GEORGE SAND.

The great writer who called herself George Sand was born Amantine Aurora Dupin. Her father was sol dier of Napoleon, the son of an ille- gitimate daughter of the brilliant Maurice de Saxo. Her mother was the daughter of a peasant. She had, therefore, in her ancestry, a king of Poland and an opera dancer. She was at once cousin to Louis XVI. and to a peasant. At an early age Aman- tine was placed in a convent by her aristocratic grandmother. Here she met Baron Dudevent and married, him in 1922. The marriage was very un- happy and the pair sought distraction in travel. It was at Bordeaux that Amantine met Aurelien de Seze, a young magistrate, and the first of the many men she loved. Nine years later she and her husband agreed to separate, and from then on Amantine divided her time between Paris, where she wrote, and her chateau at Nehant, where her children resided: During the course of her career she had no less than nine lovers who are all cele- brateds men in music and literature, among them Chopin. She may have had others who remain unknown. She survived them all, dying in June, 1876.

 "To a great number of us the power to differentiate clearly between a LDuse to live in and one in which to store collections has not come. It is a common error to suppose that this point of view is limited to the very rich, with a certain mania but no taste. This supposition is @ mistake. While it is true that it passeth un- derstanding how some of these people have been able to gather together in one short lifetime so many totally un- related objects (sone beautifuD and vet have contrived no place among them fit to live in, still others, in diff ferent ways, have done no better. "HousefDld like other decorations mus. first of all be decorative in themselves and then they must be composed or used in a decorative way if they are to result in decorative unity called a room.
 | Clearly, to accomplish this end one must not only have the taste quality in selection. but a knowledge or un- derstanding of the principles which

built around rather clumsy corseterie.
 In fact, with the possible exception of some of the exclusive Paris shops, there are no foreign corsets that can approach the American makes in style and finish. Even the cheap American corsets have more grace of line than some of the costlier foreign ones.
 The basque was originally a cos- tune worn by the tribe of that name in the French and Spanish Pyrenees, and in those days 1t was simply a short-waisted blouse separated from the skirt. The modern basque is more graceful. Instead of the peculiar and rather clumsy inward curve at the waist line, which is typical of the for eign original, the modern basque is only semi-fitting, and thus conforms with the modish fiat lines.
 The basque here illustrated is typ ical. This example is of black satin and is particularly soft and graceful, because instead of being sharply sep arate from the skirt it flows into the skirtline from the black bodice.
 Black and gray velvet, relieved by ecru net and cluny lace combine to form strikingly handsome after noon gown. The skirt is a black and gray check of velvet, and this same material is used to form suspended over the shoulders.
 These suspenders fasten near the shoulders with tiny silver buckles that conform with the black and gray color scheme of the gown. A narrow black patent leather belt passes under the basque at the waist line.
 Although the blouse is simple in line it is exceptionally beautiful in it's color contrast. The blouse itself is of black satin, finishing with a black satin collar. As a relief to the black blouse, there is a full ecrue net cape collar, with a border of heavy ecru cluny lace at the bottom. The top of this cape ends at each side of the black satin collar. Incidentally, this collar is unusual, for it is only one inch high-an innovation from the extremely high collars of black that have been worn so widely this sum- mer.
 In front, the blouse is finished with graduating ruffle of the cluny lace similar to that used as a finish to the collar, but, of course, much narrower. 1 Small, dull, silver buttons, matching the buckles of the suspenders, finish the blouse in front.

The canning season is fast drawing to a close and genuine satisfaction Is ours when we count up the mate rials we have tucked away safely in cans. The home maker who has planned on a can of greens or a can of vegetables and 8 can of fruit for every day may well anticipate the heavy winter that we have before us, with no fears for her family. Such a mothers foresight is the family's in- surance against a possible scarcity of food. The home-maker who has not provided half of the quota stated need not fear for the comfort of her fam fly, for by exercising her brain and doing intensive planning she Will~not have to be calling upon the intensive limited supplies of the tin-canned ma terial, which will be found on the grocers shelves. The woman who has not made the most of her opportunity in the game of conservation this sum- mer should deservedly feel guilty when she goes to her. grocer and asks for part of his supply. That supply will never be sufficient to meet the needs of those who have toiled so ceaselessly for us in the munitions factories and in other war winning enterprises. The timed material should belong unreservedly for such folk as these. We have had our re- peated warnings and if we have not provided against the chilly day let us do so before it is positively too late!
 There still remains a good crop of corn and lima beans, and tomatoes in plenty. The pears, apples and grapes are coming along in quick succession, so let us put them under glass realiz- ing that it is not at all necessary to use sugar in conserving them, if the sugar is not available. To be sure sugar helps the flavor but when we have a little more sugar in the winter

INFERIOR DECORATIONS.

That unless standards of refinement and taste appear in tho environment they cannot make their impress on national character is the conclusion reached by Frank Alvah Parsons in an article in Interior Decoration. How much both the fabric and the quality of ones mind depend upon the home in which one spends his first five years is a question of immeas- urafble importance he says.
 Tt is only quite recently that the full meaning of the power of environ nent to influence life in the fields of color form and line has been recog- ntSed. Here interior decoration comes into its very own; it becomes and must remain the element to be seri- ously considered not only for the child, but for the adult in any walk of life, so long as he is susceptible in any degree to those influences which surround him.
 This vital thing called interior decoration should be seen then from two distinct viewpoints; first, as a matter of impression for it's perma- nent effect on the quality of the race, and, second. as q matter of expression that is, as the way in which one puts into concrete form his individual items of what a home should be, as to comfort, convenience and appear ance.
 >To a large mass of our people the house is still mainly a necessary place for shelter from the elements and fos physical rest and bodily rebuilding While these are first essentials in life they are the most primitive and should be seen only in their right pro- portion with other cDG equally i'm portant ones.

OATMEAL MACAROONS.

Here is a recipe for some cookies which takes no precious wheat flour at all. These are excellent cookies to serve with afternoon tea or to give the children when they feel hungry in the afternoon. Fairly economical they are also.
 Measure two cupfuls of uncooked oatmeal into a bowl, add one cupful of granulated sugar and half a cup full (melted) of any butter substitute. Mix well and let this soak overnight. Next day add one well-beaten egg and one teaspoonful of almond fiavoring. Drop on well-greased tins and bake in d medium oven. Do not remove from tin until cold or they will break.

The headquarters of the City Home Economies Committee of the Fairfield County Farm Bureau are being moved at the present writing to occupy part of the building in which the Dehy- drating Committee is located on City Hall Green. The combination of the drying and the conservation processes under the same roof is to be quite an ideal arrangement for the women of Bridgeport. It is hoped that this food center will be used by every person in the city. Always make it one item on that shopping trip to come in and see what the latest information is on the food questions of the day. There will be posters for your inspection, exhibits illustrating the rationing sys- tems, recipes for the new War cook cry, leaflets for distribution, and it is hoped to have someone always on hand to answer personal queries. Come in and see what is being ac- complished by the two committees.
 Take a survey of your canned goods and be deciding what can look the best to be exhibited at the Danbury Fair.
