New York. Dec. 27=The coming
year promises to be a wide open sea-
son indeed for calves.
Feminine ones have been cavorting
around unhampered by the mere de-
tail of a skirt long enough to hide
their curves until the men have be-
come nearly desperate for an oppor-
tunity to show that they have a per-
nifty in the mode themselves. Now
they are about to burst forth in all
their opulence with knee breeches as
a. first aid to calf emancipation.
At least that is the rumor that is
going round and tho we have been
threatened with a return of these erst-
while popular small clothes, almost
every year that somehow failed to ma
terialize this time it really looks as if
they would come true. Just calling to
mind offhandedly the vision of your
male friends and relatives in bathing
suits or golf togs it would seem as If
this threatened pantie shortening were
going to be an awful blow to esthetlc
art. Still there is always the comfort
ing assurance that, altho according to
Ellis Parker Butler, pigs is Pigs
calves are not always calves and that
often a silk stocking covers a multi
tude of symmetricals as they say in the

And there is all the color excitement
that King Alphonso has started with
his new lavender clothes. It's quite
natural for the Spanish monarch to
don half-mourning for the kinging
business which is now almost as dead
as door nail but whether other less
regal males will adopt the purple
mauve and violent violet tints as the.
color scheme for their 1920 outfits is a
question that is still an open one at
the time of going to press. Mark
Twain tried mighty hard to make
white the smart background of the
modish male and someone else, I for
get just who, essayed to put over dark
blue. Now along comes Alphonso
with a little dash of lavender and If
there is anything in the saying that

persons. But most of us can stand
onions; and even those who find them
indig estible when eaten raw find them
beneficial when eaten cooked.
One of the most delicious onion
dishes ever concocted is the following:
Cut the tops off from small green pep

boil them. Then stuff them with force
meat made with three Bermuda onions
chopped fine and seasoned with salt,
pepper and butter, and mixed with a
few fine bread crumbs. Bake until
tender and serve hot.
Stuffed onions are made from large
onions, boiled in salted Water, for
about an hour. The water should be
changed once or twice in the course
of the cooking and the onions should
not be cooked too long, but just until
tender. When they are done, drain
them and, after they are cool. remove
the center of each one carefully. For
each ten onions prepare a filling
made as follows: Brown half a dozen
mushrooms in butter for four min
utes, chop them fine, add half a cup
of bread crumbs and moisten with
cream. Season with salt and pepper.
Fill the. cavities with the mixture,
press it down and put a small piece
buttered baking dish and bake them
for about twenty-five minutes mois-
tening from time to time with hot
water and melted butter.
Curried onions are an unusual deli
cacy. To prepare them, parboil a cup
of chopped onions for ten minutes and
add a cup of cold boiled rice, a cup
of milk, a half treaspoon of curry
powder. and salt, pepper and butter.
Keep adding butter to the mixture
while it cooks for twenty minutes
slowly and steadily. When it is done
add few drops of lemon juice and

mashed potatoes about it. IS

onion lovers. Bermuda onions are the
sort to use for it. Slice four of them
rather thickly and let them stand
three hours in little tomato ketchup.
Then arrange them on slices of toast
and season them with SALT pepper
and a little mustard. Put drop or
so of Worcestershire sauce on each
slice. Arrange the slices side by side
on a platter, cover them with grated
cheese and bake them for a little
while in hot oven. They should be
baked long enough to melt the cheese,
but not long enough to tougher it.

scout film at a program to be given
by the boy scouts band.
The week will also be known as
father and son week, and in hundreds
of cities there will be big banquets

Feb. s, every Scout, no matter where
he may be, will stand at salute and
repeat the Scout oath.
The band will not rehearse again
until January. The Oakland Pioneer
troop has issued basketball challegne
to any troop in Shawnee county. The
third negro troop in the state has been
organized in Topeka.

Man would be perfectly happy if
they'd let him live in a good hotel
where you can have your suit pressed
overnight and get your shirt back the
day you send it out. But the oppos-
ing sex sooner or later insists on a
house, SO they can have a lot of win
dows to curtain.
Back in 1914 the person who had
married me was acting kind of fidgety
and nervous and her friends, who
thought she ought to be the happiest
girl in the world, asked her why and
she finally confessed that she was go
ing. crazy for lack of places to hang
curtains. So with no money what
ever we bought lot and built house
full of windows.
My ill-gotten salary Wouldn't pay for
the curtains. let alone the house and
lot, SO I wrote a short story and sent
it to an editor and the sucker took
it and from that time on I made so

DRESS
The v That Extends to the Belt Line
Is Worn-To Be Sure, But With a
t1Modesty Piece in the Form of a
Lining Beneath.
By ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

The v That Extends to the Belt Line
Is Worn-To Be Sure, But With a
taModesty Piece'' in the Form of a
Lining Beneath.
When our great grandmothers
found that the sV', opening of their
tightly fitting bodies displayed more
than they thought consistent with de-
corpm they inserted fuckers or mod
esty pieces" as they called them. 1t
was so much more interesting to wear
a bodice with a deep V built up in this
way than to wear a bodice, the outline
of which was actually the same as the
lower bodice, plus the modesty piece.
1t was a trifle coquetish, perhaps.
This modesty piece, even tho a trifling
bit of lace or muslin, seemed to mark
the woman who wore it as possessed
of all the virtues. There was a de-
corum about it similar to that which
characterized the muslin cap worn by
all good housewives, from which in
cidentally stray and wayward curls
could be induced to keep in a way that
was altogether bewitching.
The Deep Line.
The modesty piece of today, if you
do not object to the term, has grown
apace. In truth. it had to. You have
heard a good deal about the extreme
deconetages brought out in Paris and
perhaps you felt sentiments of real
evening bodies extended in front to
the waist line and in back even below
it! But you need not have been
alarmed for these extreme styles have
made little headway here save among
the extremists in fashion who would
have resorted to some extreme in fash
ion. whatever the style.
But the line of the deep V is re-
tanned in one or two of the interesting
frocks recently brought out. The
superfluous v. is merely filled in-as
-great-grandmother would have
done it--only in this case it is a came
sole or foundation slip instead of a
mere tucker.
Bands of Plush. s.
That is the most striking thing about
the little evening frock shown in to-
days sketch. That it is brown
brown chiffon over brown silk lining
lis something that will probably not
surprise you, for we have become ac-
customed to brown evening gowns, al
tho this once would have been con-
sidered about the last color for evening
wear. The six bands around the skirt
and the bands that outline the V neck
and the short sleeves are Of brown
plush.

You see how reticent we are about
adopting the bouffant silhouette. 1t is

that those who see us will think that
It is we who are bouffant and not

can achieve the effect of bouffancy
without paying so dear for it, well and

makers, knowing our desire still to- ap-
pear sylph-like and still hankering for
a new line in evening frocks, have de-
vised the scheme of draping or rather
hanging an outstanding skirt over a
slipky lining.

New York, April 14.-The opening
on the Cotton Exchange was steady but
somewhat irregular. new style contracts
showing a rise Of about IL points. while
old style contracts were about 10 points
lower.
y good deal of stress was laid upon
the optimistic reports from the goods
markets. especially the large sales at
New England points last week. and this
trade buying which carried new style
contracts about IA points above Satur-

The early buying movement carried
