) Sahes Once *aere was a heroic strugsle in skirts. Egyptologists say there was a simjlar struggle 4,000 years ago. So we feel outdone. ‘When spring came over the hori- son some women met it with gay short jackets, others with loose short capes. Battles waged as to which was the more desirable garment. There was peace without victory. Women begged the question by buy- ing both garments. Designers have just come to the fescue by inventing a vomposite gar- ment whicn embodies the best fea- tures of the two rivals. In it there is the protective front of the jacket and the artistic background of the cape. The sketch shows how It is done. *The material is a soft cloth in beige and brown blocked off into a definite paitern. The fronts are fas- tened from muffler collar fo tight Rip belt, and the wide cape sleeves are caught together near the wrist %0 that the arm may be protected. This wrap is designed for the motor, and as such it fits the needs of the average American woman, for we are a nation of motorists. Nothing astonishes the foreigner more than to see the stupendous number of au- tomobiles owned in_ this country by the poor as well as the rich, the black as well as the white, the for- eigner as well as the native. “It is a nation on wheels! renchman. answered the woman next hom he sat at a dinner party. ven our children are on roller skates.” Motoring as we do throughout the twelve months of the year, and em phasizing the pastime in the sum mer, there is need of a wrap in every exclaimed wardrobe. What kind of a wrap is the question. If the garment flies open in front it is not only pro- tective, but it keeps the hands active- ly at work holding it together. If these sleeves arc wide at the wrist dust and sunburn do their worst. If there is no collar the neck rivals a lobster after a whirl in the wind and sun. Keeping these separate discom- forts in mind, a designer merely put together the best points of each motor ; garment and produced the one which Rival Models Combined in Wrap BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

And if you don’t, and if you like cabbage, why don't you try the red variety?” Full of vitamines as cabbage is, it really gives the housekeeper and plan- ner of meals a chance to ring in a new dish now and then which is full of many of the admirable things a food element should’contain. Of course, you can prepare red cab- bage in any of tne ways in Which white cabbage is prepared. But here are some methods of preparing it which are usual among red-cabbage lovers. Pickied Red Cabbage.—Slice It into a colander, sprinkle each layer with salt; let it drain two days, then put ‘into a jar. pour boiling vinegar epough to cover, put in a few slices of red beet-root. Choose purple red Coftee i Ice Cream cabbage. Those who like flavor or} spice _will boil it with the vinegar. Cauliffiower cut in bunches and) thrown in after being salted will look red and beautiful. Red Vegetable Salad.—One pint of cold boiled potatoes, one pint of cold boiled beets, one pint of uncooked red cabbage, six tablespoonfuls of oil. eight of red vinegar (that in which beets have been pickled). two tea- spoonfuls of salt (unloss the vegeta- bles have Geen wuned ~ iZ salted water), and half a teaspoonful of pepper. Cut the potatoes in thin slices and the beets fine, and slice the cab- bage as thin as possible. Mix all the Let stand in _a cold place one hour; then serve. Red cab- bage and celery may be used together. Red Cabbage—Select two small, solid heads of hard red cabbage; di- vide them in Ralves from crown to v Ivy, Oak and Sumac Poisoning. Poison ivy i8 a vine or trailing shrub having leaves which are alway: divided into three leaflete. Two of the leaflets are opposite and, have short stalks, and the third or middle leaf has a longer stalk. The under sur- face of the leaflets has a velvety covering of fine hairs. The margins of the leaflets are less notched than the common five-leaflet leaves of the harmless Virginia creeper (which many mistake for ‘poison ivy); a rather typical -feature of the poison ivy leaf is the tendency of the leaflets to be more deeply notched on one side. Poison oak Is more common on the Pacific coast and in the far west. This ) shfub has leaflets arranged precisely like poison ivy leaflets. but poison oak leaflets are similar to oak leaves in shape. Poison oal bushes some- times attain a height of five feet. Another variety of poison oak 1s common in the east, having the same three leaflet featuse, but the leaflets resemble the leaves of the scrub oak. Poison sumac (in some places call- ed poison elder, poison ash, poison dogwood) is a small tree growing in swamps, with smooth gray bark and leaves eight or ten inches long, hav- ing a slender stalk on which the sep- arate leaflets are arranged in oppos- ing pairs. Unlike the common fra- grant or harmless sumacs, poison sumac bears white or yellowish fruit, whereas the common harmless sumac bears red fruit. All of these poisonous plants are of the Rhus family. The irritant or pol- soncus principle of all is an oil called toxicodendrol, and in infinitely spall quantity of toxicodendrol will go a long way to spoil an otherwise happy summer!

The best way I know is soaking the hair with kero- sene for two hours (avoiding fire and flame, of course), then a shampoo. !To remove nits (which are the eggs and adhere to the shafts of the hairs near the scalp), draw strands of hair through a soft cloth wet each time with hot vinegar.

VARIATIONS—Wallis, Wales, Welsh. - RACIAL ORIGIN—Middie English. SOURCE—Dascriptive of nationzlity.

It was just the sort of distinctive description that a' man's nelghbors would pick out by which to differentiate him, and it was | also natural ‘that the same appella- jtion should be applied to his sons. Thus it became a family name of llorls quite early, and even developed a use as a given name, though as a irule the use of family names for |baptism did_not become a. custom until long after the formation of family names was complete. Thus in some instances those bear- ing the name of Wallace are descend- {ants of some one who bore the given {name of Wallace. But for the most part they are descendants of an- cestors originally Welsh. Omel;t_ With Spanish Sauce.

WHEN Sir Thomas Lipton entered the busi- ness of growing his own tea he gave one order to his employees: “] want the best tea that can be produced. It’s your work to produce that kind. If you have to spend a million dollars to getit, do so. Remem- ber, the best tea and nothing short of that! Nothing else counts.” Money was freely spent to get definite quality re- sults before the first tea was marketed. Standards of growing, picking, curing, shipping and pack- ing were established so that uniformity would be certain, and those standards were highly expensive; but they have been justified because more Lipton’s Tea is consumed today than any other !)rand.
