SIMPLE MATTER TO DIAGNOSE
Probably Yield to Treatment of the Right Kind.

The collar salesman leaned his lfn- enlike face over the counter at me and whispered: 'Tm getting collar itis.'
 What's thatP' I asked, twisting a number fifteen choker around my six teen neck.
 "A disease peculiar to collar sales men only. After one has sold these linen and flannel circles for any length of time he begins to think, walk and dream in circles and spirals.
 Mentally, can never arrive at any conclusion. I start to think from a thought which always seems to me to be bone collar button, and I inva- riably arrive at the point where be- gan.
 "When I take a walk catch myself describing circles which seem to be made of collars. The streets. the houses, the stars seem at times to be a merry-go-round made up of linen ob- jects.
 'sIt night I dream of mounting vast circles up in the sky made up of mil- lions of collars, at the top of which is a giant collar box"

Please Southern Visitors

This winter hats have reflected the uncertainty of the silhouette. There has been war between the dress with the puffy hips and the one of slender lines and the question of choice between the two has had an important bearing on all fashions. As both these types were worn, it was natural that there should be both large and small hats as well as those that were plain and those greatly trimmed.
 We always see the full skirt ac- companied by rather large hat of picturesque shape, which is topped by trimming of fussy character; while the straight-line dress has in it's wake the small hat. Fur toques are fash ionable bits of headwear for this midwinter.
 Those going South are beginning to think more of springlike things, and for them quite summery-looking hats are already making their ap- pearance. Glazed chintZ and ere tonnes are featured in some of them. We have had chintz and cretonne hats for the country in other sum- mers, but the glazed, or shellacked chintz, has not been used before. 1t

We have come to think of 1t as such practical material that it never has had the attention that 1t deserved from the artistic standpoint. It was always fea- tured in evening gowns for members of the younger set, but we rarely saw it in handsome daytime -frocks, as for some reason or other Is has come to be considered a somewhat informal material. Now our greatest designers have taken it up and are exploiting it in a way that makes everybody wonder why we did not realize it's possibilities before.

MUCH EXPLANATION IN ORDER
Young Wife Had to Be Satisfied as to the Identity of Husbands
 "Alma."

A husband newly wed, and also a graduate of the University of South efn California, went to attend . ban quet on the campus with a few of his college mates. He omitted telephOn- Ing his wife.
 When friend husband did arrive home his wife was almost ready to break off diplomatic relations.
 "Where in the world have you been ?'' was her menacfng question.
 "Why, dearie, have been out en- toying the evening with my dear Alma Mater"
 "What?" calculated his wife, jump ing to her feet. "Alma who" Then tears.
 It took the errant head of the fam fly just two hours and twenty-five minutes to convince his heart-broken helpmate that Alma Mater was not an alluring vampire.-Los Angeles Times.

After.war Coffee.

People old enough to remember the Civil war are able to recall the fact that after the close of that conflict ii was difficult and often impossible to obtain coffee. Various substitutes were used, such as parched rye, but one that was commonly utilized in Washington and many other cities was sweet DO. tatoes. The latter were first roasted and allowed to burn somewhat on the outside. Then they were mashed in water and boiled. The water was thus transformed into coffee, by no means so unpalatable as might be imagined Sugar in those days cost 25 cents 8 pound. But the sweet potato coffee required no sugar, and so was an eco nomfcal drink.

Designers Now Give Thought to Ap- parei for Little Misses-No
 Ideas to Copy.

