Knitted Coats With Yarn Collars COLOR CUT-OUT A Foot Ball Hero. DOROTHY, DIX’S LETTER BOX BY MARY All is not gold that glistens, and &Il is not fur that is soft and furry and is found on collars and ouffs of new coats. Sheared yarn makes an excellent substitute for fur on such ‘wraps—substitute, not an imitation, for it does not for a minute pretend to be what it isn't or really deceive sny one with eves open. It is much BEIGE WITH D CUFFS OF SHEAR: WHICH LOOKS LIKE more appropriate to the knitted coat of sport type than real fur would be. This is shown in the sketoh of a boige knitted coat with collar and cuffs to match of sheared yarn. These new Autumn coats of knitted wool are a novelty, and present one more | chapter of the story of how the mak- ers of knitted garments are striving to extend their activities beyond the making of mere sweaters and slip-ons. Threc-quarter and hip-length coats of well tailored finish are not new, but these full-length coats with sheared varn collars strike a new note and fill a need in women's ward- MARSHALL. robes. Such a coat would be ideal for the general utility wrap for Autumn and the warmer days of Winter. It would be suitable for motor wear and for travel by land or_by water. Now that every one istalking about ensemble costumes, and thé idea of having one's entire costume, coat, frock, shoes, hat, all in harmony, is spreading more and more in this country, one of these knitted long coats might well be selected as a complement to a one-plece knitted frock of the same color and shade. For the girls who can afford it such an ensemble in pure white would be charming A beige knitted sport frock with beige felt hat d beige coat would be more pract ble, while a navy blue ensemble of that sort would be most utilitarian. 1f such a dark color were chosen it would be far better to choose a frock in which some gay color was introduced than one entirely blue. Some of the one-piece knitted frocks show a bit of vivid design in the sleeves or about blue shows a sort of shaded design in gray. One good-looking knitted frock in rayon or artificial silk show. stripes of varying lengths in red. white and light blue against the dark blue. (Copyright, 1924.) Favorite Recipes of Prominent Women BY EDNA M. COLMAN I——————— Delicious Buns. MRS. JOHN M. NELSON, Wife of Progremive Leader. Although Mrs. Nelson has already staged a full career in the upbring- ing of six children, she is more than likely to decide that a campaign in which one is so vitally interested as she and her husband are in the political fortunes of a presidential candidate almost in the family can far outdo the demand of a mere family of lively children. Mr. N son’s management of Senator I lete's campaign for the pr makes that race one in wh fortunes of both men as well as ator Wheeler are involved. At all events, every member of all threc tamilies is bound to the wheel of the third party and the energies as well as the sympathies of all are enlisted in making the goal. Something of the painstaking care which Mrs. Nelson has lavished upon her family is reflected in her cook- ery. Her buns are famous: Soak one yeast cake in_ one-half cup of water at noon. When dis- zolved add one cup of lukewarm water. Make a soft batter and Iet it rise until night. Then add two | cups cold water, one cup sugar, one- half cup lard, one tablespoon salt. Make a soft sponge and let it rise overnight. In the morning mix well in a hard loaf. Let rise until noon Then knead it down. Knead it down again at 3 o'clock. In the evening make out in small buns and set them about two inches apart. When they rise again bake. This will make about 50 buns. (Copyright, 1924.) Our Children—By Angelo Patri Write It Down. One of the ons why children make poor recitations and receive bad marks is that they do not write enough. The wise teacher. Bacon, said that writ makes an exact| man. The children need to acquire that quality, and writing things out is one of the very best ways of acquiring it. A child studies a_page of history, which means usually that ne has read it through, one eye cocked to- ward the window and one ear toward every sound that floats within hear- ing distance. Once through, he slams the book shut and thinks he knows it. When the t her says, “Tell me what happened when Franklin went to France for aid,” he looks dazed. “Ah, a, he was very popular with the people. Ah, a-—he wore his old bhrown coat A a—he made France friendly. Ah, a——" “That_will do.” says the teacher dryly. “I'd suggest that you study a little harder and get more out of 2 page than you seem to.” If the boy, who really thought he knew the story, had written a para- graph on Franklin’s trip to France, he would have discovered that he did not have the accurate information he needed, and would certainly have gone back to his text to find it Writing a paragraph, he discovers, means using only the points that count and letting the others g0 by. In this way he learns to find the point of the story and to state it tersely, yet completely. BEAUTY CHATS Lip Salves. There is a certain lip salve which is said to reduce thick lips to something nearer accepted standards of beauty. It contains tannin, which is very as- tringent, too much So to uee upon an; thing as delicate as the lips without being very much diluted with oil. To make this salve melt one ounce of any good cold cream (preferably one con- taining olive or almond ofl), add one gram of pulverized tannin and one gram of alkanet chips. Let this mixture stand for five hours, then squeeze (hrough a piece of cheesecloth. This wmakes only a small amount, but you do “JUST HATS” BY VYVYAN. Even Hats Have Ears. Many hats have ‘“ears—ears of felt or ribbon or feathers. That is to say, they have twin trims with ane at each side of the hat, and ex- actly