amount Of entertaining for them in

groups which will work, havoc with
the traditional quietude of Holy

and Holy week coincide is due,
however, not to choice but to the
fact that the bylaws Of the

in the week during which falls
April 10, the anniversary of the
battle of Lexington and plans for
the convention have been so drawn
up as to permit the religious observ-

there is little opportunity for enter

Lace and Feathers Are
Features of New Fans

There is always something new and
artistic in fans. The most elegant fan
seer. among the Paris novelties is very
large, with mother-of-pearl sticks and
q platinum loop handle set with dia-
monds. The fan itself is covered with
old-rose point lace, and at one side is
fastened spray of pale green os-
trich feathers, the shade of which is
mirrored in the pearl of the frame
work, which forms an oval as it opens.
Another fan in which one visualizes
a grand dame Of the Faubourg, is of
medium size, opens in arch form, and
is made Of exquisitely fine chantilly
lace upon a tortoise-she1 frame.
There is a tracing of fine gold on the
outer ribs, the handle is of gold and
the rivets are set with emeralds.
The handsome fans are not now COW
cred with feathers but nave ostrich
feather in sprays or delicate fringe in
terlaced with the covering, tracing a
pattern or finishing the edge. These
are fairy-like and fantastic, and add
a whimsical note to the most elabo-
rate evening toilet.

without concealing it, or by other
sprightly and more or less frivolous,
but wholly charming devices.
The bouffant skirt is managed by
wires that support materials that are
too limp or too sheer TO stand up
alone. Far from playing an unseen
part, frills and ruchings, posed over
them, seem to point with pride to their
presence in frocks of transparent ma
terials. In heavier materials they are

the under side but in taffeta, Of suf-

SUITABLE MEAL FOR
CHILDREN OF THREE
Forethought and Planning
Are of Much Importance.

{Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Many parents make the mistake Of
allowing their children to eat whatever
has been prepared for the grown MEM
bers of the family, no matter how
unsuitable it may be. Sometimes this
is from ignorance Of the results to the
child, but more often because the
mother and housekeeper feels she is
too busy to prepare special diet for
the small members Of the family.
Oftentimes part, or even all, of the
food in the child's ration may be Sc
lected from the family meals. When
unsuitable food, however, comprises
the adult menu, only a little fore
thought and planning will be needed
to enable suitable food being served
the children, according to the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
sturdiness of the youngsters will more
than compensate for the extra work.
Not only is the health of the whole
family improved, but less effort is re-

Sports Blouse as

Be Made at Home.

The blouse has become very neceS-
sary and decorative part of the ward
robe of every well-dressed woman. BY
clever planning, observes a fashion
writer in the Kansas City Star, it may
become half part of two or three
costumes, and the better thYee-quar-
tiers of several others.
You may cut the cost of the three
described in this article either by MAX
ing them yourself or by engaging a
competent sewing woman to copy them
for you
Here are three correct types: The
sports blouse, the costume blouse, and
the tunic blouse which transforms any
skirt it is worn with into very up
to-date dress.
The sports blouse may be of dimity.
This type Of blouse should be worn
only with country clothes, tailored
suit, or as part of businesslike jer-
sey or flannel dress. 1t may also be
OF English broadcloth, in which case
its scope is enlarged to include the
golfng costume and the riding habit.
The costume blouse is the most i'm
portant part of the three-piece suit.
which is worn more than ever. By
purchasing a two-piece suit you will
not only be more free in your choice of
models, but will cut the price also.
The most up-to-date model to complete
just this sort of ensemble is the mono
grammed overblouse of metal cloth,
which has been sponsored by several
of the most famous Parisian dress
makers. This blouse is expensive at
the blouse counters, put could be

Marrow Bands Used to
Trim Center of Frock

Narrow bands of solid color, so
often red bands of Chinese ribbon or
Beauvais embroidery, are used to
trim a frock down the center front
and around the bottom. Nail heads
on green leather combine admirably
with black kasha or rep. Green quite
outshines other colors this season and
even completes with black.
A fiat back is still the role and
aprons in every conceivable form trim
the front. There are limitless posi-
bilities where combination OF fab
RIGS may be employed and thus with
evening dresses the designer takes full
sway Of his imagination.
Two outstanding novelties among
recent imports are worth noting and
when we'll handled offer a suggestion
and possibility to one who wishes
to add a very new note to a straight
line frock of wool rep. The one is
merely the application of rows OF
black cire braid, about three-quarter
inches width. Alternating stripes Of
the braid applied in parallel lines with
stripes where the braid was interlaced
in simple basket weave emphasized
the pencil silhouette. The other sug-
gestion was an apron of fine braiding
on georgette III the same tone as the
dress itself. A plating Of the geor-
gette lined the cuff in mushroom style.
Sleeves, instead Of being long and
tight with flare cuff. quite often re-
veal below the elbow beige chiffon or
ecru lace and net as a sort Of under
sleeve, a putting as it were, which is
fitted in snugly at the wrist by band
of the fabric. Plaitings of net often
insert themselves along the outside
opening and from thence around the
hand to break the severity.

are cooked is thrown away, valuable
salts are often wasted. Sometimes the
flavor is not desirable, but If it is good
save this water for soup or gravy. An
even better process is to cook the
vegetables in as little water as pos
sible so there is none left to drain off,
or bake or steam them. Canned and
dried vegetables often need only skill
full seasoning to make them taste as
good as the fresh variety.
Canned corn is very good when
turned into a baking dish with the
addition of milk and seasoning added,
heated through, in the oven, and al
lowed to brown on top. Outside stalks
of celery, green pepper, or both,
chopped and added before baking, will
vary the flavor of the dish.

Milk Is Needed by All Children.
quired of the mother where the menu
for the grown-ups is kept so simple
that many Of the dishes may be given
the younger children. In this way the
need of preparing special dishes for the
youngsters under five is eliminated
At least one of the foods called for
in each meal is milk, which is needed
by all children; in others, the string
beans and the beans and the prunes,
for example, can safely be replaced by
other foods Of the same general kind.
Leaf vegetables, such as lettuce and
spinach, are particularly valuable be-
cause of the vitamins, or the growth
producing substances, they supply.
One good way to serve them is to chop
them fine, cook them in q little water,
and make a soup by adding them to
hot milk. Lettuce finely chopped can
be mixed with butter to make a sand
witch filling.
A good dinner for child Of three

small slices Il oz.) of bread or toast /;
two-thirds cubic inch or one-third

egg; one glassful of milk; four ounces
of string beans or cooked celery with
one level teaspoonful of butter or a
little cream; one-half eupful of rice
served with stewed fruit.

Make Wholesome Dessert
From Rice and Fruits

Rice nodded and served with a
sauce of fresh or cooked fruit, or hot
boiled rice served with maple sirup
or sugar, or ordinary sugar mixed
with cinnamon, also makes whole
some dessert. To mold rice it should
be cooked about ten minutes longer
than for ordinary cooked rice. Pour
1t into molds, place weights over the
top, and chin it. Serve it with fresh
gugared fruit or cooked fruits, or, If de-
sired, dried fruits, such as raisins,
prunes, figs or dates, may be cooked
with the rice and the molds served
with soft custard.
