ish onions are mild na- yored and most attractive served sliced with French dressing. Chopped Spanish onion and green peppers, served on slices of cucnmbers, laid on a bed of watercress, is another good salad. For creamed onions allow two to each person and cook them in water that is all evaporated by the time they are tender. Add two table spoonfuIs of butter for a dozen onions and half cupful of rich cream. Salt and pepper is added and the vege- tables are heated in the cream until well seasoned through.
 Onions With Rice and Chicken This is combination which is not often found in American homes, but Is especially good. To dozen onions, all small and even sized, add a cupful of rice and eupful of chicken meat. Put the onions into baking dish with the rice. Pour over three cupfuls of chicken stock and a cup of chopped chicken meat. Salt and pepper and dot with butter. Place in moderate oven and cook covered for one hour; then uncover, add cupful of cream and cook l5 minutes longer. Serve Tn the dish in which it is cooked.
 Fried onions are very hearty and are not good for those who have a weak digestion. Combined with ap- ples they make q most delicious vege- table to serve with pork.
 Onions are good in beef stock and covered while cooking. then during the last half hour sprinkle with a stea- spoonful of sugar and brown uncoy' cred
 Onions parboiled and baked with cheese and a white sauce is another most wholesome way of serving them
 Cabbage is another of our flavor vegetables, which is as good as eauli flower when carefully boiled, drained and served in a rich white sauce.
 Garlic is another flavor vegetable that is most delightful if used spsring ly as a seasoning for meat and salads.

The little coat pictured here is suit
able for the small girls school ward
robe. 1t is one of the new models for
spring. The material is self striped
brown silk and wool mixture. The
wide collar and deep cuffs are banded
with dark brown MORE. There is a
very wide belt, with a very decorative
application of buttons.
The new coats for children's spring
wear are made In a great variety of
attractive styles. Covert cloth, serge.
gabardine. poplin and checked fabrics
are modish. They are without much
elaboration, the trimming being con-
fined to the collar and cuffs. Silks and
satins in white or matching colors are
most frequently used on these For
later yea silk and satin coats will
be permissible for dressy occasions,
Taffeta, faille and poplin are consider
ed suitable for these.
Many Of the new coats are cut on
short waisted lines. The belt is a
characteristic feature. The lower part
of the coat is given the popular flare.
The sleeves are set in as a rule, al
though some examples of the modified
kimono sleeve viii be used.
The military influence is seen even
in these juvenile coats. Many of them
are trimmed with gilt. gun metal or
silver braid and buttons. Army and
navy colors are favored. One sees
models of navy blue. army gray, Rus
sian green and Belgian blue.
Wraps which are very fair imita-
lions Of the English topcoat are car
ried out in covert cloth. Decorative
pockets, wide belts and skillfully ap-
piled collars and cuffs are features of
many covert coats.
Lingerie collars and cuffs are to be
very much worn. These will give a
charming finish to the simple coats.
Linen. pique. organdie and lawn sets
are being shown for children's suits
and coats.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

When washing windows add a
small quantity of bluing to the
water. This makes them clearer.
Scatter grated white potato over
the carpets If you wish to fresh
en- their colors.
When packing away rugs or
carpets for any length of time
fold in powdered alum and a
few moth balls when rolling up.
To remove stains from the tops
of zinc kitchen tables use a cloth
dipped in vinegar.
In laundering the sheer white
collars so much worn use borax
instead of starch Ia tablespoon
full to a quart of water. It
leaves them more transparent.
Furniture polish may be made
at home after this recipe: Take
equal portions of linseed oil. tur-
pentine. vinegar and spirits of
wine. Shake well and apply
with a linen cloth for cleansing.
For polishing use a dry flannel
cloth.

! Fashion has lost none of her
, affection for sashes.
, Black silk waists appear with

! Plain clothes are favorite ma
!, terials for street costumes.
! No frock is smart these days
, without a military touch.
| Flowered silks work out well

! The Sleeves of the cloth dress
should be made of chiffon.
! Organdie continues a favorite
material for the new neckwear.

are usually mounted on a yoke.

HOUSE SLIPPERS.

A Great Variety of Comfortable Shoes
Suitable For Hours of Ease.
The kid house slipper is really little
different from many evening slippers
and street shoes. 1t Is a pointed shoe
with a high French heel. Sometimes
1t is decorated with a chiffon pompon,
sometimes with a satin bow. some
times with a buckle of metal, enamel
or stones. Again it is tied about the
instep and ankle with ribbons. Little
satin slippers in black and colors also
are worn with house frocks, and, like
other shoes, they are usually worn
with white or colored stockings.
y p p
Mules. with and without heels, are
perhaps the most comfortable of all
boudoir slippers. They are made of
cretonne or ribbon, of quilted satin and
of kid. Some of them, too, are made
of the lovely embroidered japanese
and Chinese fabrics that are used in
various sorts of slippers.
r.
Almost as easy to adjust as the mules
are the straw sandals usually made
with two cross straps of red cotton
that come from China. In spite OF the
fact that they are as troublesome to
get into as mules are easy to get into,
all sorts of ribbon slippers persist.
They are pretty, that is granted, and
that assures them permanence. Some
times they are shirred at the top on a
RE OF elastic, and sometimes they
are straight at the heel and sides,
stiffened with canvas and fitted over
the toes. This kind is perhaps the
most comfortable, and the addition of
ribbons to tie about the ankle makes
them more comfortable still.

Then, of course, there is the smart
little Turkish slipper embroidered with
tinsel and with a silk pompon at the
end of its pointed. upturning little toe.
