II list were made OF allTthose in

starvation, the latter wouldfbe longer.
Think OF it, 100000 more have died
from famine than have died on the
battle field The total number OF
those who have been killed in fighting
Is 4.250.00o The total number OF
those who have died from starvation
is i.750,000.
Can we grasp the tragedy in these
figures?
Over four and half millions of
old men and women, young mothers.
girls and boys and babies, have been
sacrificed 10 the War God without
even the privilege of leaving behind
the honored memory of those who die
In glorious service on the battlefield.
They have died in silent anguish, un.
known, unsung.
Perhaps the memory of their
deaths would not forever fill us with
horror II We could convince ourselves
that those who have died of starya.
ton have not died in vain: that by
their sacrifice they have pushed the
Allies a little nearer victory. The
loss OF these lives will have been an

TEA TABLE, SOcIETYS ALTAR
Beverage sustains and Cheers as Moth.
Ing Else Does-ouieting Nerves
and Changing Thoughts.

The tea table has been called the
altar of society and time the daily sac
rliiee, says Churchill Ripley In the
Mothers Magazine. There Is a great
deal TO be said in favor of this use Of
time, and the women of America would
do well to universally observe the ten
hour as time Of relaxation. Through.
out the country there might be estab-
lished the custom Of completing the
heavier duties OF the day at four
o'clock, and attending after that TO
lighter duties that would result In the
betterment of all. eupful Of tea sus.
tains and cheers ms nothing else does !:
moreover II is quicting to the nerves
to change the thoughts and occupations
II only few moments.
A group of women determined to
make better use Of time could easily
devote the late afternoon hours to their
Red Cross work, separating the time
set apart for that service from the
earlier hours Of the day, and over the
teacups gain relaxation that would be
of assistance in their patriotic work.
Many thousands Of our women observe
the tea hour, but many more thousands
need to be emancipated from duties to
which they are accustomed TO give all
the hours Of every day In the year.
Much that would otherwise never
suggest itself to the housewife and
mother may become of intense interest
and be of definite Importance in the
home II the tea table and the tea hour
be established In our midst.

Alfalfa as EIavorino Extract,

Alfalfa is mighty useful plant.
Domestic animals. from the chicken
TO the COW. find it gastronOmically
available. But the notion of deriving
from a fluid extract for the flavoring
of beverages and foods is altogether
novel. For this purpose the alfalfa is
cut and harvested when about fourteen
DAYS old and eight to twelve inches
high. In this early stage of growth 1t
IL relatively free from woody fiber.
II Is washed In warm water and dried
by artificial heat. thus retaining Its
natural flavor and light green color.
1t Is then ground into tiny pieces and

Wherever we drop in for afternoon
tea we just naturally gravitate toward
a table that CLOVIS with candle under
a pretty shade. Small vases or bas-
kets Of flowers have almost as strong
a lure and every hostess knows that
nothing else adds so much to her table
as lights and flowers. So every year
those who make a business Of manu-
featuring table decorations bring out
new variations in the use Of silk or
paper for shades and something new
In receptacles for flowers.
The pretty flower basket shown
above requires only deft fingers and
paper rope to make it. The rope is
woven over a wire foundation and the
small basket carries an ordinary wa
ter glass. When the basket Is woven
of gray or brown or ivory color or
green rope, according to the prefer
ence Of its maker, 1t Is vanished with
shellac. Either real or artificial flow
ers, with fresh or preserved ferns,
make up the bouquets that adOrn liv-
ing rooms and dining tables these days.
Bouquets Of artificial flowers are
fashionable and serve to help brighten
the house, with the approval Of fas-
tidious people. There Is great vogue
for them in fact. especially for those
that copy closely Old-fashioned garden
flowers like the aster a - marignld.
the daisy and hrysanthoassufs-ac.!. Of
course, always the rose.
The candle shades an6 ~ SHOWN
In the picture are mad OF fine crepe
paper and much like the candle shades
Of last year or any other year. except
that the candle light filters through
two thicknesses Of paper in two shades
of the same color. with the lighter
shade on the inside. At the left a
candle shade Is made of large rose
petals In rose pink and each petal is
lined with paper In lighter pink.
There are small roses and rose leaves
set about the shade near its top. Soft
shades Of purple and lavender together
make lovely shades Of this kind. The
shade at the right is even simpler. II
Is made Of tight and dark rose color
and is as pretty In deep and pale yell

The younger school children are
proving themselves immensely helpful
| In work for the Red Cross. They are
enthusiastic and surprisingly persist
ent. They soon learn how to make
all the small, simple knitted articles
Of wool or cotton. including squares Of
wool yarns for quilts or cOmforters.
and the simplest of baby bonnets and
mufflers. From knitting cotton they
make wipes or spOnges for hospital
use. and Of outing flannel or eiderdown

Their efforts have been directed to-
ward doing things that will help keep
the shivering throngs Of Europe warm
during the coming winter. They have
turned out thousands upon thousands
Of ration heaters, and cannot get too
many Of these.
For the little squares Of knitted yarn
that are afterward sewed together
Into quilts odds and ends Of wool are
used, as the color makes no difference.

when finished. and for yarn Of the
average size 80 stitches are cast on,
coarse yarn requires few less. and
finer few more. In the city schools
the younger boys and girls knit the
squares, and the older girls join them.
and line the quilt with flannel, or some
such material. The plain garter stitch
Is used for all these articles.
For baby bOnnets Of wool yarn, 30
stitches are cast on and a strip Is
