and We'll be so happy. We will coo
all day Iong-that is when we're not
eating and bathing and flying. And
sometimes we will coo even then"
Miss Gray Pigeon was very happy.
She was very much flattered and hon
ored too. For long time they sat on
the caves under the window and after
awhile Mr. Blue Pigeon said: "We
must get our wedding breakfast now.
Come! Coo, coo, coo, I'll look for it."
They flew down to the ground to-
gether And what should they see be-
fore them but regular feastl
Some children had left crumbs and
other delicious things that pigeons
love, on the ground They had seen the
pigeons and thought perhaps they
might be hungry.
'Iook!" said Miss Gray Pigeon.
"You have q surprise for me! Here
Is our wedding feast all ready!"
ST didn't do this" said Mr.. Blue
Pigeon very truthfully. 81 think some
lovely children did this for us. have
seen some children around here lately.
and they have seemed so friendly.
have been a little afraid of them but
am sure I will never feel afraid again"
From all around other pigeons joined
the wedding feast. ''This is our we'd
ding day." said Mr.. Blue Pigeon.
'That's why we are having feast"
And the pigeons all ate and nibbled
at the crumbs as if they had never had
such a feast before in all their lives.
Now when the children came back
they saw all the crumbs had gone, and
all the pigeons had flown away, except
Mr.. Blue Pigeon and Miss Gray Pig
con.
"Coo, coo, thank you, thank you,"
said Mr.. Blue Pigeon and Miss Gray
Pigeon.
''Nice pigeons, good pigeons" said
the children.
They were afraid that the pigeons
would fly off But not at all! They had
grown quite tame. And such friends
as they all becamel
Every morning the children gave the
pigeons food, and for some wonderful
reason, they couldn't understand-two
pigeons were especially tame, and
would let the children stroke their
soft heads while they said, "Coo, COO"
But the real reason was that Mr..
Blue Pigeon and Miss Gray Pigeon had
been given a wedding feast by the chill
dren and they showed their thanks by
being tame and by acting like real pets
for their devoted children friends.

PoLoNAIsE AGAIN IN STYLE
In Adaptation of Garment to Modern
Requirements Floating Panels at
Side Are Featured.

The polonaise is again in fashion.
This garment almost covered whatever
was worn beneath. 1t was as conceal
ing as the Greek tunic, the Roman
toga.
Possibly the struggles through which
Poland is going-unfortun Poland,
with her great genius and her greater
misery-have tempted the French to
reflect her present disaster in a cos
tune.
In the adaptation Of the polonaise
to modern requirements the floating
panels at the side are featured as the
main thing. Each designer has tried
them out in an individual manner.
Usually they are lined with a con-
trasting color and fabric. Old gold and
Chinese blue alternate with pearl and
slate gray as chosen Innings. When
the polonaise is of dark wine, red vel
vet or black, the lining is of cream or
dead white.

To one cupful of scalded milk add
three tablespoOnfuls of shortening,
half a teaspoonful of salt and table
spoonful of mOlasses; stir till the
shortening is melted and the liquid
lukewarm, then add a cake of COM
pressed yeast, softened in fourth of
q cupful of water, and one cupful and
a half of bran with as much bread
-four as can be conveniently mixed in
with a spoon. The dough should not
be mixed stiff enough to kneed. Mix
and cut and turn with a spoon or
knife, cover, and let it rise to become
light. When it is double its bulk, but
ter the fingers and pull off bits of the
dough, roll on n board and put into
bread stick pans. When very light
bake 10 minutes. Brush with the
white of an egg and return to the
oven to glaze.
Rhubarb Baked With Raisins.-Peel
the rhubarb unless very tender and
cut in half-inch slices. For a pound
of raisins use half cupful of raisins
and a cupful of sugar. Cover the
raisins with boiling water and let
cook until the water is evaporated to
three spoonfuls. Sprinkle with rhu-
barb, raisins and sugar in a baking
dish in layers and cook in the oven or
on top of the range until tender but
not broken.
Steamed Pudding Without EGGS
Mix together two cupfuls Of soft
crumbs, one cupful Of stoned raisins,

TO STENCIL PAPER SHADES
They Can Be Painted in Designs and
Stripes to Match General Deco
rative Scheme.

