Talks to Mothers
Mrs. Mary Wicks Editor
You Might AS Well Brighten Up

with the thought that that particular
dish might have given some member
of the family indigestion-you know
you never can tell. And if the house
is dirty and you feel inclined to be-
moan your hard fate in having to
clean it, just think how glad you
ought to feel that you have a house
to clean-lots of people, hundreds of
thousands of them, are not SO fortu-
nate.
"And finally, if you find yourself
getting fat and middle-aged, think
how glad you ought to be that you no
longer need to wear a 20 corset when
you really need %, and shoes that
hurt your feet. You can really begin
to take some comfort in life, even to
the point of letting your double chin
develop without concern.
Seriously, however" concluded the
speaker, "this has really been a great
experience for me. | have found that
just being glad is a delightful game.
There is something for which you may
be thankful in every event in our lives
if we will only decide to find it. And
this resolution has made my outlook
on life so much broader and calmer
and more peaceful that l am genuinely
sorry that / didn't try it years ago
and save myself some of the turmoil,
worry and unrest that / have gone
through-most of it, as / now believe,
utterly needless. Try it yourselves,
and see if my experience will not be
duplicated in your own"

a well-knOwn woman, "that l really
believe will do me lot of good. AT
any rate, it ended in my making a
resolution like the heroine of the book
Just to 'be glad | read it after the
first of the year, so it really can't be
termed a New Years resolution, but,
then, | don't care about that. | have
found that the persons who wait until
some given time before putting their
good resolutions into effect are gen.
orally not very anxious to try them
at all.
"But my resolution is that | am
going to BE glad all the time, not
only when things go right, but when
things go wrong as well. | know it
sounds sort of foolish to say that, but
after all it comes right back to the
old saying that every cloud has a
silver lining and so you can find
good in anything if you will only
look for it.
'It's easy enough to be glad when
things go right, but ! admit that it
takes little practice to be glad when
things go wrong. However, now, on
Mondays, instead of going around with
that Monday feeling and the Mon
day face l am going to be glad that
it's Monday, because it will be whole
week before Monday can possibly get
around again. And if part OF the
dinner burns while you are putting the
baby to bed, you can console yourself

WOmen'S Fashions We're
Never More Beautiful
Or SerViCeabIe Than Now

The editor of the Woman's Home
Companion, writing in the March issue
of that publication, makes the follow
ing general comment on fashions
apropos of the new spring fashions
which are entertainingly reported and
interpreted in IA pages of the same
"When you see a woman with a
skirt so tight she can hardly walk,
with a hat trimmed with long spike
feather, with heels three inches high,
with a layer of cosmetics on her face,
you do not see a victim of fashion,
but victim of her own poor taste and
ill-considered vanity. The fashions
were never more beautiful-nor more
sensible. The narrow skirt-but not
too narrow-that clears the floor is
infinitely more sensible than the long,
full skirt of the past; the high, tight
collar with it's attendant headaches
has gone; the small hat, set we'll down
on the head, is a real blessing; the
very high heel is very bad style; cos
metics are not worn by women of good
taste; fashion even frowns on false
hair-a restful change after the heavy
be-ratted pompadour; and, best of all,
woman's figure is no longer compress
ed into a series of ugly bulges, and
the steel stiffened corset of days past
has become flexible piece of webbing

that supports but does not bin,
When these sensible present-day fash
ions are exaggerated and distorted
they become ugly and ridiculous, it is
true. But no woman is forced to wear
them in an exaggerated and distorted
form save by her own lack of judg-
ment and her own indifference to COM
fort and good taste.
GAS for the fabrics-they were
never so wonderful. The supple, light
woolens, and the splendid glowing
silks of winter have given way to the
most alluring of cotton and linen
stuffs, promise of the summer. The
lighter silks, too, have come in a
thousand new designs, each one SEEM
ingly more lovely than the last. What
excuse, therefore, for a woman not
to be tastefully dressed-not neces-
sarily extensively, but with due re-
gard to color, line and individuality
Indeed, there is none. And though
she may not admit it, save laughingly
to herself, there is no woman who
does not realize that to be well dressed
is to give herself delightfully."- pleas
ant feeling of well-being and conf
dence. A becoming costume is a won
derful tonic to the tired spirit, and
the sensation of looking at ones best
is definite help to be at ones best"

Very Small Hats.

