Takes but a moment to prepare, and saves you abor Pine is used in nearly all prescrip= tions and remedies for coughs. The reason is that pine contains several elements that have a remarkable ef- fect in soothing and healing the membranes of the throat and chest. Pine cough syrups are combinae “syrup” part is usually plain sugar syrup. To make the best pine cough rem= edy that monmey can buy, ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle and fill up with homemade sugar syrup.

Paris i{s under the thrall of the grand duchesses and princesses Who are begging for aid for their ouvroirs where are supported the very poor exiles who escaped persecution from Lenin. The subject is almost a mania in Paris. It began last summer when the devastated areas in France, and the French were begging for the refugees from Russia who had taken up their habitation in Paris. If the affair hadn’t been so serfous it would have been comic. This mid-season the great Russian ball In Paris in aid of the exiles brought together all society and those who are curious of the doings of society and the result was not alone a goodly sum of money for thousands who are really in a piti- able state of destitution, much worse than the Belgians during the war, for they have nod an inch of land to call their own and no way of getting places to work, but the ball resulted in a mad attempt to convert all new clothes into Russian fashions. We shall see much of the result from this day on. Already the dressmakers of Paris are wearing the gorgeous blouses de- signed by *he Grand Duchess Marie Pavlovna and the Princess Ousouroff and by seventeen other titled emi- gres who are glving their emotional temperaments ull sway in devising ways and_means for their country people to find a heart and a plate of food. WHat with Paris under the thrall of Russian sentiment and Washington giving itself up to an- other great social appeal for ald. there is no doubt of the influenc: that such sentiment will give a tre mendous {nspiration toward the splen- did and colorful fashions to *which old Russia gave birth. At the moment in Paris the blouse and the headdress of Russia are in the ascendancy. The former is avail- able for the majority, the latter will tickle the fancy of those who aim to dress brilliantly at night. The overblouse worn by the great Russlans to create a demand for It among fashion followers has some- what the crudity of our Indlan blouses which were advanced two years ago. There is the same pat- terning of brilliantly colored cofton threads on a cream or white back- ground. The blouse is worn over the skirt without a belt, the sleeves are as long or short as one wishes. The neckline is elightly round in front and rather high at back. The French dressmakers who are making a feature of such blouses have departed from the original cot- ton foundation and substituted red crepe de chine, also yellow and black. These foundations, holding as they do the bands of cross stitch and lat- tice work done in rainbow colors, give one a sense that no mere black frock can hope to rival such splendor. The dressmakers are taking up the Rus- sian idea with all the more vehemeénce because it promises a break with black by the public. Russian Influence in Fashions. BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

Well, they have come back into fashion. Mercy, no! not the twisted tortured affairs of those earlier days, but modern pieces of bright-colored wood. In other words, they are tbe old-timers all dressed up as twentieth century put 22| yara, misses. And truly charming are, these re- habilitated old favorities. So' disguised are they in their brilllant new dresses that they are not recognizable as old | friends. That is well, for indus- triously has the present generation gone about eliminating the poor old twisted grills, which tried so hard to look attractive in an earlier period of decoration. And horrible affairs they were. Wise have we been in learning not to love them. That there are advantages in door grills was realized by modern dec- orators. They eliminate the necessity of buying so much drapery material and they do allow more light to be dispensed between rooms. So recalling to mind the old styles some brilliant mind decided to modernize it and adapt it to present needs. The result has been that conven- tional flowers, _birds ‘wondrous plumage and_ flat designs all bril- liantly colored have taken the place of the scrolls of yore. Comforts. Several bride readers have written to ask me for directions for making & cotton bed comfort. The first step 1s to secure a quilting frame. Have a carpenter make you two lengths of board (flat clothes poles will do) eight feet long, and two more lengths of board which are each x and one-half feet long. These boards should be from two to three inches wide and flat. The next step is to tack a strip of bed ticking on each of these four boards, the entire length, letting one edge of the strip hang out one inch beyond the edge of the board so that the comfort may be sewed onto this tions of pine and syrup. The | (icking to hold it taut when you are dy to tuft it. res-my"“u“ is, of course, the nicest material to use for the covering, but the better grades are about 40 cents a so cotton ochallis is used by many _housekeepers, as this costs around 25 cents a yard. The comfort will be two and one-half yards long gnd two yards wide, so this will re- quire ten yards of material for the covering; two five-yard lengths of the yard-wide material will be sewed to- gether, then doubled over on ftself lengthwise, with the cotton batting between the two thicknesses. A bat of cotton two and one-half yards long and two yards wide will probably cost you around $1.50—but prices differ in fus vicinities. - When you h: ed the two five- yard lengths of material together lengthwise, lay it on the floor, spread the bat of cotton on one-half of it, fold the other half (lengthwise) over the cotton and baste the mater together on the three open sides of the quilt, over this cotton filling. Some stores sell cotton in small rolls, but it is best to buy it in the regular quilt-size bat which has not & break in it, for otherwise the cotton t ave ted u covering material over the cotton, the quilt is ready to put on the frame. Baste the four sides of the quilt onto strips of ticking which you previously tacked onto the four pleces of wood, u-lnf the two longest boards for the two long sides of the uilt, of course. Put four iron clamps any hardware store will sell you these) on the four corners to hold the four corners of the frame together— two ends of wood overlapping at each Making Your Own Cotton Bed corner—and rest the entire frame on chairbacks. If you can't get the clamps, tie the wooden ends together ‘with string. Begin quilting. In grandmother's day worsted was used to quilt with. But housekeepers of today have found that silkateen is firmer and washes better. You will need two balls of s een for one quilt. Tuft it close, as a close-tufted quilt holds its shape. ‘Three inches between tufts is not too close. To get the tufts even stick black-headed pins at intervals along the top of the quilt, then pull out a pin every time you put in a tuft The tufting process is very simple. Thread a large-eyed needle with dou- ble silkateen, and push the needle down through the comfort, pulling it out on the other side; then push ft up from beneath, close to where it went down, and tie twice on the up- per side, leaving one-half-inch ends of tied thread. 5 When you have tufted the entire e Cags togatner with mcaean, s ogether w! 2 Shioh thon ae: silkateen, to —_— ‘Make a rich ple dough to which one- half teaspoon of baking powder has been added and line patty pans with it: when baked nice and brown fill with peas seasoned with butter, salt, Dpepper and a little sugar and thicken with milk or cream and flour.
