chine. 1t is the Germans custom to
fire three test shells to locate an avi-
ator's range. As soon as the first shell
broke. Thaw Immediately started to
rise and then dive to avoid the two
ensuing shells.
A moment later one shell exploded
a short distance in front and the third
one directly behind. 4. piece OF shrap-
mel carried away a portion Of the tall.
and for a moment the machine ap-
peared lost. Thaw succeeded in right

WAVE OF FIRE."
is HURLED BY GERMANS.
Many Of the Victims Die From suffo-
cation In Intense Heat.

A dispatch from the Daily Chroni-
cle's correspondent in the north of
France says that an officer who was
on the fighting line when the Germans
attacked with blazing gases has given
his Impressions of this novel engine of
warfare as follows:
II don't think the use of these flames
was any less formidable than that of
asphyxiating gases. Their effect at
short range is much worse, but It Is
easier to find shelter from them. The
flames carry only d relatively short
distance and cannot reach you a long
way off. as often is the case with poi
son gases.
"The flame is yellow with a blue
nucleus and is directed through a pow
erful air jet. 1t springs from the
ground level and expands into q roar
ing wave Of fire. Indeed. the flame is
very much like that of a common Bun
sen burner. used in a laboratory. only
yellower.
1.-The pressure of air or other gas that
is used to force the in1ammable liquid
through the jet must be enormous, In
view Of the volume and fury of the
fame. Many Of the victims died SIM
ply from %suffocntion. caused by the in
tense heat that rolled forward in front
of the flames. which did not touch
them"

velvet which has been made "old" by
the articles of commerce the house
wife with an eye to artistry in house
decoration may use up her old velvet
frocks to advantage.
For couch pillows, small table covers,
desk pads, table mats or to go under
lamps or portfolio covers the old velvet
is perfectly satisfactory. Even when
only comparatively small pieces are
good enough to use they may be sewed
together in strips and the seams cover
ed with narrow gold braid or tiny
bands of satin. While the dark color
ed velvets, wine, dark blue, dark green.
dark violet, etc., are usually considered
more attractive for house fittings.
black velvet is at the moment quite as
desirable. The present passion for the
accentuation of the black note in house
furnishing makes the black velvet
couch cushions and table mat entirely
suitable.
Naturally the black material cannot
be used in very large pieces without
creating a too somber effect, but when
made up with gold braid and fringed
or strapped with bands of brocaded
silk it makes extremely attractive
looking covers. Another way of using
the velvet to create rich effects in pill
low coverings or for the other purposes
mentioned is to make it the back
ground of the cover. against which
are appliqued small bright colored de-
signs cut from brocade or figured satin
or velvet.
Foot rest pillows may also be made
of velvet. They generally have an OBJ
long of tapestry, a third smaller, in
the center, and their length CORE
spends with the chair or divan before
which they are placed. One would
suppose in the square or oblong pill
lows that the seams would be in the
conventional places only, but very
charming ones are made where the
seams cross the face Of the pillow.

blnts FOR
housewives
French Toast Xvi

1Eeuc0 u sandwiches are among
he favorite tea room novelties that
housewives find it easy to duplicate at
home. These sauted slices Of bread,
put together in pairs, with any prefer
red filling have the advantage of being
adaptable to any Of the three meals of
the day, while their particular mission
Is to afford something a little out Of the
ordinary for the Sunday night tea table
or the after theater supper. The occa-
sion must decide what filling is ap-
propriate and whether the French toast
sandwich shall be served crisp and dry
from the griddle or accompanied by a
suitable sauce.
The novelty consists in the fact that
after the sandwich is made it is press
edeclosely together and then dipped in
u thin batter made in the proportion of
n beaten egg to a half cupful Of milk.
If the filling of the sandwich is u
savoly mixture Of egg, cheese, fish,
meat or fowl, n pinch each of pepper
and salt should be added to the batter.
If, however, the sandwich has a sweet
filling, the batter should be slightly
sweetened and favored with a tea
spoonful Of sherry. Cook the moisten-
ed sandwich on a hot, well creased
griddle, browning first Oh one side and
then on the other. A shallow iron fry
ing pan will answer the same purpose
and olive oil will be found an excel
lent substitute for butter.
For those who like something more
than the ordinary breakfast of fruit,
cereal and eggs several variations Of
the French toast sandwich will be
found appropriate to accompany the
morning coffee. Flaked salt Goldfish,
made a little less moist than in the
popular dish known IS creamed cod
fish, is an excellent filling for a break
fast appetizer of this kind. Half fish
and half finely chopped hard boiled
egg makes an equally good mixture, or
a little finely chopped cold boiled po-
tato may be used. Season well and
dip in batter. When thoroughly brown
ed on the griddle serve hot, either with
OF without Il little white sauce.
A particularly appetizing combina-
ton, suited to serve at breakfast,
luncheon or Sunday night supper, calls
for equal parts of finely chopped cold
boiled ham and tongue. This should
be seasoned with either French or Eng
lish mustard and moistened with a lit
tie cream or rich milk.
Lovers Of cheese will enjoy a hot
cheese sandwich with filling of sOf-
tened cheese moistened with cream
and highly seasoned with Worcester
shire sauce and paprika. The batter
should also be seasoned, and the fin
ished sandwich when toasted and serv-
ed piping hot should have much the
flavor Of a Welsh rabbit.
AS a simple sweet course ut luncheon
or family dinner French toast sand
wiches with fresh fruit or jam filling
will be found delicious.
The story goes that We are indebted
to a thrifty housewife for this particu-
lar brand Of toasted sandwiches. In
her endeayor to utilize an oversupply
Of dainty sandwiches prepared for an
afternoon tea the idea occurred to her
to brown q few of them on the griddle
for her luncheon the next day.

