They are square and are buttoned
down with n single button to the dress.
A cape collar among many cape col
lars, becomes Immediately interesting
when its designer thinks of making
slashes in it. This one Is of soft
pique and black velvet ribbon is run
through the slashes, forming ties that
hold the collar up about the neck.
This idea Is so good that it bears rep
etition in the turn-back cuffs also laced
through slashes with ribbon.
1t takes just these touches TO make
us concede that this ley model is en-
titled to be called n dress. Taking it
all in all it will prove very useful for
wear instead of n suit.
Fashion Is eliminating distances and
the Chinese seem not remote since we
have been borrowing hat styles from
them. The wal in Europe has brought
the art of China and Japan, in rugs
and furniture, in chinaware and in ap-
parel more forcibly to our notice than
it has ever been before.
Two lovely models, inspired by the
cOolie hat. and a turban, shown in the
group above are replicas of originals

Just where and how far the design
ers Of wOmen's clothes are going in
their strivings for something new, nc
n knows, but they are on their way.
To prove it, here Is Il new cOat-dress
which we can easily forgive for keep
Ing us guessing as to whether it is a
dress or not, because it is so pretty
and so full Of style. There Is provo
cation for Il quarrel as to whether it Is
rightly called n dress or not, but its
designers have so named it and we
will take their word for it.
1t is made of one of the new weaves
In silk in a heavy crepe effect and
hangs straight from shoulder to hem.
There Is no definition Of the waist
line, but lest its lines depart from
their straight and narrow way, a belt
of the material holds them so that
they cannot flow outward. The belt
crosses ut the front and fastens to the
body Of the dress ut each side. All
the way down the front pearl buttons
attend strictly to the business of max
ing the straightness of the frock
emphatic.
Everything has real pockets this
spring, and this dress is provided with
n at each side in the style of n coat.

Hay in Church,

A curious custom has been OBJ
served from time immemOrial at Old
Weston, Huntingdonshire, In England.
The church there Is dedicated to st.
Swithin, and on the Sunday most near
ly approaching st. Swithin's day the
edifice is strewn with new-mOwn hay.
The tradition is that an old lady
bequeathed a field for charitable pur-
poses, on condition that the tenant
provide the hay, to lessen the annoy
ance caused by the %squeaking of the
new shoes wor by the villagers on
Feast Sunday. There are other ex
planatiOns-one that it is an offering
of the first fruits of the hay harvest,
and another that 1t is a survival of
the customs of strewing the church
(when the floor was only beaten
sarth) with rushes.

milk differs, there can be no fast rule
for addition of soda, usually a half tea
spoonful to a cupful of milk Is suffi-
Gent. When In doubt add a bit Of bak-
Ing powder to help in the rising.
Sour cream may be used in place of
butter for cakes and various dough
mixtures, the amounts varying accord

then drain through a bag and let stand
overnight. Season well with cream,
salt and a bit of red pepper, mixing 1t

fuls of sOftened butter to a cupful Of

The education of the will is really

COMPROMISE With Stupiditv.

The public mind is nearly always
slow working. The deliberations of a
body of men must usually wait upon
the intelligence of its least intelligent
member. and the final result of such
elaboration will ordinarily be closer
to the mentality of the stupidest men,
Der of the conference than that of
the most intelligent. Intelligence must
compromise with stupidity. The broad
minded must compromise with the big
oted. Stupidity and bigotry are near
ly always reflected in public opinion
