FATHER STILL KNOWS
MORE THAN THE BOY
Youngsters Are Told That Dad
Must Always Be the Author
ity BY Speaker at Father
and Son Banquet.

Father and son met on equal foot
ing last night at the Y. VI. c. A. at the
annual Father and Son banquet
and incidentally told each other how
they could best get along together.
Four boys from the Y. NJ. c. A. took
up the boys side OF the question
while Charles Mayne. general secre-
tary of the Gary Y. VI. G. A. defended
the father. Mayor Fred Keller acted
as toastnaster. over three hundred
men and boys were present.
Father still knows a little more
than the boys" said Mr.. Mayne
when the boy gets to thinking that
he is above the authority of his father,
that is the time when a clash will
come. The father must always be the
one in authority and when that au-
thority is based on love then will the
rather and son friendship be firmly
cemented"
Mr.. Mayne held that to establish the
bond of friendship between father and
son a point of common interest must
first be established. The son must
interest himself to a certain degree in
the business and pleasures of his faith
er, While the father must TeCipTOCate.
Speaking Of the American home Mt.
Mayne held il to be one of the great
est institutions on earth and the near
est approach TO heaven of anything
on this earth" Assertions that the
American home was the dow ngrade
were emphatically denied by Mr..
Mayne.
William Grimm on behalf of the
boys spoke on Why Should Father
Be Interested in My Friends" He
believed that fathers governing eye
over his sons friends tended toward
the moulding of the sons character.
Forest Staples spoke on why a faith
CT should interest himself in his sons
money matters. Mason WalwOrth on
temptations of boys, and Everett
Leisure on the boys religion.
Each Of the boy speakers main
tanned that a display OF interest of
father in the son and the son in the
father in all their activities would
solve the problem of d happy home.

FLOWERS AND BERRIES

| The elderfower and elderberry have
possessed wonderful powers. according
to the myths Of the ages. Even in Greek
mythology the elder was made the hero
Of many legends. And most Of these
cause Of the medicinal qualities of the
elder blossoms and berries.
In the days when each houseneeper
kept on hand as many remedies as she
could lay hands on and mastered as
much of the lore Of the pharmacist and
physician as she could elderberry wine
was q household possession. This is the
way to make it: Stem enough berries
to measure eight quarts and over them
pour four quarts of boiling water. Stand
all day. stirring now and then. At the
end of about twelve hours strain through
two thicknesses of gauZe squeezing all
the juice through. To every four quarts
Of the Juice add three pounds Of sugar.
half an ounce of ground cloves and an
ounce Of ground cinnamon. Boil for five
minutes. pour into bottles and seal boil
ing hot.
Elderfower water may be more to our
modern taste-as a toilet water-than
is elderberry wine. To make the toilet
water strip enough flowers from their
them pour two quarts Of boiling water.
After an hour put the mixture into a
granite pan and boil slowly for fifteen
minutes. Strain through cheesecloth and
bottle.
Elderfiowers are edible. and one OF
the best ways of utilizing them is in
mullins. Pick the flowers in early morn
ing before the dew is off and wash them
| carefully whenever they are to be used
for food. Add half cupful of them to
any good muffin batter. after they have
been stripped from their stems and
leaves.
Elderfower tarts are made in primary
tart shells. The flowers are washed and
cooked with spices Of various sorts and
lemon juice and then the mixture is
poured into little cooked tart shells.
| Elderberry catsup Is good in fish OF
meat sauces and 1t Is made in this way
Put gallon of ripe stemmed berries ir
big crock or jar and pour over them
gallon of boiling vinegar Stand or
the back Of the stove over night. Oi
course. II there is no old-fashioned coal
fire in the stove simmer very slowly on
the smallest burner of the gas stove for
| several hours. Then strain into a pre-
serving kettle and heat. Crush the ber-
ries and rub them through a sieve and
add teaspoonful of salt and ginger
ground cloves and cinnamon, half tea
spoonful Of salt and ginger, two blades
of mace. Boil ten minutes and bottle

weeks. Then strain carefully, reheat

Laundering Daint' aE.ar.

There Is only one valid OBJ o.i TO the
new muslin collars. They are fragile.
Like maline. moisture reduces them to
shapelessness. Wrinkles are as obvious
on them as they are on linen shirt waists.
Fortunately. laundering restores them
to their original state Of dainty loveliness,
II the laundering is of the right sort
These collars depend for their shape on
their stiffness. Sometimes they are stiff
enough if they are ironed wet. But usual
ly they need a little starch
Here is a recipe for the right sort OF
starch to use for these collars of linen
and organdy that are the earmark of the
new fashions.
Add a piece Of parafin the size Of an egg
and a piece of white or CASTLE soap the
size Of a hazelnut to a quart OF boiling
water. Mix the starch with cold water in
bowl. using whatever proportion OF
starch to a quart of water that the par
ticular brand Of starch calls for to make
thin starch. Add the cold mixture to
the boiling mixture and let it boil up two
or three times. Then add a little bluing.

Lawn Trimmings Useful.

The short grass trimmings from the
lawn are very useful for feeding fowls,
especially if the runs are bare during
summer. Feed the chickens a portion Of
the clippings as soon as they are cut,
then spread the balance out to dry where
the air can get at them, stirring them
once a day until well cured. Then store
in dry place. Grass that is damp or
only partly cured will spoil il piled in a
heap in close quarters. 1t should be
thoroughly dry and then it may be placed
in sacks or boxes. to be used as an egg
producer for poultry in winter.
To utilize short grass clippings as a
compost, place them in heap and cover
with an inch or two of soil, adding other
layers Of grass cuttings and Of soil from
time to time as the lawn is moved. This
makes finest kind of soil for house
plants and ferns grown during winter.

