For Women
Hungry School Children.
By BETH JEFFRIES.

Every mother should see that her boy
or girl in the schools Is given nourfsn-
ing food during the winter months.
Under no conditions should the moth
er leave a child to eat cold luncheon. or
neglect to see that he eats enough OF
nourishing food to keep the small body
warm and the machinery going:
A letter written to one OF the New
York afternoon papers by the snperin-
tendent Of the East side Protective As
sociation of New York. voices this cry
for food for the school children.
He makes a strong plea for the pro-
vision of food for the destitute chiioren
of New York's great school army. we
cannot teach empty stomachs ne says.
washington is happily without tne
conditions which exist In New YORK;
and which make it a necessity FOR 1000
to be provided for the school chlidren
bv the Board of Education. but there
is room even here for work IN tms
line.
Children of well-to-do parents are often
sent to school hungry through either
ignorance or laziness OF their parents.
Besides being unfair to the child tnls is
a bad business proposition. for no fair
results may be obtained by trying 70
teach an iIi-fed, badly nourished child.
Hot lunches for growing boys ana
girls served on time, are the responsi,
bility of the parent. and are included
in the mother-teacher cooperative pian.

of the cocoa or chocolate.
The beans are then ground. which
reduces them to a thick. oily liquid.
and 1t is this liquid which when
ter" chocolate We know in our
homes, chiefly used for cooking pur-
poses. To make the sweet choco-
late" sugar and flavor are added to
this oily liquid and cakes Of various
shapes made as before.
Cocoa contains small percent
age of theo-bromine which cor
responds to the stimulating quail
tiles in tea and coffee. But it in
terests the homemaker because of
its high food value given in most
palatable form.
Chocolate: Protein, 1873 per cent:
fat. 4S.7 per cent; carbohydrate,
S0.3 per cent; ash. 2.2 per cent;
water. SO per cent.
Cocoa: Protein. 21.6 per cent;
fat. 2S.s per cent; carbohydrate.
37.7 per cent; ash. 70 per cent:
water. 4.6 per cent
From these figures it will be
seen that cocoa, while less heavy
in fat. is richer in protein or mus
cleforming food. For this reason,
it is by far the better drink since
1t is more easily digested and
more nourishing. Owing also to
tNe large percent Oh 1aI IN eltneT,
our food beverage should not be
made with whipped milk or pref
erably with skim milk or milk di-
luated with half water
While cocoa would seem to be
the easiest made Of all beverages,
few indeed are those who serve 1t
in perfection. Contrary to the
methods of some, the milk and
cocoa should not be boiled. 1t is
best to mix the cocoa with boiling
water, add sugar and let boil un-
til thoroughly blended. then pour
on milk and just bring to a scald.
A few drops of vanilla will make
the drink more perfumed. Then
last-and here is the secret-all
cocoa should be whipped with an
egg-beater before serving. This
blends the cocoa and milk better
than boiling would. breaks up the
skin" which forms in the cook
ing, and makes the beverage light
er and more agreeable.
Since 1t has such high fuel
value. it Is an excellent winter
beverage. 1t should be combined
with starch. to give the best bal
ance and indeed, a cup of cocoa
and wholesome sandwich are a
light meal in itself. Give the chill
dren cocoa for breakfast. Use it
with "pick-up" luncheon. Have
a hot cup ready when the chill
dren come in from school and let
it be one of your most often used
food drinks.

new car, and yet l have seen many
couples get into serious quarrels over
just such a simple matter. The wife
is sure she is right. and her husband
has equally strong evidence to prove his

old kitty cat who lived down the
road. They usually went out of the
back door. and always came back
with a bundle. Some times they car
ried carOrts, or fruit, or vegetables.
but they always had something.
Cottontail never stopped to see
where they went, but he was always
on hand to see that a package was
carried back. He hid in the big
hedge one day when Tommy Tabhy
left the house He was still there an
hour later when Tommy returned. In
his arms he carried a huge bunch of
yellow Chrysanthemums.
That was the last straw. Tom Tab
by had been stealing. Cottontail was
sure Of it. Where else would kitty
boy who was too young to have a
sweetheart get a bouquet of flowers,
the prettiest ones he had ever seen.
Cottcntail hoped home, his nose
wlggling, and his eyes rolling, and
his heart beating like a trip hammer
With trembling paws he got out the
ink. He was going to write to Mrs.
Tabby. Pen in hand he leaned over
the table. Soon the letter was writ

writer to tell Mrs. Tabby that Tommy
had been seen with flowers and fruit
day after day, and asking her to find
out where he got them. He signed
it, lone Who Has Seen" and wiped
the pen. But as he did so he tipped
ever the ink bottle.
The black liquid dyed his paws and
the paper, but did not spoil the letter
so badly that he could not remedy
mattters. He rubbed off the spots
with part of a hind paw, the others
were too inky. and took the letter off
in a hurry. He hoped and slid along
the road like white ghost, crept up
to the Tabby door rang the bell and
dashed away. He was gone like a
streak of moonlight when the door
opened, and by the time it had closed
he was in his own little home.
He drew long breath, and sank
into his easy chair, laying his paws
On his knees. But he jumped up with
cry of horror. His paws We're black

An American Made Fashion
Fete GO1Un In 1860 Model
This Severe Evening Model in a
Decided Louis PHILIPPE Style
Reminiscent of the Early
186O's Shown at the FASH
ion Fete by the House of
Kurzman.

One of the most decided styles
shown at the Fashion Fete held in
New York on November a mas this
epening creation from the house
of Kurzman. 1t Wds auctioned off
BY Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, T,
and the money contributed to the
Belgium relief fund.
The decolletage of this gown is
stiftly marked by a pledting of
phite tulle phich makes almost a
straight line across the bosom and
shoulders. Epen the material re-
calls the quaint styles of the, 1860
period, for white faille and silper
brocade are used.
This style no doubt displays the
fundamental lines upon which
evening creations will be fashioned
this year, but it is undesirable from
one point of piew. None but the
plump can wear it without accentu-
ating the harsher lines of a thin
figure.
One must have a plump neck to
display this Winter at all costs, for
without it, some of the styles are
impossible.
There is little doubt however
that the thin WiH attempt to wedr
the fashionable goWn, but taking
refuge behind expensive shdVls of
fine lace and fflmy net.
As there are more thin necks
than there are plump ones, it mill
be but a short time until rapishing
shawl creations make their appear
ance in the shops.
