MANY WAYS OF GARNlSHING
Hostess viii Find II Easy to Select
Method of Improving Appearance
of Dishes Served.

For garnishing meats, frltters OF
vegetables are delectabie and potato
cakes and croquettes fried golden
brown in deep fat are also used in the
same way.
If you want color on the fish plat
ter to go with the vegetables, bright
red pimentos furnish ii. can of
these will last all winter, as only
little Is needed. When you have
opened the can use what you need and
then remove the remainder to glass
jar and cover with cold olive oil and
they will not spoil.
Tomato is also bright garnish and
is liked nodded in aspic, but the olives
that you buy ready stuffed with pimo-
las lend themselves to decoration
readily. Slice them across the
stuffing and you have little green rings
with red centers that improve a salad
in jiffy.
Mashed potatoes can be formed into
baskets and baked so they hold their
shape, and rice may be mixed with but
ter and chilled to form holder for va
rious foods, but these fancies are diff
cult to carry out and are not worth
while. Anything that indicates that a
great amount of unnecessary trouble
has been spent displeases thoughtful
persons and is apt to be absurd. ITO
know when to stop is to know a whole
lot" Mark Twain made one of his
characters declare, and this applies to
garnishing as well as to other things.

Cheap Substitute for LinoIeum.

An inexpensive and sanitary sub
stitute for linoleum can easily he
made by pasting together three sheets
of brown paper used for wrapping up
goods. After thoroughly cleaning the
floor a sheet of the paper should be
pasted down and allowed to dry. Then
a second sheet is laid down and al
lowed to dry before laying a third
sheet. If a pattern floor covering is
desired. ordinary wallpaper serves the
purpose admirably. 1t is pasted to
the top sheet of brown paper already
laid. The whole, being thoroughly dry,
coat of sizing is applied and left to
set, after which coat of good var
nish completes the process. This floor
covering has all the advantages of real
linoleum and may be washed and pol
ished in the usual way.

eET-ToGETHER MEETING AT THE
SPRINGS.

On Wednesday of last week, at
Colorado Springs, the presiding elder
OF the Rocky Mountain district called
together a group of nearby pastors
and Christian workers and formulated
plans for the district conference and
| Sunday school and league convention
to be held June 6-10 at Cheyenne.
Wyo. The gathering, as planned, will
take on largely the aspect of a school
of methods in which concrete demon
strations in the various departments
of the Bible school will be given.
Wide-awake singing is to be a feature
of the convention. An experienced di
rector has been given full charge of
the music. Among those who at
tended were: Rev. R. L. Pope and C.
A. Williams and Mrs. Fannie Brown
of Denver, Rev. r. H. Harbert of Pu-
eblo, Rev. and Mrs. j. B. Isaacs; Mes
danes l.. M. Gudgel, Maggie S. Car
ter, E. b. Butler, Lizzie Watson, NJ.
Manley and other of Colorado
Springs. The meeting was wondrous-
ly agreeable, the responsibility for
which rests upon the shoulders of
Rev. Isaacs, the pastor, and Mrs.
Gudgel, the district superintendent
and their committee, who served a
most delicious turkey dinner.

Freight CLAIMS PAID
PROMPTLY SAYS HARLAN
Member Of Interstate Commerce Com
mission Praises The Railroads.
NOCAUsE FORJUsTCRITICIsM
Mr.. Harlan Tells Freight Claim Asso-
citation of Surprise of Commission
at Excellent Showing as to
Prompt Payments

Washington, d. C.-(Special.) ,
Where the claims of shippers against
railroads are well founded they are
paid promptly, declared Commissioner
James s. Harlan of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to the mem
bers of the Freight Claim Association
In an address in which he told of an
investigation made by the Commission
and the surprise Of its members at
the excellent showing as to prompt
payments made by the railroads.
Before taking my seat" said Mr..
Harlan, II wish to make very frank
confession. During the course of my
ten years service on the Commission
so many complaints had come to me
of the delay in the payment by car
riers of the claims of shippers that
/ had come to think that the matter
of claim adjustments was very weak
spot in our railroad administration.
was, therefore, particularly interest
ed in the suggestion that interroga-
tons should be addressed by the COM
mission to the carriers for the purpose
of ascertaining, among other things,
the length of time taken by them in
settling the claims of shippers.
"The results that were tabulated by
the commission on the answers return
ed by the carriers about a year ago
were so surprising to me and to my
colleagues and were considered by US
of such importance that we at once re-
ported the facts to the Congress as
useful public information. l wish to
congratulate the association on the
showing made.
The trouble with us was that we
had made no distinction between
claims that had been declined or that
were without merit and therefore still
pending, and claims that were well
founded and had been promptly ad-
justed
1.-THE shipping public should know
that instead of being weak spot in
the railroad service, the work of your
association has been so systematized
as practically to eliminate all reason
able and fair criticism"

designers say. Polka dotted foulards
are also extremely popular and tus-
sors are not far behind in the run
ming. Red, pink and crystal beads
will be extensively used for trimming.
The new ball gowns, evening and
dinner gowns will sweep clean this
year-that is if the wearers are not
careful to hold them off the floor.
Again, an expert might say of the
new evening directories: The skirt is
long and narrow 1t splits three or
four inches up the cias seam.
Msnnequins wearing these before
the American buyers today, seemed to
have stepped out of the fashion books
Of five years ago. The skirt Grapes
the floor an inch all-around and
trains out behind. Jet crystals and
fine laces are the newest things in
trimmings. The most popular of the
new directoire models is declared by
the Americans to be that of black
satin with blue and black crystal
fringe hanging panel-like at the sides
TO the knees.

DIRECTOIRE GOWN
HEADED TO GOTHAM
BY WILBUR s. FORREST.

PARIS, March 13.-The directoire
gown has come back. 1t is in Paris
today. Soon it will be in New York
and little later it probably will be
all over the United States.
The new directoire, however, the
famous Paris designers decree, may
be used only for dinner and evening
gowns. For the street it is taboo ana
must give way to ''pegtops."
American buyers who have brayed
the ocean voyage to Paris are paying
hard American dollars here today for
1917 dress models. War permitting,
the buyers and models will soon be
back in the United States distating
what is proper for American women
folks to wear,
When the United States correspond
ent dropped in at a famous Paris
showroom today, the American buy
ers, the directoire. pegtops and many
other new creations were there. 1t
fill hardly be such lavish display Oh
feminine ankle on American streets
this spring and summer. Nevertheless
the new frocks will hang about seven
inches from terra firma. An expert
might describe waist-line or draped
in folds or loops over the hips and
tapering to very narrow skirt at the
bottom. The Peg" effect is arranged
by the fullness at the top buttoning
into a pleat or two at the hem.
A red cloth short coat with a grey
peg" skirt is perfectly proper for
the future. Red trimmed buttons may
hold the side fullness to the narrow
width at the bottom. Many OF the
new models have coats and skirts Of
various and different colors. Knitted
silk jersey is a popular material. the
