Before an audience that practically fill
ed the ballroom Of the Willard yester-
day morning Miss Susanna Cocroft, Of
Chicago. the welI-known author and
health expert. described her ideal of the
woman worth while
In the audience were some of the most
prominent women of Washington's OFF,
cial, social. and artistic circles. includ-
ing Mrs. William Jennings Bryan. wife
Of the Secretary of State; Mrs. Franklin
X. Lane. wife Of the Secretary of the
Interior: Countess di CeIlere. wife of the
italian Ambassador: Mrs. Christian Do
mtnique Hemmick. Mrs. Ten Eyck Wen
dell, and many others whose names are
prominent in Washington's social regis
ter.
Miss Cocroft' who was one of the
leading organizers of the Woman's Peace
Party. here in January. returned at the
urgent invitation of Washington wom-
en-. who have been interested in the
health movement of which she is the
leader and which now includes 1000
women throughout the United States.
If any of Miss Cocroft's auditors came
to hear her talk beauty culture. they
were sadly disappointed. for the little
woman pitched her talk on a much high
er plane than beauty culture
She said beauty of form must after all
come from inside. womans mental at
titude. she declared, had more to do with
her appearance than corset stays and
cosmetics. She pleaded for poise, men
tai as well as physical, and asserted that
a woman would never be at her best
until she had acquired it. Then would
follow symmetry of figure. self-sufficiency
and all the qualities which combined
make the woman worth while
Miss Cocroft's whole attitude. mental
and physical. seemed to prove every
word she uttered. She has young voice
and a sirlish carriage, and as she walked
across the stage demonstrating how
mental attitude affected the physical. the
Washington women arose in their chairs.
so interested were they in the demonstra-
ton.
Her lecture. which was mostly an in
innate talk with her auditors. although
at times she rose to real eloquence. was
filled with kindly counsel She took her
hearers into her entire confidence, and
although there were hundreds of women
present the lecture was almost like
talk among friends.

There are many ways of cooking sau-
sages, and although this delectable type
of food is not especially suitable for
spring, it does give flavor to a meal and
therefore teInpts the appetite. The ap-
petite is always supposed to need tempt
ing in spring. ana-if it docs sausage
now and then is quite excusable.
Here are some rather interesting ways
Of cooking sausage. First, however, II
should be remembered that the sausaRes
should be of a reliable brand. or else the
homemade product of a reliable butcher.
SO that you will surely set only first-rate
materials
One good way Of cooking link sausases
is toJdrop them into boiling water and
boil them for ten minutes, then drain
them and broil them on both sides. Serve
very hot
Another good way to serve sausaGes
is to brown the link sausages In q fry
ing pan and in the fat from them to
brown slices of apple half an inch thick
and serve them together.
Little cakes OF sausage meat can be
carefully Drowned in the oven and then
served with white sauce poured over
them.
A good sausage roll 10 made Of sausage
meat formed into roll or cake and
cooked in a dripping pan in the oven.
Surround Ii with halves of parboiled DO
tatoes. basting them with the grease
from the sausage. and letting Them
brown nicely. Pour on the grease when
the sausage and potatoes hive been re-
moved and make gravy by adding Hour
and water.
Little balls of sausage meat-not big.

served with lamb chops or other meat ~

II a man does not admire a beauti-

A woman OF real physical beauty,

Crowds make way for her. Busy
men stop to listen to her. Men of in

social gathering. Women as well as

Because she is beautiful.
