
“St. Jacob’s Oil” is a harmless rheu-
matism liniment which never disap-
points and doesn’t burn the skin. It
takes pain, soreness and stiffness from
aching joints, muscles and bones;
stops sciatica, lumbago, backache and
neuralgia.
Limber up ! Get a small trial bottle
of old-time, honest “St. Jacobs Oil”
from any drug store, and in a moment,
you’ll be free from pains, aches and
stiffness. Don’t suffer! Rub rheuma-
tism away.—Adv.

BEHOLD THE COLORFUL SHOE
Manufacturers’ Displays of Spring
Footwear Include Riot of Colored
Kid and Fabric.
Sprihg shoes are more elaborate
and gorgeous than ever before, al-
though such a pedal state seems al-
most impossible in view of the con-
fections of footgear that have tripped
about this past season.
Shoe makers say that since, after
long yearns in tfio ; attempt, they have
convinced womankind, that shoes must
be as fragilely beautiful as gown or
hat, they do not intend any slump in
their propaganda. Thus, spring foot-
wear showings in manufacturers’ dis-
play rooms are a riot of colored kid
and fabric, metal, jewels, ribbons and
composition.
Gray seems to be the big choice in
color, as slices follow suit and coat,
and blue and gray is the big color
feature in outer raiment for spring.
There are many copper and red
browns, however, a few blacks and
midnight blues, and the usual novelty
combinations.
Trimmings run rampant. A swirl of
patterned perforations with an under-
lay of contrasting color and fabric is
the big trimmings feature. For in-
stance, a pair of bronze kid colonial
pumps have an inch-wide band of oval
perforations about the entire shoe.
White kid is used as the underlay and
white velvet bows flank the straps
upon the tongue.
Tlie revere effect is another new
note in footwear. This style is shown
in blue kid pumps, piped in white kid,
with white straps that disappeai un-
der the turnback revers.
Gray suede perforated with a wide
range of patterns and underlaid with
black patent leather is a ‘..vie much
in the foreground, and black patent
leather trimmed with gay scarlet pip-
ings of velvet, satin, or kid, is anoth-
er reigning novelty.

“As I told you before, the sun had
gone to bed when the brownies came
along to give their supper party in the
fish huts.
“They used every hut you see. And
this is how they did it.
“They had soup in one hut and
salad in another and creamed chicken
in another, and hot chocolate in still
another and so on.
“And as they went from hut to hut
what laughter there was, what merry
sounds rang through the cold night
tiir.
“ ‘Of course,’ said Billie Brownie,
‘the fishermen didn’t build these huts
for us, but it is nice to be able to use
them for our party.
“ ‘As we never leave any crumbs be-
hind or any sign at all that we have
been here, it is quite all right. They
would not mind, I feel quite sure.’
“ ‘So do I,’ said Bennie Brownie.
“And then they hugged each other
and fell over as they so often did
when they hugged each other, and that
was very often, too.
“They had the finest sort of a sup-
per and what fun it was to go from
one little hut to the other, over the
frozen lake. What stories they did
tell as they sat in the different huts
eating.
“And when the meal was all over,
and they fiad eaten all they possibly
could, they packed
up what was left
and sent it down
the different holes
£«r the fishes.
“ ‘Some free
food,’ they said,
‘and we won’t
catch you or try
to, either!’
“Of course they
didn’t send the
fishes some of the
food they had had
because they
knew the fishes
wouldn’t enjoy it,
and besides they
had eaten every-
thing up which
they knew the
