Away With Curl Papers

1t is no longer the fashion for wo-
men to make frights of themselves
with ugly curl papers or rags. Fas-
tidious women who object to appear
ing at a disadvantage even III their
own apartments will appreciate the
new arrangement, which is really very
satisfactory.
The undulating paraphernalia con-
>ists of ribbons anG two-pronged
forks of French gilt. which have han
dies like tortoise shell. When ready
TO use, the tips of the prongs are
slipped through the eyelet holes, and
the loop of ribbon left by this arrange
ment is drawn to the other end of the
fork. where it is fitted into a deep
groove.
The hair is then rolled alternately
around the prongs, and when finished
the ribbon Is tied in a jaunty little
bow. which is not unattractive, and
which does not interfere with ones
rest at night.

Becoming Slippers

Black suede slippers are more be-
coming to the feet than any others,
as they make these members appear
smaller. Some of these are of the
strapped variety, and are set with jet.
Another style has a single ornament
in the center of each strap. Black ro-
settes of chiffon or tulle are exceeding
ly pretty, and help to diminish the size
of the feet. Black silk French roses,
with yellow centers. are also popular
decoration for evening slippers.
The most attractive bedroom slip
pers seen are made of soft felt, fan
mel or baby lamb, and are lined with
quilted satin in dainty colors A pair
of baby lamb slippers, for instance.
have a pale blue satin lining, and a
blue satin rosette on the toe of each
one.

~ when one begins to tire of
4 y the heavy foods so much used
during the winter months, it
is good idea to make a complete
change in diet for few days. In
stead of beef, mutton, pork OF, poultry,
it is good to live on sea foods, vege-
tables, cereals and fruit
One Of the most wholesome and en-
joyable dinners which is a radical
change from those generally served
during the winter consists of boiled
salt Goldfish and potatoes 1t is what
New Englanders call 'salt-hsh din
ner."
Most New Workers, as well as
Western and Southern States people,
ridicule their New England friends
for clinging to the legendary salt cod
fish dinner, and many persons hold
up their hands in horror at the. idea
of eating anything so positively
common" That is because they know
absolutely nothing about the much
abused salt cod
So little, indeed, do people outside
cellence of a well-cured. salt cod that
they are quite satisfied to cook and
place on their tables the wretched
preparations with which most mar
kets are flooded, known as "boneless
cod"
You will never catch a native of
Massachusetts, of Rhode Island or
Connecticut eating such stuff.
In each of these States. even in the
smallest towns, you will find nice lit
tie rock cod perfectly cured, as white
as snow and delicious in flavor. 1t is
of this sort of Goldfish that the New
England salt-fsh dinner is composed.
Those who have not eaten these fish
prepared and cooked as a New Eng
land woman cooks them have no
idea of their delightful flavor
If your market man or grocer can
offer you nothing better than the
boneless Goldfish which always comes
packed in fine boxes. which alone de-
stroys its flavor, insist upon his fur
nishing you with a whole salt cod. or.
as the New Yorker calls them.
quintet cod. They are always kept
by large dealers who supply converts
and other large Catholic institutions.
| If you insist upon having them, your
! dealer will have to supply your de-
mand. The popularity of the worth
less homeless salt Goldfish is a monu-
ment to the indifference and laziness
of the average housewife of the pres
ent day. 1t saves trouble and labor
and that is why she buys it.

The following is a good menu for
one Of these typical New England
dinners:
.Bisque of CLANS.
Boiled Salt Cod, Cream Sauce.
Boiled Potatoes.
Lettuce and Onion Salad.
Baked Apple Pudding
Sliced Oranges Coffee.
Buy a small, whole Goldfish and
trim off the fms. Put it to soak in
cold water with the skin side I'D.
Leave it in the cold water for at lea st
six hours, then cut it in halves or
quarters Put it in a large pan or
fish boiler, with enough cold water TO
cover it well, laying the fish skin side
down.
Stand the pan on the back. of the
stove where the water will get hot.
When IT comes to the boiling point
pour off the water and add as much
cold water as is required TO cover
the fish. Then stand it back on the
stove and let it come to the boiling
point again, but do not let it boil
Leave it like this while the potatoes
boil
Peel a strip all around as many
hne potatoes as are required, and boil
them until they are quite mealy. Then
pour off the water and serve them in
hot dish covered with a napkin
Five minutes before the potatoes are
done, stand the fish where it will Just
simmer Lift it carefully at the end
of this time from the water with i
skinner, and lay it skin down on a
big. hot platter
While the potatoes are boiling.
make a rich cream sauce by blending
smoothly three heaping tablespoon
fuls of butter with the same quantity
of -four. Then pour in enough hot
milk, stirring the ingredients constant
ly over a slow fire, to make very
thick sauce, and letting it simmer
gently three minutes. This sauce is to
be served over the fish and potatoes.
If you try this simple dinner some
day you will be delighted with it.

