Hornet violated the neutrality law OF
che United States before she sailed
from New Orleans several weeks
ago. Before her departure her cargo
was inspected and no evidence was

their opinion would warrant in de-

north coast OF Honduras, however,
she was fully armed, and the fact
that she was engaged in warliRe

Knox Alleges Technical Violation.
Secretary Knox takes the position
that technical violation OF the law
was committed by the Hornet before
her departure from New Orleans.
The officers OF the state department
contend that although there was no
evidence of violation OF the neu-

SPRING HATSFOR CHILDREN

Rolling brim sailors are the newest
spring hats for small girls, and these
are now being shown in the shops,
trimmed principally with ribbon and
quills
Sailor hats have always been popular
the younger folk, for unlike the mush-
room shape so much worn during the
winter. the children feel perfectly com
Portable and are not troubled by having
their vision obstructed by the low hang
ing brim.
The dropping brimmed hat, however
is revived again in straw, but the brim is
longer at the sides than in the back
and front Stin little cockadcs of the
straw or shirred silk are used for trim
ming.
These little shirred cockades may be
made of ribbon. but the prettiest are
made of bias satin or silk gathered on
each edge to a cord.
Sometimes they are open in the center
to allow a sauCy little quill to pass
through and again the center is in
contrasting color.
Most of these hats. whether in sailor
shape or with the dropping brim, are
made with round crowns, as these aro
really the most becoming above a child
ish face.
These. however. are only two Of the
many different styles seen in youthful
millinery and the trimming varies almost
as much as the shape Of the hat.

SIX PRIZE RECIPES WHICH SHOULD
APPEAL TO FRUGAL HOUSEWIVES

In a recent contest when six prizes
were awarded for the best recipes for
cooking meats, a well-known authority
on problems OF domestic science and a
teacher of culinary art awarded the first
urize to the housekeeper who sent in the
following recipe for mutton duck.
Mutton Duck.
Select forequarter OF mutton, with the
whole length of the leg bone left on. Ask
the butcher to cut off what is called a
raised shOulder-that is, raised from the
backbOn and ribs-CuttinG it far up on
the shoulder to ;ake in the whole of the
shoulder blade. bone and gristIe. You may
cut it yourself by removing the neck. the
Backbone. the ribs and breastbone, leav-
ing the shoulder blade in the upper part.
Then sCrapc the flesh from the shoulder
blade and separate the blade at the joint.
Lay it aside for further use. Remove the
meat from the leg bone. turning the meat
over as you would turn a glove over your
hand. Be careful not to cut through the
thin skin at the end of the leg. When
within three inches of the lower joint saw
the bone of and saw or trim the bone be-
low the joint into the shape of a ducks
bill. Bend the joint without breaking the
skin. Wipe the meat and rub inside with
salt. Make a moist Stuffing and put 1t in
between the layers of meat. With "A
coarse needle. threaded with twine. gather
the edges Of the meat. draw them togeth-

the meat into long oval form like the
body of a duck. Bend the leg at the

side at the top Of the body and put one
into the body on each side of the neck.
Wind string around the bill and fasten
it to the skewers. Scrape the shoulder
blade clean, trim the long end into A
sharp point and notch the gristle at the
opposite end Insert this into the body TO

Answer-A similar question was asked

ago, when it was discussed at some length.
The New York Times became interested
in it and wrote one or two editorials de-
Tending the New York custom of wearing
frock coat to a formal Sunday dinner.
That this is the fashion among a certain
set in New York 1 do not deny. but it
does not obtain in the smart circles of
any other social center in the world. In
Washington when one is invited to a
formal dinner on Sunday one goes in
evening clothes as one does in Paris.

customs few provincials in New York
still observe.

Artter every week. TNEZ.
Answer-A young girl both before and
after she has made her debut should
send out all OF her invitations in her
mothers name. To do so implies a much
greater compliment than when sent in
her own name. II such an invitation
reaches one OF her friends she. of course,

an informal luncheon you might write
the invitation simething after this wise:
