WHAT AMERICANS THROW AWAY.

The French family could live on what
the American family throws away. This
statement was recently made by a fru-
gal French housewife who looked with
CONSERVATION at the lavish wastefulness
Of the American cook.
In the matter of potatoes the French
woman finds fruitful field for compari-
son of the French thrift and the Ameri-
can wastefulness. American cooks fire.
quently pare potatoes before cooking
thereby throwing away a considerable
| portion of the potato. The French cook
! always cooks potatoes with the skin on
and serves them either with the jackets
still on or has them pared carefully in
the kitchen before.
! Then when it comes to using apples
. the French cook always uses the skins
| cores, seeds and all She washes the ap-
pies thoroughly, and then having pared
the apples and used them for apple pies
OF apple sauce just as we would she cooks
! the parings and cores in cold water with
sugar, and after the proper treatment
| she has the basis for apple jelly, the
only additional expense being the sugar
and the fuel to boil the jelly with.
! The American housewife is extremely
| wasteful when it comes to vegetables
| Take young green peas for Instance. The
American housewife throws the pods
/ away while the French housewife cooks
them slowly in a jar with a little butter
and no water and the result is as good
as string beans. Older peas that are
| tough are not suitable for this treatment
but they are useful for the foundation of
pea soup.
Most American housewives have a way
of throwing away odds and ends Of vege-
tables left in the ice box. The French
housewife would never think of doing
this She would make them into salads
or use them for a vegetable macedoine
or use them in vegetable soup or to flavor
meat soup.
Ends of asparagus, American cooks
would throw away, but the French cook
treasures them carefully to use as the
basis of cream of asparagus soup. The
tops of beets the American housewife
throws away but the French cook uses
them unless they are hopelessly old as
pot greens. So also the outside leaves
of a head of lettuce, and the coarse ends
of celery we throw away. The French
woman uld take the lettuce leaves and
the .-ry tops and chop them up, add
perhaps n littIs onion, simmer for an
hour or so very slowly, strain and add
enough thiCkened milk to make into q
very good soup.
And so it goes. The American kitchen
refuse is rich in the best sort Of food
materials il only the American woman
were wise enough to know it or, know
ing it. painstaking enough to make use
OF it.

That Neat Little House.

In the row Of old red brick houses on
the next street there is one that stands
cut from the rest. The others have d
careless. don't care sort OF appearance.
They know that they are old and out
of-date and they have long since ceased
to keep up appearances. But the one
house that is an exception is just as
ola as the rest. and its architecture is just
as commonplace and its trim is just as
cheap.
But if YOU notice you will see that the
doorknobs arc always brightly polished.
The woodwork around the window panes
is always white and spotless. The people
in the other houses don't take the trou-
BILE to scrub off the stains of rain and
smoke from their window frames. Then
the little patch of lawn in front Of the
house, although its grass is brown and
scared with the winters chill, shows that
in the summer it must have been kept
well cut and trimmed to the corners.
The walk is well swept and the gate is
never carelcssly left swinging open.
About the curtains at the windows
there is an air of sweet freshness that
appeals to you as you pass the house on
a winters day. They are OF uniform ma
terial and arrangement, though as q
matter of fact they may not have been
anywhere near so expensive as the
hroopy, bedraggIed curtains in the house
next door.
Even the ash cans in front of this
neat little house are spruce and trim.
The covers are tightly fitted and the cans
seem to stand up straighter than the
other cans on the street
AS you pass this house day after day
your curiosity increases. You feel graft
tude to the honest tenants who make
such a commendable effort to keep up
appearances in a neighborhood where the
other people don't seem to care.
You feel that you would like to know
them so that you could commend them
for their brave effort. You actually pic
ture to yourself the housewife of this
house, fine. honest sort of woman she
must be, who rises betimes in the morn
ing personally to supervise her one small
maid in sweeping the walk so clean. Your
picture is one of honest, Old-fashioned
thrift, and you are beginning TO think
that the city would be a better place
il there were more honest, conscientious
housewives like this one.
Eventually your curiosity gets the bet
ter of you. Your admiration for this
thrifty housewife is so great that you
want to know her name. You pause at
a little provision store on the corner and
ask them who lives in the neat little
brick house up the street.
THAT house that is so finely kept up?"
the grocer asks, and as you answer yes,
he says: "Oh. that is Senator IS
house It's a little house. but it is ele-
gantly fixed up and they say he keeps

FAMOUS
WOMAN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
January 6-Joan of Arc.

