WOMAN’S PAGE. Separate-Skirt Fashion Returns BY MARY ‘The return to fashion of the separate skirt should be cause of satisfaction to women who have to make the it of & slim_dress allowance. 1 do not mean NG e A S ! iy AL P ORANGE-COLORED JERSEY BLOUSE | CHOSEN TO WEAR WITH NEW SEPARATE BROWN TWEED SKIRT, SHOWING NEW HIP YOKE AND FLARING GORES. to indicate that a good-looking separate skirt and a separate blouse may be bought or made at home for any less than an equally good-looking one-piece Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Sometimes with all the right ideas on the subject of child care and dis- cipline, and the best intentions in the ‘world of keeping her temper and teach- ing the child to live in this world that is so fascinating to him, the mother bumps up against the snag of how she can live in comfort with an active, curi- ous and, to her, mischievous child. The child who is “into everything” tests the nce of a saint and few of us be- long in that category. Mrs. S. P. has a solution helpful and usable. She says. y tell you how I have solved the problem of ar extremely active two-year-old? I had a sand box with a four-foot chicken-wire inclosure, but that failed to hold her. She climbed out of it easily. That complicated my problem, as it compelled me to keep her in the house much more than she should have been. “I have only four rooms and with grandmother in one bedroom I had no place but the living room for baby to play in. There were entirely too many things for her to get into, even though I had cleared away as many as possible. It was unusual for me to her on top of the mantel. I tried to keep chairs away, but unfortunately the'yh'ere movable, so that didn’t help much. “I was becoming naggy and nervous. A steady diet of youngster on the man- tel, into the bookcase or upon the radio ‘was proving upsetting. Here is my Temedy: “I went into the bedroom and stripped the dresser (using one drawer for my toilet articles), and I moved out every- thing destructible. There are a bed, dresser and crib left. I moved in all her toys and there she is turned loose. ‘The mirror is usually a mass of finger- grlnt.s and toys are all over the floor, u* we are all happier. My set is a painted one. Now I realize how fortunate that it wasn’t the walnut or mahogany one I so desired. ‘When baby is older this can be repainted and be none the worse.” ‘Those mothers who have written me bemoaning the fact that baby uses the davenport as a race course, likes to sit on top of the gas stove and use all the furniture as ladders might borrow this solution. Also it is well to provide the child of this age with things upon which to climb and hang so that the furniture may be spared, There are ladders sim- ilar to those used in nursery school or doorway “gyms” which can be used even in small homes. It is hard for anxious young housewives to view calmly the devastation of which active children are eapable. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Corn and Tomato Chowder Crackers Rice Pudding with Cream Lemon Snaps Tea. DINNER. Clear “Tomato Soup Stuffed Fresh Shoulder Boiled Macaron! with Cheese Pan Browned Potatoes Cabl and Lettuce Salad Cherry Cheese Coffee. BRAN MUFFINS. One cup flour, two cups bran, six tablespoons molasses, one cup water, one teaspoon sods, one- half teaspoon salt. Mix flour, soda, salt and bran; add rest of recipe and beat flv: minutes. Bake two minutes in moderate oven. CHOWDER. Three cups hot milk, one- quarter pound salt pork, four tablespoons butter, one onion, two cups boiling water, one-half to- mato, two potatoss sliced, two tablespoons flour, two teaspoons salt, one-quarter pepper, one- half can corn, one tablespoon butter, six common crackers. Cut the salt pork into small cubes and fry in frying pan, stirring so as not to burn, then put the onion into the same pan with the pork, and fry slightly. Pour all into kettle in which you are goin[ to make the chowder, add ot water, tomato, potatoes, salt and pepper. Cook until potatoes are tender, add corn and milk. Melt one tablespoon butter and flour, thicken chowder with this. Add crackers moistened with cold water. Cover chowder after add- ing the four tablespoons butter and let stand ten minutes. Do not boll after the cover is put on. STUFFED SHOULDER. Have the shoulder boned, and stuff as you would turkey. Save all the small pleces that will not slice up well. Run through meat chopper, add two potatoes, one-half cup bread crumbs and a little gravy, if you have some left, and salt and pepper. Make into little cakes, dip in bread crumbs, then in beaten eggs, then bread crumbs again, and fry in deep fa MARSHALL. dress. - But it is true that one good- looking ready-made skirt may be worn with two homemade blouses to fill needs in the wardrobe at a surprisingly small outlay. Or one may make the skirt and buy the blouses, if that seems a more satisfactory arrangement. Then there are advantages to the woman who has difficulty in getting satisfactorily pro- portioned one-piece dresses—the woman who is usually low-waisted or unusually high-waisted or the woman whose hips are disproportionately large or small. In lieu of a jacket suit for late Win- ter or Spring wear there are all sorts of ways of combining the separate skirt with a separate jacket of some sort at reasonable cost. One may combine a tweed skirt with hip-length leather coat for cool days or for sports wear, and the same skirt may be worn with & jersey cardigan when a lighter weight wrap is desired. Harmonious effects are always ob- tained by wearing a separate blouse of & color to match the skirt, or of a lighter tone of the same color, but this season there is a tendency to combine colors in a more striking way. Lime, which is a light yellowish green, is worn with black or navy blue, while ger;'c'}lll or_bois de rose is smart with A smart wearable sports cap for cool weather may be made at home from soft woolen material or velvet. This week’s circular gives a diagram pattern for a cap of this sort which you will find appropriate for a child or young giri.

