CONVERSATION with Elsie is diff
cult. "Arent you sick and tired OF
this warm, cloudy weather." some one
asks her in an unguarded moment.
ooh, we can't have sunshine all the
time" replies Elsie, obviously trying
to pull her friend UP to her own heights
of kindly feeling toward the world, the
weather--and everything in sight.
"Isn't It awful the way things cost
now?" cries an outraged shopper.
"Oh. we'll" Elsie returns, lightly
I'VE just have to make the best Of It.
guess we're better off without some
of the things that we used to have"
Does Elsie live in your black books,
too? Do you know that smile and
those kind hearted remarks that make
you feel rs If you'd been eating too
much sirup on your hot cakes?
Wouldn't you just love to do something
to make Elsie mad clean through"
! and then sit by and hear her for onct
say something really sincere, even if it
is i'll natured?

Dear Madam am coming to you
for advice. A brother of mine expectss
to be married next month. He is to
live at home. Please give me some
ideas as to what / could give him

Since your brother is to live at home
he will not need any new furniture or
anything of that kind. He might like

given that. You might give him n set
of good books, or a handsome desk set,

If he is thinking of having n house
of his own some time in the near flu :

dish. Something personal would be
nice, too, like watch chain, or pair

Has CaracuI Fur Cape
o the Editor Of womun's PAGE:

To the Editor Of Woinur's Page:
Dear Madam have caracul skin
cape, full circular shape; comes nearly
to my knees. 1t was my mothers.
Could I sell it? 1t is in good conGi-
ton and would you advise me where
to sell or would you advise me to have
it remodeled for myself? am a woman
about forty years. MRS. NJ. w.
My advice about the cape is by all
means to have it altered for yourself.
Caracul is. very much in style this
year. You know, and furs are so ex-
pensive that it would be too bad to
overlook a chance like this to get such
a good one. You could have it made
into one of those short coatees that are
neckpiece and vest combined. They
are very popular and look we'll with n
serge dress or suit. In warmer weather
they take the place Of long coat with
silk dress. You are very lucky TO
have such thing. I am sure you
would be better repaid by having it re-
modelled than by selling it.

What to DO
BY CYNTHIA
About Dolls m Everything

NSVuh Sollo " NCIJhHIHH
Denr Cynthia-I am n daily reader
of the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER and
sometimes run across your column.
Wen, to begin with, some are o. X,
but some are so silly that I cannot find
worcs to express myself
Thus, take the girl that writes that
she is seventeen years old, well liked
by the opposite Sc and is good look
ing. Well, | would like to see them
when they. admit themselves that thcy
are pretty!
Another writes Because I did not
kiss him he became angry at me. {"
Now. Cynthia. | believe | will have to
Sn against your belief about kissing
because | can see no harm in it, and
KISS now and then is appreciated by
regular fellow, and when l say rcgu-
lar fellow | mean one that does not
advertise il.
Then comes my point. It's about
these so called ''vamps" and stay at
home girls. Well. | think the girls that
write against the ''vamp" are only work
ing against themselves, because by and
by they will really think they are
'vamps,' and to date l can say
YOU sec lot of girls that think they
ar" ,'vainps,' but they are not, they re
fools"
Then comes the argument about the
girls painting and using powder, and in
today $ column some one who signed
her article "a Doll'' wants some one
to reply TO her vision of dolls. Well,
can see why SO many people are down
on the girl that INDUCES in paint and
powder, but when say indulge I don I
mean for them to look like an "Indian, 4"
because l think little make-up now
and then helps to make n girl look more
neat and brighter, and anyhow YOU
can { hate girl because she wants to
look attractive, as long as she does not
overdo it.
Anyway, you can tell "a girl by her
face, because I've met some girls that
use the drug store remedy who are far
better personally than some painless
girls and all l want to see is for some
one to answer this. and if debate is
.'"cssary, l will furnish them with
same. +. A. s., %.

