Round Garter Regains Popularity
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Here we are back to garters again
-garters that really are garters and
60 round the leg and not up and
down. Odd when you recall that when
the straight front" corset first es-
tablished itself with its sets of hose
supporters it was hailed as a blessing
because it did away with the per-
nicious round garter. Just the other
day it was recalled by some critics
writing about the German philoso-
rher, Emmanuel Kant. whose two
Celebrated. that he ''eschewed garters
hcCauSe they restricted his circula
lion, and invented a contrivance of
his own to keep up his hose" Though
inheriting a delicate constitution, he
lived to his eightietn year. Doubt
less he felt that his avoidance of gar
ters had something to do with his
long life.
There always have been opponents
of the garter. and all sorts of ills and
discomforts have been ascribed to
rhese little devices. But though We
have become so hygienic and sensible
IN many ways, we do not seem to
trouble our heads much about the
danger that may lurk i'll Il pair of
Sarters. You may se> anywhere little
boys and girls wearing short socks
made to stay in position at the calf
by the means of little garters, or pos
sibly deeply imbedded rubber bands.
Yet no one seems to worry much
about harmful after effects.
And now the young woman who has
broken herself of the corset habit,
"r who has never acquired it if she
is very young. takes garters as
matter of course.
\ matter of necessity when one
cars no corset, they have become
an object of much adornment and
vanity. They are one of the baubles
"f dress that seem to give the light
minded young woman much satiSfac-
ton. To be quite up-to- date in such
matters YOU must change your gar
t"rS quite as often your frock.
With a tailored suit there is one sort
"f garter. for evening quite another
sort, and sport clothes demand still
another variety.

the rather important small details of

FarOrite Recipes of
Prominent Women
BY EDNA'M. COLMAN,
Chocolate Bread Pudding.
MRS. JOsEpHUs DANIELS.

Whenever Mrs. Daniels arrives in
Washington, whether for day or
week, there Is always a ripple of
pleasure among the vast throng of
friends she made while here. She
will ever be remembered for her
charming friendliness and the whole
heartedness of her hospitality.
Adored by the fighting men invalided
home, they sought her out in her
homo to present and display to her
their little gifts and their samples of
handiwork by which they were hop
ing she would be sufficiently inter-
ested to aid them in turning to a live
lihood. She never turned one away.
Mrs. Daniels says that for a home
luncheon or Sunday night supper a
bread pudding of some kind makes a
dainty and tasty dessert which is
both economical and easy to make.
For the average family the following
rule is given for this dish:
Two eggs, two squares of choco-
late, one-foorth teaspoonful salt,
four cups scaIded milk, two cups Of
stale bread crumbs, two-thirds cup Of
sugar. one teaspoonfII vanilla. Soak
bread thirty minutes. melt the choc-
olate in saucepan over hot water,
add half of the sugar and enough
milk taken from the bread and milk
to make a consistency to pour; add
to mixture with the remaining sugar,
the salt, vanilla and eggs slightly
beaten. Turn into buttered pudding
dish and bake one hour in a moderate
oven. Serve with whipped cream for
sauce.

The day after Farmer Browns Boy
decided to keep watch for hawks he
had to go away for the day. The last
thing he did before starting was to
ask his mother to keep an eye on that
henyard when she could, and espe-
cially to watch out for strange
hawk. When he returned just before
dark he went straight to the henyard
and counted the chickens. Another
was missing. The thief had been
there during the day. Then he hur-
ried into the house to ask his mother
if she had seen the thief.
Mrs. Brown nodded. Yes, SON. said
she, II have seen the thief. ! saw him
go right down into the henyard and
fly away with something in his claws.

was, but it must have been that

ST. PAUL LETTER

There is every prospect that 1924
will witness the largest number of
candidate filings in the history of the
state wide primary act. When the
close of last week over. eighty filings
for the various nominations to be vot-
ed on at the coming primaries were
registered in the office of the secre-
tary of state and every mail was
bringing in additions. The predic-
ton was that the filings would reach
the 200 figure and this does not in
clude filings for the legislature the
majority of which are registered with
the various county auditors. Natural
ly candidates with a Farmer-Labor
label topped the list with the office
of governor leading. Few Of the
names registered were familiar ones
the great majority being unknown as
far as the political and office game is
concerned. The rush this year is
sure mad one as every one with a
loose fifty dollar bill, which is the
regular filing fee, seems to be anx-
ious to climb aboard. It's equal has
never been seen. Great, oh, great is
the primary law.
In minds of many individuals at
tack on the primary law is equivalent
to political suicide. Ever since its
adoption it has been dinned into the
ears of the rank and file that its
every line spells Freedom" but if
there ever was a legislative act that
tended to a more slavish condition it
is yet to be found. The brewery
forces put it over and the so called
progressives fell for it. In close
competition for fool honors is the
no-party law as applied to the leg
islature and the various county Of
fees. It also was brewery creation
and was put over in the days when
county option was the big issue. So
far the only gubernatorial candidate
has seen fit to take decided stand
against both-is Curtis M. Johnson of
Rush City. Others privately admit
that the two are the bunk, but they
refuse to talk for publication. The
