Lost, Frightened and Alone.

II ever You feel you don't want to obey,
Remember what happened to Chubby the day
She disobeyed mother and left her nice home
From foolish desire the Great World to roam.
Chubby, the fattest of the four children
of Reddy Fox, was lost. She had dis
obeyed by going beyond sight of home
while her mother and father were away
hunting. She hadn't meant to go more
than a few steps beyond sight of home.
steps and those to still more, because
always just ahead were such interesting
things to see and smell. And then at last,
when she had grown SO tired that she had
to sit down to rest she discovered that
she hadn't the least idea where home was.
She was lost. There was no doubt about
it. she was lost. You see, she hadn't come
in a straight line If she had all she
would need to do now would be to turn
around and go straight back. But she
had wandered this way and wandered
that way, wherever her eyes or her nose
discovered something she wanted to know
about, and now she hadn't the least idea
where home was.
OF all dreadful feelings one of the most
dreadful is the feeling Of being lost and
OF not knowing which way to go or what
to do. 1t is bad enough when there is
some one with you, but when you are all
alone it is ever so much worse. And
Chubby was alone, very much alone.
Now the thing to do when you discover
that you are lost is to sit down and try
to be calm. When you know that others
will soon be looking for you it often is best
to stay right where you are. But people
who are lost seldom do these things. They
lose their heads. That is, they become so
frightened and excited that they stare
right on again trying to find their way
home and usually getting more lost 1t
was just so with Chubby The instant she

may be well to advise that a black vel
vet coat must be correctly cut and
well tailored IL 1t is to be really smart.
The coat here shown is of fine light
weight black velvet, loosely belted in
at the waist. the belt fastened with a
silver buckle. White kid collar and
pocket laps are used, and the kid may
also be used for the cuffs. These may
be detachable, SO frequent freshening
up is possible. If preferred, detachable
collar. cuffs and pocket laps Of pique
or heavy linen may be used.
The touch of white at the neck is
strongly recommended whether or not
this white note is carried out in cuffs
and pocket laps.
The coat may be buttoned and trim
med with large white pearl buttons, or
metal buttons matching the buckle at
the belt may be used If preferred.
Undoubtedly some black velvet coats
touched up with high co1ored collar,
cuffs. etc, will be seen: but the black
and white color scheme is decidedly the
smartest.
To make this little coat three and a
half yards of velvet thirty-six inches
wide will be required.
A light weight lining Of silk should
be used. preferably of white.

EAT CORNMEAL DISHES
AND BE PATRIOTIC
Corn Dodgers.

Many persons not bred in the ways
of southern kitchen feel that corn
dodgers are too difficult for an anna
teur to attempt. There are others, no
doubt. who feel that dodgers are not
as wholesome as they might be. But
really there is nothing unsurmount-
ably difficult about making them or
any process in their cooking that can
not be accomplished in anybody's
Kitchen. AS for being unwholesome-
they might not be good for a GONZALES
cent or an invalid, but then the same
might be said of many. dish upon
which well persons thrive and stay
young.
Here is good old-fashioned recipe
for them:
Mix together a pint of cornmeal
preferably the white meaD and a
half teaspoonful of salt. Now add slow
ly enough cream or rich milk to make
good dodger batter. That is about as
near to the amount as the southern
cook will give, for she would usually
scorn the measuring cup and has a
wonderful knack at guessing accurate
ly. The batter really ought to be of
the consistency of muffin batter. Now
have ready griddle. creased and
sprinkled with cornmeal. Lay the bat
ter on the griddle in spoonfuls and
cook until crisp. 1t is usually better
to test the batter with a small spoon
full to begin with. The matter of max
ing it thinner is easy, as more cream
or milk can be added at any time.

Johnny Cake.

This rule has the advantage that the
dodger recipe has in requiring no eggs
and the added advantage of calling for
no milk either. To make it properly
YOU should have a fresh board-a nice
molding board will answer the pur-
pose The receipt calls for a quart of
the meal and about pint of warm wa
ter in which has been dissolved a tea
spoonful of salt. Add the water little
at a time, stirring till the batter is
light. The old-fashioned way was to
place the board almost upright before
the fire and let it bake that way. 1t is
possible. however, to get fairly good
results even in gas stove oven. This
Johnny cake is usually well buttered
before being served.

Spoon Cornbread.

Spoon corn bread gets it's name from
the fact that it must be served with a
spoon from the dish in which it is
cooked. 1t is economical. 1t calls for
cupful of .cornmeal, two cupfuls of
sour milk. in little of which half a
teaspoonful Of soda is dissolved; ta-
biespoonful of sugar, a teaspoonful of
salt. two eggs well oeaten and lard the
size of an egg, melted. Mix the ingre-
dients together in the order mentioned
and beat hard for three minutes. Then
pour into a creased earthen dish and
bake for half an hour in a medium
oven. This bread should be eaten hot
with butter

OF Interest TO Women
SIMPLE DESIGNS IN sOUTACHE.
BY ANNE R1TTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, May 26.-Nearly every
form of needlework known Is in de-
mand this season. Both expert ana
amateur work are seen side by slde.
The woman who knows how to do en-
broidery is taking up her leisure time
putting patches of it on afternoon and
evening gowns and on blouses, and the
tailois and dressmakers who want TO
augm ent the price of their clothes are
paying experts to cover as much OF the
surface as possible with an outlay OF
needlework.
There are obstacles to all this lavish
display of different kinds of embroid-
cry. one of which is the price, another
the time. 1t is not possible to deliver
q gown speedily if 1t is to be trim
med with an elaborate design of en-
broidery in floss or metal threads. and
1t is not possible for more than a third
OF the women to pay for the skill that
such work involves.
Even over in France, where many
of the embroiderers work for twenty
cents an hour with needles that fly in
and out of the cloth like machinery,
the dressmakers there seem to think
that a high addition to the price of
gown should be made because of the
mere fact that it contains such neeuie-
work.

Where Soutache Is Used.

Not only in America, but in France,
there is a strong disposition to sub
stitute soutache for embroidery. 1t
cannot be used on all kinds of frocks.
but it does very well on fabrics that
heretofore have been immune from it.
Once upon a time we thought of it
only in connection with heavy cloth,
but today it is put on voile. chiffon and
handkerchief linen.
There are many artists in the line
of dressmaking who insist that the ap-
plication of soutache gives a more
marked effect of primitive workman
ship than embroidery. We are in a
season of primitive adaptations, such
as Peruvian, Aztec and Indian work.
manship. and the soutache lends itself
to squares and triangles, long lines and
circles that are called for by this kind
of designing.
Again, it is used where chain stitch
ing is not possible because of the ex-
pense or the time it takes. Several of
the new models in short packets that
are literally covered with intricate de-
signs done by machine stitching, have
the soutache braid substituted, and to
many minds the effect is better, for
1T is more pronounced and less subtle.

Looks Well on Coats,

The topcoats of the hour have taken
soutache to themselves as though it
were their special property. The MAX
ers of these garments find that the use
of a few yards of this kind of braid,
dyed to match the fabric or used to
form a color scheme, is an easy and
emphatic way of getting good orna-
mentation.
The utility coat which is sketched
today, for instance. has the soutache
played upon it in a remarkably good
way. The material is beige gabardine,
with fine twill. and there is deep
cape collar of marine blue satin. The