The Dry Goods Economist says that
extreme features are especially en-
phasized in millinery shapes.
Thus we have very small shapes
with extremely high sides, sometimes
spreading out in fan effect and again
terminating in a tower. Frequently,
the height of the tower is accentuated
by a small ostrich or burnt feather
fancy perched on top.
Again the flare or the lift of the
brim occurs in the back. Thus, there
are shapes strongly suggesting the
fiattopped, high back Fatteau style.
Of even greater Importance in the
showings are the many effective tur-
ban shapes, most of which are oblong.
Ribbon trimmings continue to occu-
by strong position. They are used
in infinitely varied form, ranging from
the very tall strikingly posed bows to
the compact pompons and cockades.
Quilts and donkey ears made of rib
bons, pasted together, appear on some
of the smartest models. Faille and
grosgrain ribbons are popular, espe-
cially in the narrow widths.
Flowers are slowly, but surely, max
ing Roadway. Very small varieties are
preferred. These are most prominent
ly featured in novel compact wreaths,
smart aigrette effects and fiat clus-
tiers.

The Unpopular Sparrow

rows-if not more now than before
such bounty laws were passed.
1t is very possible that if we were
to study the habits of these little
house birds and understand more fully
the necessity of protecting a specie
who are regarded as the enemy of in
sect life, we should hesitate to de
stroy them.
The sparrow may not be a very
attractive bird so far as plumage is
concerned, exhibiting almost no va
riety of color, although in summer you
are able to distinguish a somewhat
brighter hue. | know we would rather
see old Robin redbreast hopping about
on the lawn in the early springtime.
The sparrows, however, have shown
themselves to be good house builders.
Some years ago in making some re-
pairs about the porch the carpenter
discovered the most coy little house
and which, according to modern house
building, might be termed of the
bungalow type. 1t was equipped with
double storm houses. That is to say
that the passage way was closed over
by their fastening long feathers in
such a manner that they all met in the
center entirely closing the opening so
when the sparrow pushed his way
through, the feathers would spring
back into position. Immediately in
side, the opening was again closed up
in a similar manner. And just for
ward of the second entrance was the
cosiest little nest and house imagin-
able. Lined on all sides with feathers
and at the bottom of which was four
or five eggs. This was right in mid
winter and / suppose that the price
of eggs, in cities like Chicago and
New York, must have been at least
forty-nine cents ($.49) a dozen.
So you see that the sparrows, too,
have learned something in cold stor-
age economics.

| suppose that there is no specie of
birds in America that are'looked upon
with real or imaginary objection or
more contempt as that of the English
House Sparrow.
1t is commonly supposed that an
Englishman after coming to America,
away back in pioneer days. became
lonesome in his little log cabin, and
being loyal to everything that was
strictly English, he requested a rela-
tive to bring over few of these
SparrowS.
The Sparrow is looked upon as be-
ing of strong domestic tastes and is
constantly in and about dwellings or
buildings as we'll as making itself
thoroughly at home in large cities.
The English look upon the Sparrow
as being one of the most energetic,
useful and industrious birds and
worthy Of their protection and attach
ment. From morning until night they
are constantly at work devouring in
sects, grubs, caterpillars and etc. Of
course they no doubt consume a great
deal of grain and it has been noticed
in the barely and wheat fields in Eng
land, that they eat the standing grain
out for distance of about six feet
from the fences around the entire
length of the field. And when sur
prised rise up in great flocks and light
upon the fences and then as quickly
fly back again.
So numerous have these little birds
become in America that in a great
many of our states, laws have been
passed in which bounties are paid for
the killing of these birds. Even the
people of France are helping in the
war of determination by eating them.
And although large sums of money
have been paid out and vast numbers
of these birds have been slaughtered,
there seems to be just as many spar

THE BUTTERFLY SLEEVE.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist, the butterfly sleeve introduced
early in the season is now being taken
up in waists for medium-priced retail
ing. While it is a trying style for
the average figure, it represents
novelty idea which appeals to many
buyers. The sleeve is cut in one with
the waist and has a seam running
down the top, some of the models hav-
ing slight fullness, gathered along
this line.
The sleeve form begins at the waist
line, this cut giving a very loose
blouse under the arm. When the arms
are slightly raised the effect of butter
fly wings is suggested; hence, no
doubt, the name. These waists are
made in lawn, in cotton crepe and in
crepe de chine, as these materials are
particularly soft, for this design re-
quires a material of sufficiently pill
able texture to allow the waist to
blouse gracefully.

