TO COOK BACON.

When you first tasted the much
vaunted bacon Of England, praised by
Dickens and Thackeray and every
other distinctively English writer,
were you disappointed? Was 1t
served to you white and soggy under
an egg in a little crockery dish? And
had you expected something crisper
and sweeter and browner and brittler
than the bacon served at home?
disappointed in the half-cooked bacon
that one usually gets in England.
Doubtless the English palate is dis
turbed by the crisp bacon we serve
and doubtless the English comment
dubs this bacon overdone and flavor
less. Such the habit of appetite.
But both English and American will
agree that bacon can be made or
marred in the cooking. And 1t is
rather odd that in most households
bacon is served in one OF. at most, two
ways: the other ways in which it can
be deliciously cooked, each bringing
out some new flavors. are ignored.
But most American taste prefers
broiled bacon to any other sort. 1t
must be broiled over or under a fame
not too hot. and 1t must be broiled to
just the proper state of crispness-so
that it is fiaky and golden brown
streaked with tender lean, but not
that it breaks the moment the fork
touches il.
When bacon is to be served with
some fried dish the bacon should be
fried. and the other dish fried in the
bacon fat. For instance. corn fritters
fried in bacon fat and garnished with
crisp slices of bacon, fried liver and
bacon. fried tomatoes and bacon. and
many other combinations can be best
cooked in this way.

Chatterer Makes a Great
lump.

If there is one thing in the world
that can get person into trouble
it is an upruly tongue. There is no
better way, no surer way of keeping
out of trouble than by saying little
and taking care that what you do say
would not be better left unsaid.
Chatterer the Red Squirrel was in
trouble. He was in the top of tall
tree which stood so far from the other
trees that it was quite impossible for
him to jump to another tree, and
climping up after him was Billy Mink:
1t was a dreadful situation. and 1t had
come about through the unruliness of
Chatterer's tongue. Chatterer has the
most unruly tongue in all the Green
Forest, and the queer thing is that he
doesn't learn by experience. That
tongue has got him into trouble time
and time again, but somehow he never
can resist the temptation to call his
neighbors names and say things to make
them angry.
The trouble with Chatterer is, he has
a short memory. His tongue gets him
into trouble, but he no sooner gets out
of trouble than he forgets all about
it, and that unruly tongue gets him
into another scrape.
The scrape he was in now was the
worst one he had been in for a long
time He was clear at the top of that
tall tree and coming after him was

As She Decks Her Hair.

Elaborate and varied headdresses are
in order, but one will notice that about
them all there is a suggestion at least
of the bandeau-the fiIet that encircles
the forehad in a way that Is entirely
classic-or entirely otherwise. Some
| times there are little quill-like feathers
that project upward from the band
! about the temples in way that sug-
gests nothing more than miniature
edition of the headdreSs worn by an
Indian chief. Then again the bap-
deau takes the form of turban of
twisted striped silk and 1t is called
! Turkish. reminiscent of the Turkish
| headdreSses worn by the grand danes
of the empire period in France. If you
| like you may have strings of beads or
chains of gold hanging from a point
on the turban directly above the ears
| and these loop down under the chin
on the neck.
Perhaps the latest notion from Paris
| is to have a little bunch of grapes or
| artificial flowers hanging above the left
! Or rlght-ear. Sometimes the hair is
/ arranged with charming negligence
and there is a delightful confusion of
Curls and grapes that is rather con-
| trary to most of the traditions of hair
dressing.
For the blond who wishes a strik-
ing evening hair arrangement there is
| the bandeau of bright jet with long
| tassels made of strings of smaller jet
beads hanging over the ears and hang
! ing down almost to the shoulders.
There Is no more tendency now to
show the ears than there has been for
| several seasons past. You may brush
your hair from your forehead if you
Eke-thoueh you must be or you must
look very young to do this success
fu1iy--but unless you have the cour-
age to be different you had best not
brush your hair severely off both
ears. Hats have been designed to be
worn with ears covered Covered esj S
are taken for granted Sometimes the
hair on the ears takes the form of a
neat little roll and sometimes of u
fussy little bunch of curls; sometimes 5
it is brushed forward on the cheek
and sometimes il droops downward, but
always it covers the ears.

