Grape Sherbet.
Popularity of CrePes.

The new materials that are being
shown in the shops are strong in their
emphasis on the crepe weave. The new
crepe satins with rather a heavy crinkle
are wonderfully beautiful and very sup
pie. Shantung has come into popularity
again in a Canton weave that is pro-
duced in exquisite colors. 1t lends itself
admirably to a very vivid shade Of
shrimp pink. a color that is hard and
fiat in certain materials, but very beau
tiful in the soft, slightly mat surface OF
shantung. There are also some very
lovely broche crepes among the raw
silks.
The cotton crepes stand first in popu-
larity among the thin cotton fabrics, and
there are some charming patterns in
Powered crepes and crepes printed or
embroidered in the new Cubist colors
and designs.

SINCE BRYAN MADE
GRAPE JUICE POPULAR

Since Mr.. Bryan's famous grape juice
dinner some one has hunted around in
the archives of the Department of Agri-

partment's publications a lot of recipes
for using the delicious juice of the
grapes. Among those given by Uncle
sam are the following:
Grape Nectar.
Take the Juice of two lemons and one
orange. one pint of grape Juice, one small
cup Of sugar, and a pint of water. Serve
ice cold. II served from punch bowl.

The two weeks return engagement of
the lecture and pictures descriptive of
Capt. SCOTS expeditions to the south
polar regions began last Monday to en-
terrain large audiences and are continu-
ing to attract great interest
Mr.. Herbert G. Pointing, fellow of the
Royal Geographical Society. of London,
and official camera artist of the ex-
petition that accompanied Capt. Scott
on his last Inflated journey, is a most
interesting and instructive lecturer, and
tells many delightful stories of the birds
and animal life of the south polar re-
gions. OF these the story he tells of a
comical little Adele penguin Is perhaps
the quaintest. While the lecturer was
observing a pair of these creatures one
day a sleek young fellow ran away and
came back directly to deposit a stone
at his feet. which is the penguin's way
of expressing admiration during mating
time for his adored one. But Mr.. Pont-
ing's answering "qwuack'' was sufficient
to disalluslon the penguin, who speedily
ran away.

Cromwell waged war on Holland, and
the country was seething with internal
disturbances. Only those who could
make a noise in the world attracted any
attention, and IL is not Of record that
PETER made any more noise tnan
mouse. Apparently, all he wanted was
the privilege Of painting the most mar
velous interiors. with amazing effects OF
light and shade.
As In the case OF Hobbema, de Hooch's
greatness was first recognized in Eng
land, where the authorities made such
a fuss about his work trat Holland
swiftly came to the conclusion that II
had neglected one of its great men. Then
began the difficult business OF finding
out something about him.
After great searching, II was finally
determined that he was born In Rot
terdam about 1892. What he did and
where he lived during the rrst twenty
three years of his life are unknown. He
Is described as a painter and servant to
a certain merchant, who was Also some
thing of a patron OF the arts. De Hooch
lived In Delft for two years. from 1855 to
1857. as the record of his marriage there
and his membership in the painters
guild prove. From that time until he
turned up in Amsterdam eleven years
later there is no trace OF him. He painted
pictures in l6T7, but after that all record
Of him is lost, except that he died in
Haarlem about 1881.
De Hooch was one of the kindliest and
most charming painters OF homely SUBJ
Jects that Holland has produced. All his
paintings that have survived are small
The only large canvas that he ever
painted was destroyed in the fire OF
Rotterdam in 1864 Sometimes he chose
a drawing-room with dancing cavaliers
and ladies as his subjects. but he much
preferred the homelier scenes. especially
interiors illuminated by different inten-
stiles OF light. and his special Joy seems
to have been in painting furniture.
