brass buttons on eoat front.
For wear with a dark blue suit moth
ing prettier can be imagined than a
gray straw resembling linen, trimmed
in velvet, matching the suit fabric in
shade.
Another pretty chapeau for this color
suit is of soft tan straw banded with
black straw midway in the brim and
tipped with the black at edge of brim.
The only trimming is an ostrich quill

A Long Swim.

The distance from New York to
Hamburg is 4,S2O miles and from New
York to Bremen, 1926.
Nature ordains that some of her SUBJ
jects shall have thin eyebrows, but
though these people can probably never
cultivate a luxurious growth they can
improve their appearance wonderfully
by using the proper care. Vaseline
should improve the growth. Rub it
we'll in at night, battle the eyebrows in
the morning and then put a little pc
troleum on them. Brush the eyebrows
a couple of times a day with a small
soft brush. but never brush or rub
them the wrong way. Olive oil is also
a good stlmulant for the eyebrows. If
you wish a more elobrate preparation
try this one, which should be applied
with a camel's hair brush night and
morning: Two ounces Of red vaseline.
one drachm of tincture Of c~antharides.
fifteen drops of oil of lavender and fif-
teen drops of oil of rosemary. Mix the
ingredients thoroughly.

To Clean White Plnmes.
MY dear Miss Doom

4@J a@@A
Do you know of anything that will clean
white French plumes, other than gasoline
or any liquid substance? l have three
beautiful white French plumes, and,
though 1 got them only since Christmas,
they are very soiled looking from dust.
1 heard of flour being used. If SO. how
should / go about it? Perhaps you know
of something better. l don't want to use
ANYTHING thai will necessitate my having
them recurled. Hoping you can help me,
I remain, very gratefully yours,
MISS G.. V. H.
Yes. flour is very good for cleaning
plumes n after using it there Will
probably be no necessity for having the
pIumes recurled. First shake them out
well in the open air, in order to get rid
of the loose dust. Then cover them
with flour that has been heated very
warm, but not Drowned. Let them re-
main in this for about half an hour.
then shake out, cover them again with
clean heated flour, put them in a band
box and let them remain for two or
Three days. At the end of this time
shake them out we'll and o will find
that most of the dust will come out
with the flour. If the plumes are not
as white as you desire to have them
repeat the applications. If you desire
to give them that fluffy appearance
shake them over the stove, holding
them near enough to receive the heat
but not to be scorched.

PIQUE WITH TRIMMING OF
EMBROIDERY.

There are SO many pretty materials
this season for the making of little
girls dresses that 1t is really difficult
to choose among them, but the piques
are especially lovely and they are pecul-
iarly we'll adapted to this model. In
the illustration the material is pale
blue and the trimming Is white eyelet
embroidery. Altogether the frock is
daintily charming. The square neck
and the short loose sleeves are both
fashionable and pretty. and the greater
number of girls like them within doors
even during the early season. but, new
ertheless, there are many tastes to be
considered and the sleeves can be made
in three-quarter or full length with
cuffs, and the neck can be made high,
either with or without a collar. Again
there are many materials hat can be
used. Linen and pique suggest them
selves at once for the better dresses,
but ginghams, chambrays, percale and
galatea are admirable for morning wear
and the trimming can be the same ma
terial braided or embroidered or a con-
trasting one. In the back view, linen
is shown with a little finish Of soutache
on the yoke and cuffs. In the small
view, the dress is shown with round
neck and a little embroidery applied
over the yoke. All these treatments
are desirable and In style. For the cool
DAYS that still remain the dress made
with high neck and long sleeves would
be pretty for serge or shepherds check
or any material of the kind, and line
and all washable fabrics are charming
for the coming season. The dress Is
plated and Joined to a lining yoke that
is cut without points and the pointed
woke is finished and arranged over the
lining. In whatever way the sleeves
are finished they are cut in one piece
each. The closing of the dress is be-
meath the box plat at the back and az
the left of the yoke.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

There is nothing that gives pantry
shelves a greater appearance Of tidi-
ness than having them covered with
white namel paint. and this is econ
omy In the long run First scrub them
well and then apply a coat of ordinary
white paint, after 1t dries apply a coat
of the enamel paint. They are then
easier to keep clean than when papers
or other shelve coverings are used, and
the effect is very attractive.
To brighten dull furniture and yet
not injure the highest polish, dampen
a clean sdusting cloth with equal parts
of turpentine and coal oil-be sure and
have the proportions equal; turpentine
alone will cut the varnish.
Bran is an excellent cleaner. Try 1t
on some light colored cloth. Apply 1t
by simply rubbing on the soiled ma
terial In a dry condition, rubbing the
spots a little harder than the rest, and
then brush 1t off.

When making coffee observe the rue
proportion of dry coffee and water, six
parts water and one part ground coffee,
then 1t will be right provided you have
the water boiling when you pour it IN
and boil it not less than five minutes
nor longer than ten.
In making tea have a favorite brand
you; tea is blended more conscientious
ly than coffee and will be found more
uniform in flavor. Heat the teapot be-
fore putting IN the tea and Glse freshly
boiled water.
Many Of the new teapots, particularly
the electrical ones, are made with a
~percolator similar to a coffee perco-
lator; this prevents the extraction Of
harmful tannic acid.
Cakes are less apt to stick to pans
If oiled with lard or with fat contain
ing no salt. Some cooks do not grease
their pans at all, but allow their cakes
to remain in the pans until they shrink
from the sides of the pan; others grease
the pans with a bit of suet and then
sprinkle -four ove the grease. The best
way to do with a cake tin is to line it
with paraff1ne paper. This comes in a
long roll and may be cut to fit the pan
neatly and its cost is very moderate.
Cakes mixed with water are finer
grained, but not SO rich as cakes mixed
with milk, and they are tougher in e
ture when mixed with water, cutting
like sponge cake rather than pound
cake.
Pound cake batter should be as stiff
as it can be stirred; ordinary u cake
batter just thick enough TO cling to the
mixing spoon and sponge cake so thin
that 1t may be poured into the tins.
When mixing cakes remember that
some -four thickens more in proportion
than others, 50 be cautious about put
ting In the last measure or your cake
batter may be too stiff and then your
cake viii be dry.
When baking bread 1t is better to