skirt into several lines is to battle
ment the top of the first ruffle and
apply it to yoke of q different fabric
and color This yoke stretche,; from
the waist downward into the var
ious spaces left exposed by the cut
out edge of the ruff!e.,
The sketch shows a frock which is
arranged In this fashion. The yoke
is of beige-colorcd georgette run in
hne tucks: 1t is really a continuation
OF the loose blouse. The skirt like
the eton Jacket. is in leaf brown
looks as if it had been vanished.
There is sash of the brown satin
between the yoke and the blouse
which presents a definite waistline,
new feature that must be skillfully
guided to be successful.
The eton Jacket in this combination
frock and suit IS directly Influenced
by the tendency toward Spanish fash
ions which share the distinction of
success with Whatever is Chinese. Its
sleeves are short. there is no collar.
and 1T is widely open in front to show
the tan GeOrgette blouse.
The skirt. as you see. is not content
with being broken into irregular lines
at the hips. and 1t has narrow un-
deiSkirt that again cuts the line be-
low the knees. With the sash, the
yoke and the blouse of Il different
color. with the short Jacket. the bat
tlemented ruffle and the narrow un-
derskirt. it stands to reason that a
woman must be slim and graceful to
carry off the effect
TERED skirts Do Not Flare,
OF one thing the woman who goes
to choose new clothes must be quite
certain: the TERED skirt must not
flare. Whatever the hoopskirt may
do. TIL. street skirt does not. There
is slight evidence of desire TO COPY
the evening crinoline skirt with it's
skirt that must serve for street and
day hours.
Flattened hips are quite universal
The conservatives even adopt them
for expensive evening gowns. The
edges of the pleatings, ruffles and
overSkirts do not flare away from the
figure in the Arabic or Persian man.
ner which was threatened fashion.
They cling to the figure: they hang
Imply against 1t. Naturally. the
average fiounce has a swing of its
own at the hem that comes from the
disposition of the cloth, but 1t does
not present stiff line.
These facts are comforting. If we
are to wear TERED skirts. If we are
to cut ourselves up into several sec
tions. we prefer to present the ap-
pearance of a straight line from head
to heels.
Caused by Cloth Scarcity.
The dressmakers say that the in
coming fashion for the use Of small
pieces of material comes about
through a scarcity OF cloth. Ut may
not be an actual scarcity SO much
as terrifying increase in price which
induces every one to buy as little
material as is possible in the achieve
ment of a frock. Again this ope1s
the path to the home dressmaker TO
the amateur who finds a frenZied ex-
citement in using up odds and ends
of material in any way that rs per-
mitted by a prevailing fashion.

Dutch doors for bedrooms were
adopted by one family whose city

With the upper half of the door closed
and the lower half open. the air cir

the room was invisible to any one

In addition to all which. the glimpse
of charming room that one gets

this pretty custom into the inside

Billy Mink, and Billy was angry. Chat

helpless If Billy Mink caught him. He

YOUR HOME AND you.
The Dutch Inside Door.

We generally think of the Dutch
door as an outside door only; largely
because we inherited it from the days
when it was considered safe to un-
latch the upper part of the stout,
hand-hewn barrier to see who was
there. keeping the lower half bolted
against the intruder.
AS a matter of fact, however. the
interior Dutch door is both convenient
and decorative. as it permits the cir
culation of air without taking up floor
space and yields some charming
vistas. as you mav plainly see by look
ing at the sketts..

than a gate for keeping my young

CARDINAL GIBBONS OUT
AGAINST SUNDAY MOVIES

BALTIMORE. Md. February IL
Cardinal Gibbons has come out
strongly against the proposed bill in
the legislature to permit motion pic
ture shows on Sunday.
When asked if he was in favor of
strictly closed Sunday. he said:
by no means. On the contrary,
am in favor of outdoor exercises on
Sunday. Although in such exercises
people will see no artificial moving
picture, they will see a picture that
will move them to the worship of
their Creator and inspire their souls
to rise from nature to natures God.
Again. Sunday is about the only time
our laboring men and women can en-
joy such recreation. Moving pictures
commercialize Sunday. Such a privi-
lege will only be the entering wedge
to admit other amusements of a COM
mercial and pernicious character"
