The Persian influence on styles in wom-
ems clothes is reflected In the new cush-
ions. The manufacturers have produced
wonderful Persian silks, almost before
the messages from the cable concerning
the Persian influence on styles have been
transcribed And delightful cushions have
been made from these silks.
Really beautiful cushions are made Of
Persian figured silk In combination with
black There is a square of Persian SILK
In the center Of the cushion, put on di-
agonally, with the four corners touch
Ing the middle points Of the four sides
OF the cushions. The four trianeles left
are made of black silk. which brings out
all the richness and deep harmony of the
wonderful Persian colors and designs.
The fad for black furnishings has
brought forth the all-black cushion. This
is generally made of soft China silk and
the shape most chosen for 1t is the has
sock shape. The silk is fastened on
these squat. round cushions ra.ner loose

inches apart.
These same hassock cushions are often
covered with light. soft, figured ST ks-ig-

dainty crepes and silks used for wom-
ems frocks. These silk cushions are most
in their element in the bedroom or bou-
dnir or private sitting room.

- Ew American cooks understand
the possibilities of the meringue.
~ Most of them can make so
called nlerinGue To add TO a
lemon pie or a chocolate pudding.
Even this many of them do poorly. But
the separate meringue, that is baked by
itseif and then favored by means of some
filing, or else Favored before II is baked,
ia unknown to many home cooks
To begin with. a word about the sort
III rneringtle that tops one of Americas
greatest delicacies, the lemon meringue
pie. There Is no excuse for the rubbery,
fiat. sticky mess so often called a mer-
ingue. for a meringue of perfect lightness
and tenderness is as easy to make as the
other more usual sort.
<
Use fresh eggs, and have them cold.
Separate the yoks and whites carefully,
so that no trace of yoHl is m xed with
tho white. Then chill the whites on the
ice. Whip them to a stiff froth with a
perfectly clean egg heater. Often a lit
tie oil from the wheel of an egg beater
will drop into lhe eggs that are below
them and so spoil n meringde. Therefore.
make sure that the egg beater Is as
clean as much hot water, soap and ruo-
bling will make it,
\ pinch OF salt can he added before you
beat the eggs, il you sometimes have
difficulty in whipping the eggs stni. Then
beat them unl. they are d.y, and SO
stiff that they hold Their shape when
turned upside down. Then add sugar.
Graduated sugar is far the best. Some
recipes call tor powdered sugar. but al
ways substitute graduated sugar and
beat it thoroughly into the eggs. Use a
rounded tablespoonful for every egg
white. and 5eat ii until the egg is smooth
and stiff again.
Next comes the baking. Brown the
meringue in a warm. but not scorching
hot oven. When ii is Drowned a light,
golden shade, open the oven door and
pull il to the front of the oven. Let 1t
stand there three or four minutes, and
then stand it in sheltered corner where
no draft can possibly bow on Ii. Ii is a
sudden change of temperature, or sud
den gust of cold wind, that makes many
meringues fall. But q meringue made
with graduated sugar-which makes a
much stronger fabric than powdered
sugar does-and cooled gradually after
ii has been gradually Drowned, runs little
risk Of fall.
The cooked meringueS which are serv-
Ell for dessert are not easy to make.
They must be dried. rather than baked.

~ gress OF School Hygiene held

fa,o. one fact stood out wildly
In the scientific exhibits held in
connection with the congress IN place
Of the old-time "before taxing and
AFTER which used to SAVIOR of the
Chamber of Horrors variety, special
stress was laid on the sane and cheer
full aspects Of forestalling disease by ex-
ercise, fresh air and sunshine.
The old familiar exhibits of wan and
careworn consumptive children were re-
placed in the exhibits with cheerful pic
lures of "pretuberculous' youngsters
busy in the school of the out-of doors,
their faces bright with the hope of
health, typical of the knowledge that
fresh air and sunshine can and will drive
tuberculosis from the earth.
There were wonderful pictures of city
girls engaged In outdoor sports and
games-the New York school girls, for
! instance. who in their Public School Ath-
letic League illustrate the newer health
spirit of the hour, the spirit of whole
some recreation, to Which even the ten
ement seems to succumb.
There were more illustrations OF
healthy teeth than decayed, in the Buff
falO exhibit; there was less emphasis on
the pitiable condition of had teeth and
more stress on the advantage OF good
teeth and above all. there was the spot
less school dental Clinic of Cincinnati and
other cities, with It's promise of better,
cleaner mouths for future school chill
dren.
The one big central fact, both in the
exhibit and in the speeches. was that
school hygiene is to be henceforth con-
sidered from the point Of view of health,
not disease; that sound bodies, clean
minds, normal development, air and sun
light, rational living, education to mt for
natural productive life, are the things to
be stressed and that it is not so much
a fight against disease as it is a fight for
health.
The school hygiene movement today
takes the aspect of how best to ad-
vance the health OF the school child
prevention rather than cure.
