GETTING THE WINDOW BOXES READY

It Is almost time TO make ready the
window boxes. and every lover of flow
ers rejoices. In city or country nothing
gives a more interesting character to 4
house than well-iilled and cared for win
dow boxes. In France this fact is fully
understood. The humblest cottages are
often say with flowers blooming on the
window slls. Even the business houses
there have made use of the window
boxes.
One of the great dressmakers, whose
name is known all over the world, appre-
ciating the suggestion of charm and cool
ness which flowers give. has the windows
of his business establishment fitted out
with boxes filled with perfect. growing
flowers. In the summer, the time when
many of his foreign patrons visit Paris,
his business house makes an altogether
beautiful spot in a neishborhoOd which
is itself attractive enough. Surely if
the fair American has any money to
spend she will gladly spend it there.
One thing to remember in planning win
dow boxes is that it Is better to have
a definite color scheme in mind and TO
buy flowers which conform to this
scheme. For instance. link and white

seraniums and ivy are interesting for a

Potted plants, sunk in a Ooxful of
moss, can be used, or else the flowers
and vines can be planted directly in

Waffle making is an art. difficult,
il you will, but not at all impossible
to master.
The cooking of the waffle and the

be scrupulously clean. to begin with.
Heat it, Then rub it with piece
of salt pork or a little piece of but
ter wrapped in n piece of clean gauze
or cheesecloth. Every part of the
iron must be creased, and one way
to make sure of this is to close the
iron so that the melted fat Will run
into all crevices. Then fill the iron,
when II is smoking hot, with the bat
ter, about two-thirds full. Shut the
iron and cook for one or two min
utes on each side.
So much for the cooking. Here is
one recipe for the batter:
Sift three cupfuls of -four. tea
spoonful of cream of tartar and
saltspoonful of salt. Beat two eggs
light. Dissolve half n te2spoonful of
soda in a little hot water. Add to
the milk. then add to the flour and
also add the eggs and a tablespoonful
of butter. Beat thoroughly. for the
batter must be very smooth.
Here is another waffle batter: Mix
well a quart of sifted flour and three
teaspoonfuls of baking powder. and
put in half n cupful of butter. Then
add three beaten eggs and enough
milk to make a thin pouring batter.
Pour into the iron. heated and bake.
Waffies may be served in many
ways. and if different sweets are de-
vised to serve with them. they make
a very acceptable dessert a couple of
times a month. and may also be
eaten occasionally for breakfast.
Served with strained honey they
are, perhaps, best of all. although
maple syrup is also delicious with
them.

served with fried chicken with good
results.
They can be sprinkled with granu-

They can be served with butter and
sugar.
They can be served with the juice
from any sweet, canned fruit.
Any fruit sauce, made of a syrup

after they are made, as they become

Why Will They Continue to Embanass
the President

From the Springfield Republican
Tt is singularly unfortunate for the
President, that at the present crisis two
naturalized 'Englishmen, should have
an important place in his councils.
Even under ordinary circumstances
there is food for thought to all voters
of other than British affiliations in the
fact that while Scotland and Canada
are represented in the cabinet, no Carl
Schurz and no Charles Nagel are in
cluded in the Presidents official family.
Secretary Wilson is mildly pro- Brit
ish, but Secretary Lane is aggressively
90. In fact he is regarded as the leader
of the WAR Party" in the cabinet.
Under the 'present unprecedented cir
cumstances the presence of these men
constitutes an affront to all voters Of
other than British extraction and a
menace to the republic. They should
have the decency to resign; their adhe.
sivepess to their jobs in the face of the
present crisis cannot but embarras the
President and hamper his efforts to
keep the United States at peace with
the rest of the world.
