A good pudding can be made from

bread crumbs and canned rhubarb,
very little chopped lemon peel, lemon
juice and raisins with just enough
sugar to make palatable. The bread

THE HATS OF THE FRENCH.
BY ANNE RIrrENHoUsE.

Over in Paris, so letters tell, the
women have forsaken that forward
tilt of the large hat that has been
part of their method Of dress for
several years.
They are tired of concealing the
forehead and eyes, they say. They
old-fashioned bang" and they ex-
plot it by lifting the hat from the
front of the head.
They also have dropped flowers, the
letters say, and have gone In heavily
for ribbon, placing huge bows OF 1t
in front or at the back Of the crown
with short or long ends hanging.
The pose and the trimming Of the
hat gives one g. juvenile air, as of
having emerged from school. and not
yet being, sophisticated. Is lack OF
unsophistication to be the new Paris
pose, one wonders. How fascinating
and. as they would say, intriguing.
If it goes in Paris will 1t be adopt
ed over here? VIII our youngsters
who delight in being considered ex-
attitude toward the world and will
they show their usual ability to
change their spots as the leopard can
not do? Maybe.
SO far as the season has gone there
sas been no evidence that the young
SlTl lOOh, OI thS youA6 ShI US
tumery, has chance for girls. Wom-
enkind wear their clothes alike and
indulge in the same pleasures. ignore
the markings of age, and, one Is
sorry to say, have even abridged the
difference due to age from youth. One
must be old indeed to be met with
more than casual Companionship from
the youth Of this generation.
The Changes in Hats.
If the fashion for the backward
tilted hats come over here from
France it will give the hairdressers
delight. One must show part of the
hair. and that part must he in good
condition, brushed, oiled and curled.
We do not show that we have hair
under the new hats. and this fashion
is so we'll recognized that Beatrice
Hereford's stage remarks a panic
struck aside: Gee, Name. you are
showing your ear" never fails to get
an appreciative giggle from the au-
dience.
A few women tried wearing their
hats pushed from the forehead as
long ago as last winter, but the fash
ion had so few followers that 1t was
dropped. Possibly. under a new i'm
pulse it will be carried to success.
At any rate it is well to watch for
signs in this direction.
The most important sign at pres
ent that there is to be change in the
pose Of hats is shown in the place
ment of flowers beneath the brim.
This necessitates lifting up of the
hat from the head, which may be fol-
lowed by an inclination to show the

Soups for Children.

Authorities agree that soups, If
well made and not too hot, are an
excellent form of nourishment Tor
children as soon as they are off from
an all-milk diet. Soup is especially
desirable for the cold days of winter
and should be included in the dishes
served to the school child for his
midday meal. If he has limited time
for his meal then soup is especially
desirable. because it is. easily digest
ed, and, If of proper composition. con-
tains considerable nourishment with
out taxing the digestion.
If you combine dinner for your
children and luncheon for the older
members of the family in the middle
meal Of the day soup Is very good
choice. For it may serve as your
main dish, while the children may
have something in addition.
For children up to six years old
no meat should be given, and, be-
sides the nourishing soup. all they
need for the midday meal is bread
and butter and green Vegetaole,
with slightly sweetened rice or other
pudding. Three days out of the week
they do we'll to have soup. while the
other three days they might have
egg and potato and green vegeta-
BILE. Older children may take the
soup in addition to more substantial
dishes.
Now the very best sort Of soup for
Youngsters and for yourself If you
want something nourishing is milk
soup. To make a vegetable milk
soup any leftover vegetable will an
swer, such as onion. spinach, celery
or carrot 1t should be cooked very
tender and pressed through a colan-
der. Now thicken the milk with
very little arrow root, allowing lit
tie less milk than you will want OF
the finished soup. Let the milk cook
thoroughly for five minutes after the
thickening is added; now add the
vegetable pulp. season slightly with
salt and let it come to a boil and
serve at once If it is going to be
given to younger children it is better
not to add any pepper in cooking.
as the older folks can add this to suit
themselves.

BOSS RIDDEN CONVENTIONS.

a boss ridden convention. They said the San
Francisco convention would not be ruled by
bosses. And they right in both cases.
II IL not boss ridden; 1t Is boss driven. And II
is not ruled by bosses but is the abject, fawn-
ing, sychophantic, time-serving, servile puppit-
performing aggregation OF boss who is absent
but dominant to n degree never before known
in the affairs Of any party.
SO much that men whom the party has
delighted to honor throughout the past two
decades have been disciplined, humiliated,
stultifled and all but disgraced for the avowed
purpose OF Furnishing them for exercising the
right OF free speech and free thought And

flexes It's knee under the cutting lash Of de-
spotism that insists on humiliating its brightest
stars and whimpers its paens OF praie while
begging for more!
No American patriot, viewing the daily oc-
curanccs at San Francisco but must understand
fully that the one thing that stands between
America and the end OF it's dream Is the Chicago
ticket and platform. For seven years the demo-
cratic party has been reluctantly docile under
leadership that the nation believed was not Of its

A GOOD WORLD

It's a good old world and a true old world
In spite Of the wrong see,
An the naughty lips which in sneers are
Curled,
Don't steal any Joy from me;
For the selfish hearts an the cruel hands
May walk In the ways o sin,
But the bloom still comes to the clover lands
An there's peace for us all to win.
The trees stll offer their friendly shade
To the strong an the tired an faint
An the sky never asks you what's your trade
or are you sinner or saint;
The sun smiles down on us one an all.
An the rosos blossom, too.
An whether We rise or whether we fall,
The day says how-do you do?
Oh We hear so much of the good an bad,
So much In the praise a. skill
That were apt 20 think they are only glad
Who stand on the topmost hill;
But the sky bends over the humbest boy
In the way that II greets the king,
An the hand o man cannot steal the Joy
Which the days O. summer bring.
The breeze never asks about caste or creed,
An the orchards know no pride,
Though men may flatter a daring deed
An fawn at "A monarch's side;
Know nothing OF good or bad,
For they smile on all OF US travelin by
An hope that we all are glad

him to Chicago only TO meet with
disappointment, or should I caution