alike. In the case here shown the shapé is felt and has ear trims of contrasting colored felt, consist- ing of a disc of the material, with a tounge of the same, both disc and tounge edged b silvered kid, { examine such notes, but the boy, or | girl who makes them will soon find them of great assistance in more ways than one. They find that they can read a page and select the points that count in a shorter time than it used to take to study the whole page and get nothing but a hazy idea of what it was about. They learn to tell a story in a few sentences. They learn to be exact and careful in their statements Most of all, they know what they know, and there is no doubt in their minds about it. Having written it they have it for good and all. There will be no more ah-a-ing for them and no poor marks, either. History is not the only subject that should be learned with a note- book at the elbow. What is worth reading in the school course is worth keeping notes upon. In the first place it makes for the greatly de- sired accuracy necessary at recitation time and on examination day, and it makes a handy reference for reviews. With a good notebook at hand, one does not need to go through a whole book previous to a test. But it seems to be hard to convince children that this is true. They start out bravely with a notebook, but it is soon shoved aside, its blank pages a mournful testimony to their weariness in well-doing. As I said the teacher cannot check these notes. Perhaps, some one at home could un- dertake that duty. It would be a great help. (Copyright, 1924.) BY EDNA KENT FORBES not need much, and you ehould make it up often, if you use it, so as to have it perfectly fresh. This salve can be put on as often as you want and will not dry your skin. If you want a regular, colored lip salve though, you can make one up as fol- lows: (The cold cream is the fine cold cream, the formula for which is given often here. If you haven't this made up buy a cream made entirely with vegetable olls, or buy spermaceti oint- ment.) Cold cream (or spermaceti oint- ment), 1 ounce ; alkanet root, 15 grains; oil of cloves, 5 drops; balsam of Peru, 15 grains. Put the alkanet and cream together, heat very, very gently until a deep rose color. Strain and add the balsam, give it a few minutes to cool and settle and add the oil of cloves. If any sediment settles, pour off the clear top ofl before adding the clovea. On the whole, I think it eimpler to buy lip sticks. But this formula gives you a healing, colored salve which can be kept in a tiny pot on your dressing table. Glycerin cold cream is a good salve for chapped lips.

About Mayonnaise. The housewife who plans her | luncheon and dinner salads carefully usually serves the heartier salad for | luncheon and is apt to choose a| mayonnaise dressing, leaving the sim- ple French dressing and plain lettuce to accompany the more substantial evening meal While she is stirring carefully so as to insure the creamy consistency of good mayonnaise dressing, she purchases one of brands of this popular salad dress- ing, one wonders if she realizes that it has a good bit of history and ro- mance behind it. As a matter of fact, mayonnaise has been known for hundreds of years. Students even disagree about the spelling and the meaning of the word. One” authority is of the opin- ion that the word comes from an_ old Provencal word, “mahonnaise,” which means to mix a salad. Logically to follow out this definition would mean that we should spell the word “mahonnaise.” As to the feminine suffix “aise,” this was added because of the fact that in early times the salad dressing was mixed by the youngest and prettiest of the women, It is easy to fancy these ladies of high degree In their picturesque cos- tumes beating and stirring while gai- lants in doublet and hose sat by mur- muring phrases of admiratibn. Still another story is to the effect that mayonnaise dressing was origi- nally made in Bayonne, France. Cer- tain old French cook books give the word as “Bayonnalse.” Students of the subject are of the opinion that Bayonne's still celebrated salad oil is proof of the truth of this legend. Then, again, one day in France, we read, the Duc de Mayenne was giving a dinner party, when the chef was in despair because the cream had turned sour. This cream was to have been used for a salad dressing. In this desperate emergency the chef used olive oil instead of cream. Then, so the story goes, the lords and ladies enjoyed the new sauce so much that the chef was felicitated on his artistic ability. If we accept this story we shail think of the sauce as “mayen- naise.” Whichever tale we accept, however, most of us unite In enjoying the salad dressing known to us as “mayon- naise.” ‘The fact that this dressing is a true emulsion makes not only a delightful consistency, but also ren- ders the oil more digestible, as the oily particles are thus held in sus- pension instead of remaining in & solid mass of fat. ‘The oil used may be either olive, cottonseed or corn oil. An element in the yolk of the egg, which is an important part of mayonnaise, is re- sponsible for emulsifying the oil. The acid, whether vinegar or lemon juice, and salt and spices not only give flavor to the dressing, but also have | an_effect upon the emulsion itself. Manufacturers who give us the standard brands of mayonnaise depend on chemists to consider such ques- tions as the type of oil, temperature, methods of mixing and quantities of each ingredient to be used. And the testing processes are marvels of scien- tific accuracy and skill The various salad dressings on the market today vary in chemical com- position, but accepted products meas- ure up ‘to double standard—the first that of the manufacturers’ own mak- ing and the second that of the Gov- ernment laboratory.

