INDIAN FURNITURE
is SUMMERS FAD
FOR THE BUNGALOWS

Indian splint furniture is the latest fad
for the summer bungalow.
This furniture, despite Its somewhat
bulky and rude appearance. is by no
means inexpensive, for the splint chair
backs and seats are mounted in frames
Of weathered oak and the strips of gal
vanized s-eeI cleverly woven through
the splints, make the furniture very
durable and solid.
To match these big, smart-Iooking
chairs and low seats there are splint-
topped tables and footstoois and splint
woven scrap baskets. and the very up
to-date bungalow will have splintpan
eled walls divided of by uprights OF
weathered oak. A room of this sort,
recently designed by a clever woman
decorator, suggested the woodsy appear
ance Of a mountain interior. There
were hangings of coarse canvas run
with colored leather thongs and edged
with cOlored bead fringe.
Bits of dull-colored Indian pottery
stood about. and even the lampshade
was unconventional. being made OF
raffia strips in an open pattern, over a
japanese rice paper lining.

Capital Is Market
For Two Products
Of Texas Farmer

Washington would not seem at first
10 be an inviting market 70 the Texas
farmer. yet tomato and onion growers
IN the Lone Star state are beginning
to compete seriously with Carolina.
Georgia and Florida farmers In selling
these two products. The presence to-
day in the local market Of a large
shipment OF Texas tomatoes served to
bring this competition sharply into view.
Inquiry ELECTED the information that the
Texas farmer now regards Washington
more favorably than he did in former
years.
While the Texas tomatoes shipped
here, as a matter OF fact, DO not threat
en- the sales OF the famous Norfolk and
Eastern Branch tomatoes. yet they do
cut into the sales OF those from the
Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. They
ere not nearly so sweet and palataole
as our homegrown varieties, nor 90
they grow 20 such size. If they were
II the market at the same time with
the Norfcsk and Branch tomatoes. they
would be drug on the commission
mans hands.
The Texas grower probably realizes
this, and he is trying 20 be the early
bird and catch the worm.

DELICIOUS SPONGE CAKE.

The following recipe for a light, soft
sponge cake with but four eggs was
passed along the line by a capital New
England house-mother. As it differs
slightly In proportions from any other
sponge cake recipes that have appeared
in print. and gives exceptional satisfac-
ton. it is worth making a note on =
ANY amateur can use it with success.
One cup sugar beaten well with four
egg yollzs and three tabIespoonfuls of
cold water. one cup -four. one teaspoon
full OF baking powder (sifted). four
whites of eggs beaten stiff, juice Of half
lemon OF any fiavoring preferred.
Have a pan OF water under the cake n
the oven Bake ten minutes in hot
oven, then reduce the heat one-hzlf and
bake forty five minutes longer. Don't
open the oven door until the cake Is
done by the clock. II cannot burn, ow-
ing 70 the water in the pan.
