N WOMA Backs of Frocks BY MARY We learned the trick of stretching the oloth of our gowns and wraps quite snug in the back from the Orient. You would have to search far and wide in the Occident to find precedent for the flat, scant backs that we have been wearing for a Season or so. It is Japanese, Chi- mese, Egyptian—anything but Euro- PAQUI LAME T 2 GODE OF CHIFFON LACE HELD WITH J TIFS WHICH MARIK LINE. MODE MM APRICOT "ELED MO- THE WAIST- pean. The us were bro idea with which most of cht up was that while trimmings went for the most part on- the front of our frocks. m the fullness went to the back—espe- cially important was it to have skirt fullness drawn to the back. The taut- drawn back was ugly, unfashionable, even indecent. But now we must all have become AND GOLD | st_of | to Appear Flatter MARSHALL. quite used to the idea of having fab- ric drawn flat across the back of frocks. There are some women who still feel that the effect is ugly, but at least they have grown used to regarding it as smart. Further to emphasize the flatness of the back of skirts French design- ers are now increasing the fullness at the front. Berthe of Paris makes frocks with back as flat as any grid- dle cake and then adds the effect of further posterior flatness by intro- during fullness at the front, held in at the line of the hips by smocking. Lanvin makes her new frock even flatter at the back than she ever did before—which is saying a good deal— and then draws attention to the full- ness in front by placing very large discs of embroidery there. Poiret is one of the French de- signers who introduce fullness in front by means of godets. The sketch shows how this is done on one of his new evening frocks. It is of apricot lame trimmed in the front with godets of chiffon and lace, which are held with jeweled motifs. (Copyright, 1924.) Favorite Recipes of Prominent Women BY EDNA M. COLMAN.

Mrs. Gardiner, formerly Miss Elea- nora Tracy of New York City, al- though of northern birth, gives de- voted allegiance to the South. Her | family removed to Memphis. Tennes- | see when she was but 6 years old, | and from that time until her mar- riage to a Maryland lawyer that city was her home. Mrs. Gardiner has many. accom- plishments, all of which have added 1o the popularity of their home and especially during the period her hus- d served as one of the three Com- ioners of the District of Colum- With three children and a vast array of club, social and church affil iations requiring attention, she has but little leisure. Southern cooking holds first place in Mrst Gaediner's household, and she is especially par- { tial to the famous Dixie biscuit, which is the despair,of so many cooks, who do not seem to be able to_acquire the proper knack. Mrs. Gardiner has not only a fa- mous recipe for them, but she put it in jingle form: Down in Dixie long ago they used Muscle to beat biscuit dough. But modern methods, we'll agree, Make it easy for you and me. Instead of rolling pin and muscle, Make vour good food chopper hustle, And run the dough some five times through. | That's all the beating you need do. | Then roll out and cut and prick it, see, | And bake in oven for lunch or tea.

This will Pake two ples, to give in to him and pick him up and hold him until he falls asleep. What else can I do? I know the rules, but they can't alwavs be put into prac- tice in an ordinary family.” Of course, that is true. No two children were born alike and no two homes were ever alike either in the temper and atmosphere of them or their advantages of organization. One must use his grain of knowledge to suit his problem and make the most of the failures and successes, There is a great burden resting upon the mothers, and only the mother herself knows and appreciates the intelligence that goes into man- aging a_ household of children and adults. Tt requires health and under- standing and much love and some pa- tience. "It is a lifetime job with no time off and the reward is precarious. Often the family does not understand what has been done until the mem- bers have families of their own and must face the situation in their turn. Then mother gets a bit of apprecia- tion, and she's lucky if it doesn't come in the form of an invitation to bring up the grandchildren as their mothers would like them to be. Training children is a grinding task, take it at its best, but there is no other task on earth that holds such joy for those who undertake it. There are no words that can picture it. Mothers feel it. It shines in their eves during the hardest hours. If only one could help—could give a tested recipe for each difficulty—but it is as Shakespeare put it: “If to do were as easy as to know t'were good to do, chapels had been churches and poor men’s cottages princes’ palaces.” (Copyright, 1924.) HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “The Rosary.” The authorship of this famous song, known at the farthest outposts of Engilish-speaking home life, has been disputed. But the popularly credited author of the touching words was Robert Cameron Rogers, whose widow recently taok occasion to assert that he in fact was thelr author. According to Mrs. Rogers’ informa- tion, her husband wrote “The Rosary" in 1894, in Santa Barbara, Calif. In the same year it was published, with other of his verse, in a book called “The Wind in the Clearing.” Several years later Mr. Nevin wrote the music for it (Copyright, 192¢.) Oatmeal Crumpets.

