The SecOurs National.

Although Americans have shown q
ready generosity toward the stricken
and needy people of Europe since thd
beginning of the present great warl
a relief plan just organized in New
York City, is believed to hold a
stronger and straighter appeal to the
nation than any previous one of
kindred nature. This plan was in
augurated by Mrs. Whitney Warren,
treasurer of the Secours National
which has been sending food and
clothing to the destitute aged people,
women and children in France. The
object of this new work is to send /
kits containing necessary articles of
wear to the babies and little children
of the destitute and devasted sec-|
lions of France.
work. First, it does not seek in any
way to. furnish aid to the belligerent
or fighting branch of the French ma
ton. Second, it does aim to give
greatly needed aid to children-to
little children who are in need and
helpless. There are thousands of
these little ones in France today,
homeless orphans who are in rags or
completely destitute of clothing.
These are the children the Secours
National proposes to help.
1t is no reflection upon the French
government that this distressing con-
dition exists today. That peaceful
cultured nation was precipitated into
war of defense and, against terrible
odds, has worked wonders in susta}f
ing it's army and caring for the ~ Z
combatants.
But France cannot acco1
miracles and it is from AEericSs-,s-. ae
help for these children must comey
children whose great grandfathers
hundred years ago fought to make
America free
1t is now the time of year when
Americans blessed with the liberty
France helped to win for her-are
enjoying the benefits and pleasures
of vacation. These little children of
France are suffering for the neces-
stiles of life. Would it not be beau
rtifully appropriate for Americans to
give a part-only small part-of
their vacation funds for this worthy
cause?
Will you help these children?
Arrangements have been made
whereby the cost of each kit Is held
to the small amount of two dollars.
Free transportation is furnished by
the French government while safe
and advantageous distribution of the
kits is guaranteed by the American
War Relief Clearing House in Paris
All subscriptions should be sent to

ELDERBERRY COOKERY.

Elderberries are not eaten very wide
ly, but they possess a delightful favor,'
and the housekeeper with time-and
elderberries-on her hands will do we'll
to preserve them in several different
ways, for they will furnish an unusual
flavor to her winter menus.
GRAPE AND ELDERBERRY PRE-
SERVElThis is delicious To make it
allow equal quantities of elderberries
and grapes and use a grape with de-
cided, even tart. flavor, for the sweet
ness of the elderberry makes up for
much tartness of grape. The grapes
must be opened with very sharp knife
and the seeds must be removed. Allow
as much sugar as the elderberries and
grapes together weigh. Put the fruit
in a preserving kettle and barely cover
with cold water. Bring to the boiling
point, skim and add a fourth of the
sugar. Bring to the boiling point
again, add another quarter of the sugar
and boil for twenty minutes. Repeat
until the sugar is all used and then
boil until little of the strip jellies on
a plate on the ice.
Pack into jars. Be careful not to
break the grapes more than is abso-
lutely necessary in the cooking.
1-f Ut tnlS use
half as much wild green grape juice
as elderberry juice. Use a pound of
sugar to each pint of juice and cook.
Swimming as the strip SINNERS, until
1t jellies when tested on ice.
ELDER BLOSSOM WINE-Pick from
the stems enough blossoms to fill a
quart measure when pressed down; add
one gallon of cold water and steep
twenty-four hours. Strain and add four
pounds of sugar, three sliced lemons
and one cup of yeast. Set away for
two weeks, then strain carefully, pour
into a jug and, after several months,
bottle.
CANNED ELDERBERRIES-On peck
OF firm. ripe elderberries and one pint
OF strong vinegar, three pounds of
brown sugar and one quart of mo-
lasses. Boil all together for five or
ten minutes and bottle. The elder
berries should be measured after pick
ing from the stems.

NOVEL CAKE IDEAS.

