WOMEN'S COATS OF
MANNISH MATERIAL
Are Seen in Mixtures, Stripes.
and Checks.

Coats of manniSh materials, mixtures,
stripes, and checks, as we'll as sergeS are
being made up for women to resemble
Taffeta and satin coats are shown and
much liked for travelling.
The majority of these are made rather
loose on the order of the box coats of
a few seasons ago.
Several kinds of sleeves are being
shown in these coats. among which are
the regulation coat the raglan, and the
peasant style. with a preference for the
first mentioned.
Usually the notch collar and reverS are
of the same material as the coat itself.
but occasionally the collar is of black
satin or velvet.
These outer garments are particularly
desirable for young misses and slim
women.
When they first made their appearance
they were only shown in high-priced
materials; now they are being made up to
retail at popular prices.
While considerable interest is shown in
coats cut on empire lines. the long.
straight coat is the most popular.
4 few three-quarter length satin coats
have been taken in high priced goods.
but there does not seem TO be much ten
dcncy to favor this length of garment
Taffeta coats are usually trimmed with
wide braid or embroidered in narrow SOU

Now old Winter in spite of his
bruskness, was not altogether unkind
and all of a sudden he began to
realize that he had had merry time
for many months. Yes he said to
himself, 1t is their turn now He
turned once again to the snowdrop.
1T is all right, little snowdrop," he
said. Il will leave the land this very
day. Go tell your pretty friends to
come forth"
Now you know that the snowdrop
lasts only very short while and be-
cause it is chosen messenger it is al
lowed to stay in the world few days
before it goes back and delivers its
message. And so it was that It lin
gered and drank in the warm sum
shine
Some children came singing along
through the woods and all of sud-
den they spied the little snowdrop.
"Oh, there is a snowdrop," they
cried and one of the little girls
stopped down and picked the snow
drops pretty dress of white. The
little flower was very glad to give
her pretty white dress away.
1t was now time for him to 60 back
and tell the other flowers and he drew
himself into the ground.
The next day, with the rising sun,
millions of growing things popped
into view.
Winter had gone and Spring had
come.

No woman need mar her hands or fin
ger nails doing housework If she can only
conceive OF the benefit derived from
using the various cheap little brushes to
be had for a few pennies.
With these she can scour greasy pans,
pots. CRATES. cutlery. sinks. and a null
titude of other things. A half dozen OF
these brushes in the kitchen, with and
without handles, the cost of which will
not exceed y cents. will prove a world
of comfort If properly used. They are
easily cleaned and do not retain odor OF
food as do dishcloths.
In securing potatoes for baking. a small
brush without a handle can be used TO
great advantage. and will make the
tubers more appetizing when served in
their jackets. This brush should not be
used for any other purpose.
For pots and pans use a small brush
without handle, moistened and dipped into
some cleanser. vigorously scrubbing the
article to be cleaned Wash with hot
soapy water. rinsing we'll with clear. hot
water. This will produce a satisfactory
result in a much shorter time and none
of that scraping noise so nerve-racking to
the tired housekeeper.
Another small brush without handle
will prove efficacious in securing kitchen
cutlery, using cleanser and dampened
brush. then washing in clear hot water
and drying Immediately.
For the sink, large soft brush the
size Of a scrubbing brush without handle,
the bristles extending far out at each
end, will lend itself perfectly to wiping
out the four corners of the sink as we'll
as the middle OF 1t. Use soap, hot water.
and cleanser. after which wash out, using
the brush with clear hot water. The
pleasure derived from obtaining a snow
white sink with little or no labor is
boon to the housewife who does her own
work
The kitchen table with or without OIL
cloth may be cleaned easily with one
of the small brushes with a curved handle

THE growing things underneath the
ground in the Northern country
awakened from their winters sleep
and wondered if it was time to shoot
up into the world.

whether Spring has Gomez"
Yes, by all means" answered the
crocus. Il too do not like this awful
darkness"
Let US send the messenger, let us
send the messenger" cried all the
growing things together and so it was
that the little snowdrop was sum-
n,oned from deep down among the
roots of sumach bush.
After the growing things had told
him what they wanted he began to
dig his way up through the soil.
From little pocket he took out his
prettiest white dress and put it on.
Then pop! up through the ground he
came into the sunlight He shivered
a bit for a cool wind was sweeping
through the woods. He held up his
head proudly when He remembered
that he was the messenger of the
growing things.
He began to call softly but the wind
at first bothered him.

and then of a sudden Winter heard

TAILORED SKIRTS ARE
GOING TO BE WIDER

Tailor-made skirts are to be wider. For
this concession We are expected to bow
the head in deepest gratitude from the
triun phant tone of the great tailors who
have pronounced this decree. The infer
ence is that we have really got more than
our deserts.
The tailored skirt for the spring opens
up a vista of attractive possibilities, Sc
cured chiefly through the medium Of
clever seam effects.
Sometimes it is a seam curved at the
top, either side the front that suggests
a pocket movement again a single bias
line will run from the back of the right
hip to the left-hand hem.
The skirt of charming little hopSack

right to left and closed literally on the
hip, with three nacre pearl buttons.

