Firsts? Seconds? Job Lots2

The flower man was sorting lilies
Of the valley for the market. Rapidly
he laid them in three distinct piles and
soon l saw that in one pile only perfect
flowers were laid. the second pile were
not quite so good, the third pile got
what was left
The first are as near perfect as
flowers can be- said he. You see
their fine sturdy stems. They have
perfect bells from stalk to tip, none
broken or twisted or dwarfed. Their
color is perfect too. no spots, nothing
TO tinge the lily wilderness.
The seconds aren't SO bad. but they
are little bit under standard. Now
this one is Il bell short. and this one
has "a curved stalk and this one wont
open all the way to the tip. They
thin. some stout. not just right like
the perfect ones.
The third pile Is the job lot I'll
be lucky to get anything for them.
See. they're short OF long and skinny
where they ought to be full of bloom.
They have a little smell though. You'd
know they We're meant to be lilies of
the valley. but that's about all They re
just job lots Flowers that didn't
make good.
That's the way teachers feel
along about promotion time. We have
krted the pupils out and we stack
leir cards in the piles. and the first
lass ones are fewer than we like to

you must surely know If you
have been a close observer of fash
ions. Any fashion-let US say ber-
thas. monkey fur, beaded bags-has
tremendous run. Smart women
adopt it, then Everybody" adopts It.
1t is the rage, 1t becomes overpop-
ular and is abandoned by the dis
eliminating, and goes along as one
OF the fashions run into the ground.
Then sudde MY, for no very good rea'
son, the discriminating few snatch II
back for a season of favor. 1t was
so with periwinkle blue. That color
was smart and then very quickly
went from the exclusive millinery
shops to the bargain easements. IL

avoided it as you would have avoided
stale Stag or yesterdays giddle cakes.
Then quite Unexpectedly it reappear-

abundantIy. but here and there, en-
loving a short season of very dis
eliminating favor.
The same thing seems to be going
on with the bertha. 1t was fashion
that ragged d little over two years
that it was soon run into the ground.
Every one wore frocks with deep
lace berthas. Then came the period
of commonplacenes and then of OBJ
livion. And now, behold the bertha
is again smart. 1t appears on many
of the most charming lingerie or lace
frocks-this time in a rather shallow
version, but a veritable bertha never
theless.
The bertha of the middle of the
last century was usually worn so
that the opening came in the back.
1t was described as a little cape
worn low on the shoulders and put
on backward. Now there is L ten
dency to have an opening in the
front. The bertha of the moment
is usually quite narrow and usually
rather skinny. A light figured
crepe frock of French origin shows
Il shallow bertha. open in front, and
made entirely of the printed crepe
OF the frock. Another summer frock
from France is of white crepe en-
broideded in vivid colors. finished with
straight, brief little bertha of Or
gandie-likewiSe open in front.
The sketch shows a frock of white
net over pink satin. There is bertha
of net edged with rows of narrow
lace.

Recipes of Well

MRS. ROYAL s. COPELAND.

MRS. ROYAL S. COPELAND.
Wife of Senator Copeland Of New York.
1t has been difficult for the gossips
of the National Capital to reconcile
themselves to the fact that Mrs. Cope
land shuns the spotlight and that she
is perfectly content to bask in her
husbands reflected glory. Particu-
larIy has this been cross since the
senator has doomed large upon the
political horizon as Democratic
presidential candidate.
When they first came to Washing
ton Mrs. Copeland was accused of
having designs upon the extra avolr-
DUBOIS of some of the ladies of the
Senate and of planning to establish
in their midst regular physical cul-
ture classes, like those conducted by
her husband. But Mrs. Copeiand soon
set that rumor to rest by sm1llngiy
denying all claims to especial achieve
ments save the SOCIAL graces which
are too apparent to make d denial
Mrs. Copeland gives the following
from her store of valued recipes used
in her housekeeping days:

