COVERT COAT HERE AGAIN

Here it is again., almost exactly like what it used to be a dozen years or so ago when covert coats were the ne plus ultra of spring smartness! Here it is, in the attractive light tan covert color, with smooth, crisp lines and seams emphasized by bias strap pings of the material-just a replica of the coat one possessed, and took such comfort in years and years ago. At least that is what one thinks when the saIeswoman brings it out and as- sures her it is the. very latest thing from Paris, launched a few weeks ago by Martial ct Armand, and sensation of the sring openings. But when she puts the coat on she realizes that her silhoutte does not look at all like that siuhoutte, of yore covert-coated.
 Then one had pronounced curves "a bust and hips. None of these are mo- ticeable in the new Paris-inspired CO., vert top coat. It's lines are slim and svelt with a beautiful f1atness down the back and over the bust, and it has the same pleasent crispness and freshness of suggestion that made it so admirable a garment for spring wear, when it was in fashion years ago. Small doubt that the covert top coat will find immediate favor when it has really established itself as a spring offair.

SAVE WHEAT

At no time during the war has the importance of wheat been greater than at this moment. Every ounce of saved wheat is a contribution to the allied fighting forces. Never be- fore has it been so possible for the civilian to lend such direct and vital aid to his cause.
 Direct orders for the family should be formulated by every patriotic housekeeper. In place of bread for dinner she should demand of her household that they eat more potatoes or-for variety-rice, as a vegetable, or honiny grits.
 Breakfast should begin the day not by the breaking of bread but by the serving of oatmeal, cornmeal mush, or prepared non-wheat products. And the housewife must serve these break fast cereals not apart from the eggs or coffee, but with them, so that the lack of bread will be met quite ob- viousiy.
 At luncheon, any bread served should be quite wheatless, and if po- tatoes are served, bread can be easily omitted.
 These are only a few of the ways that can be found by the housekeeper who wants to eliminate wheat entire ly from her menu, and so make a high contribution to cause and coun- fY-U

RICE FOR INVALIDS

Rice is the very best food for the ordinary invalid, and good health is attributed to the frequent eating of rice and abstaining from meat The Chinese have learned the art of mak- ing rice palatable by cooking it in many ways and combining it with meats, fruits and vegetables. It is recognized everywhere as one of the most digestible of foods.
 Comparing rice with other foods it has been found that boiled rice digests in an hour, while it takes two hours to digest tapioca, two for boiled milk, and hour and a half for whipped raw egg and two hours and fifteen minutes for raw milk. Rice is made digestble by eating it with butter and it is a nourishing food be- cause it is rich in starch, although 1t is low in proteins.
 Such foods as beans, peas and len- tfls help to supply this want. One of the reasons rice is becoming so much recognized as a healthy and palatable dish is because Americans have lately learned to prepare it in variety of palatable ways, not always boiling or steaming it It is better to steam rice than to boil it as the flavor is better preserved.

ETIQUETTE

ANXIOUS-It is very evident thai nothing is to be accomplished in tho way of improving your sons manners by talking to him. You might try set, ting examples before him. Invkta his friends, or other young people oi his age, whose manners are all theJ should be, to your house to dfnneI often; and ask young ladies as well as young men. He may be ashamed to exhibit to their critical eyes the cruAe manners he habituaHy display before you think it would be bes never to speak to him on the subject but place him as often as possible il a position where he will have t prove himself either a gentleman ol a boor. And never allow your own manners to lapse from perfection whether others are present or not He may often enrbarrass you when you have guests, but the plan is worth trying, anyway.

follow in the train of spring,
 The maid or matron whose skin spots readily under the suns warm rays shouldn't wait until the damage is done and then franticaIly seek to repair it. Her cheeks and nose needn't be ffecked with conspicuous brown patches, commonly known as freckles, unless she objects to taking the necessary care to prevent them. A comfortable, sensible bit of head gear, the sunbonnet will protect the complexion and the hair from sun- burn, and the eyes from the trying glare of the strong light, and, be- cause of it's strings, tied coquettiShly under the chin, it won't blow off.
 Hardening the Skin.
 In choosing your summer headgear be sure that each hat has wide brirn and if it droopS a little, so much the better. Should frequent motor trips form a part of your summer pro- gram invest in a voluminous white chiffon veil. Draped over the face and hat it will ward off many a freckle.
 Having provided yourself with these projections against sun and wind the next thing to do is to ex- tend your crusade to the-care the skin itself.
 There is an astrtngent cream which will harden the skin and prevent it from becoming badly freclled and tanned if it is applied half an hour before going out into the sun and heated air. Here is the formula:

TO LIQUTF'Y HONEY.

