Quickly Made Soups.


The housekeeper who has, a gas,
electric or oil range in her kitchen
may congratulate herself that she
does not have to have coal carried up
from the cellar and take out ashes
but she must also think rather re-
gretfully of the advantage a coal
range presents in cooking foods
which require hours upon hours of
simmering. 1t costs so much to make
these things on any but a coal range!
Soups are one of these foods. Yet
there are some soups which can be
made in a reasonably short time. The
following cream soups are of this
kind:
Potato Cream Soup.-Put six boiled
and pared potatoes through the food
chopper if they are hard. leftover
potatoes (mash them if freshly boil
ed) and add them to one quart OF
hot milk together with one chopped
onion and salt and pepper to taste
Thicker with one tablespoon of flour
mixed to paste in a little cold water
and serve after the soup has boiled
up for few minutes.
Cream of Celery Soup.-Use the
frecipe given above with one bunch
of celery (put through food chopper
land cooked till soft) substituted for
the boiled potatoes.
Creamed-Cabbage Soup.-Cse above
recipe with one small head Of cab
bage (put through food chopper. then
boiled till sofO substituted for the
boiled potatoes. and leaving out the
chopped onion.

from a quart can of tomatoes and let
it come to the boiling point. Then

If America could not look to Paris

But the way the black and white
combination is handled this year is
different in many ways from that Of
other seasons. We once spoke of it

1t after that bird Of European habitat

We might not have to go so far
afield for bird name to give to
many of our black and white frocks
this season. Many of them possess
no splash of black against white, but
the combination is wrought by fine
tracery of black against white or
white against black.
In the frock sketched it is black
lace against the white crepe de chine.
An all-over tracery OF white embroid-
cry on black background is seen in
other new things. Then black fabric.
or wooden beads are used on white
and white beads on black.
Perchance the little native downy
woodpecker would be a better bird
for whom to name this type of black
and white combination. He shows
less splash OF contrast in using black
against white and. what is more, he
shows a dash Of red. And black and
white plus red is one Of the good
things Of the spring.

TH HE spring and summer of life,
 1 as interpreted in suits for young and older women, meet in the picture above. Here two conceptions are shown. one of them youthful and nov el with a picturesque hint of Spain in its short jacket and handsome sash, the other dignified and conservative, exquisitely tailored, disdaining decora- tions and faultless in lines; fulfilling the exacting requirement. of mature women. Women who have reached middle life and acquired boise, are not amenable to all the whims of fash ion that lure their younger sisters. Youth may disport itself in any of the styles and carry them off. but many of these are not suited to older women. They are wise when they choose what looks best on them and, by this means, arrive at a distinction in dress that belongs to their years.
 The handsome suit at the left is made of beige-colored poiret twill. All that may be said of it is told by the camera which has not failed to pre- sent every detail in its makeup. The

This is a new feature and the regulation narrow belt, of the material, finishes it's brief story with a large and handsome ornament at the front, unexpected and unusual. Except for groups of three very small buttons set on the sleeves and be- tween the sections of the peplum, there are no other decorative details. The hat of soft milan braid, with wreath of fruit and flowers, is exactly what it should be to bear this suit company.
 Navy blue tricotine makes the suit for younger women, with side-plaited skirt and short jacket. The jacket is lined with gray silk and opens over vest of silk like the lining.

His sleeping senses seemed to wake, to recognize the object for which his ghOstIy eyes had searched the woods for weary years-a bit of red cloth with a certain face behind it. His giant frame seemed to swell with a strength tremendous. He raised the knife and leaped toward the intruder
 A giants strength, but with the dis ordered unwieldiness of a stricken mind. The knife barely grazed where it was meant to kill. Before the gray giant could recover his ponderous strength to strike again, the Red Mask had him by the wrist, and, seemingly unwilling to risk the sound of a shot, was raining blows upon his head with the butt of his heavy revolver. It was a horrible thing to see. The girl stood with laced fingers, helpless with hor- TOT. The first blow brought the blood streaming out over the white hair and disabled the old man so frightfully that he ceased the struggle and stood Quivering. But the merciless arm struck again and again until the vast frame dropped, shrank together. the knife fell from his fingers, his knees gave way and he sank grooming to the fioor-writhed. straightened and lay still.
 The revolver was foul with blood and gray hair The murderer noticed it, hastily wiped it away on a corner of the fallen mans coat, thrust 1t back into his pocket and raced the girl.
 The spell was broken. She started as if from a nightmare and sprang back of the chair. Like a man pressed for time, he dashed after her. With the chair between them, she managed for bare moment to keep beyond his hands. He kicked the chair out of the way. She darted toward the kitchen door, probably with the hope of escaping to the woods. but he was too close to her. She whirled toward the door of the bedroom. The turn was fatal. His hands reached her and drove her back into the corner of the room at the head of the couch.
 She fought as only woman fights for a stake infinitely higher than life itself. Since time began the earth has staged that struggle. Her dress

 The candle fingered long that night in the cabin of the three gables. The old man was more than usually rest less. The girl lowered about his chair constantly. She succeeded at last in coaxing him down in his chair, where he sat groaning; mumbling in his beard; and whetting the knife on the palm of his hand. She had smoothed the cushions behind his head and stood stroling his face with her hand. when, without the least warning, the door flew open, and. sharply outlined against the dark background of the night, a man with red mask over his face stalked across the threshold
 He was, of course quite unaware that the girl already knew his identity. That probably explained why he had put on the mask It would be impos- sible to describe the startling trans formation it wrought on his sinister face. From out of all its .nany ter TOTS the night could not have selected a more appalling one to fling into the cabin.
 The girl screamed and clung about the old man in the chair. Her scream seemed to rouse him. He glanced up. rubbed his wide, pitiful eyes. and. with a wild cry-more that of beast than man-sprang from the chair with a strength that sent the girl reeling.

"HIS season presents for the con-

To start off with. there are everyday dresses in light-cOlOred, plain chambrays and very small-checked ginghams, that have white lawn col lars and cuffs. A thin white rLck-rack Is used to finish edges of belts or decorative bands on them, or the col lars and cuffs are embroidered with tiny silk or yarn flowers.
 Besides these pretty cotton frOcks there are blOomer suits made of black taffeta silk with yarn stitching in bright colors for establishment on collars, sleeves and sometimes as finish to hens. Thsy are very simply cut, much like the dress of colored organdy shown at the left of the two pictured above.
