FEA TURE Scotch Plaids in Present Fashions BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. Fashlon has no race prejudices, for she pays her compliments to all nations. Every season there is a new coall- tion of races so far as fashion goes— « little more or less of Spain, a pinch less of Russia, or a few cunces more of the Orlent—and in those ounces Possibly more of Indo-China and less of ancient Egypt. And all this goes on without jealousies or apparent in- congruities. Meantime most follow- ers of fashion go blithely on talking of Perslan embroideries, Russian ef- fects in coats, Egyptian colorings, with the blandest sort of unconcern as to what these things really are. One perennial favorite among the French dressmakers is Scotland—and to them Scotland means but one thing —plaids. To say a material is Scotch is to say that it is plaid—there would be no other direct way to say it There, is nothing vague or indefinite about this. We may be most uncer- tain in our knowledge of just what Egyptian colors really are, very hazy in our knowledge of Persian embroid- eries, but a Scotch plaid is easily dlag- nosed. For in France any plaid is Scotch, and it doesn’t in the least matter whether it matches up with any of the plaids actually adopted by one of the Scotch clans or not. Sometimes, of course, the authentic tartans are used, and one clever frock shows a small shoulder cape made from a real Scotch shawl, with trim- ming on the skirt made of the same. It is ope of the dark green and black tartand, and the body of the frock 1S of black cloth. g A charming French frock is of king's blue organdie veiled with mousseline de sole of a lighter blue showing a large plaid of mauve. And this is regarded as quite Scotch, though you would have a hard time to find a Scotch clan to claim this light blue and mauve its own. This very gown that starts out with Scotch inspiration ends by hav- ing a bolero that is distinctly Span- ish. But then we have always been told that women in whose veins were mingled the blood of Spanish and Scotch ancestors were especially charming. The Empress Eugenie was one of these. And perhaps the same holds true in clothes. Sometimes the plaid is not in the cloth at all, but is produced by stitch- ing in contrasting color or by_braid- plaid as see that summer meals, while con- taining plenty of nourish- ment, are at the same time appetizing and easy to digest. Chil- dren dislike hot or overrich food in warm weather. If left to themselves they would probably exist on cooling drinks and lots of fruit, but if they are to be kept well and strong throughout the summer they must have nourishing dishes made with milk, eggs and butter. Meat in small quantities will provide a welcome change. Well cooked fresh vegetables are excellent for summer meals for children, but all raw vegetables and salads should be omitted in the menus for young children. Fresh vegetables may be used as a flavoriog for soups and stews, may be added to milk or meat stews or served with meat gravy. Steaming, boiling, baking and stewing are good ways to prepare vegetables for children. They should be served quite simple or with a little milk, cream or butter to improve or vary' the flavor. With regard to summer fruits, it is best to give children only the juice made into jelly dishes and dainty pud- dings_with milk or cream, or they may have custards. Raw fruits and soeded fruits frequently upset chil- dren. Bananas are very indigestible for children and so are tomatoes and hard-boiled eggs. Oatmeal cakes &pread with butter and honey, accom- | panied by milk to drink, are an er- cellent summer substitute for oatmeal as a cereal, and most children like Junkets, baked custards and all kinds of jellied dishes. Other sweets may be given in the form of plain cake, cookies, sweet sandwiches, simple pure candy, honey, dried or preserved fruits, maple sugar and loaf sugar and other similar sweets. What Thoy Need. The first thing to do when planning & day’s food for children is to ar- range three attractive meals that furnish all the needed substances. It is more important to think about What childien need than to dwell on what they ought not to have. Nothing between meals is a spectally desirable rule in summer time. Chil- dren who eat when they are over- tired will get no benefit from the meal, and children who bolt their food and then run out immediately to play are almost sure to suffer from indigestion. There should be a short rest period before and after food has been taken, especially in summer. Children between three and ten years of age may be considered well fed if they have plenty of milk, bread and other cereal foods, an egg or its equivalent in flesh foods once a day. a_little butter, a small portion eac! of carefully prepared fruits and veg- etables, with a small amount of sweet food after the appetite for other foods is satisfied. If any of these is omitted the diet is likely to be one-sided. All cereals are good food for chil- dren, whether served in the form of bread, breakfast foods or simple des- serts.” There is no danger that any child will eat too freely of them. Compared with most other foods, milk contains much lime, but very little fron. Spinach and other green vegetables. and also egg yolks, are very rich in iron. This is one reason why combinations of egg volks and milk and of vegetables and milk are s0_valuable in the diet. Milk gravy may be combined with dried beef or salt codfish which has been cut into small pieces and soak- ed in warm water, or with small pleces of tender_meat, chicken, fish or vegetables. Such gravy may be served with toast, with baked or bolled potatoes, or with boiled rice or other cereals. Dishes of this kind are more suitable for dinner than for supper. Special Dishes for Children Milk Vegetable Soups.—Tnese are made from cooked vegetables, chopped or strained, which in this form may be given to even the Youngest children. and milk. whole or | skim, slightly thickened. The vege- tables may be asparagus, peas, beans of various kinds, celer: potatoes, turnips, carrots, spinach, kale. chard, beet roots or greens, parsnips, let- tuce, cress, caulifiower or almost any other vegetable. ~ i Ceseal Milk Puddings.—Fos a quart | of milk allow one-third of a cupful of any coarse cereal, such ‘as rice, cornmeal, cracked wheat, oatfeal or barley, and one-third of a cupful of | brown, white or maple sugar, siruj honey or. molasses, one-half o te: spoonful of salt, and one-eighth tea- spoonful of spice. The spice may be omittgt wnen honey os molasses is used. Savory Milk Toast.—For one cupful of milk allow one and one-half level teaspoonfuls of flour and one-fourth teaspoonful of salt. Make a smooth | paste with the flour, salt, and a little | of the milk. Heat the rest of the milk. Add the flour and milk mix- ture and boil for about five minutes, stirring constantly at first and fre- quently later on. If skim milk Is used, a level teaspoonful of butter or bacon fat should be added after the gravy is prepared. Coddled Eggs.—Many means have been suggested for cooking eggs in such a way that the yolks will be cooked and the whites will not be | over-cooked. One of the best ways ' is by coddling, which is dope as fol- lows: Allow a cupful of “water to each egg, bring the water to the boll- ing point, remove it from the fire, put ¢ in the eggs, cover the dish closely. «ad leave the eggs in the water for OTHERS should [ bran, BEIGE FROCK WITH BLUE BRAID FORMING PLAID, ing. The sketch shows m frock of this sort, of beige with dark blue brald forming the plaid. about seven minutes. Special Custard.—Break two eggs into a dish, remove any specks, beat well, then pour on one gill of hot beef tea or stock, beating all the time. JSeason if necessary and strain into a greased dish. Twist or tie a plece of greased paper over, put it into a pan on an inverted dish with boiling water to reach half way up tne custard, and simmer very gently for about twenty minutes or until firm on top. Turn out and serve at once. Floating Island.—Beat the required number of whites of eggs until stiff, sweeten a little, then cook in a cov- ered dish over water which is hot but not boiling, or cook on top of the hot milk which' is to be used in mak- ing the custard. Lift the egg whites out with a wire eggbeater or split spoon, and place them on top of the custard. Decorate with small bits of jelly. Chicken Jelly.—Take a chicken, cut it up into very small pieces, bruise the bones, and put the whole into a stone jar with a cover that will make it water-tight. Set the jar in a large kettle of boiling water and keep | it boiling for three hours. Strain off the liquid and season it slightly with salt, pepper and mace, or_ with loaf sugar and lemon juice. Return the fragments of chicken to the jar and set it again in boiling water. "It will collect as much jelly by the second boiling. Thiy is very nourishing. Beef may be used in the same way. Bran Cookles.—Take two cups of to be bought at any grocery store; a scant cup of flour, a tea- spoonful of baking powder, half a teaspoonful of soda, half a teaspoo: ful of cloves, half a teaspoonful of cin- amon, a tablespoontul of shortening, If a cup of corn sirup and half a cup of water, or more, it needed to{ make the right consistency. Mix the dry ingredients, and add the sirup and water. When well mixed, add | the melted shortening. -Drop onto a buttered tin and smooth thin with a wet knife blade. Bake in a moder- ate oven for thirty minutes. These will keep fresh for weeks. This amount will make thirty-six cookies. Ten Home Lunches.

