WOMAN’S PAGE. Cocarde-Trimmed Spring Hats BY MARY Cocardes, the milliners call them, which is just the Prench way of saying cockade. " But whatever you call them, the fact remains that they are an in- tferesting sort of trimming device that has for many years occupied a signifi- cant place on military hats of various sorts. Maybe the fashlon for wearing cocardes first arose in Spain. At any | :! and presumed the most of them- Bt And so you, too, may feel a HNttle :lvndzrflmudnmrdewywr pring hat. And you will have reason MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Curling Without Heat. During the last few years; in fact, since permanent waving has become widesp finger-waving and comb- w-vlnxm hn;; bemme'lmuemendoull{ popular. ‘omen permanent waves, those with naturally wavy hair and some with straight hair have wel- comed the idea of keeping their coif- fures in curl without resorting to hot Water-waving, as commonly prac- ticed, has not, however, turned out to be #n unmixed blessing. Superficially Massage under the light one might think that there could be nothing at all harmful to hair or scalp in setting waves with water (or a curl- ing fluid), but the trouble with this sys- tem of waving is that most of those who use it are so anxious to keep the waves in as long as possible that they reglect daily scalp massage and brush ing. The natural result is that dan- druff accumulates, the hair loses its healthful sheen and becomes stringy and scanty. There are ways of counteracting these 11l effects for those who realize the im- portance of protecting the health of . Pirst and foremost is daily scalp massage. This need not dis- turb the water wave. A car>ful upward brushing of the hair is a daily neces- sity. The brush should penetrate to the scalp and upward through the under side of the hair. The waved surface hair need not be brushed daily. This treatment will not only benefit the scalp but will make the hair appear m«ve abundant and fluffy Once a week the scalp should have a stimulating treatment and shampoo. Begin by dividing the hair into small strands and give each a thorough brushing all around. For bobbed hair, It can’t MARSHALL. to feel o, for this is one of the newest and smartest of trimmings. For a black cocarde you will need a small circle of black canvas a little smaller than the | size you have chosen for your finished | ornament, about 2 inches in diameter. ‘The ribbon should not be more than an inch wide for the type of cocarde shown in the sketch. Black grosgrain or taf- feta ribbon should be chosen. Lay it in narrow, flat pleats and baste them down and then press under a damp cloth. Fast:n three rows of pleating on the canvas base, sewing down the outside row first, lapping the lower edge of the pleats to fit the circle. A flat knot of ribbons may be placed in the center to hide the inner pleating. ‘There should be two ends of the ribbon attached to the lower side of the cocarde in the traditional manner. The new. way of placing the cocarde is just under the brim of the hat at the left side, with the ends of the orna- ment falling coquettishly over the eye. FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. Real Boston baked beans are difficult to prepare in our modern gas ovens. Some women prefer, therefore, canned baked beans to the kind they can pre- pare at home. Some cook beans in the Winter quite satisfactorily by leaving the bean pot on a ledge inside the fur- nace door. This is a nuisance, as the pot has to be removed every time coal is put on the fire. It is, of course, possible to bake beans in a gas oven. Begin in the regular way—soak the beans, after plcking over and washing, all night. Then next morning put them in a kettle with hot water to cover. Let them come to a boil. Now proceed differently from the | regular bean-pot method. Pour off this water, add fresh hot water, and boil very slowly, so that the beans do not split for several hours, until they are quite tender. Now skim out the beans and put them in a bean pot. Fill it up with the water in which they are boiled. Cover the top with strips of salt pork—three- quarters of a pound to a good sized bean pot. Add a tablespoonful of molasses and place in the gas oven. ‘The next thing to do is to leave the pot in the oven long enough. The old- fashioned New England way was to leave the bean pot in the oven all day and then in a cooler oven all night. They were ready to eat next morning. But with our gas ovens the heat of 24 hours would be too much. So leave the beans in the oven with the heat on moderately for a couple of hours. Then, | without opening the oven door, turn off | the heat and let the beans stay in the oven for an hour. Then epply heat | fcr half an hour. Then turn it off and leave the beans in the oven an hour more. Do this all day. Make the oven | useful for other cooking, and the ex- pense need not be counted all against | the beans. Cooked in this way they will be delicious. —_ Candlesticks. ‘To have candles fit into candlesticks dip them into hot water and then press into the sticks. Hold in place until the wax has hardened. the brushing may be done with a plir: of military brushes. Have the bristles |come in contact with the scalp at the | beginning of each stroke. An application of warm olive ol is next in order whether the hair is dry or oily. If a suitable electric heating bulb or infra-red electric lamp is available it may be used to