EAR MISS DIX: I am a young married woman, only 19, 13 years younger than my husband. T am very lonesome, as my husband goes to work early every morning and does not get back until 6 or 7 in the | evening, and he never lets me leave the house when he is gone. My mother lives about three blocks from us, but if I go to see her my husband stays mad at me for two or three days. I told him that I didn’t have to live | with him, and that T would leave, for I can’t help but cry when he speaks so roughly to me, but he says that if I leave I will never see any peace. i My health is not good since T married, and my mother says I am grieving myself to death. Do you think that if I left my husband T would soon forget him? TROUBLED. Answer: No, Troubled, T don’t think you would forget him. T think you would remember him to the longest day you live as a modern Bluebeard who tried to lock you up in a closet, and that every time you thought ‘of him you'd fall down on your knees and thank God that you had cscaped out of his clutches. . A man must be insane who thinks that he can take a 19-year-old girl, in these days of the emancipation of women, and shut her up in a house as if she were a prisoner. Certainly any girl who submits to such treatment deserves to be incarcerated, for good and all, in a home for the feeble-minded No husband who cared a rap for you would treat you that way. He would know that being young you must have pleasure and society and many interests in your life, and he would want you not only to go to see your mother every day, but to have plenty of young company and amusement. { No woman should gad around so much that she neglects her housework or fails to provide her husband with good, well cooked meals, but after she has done that she is all the better for going about. It keeps her healthy, cheerful and up to date, and makes her a more interesting companion with whom to live. There is no virtue in staying at home unless you are usefully employed in the home. On the contrary, the stay-at-home women invariably get dull and narrow, and whiny, and complainy, because they've nothing to think about but themselves and their own ailments and troubles. Matrimony is a partnership, and it should be conducted on a 50-50 basis. There is no place in it for tyrants and slaves, and every woman should demand fair play of her husband as a condition of her remaining a member of the firm, i Therefore, 1 certainly think you would be wise to present an ultimatum to Boss Husband and tell him that you decline to be locked up in a cell in solitary confinement for the next 50 years of vour life.

To Peter Rabbit it seemed very funny that Grandfather Frog should have to swallow air in order to breathe it. To Grandfather Frog it didn’t seem funny at all. Things we are used to never seem funny. If Peter had stopped to think about it he might have wondered if Grand- father Frog didn’t think it was funny that he, Peter didn't have to swal- low air. The discovery of Grandfather Frog’s way of breathing aroused more curi- osity in Peter. He had noticed that when Grandfather Frog dived into the water of the Smiling Pool and swam down to the bottom bubbles of air came up. Now, had Peter tried to swim under water, which is some- thing he cannot do. he would have held his breath. He knew that Grand- father Frog hadn't held his breath, but had let the air out of his lungs, and it was this air coming to the sur- face of the water which had made the bubbles. This meant that by the time Grandfather Frog reached the bottom he had no air in his lungs. Yet despite this, he could stay down there just as long as he pleased. “I don't see how it is, Grandfather Frog,” said Peter, “that you can do without breathing_so long when you are under water. If you have to have air when you are above water I should think you would have to have air when you are under water.” “I do,” said Grandfather Frog. Peter looked more puzzled than '| AUNT HET !

Dignity may be natural or assumed. Natural nity must fall easily upon a person, as an inherent part of his personality. It is then a talent, charming and winning. Assumed dignity is offensive and degenerates usually into pom- posity. Dignity is discreet. It loses no motions, it makes mno automatic actions; it is not jerky. It has grace of mind, strength of heart, and straightforwardness of action. It does not decrease good-natured fun. You are morose at one time and apt to be flippant at another; you are not the same at all times whenever the circumstances are similar. Before performing any unusual act, you do not think it over carefully to see how it will look when done. In order to be dignified it is not necessary to lose your good humor. It is possible to get a great deal out of life without stooping to the level of the clown. (Oopyright, 1924.) HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “Mosaio” Work.
