Emergency MarshmaIlows.

A friend in need to the housewife is a
box of marshmallows. There are as many
ways to use these dainty candies as there
are days in the week and they come to
the rescue in many a tight place.
For instance when you want to frost
a cake and perchance have no eggs. just
cut marshmallows up into quarters and
place them between the layers Of the
cake. Put the cake into the oven for q
few minutes until the ymarshmallows are
melted and, prestoi the frosting is made
and in place.
MarshmalIows are very acceptable in
salad. Used with hard grapes cut up into
quarters. sections of marshmallows are
delicious. Marshmallows used with diced
pineapple make a salad that is acceptable
to many palates.
To a cup of hot chocolate add a marsh
maIlow il you want something more de-
Iicious and richer than whipped cream
that is not half so much trouble. Some
cooks who wish to make a particularly
rich chocolate cut up several marshmal-
lows and melt them in the chocolate be-
fore pouring it into the cups and then
add the whipped cream as usual
With old pieces of cake a delicious des-
sert can be made with the addition of
marshmallows. Cut the cake into squares
and put pieces of marshmallows on the
top OF the pieces OF cake. Press the
pieces together. put into the. oven and
when melted you will have a delicious
dessert. A custard sauce or a chocolate
sauce served with such a dessert adds to
its goodness.
And marshmallows make a very good
ice cream. Try making chocolate ice
cream and adding pieces of marshmallows
to the mixture just as it begins to freeze.
A delicious sweet to serve with the aft
ernoon cup or chocolate consists Of two
small saltine waters made into a sand
wich with a marshmallow between the
two and heated in the oven till the
marshmallow melts and browns slightly.
Chocolate waters treated in this same
way are delicious and are a goody that
might be given to children as a treat
without danger of harming them.
) For young folk and old gathered around
an open fire place there is nothing more
delicious than toasted marshmallows. The
boarding school method is to spike the
marshmallows with hat pin and toast
them in a gas flame, but the really best
way is to put them on a long toasting
fork and hold them near enough a good
crisp wood fire SO that they can brown
without smoking.

What Are You Going to Do?

Are you getting ready for "self-denial
week,"-that is what the club women
have decided to call 1.-THE week when
every woman in Washington is going to
turn to and help local charities? It
is to begin Ash Wednesday, Feb
ruary Il, we are told, and will last
for a week and every one in town
is to have an opportunity to do some
thing, in some way for the various
charitable interests of the DISTRICT
The main idea of this week is just
that-to give us all a chance to know
what Washington charities are doing
what needs to be done and what we
can do. There are always a great
many strangers in Washington-new-
comers and transients here for a few
months or a season at most-who
no not feel that they are to be here
long enough to become interested in
any of the various philanthropic un-
dertakings. But this week of charities
will overcome just that difficulty. A
thousand men and women in Wash
ington are to work for these seven
days. to carry on the work Of bring
ing the charities to the attention of
the people who might help them.
And every one will be expected to
give literally. for this winter, espe-
ciaIly, all our various good works are
in dire need of funds What are you,
personalIy. going to do about it? Think
it over and when February II comes
be prepared for your share of the
giving.

Beg a Dollar, Earn a
Dollar for the "CauSe"
Miss Alice Paul. of Congressional
Union. Tells of Plan to Raise
$4,000 as Memorial for Susan B.
Anthony's Birthday February IS.

The suffragists' Lent has begun. It
came in three days ago, and it is going
to continue until February Is. That is
what they say at the Congressional Union
headquarters, where plans are in prog
ress to raise a $4,000 memorial fund for
Susan B. Anthony and to have this fund
complete by a week from next Monday
the birthday OF the pioneer suffragist
I'VE began last Monday and We have
raised 800 every day SINCE" said Miss
Paul, who is engineering this memorial.
I'VE are all making an extra effort We
are all working to get money to con-
tribute to this fund. and the fund is to
be used as soon as it Is raised to go on
with the work for which Susan B. An.
thony gave so many years OF her life and
the work for which we are all working
here at the Congressional Union-the suf-
frage movement.
There are an sorts Of ways of raising
money" Miss Paul went on, but the
way that we are going to raise our fund
is by calling on every woman in the Dis
trict who favors the suffrage amendment,
every woman who holds the name of
Susan B. Anthony in veneration, to con-
tribute at least 81. And Just think what
Susan B. Anthony did for women! 1t was
she who brought about the married
women's property act In many Of ouI
states, and II was sne more tnan any
one else who opened the doors of the col
leges and universities to women.
Every woman ought to be able to
raise a dollar. She could earn it In
any of a dozen different ways. she could
get ten of her friends to contribute 10
cents each, she could subtract it from
her savings account and never know
the difference.
This Federal suffrage amendment was
Miss Anthony's greatest ambition. She
worked here in Washington for It for
several years. and two years ago the
Congressional Union started here in
Washington for the purpose of carrying
Miss ARthony's work to completion. We

Origin of Pin Money.

The writer has a paper Of very old
handmade pins which. as may be sup
posed. are much clumsier and cost con-
siderably more than the machine pro-
duct that we buy today for cents a
paper.
When pins were first invented they
were, OF course, very expensive and the
money turned over to their wives for
spending money by the men Of that day
gradually came to be termed pin
money" The first pins were of wood,
bone or silver. according to the wealth
Of the users, but the metal pin on the
order Of those we use now did not make
their appearance until about the middle
OF the sixteenth century.

That women in politics can be proved
to be above personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT is
ably shown in the case Of Miss Kate
Barnard, the commissionery OF charities
for Oklahoma, who has been offered re-
nomination without opposition on the
next Democratic ticket. but refuses to
run for what would be her third term
because she is working with all her
heart and strength to effect the passage
in the next legislature Of adequate laws
to protect the Indian orphans Of Ok
