Quitting the girl graduate for the
closing OF her school days and for her
summertime occupations will certainly
include providing her with one pretty
frock of taffeta. There is no end to
the variety in dresses of this kind, but
among them all none more suited to
young girl could be found than the
simple, cool-looking and graceful
model which is shown in the picture.
The straight-hanging skirt is merely
four lengths of the silk stitched to-
gether and hemmed. 1t is gathered
with narrow waistband. Two bands
of taffeta, about four inches wide, are
cut on the straight of the goods and
edged with narrow ruffie OF the silk.
This edging Is set on to the band
with small piping and is cut on the
bias of the silk.
A plain underbodice OF chiffon or
crepe has long easy-fitting coat
sleeves. The skeleton overbodice is
narrowed at the back and front ex-

back is joined to the front pieces. 1t

belt at the front. There is a wide
crushed girdle of the silk, and

two rounded ends is made of 1t also.

AMERIcANIsM AT ITS BEST
Grand Army's Return to Peace at the
Close Of the Civil War Was .
Notable Event.

The adaptability and the restraint of
the American character were never
shown better than In the events that
followed the end Of the Civil war. A
trained army did not make America
pugnacious. The citizen soldiers
worked as well as they had fought.
And one foreign power that turned as
piring eyes toward western domain
gave up the dream because of them
confession made years later by a man
who realized the strength Of this coun-
try's position in having a large body Of
men skilled In the arts OF war and
strong In loyalty. The country, at the
time, realized deep sentiment of the
occasion which found apt expression
in an article in Harper's Weekly.
1T is fitting" said the writer, that
when the work had all been done our
soldiers, who had borne the burden,
should, as they return bringing peace
back with them receive in return some
token Of the popular appreciation of
their services. 1t was no ordinary
pageant that turned all the peoples
eyes toward Washington. 1t
was no mere idle curiosity, but deep,
glorious. solemn sentiment. This senti-
nnent was one of pride mingled with
infinite pathos- pride in the youthful
strength OF a republic tried and found
steadfast-pathos from the remem-
brance Of countless heroes who have
received their crowns not from mortal
hands nor on mortal brows, who died,
many Of them, while the strife seemed
yet uncertain.
May the time never come when
these armed men shall be called again
to enter the field against any foe,
whether domestic or foreign! The
God Of Battles has granted the nation
victory. Let us all pray that he for
many generations grant that we may
live in peace and quietness!
Bret Harte was inspired by the
grand review to write a great poem,
"A Second Review Of the Grand
Army" He refers to spectral figure
that reviewed phantom army Of the
men who had fallen in the great con-
f1ict. The "well-Known form that In
state and field had led our patriot
sires" referred to the spirit Of Wash
ington. A statue of Washington was
in front Of the capitol at the time, but
has since been removed.

proper place in food values they will
no doubt continue to be wasted in
cooking.
The failure of getting good results
from vegetable food may be with the
selection, for vegetables out of season
are neither economical nor satisfac-
tory; the flavor is usually in inverse
ratio to the cost. The best of cook
ing and seasoning cannot supply the
lack of flavor.
Vegetables may be crisp and fresh
when brought from the market, but
by careless handling are wilted and
spoiled.
In the cooking of vegetables there
are few things to remember, first
to retain all the mineral matter and
nutriment possible, to soften the cellu-
lose and to develop the flavor, making
them more palatable
Spinach cooked properly should be
well washed and cooked without the
addition of water or very little. This
vegetable being rich in iron which is
soluble in water, may by being cooked
in large amOunt of water be nearly
valueless as food. This is true of
satisfy, green peas and beans. or, in
fact, any of the delicately favored,
succulent vegetables. The season
ing is another important item; the fla
vor should never be disguised by sea-
soning Usually butter. pepper and
SALT not too much, is the best be-
cause it is the plainest.
To accomplish these results one
may use several methods; cook the
vegetable whole or in large pieces, to
cook with the skin on when possible,
to cook in as small an amount of wa
ter as possible without burning, to
serve the water in sauce with the
vegetable whenever possible, and to
season after the vegetable has start
ed cooking so that the salt does not
draw out the favor

All Are Heroes.

Heroes are they who respond to
the nations need"
Our nation has never asked for men
in vain. With Spartan bravery moth
ers give their sons, wives their hus-
bands and maidens their sweethearts
when the country calls. Many OF them
will never return. Others will come
back to lay their diseased and broken
frames beside the hearths of their
youth. Some as by divine protection
seem to have enchanted lives and re-
turn as strong as when they left. They
all are heroes II they have felt the
thrill OF sacrince and never hesitated
in the face Of duty.

cooked food of sufficient variety to
conform to the age and health OF the
child is important enough for each
mother to give time and study to her
child's needs.
Broths of various kinds. as well as
purees of vegetables are good dishes