God setteth the solitary in families. —Psalm, IxvilL6. i The welfare of the city and the Wel- fare of the home are inseparably con- nected. & What is the city, after all, but a great collection of homes? And how can its peace and its pros- perity be secured otherwise than through the order and happiness of those who are bound together in its scattered households? We often talk vaguely about the city as If it were a mighty entity, with a distinct life of its own. But in truth it has no existence apart from the families which com- pose it. Its life is theirs.. The physical conditions, such as over-crowding and bad bulldings nd high rents, which make the forfha- tion of a home difficult and the moral conditions, such as the prevalence of drunkenness and licentiousness, the inordinate pursuit of amusements, and the insane desire of wealth, which make the happiness of a home im- possible, are the real dangers of the city. It is against these things that we need to be on our guard, and to work and fight with all our might. But, after all, the great work must be done in and through the .home; and this cannot be accomplished by the law; it can be brought about only by the gospel. B Men and women must make their own households sweet and orderly and happy: they must train their chil- dren in the fear of God and the love of man; they must promote the gen- eral good by doing their duty In the natural relations in which Providence has placed them.

Imagine their surprise when their new friend, Sandy, all emiles, entered the circle leading a brown pig. The man farm- ers shook hands with Sandy and the manager brought out a big red sack containing yellow ears of corn for Mildred to eat.

