For Children's Parties

.T DON'T think I shall ever allow Johnnie to go to another party" complained the mother of a. sturdy six -year-old. Every time he goes to one he eats a lot of things he shouldn't and his stomach Is out of order for a week afterward." I'd. And isn't it true! Why will mothers persist in filing youngsters up with rich cakes and candies and many oth- CT unsuitable things just because one of the children happens to have . birthday party? There are many good things, how ever. that may be served at children's parties which are not harmful. Sponge cake. gingerbread and simple cookies are better than rich cakes. Instead of cream candies and bonbons have stick candy. small hard candies. peppermint drops or rock candy-or, better than candy. dates and figs. For the very small children milk Is the only bever- age which may be served. but the older ones may have cocoa or fruit lemon- ade. When entertaining two and three year olds it is safest to serve only milk and a variety of sweet crackers, but for older children th' menu may be more varied. Any of tn following menus is suitable:
 Cream of Chicken Soup. Waters. Bread and Butter Sandwichea Vanilla Ice Cream Served in Half

 The ever pleasing moleskin also fig- ures in the cape voluminously cut. with a deep revers collar of tailless ermine. It is lined with creamy satin and hand- somely matches the dashing hat of white chip straw faced with black vel- vet.

 Quite the most gorgeous coat dis played yet this season is the one pic- tured, . blue and gray velours. A straight panel back gives an ecciesi- astical effect, outlined with four rows of silver braid. This continues down each side of the front and outlines the pocket openings. The high collar closes with two tabs held by gun metal buttons like those on the ample cuffs. This garment is belted across the front at a slightly lowered waist line.

UTILITY CARE.

"A ToPCOAT to be really useful
 should comprise three virtues 1t should be waterproof warm and stylish. but at the same time it must not look like a raincoat, nor should it look like one of those painful ulsters of other years which were practically nothing but overcoats. very good selection of materials would be a chev1ot in some becoming color, not of necessity dark, which could be more pr less fitted around the shoulders to a point. with belt two inches above the waist line. where circular skirt should be attached which should meas ure about twelve inches from the ground. This type of coat is dressy, but entirely practical. for it's full skirt and raised waist line follow the dic- tates of the seasons fashion. Top coats with wide capes are also ex- tremely> fashionable and becoming, but they would not~be as good an addition to . limited wardrobe as the palmer coat of a more conservative style.

WOMEN IN THE WAR

THERE can be no question that, the
 behavior of the great mass of wo- men in Great Britain has not simply exceeded expectation. but hope. And there can be little doubt that the suf- frage agitation. in spite of the self ad- vertising violence of its extravagant section, did contribute very materially to build up the confidence, the willing ness to undertake responsibility and face hardship that has been so abun- dantly displayed by every class of woman.
 It is not simply that there has been enough and to spare for hospital work and every sort of relief and charitable service; that sort of thing has been done before; that was in the tradition of womanhood. It is that at every sort of occupation-clerking. shopkeeping, railway work. automobile driving, agri- cultural work. police work-they have

been found efficient beyond precedent and intelligent beyond precedent. And in the munitions factories. in the ham, ding of heavy and often difficult ma chinery. and in adaptability and inven- tiveness and enthusiasm and steadfast- ness, their achievement has been as- tonishing. More particularly in rela- tion to intricate mechanical work is their record remarkable ard unex- pected.
 Those women have won the vote. Not the most frantic outbursts of mili- tancy after the war can prevent their getting 1t. The girls who have faced death and wounds so gallantly in our cordite factories-there is not incon- siderable loss of dead and wounded from these places-have killed forever the poor argument that women should not vote because they had no military value.-H. G. Wells.

COOKED FRUITS.

BOOKED fruits are especially good V for delicate appetites and diges- lions. Raw fruits are for those who are stronger and can get all the bene- fit from them. The benefit is diminish ed by cooking. The best way of cook ing fruit is not by boiling. but by sim mering. In cooking very tender fruit bring the sirup to the boiling point. then throw the fruit in the hot sirup. cover tight, remove from the range or fire and let it stand for half an hour. This applies particularly to berries.

Hand em- broidery is used effectively for others of these jersey silk dresses, and some times it is combined with the fur for trimming. Jersey silk blouses are quite the vogue now among the leaders of fashion and bid fair to be worn exten- sively later on.
 Lavish will be the use of fur as a trimming for separate coats. suits and dresses. All kinds of furs will be used and put on in novel ways. as pockets and belt trimmings, skirt bands and for interesting new collars of the chin pro- tecting type. such as we wore last win ter.

 The collection of buttons is marvel ously beautiful in design and color and extensive in size and shape. Cut steel is favored, jet and bone, or. rather. a composition that resembles bone or ivory. Many pleasing shapes and sizes of pearl buttons are presented, and ball buttons of silk, velvet and bead are seen on some of the new clothes.
 Serge, the reliable and always adapt able material, will continue to play an important part in cool weather ward robes, as it has done with those of the past spring. In fact. serge walking frocks have been worn right through into summer. for on cool and rainy days the dress of serge combined with taffeta has been almost the universal