heat the scalp. Hold the lamp a few inches from the scalp I-nd move it from place to place while | g the scalp with the other hand. The heat should be moderate. Now put down the lamp and massage | with both hands, moving the scalp with & rotary motion over the skull. Mas- ! sage the back of the neck and down the spin: The shampoo with a suitable sham. poo liquid follows. Lather and rinse | the hair until the oil is removed—about | five times Rinse thoroughly and rub | the hair partially dry. Divide the hair with numerous partings and apply a scalp stimulant with a pledget of gauze- covered absorbent cotton. Here is a simple recipe: 2 ounces distilled water, | | 2 ounces bay rum, 3 drams fluld of ex- | | tract of capsicum’and 1 dram tincture of cantharides. Wait at least five minutes, then pro. ceed to water-wave the hair. A curling fluid may be used or else more water. In finger-waving the hair must be sop- | | ping_wet before the waving is begun. | When the hair is naturally wavy and combs are used the hair need not be quite 50 wet. Adjust a net over the| hair and pinch the ridges to make the | waves deep. Dry the hair well before removing the net. . Salmon Cutlets. Four tablespoonfuls butter, six table- spoonfuls flour, two cupfuls milk, one- half teaspoonful salt, one-fourth tea- spoonful paprika, two tablespoonful chopped celery, one tablespoonful chop- ped parsley, one cupful salmon, two egg ; yelks, one tablespoonful water and one |and cne-half cupfuls rolled cracker or |bread crumbs. Melt butter and add | |flour. When blended, add milk and| cook until very thick sauce forms. Stir | constantly. Add salt, paprika, celery, | parsley and salmon. Beat one minute. | Cool. Drop tablespoonfuls of mixture | into crumbs, then in egg Which has been mixed with water and again in crumbs. Shape like cutlets. Place or platter and chill.

By gollies_thats just the way ‘I felt about him, I sware I know that chap, but who is he and where did I meet him? pop sed. And he terned around to look back just when the man was terning around to look back at him, and they both stopped and started to wawk tords each other with their hands out to shake, the man saying, Well well, I thawt I reckonized you but for a moment I wasent quite sure. I was in just the same fix, thats quite a coincidents, pop sed. How age you? he sed, and the man sed, Tip top thanks, how have you been? Oh K, I cant think of a thing to complain about except a genrel short- ness of breth and money, pop sed. Well, Im glad to see you looking so well, he sed. The same here, youre looking fit as a fiddle, the man sed. Neither one of them saying each others name, proving they dident remember who they was even yet, and they kepp on looking at each other like 2 men wondering what they was trying to remember, pop say- ing, Is your family all well? My grandfather is all the family Ive got, and he's quite well, the other man sed, and pop sed, O yes, I bleeve I re- member, quitz an old gentleman, iz- zent he? Well yes, he's passed his prime, Im afraid, the other man sed.

Do you meen to say youre not Sam Tibbits? the other man sed, and pop s2d, On_the contrary, Im Willy Potts. Do you meen to say yo Fred Jarvis? he sed, and the other man sed, Quite the reverse, Im Phil Acton. And they both held out their hands again, pop saying, Please to meet you, Mr. Acton, and the other man saying Enchanted to make your aquaintance, Mr. Potts, see you again some time. Rite O, pop sed. and we kepp on going, me saying, Who is Fred Jarvis, pop? and pop saying, I never herd of him, but I wasent going to let that ch;p think he knows more people than 1 do.

Flowers in Pots. ‘We have always recognized the deco- rative possibilities of flowers, both cut and growing. But perhaps never better than we .do today. For we choose our flowers and plants now not just because they are beautiful in themselves, but because they harmonize with their sur- roundings—and enhance the beauty of ours. I remember in my childhood seeing quite pretentious displays of potted lants ranged on wire or iron stands fore the sunny windows. The plants themselves were beautiful. But I never liked them very much, for they seemed to me to be—as they really were—clut- tering and in the way. ‘The plant lover now manages to keep her love, and her plants, within bounds. She ranges pots of her favorites in rows on little shelves bullt across the win- dows just for the purpose of holding them. The shelves are painted to match the other woodwork of the room, or are enameled in black or siiver to give a colorful bit of contrast. | Window boxes are still often used to |add to the charm both indoors and out |of our windows. They are filled, at this time of the year, if they are out- doors, with pansies and English daisies, perhaps. Later on we put begonias and heliotrope, in a lovely pink and lavender color scheme, in them, or red geraniums and green leaf plants. Or some other | interesting combination of Midsummer | coloring. Indoor window boxes need attention | at this time of year. It is better if their | contents are taken outdoors when gar- |den weather is established. The pots | may be sunk in the ground, if the plants |are in pots. If they are just in the | | window box, they should be unearthed and planted in favorable spots in the garden for the Summer. Tomato Jelly Salad. | Two tablespoonfuls granulated gela- | tin, four tablespoonfuls cold water, two cupfuls tomatoes, one-half cupful hot | water, one teaspoonful salt, one-fourth ‘unupcon(ul pepper, two bay leaves, | three celery leaves, two slices onions, |four whole cloves, two tablespoonfuls | chopped green peppers and one-half Soak gelatin in Heat to bolling point and pour over | Pour into individual molds rinsed out |of cold water. Set in cold place to stiffen. Unmold on lettuce and sur- . round with mayonnaise. IS IT SUCH Yes, Oxydol suds come up at the swishing of your hand in ordinary warm water. They're not like those soaps that dissolve so slowly. Not like puffy soaps either, whose suds go off into thin air! Put Oxydol suds to work soak- ing the dirt out of your clothes, and your washday tune’ll be— “And I’'m not a-going to rub no more, no more.” 