WOMAN’S PAGE. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, THE CAPE AS A D. C., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1921. USEFUL GARMENT BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. “Still good.” That is the verdict rendered for capes by all who may be accredited as good judges concerning the new clothes. So well established have capes be- »me that they may hardly be con- sidered a fashion. They are a me- HE secret of the mattress is in the filling. The long- fibre filling in Con- science Brand mat- tresses is the secret of their buoyancy and en- durance after long use. The great sunlight factory uses only the cleanest and best ma- terial. Every mattress comes to your house in a tight-sealed, sanitary package. Conscience Brand mattresses are made in three varieties—cotton- jcape. A €ape almost Elizabethan in brevity and flare crops up contin- vally. Some of the new warm- weather evening capes, made of sev- eral layers of chiffon, are of this cut. If the mode of the directoire really |comes with any sort of consistency {then we might expect a cape Wwith straight, scant lines, wide of revers {and ‘high and Stiff of collar. Men | wore capes of that sort in the period {of the directoire, and it is the men's { clothes of the period rather more than those of the women that furnish the Isource of the new interest in that | period. | The Burnous Persists. But that is conjecture—and rather rointed conjecture—for the woman whose chief concern with clothes at the present time is to plan for a spring wardrobe that will answer im- mediate needs rather than needs a season or so hence. For the time being the wrap-about cape that is vastly more suggestive of the burnous of an Arab than the cape affected by the Unbelievables of the directoire period, is still in the picture. There is little new about it. The collar is of exaggerated width, crushing scarf-like about the neck, and the cape still wraps about the figure instead of hanging from the shoulders as undoubtedly any well behaved directoire cape would do. Contrasting Material. Meantime the difference comes rather in material and in the method of using material. When it seems per- fectly obvious that the women who HOME NURSING AND HEALTH HINTS BY M. JESSIE LEITCH. A Bump on the Head. “Oh, mother! Come quick! Johnnie fell out of the loft, and I think he's asleep on the floor in the barn. I called him and called him, and then I slid down in the hay and ran as fast as I could for you.” Little Lucy Manners, her hair in disordered gold about her baby face that was pink with her flight from the barn, threw herself across the threshold of the kitchen, where her mother was baking cookies. With little fragments of the dough still clinging to her hands, Mrs. Man- ners ran, fear lending swiftness to her feet, while her heart was like lead in her bosom. ‘“Asleep.” Her Johnnie—on the floor of the barn. And as she ran she prayed a swift, un- formed prayer about her little boy and God, and not letting him be dead. Sees Child's Arm Move. * As she reached his side and found his limp little body half-covered in the hay, her heart leaped for very thankfulness as he moved an arm. At least he was not dead. Quickly she felt of his arms and legs. Some- one had told her—she knew that was hat one should do when some s hurt. There were no bones bro! it seemed. But perhaps, after all, had not moved that arm. Perhap: was imagination, for he was very white and still, and it was only by tearing his little jacket open and pressing her face to his chest that the | mother could hear his heart beating. So still and white he lay. Small won- der the little sister had thought he ‘was asleep. Then, feeling his head. the mother hands iscovered a lump on the back of his head. The lids were cold and still over Johnnie's mischievous eyes. With a sob the mother gathered h little son in her arms and started for the house. She was alone with the two small children. Little Lucy could not go for help to the neighbors, a mije across the flelds. It was barely 10 o'clock, and the men would not be home till late in the afternoon. They were cutting wood in a distant lot. Surprised at Her Calmness. “Get mother some ice, darling, a pan of snow for Johnnie's head,” and half turning in the Kitchen doorway Mrs. Manners sent her little girl back the vard for snow, marveling a did So at her own calm in add “Keep vour mittens on, dear.” Johnnie, a limp little weight. was placed on the big. cushiony sofa in the living room of the farmhouse. It was warm there, and very quiet. His mother loosened his clothes at the throat and opened » windo: E she a passed upstairs for Johnnie's little flannel sleeping garment. She paused in her bedroom to gather old muslin rags to make the cold compr his head and to get the hot- bottle and the flannel she sometimes used to cover hot irons to warm the beds up on cold. stormy nights, still Johnnie lay After a time, still with that wild, un- formed prayer on her lips, the mother had her little boy undressed and wrapped warmly between the blank- ets, with heat at his feet and around his’ little body. open at the throat—the cold February air sifted across the room. There were cold compresses on his head. “Stay beside him, Lucy.” Mrs. Man- ners said once, and went swiftly to the kitchen for_hot milk, which’ she trickled down Johnnie's throat, half fearfully, lest he should choke. His little throat moved convulsively. There was a_strangling sound, while the mother heart stood still. Then Johnnie swallowed. Tears streamed down his mother's face as she trickled more milk down Johnnie's throat. And in a few min- utes he opened his ey “Don’t talk, dear. Lit still. Mother is here.” And so, in mother fashion Mrs. Manners sat beside her little son until little Lucy fell asleep in her lap and the father came home to go flving for the doctor, who only said: “You did the right thing. Mrs. Man- ners. Johnnie will be all right in a day or so.” e Beef and Pork Croquettes. Take one pound of pork and one pound of beef and grind together in a foodchopper.

With the new things there is an ab- sence of contrasting embroidery, es- pecially in outside apparel. But there is a strong tendency toward the use of contrasting materials.

One-half pound of brown bread crumbs, two ounces of preserved ginger ' chopped fine, one-half tea- spoonful of powdered ginger, two large tablespoonfuls of golden sirup, one tablespoonful of brown suga some grated lemon peel and tw eggs, which must be well beaten. Soak the bread crumbs in boiling milk, to which you have added an ounce of butter; then mix the crumbs and milk with all the other ingre- dients. Put the mixture into a small mold and steam it for one hour. It will then turn out easily on a small dish and should be served with the diluted sirup of the ginger made hot and poured over it. felt, silk-floss and hair —all with long-fibre fill- ing.