One egg. half cup molasses. one and
a half cups -four, one tablespoon
melted butter, one teaspoon soda dis
solved in hot water, five tablespoons
sugar. Mix together and steam for
one hour in double boiler. Serve
with the following sauce, which Mrs.
Copeland calls the best part of the
pudding:

at all,
Here's the way to do it,. Take any
neatly folded newspaper Except the
limp little fOur-page country paper
one sometimes meets, and roll it
snugly from bottom to top, rs tightly
as possible, smoothing out the bulky
angles at the folded end. In fact, if
you want d particularly we'll bal

upside down before rolling. SO that
the fold comes at eac end OF the
roll. Now wind piece OF stout
string around and around the center
of the roll, Fastening it i'll a hard
knot, and leaving the two ends to
form loop by which the hanger may
be suspended from the closet hook.
VOLTA. Isn't that easy? Yet the
stiff roll supports the heaviest gar
ment-except, perhaps, mans winter
overcoat-and bends just enough at
the center to slip comfortably into
the shoulder of any gown or blouse.

all when going on trip. They
merely fill up her trunks, she says
and add to its weight. Except for
the hangers in her wardrobe trunk
she doesn't take any. She depends
upon newspaper hangers altogether.
These improviSed hangers are espe-
cially convenient for train or boat

Frozen Cheese.

To eight ounces or one cupful of
soft. rich, cottage cheese add one
cup of heavy cream whipped with
one-fourth teaSpoonful of salt, Il lit
tie white pepper and. if You wish
six draps of tabasco sauce or Il lit
tie cayenne pepper. Beat the cheese
and cream altogether until thoroughly
mixed, then freeze the same as you
would any cream mixture. A little
spinach juice may be used to give a
green tint or few drops OF red
coloring matter, such as Il spoonful
of red checkerberry candies, melted
in an equal quantity of hot water
will give delicate red. Many peo-
pie like to add one-fourth cup OF
more of a sharp hard cheese, such as
Parmesan finely grated, to the mix
ture of cottage cheese and cream, to
give sharper flavor Any hard
cheese of decided flavor may be
used.

Nice-Looking Elbows.

For a long time Paris threatened
to give long sleeves. Every
fashion letter announced the sleeve
that reached or even concealed the
wrist, every Paris house put out at
least one model to give truth to the
announcement. Then the designers
decided that after all there was
nothing more attractive than nice
looking arms and nice looking ell
bows, and anyway it was summer
and hot as Well, so off came every
vestige of Il sleeve. The latest tai
lored suit that / have seen from the
fashion center consisted Of d sleeve

When You Cook With a "Fireless
Cooker"

How can the fireless cooker cook?
That is the riddle the average shop
per asks the hardware man when she
first contemplates supplementinG her
old stove with a fireless cooker. And
il is true that unless she understands
the principle by which the fireless
cooker operates the housewife can
never know the essentials for which
she should look in selecting one.
Now the basic principle of a hreless
cooker is retention of heat by inSu-
1ation-the surrounding Of the walls
with materials that will not conduct
heat; materials which in d refriger-
ator shut heat out and in fireless
cooker shut it in. 1t is not literally
true that the 'fireless cooker" cooks
without fire. for heat must be first
applied on the stove. and the cook
ing is finished without further heat
because the cooker retains that
which has already been applied. The
insulating materials used are uSu-
ally mineral wool, cork, asbestos and
excelsior. all poor heat conductors.
The parts of the cooker. besides
these insulating layers, are the pad

Your Home and You
The Improvised Dress Hanger
BY HELEN KENDALL.

No matter how many folding dress
hangers you may put into your trunk
upon starting off for trip or sum-
mer vacation. you are sure to fall
short of them when you settle down
in your room at the hotel or the cot
tage you have taken for the season.
There is always an extra garment
someway. that you hadn't allowed
for. Perhaps you have bought new
gown at the shop on the boardwalk;
or Friend Husband has picked up an
other Palm Beach suit en- route. Your
wash frocks take up much more
hanging space than you had figured
on, and even your wardrobe trunk
with its special hangers, isn't accom-
modating enough.
For such emergencies as this, the
improViSed newspaper hanger not
only fills the bill. but fills the sleeves
and shoulders of coats. gowns and
blouses. If you can get hold of d
