USING ORANGE
RINDS

IA MOST housewives regard the
MI rind of AN orange as use
AVA less, and speedily consign
1t to the garbage pail. In SO
doing they are discarding a fine
substitute for spices, and also a
wonderful fruit extender. both OF
which may be conserved for fu-
ture use.
Before using the pulp OF
oranges, take very sharp knife
and carefully pare off the yellow
rind without disturbing the white
part. Then remove the white
part, and dry each separately in
a cooling oven.
When perfectly dry, the orange
peel is easily powdered by using
an old-fashioned coffee. mill, or
a mortar and pestle. The yellow
part makes a fine substitute for
spices or other flavorings. and
people who are unable to eat
spices find the yellow orange
powder harmless. 1t also makes
an excellent blend with spices
in buildings and cakes.

HE FOLLYs or a FALSE IDEA OF POSSESSION

ybur fiancee likes to dance with
other men-it is the right Of
any human being to express
himself honestly and decently.
BY demanding all the attention
and time Of another you seek to
enslave him or her.
The normal instinct of free

Don't forget that. Don't try to
establish claim to another per-
sons soul For the moment you
insist on your right to govern
some one else. that moment you
urge to the surface OF the other
persons mind the normal de-
sire to prove that he is a free
human with the right to express

I times we ordered Tom to leave

heard about the Turks unhappy

crowded out Of Europe overnight.
All that was some decades ago,
yet still he sticks around;
although. men say his pulse is
slow. his appetite's unsound. It's
strange how long one has to wait
for feeble chaps to pass; no doubt
Saint Peter at the gate shakes up
Times hour-glass. But, though
the Turk has struck cog in
winding up affairs, he keeps old
old Europe all agog with fetching
him repairs. I'm glad the broad
Atlantic lies between his realm
and ours to dull the roar of spats
that rise about those Turkish bow

the brink, his prospects all are
black, yet strangely oft he makes
me think how Tom kept coming

FROCKS FOR.
CHI IDREN.
By Rita s3tuyvesant

> : s
AVE you ever considered
how bit Of gay stitch
" cry will lend color and
charm to the simplest of kiddie
frocks? It lifts the plain little
frock from the commonplace to
the distinctive. The embroidery
need not necessarily be elaborate,
for it is the simple stitches,
conventionally designed, that give
the correct note.
The dark-haired youngster un-
der twelve will look well in a
frock of tan linen, with collar,
embroidered in shades of yellow
and touches of black. The frock
is "a. straight one-piece affair,
made to hang fun from a shall
low yoke and showing puff
sleeves. There is a deep tab
collar that comes down over the
front of the frock in three sep
arate sections, and little turn.
back cuffs. It is on these that
the embroidery is traced.
One might develop this inter-
esting little frock in many other
color schemes, such as French
blue linen and embroidery of
black silk. Or apricot linen
might have tab collar Of gray
linene and embroidery of French
blue and black
Another attractive frock with a
Russian note is made of wash
able crepe in pink, French blue,
orchid, raize, lettuce green, april
cot, peach, burnt almond, rose,
flame or cream. This peasant
frock is trimmed with bands of
embroidery, running straight up
and down to outline a broad
panel, front and back, and con
tinuing around the oval neck and
short sleeves. The frock is cut
with bell sleeves in one with the
body, and the bottom is inclined
to flare in true Russian style. A
deep hem, hand done, is used at
the bottom, and the embroiderY
uses all sorts of gay colors and
combines them most effectively
in small trailing design. A bit
OF black now and then lends in.
dividuality.
For boy of six there is a
smart Russian blouse suit Of wool
jersey. This suit consists of tiny
step-ins and a smock that comes
almost to thickness. The Wound
neck is slightly shirred, and there
is a square yoke of cross-stitch
embroidery to decorate the front.
Long sleeves with stitched cuffs
are featured.
