WOoM WEARING SPRING BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. AN’S PAGE. HATS IN WINTER. * Some one the other day said that oné no longer needed a social reg- ister in New York—that all you needed to do was to look about and ses Who was wearing spring hats. Asd it is rather comforting if you haven't had time or inclination for even the first interview with your milliner to think that in your indif- fcrence to this matter of Spring hats at this time of the yvear you afe merely showing your social eligibility. Unfortunately the rule won't hold water. At least it contains a few leaks, for there are women of wealth ar@ breeding and everything else that is supposed to get and keep one in the social register who have worn spring hats just as early as have the industrious army of crooks and ste- n hers, saleswomen and chorus girls and _dressmakers' models and the rest of womankind who are con- veniently lumped together in _the minds of some women as the sort of people who rush the season. Temptation in the Shops. One very good reason why a good ¥ many women and girls who work in officcs do make the mistake—if it is a mistake—of wearing spring hats in February is that they wear their hats out faster than do women who are not under the cbligation of going out every day in the year, rain or shine. Often they have as much money to lspend on_their clothes as women of considerable social prestige, and have to worry very much less over the problem of making both ends meet with their dress allowance. They spend their lunch hours. what re- mains after they have eaten lunch- eon. looking about the shops, where n before Christmas they may see spring hats on display. ¢ easy then if. by the end of ary, one's winter hats seem to be Fopelessly out of shape. to convince one’s self that the only economical thing to do is to buy one of those tempting hats of flowers or straw that seem to radiate spring sunshine and warmth even in winter weather! A Better Choice. There is always wisdom in resist- ing this temptation. If you need a new hat for immediate wear, why not select the type of hat that may be worn now without rushing the season but that can be worn at times all summer and in the early autumn with perfect appropriateness? There is always room for a hat of Chatterer Has Some News. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. ‘What some folks will not do themselves ‘They seem quite willing others should, Wor hesitate to gain thereby And keep their reputations good. —Peter Rabbit. Chatterer the Red Squirrel was a long time in the house of Bobby Coon. Anyway, it semed a long time to Peter Rabbit and Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel waiting outside. They began to wonder if anything could have happened to Chatterer. Peter fairly danced with impatience and euriosity as he waited. Happy Jack pretended not to be at all interested, but he changed his position so that - could watch the dorway of Bobby Coon’s house. At last Chatterer's head appeared in the doorway. He looked down at Peter and grinned. He looked over at Happy Jack and grinned. Then he elimbed up and sat in that doorway and began to wash his face. He didn’t say a word. i “Well.” cried Peter, impatiently, “is Bobby Coon in there?" “Don’t you wish you knew?" replied | Ch%t’tzrer, in the most provoking way. | "Yes. 1 do,” replied Peter. “Be a ®00d fellow. Chatterer, and tell us.” “Well. if it will do you any good to know it, he is.” said Chatterer. “Afid is he asleep?’ asked Happy Jack. eagerly ! Chatterer nodded. “Yes,” said he, “Bobby is asleep. “Sound asleep?”’ inquired Peter. “Quite so0," replied Chatterer. "l'dh! all curled up in a ball?” Peter ed. “That 1 can't say,” replied Chat- terer. “Why can’t you?" demanded Happy Jack. “You've been down there an seen _him, so why can't you say?" Chatterer grinned more broadly THIS BERET IS OF DARK BLUE SATIN SOUTACHE AND DECO- RATED WITH CABOCHONS OF JET. this type in your collection.

For this type of hat you will be wise in selecting one of the shapes that have been tried and not found wanting. Then you may be sure that it will not be out of the picture six months from now. One of the new shapes that are still in the experi- mental stages might be well enough for the hat you intend to wear out this spring. but this hat you will plan to keep through the summer and autumn, possibly longer. The French hat shown in the pic- ture might serve as a good model for tEis selection.

