paper of some neutral color and cut II
lengthwise ION the stripes into long
strips measuring about three inches
across. Paste these strips around the
nursery wall over the ordinary wall paper

Spring Fashions Shop
Il Complete Revolution
Display Of New Styles at Levertons Shows that We Are
at the Very Beginning of New Era in
Womens Wear

There has been an absolute revolution
in women's fashions" said a representa-
tive of Leverton's yesterday afternoon t.
a representative of The Woman's Herald
who had dropped into the well-known
shop for women in G street to talk over
the new spring styles.
"AI the old styles have gone. Hats.
suits. coats, evening gowns. afternoon
gowns. outing clothes and blouses-ail
are absolutely different" and to see for
herself the representative of The
Woman's Herald peeped into the show
cases in every department to see what
spring had brought forth.
In evening gowns the empire. waist
line is the, rule. The sleeveless model
persists. but there is frequently a small
suggestion of a sleeve of tulle to relieve
the severity that was not always becorn-
ing in the sleeveless model. Pastelle
shades have taken the place OF the more
vivid hues for evening wear. Pinks and
green's. yellows and pinks in delicious
shadings are seen on the new models.
In afternoon gowns of course. the high
collar which has been struggling for a.
ceptance for a month or SO Is seen to
some extent. But the generally becoming
neckline that stands high in back and
low in front is still seen on many Of the
most attractive gowns Newest and most
modish of all the colors in afternoon
gowns are putty color and battleship
gray Taffeta is still in high favor. both
the chiffon and pussy willow variety. and
the newest of all fabrics is embroidered
taffeta which was seen In a lovely model
of black silk embroidered in rich blue and
silver threads. A stunning model in wide
black and white striped gabardine over
white taffeta trimmed with splashes of
black taffeta, showed that the magpie
combination is still in favor. Other
shades in afternoon gowns are
green and Belgian blue.
An exceedingly popular model this
spring is the street gown made with an
eton jacket, which gives the effect some

ACR
I RRZzXlAI
AND NOlES
Caroline Calvert. Jane Austin. Ida
Lewis.

Every one knows Ida Lewis as the
serves this title. for she has to her
credit many rescues from drowning,
all of them thrilling. She was born
on February IS, 1871, and her father
was lighthouse keeper at Newport
and then at Lenie Rock. Soon after
she was fifteen he became paralyZed
and she became an adept in rowing
the boat that carried her small sis
tiers and brothers to school and. that
went for supplies to the mainland
So, in 1855, when she was seventeen.
II was not strange that she should
rescue four young men from an upset
sailboat, Eight years later, in the
winter, she rescued a man overcome
by cold in skiff in storm. and the
next autumn she rescued two men,
overcome in the gale. and then return
ed to their barge and rescued the
sheep they were carrying across the
harbor.
In 1869 her most spectacular rescue
occurred, when she went hatless and
shoeless in her rowboat to rescue two
soldiers going from Newport to Fort
Adams. They had started out in a
sailboat with an inexperienced boy to
manage the boat, and in a squall il
capsized. The boy was drowned, and
one of the men was unconscious when
Miss Lewis rescued him, but her care
full nursing of him at the lighthouse
saved him.
She received letters commencing this
rescue from all over the world, and
she also received silver medal and
several gifts of money.
Jane Goodwin Austin. born on the
same date in 1881, was interested in
Puritan history from childhood. for
the family of both her mother and
her father had lived in Plymouth for
generations She began to write about
the Pilgrims as n young girl. But at
seventeen she married. and for thir-
teen years retired to domestic life
Then she began again to write. and
wrote much before her death in 1894.
The pilgrim Books" are her best
known writings.
Caroline Louisa waring Calvert.
known as Louisa Atkinson, is another
author. She was born in Australia in
1884 Both her mother and her father
had written. and she followed in their
footsteps. She was also a botanist
of some note and gathered many in
teresting specimens of Australian
horticulture.

