r HOSE who make up feathers into
i forms that are to decorate milli-
merry, look with interest upon each
wearer of plumage and each separate
feather. Many thousands of persons
spend their working hours sewing
pasting, wiring, branding and other
wise manipulating the plumage of
birds (mostly domestic fowls) into
new forms. Each feather is regarded
with an eye to it's possibilities in the
evolution of something new by the
manufacturers. Even the tiny feath-
ers from the neck of the pigeon or
peacock are handled separately, in
making up the most expensive pieces.
Just lately, large butterflies made of
these, pasted to foundation, covered
on the outside and inside of the
wings with the tiny feathers have
made us marvel at the work of the
designers You can imagine the
sheen of the wings and the splendor
of color. The bodies are of velvet
and the antennae of wired chenille or
gold cord.

his work is to be worn at the front,

FOOD VALUE OF MILK
CONTAINS MATERIALS WHICH
CHILDREN NEED FOR GROWTH.
cns Quart of Cows Milk Supplies
Practically as Much Protein and
Energy as Three-Quarters
of Pound of Eeef.

1t is a commonplace saying that
milk, or, to be more specific, COW
milk, Is a perfect food. This may be
taken to mean that it contains, first,
materials which children need for
growth; second, material which young
and old alike need for the repair or
their bodily machinery; and, third,
materials which both need for fuel,
1. e., to provide with heat anu
with the energy necessary for
work 1t should not be understood,
however, to mean that it has these In
gradients in such proportions that II
can serve satisfactorily as an exclusive
food for a grown person or even Tor
child. Though it is the best suosu-
tute for mothers milk, it must be
modified" more or less before it can
be used even for infant feeding with
good results.
1t is likewise a commonplace saying
that milk is cheap as well as a nu-
tritious food. Just at present, with
prices of all kinds of foods rapidly
changing, it is not so easy as it once
was to make the comparisons that
are necessary to show which part1cu-
lar foods are really cheap, but While
the prices of food materials vary, the
composition of most of them remains
unchanged, and it is always possible
to compare their nutritive values. A
quart of milk supplies practically as
much of both protein and energy as
three-quarters of a pound of beef OF
average composition or eight average
eggs, and can generally be bought for
less money In case milk is eight
cents a quart, beef 20 cents pound,
and eggs "a cents dozen, ten cents
spent for milk will buy a little more
protein and much more energy than
ten cents spent for beef or ten cents
spent for eggs. Thus, while other ami
NAL foods than milk (meat, eggs and
cheese) are desirable to give variety
to the diet 1t may be assumed that
milk may be used as an economical
substitute for any one of them.
OF the vegetable foods many (flour,
for example) are found to be much
cheaper than milk, when both price
and nutritive value are taken into con-
sideration, and, as a matter OF fact,
lhey always form the greater part OF
he bulk of human food; but of the
animal foods which are usually COM
bined with the vegetable foods, milk
Is one of the cheapest.
In spite of the fact that milk is rec
ognized as a nutritious and a cheap
food, there seems to be a general
tendency to think of it not as a pos
sible substitute for other more expen-
sive foods, but rather as an addition
to the bill of fare. To illustrate, milk
is frequently used as a beverage with
out the reduction of the amount of
meat or other proteid foods served.
From the point Of view Of the need OF
the body, this may be considered ex-
travagant and the serving Of a glass
of milk or of bowlful Of soup or OF
such desserts as custards and baked
milk, or the use of generous quantities
of milk or white sauce On vegetables.
offers an opportunity to cut down the

RidicuIes American Women.

Katherine G. Bushby has written a
book, in which she tells English read
ers all about American women, and it
is somewhat interesting to "see our
selves as others see u.s." She says
American women marry the men they
like, but Of "superlative temperament
al passion the American woman is I'M
touched" She says that college wom-
en- generally marry poor men and are
drudges the rest Of their lives, as the
wealthy men steer clear of the learned
woman. The writer draws an amusing
picture of the women in university
towns, wives of the professors, who
live on baked beans and Goldfish in or
der to save money enough to race
through Europe, doomed to come
home with memories of cheap board
ing houses and third-rate pensions, but
still yearning for art.