Certainly the most picturesque feminine
character in history, and by many con-
sidered the most remarkable, is Joan OF
Arc, who was born 5o4 years ago today
in the little town of Domremy, France.
Yet this remarkable young woman who
lived only to the age of twenty never
knew how to read or write. Her pious
mother taught her how to say the Pater
Noster, the Ave Maria and the Credo
That was the extent OF her book learning.
AS a girl Joan was noted for her ply
sical energy and her animation. She ex-
.celled in all occupations of women; in
housework she had not her superior in
the village. But as time went on she
became more and mGe silent. Her for
mer merriness and animation now gave
place to long periods Of meditation and
silence.
Joan was religious and she was patri-
otic, and her religion and her patriotism
were both simple and the product of an
untutored peasant mind. There was
legend that France would be delivered
from her troubles through the instru-
mentality of a pure maiden, and this pre-
diction made a deep impression upon
Joan's mind. Gn the part of the country
where Joan lived the tradition had it that
this pure virgin would actually come out
of the forest Of Domremy. Finally the
idea became fixed in Joan's mind that she
was to be the maiden who would deliver
her country from the English and from
disaster.
The story Of Joan's meeting with/the
King. of her triumphal march to Or
leans at the head of an army of 5000. of
her military success, of her delivery of
the French King, and. her own capture
by the English, her examination, con-
demnatien and execution at the stake
all these things are well known to every
one who has read history.
In appearance Joan was Of medium
height. She was not beautiful. but she
had wonderful melancholy eyes that were
much talked about. 1t has been said that
her features were expressive of rustic
honesty rather than Of mental power.
But although it was Joan's lot in life to
meet disappointments and buffetings, and
to be condemned at the last, it was also
her privilege to raise her poor life to a
place among the most famous characters
OF all time.

cooked luncheon at the associations
headquarters.
Yesterday Mrs. H. B. F. Macfarland,
wife of former Commissioner Macfar-
land, and Mrs. Kirk Holmes wer present
serving as an informal sort of reception
committee for those who came for
luncheon. There are eighteen tables, each
table seating six women, SO that the ca
pacity of the lunch room may be said
TO be los at a time. Yesterday almost
twice that number were accommodated at
luncheon. In the new vicinity chosen by
the association there are seven large Of
flee buildings and numerous small Offices,
where women are employed so that there
is a GoOdly crowd of women to draw
from.
At luncheon every one serves herself
that is one of the reasons why the prices
on the bill Of fare are so low. The other
reason is that the association doesn't at
tempt to make any profit from the un-
dertsking. Its object is twofold; first 70
provide cheerful, homelike eating place
for its members and the women of
Washington, and. second, to promote So
ciability and friendliness among the
women who are employed in the down

Through the Eyes Of
a Woman
In Washington

this, ring but, it is whispered, and not SO
very softly, either, that she has possessed
this lovely pledge of her troth for ten
months, although, as every one knows,
her engagement has only just been an
nounced.
Yesterday the jeweler showed a re-
markable new watch chain for men, and
it is a watch chain that has already been
effected by a few of the most particu-
larly dressed men in town. There is
nothing extreme about it, for extremes
in fashion are not at all in vogue with
men this season. But it is decidedly diff
ferent, and that is in its favor. OF course,
the new watch chain is black SMost
everything that fashionable men wear
this winter is black. The fact is this
new watch chain couldn't be much black
er if it tried. for it is made of small
onyx beads with here and there a fine
gold bead to break the monotony 1t
sounds like a rosary, but 1t doesn't look
like one and the effect it makes against
white waistcoat is really quite worth
while

