Those American women who are charged with the keeping of clubropms attractive and up-to-date must be im- pressed with the illustrations of the perfect smoking room recently opened in the Carlton Club for women in Mayfair, London. This is one of the exclusive and most luxurious organiza- tions for the gentle sex hich London boasts, and it is situated in a locality where opulent Americans have their homes in groups. Nearby is the finc residence of Viscount Curzon, and a short stretch beyond, his daughters, Ladies Mary Irene and Alexandra, maintain a_bachelor- establishment in the splendid mansion which the late Levi Z. Leiter presented to his daugh- ter Mary when she married the pres-| ent_British minister of foreign affairs. Lady Leila Herbert, widow of Sir Michael Herbert, some time British ambassador to Washington, is near the Carlton Club, and the masculine end of thiy famous organization is just next door. The smoking room the last cry of elegance joined to sim- plicity, and it is provided with deep cane chairs with pockets for the reader of magazines and a desk attachment for those who attend to their cor- respondence while puffing the weed. There are card tables equipped in_the famillar fashion, but with the added accessory that at each corner there is a small mirror and vanity box, so that the fair one may prink and preen be- tween the doling of cards. Washington follows the flight of the imaginative British writers in marrying off the Prince of Wales with a whimsical smile. But it was genuinely grieved that no foundation of fact rested on the royal heir's at- traction for Miss Gwendolyn Field, the exceedingly well dowered grand- duughter of the late Marshall Field and so frequently a guest at Mr: Marshall Field's beautiful Venet palace on 16th strect. The rumor attaches to Lady P: Herbert, daughter of the Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery. who last week had u dual celebration of her eighteenth birthday and of her formal presentation to the soclal contingent about Wilten House and at which the prince and the Duke of York were special guests. Lady Patricla Is lovely and eporty besides, and she n est leads the hunters no matter what the | goal, something which appeals to the prince more than the usual graces of the Indoor girl. The royaities re- mained three_ whole day: Wilton | House, and London society throbs with excitement. Many festivities marked the week of Lady Patricia’s debut. The Duke and Duchess of Hamliton gave a dinner followed by a dance at Ferne Castle.

Lady Patricla is a speclal favorite with Princess Mary and will be her guest at the hollday festivities which she and the Viscount Lescelles will give in their London home. Breadmaking. Experts in housewifery have esti- mated that there is a slight economy in making bread at home. Others have figured out that if you count in the cost of fuel and put any money value on vour time, then homemade bread is more expensive than baker's bread. But after all, this {sn’t the important matter, because the saving in either case so slight as to be negligible in families of average sizo and_resources. Whether or not you bake your own bread ought to rest on the considera- tion of whether your family really prefers it to baker's bread, whether or not you make fairly good bread 2nd whether or not you have enough time to make it without putting too wuch of a burden upon yourself. If vou find that your children eat homemade bread more willingly than baker's bread then vou ought to make it if posible. Some housewives find that while they sometimes have bread to throw away when they they never have any crusts to v when it is homemade. There is more nourishment in homemade bread that is made entirely of milk than in most baker's bread. Some housewives alwavs plan so that they make bread when they happen to have surplus milk. They make either all-milk bread or bread with | half milk and half water. Much time is saved to the bread- maker if she has a little corner of her cupboard or kitchen set aside just for breadmaking. There should be the flour barrel or other cogtainer, the flour sifter, the bread pans, al- riciz! ways washed carefully between bak- ings. There should be a bread board, | never used as a cutting board, or for anything _but bpead and pastry | making. If posible buy a bread mixer and have this as part of your bread | equipment. The fact that bread can be made without being touched ought to recommend the bread mixer, The fact that it saves time and strength will recommend it anyway.
