would be as out of place as the regula-

It may be worn for dinner even when
there are one or two guests. and 1t may

But II must never be worn at dinner

and 1t must never be worn when a

It must never be worn to dinner at an

course it must not be worn In a hotel

It is the. ideal gown to wear when one
wishes to be dressed attractively and yet
wishes to be comfortable.
All the rules In a nutshell seem to show
that the formal neglige may be worn by
q woman in her own home after 5

Is of an Informal nature, but that it may
not be worn when formality or many and
strange guests prevail.

In truth the formal tea gown is every
bit as dignifled and every bit as lovely
as many dinner gowns. And as dinner
gowns, like tea gowns, are worn without
corsets. as the two are made Of the same

1t is easy to see that they differ In name
more than in anything else. However

Fashion Touches That Count

CATIN slippers are decorated with small
- punches of artificial flowers instead
of buckles. One decoration is formed OF
three or four tiny pink rosebuds, with
bright purple violets grouped about them
Another is made of pink and blue forget

background for the face and real pro-
lection against the sun.
The floral muffs which were reported
from the Riviera several weeks ago, and
which were then shown in some of the
exclusive shops, are no longer unusual.
The muff is such a delightful accessory
OF Woman's dress that she hates to give
1t up with the coming of Spring; hence
she takes kindly to the dainty combina-
tons of lace, satin, chiffon and flowers
which are made to take the place of fur
muffs. Some of them are made of chiffon,
mounted on satin, bordered with flowers:
others are completely covered with flow
ers sewed close together.

In store. So different is the flavor OF
these much maligned vegetables when
they are properly cooked from their ia
vor when they are raw that they really
afford an answer to the oft-expressed
wish for something new under the sun
in the line of vegetables. One OF the
most delicious ways of transforming the
raw fruit to a digestible and fiavorsome
dish is in the form of timbales.
To make these timbales you will need
cooked cucumber pulp, which may be
procured by putting cucumbers which
have been previously peeled and boiled
through a meat chopper. Use a cup of
this pulp to one-half cup of bread crumbs
and one-half cup of thick cream sauce.
Add a tablespoonful of lemon juice, the
beaten yolks of two eggs and little
onion Juice When these ingredients have
been well mixed fold in the beaten whites
of the two eggs. Bake in timbale molds in
hot water and serve hot.
For an appetiZing vegetable to serve
with the meat course split good size Gu
cumbers lengthwise, leaving the skins on.
Then scoop out the middle pulp, leaving
a strong shell. Chop the pulp, add beaten
egg-one egg Is enough for six cucum-
bers-a cupful of bread crumbs and sea-
soning to taste. Fill the shells, rounding
the filling off at the top, and bake in a
moderate oven for three-quarters of an
hour.

Protection Democrats.

There is little difference between
protection Democrats and Repuhll-
cans. If there is any difference II
is in name only. The Democrats who
stand for protection, in opposition
to the we'll defined principles enun-
ciated in the platform of the Ma
tional Democracy as proclaimed al
Baltimore, can have little claim on
the party in whose name they are
masquerading.
It is the protection Democrats
who are striving to defeat the IN
derwood tariff by coalescing with
the Republicans of the payne-Al-
drich type.
In this talk of protection of sugar
and rice and lumber and even cot
ton, they would assume the attitude
of self-sacrifieing patriots, but they
can not fool the people.
The Underwood bill is strictly a
party measure and it has the sup
port of the majority of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress who are not allied
with Republicans as protection
Democrats.
For instance, the sugar Democrats
are for protection, so are the rice
and the lumber Democrats, and all
the other kinds of Democrats who
are not in accord with the pledge of
Democracy to the people.
Is it not about time when the
Democratic press of Louisiana
should call to account their SEN
ators and their representatives in
Congress who are aligned in opposi-
tion to the Underwood bill under
the pretense Of being protection
Democrats?
From their vote and from their
action these protection Democrats
are known. Fts
II may be said that neithe Wat
kins nor Aswell are of this class.
Congressman Elder of the Fifth Dis
trict is credited with having voted
against free wool which is probably
a mistake. It is to be hoped he has
been unsupported, but what of the
Others--they can not fool the great

Many persons make the error OF
drawing the threads tight when they
are darning or mending. The threads
should never be drawn tight In fact
they should be left a little looser than
the threads Of the fabric which they
replace. Tight threads are sure te
break and so make the darn of no
effect When there is big hole it is
much easier to mend it by darning on
a patch. Match the material as nearly
as possible and cut piece just little
larger than the hole Darn through

you will have a mend that is stronger

When Keith saw that his words were

he modified his tone somewhat
ITS this way. Dorsey-everybody

Paul Dorsey, advertising man and

reputation for pulling off clever stunts.
But this seemed to be an off season.

Handy Needlecase.

An unusual needlecase can be made
by covering two tiny bottles with either
silk or mercerized cotton in a simple
crochet stitch. One of these bottles is
used for large needles and the other
for finer ones. The covers are drawn
closely about the necks of the bottles
fastened. Then crochet two or three
strings of chain stitching and connect
the two bottles. A good idea Is to use
different colors for the covers so that
the needles can easily be distinguished

good arguments, and his best one was
that the baby would grow up to be a
man, and as she was a man hater she
certainly would not want him around.
He had been lying awake all the night
before planning that baby's career.
He should go to college and study
abroad. But all his decided ideas were
merely schemes against a woman's
profound belief that the ability to rear
child is Unborn in one of her sex.
And she coOlly ignored his hit at the
MAN Halter" badge she wore.
1t took them two hours to reach q
decision, and Wilson was very much
bored and very glad when it was over.
Dorsey saw he was re-establishing
himself In her estimation by admit
ting that she had better facilities for
caring for the baby. And she finally
agreed to keep him posted on the
baby's progress and to notify him at
once IL it became ill.,
After they had passed out of the
amusement park Dorsey refused to
part with the baby He astonished her
by declaring he would take the baby
home. When they had arrived at her
home he did not make any pretence
toward leaving SO he was invited to
remain to dinner
Dorsey was no quitter, and he made
1t his business to cling to the baby,
actually holding it on his knee while
he ate dinner Marian began to feel
sorry for him. he seemed to dread
parting with the baby So
As regular as clockwork Dorsey call
ed twice week to see the baby, and
he compelled Marian to furnish ex-
haustive reports of the baby's prog
ress. This made his calls of very
long duration.
Then one morning Dorsey received
a telephone call. The baby was i'll
Dorsey dropped everything and hurried
to the Elliott home. Doctors and nurses
were summoned, because the baby
was really very, very ILL., Dorsey and
Marian took up their vigil in the sick
room through day and then a night
OF long drawn uncertainty, another
dawn, pallid and gray and cold. and
then that quick comprehensive glance
exchanged between nurse and doctor,
which tells Of crisis safely passed.
Dorsey led the baby's foster mother
from the sickroom into the library, and
then, being a mere woman, Marian
broke down. and Dorsey. being a very
human man and filed with a deeper
understanding of this little woman and
the little incubator Cupid In the next
room who had so mysteriously drawn
them together, took her in his arms
and held her close to his hungry heart.