The early aspects counsel aggressive ac- tion along well-thought-out lines, but not on any enterprise, the conception | of which it attributable to impulse. | Agreements, contracts and obliga- | tions, which have been delayed, can now be entered into and executed. In the evening, vibrations indicate a | condition of tension and nervousnes: a tendency to find fault and be quer- ulous. Poise and self-control are needed in order to avoid saying or doing things which will mar what | otherwise might have been a perfect day. A child born today will be very healthy and strong, and its physical condition will, at all times, be su- perior to its mental state. Its char-| acter will be more weak than strong: | its disposition winning and attrac- tive; its mentality normal. Such a child presents many difficulties, but to be forwarned is to be forearmed. The building up of its character | must be stressed above all things, so that the attractiveness of its dis position, combined with lack of reso- lution, shall not lead it into paths which were better left untrod.

It is, of course, quite true that “many mickles make a muckle,” but it must not be forgotten that “one muckl is_worth more than “many mickles.” You seem to lack the ability to a: sume responsibility, and have become a cog in the wheel, without the ambi- tion or desire to be the wheel itself. You occupy a subordinate position with a willingness and perseverance that gives complete satisfaction to those “higher up.” You apparently are afraid to tackle the job of a di- recting force, as you fear the as- sumption of the obligations and duties which such a position always involves. You are a good private, but a poor captain! On looking back, you see those that have worked with you side by side now enjoying positions of well-merit- ed dignity and commanding influence, and you are disposed to attribute this difference in your respective positions to luck or chance. These factors, and they do undoubtedly exist, are not responsible. The only real rea- son why you have been “left at the post” is your own lack of initiative and your little confidence in yourself.

DorothyDicx| Crime of Imposing on Those We Love We Protect Those' We Love From Beiné‘ Over- worked by Other People, but Need to Protect Them From Our Own Selfishness SN'T it curious how eager we are to protect a person we love against everybody but ourselves? Take the case of Mrs. A, as ah example. Mrs. A. is a human angel if there is any such animal. She s a model daughter, a devoted wife and mother, the kindest and most sympathetic of friends, and she is literally adored by all who come into close contact] with her. Unfortunately, Mrs. A. is frail and delicate, and she grows frailer and more delicate day by ‘day. she is overworked and that she calls made upon her. She needs rest. It is apparent to the most casual observer that has mot the strength to reet the many She needs respite from responsibility. She needs to have all the burdens lifted from her tired little shoulders and to go off to some quiet place where she can loaf and coddle herself for a while. Her family and friends see that she is fading away before their eves. ‘They are terribly distressed over it, and they are full of blame for the selfishness of others that is literally doing her to death. They wonder how the others can be cruel enough to impose so on her, but they are sure that the few little things that she does for them do her no harm whatever. Mrs. A's old father and mother live with her, They must have certain food prepared in certain ways, eccentricities of age. and they have the because they don't like newfangled cooking. They have a million little fussy “ways” that must be catered to, and they call on Mary a thousand times a day to do little services for them that they might do for themselves or else do without. They also feel that they have the privilege of parents to interfere in the household management and to give endless advice, which makes for continual friction in the kltci.ien-nnd ‘with the children. ALL of this wears on Mary's nerves, but father and mother are not willing to deny themselves the pleasure of fault-finding to save the daughter they really love. “Mary is nothing but a slave to her husband and children; and it is a shame the way they impose upon her,” say Mary's parents. And then mother calls to Mary to find her glasses for her, and bring her knitting, and fix her footstool, and father complains that the new cook can't make pie, and asks Mary to make it herself for dinner, and makes her spend a couple of hours reading aloud to him.

