GELATINE THE USEFUL.
By FRANCES MARSHALL

Geiatine-whatever did cooks do before
IL was discovered?
And In fits easily managed form Of the
present 1t Is even more useful than II
ever was before.
To begin with, there are the thousand
and one desserts in which II has q part
First Of all. there are the straight jeliies
orange, lemon, wine. grape-Juice and
other havors! These are all delicious.
and they can be greatly varied by the
addition Of different fruits Skinned and
seeded grapes OF all sorts. sliced bananas.
segments of orange and grapefruit, mar
aschino cherries and candied fruit. all
these give interesting variations Of color
and favor.
Then there are other variations made
by the addition Of whipped white Of
egg or whipped cream. Add either Of
these ingredients to haif-hardened jelly.
beat until It is stiff, and put It In the
center of a mould lined with clear jelly.
and the result Is interesting. This char
lotte made Of jelly and whipped cream
or white OF egg can also be put In q
mould lined with lady fingers or sponge
cakes, cut in strips.
Gelatine can be used satisfactorily IN
making a very smooth blanc mango In
stead Of corn starch. Care must be exer-
cised not to get the blanc mango too stin
with gelatine. but It will be far smootter
than one made with corn starch.
A little dissolved gelatine gives
smoothness to ice cream. too. and added
to a water ice gelatine converts 1t into .
sherbet.
Gelatine is also useful In salads, espe-,
cially in the winter when fresh vege-
tables are scarer. Tomato jelly II almost
as good in salads as are fresh tomatoes.
Add dissolved gelatine to strained toma-
to Juice, nicely seasoned, and pour II
into little round moulds. Or else mould
II IN one big mould and cut It into little
blocks. Serve with mayonnaise on let
tuce leaves.
Or mix equal quantities Of strained to-
matp Juice and any kind Of meat stock,
we'll seasoned. then thicken with gela-
tine and mould for salad.
There Is also jellied meat and nsh
loaves that are delicious. One good one
is made from the shank Of beef. boiled
down. cut into little pieces, and thicken-
ed sufficiently with q little dissolved
gelatine so that It forms q firm loaf. And
canned salmon, freed from skin and
bones. packed into a mould, and covered
with a liquid composed Of lemon Juice,
water, the oil from the salmon can and
dissolved gelatine and garnished with
lemon slices, sliced stuffed olives and
sliced hard-boiled eggs. Is another deli
cacy.

Rx GERMAINE GAuTIER.

Capes are featured in many OF the
new coats. According to sartorial in
clination and figure lines one may select
q model with a ripple cape. a coachman's
tive words refer to the shape Of tho
accessory some OF which are cut ex-
tremely full. while others fairly hug the
shoulders and hardly leave room for arm
movements.
1t goes without saying that these capes
are not to be adopted by the short, stout
woman. They tend to decrease the ap-
parent height of the wearer and to give
a greater breadth through the shoulders.
Nevertheless, they are wonderfully chic
when worn by the right person.
Cheruit has sent a distinctive coat of
Garibaldi red IN the new channels cloth.
II Is made in three-Quarter length and
has a swinging cape attached to the
wide turnover collar. In fact, this collar
serves the purpose of q shallow yoke and
adds to the unusual style quality OF the
model
Tho cape. by the way, does not cross
the front of the coat. II starts-just for
ward Of the shoulders and ripples freely
across the back In this way II bears
closer resemblance to the coats Of mill
tary officers.
Sleeves Big and Wide.
The sleeves are cut In comfortable
width and are gathered at the base into
q self-cuff. The buttons are bullet shape
and are covered with the coat fabric.
There Is no fur trimming One puts spe-
cial emphasis on this because II Is so
rare q thing to find fur absent from au-
tunn models that one Is instantly i'm
pressed thereby. There Is no law to
prevent the ultimate possessor from add
ing a fur collar: but Cheruit was too con-
sistent and artistic to mar the simple
lines of the military model by affixing
fur thereto.
Dresses. too. are to exploit little shoul-
der capes. The latter are especially ef-
fective when bound with braid or bor-
dered with fur. and II is likely that they
Will be made separately from the gar
ment, to be worn or not as the dictate Of
the wearer suggests.
Along with capes one finds revers re-
turning to favor. Mostly they are of the
broad ripple sort that may be folded over
and thereby close the coat or dress. OF
course, the use Of revers presupposes q
vestse or foundation effect Sometimes
this is Of brocaded satin or novelty satin

TOO MUCH SUPERVISION.

