high Thinking and Low Living
By Ruth Cameron.

High ideals are beautiful and wonderful
things. 1T is always an inspiration to me
to meet any one who has some aspiration
and some sense of responsibility in life
beyond surrounding himself and his own
with all the comforts and pleasures ana
friends possible, and living pleasantly
from day to day.
But conversely. it is always a saddening
establishment to find my idealist notably
falling to live up to the little obligations
of daily living.
And yet how often one finds this sad
combination-grand thinking and petty
living, stern ideals and slack reaHties!
For instance, young woman crossed my
path this summer whose beautiful ideals
resi- ons. billy toward our less fortunate
fellow creaturcs were stimulant TO me-
And then one day i heard the woman
with whom she boarded telling how much
trouble and extra work this particular
girl had caused by being consistently and
unnecessarily late to meals. The hostess
is a very hardworking little widow who IS
evidently overtaxinS her strength, and
most Of her guests-even though they do
not have ideals as to the brotherhood OF
man-do all they can to make it easier
for her Naturally, after that, my young
friends ideals failed to inspire me.
Again, the most impassioned champion
OF justice and equal rights for all whom
l ever knew was young man who lived
in boarding house and was disl,ked by
all his mates because he would keep pos

Eiderberry Wine.

Elderberry season is at hand, and the
housewife who likes to add a jug or a
few bottles Of pure homemade wine to
her winter stores will find fermented
elderberry juice valuable as a stimulant
and often as a medicine.
The ingredients necessary for making
the wine are seven pounds Of elderber-
ries and three gallons of water. To each
gallon of liquid thus obtained add three
pounds of graduated sugar, one pound
of raisins, one-half an ounce of ground
ginger. six cloves, one-quarter pint OF
brandy. one-half teaspoonful OF brew
er's yeast
Strip the berries from the stalks. pour
the water, quite boiling. over them, let
them stand for twenty-fOur hours, then
bruise we'll and drain through a hair
sieve or jelly bag. Measure the juice
obtained, put it into a preserving pan
with sugar, raisins, ginger and cloves. in
above stated proportions, boil gently for
one hour and skim when necessary. Let
the liquid stand until milk warm. then
stir i'm the yeast and turn the whole into
a clean, dry -cask. Cover the bunghole
with a folded cloth. let the cask remain
undisturbed for fourteen days, and then
stir in the brandy and bung tightly In
about six months the wine may be drawn
on into bottles. tightly corked and stored
for use.

BY CORA MOORE.

The little coat effects worked out in
combination of taffeta and washable
material are adorable. Distinctly femi-
nine, yet possessed of a certain but not
too obvious hint of careful tailoring, they
are characteristic of the present trend OF
fashion.
The model sketched is of ecru batiste
and delft blue taffeta. The tunic is gath
cred at the top and again just above the
knees where it is cut in scallops that are
shirred into cords Of taffeta with a mar
row frilling, likewise of the silk. then at
tached firmly to the taffeta skirt.
The graceful coat cut on the prescribed
lines. which demand that they all slope
toward the back. is of the taffeta with a
neck frill and bloused vest OF the ba-
tiste, while the girdle. which ends in
chou at the back, is OF velvet ribbon at
least two shades deeper than the tafeta
and run through large eyelets. If pre-
ferred, the materials of the coat blouse
and It's trimmings might be reversed. the
coatee being of the batiste. in continue
ton of the tunic, and the Fittings OF the
taffeta, or it is always attractive to have
narrow batiste rulings headed with cord
ings Of colored taffeta, and would be par
ticularly so in this case.
This is an excellent little frock for the
various occasions and not SO crushable
as many another. To render it still more
desirable for this purpose blouse OF the
batiste which is SO sheer that it adds
next to nothing to the weight, might be
substituted for the pouched vest, and
with taffeta gielle to connect it with
the skirt, and. 10. by leaving off the
coatee, a second costume. both occupy
ing the space in the trunk of only one.
AS fashions are this season all sorts of
transformations are possible, and 1t is
simple matter to ring many changes with
few gowns and blouses, providing
pltniful supply of ribbons and laces is
tucked into the travelling case or trunk
along with them. Beyond that, the in
genious packer knows that an amazing
amount of finery, in these days of filmy,
unlined things. can be stored away into
an incredibly small space.
When these little coat effects were first
introduced over here there was but one
idea, namely, that they would become too
common for the woman who prides her
self upon being we'll dressed to adopt. 50
she failed to respond o'their allurements.
The premise proved without foundation.