Purchasers of strained or extracted honey often store it in a cold place and then when it has candied or gran ulated imagine it must be adulterated. This is an error; the honey may be iiquefed by standing in a larger ves- sel containing hot water at about 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
 If hotter the honey may be darken- ed and the flavor injured: it is better not to have the water too hot and to let it 1iquefy gradually.
 Keep honey in a dry. warm place. such as tho top shelf of kitchen cupboard. Tn a cellar or refrigerator liquid honey is likely to absorb moist ure or is time to become sour.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

For deep fat frying use fats which reach a high temperature before burning, such as pure leaf lard, or vegetole. Oils may be used for fry ing. Butter should never be used in irving because it burns at a low temperature.
 Sauteing is cooking in a small amount of fat, as we cook fried po- tatoes" or hash.
 Drippings may be used as season ing for vegetables in sauteing or for shortening.

TARNISHED.

Gold lace trimmings that have grown black and tarnished can be i'm proved by applying pulverized burned alum. Dip brush into this and brush every thread of the gold lace thoroughly. If there is much tarnish two or three treatments will be neces- sary to remove it.

American words and phrases, in

He had heard that a German
had tried to assassinate President
Wilson. He met another Ameri-

rumor, but he didn't want the
spies to understand, so he said:

don't care to be branded or tipped

over Dixie a pretzel birdie has
tried to Czolgoscz the former papa

For moment his friend studied
him with knit brows, and then,
even as the spies stood with ears
at acute angles, he answered:

Feel Patriotic?

Does anyone feel patriotic and
generous at the same time?
All of the 34th company, 4th
battalion of the 166th depot bril-
gade, have been quarantined for
several weeks with measles,
mumps and various other little
things, and are all nearly bored
to distraction. Now in their bar
racks there is good piano, but
the men have no music to play on
it. There are a few old tunes
that they all know by heart, but
the men are beginning to hate
them all, they have heard them so
often.
Now, the quarantined ones are
sending forth a plea for some
music, music of any kind, from a
good old hymn to the latest jazz
piece (jazz preferred).
Just dig up lot of that old
music of yours, folks, and buy a
few new ones for good luck, and
send 1t out to the men. They will
appreciate 1t.

BAZAAR
STARTS
OFF BIG
Tacoma responded!

Tacoma responded!
That was the happy thought Of
every committee member and
worker of the Armenian, Syrian
and Jewish relief bazaar, when,
Monday night at the official open
ing, Tacoma turned out en- masse
to do little war service and have
a good time at the same moment.
From the time that Dix Rowland
formally opened the fair with a
short speech and the grand march
began, lead by Lieut.. Raymond, Of
Gen. Greene's staff, and by Mrs.
Greene, until the last sound of
music had died away, hundreds Of
Tacomans made merry and gave
generously.
There were booths of every
kind, beautifully decorated and
with hundreds of tempting arti-
Giles for sale. The attraction that
drew the biggest crowd, was the
Moose show, Tacoma with the
lid off" where the good old games
of roulette and blackjack flourish
ed with the sky as a limit.
The wild west was here with ev-
erything for local color, down to
a kangaroo court, where promi-
nent citizens were tried, found
guilty and fined for the cause of
the bazaar.
1nst!lling pep" into the whole
building, and receiving a most en-
thusiastic reception, the navy boys
band from the Seattle training sta
tion gave some splendid music at
the opening. There were several
other bands and orchestras, and
tfhere was never a moment when
the fair was without music.
The Japanese teagarden, with
its cherry and wistaria blossoms
was particularly attractive, and
the good eats served there held
the victim once he was lured in.
The relief bazaar is to continue
every evening during the week.