SYNOPSI

Archibald Terhune, a popular and in
dolent young bachelor of London, re-
ceives news that he has been made heir
to the estate of his Aunt Georgiana, with
income of $4,000 year, on condltlon
that he becomes engaged to be married
within ten days. Failing to do so the
legacy will go to a third cousin In Amer
lea. The story opens at Castle Wyckon,
where Lord Vincent and his wife, friends
of Terhune, are discussing plans TO nnu
him a wife within the prescribed time. 1t
seems that Lady Vincent is one of seven
persons named Agatha. all close girlhood
chums. She decides to invite two OF them
to the castle and have Archie there as
one of the guests Agatha Sixth strikes
Archie as a handpainted beauty. Agatha
First is breezy American girl Lady
Vincent tells her husband that Agatha
Sixth already cares for Archie. He gains
from Agatha Sixth the admission that
she cares for him. but will require a
months time fully to make up her mind.
Agatha First, neglected by Terhune, re-
ceives attentions from Leslie Freer. Four
days of the precious time have passed
when Terhune is called to London on
business. Agatha First, on the plea of
sickness, excuses herself from a motor
trip planned by the Vincents. Later they
see Agatha First picking flowers with
strange man. The Vincents discuss
Agatha's seeming duplicity. The follow
ing day the party visits the ruins of an
old convent. Terhune continues his at
tentions to Agatha Sixth. Then suddenly
he transfers his attentions to Agatha
First. Vincent scores him for his appar-
ent f1ckleness. The last evening of the
time allotted in which to become engaged
arrives.

He VIII Not Down.

The man with the glittering whisk-
ers suddenly appears at the desk of
the sunken-eyed hireling with the re-
calcitrant fountain pen, and says:
81 was passing the Office when this
one occurred to me, and 1 rushed in to
give 1t TO you while it is fresh. What
is the difference between a man who
has been marooned on an island whose
only population is polar bears, upon
the flesh of which animals he has
been compelled to subsist for two
years-what is the difference between
him and a man who saunters into
palatial hotel, is given seat near
window before table spread with the
whitest linen and the choicest cut
glass, and to whom an obsequious
waiter deferentially hands menu?"
The pale bondslaye shakes his head
petulantly, and the man with the gilt
tering whiskers explains:
"One has his fill of bear and the
other has his bill of fare"
And the sad wind mournfully sighs

the iridescent foliage of the monarchs

Agatha First and Terhune one after
the other at all disturb their beautiful
serenity.
Strange to say, Terhune gave no
evidence of any inward disquiet or
cause for alarm. He showed not the
faintest symptoms Of a guilty con-
science, but laughed and chatted with
his customary sociability. If it had
not been for his persistent avoidance
of conversation with Agatha First
should have been convinced in spite
Of the evidence Of my own eyes that
he was not the traitor and double
dealer we had every reason to think
him, but an upright and innocent gen
tleman deeply in love with Agatha
Sixth and Agatha Sixth only, his
straying toward Agatha First having
been but a temporary swerving from
the path of loyalty, born only of his
conceit and thirst for flattery. I'm
bound to concede, however, that he
mad no sort Of headway with Miss
Lawrence, who met his advances with
unfailing courtesy, it is true, but a
pillar of ice could scarcely have been
more unyielding and the look on her
little white pansy face was rather pitt

more cordial herself, and l pitied the

face.
But 1 didn't get chance to observe
them much longer than first glance
before 1 plunged myself into the duty
of entertaining Agatha First, which
naturally devolved upon me. The
poor girl wasn't game for much con-
versation, though, could see that.
And by Jove, If Agatha Sixth looked
badly, Agatha First looked worse.
Never saw such hopeless wretched
looking young woman in my life. If
It hadn't been for the presence of the
footman, who was in the room, 1 be-
lieve she would have given way to

METHOD OF CLARIFYING FAT
Objectionable FIavors Can Be Re-
moved From Fat by Means OF
Potatoes.

