PRETTY COLOR SCHEME
FLOWER PUNCHES A NOVELTY
FOR AMBITIOUS HOSTESS.
just the Requisite Something New,
That ls So Much Desired-Nastur-
tium Probably the Easiest
That Can Be Made.

When a color scheme is to be care.
tully carried out the novelty-loving
hostess can use flower punches or
icea.
An appetizing nasturtium punch is
made by chopping fine the fifty freshly
gathered nasturtium blossoms rubbed
to a paste with four tablespoonfuls OF
sugar Boil for five minutes pound
OF sugar and quart of water; take
from the fire and add the juice of one
lemon and two oranges, the grated
rinds of the orange and the nastur-
tium paste. Let the mixture get cold.
freeze and pack away for at least two
hours. Serve in sherbet glasses gar.
nished with nasturtium blossom and
the glass set in bed of leaves and
tendrils.
Fresh violets may be used in the
same way, adding the juice of two
lemons and emitting the oranges.
Just before freezing stir in a pint of
purple grape Juice, and when frozen
stir in meringue made from the
well-beaten whites of two eggs and a
tablespoonful of powdered sugar.
Stand three hours to ripen and gar
nish with candied violets. If you can
not get the fresh violets, color with
grape Juice only.
For rose ice, wash carefully pint
of freshly culled pink or red rose
petals and pound them to paste with
two ounces of graduated sugar. Add
a quart of water and pound of sugar,
boil ten minutes and cool without
straining, when the juice OF half a
dozen oranges is added. Freeze and
serve in sherbet glasses, the stems
twined with rose leaves and the ice
garnished with candied rose petal and
a mat made of petals and foliage on
the plate.
For green punch chop tender mas
turtium leaves and tendrils-enough
to weigh half a pound-and rub to a
paste with two ounces of granulated
sugar. Boil for five minutes a pound
OF sugar and quart of water add Juice
OF two lemons and two oranges and
the leaf paste. When cold freeze and
stand three hours. This may be sery-
ed with green liquour poured around
1t. A few drops of vegetable coloring
may be added If needed
A mint ice may be, made in the
same way, using sixteen large stalks
of mint. Serve with creme de menthe
poured over the ice.
In making any flower punch be sure
the petals are fresh. have been care

sugar and Butter Cooked Together to
Make a Most Appetizlng Tit-Blt
for the Table.

Whistles, a sweet which must have
been great dainty in the days when
1t was first concocted, are made, ac-
cording to an ancient recipe, in the
following manner:
Cream a half pound of sugar and a
quarter pound of butter and beat six
eggs, yolks and whites separately.
Add the eggs to the creamed sugar
and butter and then add enough flour
to make a thick batter In the old
days rosewater was considered a del
icate and delicious fiavoring. but va
nilla might suit the modern palate
better; anyway, add some fiavoring.
Butter sheet of paper and spread
1t on holding or bread board. Drop
the batter with tablespoonful at in
teryals of three or four inches on the
paper e9reading each drop out thin.

@DRY CLEANING" AT HOME
Method by Which Time and Money
May Be Saved, and "Llfe" Of
the Goods Prolonged.

Every woman knows the ruinous
sums 1t costs each season to have
her evening frocks, light suits. silk
blouses. and other unwashabie arti,
cles dry cleaned. Where gasoline is
possible as renovator she may
sometimes try the experiment of do
ing little of her own cleaning, but
1t Is seldom successful, and 1t is as
hard to lose the odor of gasoline as
It is to acquire the odor of sanctity.
Also 1t is dangerous.
therefore, the knowledge of some
simple methods of dry cleaning that
can be done at home, and that leave
no trace of the process, would save
many a precious dollar to the woman
who is running to the limit of her
allowance for dress The materials
required are very simple-fuller's
earth, block magnesia, boracic talcum
powder, -four, and borax, or even
plain cornmeal. The first three can
be bought by the ounce or pound
from and druggist. and the others are
always In the pantry or store closet.
For white suit it is perfectly safe
to use either the meals or talcum
powder. white serge suit, for err
ample, can be very successfully
cleaned by putting It into dry, clean
tuo and covering 1t over with corn
meal slightly sailed. The suit can be
rubbed with the hands exactly as 10
1t were in soapsuds, the most ener-
getie rubbing naturally being given TO
the spots which are most soiled. Aft.
er it has been thoroughly gone over,
tne meal should be thrown out and
the gown put back into the tub and
covered over with clean meal It
should be left there for two days,
with cloth over the tub to keep out
the dust, and then shaken out and
brushed with perfectly clean brush.

