BY BERNARD,
SO Avenue de IOpera, Paris.

Now that the spring is well advanced
many attractive suits are in evidence.
In quaint style, they have been inspired
not only by the garb of our distant an
cestors, but very frequently by the gay
uniforms of the smart regiments in diff
ferent countries. These are often very
cleverly interpreted by the materials that
are combined in such costumes.
In the accompanying sketch an effective
model, especially designed for the young
woman who favors outdoor sports. is
pleasingly depicted,s 1t is made of Deau-
vile cloth, checked in pale sand color
The skirt Is designed with a long tunic
terial. Beneath this narrow tight
fitting underskirt is arranged, so that
while an appearance of greater width is
given to this skirt, yet at the ankle this
is rather cleverly diminished.
The little jacket, rather sold1erlike in
it's design, is cut away in the front, re-
vealing a smart vest of green and white
striped cloth. This is also used for the
collar. which overlaps the coat. and al
either side are seen the 1aring ends OF
the book muslin collar that seems sc
necessary at the present time to COM
plete the fashionable toilet. Little darts
on the shoulders suggest the military
trimmings, while serried buttons of ivory
flank the vest and prove bright adorn-
ment to this modish creation. The

sleeves that barely reach the wrist are
button trimmed and finished with oddly
shaped cuffs of the striped material.
There is a decided liking for the CAB
ardine suit, which is fashioned with
a skirt of striped material Many of
these are notceably shorter, some Of
them being at least four inches from
the ground. They are usually cut on
very straight lines, but, in contrast to
this severity, the jacket is rather fan
ciful: One very pretty style worn by
the debutante daughter of a noted leader
in diplomatic circles was quite short in
front but in the rear it assumed the
proportions Of a swallow-ta1l coat The
broad revers were made Of the striped
fabric, while ebony buttons were effec-
lively used to trim this model.
Many of the smartest tailored frocks
for street wear are cut on very simple
lines. Some Of the jauntiest modes are
combined with fashionable plaid silks or
Roman stripes. Other interesting models
are trimmed with braid, while some of
the cleverest conceptions are gayly or
namented with leather-covered buttons
on which are arranged quaint lndianlike
patterns of many colored beads.
Indeed, leather and bead trimmings are
favored on many of the newest cape
coats that are developed In handsome
English checks, whose soft coloring and
light weight make such garments much
in demand for automobile wear
These wraps are all modelled on very
loose, easy-going lines, the raglan sleeve
and wide armhole being most in favor,
so that they may readily be slipped off
and on.

TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS

she chooses but there are some which
she cannot get along well without. Some
housewives have separate sets of dishes
for kitchen use, icebox dishes, and sets

pie equipment need include only two
small teaspoons. two large tablespoons.

be as ornamental as she chooses to add

HOUSEHOLD HELPS.

When windows. woodwork. etc, are
being cleaned. 1t certainly causes a great
deal of unnecessary delay to have to
hunt for clean cloths. This can be avoid
ed by keeping drawer in the pantry or
wherever is most convenient for the pur-
pose. Put old. WORKOUT wooden under
wear stockings. sheets. pillow slips, etc,
into the weekly wash: then. when they
come out fresh and clean, stow them in
this drawer. You will find it a great COM
fort to have cleaning cloths for every
purpose ready at hand.
Do not throw away skewer-either the
are excellent for turning broiling steaks
and chops (making only one puncture
where fork makes two)-also for lifting
boiled and roasted potatoes.
The wooden skewers are handy at house
cleaning time--with the point Of one of
these inserted in cloth, corners of the
window panes. surbaseS and other hard
to-get-at places can be easily cleaned.
Showers are also great help in keeping
clean the places where the handles and
spouts join the main bodies OF the kitch-
en- utensils. and where grease and CRIME
SO easily settle.
If you will have your dining room table
finished without varnish or shellac-that
is, with what is called the oil finish-you
can discard the straw or asbestos mats
which you have found necessary to use
under hot dishes, for with this oil finish
hot dishes can be set directly on the table
without marking 1t.