Tn the alder bushes at the upper and of the Smiling Pool, where the Laughing Brook enters it, Little Friend the Song Sparrow was flit- ting about. Now and then he sStop- ped to sing that beautiful little tinkling song of his. Little Friend is such a happy-hearted little fellow that he sings even in those months when the songs of other birds are seldom heard. Peter Rabbit loved Little Friend. as everybody does. Having wat there on the bank of the Smiling_Pool long enough to see the coat of Grandfather Frog change color right before his eves, Peter began to think it was time to move Grandfather Frog was not in- clined to talk any more. He said he had gossiped enough for ome morn- ing. He was intent now on watch- ing for foolish green flies. He sat there motionless. His green coat matched the green of the leaves around him. Had you happened along, not knowing he was there, you probably would not have seen him unless he had jumped. Peter had just about made up his mind to go pay his respects to Little Friend the Song Sparrow when Little Friend came flitting along that way. He was flitting along just above the ground, as is his way. Peter watch- ed him. He opened his mouth to speak just as Little Friend fitted I was wawking home fast this afternoon on account of being late for suppir agen, thinking, Jimminy, I bet 11l get the dickins, ma told me if I was late agen this week something fearse would happin, G wizz, darn it, heck. ‘Wich jest then who did I see wawk- ing fast in front of me but pop, carrying his tennis racket, me quick running up in back of him and say- ing, Hello pop.

Grandfather Frog, who had been sitting 8o still that Peter won- dered if he were asleep, had come to life in the most surprising manner Just as Little Friend had fiitted over “BUT YOU DONT EAT BIRDS!" CRIED PETER. him. He had come to life with an upward jump, and his great mouth had opened and shut with a snap. A feather was sticking out of the corner of Grandfather Frog's big mouth. It was one of the tail feath- ers of Little Friend the Song Spar- row. There was no doubt about 1t— Grandfather Frog had tried to catch Little Friend. Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Peter wouldn't have believed it. “Why, Grandfather Frog!™ orled Peter indignantly. “That was Little Friend the Song Sparrow!" Grandfather Frog looked over toward where Little Friend was in- dignantly scolding over the loss of that tail feather. In those big, BogEly eyes there was a look of dis- appointment. “What of it?" he de- manded. “But you tried to catch him!" cried Peter. “Why not?" Grandfather ¥rog asked. “A lot of people try to catch me, 80 why shouldn’t I try to catch others? He would have made me a very good dinner,” he added with a sigh “But you don't eat birdsr cried Peter. “Not often,” replied Grandfather Frog. “I don’t often get the chance.” “Do you mean to tell me, Grand- father Frog, that when you get the chance you eat them?’ demanded Peter. “A bird is very filling,” repliea Grandfather Frog, looking longingly over at Little Friend the Song Spar- row. And this was all that Peter could get out of him. But it was enough. From what he had seen he knew that a small bird wouldn't be safe too near Grandfather Frog. (Copyright, 1924, by T. W. Burgess.)

New Wall Rack. ‘Whenever I run across a new and little-known household device I feei that it is both my duty and my pleas- ure to tell other home-makers about it. It takes time to introduce a new contrivance through the usual chan- nels of the advertising columns, the department stores and the mouth-to- ear communications of housewives themselves. And so when I learn of same convenience that isn't Yyet widely distributed I try to pass it on. My latest find is a nifty wall rack for towels, drying baby's socks, air- ing lingerie and a hundred other =i THAHA temporary uses in the bathroom or the kitchen. It has all the other towel racks beaten a mile, in my opinion! Its special features are smoothly working invisible hinges. satin-finished wood, which cannot catch on delicate fabrics, and the ad- vantage of folding up flat against the wall when not in use. Like the standing rack, its special value is that it takes up almost no room at all when jdle and the minimum of space when opened out. The base of this rack is a white enameled fixturc only 51 inches in diameter and projecting out from the wall only 2% inch: The five arms move up and down, but not sideways, 50 there is always plenty of air be- tween the towels or garments. One or more of the arms can be used without disturbing the others. The rack is an inconspicuous feature ir. the bathroom, yet it holds a goodly number of drying garments or fresh towels. Another convenient use for this wall rack is that it may be placed near the kitchen range and used to dry wet outer clothing in stormy weather. The arms are strong enough to Nold even a man's heavy overcoat. There are many times when we women need a hanging space near the fire for children’s wet sweaters, wool hose and sopping wet caps and mittens. The average dish- towel rack is not strong enough, and is in use, anyway. Best of all, perhaps, 1s the velvety, ¥rictionless movement of the arms. They are equipped with what the makers call a “lifctime spring.” which prevents them from falling forward unexpectedly and smiting one on the head. They move with the sure, easy touch of ball bearings. As a hom maker, I am glad to have the oppor- tunity to pass on news of & good thing to other women. Graham Fig Muffins. To two well beaten eggs add one cupful of thick sour cream, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one-half a level teaspoonful of salt, one cupful of figs cut in small pieces, and one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little warm water.
