A charming sleeve of chiffon or other

not quite so short, but its fullness and

use of circular trimmings. folds,
founces, tucks and even embroidery.

00 7HEN making croquettes the
WV sauce is the most important
item. Put a cup of milk in a
double boiler and scald it. Rub a ta-
blespoonful of flour into two table
spoonfuls of butter and stir this paste
into the scalding milk until it is dis
solved and the sauce has thickened.
Add a teaspoonfuI of onion juice, a
teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth tea
spoonful of pepper, little cayenne
and little nutmeg. Remove from the
fire and stir into the mixture a well
beaten egg. Place on the fire again
just long enough to cook the egg with
out letting the mixture boil. Add two
cups of meat minced very fine. Pour
the whole onto fat dish and set it
away for two or more hours. 1t will
then be stinened and can be easily
nodded. The softer the mixture the
better will be the sauce, and If 1T is al
lowed to stand long enough the mold
ing will not be difficult.
To mold, take a tablespoonful of the
mixture and roll it lightly between the
hands into a ball. Have plentiful
supply of bread crumbs spread evenly
on a board Roll the ball lightly on
the crumbs into the shape of a cylin-
der. Have ready bowl containing
well beaten eggs Add to the egg wa
ter in the proportion of one table,
spoonful of water to each egg. Put
the ball into the egg and with a spoon
moisten it completely. Lift it out on
a knife blade and again roll lightly in
the crumbs: Have every part entirely
covered so that there will be no OPEN
ing through which the grease may be
absorbed. If light yellow color is de-
sired. use fresh white bread crumbs,
grated from the loaf, on the outside of
the croquettes and do not use the yolk
Of the egg.
Coarse fresh crumbs are used for
fish croquettes, which usually are made
in the form of chops or half-heart
shaped. A small hole Is pricked in the
pointed end after frying, and a sprig
of parsley is inserted. For lobster
croquettes a small claw is used in
stead of the parsley. Cracker crumbs
are used when a smooth surface is de-
sired. Have all the croquettes of uni
form size and shape, and lay them
aside on a dish so that they will not
touch one another for an hour or more
before. frying. This will make the
crust firm. The white of an egg alone
may be used for egging them, but not
the yolk alone. Whip the egg with the
water just enough to break it, as air
ing. and let the grease penetrate.
To fry. let the fat become smoking
hot, then test it with a piece OF bread.
If the bread colors while you count

An American came near to being ar

Every sign Of gayety and every pos

France. London. Berlin and Petrograd
went about their usual routine OF pleas
ure, but not Paris. Emotional in every
thing she was passionately resentful of
any phase of life that gave even the
slightest hint of gayety.
Paris wore black before there was any
cause for it, and even those who did not
have reason to go in mourning after
ward wore black out of courtesy to those
who were bereaved. Travellers in Berlin
and London could not know there was
war from the appearance Of the city, but
from the first day Of August, 1914. no one
could fail to feel that the end of the
world seemed to have come for Paris and
France.
1t is simple to see why there was such
a difference between her and the other

uses quantities Of black tulle and black

countries-the only places where she can
sell the bulk Of her garments-by touch
ing up her black surfaces with gorgeous
ly colored beads and sequins.
All Of which looks as though the much
heralded influence of the Russian ballet
on American spring costumery will not
materialize. Why should 1t? France
took it as the motif for all costumery for
nearly three years. We wore minaret
skirts, the pantaloons Of Bagdad, sleeve
less bodices Of crystals and Persian head
gears of jewels, and we threw red and
purple and black and yellow and gold to-
gether with a reckless hand, sometimes
skillfully. often terribly.
When the original Russian ballet burst
upon Paris. the designers Of that city
went to its performances every night
with notebooks. and even Leon Bakst
and Paul Poiret, who are always oriental
in their tendencies. threw themselves
heart and soul into Asiatic clothes, and
what with Bakst turning them out for
PaQuin, and Poiret turning them out for
himself and Paul Tribe doing a vast
amount of designing. all Of Europe and
most Of America was flooded with Rus
sian ballet clothes.
The only chance for them to have any
influence on our costumery this year is
through specialized American designing.
To France the Russian ballet Is a dream.
1t ruled for six years and 1t ceased to be
a novelty, although 1t was always a de-
light.
America, unfortunately. has not got the
Russian ballet in any of its glory. Those
who knew 1t in Paris know that we have
so far only the leftover parts of it. Not
only has Leon Bakst changed his stage
scenery for something not as good as the
original. more crude in coioring and less
ravishing to the eye, but the company
has none Of the great dancers it did have.
There is no longer Karsavina. there is no
Ida Rubenstein. no Mordkin, no Pavlowa.
and, above all. there is no Nijinsky, with

such as probably no other executive
of Louisiana has received from the
National Guard. The ceremonies,
which preceded the address by Gov
Pleasant, were most impressive.
Governor Pleasant. in his address
to the regiment said.
i know that you have been
taught that actions speak louder
than words, so | en- not going to-
say very much to you except that
Louisiana is proud indeed of the
reputation its regiment has made on
the border. | am glad, indeed, that
YOU men were not called upon to

which has kept America from being
defeated in any of lis wars.
Arrangements for the muster'out

meneed this morning with the ply
steal examination of the men OF
Company A, by DR.. H. G. Cole. The
work will progress rapidly. A COM
pany of the regiment will probably
be formed in New Orleans to keep
in it the 120 or more New Orleans
men who are members of the Or
eanization.
Each man of the regiment will
receive discharge from the United
States government and practically
every private will have not less
than $50.
While the men were figuring that
they only earned SIS a month as
private soldiers, it appears that the
government was really paving the
men Is cents a day in addition to
the SO cents pay. Consequently the
service of three months entities the
men to about S27 from this source
alone, and this and two months
pay which the men will receive
upon being mustered out. will
amount to approximately $50 after
deductions have been made for
clothing purchased by the men
from government stores. Each man,
therefore, will be able to 90 back
into civil life with enough to keep
him going until he gets job. or his

Her lips were still and numb,

Silently longing for night to come;
To still the pain that pierced her

With only one wish, to be alone.
No one knew that she could pray,
No one cared it seemed,
Until it came to close of day.
And the stars we're all agleam.
Then. with aching head bowed low,
And hands so tightly clasped;
From the depths of a tender heart,
She prayed--.and humbly asked.
That all who went that day be
spared,
To their loved ones left at home.
But one sweet life she prayed for