Wednesday, January 8, 1918.
According to astrology. the stars are
kindly in their sway today. Mars, the Sun
and Mercury are all in benefic aspect,
while Mercury is mildly adverse.
1t is propitious time to study. investi-
gate. and attend to affairs connected with
medicine, surgery. and mechanics. Amer
leans will gain great fame in Europe IN
all these lines of activity.
The seers foretell the rebuilding of Eu-
rope by the enterprise Of persons from
the United States, and there is a proph-
ecy that youths who now study in
colleges will travel far to find their
life work.
Stock-raiseTs should benefit this year
The stars indicate prosperity for them.
There is a sign read as promising great
gain to those who deal in animals
whether buying, selling. or training them.
While this rule prevails. success through
resourcefulness and enterprise is pro-
noted II is said.
Fame for a man noted for pluck and
perseverance will be recognized by Con-
gress. one who reads the planets an
nounces.
Under this confguration it is held
lucky to ask for favors from those who
WELD power. Government patronage Is
subject to fortunate guidance.
Success in lines little thought of will
mark the Panama-Paciic exposition, If
the seers are correct in their forecast
Through some incident connected with
the fair international good will will be
promoted in a remote country that is des-
tined to play an important part in the
future.
Russia is subject to a sway that Is be-
lieved to indicate victories and ultimate
expansion of power. The CZar will have
many troubles, however. and may suffer
bereavement.
Persons whose birthdate It is have a
happy omen for the year. Prosperity and
good health are foreshadowed by their
stars.
Children born on this day probably will
enjoy the good things of life. These sub
jects of Capricorn are likely to be shrewd,
fair, and clever.

DAILY SHORT STORY.
A KITE AND A CURL.
By ROSE MILLER.
lCopyTight. l9l5.l

Vop9usht- L5l0.l
Prof. Irving and his small son were
constructing a magnificent kite in the
cool shade of the orchard trees.
The grass was dappled with sunlight
and gay with clippings Of bright paper
from the kite: the air was sweet with
the smell Of hay from a neighboring field
and melodies with the song of birds in
the apple trees.
In Prof. Irving's opinion the afternoon
was fiawless. In Sammy's heart was a
secret wish that high wind should sud-
denly arise to bear his kite skyward.
What's the use of a kite without Wild
to fly it?'' he demanded peevishIy.
THE wind will come in a day or so.'
soothed his parent. Meanwhile We will
go fishing. Then, when a breezy day oc-
ours, your kite will be all ready to soar
up to meet the man in the moon
That will be jolly" chuckled Sammy.
TN bet that old man in the moon will
be aw'fiy s'prised.''
He will, indeed! Now. son. our kite is
finished all but the tail-we need some
thing bright and fiyaway for the end OF
our tail-suppose you go up to the house
and ask Mrs. Keppy for a bit of red rib
bon or tape or something."
Sammy darted away among the trees,
lodged under the fence and made a de-
tour through the bayfield, so that he could
turn a somersault among the haystacks,
then under another fence into the rectory
garden that was next to his own home.
Prof. Irving whistled over his task. and
when II was completed he threw himself
back on the grass, and, pipe in mouth,
dreamily watched the clouds.
There was a problem to be solved this
summer-what was to become of his
motherless Sammy when the fall came
and his duties called him back to the uni
versity town? For three years his sister
Eleanor had taken the place of Sammy's
mother. and now Eleanor had married
and gone away.
I have gotted a flyaway. daddy" an
Eounced Sammy's voice
Prof. Irving sat up. yGI'ned. and in
the very act paused with his mouth
wide open. He stared at the trophy III
Sammy's grimy hand.
What is that?" he thundered at last.
Sammy's face grew pink. It's a fly
away he announced in shaking voice.
His father continued to stare at The
object dangling from his sons fingers.
It's curl!" announced the professor
at last
Sammy nodded. It's a fyaway for

ATLANTIC CITY SEES
MANY NEW STRAW HATS
A Vogue for Wells Strikingly Seen
on Boardwalk of Famous
Watering Resort.

Straw hats are not only to be seen in
the shop windows to be bought by those
who are contemplating trips to the South
ern resorts. They are actually being
worn and. according to the Atlantic City
correspondent of the woman's Herald,
they have already appeared in goodly
number on the Boardwalk, sponsored by
leading fashionables of Philadelphia and
New York and Washington, who are
paying q flying visit to that resort.
Wells are also noticed in abundance at
Atlantic City. and it seems quite likeiy
that these flmy adjuncts to woman's
wardrobe are again coming Into their
own. Pert wells of shadowy texture,
tipped with ribbon and narrow bands Of
fur which reach barely TO the nose are
In evidence. But the newest fancy in
wells are the voluminous flowing wells
worn over the small toques.