Melt six tablespoonfuls of butter, add six tablespoonfuls of flour and blend thorcughly. Add two cupfuls of milk gradually and cook until thick, stirring constantly. Add two cupfuls of minced lamb, two tablespoonful of minced onion, salt, pepper and half a teaspoonful of poultry seasoning, then cool slightly. Then add one cupful of mashed potato, spread on a shallow dish and chill. Form into croquettes, roll in flour, slightly beaten egg, and sifted bread crumbs. Fry in deep fat. Serve with c:lery and olive sauce or any preferred sauce. NANCY PAGE Soft Hands Require Constant Care. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘Winter time, housework and pretty, soft hands do not go together. Nancy was finding this out. Her hands chap- ped and grew red and unattractive in began to wear rubber gloves about the housework, but found that more care than that was needed. She made a lotion of equal parts of rose water and glycerin and kept that on a shelf right over the sink. Nearby was some corn meal in a shaker bottle, She used a regulation saltshaker. ° ‘When the dishes were done she her hands with mild soap. Then she rubbed in the lotion and sprinkled her hands with the corn meal. After rubbing them together for a few minutes she wiped off the corn meal with a towel. ‘When her hands were discolored she used a paste made of three parts corn meal, two parts lemon juice and enough Tose water to make a paste, She rub- bed this on her hands and let it stay for about 10 minutes. Nancy had long since learned the trick of putting a towel about her head before she began to do anything to her face or neck. This kept ends of hair from straying into the cola cream, astringent or muscle oil She trained herself to massage her neck and throat every night. She used three ounces camphor water mixed with one ounce rose water. She put this on the neck and then placed her thumbs at center of throat, fingers at back of neck and drew thumbs up toward ears while she rubbed nape of neck. It took practice to do the two motions simultaneously. Write to Nancy Page. care of this paper, inclosing & ped cel{-addressed envelope. Ak Tor ner leafier ‘on Bridge Luncheons.

CALIFORNIA THE EVENING STAR, Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. January 14, 1856.—“It fell to our lot lately to follow in the wake of a beau- tiful miss who, encumbered with a hoop of the largest caliber, was endeav- oring to work her way through w; nar- row passage in a snow drift,” tes a reporter in The Evening Star today, under the heading “A Fact for the Bloomer."” “She had a.time of it!” continues the reporter. “The philanthropic digger of the path had evidently not calcu- lated upon the contingency of a lady's hoop going through—and go through it would not. So the lady raised the hoop and its surroundings just a trifle and tried again, developing by the movement a neatly turned ankle and a perceptible trace of embroidered skirt, which, as we are partial to the ladies, we did not object to. “But as the drift deepened it became painfully evident that a retreat was in- evitable, and retreat she did, blushing like & peony; and thus was this young lady compeiled to make a circumbendi-~ bus of two or thre: squares because she wore the hoop instead of the bloomer costume.” On the first page of today's Star is another article of considerable length, headed “A Letter From the Bloomer." The writer proclaims her intention to wear masculine habiliments and “evi- dently considers herself something of a martyr,” comments The Star editorially. “As it is admitted by all that martyr- dom is a source of soul comfort,” con- tinues the editor, “we shall not aim-an- other ‘poisonous arrow’ at her short skirts, but let her ‘bear her cross' and her ‘bloomer’ as best pleases her.” Sleighing ih Washington has_been brought up with a short turn. It has become dangerous to drive a horse on the streets behind any sort of a vehicle, in consequence of the treacherous holes in the half-frozen ice and snow. The dammed-up ice water is overflowing onto the streets and pavements, and unless the gutters are cleared out soon, there is danger that & hard freeze will make walking and driving here more difficult than it has been at any time heretofore during this Winter. Nut and Fruit Tarts. Bake some little tartlets of puff paste in heart-shaped or fluted molds, with a filling of dry rive to keep them from pufing up. When baked, emfity out the rice and fill the pastry shells half full of strawberry or apricot jam, and pile high with whipped cream. Use strips of candied orange or grapefruit peel to simulate the handle of a basket.

Meening better, and I sed, Well G, I tell you lets what! lets go in and just smell around a while, and when they ask us what we wunt we can ask for something they havent got, such as like pickled apricotts. G, sure, pickled apricotts, Puds sed. And we went in and it smelt grate in there, smelling half like sowerkraut and half like different other things, and me and Puds was quick wawking around smelling out loud not waisting any time, and the man came from in back of the counter saying, Well, what is it what are you kids looking for? Being a grate big man with a red face and a unsattisfied ixpression, not look- ing like somebody you would wunt to ask for pickled apricotts, and I looked at Puds and he was looking at me, neither of us saying anything. and the man gave me a poke saying, Well, well? Have you got any medium size pret- zels? I sed, and he sed, How many, a pound? Proving he had some, and I sed, What? I gess so, I sed. And he went and started to way them, and me and Puds started to feel in all our pockits like 2 peeple looking for money and not finding it, me saying, Hay mister wait a minnit, we dont seem to be able to find our money. O, get out before I chuck you out, I thawt you was kind of crazy all along, the man sed. And we quick went out and kepp on wawking, me saying, O well, I bet theres flower stores. Jugged Rabbit.

Add one chopped onion, one bay leaf, two cloves, three allspice, one teaspoonful of salt and a pinch of pepper. Cover and simmer for one and one-half hours, then add one teaspoonful of lemon juice. Arrange on a platter and strain the juice over it. Serve with a dish of bolled rice. FEATURES.

There's that famous 18-day affair that’s swept the country recently. There's the baked- potato-and-skim-milk diet. There are diets to eliminate all fat and others to concentrate on vegetables, others of scratchy foods, and still others of foods predigested and made into the moist consistency that the English call “slops” contemptuously. You have to know what to eat, that's the worst part of it. A friend of mine tried to clear her skin of red marks, which she thought ordinary acne, by living all last Summer on vegetables and fruit. As it hlprenfid, she had colitls, and the vegetables, acidy fruit and scratchy bran that she consumed were the worst things she could have eaten.
