Baths for Home
Decoration

Baths are just as valuable for
purposes of home decoration as for
costume uses, and | cannot see why
interior decorations do not recognize
that fact. They could use them in
rooms just as they do chintz-but
they don't. Perhaps they will later,
when they discover what delightful
hangings and curtains, table and
cushion and chair covers, and all
sorts of things they can have made
in any style or color scheme thar
they desire" The speaker, Miss
Lucy Wallace, was showing some
most surprising. pieces of her handl-
work, as she spoke before a large
group of interior decorators at
meeting held at New York recently,
for Miss Wallace has been trying
experiments with batik, TO discover
its possibilities.
There were some lovely negligees,
exquisite in both design and color,
the latter attained by many clippings
in various dyes. Miss Wallace ex-
plained that she usually took plain
white tSlik or SeOrgette, WHICH size
found satisfactory to work with, and
then dyed it with everything colors
until she had just what she wanted.
"If you don't get the right shade
at first, dye, dye again. she said,
adding that ut is of no use to try
20 do batik, unless you love it, and
you have to like it or you don't
want to do it."
Then she unfolded most inter
esting piece II work. Pined up to
the succeed wall and viewed from
little distance, it looked like an
old mural decoration, fresco paint
cd on stone. The design was Assyr-
ian. Dividing the rectangular piece
of unbleached muslin, for that
foundation, although it had the feel
ing of stone and resembled it, into
two equal parts Gt being about
twice as long as it was deep, was
the tree of life of ancient Assyrian
mythology and, on either side of it,
heroic figure of one of their gods,

Lemon Snow,

One tablespoonful granulated gel
atine, one-quarter cupful water, one
quarter cupful lemon juice, one cup
full boiling water, one cupful sugar
and whites of three eggs.
Soak gelatine in cold water, dis
solve in boiling water, add sugar
and lemon juice, strain and set aside
in cool place. Occasionally stir
mixture and when quite thick beat
with Dover egg beaten until frothy.
Add whites of eggs beaten stiff and
continue beating until stiff enough
to hold its shape. Mould or pile
by spoonfuls on glass dish. Serve
with boiled custard.
Orange Whip Gelatine.
One and half tablespoonfuls
gelatine, one-third cupful boiling
water, juice of one lemon, one cupful
orange juice and pulp, one-third cup
full cold water, one cupful sugar and
whites of three eggs.
Soak gelatine in cold water to
soften. Then pour boiling water
over it; add sugar and lemon juice
when dissolved. Strain through
cheese cloth. Then add orange juice
and pulp. Set in a cool place to
harden. When it is slightly hard
ened, beat with Dover egg beaten
till foamy. Then add stif1y beaten
whites and beat till it falls from the
beaten. Then pour into moulds.

wings outspread. Then, In the
background, just as in the old
friezes and basreliefs which one
sees in museums, were rows Of
smaller figures; first, group of
slaves, chained together and march
ing along behind their driver. In
the next row appeared professions
of mobiles with their horses; then
came another row of slaves, and an
other of the noblemen and beasts.
THE colors are such as the As
syrians used with blue and orange
and black predominating in the
strong tones, while the people are
CT a sort of cream. The small fig
ures in the background are of soft
blush gray, purposely made pale
to bring up the foreground. But l
which they used to a softer cream.
Before | began this piece, l studied
the Assyrian exhibit at the Art Mu-
scum for a long time," said Miss
Wallace.
Such thing as this might we'll be
used as a piece of tapestry to be
placed on the wall of a library, liv-
ing room or large hall, and it
would look particularly we'll on a
stone wall. In fact it would seem
to belong there as part of it."
The next piece had the appearance
of an old tapestry. This, Miss
Wallace explained. was partly due
to the color, partly to the design.
This design was Chinese process
sion of Chinese court ladies of the
middle ages; but their costume was
so peculiar, so unlike the usual Chin
ese dress, in most instances, that
one might have thought it, at first
glance, a picture of court ladies of
medieval England. They might have
walked right out of Chaucer's world.
More careful study, however, shows
here and there a. distinctively
Chinese headdress and kimono, while
the tall, conventional chrysanthe-
NUNS standing, torchlike, at either
side, mark the scene as Chinese. The
colors, blue, dark brown. jade green,
yellow, are soft and rather dark,
of intense tonality, rather than vio-
lent contrast, while the background
is of blush slate color, cracked,
purposely. here and there, to let the
brown show through, thus giving
the effect Of an old wall of stone.
About it all was a conventional
Chinese border, which the artist
adapted from an old vase.
Next came a stage set, curtains
for windows and for a long French
door, also pillow covers and bed
spread, gay things patterned and
colored after those seen in peasant
cottages in Bulgaria.
This set" continued Miss Wal

I am sure that it is possible to make

lovelier shades than one dreams of,
while, if at any time a color is not

Biscuits Beaten.

One quart -four, one-quarter cup
full lard, one-half teaspoonful salt,
one cup cold water. Rub lard and
salt into -four, mix with cold water
to very stiff dough; knead 10 min
utes, or until we'll mixed, then beat
hard with biscuit beater or heavy
rolling pin, turning the mass over
and over until it begins to blister
and looks light and puffy, or till,
pulling a piece quickly, it will give a
sharp, swapping sound. -
When in this condition pull off a
small piece suddenly, form it into a
round biscuit, then pinch off a bit
from the top. Turn over and press
with the thumb, leaving hollow
in the center. Put the biscuits some
distance apart in the pan. Prick
with a fork. Bake 20 minutes in a
quick oven. They should be light,
of a fine even grain and crack at
edges like our crackers.

Pekin, April 1st-The Japanese Minis

for such loss. AS the result the Chinese
Government has further postponed the
publication of secret agreements between
China and Japan. American and British
agreements with China which we're not
regarded as secret, Were. published off
cially this week. Since their arrival in

has been one of opposition, although it
was reported in a Reuter- despatch in
London on February 18th from Toxic
that Baron Maxine, head of the Japan
csc Delegation in Paris, had been instruc-
ted to disclose all unpublished treaties.
Official diplomatic information reaching
Washington early in February indicated
that Japan virtually had threatened
war, if China made public the secret
treaties, and failed to carry out an agree
ment to make Japan the successor of
Germany in rights, property concessions

tween China and Japan respecting rail