The girl who stencils will recognize
in her oiled stencil paper a possibility
for making one Of the new paper lamp
shades. The oiling of the board of
paper makes it translucent. They can
be painted in designs and stripes to
match the general decorative scheme.
Used in the natural old-gold color
they are equally lovely, especially If
the base of the lamp is of a solid
bright color.
Another way to treat the paper
shade is to paste cut-out designs from
cretonne on the paper and paint in the
background with black enamel thinned
out as much as possible. This method
makes the light shine through the col
ored designs and leaves the back
ground Opaque. Such a shade should
not be used, however, where there is
only one lamp in the room and where
plenty of light is needed.
A clever way of mellowing the light
from these more decidedly designed
paper shades is to cover the outside
with a layer Of delicate gauze in a
deep cream or rose color. This will
not interfere with the effect Of the de-
sign, but will prove to give a much
softer lighting effect than the plain
| shade.

This tweed suit is Veritable Louis
concerned, and is rendered more in
teresting by being effected in big
bold check. For general utility dark
pepper-and-salt rough tweed is the
choice that commends itself, with, for
the waistcoat and side pieces of the
skirt, gray and black plaid, over
checked with fine lines of powder
blue and yellow. The coat is cut on
severely straight lines, although the
adept tailor knows how to introduce
just suspicion of shapeIiness with
out detracting from the elongated eIe-
gance. A collar that is part of the
waistcoat plays a decorative part.

Corrugated Cement Roofing.

A new English factory product is as
bestos cement roofing, designed as
substitute for corrugated iron. Ground
asbestos and about six times as much
Portland cement are made into paste
with water, and this is rolled into
sheets on a large revolving drum. Cut
to suitable size, the sheets to be CORFU
gated are so pressed that the tops of
the corrugations are as strong as the
rest. After suitable seasoning, the
sheets are used for new roofing or re-
pairing the iron roofs, and are water
proof, fireproof and unaffected by an
acid-charged atmosphere.

TWO PIGEONS.

The day was very windy, and high
in the air two pigeons were flying.
One was a lovely blue one and the
other was blue and gray.
"Hello, coo-coo," said Mr.. Blue Pig
con-
"Hello, coo-coo," said Miss Gray
Pigeon. Although she was both blue
and gray she was always known as
Miss Gray Pigeon.
Don't go SO fast, coo-coo," said
Mr.. Blue Pigeon. ''Let me join you.
The wind almost carries us along. We
don't need to hurry so.''
Now Miss Gray Pigeon didn't really
want to hurry She was only pre-
tending she was in a great hurry. She
wanted Mr.. Blue Pigeon to follow her,
for she had long admired his blue
feathers and his collar of blue and
green which shone in the bright SUM-
light.
Lets sit on the caves under yonder
window" said Mr., Blue Pigeon, as he
caught up with Miss Gray Pigeon. II
have something 1 want to tell you"
Miss Gray Pigeon was all of a-f1utter.
What could Mr.. Blue Pigeon want to
say to her? She hoped-and yet she
hardly dared hope so much.
He was such a very handsome pig
con and though she was lovely herself,
still she didn't think she was nearly
so fine as Mr.. Blue Pigeon.
They settled down on the caves un-
der the window, and Mr.. Blue Pigeon
began to coo lovely little songs to herI
They were quite the sweetest songs
Miss Gray Pigeon had ever heard
though they were the same songs
which pigeons have sung to each other
for years and years-as many years.

means a great many years.

Pigeon had a beautiful soft voice.

ODD GIRDLES USED
Are Designed to Take the Place
of Draperies on Skirts.
Some of Them Closely Resemble Lit
tie Waistcoats Formerly Worn as
Suit Accompaniment.

In designing skirts for fall and
winter, plated and straight-line eff
fects are shown in far greater num-
ber than are the draped skirts. Vir-
tually the only kind of drapery fea-
tured consists of low placed loops on
either side, with the skirt proper mar
rowing to the hem.
Odd girdles and belts are designed
to take the place of draperies, and in
addition to the clever Spanish girdle
here shown, another is the "waist-
coat" girdle. This closely resembles
the little waistcoats that were shown
by some dress accessory designers
during the past season as suit accom-
paniments. OF course when designed
as part of a skirt it is attached
to and becomes a part of the skirt.
1t slopes up over each hip and is cut
in points in front. Frequently two
rows of buttons are set on to give
a double-breasted appearance, and
again a single row of buttons CEN
tering the front of the girdle aids in
the waistcoat stimulation.
The actual fastening of the girdle
is at one side. Usually it is equipped
with one or two tiny "change"
pockets.
Another odd and very attractive gir-
die shown on one side of the new
satin skirts is 6-inch wide section
of the fabric laid in very fine knife
plaits.
Rows of stitching hold it in the CEN
ter, and at the upper and lower edges
it flares. OF course a girdle Of this
kind could be worn becomingly only
by very slender woman, where line
rather than curve was the dominant
note.
Plaids and stripes are being used
extensively in the development of
