WOMAN'S PAGE Belts for Various Color Schemes BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. There are many developments in fashions in belts that the home neediewoman will find Some styles can be made to exactly fit color schemes or modes in dresses when there is diMculty in finding Telts to match or blend with them Or it may be that reasons of economy are responsible for the making of such attractive accessories. The cuestion of whether belts will be wide or narrow undecided. Some women prefer wide and soma the narrow kind praferance may be followed, which- ever it is. with a degree of satis- faction, for each model is in vogue The decision as to one or the othar often lies in the kind of belt that any special costume requires.

Sometimes but a single wound cord is used for a belt. The fastening may be by means of a circle covered with any one cf the shades in the belt, or of black.

Before ever we ses the bloodroot flowers we first behold the young plants pushing up through the rich dark loam of the woods along the upper Potomac early In March. The single blue green, lobed and heart- shaped leaf arises coiled and slender, and looking like a banner not vet unfurled. Then, when it is half un- loosed, the flower stalk, which has been concealed inside the furls, shoots up and bears, high above the leaf, a single large white flower. Of the 8 to 12 gleaming white petals, half are generally alternately narrower. so that the whole flower has a curious four-sided or cross-like shape. Early in the morning all the petals lie as flat as a plate; by noon the gently rise all around, like the side: of a saucer, and by evening they are completely erect and have closed to- gether, fast asleep! After the flowers have vanished 2 slim pod grows erect in its place. And now the leaf outstrips the old flower stem and, growing high above it, expands its elegant cup-shaped surface for the rest of the season, marking all Summer the spot where, in early Spring, the magic flower bloomed. It is hard to imagine that the blood- root, %o innocent a flower, ever had anything to do wih war and slaughter. But time was when the redmen dug It for its roots. Out of | should also be considered.

While it comes in a variety of materials and with minor deviations in type, the kind that 1 shall describe will be found easy to make and practical. It ronsists of a length of silk or other fabric cord tubing wound with three colors of soutache braid of contrast- Ing shades. In the middle the tubing bends back on itself to make the sec- ond coil sewed to the first, to give width to the belt. This makes a loop to fasten over a large fancy bead xewed to the other ends, neatly fin- ished. The soutache forms an even spiral with 1 ch at least between the band \( tricolors wound to appear like diagonal stripes on the belt. The tubing is firm, as it consists of a these flows a brilllant orange dye, and, with this color, the Indians smeared the face and body, to the ac- companiment of war whoops and brandished tomahawks, before they set upon the Invading palefaces. Then came the early pioneers. The hardy women of those davs employed the dye for the old rugs and bed- spreads that are coming back to favor in these days. Jam Souffle. One-Lalf cup milk, two tablespoon- fuls butter, two tablespoonfuls sugar, one-half cup boiling water, one-half cup flour, two eggs. Separate the whites and yolks of the eggs. Com- bine the butter, boiling water and the flour and cook well together. Stir in the milk, add the sugar and when the mixture is beginning to cook add the beaten yvolks of the eggs. Beat all together and fold in the stifly beaten whites of the eggs. Have ready a pudding dish containing a generous layer of any preferred jam. Pour the custard mixtura over _his and place the dish in a pan of water and bake very thick cotton cord coversd with tha material.

So, very sadly, they made a lovely glass case to put her in and this they set on & rock mear where they worked so they could always watch her. One day a king's son traveling that way came upon the glass case. When he saw the beautiful dead Snow-White he wanted to buy the glass case and the statue-like maiden. The dwarfs, however, refused to sell. He declared he couldn't live without seeing her, and the dwarts finally gave in. So the prince ordered hix attend- ants to carry the case away, Color the handsome prince’s suit bright green with hat to match, and make his plume red. His hair should be brown. (Copyright, 1825.)