A most elaborate cake can be easily
made in this way: Bake an ordinary
cake in layers or in loaf and ice il
with a thick white icing. Then make
of candied rose leaves roses on the top
of the cake. After making the first
rose over two or three times, and per-
haps brea king a couple of rose petals,
you will find the work quite easy.
Form either single or double roses of
the candied petals, and use a little
green for centers and stems-anGelica
or citron can be used. Let the icing
harden and the roses will be firmly in
place.
Violet leaves. candied, can be used
in the same way to decorate a big
cake.
A pretty idea for a children's party
is big cake in the center of the tai lie
as a centerpiece and a little matching
cake at each place. For instance, a
patty cake a each place showing one
rose in the frosting. and in the center
a big cake with d wreath of roses. Or,
a big cake in the center surrounded by
candles, and a each place a little cake
containing single candle.
surprise cakes OF various SOrlS ma ke
delicious desserts. For instance, big
sponge loaf can be made. and then the
top can be cut off and the center re-
moved. The cavity can be filled with
sweetened sliced peaches and whipped
cream, and then the top can be re-
placed Or the inside of a sponge cake
can be filled, just before serving time.
with ice cream or whipped cream fla
vored with chocolate. or a fruit char
lotte mixture can be put in long enough
ahead of serving time to stiffen to the
right consistency.
Instead of a frosting or icing a hot
sirup is sometimes served with fresh
cake-a hot chocolate sauce, or hot
maple sirup which contains chopped
nuts, or some other sweet concoction
This change makes of a simple cake an
unusual dessert.
Stale cake can be used in several
desserts-ca binet pudding is one, and
"tipsy cake" is another, and charlotte
russo made with custard and whipped
cream is a third. Moreover, it can be
crumbled and used instead of bread in
a recipe for bread puddings-but, OF
course, most of the sugar must be omit
ted. as the cake provides the sweetness
desirable.

Combination Cap and Bag.

A combination bathing cap and bag
Is made either in rubberized cotton or
silk fabric, in black and white stripes,
in colored stripes and in Scotch plaids.
The bag is made in double-tier effect,
the upper portions being attached to
the lower by means of a heading on an
elastic band The top of the bag. which
has a deep heading, is fitted with rib
bon drawstrings. and while measuring
only fifteen inches in depth the bag is
designed to successfully accommodate
bathing suit, shoes. comb. brush. etc.
Upon arrival at the shore the contents
of the bag are removed, the base por-
ton inverted. the ribbon drawstrings
frightened at the top and the bag IS
transformed into bathing cap, the
elastic heading serving as a brim.

When Color Is Added.

This unrelieved tone of smoke gray

some women. SO the dressmakers have
copied it with sashes of blue or flame

pale blue in a certain shade with the
gray frock is a touch to be commended.

lowered silk is we'll liked by some
dressmakers, but it takes away from

Those who do it, take weeks to ac

All of which is to say that finely

charm to such work were abandoned
in the beginning of their career over
here by the difficulties attending their
production.
The Call for Chiffon Cloth.
The summer. however. quickened the
fashion into life again. Silk became
too hot and linen remained problem
as it does throughout all the seasons,
that we have insisted upon it the
hot-weather uniform. We have found
that variety of chiffon, called chiffon
cloth, which is transparent, delciously
cool and weara BILE, was an ideal fabric
for formal summer wear. 1t could not
stand trimming in the ordinary sense.
and was at it's best when made up of
itself
therefore. with the real summer OH
US, the fashion builders have brought
out some alluring frocks of it in dull
colors. untouched by other fabric or
color. The fastidious women have
taken to them with enthusiasm. They
have comfortable Innings of china silk
without boning. Their economy lies in
the fact that they will serve through
out the autumn and winter for house
usage.
The sketch shows a gray frock of
that material which was sent over
from Paris and is being copied in
various colors, especially in black. in
white and in that gray-blue tone that
the French army brought into fashion.
The original model is in smoke gray.

favoritism. The skirt has a hip yoke
that is not fitted to the figure. but is
sufficiently slender in its cut to give
grace and not add dimension. The
lower skirt Is in the form of what we
once called a Spanish f1ounce trimmed
with two wide tucks above the hem.
The bodice has tucked front and is
fastened as high as the chin with gray
satin buttons. The sash is of the

There are lots of days in summer
when it's too hot to play rough, noisy
games, and yet blocks and familiar
toys have no attraction.
Some children have found that mod
cling in n special dough is packs of
fun and cool as we'll.
The dough is made by taking a cup
full of cornstarch, half a cupful Of salt
and Il t%easpoonful Of gum arabic, mix
ing them together thoroughly, and then
pouring enough boiling water over
them to make Il stiff dough.
Turn this out on Il board, over which
a little starch and salt have been sprin-
killed., and you will be able to fashion
it into whatever objects you desire.
The more it is worked the better
dough it becomes.