Is that it, Chatterer?” “I guess 80,” replied Chatterer. “But you must know!" cried Peter. ‘Well, you see,” replied Chatterer, “there are 80 many Coons down inside there and they are 80 mixed up to- gether that I can’t tell who is who!” Happy Jack's face was a study. It was funny to see. Then suddenly an angry look swept over it. “Chatterer couldn’t tell the truth if he wanted to,” he exclaimed. “He thinks we will believe such a story as that. 1 can tell him one that won't. He can't stuff any such story as that down me.” Instantiy Chatterer lost his temper. “If you don’t believe what.I tell you come on up here and see for your- sel he barked, angrily. “You're afraid! That's what's the matter with you:; you're afraid! I don't care a hair of my tail whether you believe it or not; it's 8o, and because you don't believe it makes no difference.” Then he did a thing which wasn't at all nice. He stuck out his tongue at Happy Jack. Meanwhile Peter Rabbit was danc- ing about excitedly. “I know, I know!” he cried over and over. “Bobty and Mrs. Coon have their chil- dren with them! The whole family is spending the winter together. Jimmy Skunk’s family is doing the same thing. I know, because I saw them. 1 thought the children of Jimmy and Mrs. Skunk were the only ones who spent the winter at home with their parents, but it must be the Coon children do the same thing. My, this is news! I certainly am learning a lot these days. (Copyright,’1921, by T. W. Burgess.) LISTEN, WORLD! BY ELSIE ROBINSON. We were passing the ad for the latest movie release.

Add three-quarters of a cup of stewed and strained tomatoes, to which has been added one-eighth teaspoon of soda.

Laura. A Kirkman Desserts Made With Gelatine. It has always been a mystery to me why the average housekeeper shuns gelatin in making her desserts. She regards gelatin as an economy meas- ure, seeming not to be aware of the fact that there are delicious sponges and Bavarian creams to be made with this stiffening agent, as well as the plain “shaky jelly” desserts more commonly seen. It is not at all necessary to follow a recipe in making a gelatin dessert if the housekeeper will bear in mind that 1 tablespoon of granulated gela- tin (dissolved in a little cold water) will stiffen 1 pint of any kind of liquid. When the housekeeper has fruit leftovers with fruit juices, all she need do is to take 1 tablespoon of gelatin, dissolve it in the small amount of cold water, then measure out as much hot water as she will need to make up the pint of liqul_d after seeing how much of the fruit juice she has; this amount of hot water should be sweetened to taste. then should be added to the dissolved gelatin and the mixture allowed to cool. then the fruit juice added as it begins to congeal. To develop a plain fruit gelatin of this sort into a sponge, the house- keeper should use one tablespoon of gelatin and two-thirds of a pint of sweetened hot wate he should let this cool until it begins to congeal, The Value of Cold. It is well known that the women of cold countries have marvelously fine- grained complexions, and that as a general thing they do not grow old as soon as the women of warmer coun- tries. This is due to the value of the cold climate they live in. Cold is as- tringent—it draws up the pores, it brings the blood to the face, making e e New Fabric Hats for the Youngsters. Fabric hats lead the spring style procession when millinery for children is under consideration. Making a child’s hat is really a very simple matter, now that frames in any shape or size may be purchased all ready for handling, 2nd in most up-to-date millinery departments salespeople are instructed to give purchasers of hat material any information they may want in regard to applying trimming, making bows, etc. The sketch shows three charming bits of headgear for children, any of which would be easy to make. The two small hats would be suitable for FABRIC HATS LEAD IN HEADGEAR FOR CHILD] a little girl of two to six or seven years, and the poke might be adapted for an older girl, although it would be quite suitable for the six-year-old if_preferred. The upper hat is made of navy taffeta or satin combined with tan colored self-fabric and trimmed sim- ply with embroidery in navy in a Greek key pattern. The turned-back brim in front is faced with the light- colored fabric and either ribbon in the same shade, or a band of the ma- terial may be used for streamers at the back, a touch of the embroidery appearing on banding and streamers. The ke is of black or navy taf- feta trimmed with red taffeta cherries appliqued on. The under brim may be faced With the red if desired, or it may be all black. The lower hat, having a soft crown and brim that is very lightly rein- forced, combines navy satin and bright red satin or taffeta. The crown is of the navy, and the cuff, or folded- back brim, is of red laid in tucks or small, soft pleats. Charming little bonnets or caps for smaller children are made of fine straw braid combined with chiffon or georgette, the soft plaques—really perfectly flat mats of pliable straw— bing espectally desirable purchases for these fabrics and Straw combina- tions.