Excepting where the purpose OF
clarifying fat is to remove fiavors,
good method to follow is to pour boil
ing water over the fat, to boil thor
oughly, and then to set it away to cool.
The cold fat may be removed in
solid cake and any impurities clinging
to it may be scraped off, as they will
be found at the bottom of the layer.
By repeating this process two or three
times a cake Of clean, white fat may
be obtained.
A slight burned taste or similar OBJ
jectionable flavor often can be re-
moved from fat by means of potatoes.
After melting the fat, put into it thick
slices of raw potato; heat gradually.
When the fat ceases to bubble and the
potatoes are brown, strain through
cloth placed in wire strainer.

Genesee Chocolates,

AS the college girls are doing 1t:
Boil for five minutes cupful and a
half Of granulated sugar, half a cupful
of milk, a teaspoonful of butter and
two squares of chocolate. Then take
from the fire, favor with vanilla,
stand the pan containing the sirup
in pan of cold water and work in
four or five tablespoonfuls of confec-
toners sugar, molding the mass with
the hands into balls. When the balls
are cold dip them one by one into
melted chocolate and drain on wax
paper. The mixture should be of as
creamy consistency as will allow it
to be nodded.

"Grey" and "Gray."

What is the difference, if any, be
tween grey" and gray" aside from
the matter of spelling?
The editor of the Oxford Dictionary
some years ago made extended inquiry
as to usage, and found that optnions
in London varied Replies to his ques-
tions showed that in Great Britain
the form grey is the more frequent
in use. despite the authority of Dr.
Johnson and later photographers, who
give the preference to gray. Many
correspondents said that they used
the two forms with a difference of
meaning, or application, the distinc-
tion most generally recognized being
that grey donates a more delicate or
lighter tint than gray. Others con-
sidered the difference to be that gray
is a warmer color, or that it has a
mixture of red or brown. Another
group held that grey has more of
sentiment, gray more of color, which
may mean that grey is a suggestion
rather than a positive outline.

After all, l soliloquized, the poor

Dearest to side so entirely with the

that Agatha Sixth had cared for him

that she should have seen how things

good, though | didn't argue with them,

Velvet RadS.

When you gather up the scraps of
your velvet afternoon dress, don't
throw them away. Make them up into
a soft bag that should be carried with
the dress. 1t can be square or round,
and whatever other material you wish
can be combined with it. A long silk
cord, or silver or gold if you wish the
metallic note, must be attached. This
is thrown over the arm.
Beads, embroidery, little patches of
tapestry or brocades and braid or lace,
are easy ways of decorating the fiat
upper surface.
Just as a personal touch, embroider
your monogram in circle or diamond
down in one corner.

NEW DRESS TIP FROM PARIS
White or Cream CoIored Wolfe, Enn-
broidered Heavily, Approved
Thing in Lingerie Dress.

The very latest news from Paris
tells us that white or cream-colored
voile, embroidered heavily, will be
the approved thing in lingerie dresses
for early spring. That seems to be
looking a good ways ahead, but if you
do your own embroidery you will want
this time to get ready in.
Really the possibilities are endless
and fascinating. Either heavy en-
broidery (wallachian, for instance)
will be used, or beadwork with rub
Der beads, or combination of the
two. Can't you just see wall-of-troy
design, worked solid in white and out
lined beads? Or perhaps, the beads
would be black, and black hat would
be worn with the dress, or Alice blue,
or old rose, or some other becoming
and striking shade.
How pretty this would be in a
three-piece suit, with the embroidery
consisting of skirtband, side plaits
on the waist and collars and revers
on the coat! Then there are other
ideas-a Persian design worked out in
vari-colored beads, for instance, or
spray of heavy flowers, morning.
glories or passion flowers, with cen
ters and veins accentuated by means
of beads in the proper colors. In this
case, the embroidery itself would be
equally attractive in life colors or in
white, or even in black.
Then there are all the metal effects
How lovely bronze would be on cream
voile, or silver on pure white! Voile
has the advantage of raveling easily,
and so it would be quite possible to
draw a thread all the way along the
materials and work from that Even
drawnwork could be combined with
these other effects.
Doesn't it make you want to start
right away? Do have dress like thiS
for next season. I'm going to!
