The silly twaddle by the organ of
the interests that the series of ad-
dresses made by Congressman Clyde
H. Tavenner as taken from the Con-
gressional Record, are simply pub
lished in the Record with leave and
are not really delivered, is upset by
the fact that for the most part the
republication from the Congressional
Record is mainly in the line of debate
in which Tavenner has participated,
and the Congressional Record does not
print debates that do not take place.
Furthermore, Tavenner is not the kind
of a man who puts before the people
things he does not do. The organ of
the interests is Judging Tavenner by
the past practices of the representa-
tives of the interests.

FEBRUARY FESTIVITIES

tie each bundle with ribbon. and draw
through the openings in the log fort,
which should extend to each cover.
Valentine cakes-Bake any cake mix
ture in thin sheet. When cold stamp
out into hearts with tin cutter designed
| for the purpose. Cover one side with con-
fectioner's frosting and ornament with
hearts cut from candied or maraschino
cherries. A pointed bit of cherry may be
set in place for the lower part of the
heart and the shape filled in with bits of
cherry. The edge of the cakes may be
decorated with chopped cherries or with
tiny red candies to bring out more fully
the shape of the cakes.
, Valentine nectar-l1elt six rounding
teaspoonfuls of grated chocolate and then
add quickly six cups of boiling milk
When chocolate is dissolved. add two
tablespoonfuls of very strong. clear cof-
fee, one tablespoonful of sherry and one
teaspoonful of vanilla. Serve hot with
whipped cream and sugar.
Squashed heart-Cook, drain and mash
some squash. Add two eggs. little but
ter. salt. pepper and two tablespoonful
of very thick cream. Whip all together

Clothes for Small Boys.

HE right clothes for a boy are simple
and plain. The material must be
GOOD. without frills or loud coIors; COM
Portable. Exchanging and not too good
Tor hard use. A blouse for boy of sew
en- is modelled after a neglige shirt For
ordinary use madras or percale in white
with fancy colored stripe is good, with
pure white madras or pique for dress
up. To wear with such a blouse are short
plain trousers made like his fathers, in
a mixed worsted in brown or gray For
school wear khaki cloth, natural-color
linens or crash may be substituted for
the trousers in warm weather and for
the long vacation.
For a boy of from four to six nothing
is better than Russian blouse suit In
percaie. linen, madras, pique or cotton
poplin. knickerbockers of the same ma
terlai are worn. If you use a plain solid
color. long rever at one SIDE cuffs
and low belt may be made of striped
percaie. relieving the severity without in
the least taking from its boyishness
These simple suits of wash material may
be made up very cheapy. black or red
patent leather belt adds a smart touch.
although one of self material is little
more practical. The knickerbockers are
Oh the same material as the dress
A hat for cold or rainy weather may
be easily made from dark blue fricze or
craVenette trimmed with band of rib
bon Made up in white pque or natural
colored linen. it is fine hat for summer
wear, since it can be laundered easily and
will not fade -

gowns shown then, by the way, were for
the spring wholesale trade. Think of
the forehandedness of that performance.
In many of the gowns that We see
packed for the American Riviera there
is evidenced a return of the pannier
drawn in at knees which is usually be-
coming to the average figure. 1t is made
of taffeta as well as chiffon cloth, also of
those embroidered scrims that the lead
ing dressmakers are using for morning
frocks
Such painters are draped with consid-
cradle fulness at the waist line in order
that the puffed effect may be obtained
below the hips The hem is sharply
drawn into the figure and the waist line
Is accumulated by wide girdle of velvet
ribbon into which is tucked d careless
| bunch of roses.
There is a good deal of grace in this
kind of pannier and it goes we'll with
the silhouette which affect. which
shows no signs of changing 1t would
seem to the onlooker that the various
pastures demanded Of women by fash
ion would break their 1odies. 1t would
sound untenable as a doctrine if any one
would advocate the practice by women
of changing the line of their bodies
they do, and yet the performance does
not seem to have an i'll effect on them.
Never were women so healthy. One
does not hear of nervous prostration. of
breakdowns that send women to the hos
pitfalls. of Mysteries. They seem sane.
sound and sensible. these modern uom-
life, and add by their radiating good
spirits and buoyant health to the gayety
of living
Fashionable women are especially
healthy. They ride, they run their mo-
tors. they drop in and out of a half hun
dred amusements month, and with all
the pleaSurng. they manage to be re-
markedly intelligent.
