War Is Responsible for
Many Words and Phrases
Added to English Tongue

The English language is very "elas-
tic" one, and ever receptive of new
words and phrases. AS a result of the
war, observes London Answers, it has
become saturated with terms of mill
tary, French and American origin in
particular.
"Going west" has a profound and
poignant significance. It's origin is
doubtless from somewhere in North
America" and it's peculiar applicable
ity is seen as one thinks of the sun
sinking to it's rest at eventide, behind
some of the eternal hills.
According to plan" is military
idiom which has been frequently used
of late, and has much significance.
Among the phrases which have come
to stay is that striking French one !:
els ne passeront pas" ("They shall
not pass!) 1t tells Of grit and per-
severance On the part of brave men
against fearful odds, and will ever be
an inspiration to future generations.
Much discussion has taken place re-
Gently over the meaning of the word
"decimated." 1t is frequently used by
war correspondents to express great
slaughter, but really it only means one
In ten, being derived from the Latin
decimus, tenth. The use of the word
"fy" and "tiee" in our war Journalism
also has been confusing at times. "Fly"
means to move with wings, while flee"
is general term, and denotes moving
with rapidity.
Our old, well-worn friends "blighty"
and "camouflage" hardly need refer
ence, but the first named is doubtless
derived from bilati, the Hindoo word
for home, and brought to this country
by our soldiers from overseas. "Camou-
flage,' Is French expression, mean
ing literally ito blow smoke into an
others eyes"-therfore, very effective
temporary "blind!"

carry it off. This refers to day frocks.
There is no attempt to relieve the
neckline of evening gowns when they
are deeply decollete, as the bodice is
rarely of heavy or opaque material.
The introduction of an afternoon
frock, which now means frock worn
for lunch as well as tea, but not for
the ordinary purposes Of shopping or
patriotic work, with deep U-shaped
decolletage half filled in with a fiat
ruflle of lace, has met with sufficient
popularity to insure reasonable
measure of success, and one hears on
every side the expression of pleased
acceptance with a fashion that gives
one chance to have the face soft
ened.
Against this judgment there are a
host of DIRECTORS who insist that the
severe neckline is smart and that the
other is out of the picture, but as soon
as enough well-dressed women adopt
the advancing method then she who is
out of the picture will be in it. 1t is
merely question of the eye. We are
the victims of visual familiarity with
objects. Otherwise there would not be
that complete change in the fashions
which occurs season in and out.

CHIC NEW SWEATER BLOUSE
Conserving Wool, but Without
Giving Up Good Points.

An extremely serviceable and jaunty
garment is the new combination sweat
err blouse, devised by some one who
wanted to conserve wool without CIV
ing up the good points of the sweater.
A blouse of some gay striped silk is
first made according to pattern that
opens down the front with fronts that
fold back and join in wide sailor col
lar. But the sailor collar is not made
of the silk. Instead it is made Of wool
of some color that goes well with the
strikes in the silk, as are wide cuffs
for the sleeves and foot wide hip sec
ton that forms tight-fitting peplum
for the blouse. TO put it on it is sim
ply pulled over the head. 1t Is charm
ing to wear with the walking suit
skirt, and the wool is placed just
where the additional warmth under
the suit coat might be most welcome
of frosty mornings.

Gingerbread.

Take one cupful each of molasses,
brown sugar and peanut butter, two
eggs, one cupful of sour milk, one-half
teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, one
quarter teaspoonful of cloves, one ia
blespoonful of ginger, one teaspoonful
of soda, one and one-half cupfuls each
of barley and corn flour, one teaspoon
fool of cinnamon. Mix together the
sugar, peanut butter and spices with
the molasses. Place in a bowl, set in
warm place until the butter is soft.
then beat the mixture to cream, Beat
the eggs to froth and add them with
the salt. Sift the soda with the flour
and add, alternating with the sour
milk. Whip the batter well, then pour
into well-greased tube pan. Bake As
minutes in moderate oven. Steamed
and served with orange or lemon sauce
1t makes fine dessert.
In making mullins, gems and bread,
small amounts OF leftover cereals NAV
be added. When batters are made
without the use of eggs the mixture
should be beaten long and well.

MITTENS ARE IN GAY COLORS
Wooden Hand Coverings Are Seen in
Large Variety; Often Match
Scarf or Cap.

One reason put forward for the
vogue for mittens is that one cannot
carry muff and carry bag, and
every patriotic woman simply must
carry bag these days. Another rea-
son, and one that holds true of the
woman of moderate income, is that
fur is high and new muff is out of
the question. Then lot of women
are doing outdoor work who never
did it before. They are exposed to
the cold nipping air of morning and
evening on their way to and from vol
unteer or paid work. They drive
automobiles and conduct" street cars
and act as messenger boys and collect
bills, and for this work they need to
have protection for their hands that
is more substantial than the kid glove
or fabric glove of other days.
Hence the mitten
The prediction was made some
months ago that the smartly dressed
woman would be wearing shaggy an.
CORA gloves and mittens and some peo-
pie shrugged their shoulders and felt
sure that there was nothing that would
tempt the well-dressed woman away
from the conventional kid Surely the
TACT that they had almost doubled in
price would not have this effect on
the woman who took dressing serious.
~. But the vogue has come, and
where well-dressed women are seen
in outdoor attire there one also sees
wooden gloves and wooden mittens.
Ihey are made in the gayest colors.

LACE COMES BACK
BLACK Wells ARE PREFERRED
Color Takes Lead for Universal Be-

Favorite With Women.

The possibilities of the veil are p"ac-
tically unlimited. Chosen with care with
regards to color, size and design,

the other hand, veil can make

and is wonderfully effective in Sus-
costing fineness and clearness of skin.
Most trying of all though, is the white
veil. Only she who knows her type to
perfection and has proved the becOm-
ingness of the white veil should at
tempt it, But brown wells for charm
ing red heads by all means!
AS to size or shape, the unimpeach-
ably groomed person may go in for the
long flowing veil, hanging loose from
the face. But the average woman, if
she would look her triggest best, must
have her veil snug.
Unbeautifying splashy scrolls of the
all-over kind are usually not the choice
of the carefully dressed woman, no
matter how modish the pattern. The
same thing is true of dots. Dots we'll
