RegimentaI-Striped Scarfs

Mems neckwear reminds one eomIeaIIy or the Orchestra of three pieces" composed of piano stool and cover. It has but three primary pat terns-the stripe, the plaid and the spaced or floating figure Notwithstanding the myriads of designs you see in scarfs. all belong to one of these groups. This excludes solid eolors which, having no contrasting effect, cannot, of course, be considered as q pattern. To such limited lat- tude in treatment is tfaeeable the continuing vogue of designs like polka dots and regimental stripes which never come into fashion, because they never go out of fashion. They reeur as regularly as the seasons.

DO YOU KNOW

l. That one egg Is equal TO four
tablespoonfuls-this may help when
yow have either yolks or whites left
and you want some way of measuring
a part of them. Measure in cup.
O. That one cup equals sixteen
tablespoonful.
8. That one tablespoonful equals
three teaspoonfuls.
4. All measurements should be level.
3. More accurate measurements are
obtained, when a part of spoonful
is required, by making the division
lengthwise rather than crosswise of
the spoon.
6. Flour is stirred more easily into
a liquid by using salad fork.
z. That there are four general
classes of white sauces and the proper
tons of -four and liquid determine
the use.
(a) Thin white sauce is made by
using one tablespoonful of -four to one
cup of liquid. 1t is used for cream
soups. o
CD Medium-Two tablespoonfuls
of -four to one cupful of liquid, used
for creamed vegetables and gravles.
(c) Thick-Four tablespoonfuis of
-four to one cupful of liquid. used for
croquettes.
I'D Very thiek-six tablespoonfuls
OF -four to one cupful of liquid, used
for souffles.
While sauces often have a pasty
taste which is due to insufficient cook
ing of the starch,
very important consideration in
the cost of oils is the kind of con-
tainer in which they are purchased.
Olive oil, for example. has been shown
to cost three times as much when
bought in four-ounce bottle as when
bought in quart can.

MACDONALD TO CHANGE
PREPARATION PROGRAM
Would Take Application of Dawes
Plan Out of Hands of Com
mission.

London-Premier Theunis and For
eign Minister Hymans of Belgium ar
rived in London on the second of the
visits they are paying to France, Eng
land and Italy for the purpose of as
pertaining the views of the Allied
Governments for making the Dawes
plan effective.
Fresh from Paris, the Belgian ennis
saries, who are assuming their old
role of go-betweens in the Allied ne
gotiations, will be able to speak Pre-
mier Poincare's mind as well as their
own when they meet Prime Minister
Macdonald at Chequers Court. In re-
turn they will hear the British thesis,
which, while not new, indicates an
outcropping of the old AnglosFrench
differences, forgotten since the Brit
ish resigned themselves to the occu-
patton of the Ruhr.
Mr.. Macdonald, it is understood,
will inform the Belgians that the Brit
ish Government would like to see the
business-like beginning which the ex-
perts made continued in carrying out
their recommendations, and therefore
will propose to the Allies when the
proper time comes that application of
the experts proposals be taken out
of the hands of the Preparations Com
mission as far as is possible and put
into effect in a new Allied agreement
with the Germans, which could be OBJ
tanned by direct negotiations.
According to the British view, the
negotiations should take the form of
new international conference. 1t is
believed here that the result would be
a business agreement, unhampered
by bitter feelings, for the problem
would be handled as one between
debtor and a creditor instead of be-
tween the victor and the vanquished-
That such a plan is likely to be ac-
ceptable to Premier Poincare at the
present time is not suggested by the
British observers, who declare they
know what is in Mr. MacDonald's
mind 1t is known that the French
favor turning the experts plan in it's
entirety over to the Reparation Com
mission to carry out as it sees fit.