ALI Collars Are High.

We may abjure the high, boned col
lar in our minds and protest that we
will be comfortable at any cost, but
gradually we will succumb to the fash
ion for covering the neck. Its insist
ence wears out opposition. One sees
the smart woman wearing it on every
side, and one adopts it in piecemeaI.
Probably 1t will oust the low collar by
February.
Fashion is not opposed to the open
V-shaped wedge in the 'front.' but IL
exacts a covering for the back and sides
Of the neck. Therefore. the new stand
ing collar of white satin that only ex-
tends to the ears is popular. for it Is an
artistic compromise.
The high choker OF fur is in strong
demand. 1t is far more fashionable
than the loose. swinging shoulder piece
or the small scarf with head and tails.
These chokers are merely extra high
bands TO go around the neck. reaching
to the ears and fastening in front with
a loop or a rose or twist of ribbon

Dean Worcester VIII Address the
Press Club Tonight.

Motion pictures OF bird and animal life
in the Philippine Islands, in addition to
the remarkable pictures displayed last
week before the Senate Philippines COM
mittee. will be shown at 9 O'Clock to-
night at the National Press Club in an
illustrated lecture by Dean c. Worcester,
former member OF the Philippine Com
mission.
Mr. Worcester is considered one OF the
best Informed men in the world on con-
ditions in the Philippines. He has been
intimately acquainted with life on the
islands since 1888. and has had many
narrow escapes from death at the hands
of the head-hunterS and, othA- savage

Have you seen the new breakfast,
lunch, tea and dinner rings? That is
what the jeweler calls them and the
only reason why we women don't all
possess ourselves of this newly devised
bauble is that the jeweler sets their value
a SS25. This new ring is really four
rings in one. There is one ring that is
composed of sapphires and diamonds, an
other that is made of pearls and dia-
monds and a third part that is simply a
diamond solitaire. Either of these three
rings may be worn acknowledgements
ably at breakfast, luncheon or tea. Then
the three rings can be slipped together
forming one brilliant dinner ring con-
tanning diamonds, pearls and sapphires.
1t is really a very clever idea, isn't it?
And speaking of rings, have you caught
a glimpse of Miss Clark's engagement
ring? It is really exceptionally good to
look at. 1t contains a single large soli-
taire stone which is placed very high in
a platinum setting. The ring itself is
very fine circle of iIigree platinum.

Congress in which II Is shown that the
library contains PIP, ,255 books, 135. .323
maps and charts, 6SO,799 volumes and

the library is asked for with racks for
10000 more books. The library has an

ARE YOU EDUCATED UP
TO BLACK DECORATIONS?
1t Isn't Every One Who Appreciates
the Funereal House Furnishings
Now In Vogue.


You might think that mllady's draw
ing-room was being fitted up for a fu-
neral when you see the interior decor
ator at work Transforming it into the
most fashionable of interiors. He is
hanging voluminous folds of rich dead
black velour at the sides of the long
windows-not the rich, bright black vel
vet such as milady's new dinner gown
is made OF, but a heavy, clinging fabric,
mysterious and lifeless. The new Chinese
Chipperdale chairs have just come back
from the upholsters supplied with seats
that are black brocade, with slight trac-
cry of gold that only makes the black
appear the blacker. At milady's favor
ite antique chair there Is a black, round
cushion upon which milady's dainty toes
are to rest, and the vase on the black
lacquered table is of black and white
striped porcelain.
1t is somber, to be sure, but then ii Is
the latest fashion. No one but the most
up-to-date and most daring Of women
would attempt such a scheme of dec
orations. Therefore, it is approved by
fashion.
But really it isn't so funereal as it
seems, all this black. The fact is milady
has gone into very bright colors lately.
Her evening gowns are rich as a trop-
ical sunset. Their brilliance rivals the
jewel chest Of a prince of India. The
glorious deep colors of church embroid-
cries of the Middle Ages are pale be-
side the fabrics which have been wrought
for her evening attire. Hence the black
background-the black portieTes that
frame to perfection the picture Of mi
lady as she enters the room. the black
upholstered chairs and lounges for mi
lady to sit upon and the black foot
cushions to show of the brilliance of
her resplendent little slippers.
There is really method in all this black
madness