FAREWELL TO HIS WIFE.

WARE thee well. and II forever,
Still forever, fare thee well!
Even though unforgiving. never
Gainst thee shall my heart rebel!
Would that breast were barred before thee
Where thy head SO oft hath lain.
While that placid sleep came DER thee
Which thou ne'er canst know again!
Would that breast, by thee glanced over.
Every Utmost thought could show!
Then thou wouldst at last discover
Twas not we'll to spurn 1t SO.
Though the world for this commend thee.
Though it smile upon the blow.
Even its praises must offend thee.
Founded on another's woe!
Though my man. faults defaced me.
Could no other arm be found
Than the one which once embraced me
To infict a cureless wound?
Yet, oh. yet. thyself deceive not;
Love may sink by slow decay,
But by sudden wrench. believe not
Hearts can thus be torn way.
Still thine own its life retaineth-
Still must mine though bleeding, beat.
And the undying thought which paineth
Is-that we no more may meet.
These are words Of deeper sorrow
Than the wall above the dead;
Both shall live. but every morrow
Wake us from a widowed bed.
When our child's first accents flow.
WIFI fhnn foarh hor IN Qav nFatheriO
Though his care she must forego?
When her little hands shall press thee.
When her lip to thine IL pressed.
Think of him whose prayer shall bless
A.. thee.
Think Of him thy love had blessed!
Should her lineaments resemble
Those thou nevermore mayst see.
Then thy heart will softly tremble
With q pulse yet true to me.
All my faults perchance thou knowest.
All my madness none can know;
All my hopes. where'er thou goest,
Wither. yet with thee they 60.
Every feeling hath been shaken.
Pride. which not a world could bow.
Bows to thee. by thee forsaken.
even my soul forsakes MI now.
But tits done; all words are idle
Words from me are vAiner still.
But the thoughts we can not bride
Force their way without the will.
Fare thee well! Thus disunited.
Torn from every nearer tie,
Scared In heart and lone and blighted,
More than his ! scarce can die.

RECIPES FOR CAKE.

THE great number of cake titles
has long led housewives to be-
lieve that there were a great
number Of cake recipes in the world.
but there are really but a few, with
On infinite number Of small variations.
a good many cooks and teachers have
laid down a considerable number Of
general rules, as though each and all
were automatic and invariable, which
almost non of them are, although
valuable to the beginner. The expert
cook can use the materials in almost
"any old way" and yet have no fail
ures.
For instance. in making butter cakes
the almost invariable rule is to cream
the butter and sugar together, yet in
simple little cakes, when only a little
butter is used. this rule may be bro
ken advantageously without the tint
est waste of butter and sugar. Anoth-
Ell one Of many instances is that Of
adding the beaten whites last. Yet. in
making sponge cake. If the whites are
used as a foundation and beaten with
the sugar, so that the whole Is like an
icing which will stand before the -four
and beaten yolks are added, a very
fine cake can be made.
In the following recipe nearly all the
rules are broken and vet the results
are Of the best:
Five Minute Cake.
One cupful Of sugar. one-fourth cup.
full of butter. one and one-half cupfuls
Of -four, one t%easpoonful of baking
powder. two eggs, one ~teaspoonful OF
vanilla, two-thirds cupful Of milk. Put
-four, sugar and butter into mixer or
mixing bowl, break the eggs into
measuring cup and fill the cup with
milk, the eggs filling one-third or q
little more. and add the vanilla. Put
all together, beat five minutes and
bake in tiny cup cakes or in a thin
loaf. The small muffin tins are excel
lent for this. The little cakes, iced
either on top or on the bottom with q
milk icing, are Is dainty as a bonbon
and car be recommended as a whole
some sweet. Remember that the beat
ing must be vigorous and expert.

MY mind lets go a thousand things
&A Like dates Of wars and deaths Of
kings,
And yet recalls the very hour:
Twas noon by yonder village tower.
And IN the last blue loon in May

Crlsping the brook beside the road:
Then, pausing here, set down Its load
OF pine scents and shook listlessly,
Two petals from that wild rose tree.