It is only within the past few years that much attention has been paid to little girls clothes. In fact, notes fashion writer, in other years there were no fashions pr children. In the eighteenth century children were dressed exactly like their mothers. Even babies dresses were made of vel vets, overlaid with elaborate and frilly aprons. Later, froeks for little people were really grotesque, making their small wearers look like caricatures.
 Then they became very plain, and for some time there has been little change in them. This shows us that there is very little for us to draw upon Tn children's fashions. There are no ideas to copy, so that now. when a great deal of attention Is being paid 10 them, they require much of the de- signer's thought and skill. To be diff rsrent at all, they must be purely orig

So let's forget about the old days and mind your own mother and don't quawel,' ended the goose Eliza beth, who really talked quite sensibly !"

labor, the question of getting the nec- essary work done is becoming acute. Good cookery and dainty meals are of vital importance, but no woman who 'has soul above buttons cares to spend the best part of her time cook ing. To simplify our living at less cost of energy without too great loss of the seemingly important things is the need of the day.
 It is possible to have wholesome food and attractive desserts made with but little time. As expense must enter into the account of 95 per cent of the American housewife's plans 1t is not so easy to have things good, inexpen- sive and easy to prepare, together with variety.
 A steamed pudding, which may be made just before dishing up the din- her and allowed to steam 15 minutes, is:
 Fifteen Minute Puddtna.-This pud-' ding meets all of the qualifications, is good. attractive in appearance, not ex- pensive and Is easy to prepare. Sift cupful of four with a teasponful of baking powder and quarter of tea spoonful of salt; add half cupful of milk; beat we'll and drop a spoonful into buttered custard cups; add a ta- blespoonful or two of canned cherries, juice and all, or any juicy rich fruit; add another spoonful of the batter and place the cups in a pan. Pour in boiling water to come up halfway on the cups, cover and cook 15 minutes without uncovering. Serve with cream and sugar, poured round the unmolded pudding.
 "Its terrible brave to try to save
 A girl on a runaway horse;
 You could do that of course;
 But did you ever think of trying
 To keep from crying
 When you're tired and hungry and
 cross;
 You couldn't do that of course"

Potato Cream Soup.-Take a cupful of boiled mashed potatoes; scald one quart of milk, and two slices of onion in double boiler. Rub the potatoes through a sieve, and add the milk, re- moving the onion; put into a double boiler to heat. Melt three tablespoon fuls of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour, mix and pour some of the hot mixture over the thickening, and cook until smooth. Add to the soup with 8 little chopped parsley.
 Flashed Potatoes.-Chop cold boiled or baked potatoes into small pits. Sea- son with salt and pepper and chopped parsley. For one quart of chopped po- tatoes, add three tablespoonfuls of but ter. Beat the butter and turn in the potatoes; stir until they begin to brown, then add one-fourth cupful of thin cream, and set back to brown on the back of the stove. Fold like an omelet, and serve with the brown crust on top. Garnish with parsley. Do not put potatoes through a meat chopper for this dish, as the bits should not be at all mushy. A good hash should al- ways be chopped in the chopping bowl. Meat loaf is much better done so, rath- CT than ground in the meat grinder.
 Potato cake.-Cream together one cupful of sugar and half cupful of butter substitute; add the yolk of an egg and beat again; add one cupful of hot mashed potato, half cupful of sweet milk or cold water alternately with two cupfuls of flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Mix two squares of grated chocolate in the hot potato before adding it to the mixture. Add one-third of a teaspoon full each of cinnamon, cloves and grat- ed nutmeg and one-third of a cupful of chopped walnuts. Fold in the beaten white of the egg. Bake in a loaf or in layers. This cake will keep moist for weeks.
 Potato candy.-Bake two medium sized potatoes, and while hot remove from their skins into a warm mixing bowl. Mash until all the Jumps are removed, then add three pounds of powdered sugar. a half cupful at time. The amount of sugar will de pend upon the size of the potatoes. When thick enough to mold add favor ing, nuts, fruit or any color.

Following ter-the-War Extrav' agance in Clothes Reverse
 Reaction Prevails.
TAFFETA DRESSES IN FAVOR
Fabric Bids Fair to Be Popular for Spring Wear,-sSunannery-Look- ing Hats for Southern
 Visitors.

