vigor.
The Cortez is the first and really the
fundamental step of the Argentine. II

the partners not touching one an

FL Charon is danced by both part
ners walking down the dancing floor,
facing the same direction, instead of
one another. They both start for
ward with the outside foot and take
one step; then one with the inside
foot; then again one with the out

three beats of the music.
In La Crusade the hands of both

bringing it full on the heel. Next
the left foot points to the left and

What War Has Brouoht.

Thousands of cameras and movine
picture machines were confiscated in
Germany when war was declared
This resulted In hundreds of Ameri
cans being deprived of innumerable
snapshots of an entirely innocent
character. But the Germans knew nc
exceptions. They were taking nc
chances. Sketches by artists, espe
cially landscapes, were seized. Nc
campstool with legs that would un
screw was permitted to go through
the lines. These stools, by the way
equipped with hollow legs SO brushes
can be handily carried about in them
have always been regarded with sus.
picion. Shortly before war broke out
a well-known English artist was held
because plan of a fortress was
found in a leg of his stool when
opened. He was thrown into Jail.
Eventually it was proved by a German
woman that a secret agent anxious to
make good" had taken the artists
brushes out of the stools leg and
placed the plan there. The artist was
then released, but what punishment
was meted out to the agent was not
disclosed. He probably was commend.
ed for his vigilance.

Keeping Flowers With SUGAR.

Two professors of the School of Ag.
riculture at Rennes, France, have made
some interesting experiments in pro
longing the lives of cut flowers. One
hundred different flowers were used in
the experiments, and it was found that
sugar helped to keep most of them
fresh, but was positively injurious to
lilies and sweet peas. 1t fastened the
opening Of roses and orchids, but did
not thus affect tulips, daisies or chrys-
anthemums.
Experiments were made with small
quantities of choral, ether. glycerin,
alcohol, limewater and ammonia salts,
each of which served to lengthen the
life of various flowers. Some of the
flowers KEEP in sugar and water lived
four times as long as they ordinarily
would.
The sugar does not have an exactly
equal effect on the different flowers it
preserves. Carnations seem to like a

The Pinch.

Miss Edith Wharton, the novelist,
who happened to be in Paris at the
beginning of the war, is devoting her
self there to aiding the poor midin-
cites.
Il wanted to do something" she
said. "and l decided to devote my
self to helping the little Partisan
dressmaker's apprentice who finds
herself destitute, now that the ateliers
are all closed. We Americans, who
owe. SO much to the midinette, should
feel it our duty to help her.
Il find" Miss Wharton, continued,
that these charming young girls have
very modest appetites. A franc day
buys them the same sort of nourish-
ment that they are accustomed to. l
expressed my surprise at this to the
premiere of fashionable dressmaker.
Smiling, she replied:
You should not be surprised. She
is chic, our midinette, and, since her
wage is small, she makes both ends
meet by leaving the middle empty"

PREPARING THE SALAD
IMPORTANT POINTS THAT MUST
BE REMEMBERED.
Flavor Should Be Varied, and That Is
by No Means a Hard Task-Mix
the Dish Immediately Be-
fore Serving.

Avoid giving all salads the same
condiment one is perhaps overload
of. Variety is the main spice Of
salads as of life. While connoisseurs
all agree that pure, fresh olive oil is
the best for salads, there are people
who prefer the fat smoked bacon and
relish Its flavor above all else.
1t Is we'll to remember that we
should know how to substitute one
condiment or another, If necessary,
and not go saladless for want of one
particular fiavoring material.
Salt Is perhaps the one indispensa-
BILE seasoning, and of all flavoring
substances the onion is the most valu
able and enjoyable to all, even to
those who would not willingly eat
the salad If they knew the onion had
been used For use in salads, how
ever, the onions must be mild in flavor
and their presence cunningly con-
cealed.
Salads of all kinds should be gently
handled. That Is, they should not be
heavily turned, but mixed in very
large bowl, by running the fork and
spoon down the sides of the dish and
then gently tossing the salad with an
upward movement, letting it mix as it
falls back.
In mixing a plain lettuce or other
green salad it is well to put the oil on
first and then carefully toss the leaves
about until all are covered, in every
part, with thin coating of the oil.
Then add the other ingredients and
toss again. A small quantity of oil
is sufficient when this method of thor
ough mixing is observed
Lettuce should always be very care
wanted and then wrapped in a wet
cloth and put directly on ice until it is
wanted.
A salad should never be mixed I'M
til just before it is to be served.
The various accomplishments of a
salad add much to its attractiveness.
One thing full of possibilities is the
wafer. These should always be crisp,
and If they are damp they can be
cr1sped In the oven. Small waters
favored with cheese are delicious with
salad. So are thin salt waters dotted
with butter and sprinkled with pep
per and Drowned in the oven. These
should be served hot
Then there is the cheese of various
sorts that is served with salad I'M
ported cheese, naturally, is going up
In price because of the war, but moth
ing is better than Philadelphia cream
cheese, made into little balls and
rolled in ground nut meats, or with
two halves of walnuts or pecans
pressed into the sides of a cheese
ball.
American domestic cheese sprinkled
on waters which are heated in the
oven is also decidedly appetizing.

Short Cavalry Rifle.

There is considerable agitation In
military circles for the adoption of
a short-barreled rifle for use in the
cavalry. The reason for this proposed
change is that the handling of the
instrument would be materially facili-
tated, while its weight would be de-
creased-always an important consid-

Gates in the experiments, and it is
believed possible that through them

English Forbade Games.

This is no time for games" says
Lord Roberts, and it may be recalled
that in bygone centuries our two
great national sports, cricket and foot
bail, were forbidden under heavy pen
alties because they interfered with
warnke exercises. Under a statute
OF Edward " cricket was expressly
condemned on account of its keeping
the youth from archery practice, upon
which the national safety so largely
depended, ana anyone indulging in il
was liable 20 two years Imprisonment
Founders of public schools, also, as in
the case of Harrow. forbade almost ali
games except shooting with bow and
arrow."--London Chronicle.