VELVET POPULAR IN PARIS

in 1t. And she does On the Anglo
saxon woman peltry is not always good.
Last season at the Deauville races, in
August. the women wore huge fur collars
attached to their loose Royant coats,
and beneath these were white chiffon
gowns. In the evening they came into
the Casino with fur scarfs thrown over
the shoulders, when the weather gave
only the merest CLINT of chiHiness.
So one. would not usually pay serious
attention to the continuance of peltry
during the summer season in Paris If the
designers were not calling attention to
it. and the shapes of the hats and wraps
were not decidedly new. These are not
old. garments made to serve a chilly
month. They are very new and repre-
sent the dressmakers' best talent. All
bear the impress Of. the summer season
OF, 1914. and, the ,astute ones say they
bear the shadow of coming events.
In other words, 1t is to be a velvet
autumn and winter. The French manu-
factufers are weaving great quantities Of
1t, in order to be prepared for a rush of
orders, and smart women who are lazily
forecasting their wardrobes talk velvet
all the time. OF course, every one will
not buy the best quality. and there is
where the trouble will come in.
Another trouble is that cotton velvet
is to be in the ascendancy. You know
well what that means. Once before we
had season of madness for velvet,
| when women who could only buy one
street suit for. the winter bought it of
velvet, wore it every day, and carried
with them the marks Of every chair they
had sat on. 1t was said.
Velvet has never yet been made In
such a way that its pile could stand
common usage. If woman can afford
many frocks, then let her have velvet
in black or any color she likes, but If her
dress allowance is limited, and she has
to buy wisely and we'll. then velvet is
not for her.
She may indulge in a short dance
frock of it, but she will find satin or
chiffon or silk net more economical for
a dinner gown. A wrap of it serves a
considerable time, and probably gives
one the value of the money put in 1t,
| but it should be one wrap Of many, and
! not the sole one.
The new idea which has been tenta-
lively exploited but not taken hold of In
! firm way. that of lining a satin or
chiffon or jet cape with velvet for after
| noon or evening wear, is not extrava-
! CANT II one does not sit down too often

The velvet hat is most attractive with
linen suits or frocks. and Paris has tax

TEMPTING TOAST.

SARD1NE TOAST.-Remove the skins
and bones from seven or eight good sar-
dimes and mash the fish to a pulp. Wash
couple of handfuls of fresh parsley
thoroughly and then boil it tender. Drain
it and chop it fine and mix it thoroughly
with the sardine paste. Then mix in a
quarter of a pound Of butter. Mix all
thoroughly and mold into little pats and
keep on the ice until needed. This but
ter may be used on thin slices of bread
for sandwiches to serve with afternoon
tea. but, best of all. it may be spread on
thin slices Of hot toast to be eaten Inn

CHEESE TOAST-Grate Parmesan or
other dry cheese. Butter narrow strips
of thin, crisp. hot toast, sprinkle the
the cheese is melted. but not brown or
crisp. Serve with salad, or else serve
with afternoon tea or with something
cooked in the chafing dish for evening
refreshments.
TOAST AND SWISS CHEESE.-Hot
Swiss cheese sandwiches are delicious.
To make them, cut good Swiss cheese In
wafer-like slices and spread these be-
tween slices of thin. crisp, buttered hot
toast. Serve Immediately. These sandwich
es must be eaten Immediately. while they
are still crisp and hot and fresh. A lit
tie mustard spread over the cheese is

sweet taste of the cheese and gives 1t
just the flavor 1t needs.

A stock of timed goods is useful, and

PARIS, July 5.-One may almost say
that for the moment the details of our
gowns are more interesting than the
gowns themselves. Occupied as we are
at present. with preparations for depar-
ture to seashore and mountains, we feel
a keen interest in collars. sleeves, cein-

that figure so Importantly.
The endlessly varied cersages have one
common characteristic in their sack

which is usually bordered with a tulle
ruche standing up at the back Of the
neck. or else with a turned-down collar
that rolls across the back and is a con-
tinuation Of a small vest in front. The
sleeves are invariably finished off to
match the neck.
One fact may be especially noticed
about every skirt which bears the hall
mark of a great dressmaker. This is
that. except for our underskirts. the
knell of the "jupe fourreau." with its
endless uniformity and banality. has
been sounded. The tunic is now the
theme on which Imagination may be al
lowed fuu play, ana one sees IL very ionS
and full either plain or oddly trimmed,
or caught up zen laveuse,'' or else with
the fullness carried toward the back and
emphasized by sash knotted very low.
A deiiciously warm. clear afternoon
brought forth the pleasing gown of the
illustration in the avenue of the Bois de
Boulogne, and I think it was quite as
dainty as anything to be seen in Paris
The pale lilac taffeta tunic was worn
over a narrow underskirt trimmed with
six-inch ruff1es of shadow lace. each one
trimmed in back with a small turquoise
blue bow knot to show between the part
ing of the tunic slash.
The tunic was really in the shape of a
full-length skirt. gathered all around the
waist and slashed in back, but the pam
nier hustle was effected by pouching the
material across the back for little dis
tance and allowing it to melt off in nat
ural folds below the hips. The edges of
the slashed seam in back were then
turned aside and the lower corner tackled
In position against the skirt.
Instead of a girdle very pretty effect
was given by using large fiat velvet
flowers. matching precisely the shade of
the dress. arranged about the waist.
