IS THE STAGE ovERDREssED.
Mrs. Whinen Talks on the Dress
ing of Modern Actresses.

Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, who played the
part of the grandmother in THE Beauti-
full Adventure in Washington last week,
Is one of those who think that the stage is
overdressed nowadays. Thoroughly up to
date and abreast of the art of the theater
in its progress, Mrs. Whiffen said a few
days ago to a representative of ''WOmen's
Wear" Il think people paid more at
tention to fhe acting and less to the
clothes in the old days.

Now for Nuts.

Now is the season of nuts. They will
soon be cheap and plentiful in the city,
and are to be gathered in the country
for the cost of a little time.
The common hickory nut is especially
plentiful, and while they are small, they
have a great deal of flavor and are
well worth gathering to use in cooking
and also for sailing, says an exchange.
Here is a good recipe for sailing nuts:
Pour a tablespoonful Of oil over every
cupful of nuts. Let them stand in the
oil for an hour, and then add a
tablespoonful of fine salt to each CUP
full Stir them well, place them in a
shallow pan and set in the oven until
they are colored a light brown. Stir
them occasionally while they are in the
oven, so that they will be evenly colored.
Turn them into a paper to dry and shake
of the loose salt before serving. 1t is
not necessary to use oil, small piece of
butter put into the pan is the most usual
way. II desired, the walnuts may be
blanched before salting by immersing
them in boiling water for a few minutes
and then rubbing or the skins.

HaIlock Foote, who was born in Milton.
n. Y, in 1919. AS a young girl her life
was quiet and uneventful, broken only
by a few seasons study at an art school
and occasional writing. At twenty-nine
she married a civil 3 engineer, Arthur
Foote, whose business called them into
the far West. Here Mrs. Foote made a
sympathetic study OF Western characters,
and has written stories OF mining camps
and ranches exce!led only by those of
Bret Harte.
There are many veEy pretty princesses
in Europe, but of them all the daughters
Of the King and Queen OF Italy are said

From Japan comes a supply of carriage
and crib covers for babies. They are
made Of quilted lambs wool. covered with
crepe de chine on one side and China silk
on the other. all handstitched and dec
GRATED with sprays of hand embroidery.
They are in pink silk embroidered with
green and pink sprays Of flowers, blue silk

cred in pink. The best thing about them
is that they will stand any number of
washings. In price they vary from Sl-95
for the carriage cover size to S for the
crib Size. They may be bought at
.ERfka's, at Tenth and F streets.
There is a new kind Of clothes hamper
o hamper that has all the advantages
and none of the disadvantages of the old
fashioned basket hamper. 1t is light and
easily moved about, like the old-fashioned
hamper, and besides that It is sanitary.
indestructible, and can be easily cleaned,
which the old-fashioned hamper certainly
never was. These new hampers are made
of a sort of light pressed gum, white
cover. Especially desirable are the trian-
gular hampers of this make because they
can be placed in a corner of the bathroom
or nursery most conveniently. They may
be had at the house of W. B. Moses &
Sons.
For little girls a delightful gift is the
wonder ball. The center of the wonder
ball is a little doll, and round and round
the doll is wound pretty variegated yarn.
At the end Of the yarn is attached one
Of the spools and a wire needle. with
which children knit horse reins The in

head and toes appear temptingly from out
the ball of wool keeps the little knitter

s. cents.
For the woman who spends much time
at q desk one Of the new Office aprons is
almost a necessity. This apron is made
of black sateen, and it can best be de-
scribed by calling it a double apron.
There is one section for the back and one
for the front, both attached to the same
belt which fastens at the side. The front
section protects the skirt from dust and
wear, and the back section protects the
fabric Of the skirt from the incessant
rubbing against the hard surface Of the
chair, which brings an undesirable gloss
to even the best of wooden material.
These aprons may be bought at Wood
ward & Lothrop's for 50 cents.
