deep inner sense tells her that where

be thrown into the other side OF the
scales IL she would keep the balance

For those who have ample means to

them II they had any news that was not

had come on an excellent mission.

WHENCE COMES THE
VOGUE FOR STRIPES

Just as the leopard was tine first to
wear spots. so it was no doubt the zebra
who introduced the first vogue for
stripes. And art students tell us that
the principle Of symmetry. which is exem-
plified in the simple but beautiful lines
OF a Grecian vase. and the idea of repe-
tition. which is nothing more nor less
than the idea of having things in resu-
lar rows, which is exemplified in the col
umns on the facade of an Egyptian or
Grecian temple. are among the two most
primitive and most Fundamental ideas OF
decorative art
From the very dawn of history de-
signers have realized the beauty and pos
sibilities OF design that rested in this
simple trick of putting things In rows.
And primitive though the idea. we are
again coming back to the fondness for
stripes When Poiret wanted 10 strike
a new chord. and vigorous chord. in the
realm of designing. he hit upon the idea
Of reviving stripes. not little, timid
stripes such as We had been using for
several seasons. but bold. brave stripes
that could not only be seen but also
heard.
So the zebra's stripes have returned.
We see them in the black-and-white
striped dinner sets tnat nave IOunu tneir
way to the boards of those who can have
a new dinner service for every turn of
fashion. We see them in wall papers. i'm
curtain and portiere materials. in uphol-
stery material and even in furniture. II
Is the very last word in the realm of the
interior decorators art. And in natter;
Of dress, stripes are none the less fash
ionable. We have sIPwn tired Of the b.
zarre and often confused designs OF the
vogue for so-called Oriental designs. The
small flowered patterns. too, aboundinS
In rosebuds and festoons. certain design
ers tried to revive with the return to the
Dolly Warden styles. but they lacked
character, and that intangible something
We call ''smsrtness" and the French
call Chic that fashionable women now
adays always demand. So 1t was that
Poiret designed fabrics of stripes. and 80
1t was that knowing manufacturers re-
produced these designs in silks and other
fabrics and that dressmakers and de-
signers made use of these striped mate
rails in the newest petticoats. frocks. and
blouses. Apparently. stripes have come
to remain in favor with well-dressed
women for at least a season.

In a few moments both the President and

HONEY FOR FOOD.

Honey is far more wholesome than cane
sugar. And as the American public eats
far too much cane sugar. honey would
form: {, very good substitute, especially
for children. who crave sweets AMI who
eat much more candy than IS Sood for
them.
So II your children like honey, give It
to them often. II they don't perhaps
you can teach them to like it-but most
children like 1t naturally.
Strained honey on bread and butter
forms a palatable luncheon dish. instead
Of another dessert. Strained honey on
baked apples. too. Is delicious. Some
children like honey on cereals and this
combination is wholesome.
A small piece of honey In the comb.
with a soda biscuit or other plain wafer.
makes another Wholesome dessert for
children. And dry. crisp toast spread
with honey is also good.
Then there are some simple cakes made
with honey instead Of sugar that are not
too complicated for children to eat.
Here are recipes for two ginger breads
made with honey. Either would be sood
with apple sauce.
For the first. beat an egg and add a
cupful OF warmed, strained honey. a
tablespoonful and a half Of shortening.
a cupful OF sour milk. a quarter Of a
teaspoonful OF salt. half teaspoonful
Of soda. n tablespoonful of ginger. ana
two cupfuls of flour. Mix thoroughly
and bake in a bread tin and serve in
slices.
For the second. heat together a cupful
Of strained honey and half a cupful OF
butter. and add half cupful OF sour
milk. Beat thoroughly and add two egg
yolks. beaten to q cream. Then add two
cupfuls of flour. sifted with half a tea
