the ladies Of the harem when we half

If we are conservative, the veil we

SOME CHARMING NEW WRAPS
, .+est Outer Garment for Spring
Wear Is Of the Coat and
Cape Type.

Charming and very smart are tne
new coats which, though very few anu
far between, are beginning to make
their appearance. One hesltates
whether to dub them coat or cape anu
compromises on wrap. which quite
satisfactorily covers them. -.
One, of French. blue, was drawn III
rather closely about the waist, anu
came to just below the knees-that ls'
the main part Of It did. This was
straight, and cut on the lines OF a
rather close cape. A smaller cape
which came to the waistline, was en-
broidered in single thread OF silver'
and close collar Of gray squirrel COM
pleted the wrap.
Equally interesting was another wrap
Of tomato red, which was cut on the
lines Of the old-fashioned circular cape.
At intervals in the fabric was woven
a wide double stripe of cream color,
which ran through the material just
above the knees. just above the waist.

surface with a tablespoonful OF brown
sugar. Lay this in the bottom of
large casserole or baking pan. Pare
and slice thin sufficient potatoes for
the family. Cover the ham to the
depth of two or three inches. Dot with
bits Of butter unless the ham has
plenty of fat on the edges. Sprinkle
with pepper and cover with milk as
you would prepare escalloped pota-
toes. Bake in moderate oven for
two hours. The ham will be tender
and delicious and can be cut with a
fork: the potatoes will be seasoned
to a turn and the family has a one
dish dinner which will serve, if the
family is small, for two meals.
Those who have prepared them say
that dried fruits make more delicious
buffers than the fresh fruit. For ap-
pie butter take the dried apples,
washed and soaked over night in cider
or water, then cook them in the same
LIQUID until tender. A fireless cooker
is good place to cook it in. Add
about one-third Of the bulk in sugar.
Cook as thick as desired; more sugar
may be added if liked sweeter. A de-
lightful change is made in blending
different f1avors such as apricots and
apples. using two-thirds the quantity of
apple to one-third of apricots.
Cottage Cheese Pie.-Melt two table
spoOnfuls Of butter; in it cook two
tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and one
half teaspoonful Of salt; add two
thirds of a cupful of honey or sugar,
one cupful of cottage cheese pressed
through ricer, the yOlks of three
eggs beaten light, the grated rind of
a lemon or orange; mix thoroughly
and turn into a pastry lined plate in
the same manner as for custard pie.
Bake until firm. Beat the whites of
three eggs light, add four tablespoon
fuls of sugar and spread the meringue
over the pie. Dredge with teaspoon
full of sugar and let cool in a moder-
ate oven until the meringue is lightly
tinted. Serve the same day it is
made.
Scotch Shortbread.-Cream one cup.
full of butter; add two-thirds of cup
full Of almond extract. Mix all together
teaspoonful Of salt, one-half teaspoon.
full Of almond extract. Mix together
and press the mixture into a shallow
pan prick with a fork and bake about

FASHION NOTES OF INTEREST

A fine black lace frock has tunic
of black ostrich fringe.
Handkerchief draped panels are chic
on a white tulle gown.
Pokes and smart bow trimmed hats
are prominent in the spring showings.
Appliques of colored leather are
seen on pumps Of patent leather.
Gray and "honeydew," shade deep
er than apricot, is a smart combina'
ton.
Leather, lingerie and colored pique
are seen in French wa1stcoats ana
blOuses.
Reports from abroad acclaim the
deeply fringed shawl as the favored
evening wrap.
Some of the new skirts shown in
Paris are only a "founce" fastened to
an elongated bodice.
Long sleeves for morning frocks Will
surely be correct. Paris sends word
of shoes with brilliantly colored heels.
While many dropping effects are
seen on the spring millinery, some ex-
tremely high effects are also proml-
nent.

upper section of the dress is made
of some lighter material than the
lower section which matches the coat,
and again the whole frock may be Of

there are to be seen these two dis

course, that flowers will be a preferred

Practical Seamen.

The old-time English sea-faring men
were trained to the service in the serv.
Ice itself. Their lessons were those
of duty from the rank of cabin-bOy
to that Of master. Such school was
likely to turn out men Of efficiency,
but not Of extensive learning. There
are many interesting stories told Of
them.
For example, there was the man
who could neither read nor write, but
who could take his vessel without
mistake from port to port. The lights
on the coast were his only books. and
his one intellectual exercise consisted
in calculating the set Of the ebb and
the flood.

Place small rings on the inside hem
of the curtains in bedrooms, have
small hooks on the side of the case
ment; the curtains may be hung by
the rings at night, securing better
ventilation and saving the blowing OF