Big Polka Dots.

Fashion always goes to extremes,
so, of course, the new polka dots are
as large as "a quarter" and some of
them are the size of a half dollar.
They are not so ugly as one would
imagine when made up.
a boudoir jacket was made of a
cream satin. which had red panne satin
polka dots about the size of a twenty
five-cent piece. 1t was made kimona
style, in handkerchief effect, and was
striking with It's red panne satin bands
which matched the polka dot perfectly.
The shop windows already show
gray satin materials with black polka
dots and gray, with navy blue and
red dots

Book Chairs.

Some of the new library chairs,
which are built on the Morris plan,
are called book chairs, as they have
wide arm rests convenient for reading
or writing
Other reading chairs on the old
Mission style are of massive weather
ed oak, and have the corners decor
ated with elaborate copper hinges
Bronzed Spanish leather is used for
the seat cushions Portable racks to
match these chairs are for sale, also
and they certainly complete one
comfort in the possession of such con
veniences.

A New Kind of Folding Bed.

Women who have nearly broken
their backs lifting heavy folding beds
will welcome the new one which lifts
from the side. When closed, this
model bed looks like a draped mantel,
and is more artistic than the average
folding bed, which masquerades as
anything from a bookcase to a piano.

= ENT is a busy season in the
world of fashions. 1t is the
- harbinger OF spring styles, and
yet one must be prepared to
appear IN something quite new and
fresh at the arrival OF Easter.
The Lenten period, therefore, makes
a trying demand upon woman's i'll
genuity, for while there Is an end to
dances, formal dinners, theatre par
ties and calling, there are, ON the other
hand, innumerable occasions that call
for careful and correct dressing.
Gowns worn in the .unlight must be
without a flaw, both as to materials
and style All Lenten functions, such
as morning musicales, noon lectures
and the afternoon sewing circle, which
includes a five o'clock tea, presuppOse
the sunlight, and call for street suits
more or less elaborate. according to
the occasion
Fashionable Gowns
In Order, Even
At the Sewing Circle.
As an example of the fine line that
IS drawn in these matters. severely
tailor-made costume is not worn TO a
morning musicale, if given in "A pri-
vate house. while it is quite proper FOR
noon lecture or public concert.

A Corsage
With Lace Yoke Effect
Over Silk.

The charming corsage shows a lace
yoke effect laid over silk and finished
by rich border of cords and sequins,
which fall into lace straps caught at
the waist over a handsome Dresden
girdle of grape-green silk. The net
sleeves, built over silk, reach to the
elbow, and are finished by a fall of
chiffon in a graduated flounce design
The hair ornament is of black lace
and sequins, giving the valuable hint
that few or no jewels are worn at
these informal Lenten pleasurings.

The pride of the Caucasus is the beauty
of its women. There are more beautiful
women to be found In these rugged noun
tains than anywhere else in the world. In
other countries there are women as lovely,
but nowhere else is loneliness so common.
Among the Circassians homely girl is
hardly ever seen, and this is true In less
degree of the Ossetes. the tribes OF Dag
hestan, and many of the other races in
habiting these highlands.
Famed for Their Beauty.
The beauty of the Circassian girls is, or
course, world famous. They are In great
demand in all the harems of Turkey. Per-
STA. Egypt, Central Asia and other parts OF
the Mohammedan world. Many merchant.
visit the Circassian villages at certain sea-
sons of the year to pick out the prettiest
girls and induce them TO travel to Siam
boul, Teheran and other cities, where they
can make good marriages, perhaps to
prince or paSha. Sometimes the merchant
buys the girl from her parents a specu-
lation: more frequently he deducts com
mission from the sum paid him by the
bridegroom and sends them the balance of
the purchase money.
He keeps faith because he has to revisit
the Caucasus again IN the course or ms
business. The girl is usually eager to ga
with him. She rejoices at the chance OF
leaving the narrow life of the village and
going out into the great world: where she
knows she will be Tapped I'm luxury and
possibly may become a queen, as many Il

is hardly possible to travel ten miles in
many parts of the Caucasus without COM

days. now fallen into ruins.
But there are plenty of more or less mod

more plentiful You them every