'LL MAKE IT—in plenty of time!” You can always make plans to do something before lunch if you have an Oxydol washday. Because it ends at least an hour earlier. No long soaking. Oxydol suds will have the dirt loose before the water is cold. No hard rubbing. Oxydol’s richer, hard-working suds get the dirt so loose, that the machine only has to run hali-time! And my, how proud you'll be of your clothes when you're wringing them! FEATURES, ft and guile we may attain hich by strength we cannot gain. —Mrs. Speckles the Starling. Mrs. Speckles is an opportunist. An opportunist is, you know, one who is always ready to take advantage of op- portunity and make the most of it, regardless of right and wrong. Such people are likely to be crafty and filled with guilt. Mrs. Speckles the Starling is that kind. The rights of others mean nothing to her. Her chief con- she wants it. It is nothing to her that a house has been made in a certain family among her feathered neighbors for many years. If she wants that house and has a chance to take pos- session, she doesn’t hesitate to do so. ‘This is one reason that she and Speckles are heartily disliked in the Old | Orchard and everywhere else where they have neighbors. Now, Mrs. Speckles had been aiding | the Flicker, but all the time she had | been keeping a watchful eye on Mrs. BEDTIME STORIES By Thornton W. Burgess. Poor Mrs. Yellow Wing. She knew just how great an advantage Mrs. Speckles now held. She knew, too, | how crafty Mrs. Speckles had been. | She knew also how foolish she her- | self had been in leaving that house unguarded for a single minute. With |an angry cry she dashed for that doore way, alighting just below it and strik- | ing with all her might at Mrs. Speckles. | The latter merely withdrew her head cern is to get what she wants when | Speckles in his fight with Yellow Wing | | Yellow Wing sitting in the doorway of | | her new home and screaming_excitedly as she watched the battle. When she | |saw Yellow Wing getting the worst of |it. for he was fighting two, she forgot | | everything but a great desire to take | part in that battle and help drive those | Starlings away. Down she flew to Yel- | Tow Wing’s aid. |. Now this was just what Mrs. Speckles had been hoping and watching for. The instant Mrs. Yellow Wing left that hole in the telegraph pole and started down |to ald her mate, Mrs. Speckles started up. She deserted Speckles and made | straight for that doorway Mrs. Yellow | Wing had just left. “Speckles doesn't nmeed my help,” thought she. “He can always fly away if they are too much for him. He is quicker in the air than they are and | he can keep them busy without my help. Meanwhile I'll get possession of that house, and once I am in it, let them get me out if they can.” | . So it was that by the time Mrs. Yel- |low Wing had joined in the fight on the ground, Mrs. Speckles was occupy- ing her former place in the doorway of that new house he and Mrs. Yel- low Wing had worked so hard to cut |out in the telegraph pole. Now that [me tables were turned and Speckles found that the odds against him were two to one, he withdrew from the fight, or at least pretended to. Yellow Wing followed him. Mrs. Yellow Wing, with | hi a scream of triumph, made a final dash at him and then turned to go back to that precious home. There sat Mrs. Speckles in the doorway, quite filling it. Her eyes fairly snapped with tri- umph “CUNNING | “IT I8 TOO BAD,” SAID WELCOME ROBIN TO MRS. ROBIN. |and Mrs, Yellow Wing missed. She realized then how difficult, if not im- possible. it was going to be to get Mrs. Speckles out. Meanwhile Speckles had been aware | ot all that was going on. Being quicker (of wing than Yellow Wing, he dodged | the latter and flew back to attack Mrs, Yellow Wing as she clung to that tele- graph pole. So flerce was his attack and so much at a disadvantage was Mrs. Yellow Wing that she was forced to dodge around the pole. Then Yel- low Wing returned and once more it was two to one; for, of course, Mrs. Speckles wouldn't leave that doorway to take part in the fight. She had | secured possession of that house and |she meant to retain it. Besides, the | fight was not now so uneven as you | might think. The two Flickers were | clinging to that pole and, therefore, in |8 poor position to fight; whereas, | Speckles could dash in, strike, and dash | nv\;u{ullaln before either of them could im. | It i1s too bad,” said Welcome Robin to Mrs. Welcome. “I fear the Yellow | Wings have lost that new house of | theirs. Mrs. Yellow Wing shouldn'¥ ‘hnve left it. That is where she made a great mistake. A WHALE OF A SUDS BARGAIN? KiD$!" Everybody says that about Junior and Mary-Jane.
