Children His vital Interest.

Young people, and especially young
girls and children. are Of vital interest
to NJ. Brieux. Like Ellen Key, he be-
lieves that adult society exists for the
child. Only out Of its strength and
happiness can grow the strength and
happiness of the future NJ. BrieuX is
not one who sits behind closed doors
listening in dread to the knocking Of
the younger generation. He stands on
their side Of the door and is all for
helping them knock. Arrayed against
the outworn traditions, the mean COM
promises and acquiescences, the insin-
cerities and evasions Of the past, he
sees a host of vital young creatures
with truth shining in their eyes eager
to deal bravely with the real stuff Of
life.
VI. Brieux recognizes the tragedy Of
the woman with too many children,
and he understands as perfectly that
Of the woman whose maternal longings
are unsatisfed. In "The Three Daugh-
ters of NJ. Dupont" he gives US a re-
markable study of unhappy women, un-
happy all in different ways from lack
Of love or Of children. Damaged
Goods" is too we'll known to American
audiences to need any description. In
it also the author shows his intense
preoccupation with questions affecting
the welfare Of the woman and the
child.
NJ. Brieux's solicitude for the child
has led him to take on certain ques-
tions an attitude that hardly seems
compatible with his frequently reiter-
ated assertion that the mother must
have economic freedom in order to

MATERIALS SUITABLE
FOR DRAPERIES

nearly as beautiful, are other fabrics
which are to be had in plain colors,
such as the heavier grades of linen,
certain weaves of canvas and mer-
cerized cotton fabric which is abso-
lutely fadeless or sun-fast, is mex
pensive and distinguished looking, and
which, in addition, may be had in al
most any color.
Some Suitable Materials Also.
Among the vast array Of figured ma
tcrials much used for overdraperies
are chintz, cretonne and linen taffeta,
which, with English cotton velvets, are
printed in beautiful patterns and col
orings, the patterns in many instances
being revivals of those used a century
or more ago and printed often from
the same blocks.
For living room, with the walls
covered perhaps with a plain surfaced
golden brown ingram paper, one might
use for overhangings a very sump-
tuous printed linen taffeta or cretonne.
showing branches Of green trees with
birds of brilliant plumage against a
deep tan ground.
Overhangings of almost every kind
should be lined TO give them the weight
and thickness which they require, and
the thinner fabrics should be inter
lined to prevent their hanging in thin
folds, or even perhaps being so thin
that the light showing through de-
stroys the effect. ---

into boiling water, and let boil at least
two hours. Place on serving dish, a
spray of holly on top, and turn a wine
glassful of brandy over it, lighting 1t
just as it is carried to table.
A simpler Christmas pudding is
made after the following recipe:
One and a half pounds of raisins, a
half pound Of well washed currants,
three-quarters of a pound of bread
crumbs, three-quarters of pound Of
chopped suet, quarter pound chopped
citron. eight eggs and one wineglassful
of brandy. When the ingredients are
all mixed, adding the beaten eggs last,
put in a buttered mould, then tie down
tightly and boil for five hours. Serve
with wine sauce.

The baked plum pudding is quite
often substituted for the boiled dainty
and is very good, if not quite as rich.
Following is a good recipe:
Chop fine one pound of suet, mix
with it two pounds Of -four. one pound
of stoned raisins, one pound washed
currants, a little chopped candied peel
and preserved citron, two well beaten
eggs and a pint Of milk. Mix ingredi-
ents thoroughly. put into we'll but
tered baking dish and bake in a me-
dium oven from two and a quarter to
two and half hours. Turn out on
pudding dish, cover with sifted sugar
and serve with hard sauce favored with
brandy.
The moulds shown are quart size.
In using the porcelain pudding cooker.
place a piece of paper over the top
preferably wax paper. so that no water
gets in-then tie the cover down tight
ly and set il into the kettle of boiling
water. See that the water covers the
cooker. The tin moulds should be we'll
creased before filling them three-quar-
ters full of the pudding mixture.
Some cooks think they avoid all pos
sibilty of heavy or soggy centre in
the pudding by using the chimney
mould. while others get the best re-
suits from the plain ones. When pud.
dings begin 70 boil they should be kept
boiling evenly and steadily during the
entire period the recipe calls for, not

start again, as that ruins them. Pud-
dings, like fruit cake, may be Kept

that he owes not only TO the BOY Du'

II matters not so much what the cur

that If boy is taught 20 dress in good
style as a boy the chances are that he

Ostrich Feather Banding.

Bands of ostrich feathers trim some
Of the simpler frocks in satin and
tule. For the girl who is just be-
ginning to 90 to dances after a period
of mourning there is charming model
whose tulle overdress, banded about
the hem with ostrich feathers, stands
well away from a satin round skirt.
Ostrich bands defining the lower front
and back lines of the square decollet-
age are crossed by shoulder drapings
Of tulle, while the waist is defined by
the narrowest of satin girdles.

back, the longer falls fatty over the
hips, while the shorter is carried part
way up one side OF the bodice, which is
straight cut and rather high across the
shoulders. The fronts of the lace
veiled satin bodice, running to sharp
points on the shoulders, form waist
deep "V" dccollotage partly filled in
with folds of white tulle
A white lace-veiled flesh tulle under

certain clothes experts in the audience

applause which welcomed her. The

Collar Bones Covered by Scallops.
A new expression of the decolletage
which will strongly appeal 70 the
woman who is reluctant about expos
ing a pair Of sparsely covered collar
bones is a feature of an all-black lace
and tulle dinner gown.
Adorably simple Is the lace bodice.
Blou5ing rather generously in the re-
sion of the waist, its top is shaped
into a pair Of wide scallops. which
above the collar bones come against
pleated strips Of tulle, forming sleeve
caps as well as shoulder drapngs
These drapincs show very distinctly
at the back, where they form a pointed
decolletage, because there the lace
makes a straight line from armpit to
armpit.
A black satin sash wound once and
half about the waist defines its line

tween the two sections Of the gown.
Knotted low on the hips at front-cen-

upon a tulle overskirt, which wells all

also said that mediocre marriage is
better than a good divorce. A father
he believes, cannot be replaced, and in
marriage one must forgive as often as
one can.
In Maternity" he has pleaded the
cause of the subject woman, but in
"The Cradle" he demands that woman

to say that he would never ask this
sacrifice of woman in a lesser cause.
lie does so only because he believes
that the family exists for the child
and that the parents should subordi-
nate their happiness to its good When
there are no children divorce is per-
missibe. II can harm no one but the
two people involved. "But even then,
he added cautiously, the tendency
should always be against it,"
NJ Brieux expressed himself as
favoring woman suffrage. but at the
mention of militancy he looked grave.

Little Things Need Woman's Attention.
"The vital affairs Of every day life
in small communities need woman's at
tenton. Alcoholism, for instance, we
shall never be able TO conquer without
the assistance of women. After they
have had some practice in expressing
themselves politically they should be

On the subject OF the woman move

week Who knows what it may have

1t is difficult to classify the femi-
rism of Brieux. There are two main
currents Of feminism to-day, one that
glorifies woman's maternal function
almost to the exclusion of her every
other need, the other emphasizing her
right to an independent human exist
ence, regardless of her sex Brieux
has taken something from both these
attitudes.
