The eaver of cotton cloths have
become expert in making fabrics much
like the heavier weaves of wool in ap-
~pearance, as we'll as some novelties
that appear only in cotton. These
heavy weaves, including cotton cordu-
roy and corded materials, are also
shown in basket weaves. They are
all used for the popular sport skirts
n summer coats that are featured
so strongly for street and outing wear.
All of a sudden cretonnes have sprung
into use in the making of apparel. Gay
ly lowered and quantity figured Gre
tonnes are used to make bright morn
ing dresses and are called garden"
dresses. Floppy-brimmed hats or
a bonnets (which are sunbonnets
parading under a new name) are worn
with them and made Of the same
%cretonne.
One of the best models for a coat
of cotton corduroy, corded cloth, or
fancy weaves in cotton, is shown in
the picture given here. Like a few of
the heavy linen weaves, it is unmus-
sable. For decoration it depends
upon machine stitching and buttons
made by covering button molds with
the fabric. 1t is cut along the same
lines as popular sport coats of wool,
with high, convertible collar, big peck

Three boas are shown here, one in
white, one in the natural tan and
white color of the feathers, and the
third in black tipped with white. In
the last the white 1ue is tied or pasted
on to the colored fiue, and there is
an endless variety in combinations to
choose from in boas made in this way.
But the boa may be had now in any
color, even the most unusual new tints
and shades.
II is to be remembered that a bit Of
rich and fluffy neckwear presupposes
a hat to correspond. In the group
pictures here a white fabric hat is
shown trimmed with a pattern applied
In small black beads about the brim
edge. 1t has a collar of white ribbon
with small squares of embroidery In
black, and a white rose is mounted
near the edge OF the front brim. The
second bead-trimmed hat shows a re-
versal of color; white beads are ap-
piled to a black hemp shape with fac.
ing of white Grape.

Strawberry Custard.

Now that strawberries are in their
season n likes to find new ways of
serving, and coming across this recipe,
it sounded quite good" so l am going
to send it in, writes a correspondent.
One that does not care for so large
a recipe can halve 1t. Select the fin
est, freshest berries; hull, wash and
drain carefully. Turn them into a
deep glass dish, sprinkle each layer
with powdered sugar, and just before
serving pour over a cold boiled Gus
tard made with the yolks of six eggs,
one quart of milk, one cupful of sugar,
a pinch of salt and one teaspoonful of
lemon extract. Whip the whites to a
very stiff froth, add three Tablespoons
fuls Of sugar and drop in large spoon
fuls in a shallow pan of boiling water.
When cooked lift them out carefully.

The ostrich boa has met with an
unanticipated but enthusiastic revival
of popularity, and seems destined to
outdistance other kinds of fluffy and
airy neckwear. The unusually cool
weather Of spring has made some sort
of protection almost a necessity, and
there is no denying the becomingness
of soft feathers about the throat.
White fox, red fox and light gray or
tan fur neckpieces one sees with the
most summary of white turbans and
iower-trimmed hats. This vogue is
probably a reflection from the west.
ern coast, for visitors to the Panama
exposition have found the weather
cool and everyone indulging in the
San Francisco privilege of wearing
furs with summer gowns.
The feather boa Of today is short
as to length, long as to fiber, and liked
best in white, natural color or two
toned combinations. Occasionally &
boa more than long enough to lie
loosely about the throat is seen, but
not often. They all fasten with bows
Of soft messaline ribbon, apparently
or the exception is SO rare as t.
prove the rule.
Very smart sets consisting of bos
and ostrich-trimmed hats are shown
and there are great numbers of cock
AIDES, fans, and other fanciful orna
ments made Of ostrich to be used OF

TAKE TIME WITH ASPARAGUS
Prepared Hastily or carelesaly a Great
Part Of Its Finer Flavor Will
Be Lost.