Some of our mothers seem to think
they have to be "on the job" as the boys
say, every minute of the timeP-day and
night almost, or they will be accused Of
shirking their duty to their children. One
who was puzzled by this idea wrote me
this week from Brooklyn.
Dear Aunt Chatty: Please tell me II
the proper way to rear a boy is to no
tice. correct and punish every little thing
he does. I want to bring my son up
right. In one Of your talks you said

Anrons of Chintz.

The vogue for chintz>in dress has led
a young matron who. does her own house.
work-and likes to look well while doing
it-into making a set of work aprons and
caps out OF this decorative material.
The firm weave of chintz makes 1t an
admirable dustproof protection for gown
and hair and keeps a fresh look. Chintz
does not wrinkle easily and IL a gay all
over design be chosen Il will not look
spotted for a long while.
Dressed in her chintz apron and cap to
match the young matron looks pretty to
a degree-more as though arrayed for
some fancy dress AFFAIR than for mere
work: fact that makes work go gayly.
Her aprons cover her gowns entirely.
They are tightly belted in the waist and
furnished with a commodious pocket.

IT'S A DAY OF CLUBS.

When in doubt, start an organiza
ton.
Such seems to be the watchwort
Of the women of the present time.
Just the other day the Appropriate
Dress Club was started, as "pro-
test against the ultra fashions in
women's apparel"
Branches of the club are to be
founded zii over the country, but II
began in Goshen, N. Y, where num-
Der of leading women were shocked
at the freak fashions they saw al
the race track. They were so shock
ed, in fact, that they just had to do
something about it. In the days OF
our grandmothers women would have
expressed their surprise and morti-
fcation at the improper and inappro-
pirate fashions, no doubt by holding
up their dainty mitted hands, and per-
haps shedding a few tears over the
situation.
But not so the women of the pres
ent day. Something had to be done
about it, and that something, quite
naturally, was to form an organiza-
ton. Officers were elected; dues
were demanded and paid, a constitu-
ton was drawn up and. campaign
of work was outlined. If this club
has not already become federated"
it will in the near future. That is all
part of the scheme.
If you become annoyed at the
noisy clatter of the milk wagons
going by your home at three a. m.
you form a neighborhood organiza-
ton to protest against them. If you
think that the butchers and bakers
and candlestick makers are giving
you short weight you grumble lit
tie to the butcher, baker and candle
stick maker, and, if remedy does not
come Immediately, you start an or
ganization. If you read in the daily
paper that the poor soldiers in the
trenches are in need of cigarettes,
your tender heart is moved to SYM
pathy and you at once establish So
ciety for the purpose Of raising
funds to buy smoking materials for
poor Tommy Atkins. War hospitals,
you read, do not supply pillows for
the wounded soldiers-the wounded
soldiers as a matter of fact are just
as well off without them-so you
start another organization with the
object of holding bazaar or ben
eft dance or an afternoon tea in or
der to raise money to buy pillows for
the poor soldiers in the hospitals.
Yes, the organizing habit is strong
with the women nowadays.
AAd the funny thing about it is that
fifty years or SO ago one of the many
arguments presented as reason why
women would never be able to exer-
else the rights of the franchise was
that women were incapable of organ

ization. Well. at least no one can
say that nowadays.
One of the good objects of this
Appropriate Dress Club is to make it
possible for working. girls to buy
their clothes for cash instead of "on
the installment plan" which is fire.
quently the only way that the girl on
low wage can hope to buy the nee
essary clothes. As every one knows
the installment plan is frequently ex-
pensive, and it sometimes leads to ex-
trayagance and no end of worry. The
club plans to advance the necessary
money to working girls at low rate
of interest and to give them. with
the use of the money instructions of
economical and suitable shopping.
The woman who wears the clothes
often is not the only one who has
to worry on account of the habit,
which many women have acquired, of
wearing new clothes in haste and
paying at leisure. Only, more fire.
quently the woman addicted to this
habit is not of the working girl class,
and she does not buy her clothes on
the "installment plan" She is quite
frequently the woman with leisure,
the woman who seems TO think that
with her accounts at the best shops
in town goes the privilege of almost
unlimited credit. OF course she al
ways pays sometime, and usually the
merchant, realizing this, does not
press her. But in the meantime, en-
ployes have to be paid off every
week, rent has to be paid, insurance,
light and telephone bills must be
paid with clock-like punctuality, and
the bills from the wholesale distri-
butors can't be put off as long as the
woman with the account put off her
payments.
1t was an old saying of our grand
mothers when basting thread CHANGED
to show in a woman's gown that they
had not been paid for. If this say
ing always came true how many
women we know would go about we'll
garnished with hastings!

bertson resolution referred to the
bridge between Elwood. Kan, and st.

charge railroad passengers 25 cents
extra for tolls while a pedestrian can
go across for a nickel.
The same practice exists at Atchi-
