WOMAN’S PAGE. Preparations for Easter Decorations and Refreshments Are Among Fea- | tures Which Require Special Attention From Housewife—Making the Home Attrac- tive for Children. lene ta all the flowers that themselves to cffective ble decorations, tulips are among the best. o col- ored tulips and pale pink can form the basis of & lovely tu table decoration when arranged in bowl of clear glass—not cut glas : that would be too heavy—and raise on a black stand. 1 gine a roun table of polished mahogany set fo four persons, with a couple of run ners of filne hand-woven linen, em broldered with cross-stitch in rose colored silk, and placed so that thex cross in the center and fall over the edge of the table at the ends. The plates are placed on the runners an: table mats can be dispensed with. Thr Tose color of the tulips can be jepeated in the candle shades. A pretty and easily arranged Eas ter table centerplece is an imitation of a duck pond. Place in the center of the table a round table mirror. Conceal its edges with violets and tufts of grass. Flace upon the mirror and at the sides some downy toy ducklings. Flower Baskets and Pots. Baskets specially suited for the arrangement of Easter flowers, and a novelty is a small basket of the same shape, but a jlttle higher than a tumbler, with a high handle. They are designed with the idea that an ordinary tumbler can be placed in them and filled with water for hold- ing cut flowers. They are easy to make and can be woven from natural or colored rafia or other basket strands. delightful scheme is formed by placing three or four of these baskets down the middle of a narrow table and filled with daffodils and their leaves and the handles twined with fvy These baskets may also be palnted zold if you wish and be filled with lilies of ‘the valley or vlolets, with a bow of pale green or mauve taffeta ribb ed on the handle of each one There are pretty flower vases in the shape of old celery glasses which can be bought in molded glass, and these are an ideal shape for holding of the Spring bulb flowers, such as tulips, narcissi and daffodils. Tulips in mixed colors are charming for table or room decoration, placed either one of these vases or in gray-green pottery Women are often puzzled how to arrange the small Spring flowers, such as violets and snow drops, because they do not own vases of the right shape.

Let stand for a day or so, then lay blot- ting paper over the spot and press with a hot iron. Cane-bottomed chairs should be brushed to remove all dust and then washed with salt and water and placed in the open air to dry. Art muslin curtains should never be washed In warm water.

The most ordinary flower pot be made very attractive by simply giving it a coat of green enam paint. If you will use the same kind of enamel that is used for re-enamel- ing bicycles you will find that the flower pots will look fully as neat and pretty as pottery vases, and plants will show off to good advantage in them. Flower pots done in this way look well any room, window or | porch. When using bicycle enamel you will find that it will wear well and stand any amount of rain or other water.

