Featuring high collar, which may
be turn down when warmer days come,
large pockets and unusually welI-cut
sleeves, this coat is excellent for spring
wear. It is made OF heavy plaid silk,
but 1t is unnecessary to suggest that
serge. cloth or gabardine may be used
instead In medium size only 25k
yards 54-inch material are required for
the coat When the collar is rolled
back it adds revers to the front of the
coat. If belt is added, an attractive
blouse effect is gained,
Only two sections OF the pattern are
placed on the lengthw1se fold of the
cloth. the back and the collar. The
sleeve, is laid on a lengthwise thread
and is laid between the back and the

iceable and Adaptable to many occa-
sions.
BroadcIoth In chiffon weight is used
for more expensive models, and a coat
OF the style here illustrated carried out
in white broadcIoth@ would be excellent
for dressy occasions.
Jersey cloth may also be employed to
fashion the coat.
The vogue Of Jersey weaves is not
confined to sports garments, its origi-
nal use, but is now to be found for
whole tailored suits. waists. froclzs and
separate coats. There is also tricot
serge, a serge with jersey weave,
that is not quite so elastic as the plain
Jersey cloth. OF course the craze for
sports clothes is responsible for the
jersey vogue. and probably it is its
ease and adjustment to the form with
out overmuch fitting that recommend
it to the present styles.

CORNER FOR COOKS
Scotch Breads.

Almost every natfonJhas breads pc
culiar to itself, but nj all of these
attract the attention Of tourists. Some
recipes find their way into our cook
books; Others however, become
known by word of mouth. All dish es
of other countries have to be care
fully prepared. or they will not keep

housewife is often frugal in her use
of the richer ingredients and to get
her results we must follow her meth

Scotch Oak Cake-Put a half pound
of fine Scotch oatmeal into a, mixing
bowl. In a cup put a, pinch Of oak-
ing soda and a piece of butter the size
of a hazelnut; add q, half cup Of hot
water and stir until the butter is all
melted. Then mix with the meal in
the bowl, using q thin bladed knife;
when the mixture is blended, turn

off all the loose meal which does not

the cake in three pieces and place
them on a gridd4e to toast. As they

THE DECLINE OF
VOLUNTEER WORK

A woman prominent in philanthropy
les in another city was speaking the
other day of the difficulty of getting
volunteer workers. Years ago, there
seemed to be a lot of young women
who could be secured to visit the
sick and read to them, teach in mis-
sion Sunday school, etc. Today she
finds it almost impossible to get such
workers.
Probably the type. of women who
used to do this work are now engaged
in professional employment Form
erIy these girls remained in their
homes, helped about the housewerk
and had much leisure time. They
were available for all sorts of philan-
thropies. Now they need all their
free time for restNand recreation.
Thus the world gets on a%more
conmercia1ized basis. The unmarried
girl who used to be visiting the sick
is now pounding a. typewriter.
But the family that has one or more
girls having a, regular income should
be in easier financial circumstances.
The girl having become self support
ing, the man of the family is relieved
from one drain of his income. Some
of this will be. absorbed by the mod
>ern cost of living, but not all.
The man who is relieved from the
support of his daughters SHOULD re-
member that years ago the women
used to carry on without pay many
charities and philanthropies. Now
much of this work has to be paid for.
The work of women has added new
wealth to the community, some of
which should be returned to the phil
anthropies which women used to sup
port so generously. Also a peculiar
RESPONSE bility rests on people of both
sexes who have ample support with
out taking any business or profess
sionaI position. The number of vol
unteer workers is too few today, and
charity is a field offering many salts