And Also Clues a Helpful
Hint about a Good Place
to Set Dough WhiIe 1t Is
Rising
Currant Rings Are Made by
the Same Recipe With
Slight Difference in Bak-
ing
BY MRS. NJ. A. WILSON

MANY requests have come to me
AVA to repeat the recipe for sticky
cinnamon buns. To make the buns,
set the following dough. Place in
mixing bowl
One cup Of aOatsr, so degrees Fab
renheit,
Three tablespoons Of matted milk,
TsOo tablespoons of sugar or sir1tp,
One tablespoon Of shortening,
One teaspoon of salt.
Crumble in one-half yeast cake
and stir until thoroughly dissolved.
Now add two cups of -four and then
beat to a smooth batter and then add
two cups more flour. Knead to
dough and then grease bowl well
with shortening and place in the
dough; press down firmly against
the bottom of the bowl and then turn
over, so as to grease thoroughly with
shortening. Set in a place about 80
degrees Fahrenheit, to rise for three
and one-half hours. Then punch
down the dough, turn it over and let
rise for one hour. Turn on a mold
ing board and roll out one-quarter
inch thick. Spread with shortening,
brown sugar and currants and dust
well with cinnamon.
Now roll up as for jelly roll, then
cut into pieces one and one-half
inches thick. Now grease an iron
baking pan we'll and cover the bot
tom one-half inch deep with brown
sugar. Sprinkle with currants and
then set the buns in this pan, to rise
for one and one-quarter hours. Bake
in slow oven for thirty-fve minutes
and turn out on CREASED tray as soon
as taken from the oven. Brush the
sirupy top with cold water.
Do not set the dough to rise on the
radiator or over the range. 1t must
be in a place free from draft and
about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I
have found that by warming the
oven of the range (gas) for three
minutes and then turning the burn
ers out, l get an ideal place in which
to set the dough while it is rising.
When ready to turn the dough on
a board, to roll out, do not handle at
all. Just take the dough from the
bowl and roll out at once, using the
rolling pin.
Rings
Prepare in the same manner as
for cinnamon buns and when rolled
and ready to cut, cut in slices three
quarter inch thick. Place on well
CREASED and Toured pan two inches
apart. Brush the top with egg arl
milk; wash and sprinkle thickly with
finely chopped peanuts. Let rise for
thirty-five minutes and then bake in
moderate oven for twenty minutes.
Remove from oven, brush the tops
lightly with milk and dip in con-
fectioner's sugar.
Cinnamon buns can be made by
using a baking powder mixture.

with the yeast mixture. Place in a

My dear Mrs. Wilson:
have read quite few of your
recipes and have become very in
terested. Would you kindly tell
me how much paraffin wax to use
in chocolate, when coating choco-
lates? l make them and notice
that they become discolored and
hard. Heard it is used but do
not know the quantity to use, also
would be pleased to know where
I could purchase a candy ther-
mometer. Thanking you,
MRS. NJ. E. F.
Use one tablespoon of melted
paraffin to each one-half pound of
chocolate. Your trouble is too much
heat while melting the chocolate.
A candy thermometer can be pur-
chased at all large department
stores in the housefurnishing de-
partments.

AIRED IN SENATE
Weeks Reviews Shortcomings
Of War Department in
Sending Lists.
Special Despdfch 10 TEE sen.

WAsHISGToS. Jan. 2.-Senator John
NJ. Weeks (Mass) to-day reviewed the
shortcomings OF the War Department in
the matter OF reporting promptly the
casualties in the American Exped ition-
AIRY Fore and charged that lack OF CO.
operation betweea the army officials and
the officials OF the American Red Cross
was to blame in the largest degree for
endless strain ard suffering among rela-
ttves OF our fighting men.

Describing Red Cross methods Senator
Weeks said that agency in August To-
Gated in French hospitals 200 American
soldiers reported missing by the War

compVshed has been praised or in
dorsed. Surely the American public will
not be deceived as to the meaning Of
this remarkable spectacle.

distinguished Senators who made the as
sault upon the policies OF the President.
opposing what he Is doing and demand
ing him to do other things that he is
not doing. are in direct opposition TO the
views that these same Senators have ex-
pressed upon similar subjects upon pre-
vious occasions. I charge that the as
sault Is for the purpose OF convincing
European negotiatore that IL they accept
the position presented by the President
the Senate will overthrow them, and by
this II is presumed the European pego-
tiators will take license to defeat the
President in what he proposes and can
put their reasons for doing>it on the
ground that they are serving interests
OF the American people represented by
the Senate which are opposed. as they
will say is shown by the views OF the
Senate. to what the President proposes.
: Not the Business of the senate.
Mr. Lewis asserted that II was his aim
to inform the European delegates 10 the
peace conference as to the true situation
so far as the United States was con-
cerned. He asserted that Il was not the
business OF tho Senate what the PTesi-
dent was doing. The President, he said
was exercising now his powers as Com.
mander in Chief OF the armies and navieS
of the United States, and in that cspac-
ity was entitled to determine the condi-
tons of peace. Senator Lewis after his
political depression turned his attention
| to the proposed League OF Nations and
said:
Unless there Is some arrangement IN

have peace and their disputes be settled
