ALL HUSBANDS DEFICIENT

LONDON, July 21.-Lady DockreIl
wife of Sir Maurice Dockrell, in an ad-
dress at the annual congress of the roval
institute of public health declared that
woman must realize that upon her de.
pended the ascent or descent, nav, the
very existence of the human race
1.-The popular idea, - said LADY Dock.
rell, sis that every woman has abont
five men around her from whom she can
choose a husband. Only in rare and
isolated cases is that so. Usually a
woman is ready to accept the man she
IS thrown against, and invariably she
in her own mind, knows that he doe,
not approach her ideal"
Lady Dockrell concluded by SAVING
that the time would come when a womaT
would refuse to accept a man unless h
could show some certificate of menta
and physical fitness.

FOR ELDERLY WOMEN.

The prevailing and incoming colors
for the elderly are charming and artis-
tic, says Harper Bazaar. There is a
new red which is brown as mahogany
and red as dahlia, and is equally lovely
in velvet, MORE, foulard, tussor, gauze,
cashmere and lawn. It is seen in plain
material, and found accentuated in the
pattern of some of the choicer Persian
fabrics. There is also smoky gray
blue which is refined and quiet
Apropos of new colors, some of our
most fashionable women are combining
purple and prune silk coats with after
noon dresses of gray, dahlia and green
one combination which a Partisan
house has just devised consists of a
purple coat and pompadour pink dress
which, when actually seen, really is
lovely, though to read the description it
is very likely to seem garish. Similar
silk coats in rich brown or deep green,
which fit loosely about the form, are
now regarded as the elegant thing for
the smart matron to wear at wedding
and formal afternoon receptions.
Lace ruffles as a wrist finish to the
sleeves and narrow, turnover lace col
lars for the neck are returning with the
old materials, and these collars, as a
rule, are fastened with a simple brooch.
The pretty fancy is also returning of

wearing lace in some form upon the
hair, either in the way of set cap with
fluffy rutfles, and perhaps flowers among
them, or fiat square or disk of lace,
with reset of paletoned ribbon. The
Spanish lace scarf in black and in
white is now offered as a veranda ac-
cessory for the summer evening.
Among the cooler summer fabrics for
old ladies are fine black and soberlv-
tinted lawns, tussors and crepons, of
which lastnamed materials there are di-
versifed weaves and colors. Such
shades as powderblue and silver gray
are the newest. and these are trimmed
with self -colored lace or braids, or tiny
plated ruche frills of silk. Dotted or
figured fabrics yelled with chiffon are
much worn by older women.

CAKE MAKING.

There is no such thing as "luck' in
cake making. Given good ingredients,
properly measured and prepared, the
right sort Of pan, and an oven of cor
rect temperature, the cake win be sat
isfactory. If it is coarse grained, or
tasteless, there is a blunier somewhere.
The usual method for mixing a cake
is to work the butter to cream, add
ing the sugar, then the beaten yolks,
next the favoring, and then the
flour, alternately with the milk. until
both are used up. Last of all, fold in
lightly the whites. after they have been
beaten stiff and dry. Do not beat these
in, and do not beat the cake hard after
they are added Put it at once into the
pan and set in the oven. Close the door
gently, and do not allow any jar in the
kitchen while the cake is baking.
Cake must not be put into an oven
which is very hot at first, and cools
later. This cooks the outside of the bat
ter and prevents its rising as it should;
then, as the heat declines, the baked
crust pressing on the unbaked interior
makes it fall.
Do not open the oven until you think
the cake has "set,' or is partly baked
all through. and not then unless you
have reason to fear that one side of the
oven is hotter than the other. Never
move the cake until the crust has form
ed. When a loaf must bake for long
time. it is well to cover it for the first
half hour with brown paper. When
done the cake will shrink slightly from
the sides Of the pan. A clean straw
run into the thickest part viii come
out clean and free from dough.

SUITABLE BONNETS AND
SCARFS FOR THE MOTORIST

GENTLY protected by the veil
With the very fashionable motoring
coats Of white worsted are worn little
caps of the toboggan type, but done
in loose crochet stitch with fine floss.
These bonnet capes are quickly made,
never blow off the head, and are no
warmer than those of straw or silk,
but they are so severe of outline that
only an exceedingly pretty girl should
attempt to wear one of them.
A delightful addition to the motor
outfit for these days is a scarf of
Shetland wool. These Shetland wool
scarfs are deliciously soft and warm
against the skin and fill in all the
crannies and air holes left by the coat
collar. About twelve inches wide by a
yard and a half long, these motor
scarfs resemble closely Scotchman s
mutfler, which. above all things. is de-
signed for protection against wind and
weather. In white, worn with white
blanket coat, the Shetland scarfs are
most becoming, but they are to be had
in all colors, from delicate blue to
serviceable gray.
Even with a fur coat these Shetland
scarfs are often worn, half to protect
the waist collar from the dye of the
fur, which always rubs off, and half
for the additional warmth which they
afford, since in motoring it is impos
sible to be too heavily clad.
| Another new thing in scarfs consists
of two-yard length of black satin
from half to a quarter of a ward wide
; faced with white, electric blue or deer
/ mink of the same material.
| This scarf should be cut from a bia:
piece, so that in buying the necessary
material two scarfs can be made al
easily as one from the same strip OF
satin. The ends may be finished eithe1
with long fringes Of sewing silk or By
simply gathering the satin into two o.
three rows of shirring or cording.
\ piece of unbleached muslin laid be
tween two pieces of satin will max,