TFor a centerplece yel- Jow flowers are very appropriate if the guests are adults, but for chil- dren, who hold this occasion almost as dear as Christmas, the fluffy chicks and ducks are almost indispensable. A unique centerplece may be made by fashioning a small charfot from an orange skin or egg shell. Hoilow out and 1 ve an opening for two small chicks. Wheels may be made with lemon slices and toothpicks. In front of this wee chariot place sev- eral pairs of ducks, driven by nar- row vellow ribbon Bunny Cakes.—Make a yellow cake and ice it white. Upon each square or each individual piece place a marshmallow bunny. Stick in long ears made from candie pineapple. These cakes are very casy to make. Easter Nests.—Make some orange gelatin_ and when very firm chop it in small cubes. Fill halves of hol- lowed out orange skins and in the ter place an egg of white blanc nge or ice cream. Easter Loaf for Chlldren.—Some bread cut in the shape of a funny rabbit and a tree was exhibit- ed by a grocer, who placed it in a show window. The same can easily be made at home for children by any one used to handling dough. The bread was not thicker than a thick cooky and was cut in the form of & tree trunk, with part of a branch at the top. At the base the dough had been pulled out to form a sort of est appearance and a big pink erg inserted in it before baking. The rabbit was standing on his hind legs nd leaning one forepaw against the tree in a realistic attitude A dried currant formed his eve, although a small raisin would have been better to use. The loaf was slightly glazed with milk to give a pretty crust. It was about a foot in height d al- most as wide. Easter Trifle—Separate the whites from the yolks of four eggs, whip up the whites to a very stiff froth, and stir in very lightly one table- spoonful of sugar. Put two cupfuls of milk in a saucepan, with one tea- spoonful of vanilla and a tablespoon- ful of sugar. When boiling, drdp into it the whites formed Into egg shapes by means of two tablespoons, allow them to cook on one side, then gently turn them over, about one and one-half minutes on each side will be enough. Lift them gently out onto a sieve to drain. When all are poached, beat up the volks of the eggs and add one cupful of milk in which the egg whites have been poached. Pour into a saucepan and stir until the custard thickens. Ar- range lady fingers or sponge cake cut in slices at the bottom of a glass dish and spread over with jam or jelly. Continue this until the dish is nearly full. Add a few drops of red cologing to the custard and strain over the lady fingers or cake. Ar- range the egg balls round the dish and high in the center. Sprinkle over with chopped pistachio nuts or leave white, according to taste. Jaster Confections. Peppermint Honey Taffy—Boll to- gether one-half a cupful of honey, one-half a cupful of sirup, one cup- ful of sugar, onc tablespoonful of butter and one teaspoonful of vinegar. When little of the mixture will harden in cold water, remove the whole from the fire and beat into it one teaspoonful of essence of pepper- mint. Pour the candy into a buttered platter. As soon as it is sufficiently cool, butter the hands and pull it Then cut the taffy into pleces and wrap the pieces in squares of but- tered white paper.

THE WINDWARD PASSAGE, Janu- ary 30.—Morning finds us {n the quiet waters of the Windward Passage be- tween Cuba and Haiti and rapidly that romantic bit of rippling sapphire where sailed the caravels of Colum- bus, the Golden Hind of Drake and the gallant galleons of the Dons. During the night we dodged among the blinking lighthouses of the Ba- hama: or “Bootlegger Islands” as they are now known. Off our starboard about three miles is Cape Maysl, Cuba, with the hulk- ing Sierra Maestra in blurred outline behind. On the beach at the foot of the lighthouse is the huge wreck of » ship with her nose almost rubbing the tower. How boat can run ashore into the very ri of a light- house is a mystery which the insur- ance company must solve. You know they have “insurance wrecks” on water, much the same as we have fires on land. To the left stretches Halti—the anto Domingo” of Columbus—and farther eastward scatter the Lesser | Antilles and the Virgins, so called by the old navigator when he sighted these jewel islets on his second vo: age and, despairing of finding saints’ names for all of them, calied them collectively “The Virgins” in honor of the 10.600 companions of St. Ursula. Soon, however, the Virgins becams wedded to the buccaneers—those fierce sea rovers who sailed Caribbean and ravaged the Spanish Main. They were dare-devil spirits, these villainous old corsairs—daring and dastardly: they were as cruel as they were courageous, and as devold of mercy as they were of fear. They the | RIPLEY, THe FoRE FAHER OF THE RAT-CHECK BOY jwere ruthless—but romantic; and so they tinged the fringe of the Carrib- bean blood-red—and the color lasts {even yet Santo Domingo was the birthplace of the buccaneers. The Island of Tortuga, which we passed early this morning, was the birthplace of the word “buccaneers.” The true mean- ling of the word is not worthy of the |men who wore it. At that time on Tortuga the principal article of food was the smoke-dried flesh of wild |pigs—a product peculiar to the | neighboring islands and known by the Carib name of ‘‘buccan, or what | we call bacon As a result the inhabitants soon became known as “buccaneers"—in | other words, “baconeers.” i Among these islands, and not so far away, is Porto Rico, which is an American possession; and a little | farther on is another of our islands— |St. Thomas, where bay rum comes | from.
