! LUNCHEON DAINTIES
| FOR THE CHILDREN

Lemon cheese makes a healthful
filling for sandwiches for the lunch
box. Place in double boiler. or in
a bowl in a sauce pan containing
boiling water, one cup of powdered
sugar, four tablespoons of butter,
the juice and rind of two lemons,
and three well beaten eggs Cook,
stirring constantly, till the mixture
is very thick; when cool, put in a jar
with a close fitting lid, and it will
keep for weeks.
Orange ginger cakes are also good
for the little folks to take to school.
Heat one and three-fourths pounds
of molasses and three-fourths of a
pound of shortening over slow fire !;
when blended, beat well and add
three-fourths OF pound of brown
sugar, two and one-fourth pounds of
flour, one ounce Of ground ginger, one
grated nutmeg. one-half cup of or
ange juice and the grated rind OF
the orange and one level teaspoon of
soda. Work the dough we'll and
leave in a cool place over night. In
the morning roll thin. cut in squares,
brush with milk and bake in a mod
crate oven.
y very nutritious supper dish for
the children is made by heating two
cups of milk until it almost boils
add the strained juice of half a lem
on and sugar to taste. Let this
stand until it curdles, strain and

exorbitant and the supply limited.
There is no question that the color
scheme will soon begin to narrow
down. We shall be forced from the
bright things into black and white, and
even black is going to be problem.
AS a matter of fact, pure white may
become so also. The natural white is
q grayish-yellowish white, and We may
live to see an Easter parade with that
the main color.
But the troubles of the trade don't
stop with dyes. Ribbons, silks, velvets,
and straw braids are all at skies and
seVens. Imported materials are all
going off the market. The best forget
me-nots, lilacs, June roses, and other
flowers of the kind normally come
from Europe, but they not to be had
now. Straw hats are up as much as
100 per cent in price
The milliners expect a good year,
however, as the public has made so
much money out of munitions orders,
war stocks, bumper crops, high prices,
and rush orders that every one has a
pocketful to spend.

WARNING FOR WOMEN
FROM THE MILLINERS

Chicago. H., Feb. Women wear
ing 1916 spring hats are to beware of
transforms.
This advice comes from milliners
participating in the annual millinery
exposition, which opened yesterday at
the Palmer house for the so day buy
ing season which brings retail buy
ers to Chicago from the west and
northwest.
Rain, it is explained, is always inju
rious to feminine headgear, but this
year, because of the queer line OF dyes
that are coming on the market, one
good shower is expected TO turn a
bright red hat into purple and sky
blue creation into a fast green some
where in shade between shamrock
and last years fast black cravanette
raincoat.
About the only thing used in wom-
ems hats" said H. H. Newfield of the
| H. f. Mercy company, that is left to
US on the good old normal basis is the
| wire. Everything else that goes into
! 'em is queer scarce, or sky high price.
! And even the wire isn't a great deal
! of comfort to us, because they are not
using much wire in the high effects
! that are being shown now
/ The dye situation is the worst fea-
ture of the trade All the basic col
ors are still to be had, but the price is

going together. We went together
about twice. The last time he brought
me home two other couples came too.
They kept telling him to hurry or he
would miss his car and he did not have
time to say much and did not make any
date. After awhile he started going
with another girl. He still speaks to
me and acts friendly Do you think it
would be all right to invite him to the
party?