In the light colors these scarfs ar,
worn in the evenings by young girls
but the black ones, faced with whit

too old and are TO be made up only a
gifts for Christmas time or BIRTHDAYS.
The model is an extremely popula
one and is worn evening and afternool

afternoon wear in the large bows, and
the circles and crescents Of the same
jewel are equally attractive in the front
of collar
The preference for earrings is on the
wane. Very few are being sold at pres
ent. The small stud and the long drop
are about equally favored, those women
who prefer to dress quietly choosing the
least conspicuous design.
Rhinestone hat pins are still worn a
great deal, the fiat effects more than
the long head. The very newest is a
large fiat head studded with the stones,
which is made removable. Three pins
come with the head, each one different
length, so that the pin can be worn with
small, medium or large hat. The top
of each pin is fitted so as to screw into
the head

Let no girl decline an invitation to
join a motoring party simply because
she has not q suitable covering for her
head. 1t is easy to contrive bonnet
which will resist the assaults of the
wind as well as become the wearer by
buying one Of the inexpensive models in
taffeta, rajah or straw, ripping off the
conventional trimmings and regarnish-
ing it according to individual fancy.
4 cheap silk foundation crown may
be yelled with grass cloth, shirred chit
fon or waterproof maline, and about the
brim may be set rnchings of some sheer
fabric or several fat bands of ribbon
secured by rosettes or pompons
Cap shaped bonnets of coarse straw
are amenable to vast improvements. One
method is to cover the entire front with
closely shirred chiffon and behind It
drape a veil, which should be secured
over the ears with silk pompon clusters
and then tied beneath the chin, one end
being shirred so that it may be drawn
over the face and pinned to the back
of the bonnet.
Another excellent plan is to have
made a wire frame of the desired shape
and then cover it with material as near
~ as possible matching the shade of
the motoring coat. Almost any tint Is
to be duplicated in pongee or English
mobair, both of which fabrics are dust
shedding and lend themselves readily to

.LADY'S SIZE AIR
MACHINES COMING
New York MiIIionairesses Order
DUPLICATES of Smallest Aero
plane Built.

NEW YORK, July 25.-If the nego-
tiations being conducted by Yves de
Villers Of Paris are successful, Mrs.
Clifford B. Harmon and Mrs. William
X. Vanderbilt Jr., will each own one
of the smallest aeroplanes in existence,
built especially for women.
Mr. De Villers represents the Oder
Vendome monoplane, which is even
smaller than the Santos Dumont Dem
oiselle The latter is eighteen feet
wide. but the Vendome sky runabout
measures only a fraction over twelve
feet.
Both the Vendome craft and the Du
mont machine are very popular in Eu
rope with amateurs who are just begin
ming to learn the art Of flying. It en-
ablcs them to acquire the knack by easy
stages. On account of their size, they
can not carry a passenger on sus'
tanned fight, but are capable of re
naming in the air for forty five min
uteS.
Are Popular in France.
The Vendome craft in which Mrs
Harmon and Mrs. Vanderbilt are In
terested have become especially popular
with women in France. It has become
great fad with society women to
take short spin on one of these ma
chimes on the numerous aviation fields
scattered through that country.
Three of the craft are now on the
ocean and will arrive here during the
week. With them are coming three
French air jockeys, who will demon
strate them on the aviation field near
Mineola. after which they will be taken
to Boston to take part in the meet to
be held there.
Two cf the machines have already
been purchased by society women of
Canada, where they are being used IN
flights on private estates. Within a
month the Vendome company will send
two woman aviators to the United
States to exhibit the flying capabilities
of the craft and to show how easily
they can be handled.
Capable of High Speed.
The Tendome machine is equipped
with a three cylinder Anzani motor, the
engine with which Bleriot made his
flight over the English channel. On
account of its small size it can attain
great speed, sometimes flying at the
rate of fifty miles an hour.
The enthusiasts at the aviation field
near Mineola expected that the activity
of Mrs. Harmon and Mrs. Vanderbilt
will prompt many other members of the
400 to take up the sport of flying.
While it is probable that they will
make some of their flights on Long Is
land, it is expected that they will use
their machines principally on the
grounds in their own estates, where
they will be remote from the curious
eyes of the public.
There is talk also of the organization
Of a woman's aviation club, the mem
bers of which will hold private racing
meets on their own places.
