hut China is the one YOU would want
to marry" He drew attention to the
solidity and genuineness of Chinese
productS-thc dura bility of Chinese
silks, the non furnishing gold thread
used in their embroidery. the purity OF
their silver. the age-long utility of
their finely proportioned furniture.
All these qualities of an exacting ar
tistic conscience applied to matters of
decoration and of dress are causing
our attention to turn slowly but surely
to a new art bihle-the Chinese with
out heraldry of trumpets. without ad-
vance advertising. suddenly the Chinese
influence has arrived.

KEEP COOK BOOKS CLEAN

Few things are more untidy looking
than a soiled cook book and few things
run more constant risk of getting
soiled. Even the best of cooks some
times spill few drops Of milk or flick
a few grains of cinnamon from the
measuring spoon. And where Is it more
natural that they should fall than on
the long-suffering cook bookp
1t is necessary to take good deal of
care, then. If one Is to keep the family
recipes In presentable shape. Perhaps
the easiest way to do this Is to have
them all written on cards and arranged
in alphabetical order in a card index
box. Have various headings - frozen
desserts. meats, salads. soups, pickles,
preserves and jellies, and all the rest
on bigger cards. and in the sections so
formed arrange the individual recipes
in alphabetical order. Then II one is
soiled 1T can be destroyed and replaced
with a fresh ono.
A metal rack in which the book oan
be opened and placed in convenient
position is another means of keeping
the recipes clean. For If the book Is
rectly next to the mixing bowl there Is
little danger of spilling anything on it.
Washable covers for cook books help
to keep the covers clean. They can be
made of coarse white linen or of Sing-
ham. and the name of the book beneath
may be indicated by cross stitch letters
or 1t may be written in indelible ink on
the cover. If cross stitch letters are
used II is only necessary to have ini-
tials. F. F.. for instance, would stand
for Fanny Farmer.
One clever cook shielded the pages of
her recipe books with a sheet of win
dow glass bound on the edges. She laid
it over the book in use and naturally
it kept the pages clean. The glass
could then be washed easily and kept
clean. 1t might be bound with strong
linen tape. glued on. or with passe-par-
tout binding. which is waterproof. OF
course. 1t would be necessary to use
a little care in washing the glass, as

Again Paul Poiret.

As has SO often happened before. IT
was Paul Poiret who struck the first
note with his "coole hat" made by the
house of Martins. a season ago. This
new idea in millinery was the fore
runner Of many others from the same
source. We had the mandarin hat. with
its ponpon exactly in the middle of
the top. where the oriental dignitary
wears his button of office: then the
same pointed Japanese headsear. then
the pagoda hat, and now here is an
adaptation of the Chinese woman's hair
rosette in the form of room cap.
This latest expression is entirely too
frivolous for any one but bride who
is looking for the latest wrinkles for
the trousseau. which is to be more
ravishingly lovely than any trousseau
has ever been before. :.
The Chinese original is In stiff black
from the middle. but bride prefers
lace ruffies and pink silk rose with
green satin leaves, and fastens the
whole adorable conceit to her head
with band of pink ribbon
To return to outdoor headgear of
oriental tendencies. one notices another
feature copied from the celestials,
which may also prove too outre for
the western hemisphere, This is the
addition to a Chinese hat of long
dangling queue of twisted coiored
cords, ending in silken tassel, which
bobs and swings with every movement
of the wearerS head

Too Fantastic.

It is too fantastic. perhaps. for the
generality of womankind. it's effect
with sport clothes is decidedly stun
ming. Imagine a white corduroy skirt.
very short. above white buckskin shoes
strapped with very dark blue leather
and worn with white stockings clock ed
with blue. Then an open-necked blouse
with rolling collar, Of fine white
handkerchief linen with blue hair
line: over this a new blazer coat Of
gorgeous red and blue stripes; the
whole topped by quaint, pointed
Chinese hat of faint putty color. with
a dangling queue of red and blue
twisted silk cords. ending in tassel
of the same. No one can deny that
the new conceit would be a piquant
finish to Well-thought whole.
The woman who observes the trend
of clothes must not ignore the influx
of Chinese ideas this season. Perhaps
when our civilization is as old as theirs
we may have evolved as beautiful and
appropriate standard form of ap-
parel as they have.