In Place of Hot Cakes

| Everything has season and winter is
surely the season for hot cakes. Some
persons there are so devoted to this
delicacy that they would gladly indulge
in it twelve months in the year. but their
taste should not be allowed to get the
better of their good sense. Summer is
not the time for hot cakes at breakfast.
The fruit fritter is a good substitute
for hot cakes To make it add any fruit,
canned or fresh, TO good fritter batter.
If canned fruit is used drain the fruit
before adding it to the batter and either
use the strip for the liquid needed in
the batter or else save it to serve with
the fritters Canned berries of any sort
or cherries are good in fritters. If canned
peaches or any larger fruit is used the
fruit must be cut into suitable pieces
before being added to the batter.
Small fresh fruits should be looked over
and washed and dried before adding to
fritters. Larger fruit should be pared
and cut into small pieces and then al
lowed to stand sprinllled with sugar and
a little bit Of grated lemon rind for an
hour before using.
French toast can occasionally be served
at breakfast to the lover of hot cakes.
To make it soak slices of stale bread
in milk mixed with beaten egg. Then
fry dry and brown in butter. Be careful
in the frying not to let the toast become
greasy. Serve it with butter and sugar
and cinnamon with strip or without any
addition.
1t would be we'll to eliminate all rich
food from the warm weather breakfast
Fruit really ought to take the place OF
the heavier foods. But some persons do
not find fruit agreea BILE. and some do not
find that it is sufficiently satisfying.
Perhaps a taste could be formed for toast
made of thin slices of bread toasted
golden brown and rather dry. This could
then be buttered. 1t is peculiarly appe-
tizing and it is satisfying.
The person who has been used to eating
hot cakes for breakfast usually Graves
sweets, for sweet strip is the usual
accompaniment of hot cakes. This crav-
ing can be satisfied to some extent with
fruit. Marmalade. honey and jam car
also be eaten with toast to supply the
sweet wanted

THE MOTH EVIL.

Moths deposit their eggs in early
spring. This. therefore. is the time to put
away furs and woolens for the summer.
1t is not the moth. but the maggot of the
moth that does the mischief. To effectu-
ally preserve them from the ravages of
these insects thoroughly beat the furs
with thin rattan. and air them for sew
eral hours; then carefully comb them
with clean comb, wrap them up in
newspapers (moths dislike the printing
ink of newspapers) perfectly tight, and
put them away in a thoroughly tight
chest, lined with tin or cedar wood.
They should be taken out and examined
in the sun at least once a month.

preventives well as the oldest known

DRY DEMOCRACY?

It is probable that President Will son, as well as every other man entrusted with great power, has often wished that he could be de- livered from his friends, says the Cleveland Leader
 For instance, there is his great and good friend, William Jennings Bryan, who has developed an un- expected propensity for laundering since he has been the head of the State Department, not wholly re yealcd even by his free silver prop agaudo. And then came Secretary Daniels with his order aboIishing the wine mess for officers on board all naval vessels. This order, to become effective, must be ap- proved by the President
 1r. Wilson adroitIy side-stepped the equal suffrage issue, when it was put squareIy up 10 him, by declining to act on the ground that it had not been passed upon by the Democratic party. But he cannot evade the one Secretary Daniels has raised
 If he fails to endorse the order he will invite the resignation of Mr. Daniels and arouse the wrath of the prohibition element in his party, which is powerful just now in the South. If he does endorse f. there arc many who will con- sl1er that he is tying his party up to prohibition, which, to say the least, would be a startling state of affairs. For, from the time the liquor question was injected into politics. the Democratic party has been Liberal" The Republican party hts leaned more toward reg ua,ioa sa. suppression.
 The situation is m interesting onc-azu...ay for the "practtcal" politicians.

 He only is exempt from failure who makes no effort
 In the lexicon of youth, which fate reserves for a bright manhood there Is no such word as fau-it comes later in life.
 There are so many reasons which can logically and truthfully be ad- vanced as causes contributing to the numerous failures that I will eudeavor to analyze only the principal ones-the business failures.
 Every failure is a step to success; every detection of what is false di- rects us to what is true; every trial ey- hausts some tempting form of error Not only so, but scarcely any attempt Is entirely a failure; scarcely any the ory, the result of steady thought, is altogether false. No tempting form of error is without some latent charm derived from truth.
 Failure is, in a sense, the highway to accomplishment. inasmuCh as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterward carefully avoid.

MANY WILL GO BACK.

Some Of the Americans wDo-flca from Mexico when the crisis following the Tampico incident stirred Mexican mobs to hostile demonstrations, in numerous cities, have already returned to the mines. ranches, railroads, .oiI fields aud other places of employment which they abandoned. Many more will follow them soon if they think there Is a fair prospect for Ueace between this country aad Mexico.
 It is perfectly natural that these men should take such chances. They cannot justly be hLamed as foolhardy or indifferent to the risks they create Of International complications. They are drawn to Mexico by forces which often lead men to stake their lives on the outcome of doubtful ventures.
 Some see the savings Of many years of hard work i'll jeopardy. Others have been driven from their best and perhaps their only means Of earning a living.
