WOMAN’S -PAGE. Seeking New Tene for Elegance BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘The all-black evening dress has again come into favor with the younger set. ‘This revival is part and parcel with the passing of flapper fashions’and the in- creasing determination on the part of young girls, as weil as their older sisters and their mammas, to wear clothes that carry with them a tone of elegance. Some mothers seriously discourage any desire on the part of their younger daughters to wear black. Black to some GIRLS IN THEIR TEENS WILL AP- PROVE OF THIS EVENING FROCK IN RED VELVET. ‘women seems somber, old, sophisticated, inappropriate to youth. And yet there are young girls Who never lpok more charming, more appealing or more de- mure than in a simply-made, carefully- selected black evening dress, This is especially true of the girl who is blessed with a radiant coloring. For the dark- haired young girl whose complexion is pale or sallow and who is rather too slender, some one of the new evening colors is a better selection. ‘The black evening dress for the younger girl should be of simple design, and the effect should not be marred, by an abundance of jewelry. A necklace of small pearls is quite enough, and even this may be omitted. The effect becomes too sophisticated when ear- and bracelets are added. The Now that Christmas is less than 10 | weeks off, you should begin to busy | yourself making Christmas presents, and if you would like to have the pat- tern of a charming little step-in that any girl would like to have, please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Mary Marshall, care of this paper, for this week's {llustrated circular giving sketch and directions for making.

' DIET AND HEALTH BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D. Insulin. ‘Mrs. G.—Insulin is a normal internal secretion of the ancru.s, having to do with the chemistry of carbohydrates (sugars snd starches) in the body, and the reason the injections of prepared insulin are so helpful in diabetes is that 1t supplies what the patient’s own pan- creas is falling to supply. The insulin that is manufactured by pharmaceuti- cal houses is made from certain por- tions of animal pancreas of cattle and 0gs. Insulin was discovered by Dr. Banting and his associates of the University of Toronto in 1921, through work yhich was carried out on dogs. Dr. Banting received the Nobel prize in medicine for this discovery. It has saved thousands of lives. “ It is not claimed to be a cure for diabetes, but through its use pa- tients can have a much more varied diet and in this way the general health is greatly improved. You know, don’t you, that diabetes is extremely common in the overweight? Yes, 90 per cent of the diabetics have been overweight before the pancreas goes on strike. They get thin enough after they get diabetes! Miss S.—All scars are inflamed look- ing for a while, and sometimes it takes many months for the discoloration to subside.

Pop was eating his egg this morning | looking as if he wished he was still in | | bed or some place, and I was eating my oatmeal wishing it was still vaca- tion or at least Sattiday anyways, and pop sed, Confound it, this is no kind of a day to haff to go to werk, with the sun shining and the clouds flying and the berds tripping laffingly on the breezes, this is the kind of day for a man to be working briskly in the pure air and filling his lungs with fragrant tobacco smoke. Well G, pop, how about having to g0 to skool, you dont think-thats fun, do you? I sed. At least its educational, but did you ever spend 20 golden minutes dictating an important letter to a fish face, ab- sent minded stenographer and then have her hand it to you with a sweet smile all wrong from start to finish ! full of misplaced commas and broken down spelling? pop sed. No sir, but did you ever sit still all day like a frogen icicle without saying a single werd and then just say 2 werds to the fellow in-the next seat and have the teecher see you do it and keep yau’ in a hour for tawking? I sed. Perhaps and perhaps not, but surely thats not as excruciating as having some unwelcome hippopotamist drop in at lunch time and sit all over your desk tawking meeningless drivel until you either haff to drag him out to juntch with you or go without eating, pop_sed. Well G wizz that aint as bad as sneezing all your mite because you couldn’t help it and having the teecher accuse you of doing it on perpose to make everybody laff, and just on ac- count of that hafl 1o keep sitting at your desk all during recess time, I sed. Well, perhaps not, pop sed. The fact of the matter seems to be that from the cradle to the grave there is no absi- lutely perfeck time of life. What do you think? he sad. 1 gess not, I sed, and he sed, Perhaps if I give you an exter nickel for recess it may make us both feel better. Wich he gave me one and it made me feel better anyways.

Do not waste the vegetable water, but serve it with the vegetables or save it for soups or gravies, It is better to steam vegetables, particularly the green or leafy ones, to prevent loss of minerals. Cook - strongly flavored vegetables without the. cover on, so that the volatile substance may pass off. Peas and carrots should also be cooked without the cover, since they keep their color better. Vegetables should be cooked until tender, but no longer. Overcooked, soggy vegetables are not only apt to be unpalatable and difficult to digest, but the vitamins, particularly vitamin C, are apt to be destroyed.

Today in _ Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. October 15, 1861 —The Federal steam- ers Yankee and Jacob Bell arrived at the Navy Yard late tonight from Indian Head. Their officers report that the Seminole was fired at in the Potomac River this afternoon by the Confederate battery at Shipping Point, Va. The Seminole returned the fire and 40 or 50 shots were exchanged without any- body being hurt. An officer of the Jacob Bell, who has carefully reconnoitered the Confederate battery on the Virginia 'side of the Potomac River at Shipping t, says there are six guns in position, all ap- parently heavy ordnance. The Poto- nz‘udc River at that point is about 1 mile wide. Rumors have been circulated here re- cently that the Confederates have “six miles of batteries” on the Virginia shore of the river below Shipping Point, but Federal officers here believe the report is incorrect. They say vessels might be annoyed by batteries from the Virginia | shore for a mile below Shipping Point— | as far as Evansport—but below that place the Virginia shore recedes from the channel and the river is so wide that batteries would be useless even if they were in place there. It is believed by the Federal authorities that not more than 16 or 18 Confederate guns are in position from Shipping Point to Evansport. ‘The Pawnee, Harriet Lane and Yan- kee left- here tonight and went down | the river. The Anacostia has had her boilers put aboard at the yard and is | rapidly being fitted up for active service. | There are 1800 men at work at the Navy Yard. All the naval guns at the yard are being rifled. At the ordrance foundry only brass rleces are being cast, 12-pounders for the most part. About one ton of iron | per day is being used at this foundry in the manufacture of shot and shell. At the iron foundry during the past six weeks about 10 tons of iron per day on the average have been used in making shot, shell, grape and canister. The laboratory is busy making percussion powder. . ‘The seamen at the Navy Yard are being drilled every day in skirmish practice with muskets, and also in artil- lery practice. The “old salts” seem to be enjoying the novelty. - Cranberry Jelly. Eight pounds (eight quarts) cran- berries and two and one-half pounds sugar will make ten glasses. g Cook cranberries until soft—with 3 cups water for each 8 cups berries. Strain the juice through a jelly bag. Measure juice and heat to boiling |point. Add one cup sugar for each 2 cups juice; stir until sugar is dissolved; boil briskly for 5 minutes. Pour into glass tumblers, porcelain or crockery molds and cover with paraffin. Cranberry jelly is very similar to cur- rent jelly and is delicious when served with game or as a spread for bread or toast. Try cranberry jelly and cream s?tes? with crackers and coffee after inner.
