Everybody this paper from the editor in his

night has brought forth.
And after that he or she is TO have the day free to
spend il as others spend IT, and like others to return
to work on Tuesday morning wondering whether it is
the turkey or the plum pudding which produces that

SCHOOL LAWS AND CODIFICAT1ON
From the Smyrna Times.

From the Smyrna Times.
Much agitation is had throughout
the State over the proposed codifica-
ton Of the school laws which will be
asked of the coming Legislature. Com
missioner Wagner is recommending
some radical changes among which is
the placing of the taxation on a real
basis instead Of a rentable or fc-
titious basis. The matter is being
well discussed by the Smyrna Parent
Teachers Association, as we'll as
other Parent-Teachers' Associations
in other towns.
While there is argument brought
out for and against said changes,
there is no dispute that our school
laws need to be changed and more
up-to-date and progressive methods
employed. Delaware in many re-
spects IS a back number in relation to
its old, fossilized school laws. but
what is really best will no doubt be
brought out and generally discussed
before the Legislature when It con-
venes next month.

VETHLEHEM'S BABE

Just think, so many years ago,
On far Judeas plain;
The Blessed Mother made her way,
In travail and in pain.
She reached the lonely stable.
On that bright December morng
And in that lonely manger,
The Infant Child was born.
The Inn was full, no place was therA
For the Virgin Mother found;
And travel worn and weary,
She must rest upon the ground.
But an Angel stood beside her,
And a Light from Heaven was shed,
And with resplendent glory.
Shone around the Christ-Child's
head.
And the Wise Men came with her,
They had travelled from afar;
Across the plains and valleys,
They We're guided by Star.
And the Shepherds on the hillside.
We're chanting on that morn;
And giving praise TO God on high,
Because a Christ was born.
And the Morning Stars we're singing,
Their refrain-"Peace on Earth"
Made the welkin ring with music,
Heralding the Saviour's birth.
So let us Join the Morning Stars,
And with the Shepherds sing:
Giving all the praise and glory,
To our Blessed Newborn King.

This admira BILE fabric has been used
for blouses and gowns in = wholesale

has rarely failed to give satisfaction.
In its nature IT is not new to the
world of weaving. 1t is merely bit
Of hy-play on an old theme. Through
out the ages there has run the same
Kind of fabric under A variety of
names, although in each epoch the tex
ture and surface of the fabric have
slightly changed. i'm ord or that it might
be novelty.
1t was not to be expected that the
French mills would give up crepe or
wolfe during war times and substitute
a novelty of which they were not sure.
There has not been q great deal of eX-
perimentation in weaving the last two
winters in France. although Rodier,
who seems to touch lucky stone
every season thus keeping himself
millionaire. invented this new kind of
Jersey cloth which has spread over our
continent with the rapidity OF q swarm
of locusts.

time offerings. but il will probably

for blouses. and in that capacity ii has
given good and STEADY service. Now

they say. than chiffon cloth beca use
IL does not need such frequent and
close connection with a hot iron is does
the latter. Americans will probably use
the fabric as they use wash muslns,
but the French. who never approve of
a frock without lining. have sent over
these new summer frocks with such
enhancing color schemes in the lining
that women who in cool china ties
may, be tempted to adopt the idea.
This is interesting fundamental
difference between the French and the
Americans in the matter of dress. As
a nation, we like to have as few lin
ings in our clothes as possible, but the
French wish to line everything. 1t

To Freshen Velvet.

r HE usual way to steam velvet is
over hot fatiron, covered with a
wet cloth. Another way is to dampen
evenly the back of the velvet and use
no cloth, or it may be held before the
spout OF a kettle in the steam The
best way, however, is to put a large
wet cloth upon the top of the range or
stove, that is not hot but just warm,
way the velvet can lie there and steam
thoroughly, and SO get the pile well
raised without steaminE the hands and
face. To steam more slowly and keep
the cloth from drying too soon. put a
stout paper beneath it.

lines unless the outer material stands
on a solid foundation.
So. the first spring gowns made OF
transpa rent materials. which are es-
peciaIly for the American trade, have
such enhancing color schemes in the
foundations that without them brill
1ancy and character are lost.
The frock sketched today, which was
at the French openings. embodies all OF
the above. 1t is of checked red Geor-
gette crepe with lining of dark blue
satin cire. The ribbon, which is elab-
orately used on the outside of the
frock is of the same shade as the lin
ing. All of these details carry OUT
Worth's theories a to what we should
wear for 1916. and the ribbon bows
are significant because they are a part
of widespread movement to put guam
titles of ribbon on every frock.

ASPARAGUS COOKERY.

Sparrow grass, some of our New
England forebears-if we had any
called asparagus. and IT is still
called in some parts of old England. is
one OF the blessings of spring. Few there
are who do not like it, and few there
are who cannot afford to make it one
of the staple spring vegetables. For
it can be had abundantly in the mar
kets for reasonable prices The ten
derest and plumpest stalks cannot al
ways be had for song: but there are
less tender stalks and stalks of un-
even and thin appearance that are,
nevertheless, very good-and very
cheap.
The clever cook never decides how to
cook asparagus until she sees. just the
bunch she is to cook. II it be of the
tender long, green variety. or of the
carefully until it is tender. and then
serves ii either with melted butter and
pepper and salt or with not too thick
cream or drawn butter sauce.
If the asparagus is of the scrawny or
tough sort, she cooks it more elabor
ately. Asparagus soup can be made of
this less tender sort. Boil the aspara
gus. cut into small bits. until it is very
tender. and then rub it through a fine
sieve. Heat again with the water in
which it was boiled and mix with an
equal quantity of hot milk. Thicker

Here is another dish that can be
made with the less tender sort of as
paragus. Cut the asparagus into two
inch pieces and boil tender. There
should be two cups of them. Beat the
whites and yolks of three eggs sepa-
rately and then together. and add the
asparagus, tablespoonful of butter
and half a cup of milk. Cook in dou-
BILE boiler until the mixture is creamy
and cooked sufficiently. Turn on a hot

Asparagus pudding is made in this
way: Mix together heaping cup of

four well beaten eggs, tablespoonful
of minced ham, two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter, tablespoonful and a

to hold it. Cover with a cloth and