of a one-piece frock. Several delightful
models were seen in the always smart
navy blue trimmed with black braidins
or with silver braid buttons.
Spring coats show a return to covert
CLOTH which is as smart as il was two
months ago. All the spring coat models
show the empire waistline with flare
skirt section. Many of them show
trimming of bright emerald green. There
are several interesting coats in novelty
mixed goods of green and tans. Black
and white checks are still in exceedingly
good style.
Hats are interesting this year and
more becoming than for several seasons
The small. narrow Tommy Atkins hat
persists In good style and the shallow"
small sailor shape-the crown of which
Is in some instances not more than two
inches highs a close second to the
narrow brimless hat. The barn yard
straw, a glossy. larSe-grained straw, Is
enjoying great vogue among smart wom-
cnOere. as it has in New York. One
Of the smartest of all models shown at
Leverton's is a wide black and white
striped silk hat trimmed with bunch
of red cherries at the front and black
ribbon streamers at the back
In the new suits putty and covert
color are the most in evidence. Black
and white checks will have a strong
hold this spring. and the ever-satisfac-
tory navy is also in favor. Heavy silk
poplin is one of the newest fabrics in
the best quality of suits. and several
models OF pongee indicate a return to
that charming fabric.
In separate blouses there is, to be sure.
a goodly showing of high necked models,
but there is also tendency to cling
to the graceful high-in-the ba ck-low-in-
the-front model Many of the most eff
fcctiveA blouses show a use of bright
green BLK used with lace or chiffon.
charming and serviceable model is the
country club waist. which is made Of

CRANBERRY VARIETY.

Cranberries are decidedly refreshing.
and at this time of year when the heav-
Ter winter vegetables begin to pail on
| the appetite. cranberries can be utilized
| in many interesting ways to lend variety
and Zest to the menu.
When looking over cranberries prepara-
tory to cooking them, always discard any
that are soft or discolored. Remove all
the stems and wash the berries thor
oughly, then cook them in any desired
fashion.
Here is a reliable recipe for cranberry
sauce: Put a quart of cranberries with a
pint Of cold water over the fire, bring
them to the boiling point. and boil for
five minutes. Press them through a col
ander and add a pint of graduated
sugar. When 1t is dissolved turn out the
sauce into a mold. The same proper
tons can be observed for an unstrained
sauce. Crush the berries, so that all are
broken, with a wooden spoon. but do not
strain out the seeds and skins. Some
persons think this sauce decidedly pref
cradle to the one that is strained.
Cranberry pie is made by filling a lower
crust with cranberry sauce. strained or
unstrained. and covering 1t with strips
of pastry. crossing each other in lattice
like fashion, and then baking until the
crust Is brown
Cranberry pudding can be made in this
way. and will be found delicious by any
one who likes the cranberry taste: But
ter porcelain stewpan. and in 1t put
pint Of cranberries and a cupful of sugar.
Make pint of biscuit dough. and form
II into a ring big enough to touch the
edges Of the stewpan and leave quite a
hole in the center. Place 1t on the cram
berries. and put a pint Of berries mixed
with cupful of sugar in the hole In the
rOiddle Of the ring. Then pour in a pint
Of boiling water. cover the saucepan and
stew for twenty minutes. closely covered
all the time. Turn out on a serving dish
and serve with cream and sugar.
For cranberry charlotte. another des-
sert. cook a quart of cranberries with a
cupful each Of apples and raisins. until
tender. Add two cupfuls of sugar, and
cook until the mixture Is like marmelade.
Cool and add two whipped egg whites.
Line a buttered quart pudding dish with
bread. There should be slice to At the
bottom. and inch-wide strips overlapping
all around the edge. Put the cranberries
In the cavity, and cover with another
circle Of bread. Bake for thirty minutes
and serve. A meringue may be added
and Drowned after the charlotte has been
baked for twenty-five minutes.

that was not urgent. When women
are willing to work for so cents a day
their need is imperative.
"A Scent lunch is provided for the
women. and IT Is nourishing. Many Of
the women are factory workers idle be-
cause of the depression in their trades.
The garments they make are dis
tributed by the social workers to the
poor in the districts where the work.
shops are located.
The women work only 1--WE hours,
so they are able to look elsewhere for
work for better wages. We are SIM

need"

women are loath to part from the long,

contour to the mature figure Among

prets the straight line in new way.