Beware! Poor dye streaks, spots, | whites, whipping the whole till frothy before setting it aside to mold. To make a Bavarian cream, simply use three-quarters of a cup of Whip- ped cream instead of the egg-whites mentioned in the above paragraph. ¢ There are many little “fancy touches” added to these general di- rections, and the following recipes illustrate this poin Coffee Sponge.—Two tablespoons granulated gelatin, two cups strong coffee, one-half cup sugar, one-quar- | ter teaspoon vanilla, two egg-whites. Soak the gelatin in cold water to cover for five minutes, then dissolve the sugar in the boiling-hot coffee, |add the gelatin, and stir over hot | water until the gelatin is dissolved. | When beginning to congeal, add the | egg-whites stifily beaten and flavored with the vanilla. Whip until creamy in color, and let stiffen in a wet mold. Serve cold with a soft custard or with cream. Marshmallow Bavarian Cream— Soak one tablespoon of granulated Felatin in water to cover for five minutes, then combine it with one- | quarter cup of sugar and one cup of boiling water; cook over boiling water until the gelatin is dissolved, then set aside until it begins to thick- en. Now add eight marshmallows | diced. one-quarter cup chopped nuts |ana eight schino cherries, also diced finel: t well and pour into a wet mold. This is a delicious and dessert for a guest meal. the complexion rosy, and it does away with much of the tendency toward lax muscles and wrinkles after middle “Hut most of us live in a changeable climate, with a great deal of warm weather, and a great many of us have become §o tender that we keep out of the cold as much as possible in win- ter. That is one reason why our com- plexions are sallow and frequently coarse pored. ) You can do your skin an enormous amount of good by rubbing it every day with a little ice. As the ice is drying, you should precede the rub by a massage with cold cream. There are times during the summer, how- ever, when the skin will be a little too oily, and in that case you can rub the face with ice and not bother about the massage. It is really amazing how a five or ten minute ice rub a day will rejuve- | nate the complexion. The skin shouml be thoroughly cleansed first with soap | and water and then a little cold cream | should be rubbed inand wiped off with a soft cloth. Then the jce massage should follow. It will smooth out wrinkles, close up coarse pores, bring blood to the face, harden weakened muscles. It will make your skin soft and fine and glowing. 1f you have a double chin, you can massage off most of the superfluous flesh by rub- bing with ice, without, however, the preceding cold cream massage. Be Careful What You Wash Your Hair With Most soaps and prepared shampoos | contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Mulsifled cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get Mulsified at any | drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water | and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified.—Advertisement.

About Lifting Sick Folks. When Jerry Gifford, the best little old goal keeper that ever handled a stick, slipped on the ice and broke his leg, the team gathered around and tore their hair. If it had been any one but Jerry! And to slip on the ice and break a leg. It was unspeakable. ‘Why, it was almost as bad as falling downstairs, and to think that Jerry would not be keeping goal when the home team went into the next state to wrest the cup from the next state's fingers—well, it was just too unspeak- able! So spake the team. - And Jerry, very white and tragic, lay with his eyes closed and his hands clenched and tried to still the quiver- ing of his lip, for he was just a boy, after all. And his heart was bound up in the team. Team Serenades Jerry. But when the home team did go after the cup in the next state—and bring it home—the color surged back into Jerry's face and the old leg didn't hurt so much, after all, and they moved him to the window, and the home team serenaded him, and parad- ed across the lawn and turned hand- springs in the snow out of sheer re- joicing, until Jerry's mother brought them all into the house to Jerry's party, where they ate jammy bis- cuits and drank very sweet tea and ate quantities of cake and cookies and ice cream and candy, and finished up with apples and nuts, strewing the sitting room copiously with nutshells and apple cores, as they related the story of the conquest. It was only when Jerry was ready Onions With Eggs on Toast. Peel six medium-sized onions and cut them in slices about a fourth of an inch thick. Cook them in haif a teaspoonful of salted water for about twenty minutes and then drain; save the water, Melt two table- spoonfuls of butter in a pan and stir two teaspoonfuls of flour into it. Stir into thig paste a cup of the water in which the onions were boiled and let it come to a boil to make a smooth sauce. Add more salt and pepper it needed. Beat the yolks of two eggs, add four tablespoonfuls of cream and | beat again. Take the sauce from the fire, stir into it the cream and egg yolks, return to the fire for a minute and stir briskly. Do not let it curdle. Put the onion slices on pieces of buttered browned toast and pour the sauce over them. Serve hot. Turnips With Cheese. Take five or six white turnips, ac- cording to the number of people to be served, wash carefully and par- boil until they are tender, which is usually about half an hour.” Cut them in small block or dice shape and put| them in a buttered baking dish, in which a layer of bread crumbs has been placed. sprinkie with bread crumbs. s then Cover with sauce and Add a ‘ed cheese, brown the ovem. to be lifted back to bed that Tad, the| fastest man on the team, on waved a deprecating nd method in which Jerry's family gath- f;fiid around to carry him back to his Tad Had Learned Trick. h beast asking Tad to lift carry me all the way back now a trick about lifting sick said Tad, cramming his apple into his mouth bite of and straightening his strong youns bac “0ld Doc Peters showed me how when father was ill last month.