A neat and simple top garment.
Girls coat with or without cuffs and
belt is 1866. Brown velvet was used
for this design, with trimmings of
fancy silk. The design is suitable for
linen, linene, corduroy, broadcloth,
cheviot and other cloakings. The
fronts are crossed at the closing. The
collar forms a neat neck finish. The
sleeve is two piece model. The deep
patch pockets and low belt are attrac-
tive style features. The pattern is
cut in four sizes: a, 6, 8 and 10 years.
1t requires 3b yards of 44-inch ma
terial for a 6-year size.

FRICASSEED RABBITS.

After cleaning cut into joints. Fry
these in fresh beef drippings, turning
constantly, so that they do not brown.
Take out each joint as soon as it is
cooked on the outside and keep hot.
Pour pint Of milk into the stewpan,
thicken it with flour, season with a
blade of mace, pepper and salt and let
it boil. Replace the rabbit in the pan
and, if you have it, add little lean
ham and simmer slowly for about two
hours.
To serve, set the meat on a hot
entree dish and strain the sauce over
it. Garnish with curls of fried bacon
and croutons Of bread.

PICTURESQUE Vatican Shapes.

The Dry Goods Economist says that
the fap-top high-back Vatican shape
is perhaps the latest of many types.
This style is especially favored for
hats of dressy character suitable for
wear with nettoyable and other sum-
mer gowns. 1t is especially pictures
que with the gowns on the shepherdess
order featuring bouffant draperies.
Frequently the new Watteaus arc
worn with the turned up portion Of the
brim at the side instead of at the
back, to accord with the new high
sided iJca. u

shown carries this desirable feature,
and has many other good points. The
deep cut fronts outline a chemisette

contrasting material. The neck edge
is finished with a pretty collar. The
sleeve may be long with band cuff,
or finished in elbow length. The skirt
is gored. The pattern, suitable for
galatea, gingham chambrey, percale,
cordeline, linen and other seasonable
fabrics, is cut in four sizes: 8, 10, IL

This stylish model 1868 was prettily
combined in checked brown crepe for
the waist. A soft and pretty girdle
of red messaline forms an attractive
finish. If made of one material, serge,
corduroy, velvet, linen, silk or satin
could be used. The model is also good
for other wash fabrics. The skirt lines
are simple and pleasing. The waist
is a pretty but plain blouse, with SIM
pie coat closing, neat cuff, and roll
collar. The Pattern is cut in four
sizes: ID, 16, II and Is years. 1t re-
quires Az yards of 40-inch material

MARZIPAN.

Take pound of sweet almonds and
blanch these, adding two or three
bitter almonds if liked. Pound them
in a mortar till smooth, adding drop
by drop a little rose or orange flower
water. Then stir this mixture over a
slow fire with one pound of sugar till
it forms a smooth paste which will
not stick to the fingers when touched.
Dust board with powdered sugar,
spread the paste thinly on this and cut
into any shape or size desired.

COCOANUT BALLS.

Take a pound of loaf sugar and
boil it in gill of water until it hard
ems when tested in cold water, then
flavor with rose or orange flower
water and stir into it sufficient grated
cocoanut to make it quite thick. Shape
it into balls, place these on an oiled
dish AID leave them till hard, when
they should be quite firm outside, but
soft and semifluid inside.

MAPLE CARAMELS.

Here is a simple recipe for cara

cold water. Pour into buttered pans
and mark into squares.

COATS WILL BE SHORT.

AS the season advances the coats
are getting shorter and shorter in
length, says the Dry Goods Economist.
Many new models, in fact, are made
to come just below the waistline, and
these are selling unusually we'll, con-
sidering the season of the year. The
majority of the merchants are of the
opinion that the short, fancy coats will
be particularly good right through the
entire summer.
The handsomest of these are made
Of MORE, silk poplin and taffeta. A
number are finished off at the bottom
edge with one or more fiounces, CIV
ing the flare effect; others are tied
in with a sash forming a bow in the
back, and still others are made very
full starting from the shoulders and
growing wider as they reach the hem.