RAISED CORNBREAD

Heat a pint Of milk almost to boil
ing and pour it upon a u and a half
of corr meal. Let 1t stand until cool;
then stir in a half yeast cake dis
solveds in a half cup of warm water,
a tablespoonful of sugar and a half
cup of white -four. Let this rise over
night in a corner which is not too
warm or five or six hours in a kitchen
at the ordinary temperature. 1t should
rise to double its original size. Stir
in then a teaspoonful of melted butter,
a half t~easpoonful of salt, and two
beaten eggs. Beat hard, turn into
muffin tins and set in a warm place to
rise for fifteen minutes before baking.
1t will require about twenty minutes
in a steady oven. Eat hot.

The Troubles of Eighteen.
DEAR Miaa Doon:

+ Dear Miss Doom:
1 am a faithful reader of The Evening
Star. and. seeing you have helped others
I am going to ask you to help me. l am
Is years old and am desp erately in love
with a young ma Of q. but I cannot md
cut whether or not he loves me. I am
trying to win his friendship for the last
year, but 1t seems ell I can win Is a
smile. We are both employed in the same
place. Perhaps he might speak to me on
the street II 1t were not for my girl friend,
who passes unpleasant remarks about him
as we pass. Kindly advise me what you
think is best to do. whether I should put
this young man out of my mind and forget
him or keep on lowing in vain. with
thanks. A BROKEN
You are too young to be desperate
" in love- with anyone and should
have too much common-sense and
pride to try to force attentions from
any man. Men are wise, my dear girl,
and however cleverly we think we are
iding our intention they generally
see through our ndeavors to interest
them. with a result which is at times
opposite to the one we anticipate. It
is his place, not yours, to make all the
advances. The act that you have
tried in vain for the last year to win
this mans friendship ought to con-
vince you that 1t Is time o gave up
your efforts. I think he will respect
you more if you attend strictly TO bust
ness and do not spend any of your
employers time watching for the smile.
1t is the girl whose entire mind is on
her work during working hours who
succeeds in the end, mo- only In ad-
vancing herself financially, but in gain
ing the admiration of all who know
her.
Finally, I think L should try to re-
form a companion who Is rude
enough to pass remarks about those
she meets on the street. Can't you
explain to her that by 80 doing she
is laying herself open to ~unfavorable
comment and that her self-respect, II
nothing else, should prevent her from
giving others the idea that h is ILL
bred?
And now be a sensible girl. Devote
yourself to your work and in your
leisure moments try to do some study
ing SO that IL the opportunity for an
advancement comes o will be pre-
pared to avail yourself of it. Above
all things don't begin to pity yourself
as a girl whose whole life Is shattered
by an u~nrequited love. You know
that yours is not "a broken heart" SO
don't try to make us believe 1t is.

THE NEW RIBBONS

Different from these shaded effects
is a ribbon with quarter-inch stripes
of graded colors in blue A broad band
Of plain satin in black extends through
the centre.
Satin ribbons In double-faced ombPes
are popular. A contrasting color ap-
pears upon either side. grading from
the darkest o to almost white.
These ribbons are rather expensive,
but most unusual and exquisite IN
effect.
The return Of the sashes TO fall favor
gives the ribbon an important part to
play in the spring and summer fash
ions. a dainty girdle Of lovely ribbon
encircling the waist gives an air of
freshness and daintiness to q lingerie

Over here ribbons are used in lavish
profusion. These bands of silk, SO
closely associated with dainty femf-
ninity the world over. have through
countless ages gained u love and
admiration.
Ombre effects are the leading nov-
city of the spring season. These are
shown in a great variety of designs.
Soft taffeta ribbons shade from the
darkest color at one edge TO the palest
tint on the opposite. One OF the most
attractive ombre ribbons is in a
changeable' effect Of gold and rose.
In another effective combination
green and gold are used. The colors
are deepest in the centre and fad TO
the highest tints at the edges.

make two small loaves rather than
one large one, for they rise more evenly
and bake better; do not open the oven
door to look at bread until it has been
II fifteen minutes. If it is browning
too fast lay a piece Of paper over tina
top or lay a pan over the loaf. Do not
put a cup of water in the over when
baking. with an idea of lowering the
temperature, for that makes steam in
the oven n prevents the bread or
cake from rising.
Women should consider their time of
some value and plan TO save that as
well as their strength; therefore. any
continuance that saves labor is worth
giving a fair trial; a kitchen is not
furnished in this day that does not
contain a food-ehopper. It repays its
original cost in what il saves in making
leftovers palatable and dainty, TO say
nothing Of the hundreds of other uses
it can be put to. A woman told me
today that she used to make Maryland
beaten biscuit by pounding the mix
ture thirty minutes with a wooden pad
die and that now she simply runs the
dough through a food-chopper three
times and it is lighter than by the old
time method and only takes five min
utes. A ricer. too, is Invaluable. not
only for ricing potatoes. but for max
ing vegetable purees and for pressing
fruit and for making beef tea.
A m~ayonnaise mixture is excellent for
its intended use. With II a -mayonnaise
never curdles or separates during the
mixing process. It may be used, too,
for whipping cream and beating eggs.