Put half pound of granulated
sugar into a clean copper or porcelain
saucepan, add one gill of water and
allow to dissolve; bring to a boil,
add pinch of cream tartar, remove
the scum carefully and continue to
boil till it registers 200 degrees F.,

the fork or spoon to and fro; the
sugar will then form the desired

At one time any handkerchief that
had its snowy wilderness sullied by a
colored border was considered poor
taste, but now we not only think col

colored handkerchiefs are also chos-

handkerchief with a different eolored
border. In both handkerchief and hem

LY TO RESULT FROM THE GREAT
HOMECOMING MOVEMENT
IN 1918.

Newspapers of Virginia are discuss
ing with considerable enthusiasm the
plan of a great Homecoming in 1915 of
exiled virginians. Should the plan be
carried out and result in most OF the
exiled remaining In their native State,
the Old Dominion would receive an
impetus that would place 1t far in the
lead OF many other States of the
country. According to the latest
figures available, there were 2,464,-
s45 natives of Virginia in the United
States in 1910. OF that total. 1,843.-
1872 were living in Virginia and 621.-
693 were living in other States. A,
the same time, 1856 natives OF
other States were living in Virginia,
making the total population natives
of the United States living in Virgins

population the balance against Vir.
ginia was 432,soT OF the total mum.

and 355.2S2 in other Southern States

Even before the war and subsequent
general Decentralization, natives OF Vir-
ginia travelled far afield and made
their records upon the history OF the
country. Many exiles of later gen
erations have made their marks
wherever they have settled, and have
been influential in the development OF
the country. II they could all come
home and tell their stories, a most in
teresting and inspiring exposition
would be made, and 1t is believed that
not few of them would discover that
Virginia offers just as great induce
ments for the exercise of productive
energies az the regions where they
now have their home. If not greater
ones.

SECRETARY WEBB EXPECTS
LARGEST ATTENDANCE IN THE
HISTORY OF ASSOCIATION.

Colonel Garland E. Webb, secretary
treasurer 10 the Tobacco Association
OF the United States, which meets IN
annual session in Richmond this week,
has this optimistic review OF the forth
coming convention in the current Is
sue of the Southern Tobacco Journal.
OF which he is editor:
The time for the holding OF the an
nual convention of the Tobacco Asso-
citation 70 the United States Is near a,
hand. A week from now. and tobacco
men Will be gathering in Richmond
the dates being June 5th, 9Th and 7th.
and the meeting will be held at the Je
Jefferson hotel. where special rates
have been secured for the members
and their friends and families Indi-
cations are that the meeting will be
the largest IN point Of attendance the
association has ever held. and the
The committee from the various
business organizations In Richmond
are planning for a series OF entertain
ment which will appeal 10 the pleasure
side OF the occasion. We are receiv-
transportation people and tobacco sup
ply nrms. saying they will be In at
tendance Aside from the business
end OF the meetings OF the conven-
ton. and from the importance OF
maintaining the organization. and
from the Importance of maintaining
the organization. and from the pleas
ure OF the occasion. tobacco men will
find 1t OF great interest to meet to-
gether and discuss the tobacco situa-
ton. 1t will be a great opportunity
for tobacco men from all about to ee,
in closer touch with each other. The
convention also presents a fine oppor-
tuntty for supply people to meet GUS
toners and to create more business.
Transportation men will also ind II
to their advantage to get better ac-
quainted with the class OF men from
whom they derive a great revenue.
Bankers from all tobacco towns and
cities should also meet with their bes,
see at least $50 men at this conven-
ton.
During the meeting of the associa-
ton. the tobacconists will be given an
ali-day excursion to jamestown. To-
bacco as commercial product had its
birth somewhere IN the vicinity OF old
"Jtmtown." and It Ia both proper and
appropriate that there should be q
great gathering OF tobacco men on the
occasion of the excursion, and that a
meeting be held there on the old his
toric spot that will go down In history
as one OF the most important meetings
OF business men ever held. Now let ali
the tobacco men from the big Western
States como In a body, let the boys
from the North and New England fall
In line. and let the men from the South
representing all departments OF our
great industry meet there. and to-
gether talk over their situation. and
only. good results will follow.
