Can You Make a Cherry Pie?

In a good old-fashioned. rolicking
sort of song that describes a high
handed. thoroughgoing housewife. do
you remember the lines that tell us
that "she can make cherry pie. in the
twinkling Of an eye? Whether you
remember the rest Of the song or not.
you have no doubt often wished that
you could make the sort of cherry pie
that inspired that line.
From the robins point of view, no
doubt. cherries were invented for the
sole purpose of offering them snug
little nibbles of luscious sweetness. To
the beauty lover they were planted
first in the garden of Eden in order to
boy they were given to schoolboys in
order to be picked from the neighbors'
orcha cherries always
being infinitely sweeter than your own.
But to- the lover Of good eats" the
world over cherries were made to make
cherry pies.
Here is the way mother used to
make them" and modern cooking school
methods are not bit better-in fact,
not half 50 good. Take deep earthen

the pie crust and. moistening the outer

the edge. pressing it into place. Now
mix a half cup Of sugar with a table
spoon of -four and dust this evenly
over the dough in the dish. Take an
ice-cold pat of butter and cut it into
small bits and dot the dish with these
bits of butter.
In the meantime, the cherries should
be stoned. drained and rolled in gran

cover over them a thin top crust that

BiIIV Mink Has a Secret.
A secret Is the incest thing
Providing 1t be good;
And sometimes it's the hardest work
To keep it as you should.


In fact. the nicer the secret the harder
you think so much about it that you
want to talk about it. or If you don't
want to talk about it you forget and
do talk about it. Or, if you do manage
to keep still about it you are apt to be
very mysterious and folks guess right
away that You have a secret and then
try to find it out.
Billy Mink is one who knows how
to keep a secret. You see. Billy is very
clever and cunning and has the very
sharpest of wits So when he has a
secret he usually is able to keep it. II
any of his neighbors should discover il
you may be pretty sure that it will
prove to be quite accidental. That Billy
had little brown wife was. of course
no secret. Mrs. Billy had been seer
with him too often for that. That some.
where they had a home was no secret
Everybody has home. At least every
body does in the spring of the year
So no one doubted that Billy and Mrs
Billy had home. But just where that
home was no one knew. That was a
secret.
A great many would have liked tc
dicoyer that secret If for nothing more
than the sake of feeling that they were
just as smart as Billy Mink and per-
haps a little smarter. But though Billy
was watched and Mrs. Billy was
watched, no one got the slightest
idea where that home was. Peter Rabbit
would be ashamed to tell you how
much time he wasted watching Billy
Mink just out of curiosity to- know
where that home was. But it was quite
useless Peter never returned to the
dear Old Brier Patch one bit the wiser.
Whether that home was up the Laugh
ing Brook or down the Laughing brook

they may be merely velour sport nats
or soft felt hats for travelling or Neifet
hats for garden parties. The truth OF
the matter is that we have grown
weary of the straws and welcome the
novelty of again seeing hats OF 1eits,
velvets, wool velours and other heavier
fabrics.
One smart shop recently had a show

warm. as far as feelings are concerned.
these hats are sure to look especially
fetching for summer sports. and many
a young woman will buy one of these
severely trimmed velour hats rather
than a garden-party hat Of light straw
and artificial flowers. once regarded as
the only suitable midsummer hat for
women.

The Lavish Chiffon Veil.

The milliners have not adopted the
exact drapery which is prescribed for
tho nurses OF the Red Cross. This
drapsry. as you well know. drops from
the side Of the hat over the shoulders.
The veil which is adopted by the
mfliiners is more frequently seen in
England than in America. 1t is not
quite as becoming as the regulation
bit of drapery. but it is used in a most
coquettish manner by the girls who
have adopted it.

OF Interest TO Women
IDEAS FROM UNIFORM OF RED CROSS NURSE
By ANNE R1TTENHousE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. June 23-After a NOR tn
Of the Wat in Paris. the temptation to
wear a red cross or a brassard Of some
government had to take action.
On the part OF the women who were
not in service the adoption OF the
hfAssard was too often a piece OF self
tshness.
Every woman wanted to be consld-
cred . worker in the vineyard Of the
war. ana. therefore. she adopted the
red cross as an ornament until the
government snatched It from her.
Wrong Use Of Symbol.
Tho most contemptuous word that the
french =, can can apply to man n In these
which IL a combination Of our words
dlAcker, deserter and anti-war.
France has been the nation to think
out more forms of opprobrium that are
used instead Of oaths than any country
IN the world. She can throw moro con-
tempt into the phrase "son of a genera
tion Of monkeys" than an Anglo-Saxon
can get into a string of epithets such
as abound in the English language.
The Americans have been beating
the air in vain for a word with more
contempt in it than Stacker. but the
French hit unon 1t instantly in their
biting. singing word "embusaue."
France had trouble with men who
did not want to fight. but who did not
want to be considered contemplate
These men put brassards about their
arms and made all kinds Of excuses for
their presence in France when they
should have been Ia bas. as the French
call the fighting front.
The cap of the Red Cross nurse is
the bit Of vanity that is offered to the
woman who Is looking for something
o11faida Of }ha commonnlace in her
millinery. Undoubtedly she will not
be able to wear it long: the govern
ment win stretch out its long arm to
pull II in.
In the meantime. there is no posi-
BILE way to deny that the Red Cross
turban Is the most becoming hat that
the majority of young women have
exploited.
