American flying corps, delivered a stir
ring address on the war to an enthu-
siastic audience at the Theatre Argen-
tina last night. The meeting was under
the auspices of the Colonial Institute.
1t was the first meeting since the war
began in which the doors of that or
ganization were thrown open to the
public.
Representative La Guardia had just
returned from the French front and
made his return the occasion for ac-
cepting the traditional Roman chal-
lenge" to answer all questions regard
ing the war. His remarks took the
form of an analysis of President Will
sons war messages, pointing out their
perfect sequence in developing his orig
nent peace-of conducting a war against
war.
His words brought about an enthu-
siastic demonstration in favor of Amer
lea amidst frantic cries of viva Will
son. Viva America"
The meeting Was presided over by
Deputy Artom, president of the CO.
lonial institute. Those present includ-
ed the mayor of Rome. Prince Prospero
Colonna: members of the cabinet, SEN
ators and deputies; Maj. Ryan, com
mander of the American flying corps al
the entire staff Of the American Red
Cross in Rome and Thomas Nelson

The Colored Blouse.

France also shows the way in the use
of A blouse that is not entirely white.
We have had the colorei. belted blouses
for two years. and we have launched
these with tailored ones of muslin and
softer ones OF filet lace: but the new
blouse is of plaid chiffon woven in that
thick quality which the French like
and which wears better than muslin.
The sketch shows one of these French
blouses in blue and white checked chif-
fon. with an eton collar of blue or
CANDY edged with ruffies of val lace and
finished with a jabot of both materials,
which drops to the loose belt The
sleeves are small at the top, flare a bit
at the elbow and are caught into cuffs
of blue organdy, edged with lace ruff
fies.
There is not as much tendency to use
the solid colored blouse in opposition to
the coat and skirt as there is to play
up the fabrics with white foundation
and Il colored design.
The gingham and calico blouses that
are worn on the outside of the skirt
with a sash are only a makeshift for
the mornings and for sports. but the
coloring is repeated in voile and this

Brussels Sprouts.

a good many persons who don't care
for cabbage do like brussels sprouts.
However, even devotees of this vege-
table grow tired of it when it is served
time and again just plain boiled. So
vary your brussels sprouts cooking
repertoire by adopting some of the fol-
lowing recipes:
Brussels Sprouts Salad.-Boil a pint of
brussels sprouts until they are tender.
Drain them and sprinkle them with
two teaspoons of lemon juice Add
equal parts-about tablespoon each
of chopped olives. walnut meats, capers
and onions Arrange all on lettuce
leaves and serve with mayonnaise.
Fried Brussels Sprouts-Boil brussels
sprouts until they are tender. Dip them
in egg and fine crumbs, then fry them
in deep hot fat.
With Tomato Sauce-Boil brussels
sprouts until tender. drain and serve
with thick, highly seasoned tomato
sauce.
Fried Brussels ,Sprouts-Haye ready
brussels sprouts that have been boiled
until tender. Chop one onion and brown
it lightly in frying pan; in an ounce
of butter. When it is golden brown re-
move it and add the brussels sprouts
a pint of them. Toss them for three
minutes until they are done Drain
thoroughly and season with pepper and
salt.
Fritters of Sprouts.-Boil brussels
sprouts until tender, drain thoroughly
and dip them in thick fritter batter.
Fry until golden brown in deep fat.
Drain and serve Immediately.
Creamed Sprouts.-Over tender brus-
sells sprouts that have been thoroughly
drained pour a rich cream sauce well
seasoned.
Au Gratin.-Boil brussels sprouts un-
til tender and put them in buttered
baking dish. Pour white sauce over
them. Sprinkle with grated cheese and
| fine bread crumbs.
Scalloped Brussels Sprouts-Boil
| brussels sprouts. mix them with a few
| soft bread crumbs and place in q bak-
ing dish. Cover with a white sauce and
brown in the oven. For variety the
| cream sauce may be favored with to-
mato.

is equipped with pockets. and these are
braided or embroidered in contrasting
colors. The touch of embroidery is also
continued about the neck of the gar
ment, and as an outline for the little
vestee.
The neglige proper may be devel-
oped in color. with vest of white. Any
soft silk or satin would make good
selection, and if designed for warm
weather wear this style design could
be used for dotted swiss, organdy or
voile.
The fancy for trousered lounging
garments continues strong. If the one
shown is made of silk or satin. Turk
ish trousers matching it may serve as
the foundation.
The wise woman long ago learned
that pretty and becoming neglige gar
ments are absolutely necessary, and the
old stereotyped kimono has little place
in the up-to-date woman's wardrobe.
If desired, the neglige here shown
could be made up of f1owered chiffon
or voile with trousers of plain color
satin or silk, with pipings of the latter
material serving as decorative touch
for the outer garment.