AS violent reaction, clothes be- came widely extravagant almost as soon as the war was over. There were a few months of readjustment while dressmakers were getting their estab- lishments back into normal working condition; but this period was sur prisingly brief. No sooner was this done, even in a limited way, than the market became flooded with an avalanche of clothes, as extravagant as any that the world has ever seen. Now we are experiencing a reverse reaction, observes prominent fash ion correspondent.
 While 1t cannot be claimed that our frocks are any less expensive than they were six months ago, they are a great deal simpler in design. There is no mistaking the indication that women want all of their dresses built on the simplest and most youthful lines. and that they will pay more for a dress of this character than one elaborated with applied trimmings.
 Season caIis for Pretty Clothes. -
 We tire, in time, of all our clothes, and now is the time when we es- ' peciafly feel the need of something fresh and different. Then, at this season, we have so many more social engagements that we like to have great variety of pretty clothes in which to appear. In both the early and late autumn this need was filled by one-piece cloth dresses and beau tiful furs. Later, these frocks were topped by coats of either cloth or fur. Now, we feel the need of suit that is completed by some sort of an at- tractive blouse. unusual enough to make the costume something quite diff ferent from the old-fashioned coat and skirt.
 A suit, by Doeuillet, was created to fill this need. Its arrival may be heralded as the most popular suit that this famous house has launched for the winter. The strong one-side move. ment and the long coat are it's fea- lures. The portion which laps across the front, buttoning under the left arm. to give semi-belted appearance, is cut in one piece with the right front of the jacket. The color combination worked out in this is remarkably pleas ing. Copper brown velours de laine is the material selected for it.
 The tendency in tailored suits is toward the use of pronounced coiors. The erstwhile popular dark blue is. for the moment, neglected. Much of this is doubtless due to the fact that in rough wool pile fabrics dark blue is the least attractive of all shades. There must be some changing depth to the color tone to bring out the beauty of the fabric; hence. browns and greens are chosen in preference to blue or black. .
 The vest and collar are of broad tail fur. although it has been made with these trimmings of the heavy plush, which is often substituted for fur this season. While the broadtail is decidedly more luxurious, the plush is most economical, and has the ad- vantage of being equally fashionable. A Juliet completes this costume with smart bodice of black satin. en- broidered in copper color. This makes the suit beautiful and practical.

ly little ducks. not knowing quite what to do, or whom to go to if they were hurt or tired.
 'But when they got to the farm and Elizabeth saw that they had no mother she took them in charge. She fed them and showed them where to find the food. She led them around all summer long and when winter came they were put together so Elizabeth could still be in charge.
 "She was always in the center and the ducks were always around her and she never seemed to scold them, but just somehow they seemed to know that they must do what she said. for she would do the right thing for them.
 ''So Elizabeth taught the little ducks all their lessons and their manners and on the winter afternoons she told them stories and she chatted in her shrill. harsh voice which sounded very lovely to the little ducks.
 And they talked to her and asked her questions and their little noisy quack-quacking sounded very sweet to Elizabeth for she had become their own mother and they were her own ducklings.
 But one day some of the chickens got quarreling and scolding and they were really quite old enough to know much, much better, for they were big chickens at this time.
 "'Tm glad you're not my charges said Elizabeth.

 "tWell. the ducks aren't your own children so why couldn't you have us. too,' the chickens said.
 "'The ducks didn't have any mother said Elizabeth, and didn't have any little ones so the little ducks became my children and became their mother so as to make all of us quite happy.

 ""The chickens hung their heads in shame, for they remembered what Elizabeth was talking about.
 "Yes, the chickens ate the cherries which fell from the trees, the black, black cherries, and their little faces became all dirty. For shame, such dirty little faces as the chickens had! My charges would have washed their faces so quickly, oh, so quickly.
 ".My charges like the good, clean water; they love their baths.

is indefinitely more practical than the ordinary chintz, as it sheds the dust easily and may be wiped off with q damp cloth. Then, if one is caught in the rain with one of these sum- mery-lookfng hats on, there is no fear of its turning into bedraggled mass of cloth, for even a rubber rain hat could shed a downpour no better.
 Quite remarkable trimming ap- pears on the glazed chintz hats. It is a fringe of straw. Although you may not be going south it is a very good idea to get some of these hats, for they are most attractive and in the hurry of getting ready for an exodus from town in the spring it is not always easy to find just what one wants in country hats.