The very best method of boiling as
into a bundle. and then plunge the
stalks into a vessel of boiling water, al
lowing the tips to come above the
water. The steam will be sufficient to
cook these tender parts. Serve on
toast or with melted butter. In Eu-
rope a little butter is placed on the
edge of the plate and the hot head of
asparagus dipped into it before eating,
but in this country a white u usu-
ally accompanies this dish.
An economical way, and when there
are children a more convenient way
also, is to cut the tender parts into
short lengths and cook in the least
quantity of sailed water possible. 1t
should be done in about 20 minutes,
when 1t is taken from the liquor and
the latter thickened with a little flour.
butter and cream. The asparagus Is
laid Upon toasted bread and the sauce
poured over. In this way one gets the
full benefit of every bit of the vege-
table while the tougher portions can
be made into a nice asparagus soup.
To make this, cook the stalks in
sailed water until tender and press
through a sieve. Put two cupfuls Of
milk over the fire or milk and a white
stock mixed. When it boils, stir in
two tablespoonfuls each of -four and
butter thoroughly rubbed together. by
pouring the scalding milk over gradu-
ally. Put over the fire, and If found
too thick when brought to a boil thin
with hot milk. Add the asparagus
pulp. Season with salt and pepper,
then strain into the soup tureen.
Asparagus omelet makes a delicious
dish for either luncheon or breakfast,
and is a good way of using up cold as
paragus that is insufficient for making
into a salad.
Make a plain omelet with three
eggs, three tablespoonfuls of hot wa
ter and salt and pepper to taste. Add
the water and the seasoning to the
yolks and beat in the whites at the
last. Pour into a hot buttered frying
pan and cook slowly. To test whether
an omelet is cooked sufficiently press
with the finger. If 1t m away
clean the omelet is ready to serve.
Turn upon a hot platter and have
ready the asparagus heated in a little
cream or thickened milk. Fold over
and serve garnished with parsley.

To Cook CauIifloMer.

When you are boiling a cauliiower
you should leave a few of the tender
leaves to make it look pretty. If
you take them all off it is rather I'M
interesting in appearance.
Put it into rapidly boiling water,
with the flower face downwards, and
a wooden spoon put across the top to
keep it from rising.
A young and tender c~auliiower will
take about a quarter of an hour. An
older one from this time to half an
hour. Many people serve this vege-
table with a plain white sauce, made
in the following way:
One ounce of butter, one-half pint
of milk, one-half ounce OF -four; pep.
per and salt.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULL|NCS

Kuno Meyer said the other day that
the great war was the price the world
is paying for the mechanical comforts
which have been piled up so rapidly.
Again another historian clinches the
point, The time It is w. E. B. Dubois,
the author of a brilliant book on
The Negro which Holt has just pub
lished in the Home University Lii
brary.
Dubois says that the Negro in
Africa has been practically enslaved
by the civilized nations of Europe.
The growth of trade unions made in
vestors look to Africa for opportun-
tiles. That meant the partition of
Africa. And this partition of Africa
brought revision of the ideas of Negro
uplift. Why was it necessary, the Eu-
ropean investors urged. to push a con-
tinent of black workers along the
paths of social uplift by education,
trades unionism, property holding and
the electoral franchise when the work
ers desired no change and the rate Of
European profit would suffer-"
Accumulated profits from the me-
chanical inventions of the last few
generations drove France, Belgium,
England, Germany, Italy, Span and
Portugal to carve Africa according to
their own tastes. Dubois can see no
hope for the race until Negroes fight
not simply for their W rights as
men, but for the ideals of the greater
world in which they live; the enamel
patton of women, universal peace,
democratic government, the s~ocializa-
ton of wealth and human brother
hood"
That does not mean inevitable prog
ress. 1t meal unacceptable degrade
ton if the generous spirits of the
world do not strive to the utmost. At
a crisis like this every virtue, every
ideal, every dream of glory can be
forsaken in an instant. Brute force
can displace reason, and the world,
like the gallant boy on the Aisne, can
make itself the instrument through
which a greater force works out its
inscrutable ends through the impulses
of terror and repulsion."
The alternative is justice, fraternity
and equality.

The campaign that was begun
among the colored schools by Mrs.
Helena Holley, under the direction
of superintendent Horn, for the bet
terment of health conditions among
the colored children, was greeted
with enthusiasm by the pupils.
The pupils of six colored schools
met at the Colored High school where
they we're gathered in a large hall.
The Health hymn was distributed
among them, and with the first few
chords struck on a piano, the song
was taken up and carried through
splendidly, the true musical instinct
of the race rapidly caught the rhythm,
and thus the message Of the words
was crystallized into their thought
through the pleasing medium of the
tune, which was Tipperary.

were very much pleased with the re-
suits of their efforts. The party was

ored ward schools, and teaching the
willing little dusky students the
catchy song.-Houston Post.