SHOPS SHOWING
SMARTEST SHOES OF SEASON

All the smarteSt shoes OF the season,
both for day and evening wear, are deco
rated with large bows. Like most other
pretty things. those bows are not cheap.
so they add considerably to the first cost
OF the slippers, but the girl who has a
little time to spare can easily make them
for herself. and they will give a smart
look to the plainest pair of shoes. 1t is
a pretty fancy to let the bows match the
gown or hair ribbon with which they
are worn.
First there is large rosette for even
ing shoes. To make this you need one
and one-half yards of ribbon about one
half inch wide and small piece of black
buckram or stiff linen TO serve as a
mount Never sew bows straight on to
the leather, for the constant movement of
the foot beneath them wears them out
soon.
Divide the ribbon into quarters, cut
two little round pieces of buckram, each
one-half inch across. for the mounts;
gather the ribbon round the buckram,
taking care that the raw ends are neatly
fastened off Stitch the bows down to
the shoes, sewing through buckram, but
not through the ribbon, for this would
make it lie fat and look depressed and
dowdy. The center of the rosette may
be left plain or finished off with tiny
buckle or bead. Or if large buckle Is
used. a single frilling round it will be
sufficient
seouin mount on a shoe is also
pretty, and perhaps the smarteSt is IN
the form OF a star. Trace the star on the
buckram and cut it out: sew the sequins
thickly on the silk and then cover the
buckram with it. holding the silk in
place by strong stitches at the back

DELICIOUS SALAD
OF TOMATO JELLY

Tomato jelly. carefully prepared and
seasoned. makes a delicious and beauti-
full looking salad Individual molds
should be used TO obtain the proper ap-

after-dinner coffee cups may be used.
To make the jelly, cook until very soft

leaves. cloves. allspice. and any spices

on the package.
Pour into the little molds, which should
be mOistened to prevent sticking, and set
aside to cool. This quantity should serve
six or eight persons. 1t is better to make
the jelly the day before you wish to use
it. so as to insure the proper stiffness.
When ready to serve, remove from the
r1oGs to a bed of lettuce leaves, and put
on top of each pot of jelly the following
dressing: Mix thoroughly a heap;ng tea

eggs, previously beaten. and set on the
range. When warm, add a small one
half cup Of vinegar, then stir fast until
the mixture thickens.
Remove from the fire instantly and stir
in a half teaspoonful of salt, heaping
teaspoonful OF butter, and the juice Of
half a lemon.
This is an easily made mayonnaise that
is always certain to succeed if directions
are explicitly followed, and is preferred
by many to the regular dressing on ac-
count Of the olive oil going into its COM
position.

WOMEN'S OPINION OF
BEST SORT OF MAN TO
MARRY DIFFER GREATLY
By RUTH CAMERON.

Yesterday 1 published some of the an
swers that my readers gave to the query.
What kind Of man does a woman like
best?' and promised more to-day.
Here goes.
You ask what kind OF man woman
likes. Let's put 1t. instead. Why does
a woman love a man. and the answer is
simply Because she believes he needs
her Fully 20 per cent of woman's love
IS mother love. When woman feels
that a man needs her own particular
self to round out his life, to watch over
and guard him, to understand and help,

he is or who she is

For the boys and girls, as for their
elders. there are distinct differences in
effects to be worn in the morning or aft

For the former time, belts are a heavy
grade of leather. and black and tan are
the smartest colors.

PUZZLERS RESORT TO
NIGHT LETTERGRAMS AS
CONTEST NEARS CLOSE
BY JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

With the time before the closing of
the contest narrowing down to a few
hours puzzlers are confessing their ina
oiiity to find all of the Flowers of the
Woods and Fields and are sending their
solutions anyway.
The lists have come by special delivery,
and one contestant who wanted her
efforts to reach me at the earliest possible
moment after they left her. sent her list
to me by wire in the form OF a night
lettergram.
In spite of its difficulties. and the fact
that no one has been able to correctly
solve the puzzle. every one has declared
their pleasure in making the effort. and II
makes no difference that there are no
entirely correct answers.
The most nearly correct solution, re-
gardiess of the number of errors II con-
tains, will be awarded the first prize of
S3. the second most nearly correct list
will receive g. and the third 81.
The answer to the puzzle will be pub
lished in the Woman's Section of The
Washington Herald on sunday. at which
time new puzzle will be announced.
MANY have been the letters that have
come to me this week with the solutions
OF the puzzle
In expressing her appreciation Of The
Heralds Page for Every Woman. Miss
Elizabeth Crump wrote that she realized
that her opinion was but a drop in the
bucket"
Others have written that theirs was
but one" and therefore they considered
II inconseQUcntIal.
If the clouds held back each drop Of
rain because it was but one" the earth
would never he vatered
And if no one ever wrote me that they

GRAY LINEN EMBROIDERY
Is VERY POPULAR

Heavy gray linen is much used for the
background for embroideries which are
to be employed as house decorations.
Bedrooms and living-rooms for coun-
try houses are furnished in gray in many
instances, and the linen is used for bed
hangings, cushion covers, tablecloths. and
window hangings.
Ambitious needlewomen are embroider-
ing these articles in quite elaborate de-
signs in several colors.
For one bedroom a set of hangings for
the bed and windows is being made of
the gray linen. embroidered with designs
Of wood fairies and fuchsias in tones of
violet, green, pale yellow, and fuchsia

This simple house dress is made on
the newest of fashionable lines.
The plain waist is cut in peasant style,

the material is narrow. but the closing
is in the front, on the left side.