Mistakes in Bidding at Auction
CLUBS IN THE NEW COUNT.

unless clubs are trumps, he should do
on the second round Of the bids what
he ought to have done on the first
call two clubs. This would have
warned Y to drop his no-trumper and
let use the good cards to help out his
club call.
AS it was. b led a heart and the no
trumper was set for three tricks sim
ply because Y could not get those clubs
cleared up. SO that never took a
trick.
Give z two tricks in clubs, or one
sure trick in that suit, and a sure
trick IN another suit. and the no
trumper goes game. as would get
in on the first trick with the ace or
queen of hearts. lead a club and duck
it. On getting in again would lead
a club and get three rounds of il. win
ming the second and third with the ace
and king.
While it is quite right to call a club
with suit that is so short you do not
wish it for the trump. but would
rather see it part Of a no-trumper. it
is not right to call a club with a suit
that you do want for the trump. unless
you are also willing for il to be part
of a no-trumper instead. This is an
expensive mistake in the bidding and
should be carefully stunned.

That had thrown out her entire schedule.
and unless l could accommodate her. she
said she didn't know what she would do.
Now Mrs. s. is woman Of unusually
high ideals of justice. Wasn't it strange
that it didn't occur to her to put them
into practice in the relations OF daily life?
OF course. we all know many very well
intentioned people who cause infinite In
convenience and unhappiness by slackness
in paying their debts. ITO talk of living
the higher life and to ignore the financial
integrity of keeping ones debts promptly
and accurately paid some one has said,
lis to speak a meaningless jargcn.'
Now there are many kinds Of consist
ency which are absolute folly. AS for
instance. that which makes a man cling
to q position after he has come to realize
1t is a mistake. out the consistency which
makes a man try to live in little things
as he talks in big ones surely is jewel.
And they who lack this consistency
certainly are talking a meaningless jar

ideals.

Summer Scarfs.

Now that the bodices of the summer
gowns are SO often cut with slight
decolletage, dainty scarfs, both for the
neck and shoulders. are very much in re-

which are intended exclusively for the
neck are made in fine real lace. AS to

Planning Interstate Highway System

Planning Interstate Highway System.
New Orleans, May 6.-The construc-
tion of a national system of paved
highways connecting the Atlantic and
the Pacific and the Great Lakes and
the Gulf will be advocated at the fifth
annual National Good Roads Congress,
which will be held in New Orleans
May 16 to 10. The idea is that the
fedora government capitalize the
enormous benefits that will accrue
from a system of good roads, and, in
cooperation with the various states,
build main highways so located as to
enable the various localities to con-
meet local good roads with the inter-
state system The federal government
will probably be asked to enact a good
roads bill so framed as to divide the
expense between the United States,
the state ard the counties, and to pro
vide a method by which The Interstate
roads so constructed may be kept in
first class shape.
Mayor Behrman. of New Orleans,
has appointed a citizens committee
of 100 live wire good roads people
Which has charge of the arrange
ments for the convention.
Governor Sanders, of Louisiana. a
leader in the Good Roads movement
has issued a proclamation to the peo
pie of the state urging them to give
their support to the movement.
The general problems of good roads
and streets throughout the country
will be discussed by noted speakers
on May l6 and II. 4 Louisiana Coco
Roads association will be formed and
a vigorous campaign in the interest oi
the Good Roads movement in the state
will be launched.
