Graham Cookies-Cream two cupfulS
of brown sugar with one cupful of
shortening, add n egg, one cupful Of
buttermilk, a te%aspoonful of soda, and
a little salt. Add enough graham
flour to make a soft dough, roll and

When making drop cookies, using
fruit, a small amount of any preserved
fruit may be added to advantage. For
example, a spoonful of canned berries,
cherries or pineapple. Dry it a little
SO the moisture will not cause the
cakes to fall.
Date and Nut Cakes.-Cream a half
cupful of shortening with a cupful of
sugar. Add two eggs well beaten, q
half cupful of sour cream and a fourth
of a teaspoOnful of soda. Stir a half
cupful of chopped nuts and dates into
one and three-fourths cupfuls of flour
and mix them all together. A little
spice or just q little grated nutmeg
gives a good flavor. Bake in small
buttered muffin tins and frost with
chocolate icing, or half of them with
white frosting.

chopped beef, salt, pepper, celery salt,
one small onion finely chopped, all well
mixed and baked until the rice is well

bits Of chicken or other meat well
cooked and seasoned in a dish on a
layer of thinly sliced potatoes or on
half cooked rice, sprinkle with chop

are well cooked.
Fig and Raisin Pudding.-Soak one
cupful of bread crumbs in one cupful
of milk for One hour; stir into them
three eggs beaten light, threee table
spoOnfuls of chopped suet and three
tablespoOnfuls of flour sifted with one

the mixture into a large pudding mold
with a closely fitting top leaving room
for the pudding to swell. Steam for
three hours. Turn from the mold and

serve with liquid sauce.
Grape Nut Pudding.-Dissolve a
package of lemon gelatin of any brand,
add a cupful of steamed r~aisins, a half
cupful of sugar, six walnut meats cut
fine and a cupful of grape nuts or
macaroOn crumbs will be fully as good,
or crumbs of cake. Mix all together

with any desired dressing and use as

A black satin dinner frock, for in

that focused the attention. But the
effect of economy was there.
The majority of women think that
any undue display Of apparel is in
bad taste. They feel that the amount
of money they pay for their clothes
is q private and personal matter but
that any visible and outward display
of the high cost of the gown is a
public matter, and one that the public
has a right to criticize.
The question of food is handled in
much the same way. If you have
been to anyone of the three-course din
ners given by the rich wOmen of the
country, you may have had to go home
and take soda mint to forestall indiges-
ton.
There are three courses; against that
there is no discussion. The quantity
of food that can be put into three
courses forms the interesting part of

is not expensive and it is not elaborate
ly prepared. The effect on the one
who dimes is that the inner man is
satisfied with nourishing food perfect
ly cooked.
Onions and potatoes may cost a
good deal; rice may have gone up In
price chops may be much higher than
mushrooms with a French sauce; but
who can gainsay the effect Of severe
simplicity in the serving of this type
of food?
Just what the women who serve
three courses have done to their cook
cry is what the women of wealth
have done to their clothes.
See Effect of Economy.
After the first hysteria Of wal econ
omy was over, ONE saw its foolish
ness in regard to apparel. A few facts
suficed to give them a different atti,
tude.
When several dozen seamstresses
had their engagements Cancelled for
the spring season and were at their
wits end to know how to nav the
rent and get food, the women who en-
gagged these seamstresses to come tC
their houses each season, quickly saw
that it was better to pay wages than
to give to charity.
When hundreds of gowns were
thrown back on dressmakers' hands
on the plea that there would be NJ
money to pay for such extravaganza
and the dressmakers were compelled
TO hold sweeping sales that under
valued whatever clothes the rich won
en- had already bought, a new idet
concerning economy was born in thu
brains of wealthy women.
The second movement on the par
of masses Of women was then direct
ed toward providing money for thos,
who worked. and at the same tlm'
eliminating the appearance of waste
and extravaganza.
The san idea worked well in boil
directions; 1t kept the workers EN-

SIMPLICITY IN CLOTHES SOUGHT

ployed and gave them sufficient money
on which to live; and it did not Of
fend the public. No one wants to ap-
pear frivolous or unthinking in a crisis
like this. When women are dressed in
gold or silver, in jeweled trappings
and in precious gems, that vast pub
lie that is thinking only of how to
live and how to sacrifice, might begin
to murmur those terrible sentences of
the French people in the revolution.
1t is the appearance of extrava-
gance, therefore, that women should
avoid in these times of stress. Let
them spend as literally for apparel
as they can afford, but let all women
follow the lead Of the wealthy and
conservative set and see to 1t that their
clothes reflect this great hour in dig
nifty, seriousness and simplicity.
1t is interesting to know that Ger
many is the first of the belligerents
to put q restriction on the amount of
wearing apparel for each person. The
imperial clothing office has fixed the
amount of garments that each man
or woman may buy or possess during
the year. This office also limits the
amount Of material which may be used
in the making of q gown or a suit.
No one may purchase a yard of ma
terial or a single garment without a
special permit.
1t is also interesting to know what
Imperial Germany thinks is sufficient
in the way of clothing for one wOm-
an-two everyday frocks, one Sun
day frock, one separate skirt, two
blouses, one coat or cape, one shawl,
one dressing gown, three aprons, n
pair of gloves, a half dozen handker-
chiefs, four chemises, three night
gowns, three combinations or bloom
ers, three petticoats and four pairs Of
stockings.
Clothes That Appear Well.
1T is the comment of all dress
makers that they are compelled to
sell gay clothes at half the price of
solemn ones. This should be a guide
to all those who are preparing to
plan the summer wardrobe.
There is no idea of substituting
black for all cOlOrs, as there was in
France at the beginning of the war,
for we're not facing an invading army
and burying masses of our dead. YET,
women are choosing frocks with only
a bit of white, or Chinese brocade, to
enliven them and beige, sand, white
and dull plaids are preferred to red,
blue, green and purple.
The m who may have chosen
a cloth of gold brown with a tunic
over 1t for last summer, will today
choose a frock of white satin with a
bit of black tulle at neck and arms,
and a girdle of ribbon velvet with q
rhinestone buckle. She may pay as
much for the n as for the other,
but she takes her place in the world
with more dignity in the latter than
in the former frock.
Women dine and dance at reStau-
rants as much as they did last sea
son, but instead of choosing the ex.
cessively decOllete gowns that have
been fashionable, they prefer to be
seen in frocks of silk and tulle, or
lace, that are high at the back and
transparent, and have long, transpar.
ent sleeves.
There is a woman who pays $25
apiece for her Bingham frocks made
at an excellent house, and for that
high price she could get satin or EN-.
