and Around Washington puzzle, pub
lished in the Womans Section of The

Miss Cynthia Armstrong, 1881 o street
northwest, sent the second correct solu-
ton of the puzzle, and is awarded the
second prize of s.
Mrs. S. A. Adkins, 9O31 + street, is the
winner of the third prize of 81.
There were other correct answers to
the. puzzle. which made il necessary TO
award the prizes to the first three that
came in, in the order Of their receipt.
Others who succeeded in untangling the

Mrs L. A. Price. Miss Pauline Stayner.
Mrs. F. NJ. Reed, Mrs. NJ. J. William,
Mrs. P. G. Melbourne. Miss NJ. NJ. Cooper,
and Mrs. Charles S. Valin.
For the benefit of everybody 1 want to
state that those having No. % of the
puzzle incorrectly solved did not have
that number counted against them, be-
cause there was an E, where there should
have been an /. in every issue of the
puzzle printed, which made many solve
it as underground sewer" instead of
underground wires In every case
that this was done l simply cancelled the
number altogether, not counting it
against the contestant.
There were approximately 200 solutions
that were entirely correct except for
No. II.
As one contestant put it: This was
where they left the sightseeing autos"
In spite of the difficulty of this tan
talizing place in the puzzle, there was no
number that afforded so much fun as In
fatuated HoneymoonArs.

NEW PETTICOATS
OF SOFT FOULARD

Petticoats made OF soft foulard are
what must now be worn with the spring
tailor suits Stiff rustlins taffcta is not
soft and crushabIe enough, neither is it
as desirable as foulaTd in other ways,
now that the quality of stiffness is no
longer required.
Every woman knows from experience
that foulard wears well. and for petit
coats it may be bought at most reason
able prices.
The petticoat fouIardS show little polka
or pin dots in white or Colors on darker
grounds, and petticoat of the dotted
material, finished with the plain fabric
is quite the thing.

AND THEN BECOME OFFENDED
Instead of Hunting for Silly Sights

mo, thank goodness. she won't She's
not that kind. / never knew her to get
offended at anything. She doesn't think
about things like that"
As I listened to that question and an
swer, it swept over me how painfully
rare is the kind of woman the second
speaker described.
There are some women who are per-
retuany on the hunt for Sights and a
chance to feel hurt. They will seize
upon the least shadow OF an oversight
on a friends part and nurse it into a
tuu-grown grievance. ana are really
never so pleased as when they have d
real good, healthy one to brood over.
On Hunt for Sights.
Then there are other women who while
not actively hunting for sights, are Net
quick enough TO pick up grievance
whenever they see a good chance.
In these two classes belong almost all
of the feminine sex.
For a woman who never thinks about
such things, who never fancics her

Chiefly. I suppose. because they are too

OF course. some woman is going t"

than she is with all the homework for
a family of six to do. and that what l
say may apply well enough to the women
that have servants. but that most women
have to work quite as hard As their
husbands.
Very true, my dear woman. But with
this difference: While the woman's hands
are crammed full of household tasks her
mind is only half occupied.
The man. on the other hand. is usually
LuSy both in mind and body.

EMPIRE STYLES ARE
SUPREME THIS SPRING

Spring will see empire fashions su-
preme, if feminine forecasters arc accu-
rate. Frocks will have more ample
skirts, and a feature will be the cord
girdle.
Already a semi-empire effect is visible
in the newest gowns The waist, though
not as high as it once was, is much
above the line in winter frocks.
Nothing in the fashion signs indicate
a return to the, wasp waist. The waist
OF the autumn and winter of 1910 was
normal. both in position and size. In
the case of the hobble skirt women had

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE BUSY HOUSEKEEPER
Counterfeit Watermelon.

watermelon which appeared on a Feb
ruary luncheon table was achieved by
art and not nature. Some green jelly
had been made and stiffened in a melon
mold. Then the center of the form was
scooped out and replaced with pink jelly.
Some raisins inserted into the cut ends
fust before it was too late did for seeds.
In summer half a watermelon rind makes
IN excellent mold. But the guests will be
sure to lament that the natural filing is
not served.
Substitute for Cream.
Don't let this get out TO summer board
ing house "hostesses,'' but this thing one
can do if the cream is very. very limited
for the whip that is needed. Dissolve a
teaspoonful Of powdered gelatin in a
couple of tablespoonfuls of boiling water
