KNIGHTS Templars.


The name knights Templars" was
first assumed by a semireligious, semi
military order founded in the twelfth
century for the commendable purpose
of protecting the scattered and dis
banded crusaders At first they were
merely Knights. but after they were
assigned quarters at the palace in Je-
rusalem called Solomon's temple they
became known as Knights Of the Tem-
pie, or Knights Templars. The ancient
order finally became so powerful that
it was suppressed in the fourteenth
century. and the continuity or identity
Of the modern with the ancient one OF
the same name has been warmly dis
puted.-Philadelphi Press.

One evening after Il lengthy debate

the machine is turned the beads placed
within the receptacle are constantly

more beads striking against the point
of the needle at the proper angle are
impaled and so continue on down along
a thread placed to receive them.

Mark Button Places.

A simple and accurate way to mark
the places for the buttons on gar
ment is as follows: Lap the edges cor
rectly and pin them in place: then
with needleful of thread begin at one
end and take a single stitch in every
buttonhole, carrying the thread to the
opposite end. Cut the thread halfway
between the buttonholes, take the sides
apart and there will be bit Of thread

Deep Pie BAKING Hint.

When making deep pie without an
under crust the baking can be fastened
and the upper crust will be less likely
to burn if the baking pan containing
the fruit, with a little water added, is
covered and set in the oven while the
crust is being prepared. 1t should be
thoroughly heated through by that
time and the cooking begun. The same
is true of a batter pudding where the

NEW YORK. January 3. 1914.
The way in which youngsters follow our
clothes is fascinating. They have adopt
ed many of the accessories and not few
of the main features. So far they have
escaped the minaret tunic
Now they have taken up plaid. Those
who design for them have kept the neces-
eary simplicity and cleverly Incorporated
the styles of the day. No slight trick,
this.
No matter what the world may think
of the progress in adult fashions, it puts
a mark of approval on the change in
children's fashions. Gone are the days
when starch did its worst. and picture
books and favorite Juvenile stories in
fiuenced mothers.
Can any one think back of the dread
full days of Little Lord Fauntleroy cos
tunes without a SILVER? The only hope
full thing about it was that only the
prigs, like Fauntleroy himself, wore those
red sashes and long curls without infinite
shame Why do mothers ardently de-
sire to bring up their boys with the
graces of women-likewise their apparel?
No wonder one youngster said that
fathers were given boys to keep thelr
mothers from making girls OF thefa-
Booth Harrington has voiced the protests
of all male youngsters against their moth
er,s ideas in clothes in his stories
! In talking to Boutet de Monvel. Jr..
last summer on this subject he said that
he thought the Americans appreciated
the relation of his fathers pictures to
childrens apparel more than the people
Of his own country. 1t was the Amerl-
cans. he thought, who changed juvenile
dress standards under the influence OF
his fathers drawings
While plaid has always been a favored
design for youngsters, its revival this
season is probably due to its use in adult
fashions. Such colorists Premet de-
lnsistence upon it has compelled the
world to accept the design.
We have gone far along in the edu-
cation of color that the manufacturers
are our allies In giving us the tones that
do not jar and clash. Possibly the re-
crudescence of Roman ribbon with its
lovely colors has brought about the de-
sire for all the striped and plaid fabrics.
Whatever the reason, one can wear plaid
this spring. or before it, with the conf

admitted that they could not approach
those of today. either in grace of line,
style or beauty coloring, TO say moth
ing of the multitudinous array of soft,
new fabrics that are SO largely re-
sponsible for the actual beauty of the
designs themselves.
In almost every instance a combina-
ton of two or more different materials
and trimmings is introduced. This is
evidenced in the design illustrated for
today, where charmeuse and chiffon
make the dress. and fur, embroidery
and net the trimmings.
The charmeuse and chiffon are il
sake blue. with the former used for the
blouse and skirt and the latter for the
tunic skirt and tiny lapels. both OF
which are embroidered in self-coloI
in a coarse conventional design rather
heavily padded.
The blouse has three quarter length
sleeves cut with raglan shoulder eN
tensions to which the fronts and bach
are attached. The fronts are left oper

long and gathered quite full at the

Cranberry Pies.

the simplest manner. Just stewed cram
berries sweetened. not too much, and
nothing else, excepting the crust. Many.
however, do not like the acid, so strong
as in the unmixed cranberry. unless 1t is
softened by excessive sweetening. Here
Is recipe which may please many, and
is given as especially good for those who
do not like so sharp an acid as the cram
berry alone: One cup chopped cranber-
ries, one-half cup raiSins. tablespoonful
of flour. mix i'll one-half cup cold water
scant cup sugar. pinch salt. teaspoon
vanilla. Bake with an under crust and
lay strips diagonally across the top to
show the filling in diamond-shaped open
ings. Many make cranberry pies too dry
and almost like an evaporated jelly. They
should be fairly juicy, but not so excess
sively moist as to run badly.

he had been a most good natured bow.
