cup and then poured into their morning drink.

whether she preferred bread with or without

Effective Schemes.

Fur is frequently introduced as a
trimming detail, and several effective
schemes are being carried out with
a combination of crepe and skunk. a
charming example is a blouse Of the
palest pale-pink chiffon with yelled
fine ivory shadow lace arranged to fall
in a little basque movement over a
deep bell of black panne, tiny black
dots trimming the V-shaped neck OPEN
ing and sleeves, which are furthermore
adorned by ruffies of fine net. The
distinctive feature is little bolera
of old gold mousseline de sole, the
edges bordered by a finger depth of
skunk fur, the fronts just caught to-
gether by a cameo brooch.

There is a great lack of rain even
after the desert boundary is passed,
and from the agriculturist's stand
point hard times have frequently
been endured. With the exception of
the diamond fields of Luderitzbucht,
the country has failed to produce the
predicted wealth, and disappointment
has been the lot of prospector and col
onist. The diamonds, small amount
of copper and some marbles from
Karibib form the exports, otherwise
everything for the country's use has
to be imported. One changes at Kar-

Baked Apple Dumpiings.

Select tart apples, pare and core
them and cut in quarters. Three large
apples should make six dumplings.
The dough is made as follows: Two
and a half cupfuls of flour, one heap
ing teaspoonful of baking powder and
one teaspoonful of salt. Sift these in-
gradients together. Rub two-thirds
cup of lard into the flour and mix
with enough cold water to make a
dough which can be easily handled.
Divide the dough in six parts and roll
each part out large enough to hold
the apples. When the dough is rolled,
put the apples in the center and fold
the dough over it, pinching the ends
together. Bake in shallow buttered
dish in a moderate oven and serve
with cream and sugar.

quite so popular as the bobbed hair,
