SHOCKING

Much shocking is used upon par ty frocks as well as upon play frocks, and charming little models are made up in chiffon crepe and other soft materials, with no other trimming. A pretty dainty model was in yellow crepe de chine, smocked across the shoulders and at the wrists, and tiny pockets at each side were smocked at the upper part. Net, fine voile, Geor- gette crepe and handkerchief linen are among other materials favored for festive party frocks for the little girl

A TEA TABLE

It has a mirror top, and besides re- flectina the teacups it gives back the reflection of every pretty face whose owner is seated near it.
 It gives opportunity for filtration, too; eyes may meet in the tea table mirror which would not venture to meet each other boldly across a room.

I REED RECEIPTS FOR DELICIOUS
 SHORTCAKES

Cakes and pastries are out of the question until a reserve supply of wheat has been built up.
 Delicious short cakes, made of all war Hours and cereals, will be better than the heavy pastries and rich frosted cakes from a health stand point anyway. As the early fruits come to market one immediately thinks how delicious a short cake will be. When the early fruits are too ex- pensive canned apricots, plums and peaches satisfy the normal spring craving for fruits and carry out food conservation rulings.
 Use barley and rice flour, vegetole for shortening and Louisiana cane syrup for sweetening.

Careless Smokers.

Augusta has had three awning
fires on Water street within a
month" remarks a local insurance
man, and each was caused by care
lessness, pure and simple-burning
matches or cigaret stubs thrown out
of a window without thought OF care
as to where they landed. Fortunate
" they did not land on the millinery
of passing ladies, or anywhere to
cause explosion, only the loss Of a
few dollars and the bother and
clerical work of settling the insur-
ance."
| 1t would seem that every smoker
guilty of such carelessness should be
held responsible for the damage he
causes. At least the series here this
spring should serve as warning and
should cause greater care on the part
OF smokers.