And therein lies a woman's trade. —Nauny Meadow Mouse. ‘The old rusty can hidden.in -the grass at the foot of a fence post on the edge of Farmer Brown's cornfield was a regular castle to Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse. Danny took some soft, dry grass into it and they slept in it. But still Nanny didn’t go to work to build a regular nest, the kind of a nest in which to raise a family. Danny knew by this that she hadn't yet fully made up her mind to stay there. It suited Danny perfect- YES, SIR, IT WAS A SCARCECROW. ly. He was gure they never could find a better place. ; But Nanny kept making little trips here and there. She was still “look- ing around.

It stood only a iittle way off in Farm- er Brown's cornfield. It had been put there early in the spring by Farmer Brown's Boy to try to keep Blacky Amusing the Sick Child. While the child is very ill he is easily taken care of. He is bathed and fed; his medicine poured down and the blankets tucked in; his tem- perature taken and recorded; he is sponged off and goes to sleep unre- sisting. | . Then he begins to get well. He fusses about the corner of the wet wash rag flapping while you wash his ears; he whines about the flle press- ing into his fingers while you attend his nails; he argues about the time to take his medicine and is quite sure that he took it an hour ago and that it is not due until tomorrow after- noon some time. 5 You begin to think he is going to Iive and be exactly like his grand- father on the other side of the house. He grows stronger and turns up his nose at the food he is allowed. He demands a piece of rare beefsteak although never in his life has he eaten a plece, always begging for the thin, “cooked” piece on the edge. Besides, he doesn't see why he can't have a bit of almond bar. “Why not? All right, he'll ask the doctor himself. He grows still stronger and be- comes pointedly personal. How soon can he sit up In the straight chair? A half hour isn't anything. Why can’t he sit up all morning until he gets tired?

There was an . ol trousers, and above this a buttoned_tightly around a pundle of straw. On top of it was af old hat. When Nanny had made up that it was quite harmless|she ven- tured to climb up a leg of those old trousers. Then she explored every part of that scarcecrow. And as she explored her eyes grew brighter and brighter. Finally Nanny ran down and went to hunt for Danny. She found him close beside the old tin can. “Come,” so commanded -Nanny. “Come; I'Ve found a place for our new home.” For the life of him Danny couldn’t imagine anything better than that old tin can for a home, but he didn’t say of home making Nanny would have her way. She led him gtraight over to the old scarecrow. When he saw it he stopped abruptly. That thing 10oked too much like a man. But_ Nanny didn't stop. She ran straight over to it and up one leg. Danny almost lost his: breath when he saw her do it. “Come on,” she squeaked. Of course, it wouldn’t do to let Nanny think he was afraid to do any- thing which she did, so Danny scram- bled up after her. ‘Then Nanny took him all over that old scarecrow. She showed him the pockets in the old coat. She showed him the pockets in the old trousers. She showed him how they could make a nest in the middle of that bundle of straw with which that old coat was stuffed. Her little eyes fairly snapped with excite- me; “It's better than that old nest of Redwing’s,” she declared. “It is the last place in all the Great World that any one would expect to find us. Ever since we lived in that nest in the zlder bush I have hated to think of going back and living on the ground. Now we won't have to. This will make a wonderful home.

He ,will lose himself for the time at least.

BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. GORMAN VARIATIONS—0'?™"tan, MacGorman, RACIAL ORIGIN=lsh. SOURCE—A giventham, “M!Gormain” is the Gaelic form of this family name, the Anglicized de- velopments of which vary from the original principally by the elimina- tion of the “i" and in most cases the dropping of the “Mac” or the “o.” The given name from which the family name was formed, at first as a clan name, was “Gorman”, exactly the same as the form of the family name most frequently met with to- day. The ending “main” instead of “man” in the Gaelic clan name is merely inflection. The possessive case of the glven name, of course, had to be used in connection with the pre- fix “Mac” (“son of”). The given name had a meaning of “illustrious.” One of the most powerful clans of ancient Ireland, from both the influ- ential and the numerical point of view, was that of the ‘““O'Connors, and a great many of the Irish clans formed at a late period were branch- es of the O'Connors. The MacGor- mains were one of these. It was formed, apparently, about 650 A. D., and its founder was a direct descend- ant of “Cathoir Mor,” an O'Connor who was King of Leinster and the 109th monarch of all Ireland in 119 A. D. The MacGormalins themselves, however, became a very powerful clan throughout the middle ages. (Copyright, 1923.) Cruelty to Flowers. This is the. season for cruelty to flowers.

All the gladness of their color has left them. They are fainting for water, dying. Seems cruel, doesn't it? That is why children should not be taught to pick every flower they see growing. It seems inhuman for a happy growing child to snatch away the life of a beautiful growing flower, and it Is not right to permit children to do something that faintly whispers of cruelty or wanton destruction of lovely things. Yet when children stand back in awed delight at the sight of a lovely bed of blossoming plants, eome grown-up is sure to_sa: Don't you want some? “Pick them It would be far better for the spirit of the child to let him look at the flowers and leave them there to gTow on in loveliness and peace. Teach him how to pick flowers and then teach him to care for them prop- erly after he has gathered them. Otherwise, let them alone. (Copyright, 1923.) rHorlick's The ORIGINAL Malted Milk .
