Redbud.

Japan has her cherry blossoms. but
America boasts It's redbud trees, and
for sheer joyous color and the very
spirit of Springtime rapture, they
need admit no equal among the
Spring flowers of any land. Up hill,
down dale, they are trumpeting their
beauty all over Virginia and Mary
land
The lowliest cabin In this month is
suddenly glorified by the redbud at
its door. The leafless woods are
vivid with 1t. Not even the peach
blow, which comes to compete in the
same weeks, Is so exultantly beau
tiful. Even the city districts have
their share. The White House
grounds and jackson Park boast
their redbuds, too.
Sometimes they call II Judas tree"
This Is an Old World name. applied
to a related species Of the Mediter-
ranean world. especially the Holy
Land.
Early Christians believed that once
the redbud's flowers were white
Then, after Judas had betrayed the
Lord and went to hang himself on
the boughs of one of these trees, the
flowers suddenly turned the color of
the traitors blood.
. But redbud Is not the color of
blood, 1t is a dainty purple-red. And
the association with Judas is too
gloomy to be fitting for SO innocent
and graceful a little tree as Is the
redbud when it spreads abroad the
joy Of its blossoms in this lovely
month

used by many of the leading sport
wear dealers without the old word
sweater.
This seasons coat sweaters are of
medium length, coming just below
the hips, long -sleeved and with
straight, collarless opening. They are
fastened with six or so small buttons
down the front. The sports woman
wears such a sweater with separate
sport skirt and a blouse, with turn
down collar of the high or Buster
Brown variety. With this collar she
usually wears a neat four-in- hand
tie. Quite frequently she leaves the
upper three buttons unfastened, per-
nitting more of her gay necktie to
show. The woman with instructive
good taste in dress does not wear
4 sweater and lace-trimmed blouse
nowadays, but chooses one of the
simple mannish. sort The jabot
blouses. edged with Irish lace, arc
worn with cloth suits-not with the
sport sweater.
The slip-on is of several sorts
Sometimes il is made with simple
V neck. Well liked this Spring are
the Slip-ouS that open part way, do
Ing away with buttons and button
holes. These are made with collars,
like mems notched coat collars, save
that they have no notches.

Twentieth Day.

AREQUIPA, Peru, February II
Around and around. in and out, but
always upward, goes the ferrocarril.
Soon the river in the Tambo Valley
comes into view strip or Eden
amidst Sahara-a long brush stroke
of green on q barren canyas-Vivid
testimony to the fatal fact that all
Peru needs is drink of water TO
make her domain Il paradise.
Upward and onward we go among
the burning mountains. which have
not tasted a drop Of rain in a thou
sand years, until the highland desert
OF La Joya comes into view. Looking
backward we can sometimes see the
silvery sheen of the Pacific glistening
in the descending sun some so miles
away.
Spread before us are the famous
walking half-moons of La Joya. They
are crescent shaped sand dunes about
100 feet in width and Is feet in
height, and of such exact shape that
no human agency could mathemati-
cally make them more perfect than
the constant winds OF this plateau.
This unfailing Wind is the true ex-
PLANTATION of the dunes creep
across the desc in a true northerly
course at an even rate of so to 60
feet a year.
The wind, always from one direc-
tion, blows the ashen-colored sand
up the convex side of the crescent,
whence it drifts down into the hol-
low side in such perfect and regular
fashion that the entire dune seems to
creep across the plateau without a
single variation in size or shape, and
with a movement that marks the
years with the same accuracy that
an ur-glass marks the hours.
One has to look back but half a
mile to see where a dune was so
years ago, when this railroad was
being built: and IL you will look back
five miles you can see where 1T was
when the Inca sent messages to his
people that strange white men with
hair on their faces were coming up
from the sea-
am travelling the same road that
Pizarro trod when these very dunes
were some miles back. How I ad-
mire that villainous old fellow. What
man he must have been! Imagine
the audacious courage of him!
The Spanish government had dis
patched two vessels to the little is

land of Gallo, off the coast of Ecua-
dor, where PiZarro and his expedition
had stranded, with implicit instruc-
tions to bring back every Spaniard
they should find still living in that
dreary abode. However, Pizarro was
not looking for succor-but success!
Drawing his sword, he traced d line
with it on the sand from east to
west. Then, turning to the south,
Friends and comrades" he said, "on
that side are toll, hunger, nakedness,
storm, desertion and death, on this
side, ease and pleasure. There lies
Peru with it's riches; here, home and
poverty. Choose, each man, what
best becomes a brave Castilian. For
my part, go to the SOUTH
SO saying, he stepped across the
line.
Thirteen followed him.
And the boat sailed away, leaving
this handful of men, without food
without clothing, almost without
arms. without knowledge of the land
to, which they were bound, Witllou,
a vessel to transport them to the
mainland. Here, on lonely rock In
the ocean, they remained with moth
ing but their avowed purpose of car
rying on a crusade against the great
empire of the Incasi
The glistening crescents of sand
have travelled many miles since the
days of PiZarro and his valiant crew
and they will travel many miles
before we see their like again.

Endives Like Asparagus.

Choose some young, tender endive =
that are free from hard outer leayes
and which have whole heads. Wash
them as YOU would wash lettuce headg.
and boil them for half an hour in wa trr
TO which .. littlo salt has been added
Drain them, then cover them and keep
them hot. Boil somn eggs until thu
are hard. Allow half an egg to each
person. Allow one tablespoonful of but
ter and one scant tablespoonful of potato
flour TO each person to be served
Smooth each portion of potato flour IN
one teaspoonfUl Of cold water Melt The
butter and add it to the flour and water
Stir the mixture and heat IT. Then perl
the eggs and cut them in halves length
wise. Serve the endives on a hot plat
ter garnished with the eggs and with
the butter sauce. Allow two heads or
endive to each person. The egg should
be mashed in the butter sauce and the
endiye dipped i'll the mixture before II
is eaten. Do not waste the water in
which you have boiled the endives. II
will make delicious soup. Thicken st.
with mashed potatoes or with slightly
Drowned flour and a few slices Of onion
Drowned in butter. Just before yt1u
serve the soup add a little cream Or

Aries.

Tho planetary aspects tomorrow
are not so definite as those of today
but they are benign and favorable
1t may not be an ideal opportunity
for the launching of any new enter
prise or undertaking, but the condi-
tions will help to materialize efforts
made by you to develop any plan on
which you have already embarked
They will serve to encourage q course
of continuity, and will create an at
mosphere free from doubt and un-
certainty. The effect upon the nat
ura emotionsl will be clearly shown,
and a feeling of responsiveness will
be engendered that augurs we'll for
both engagements and marriages.
A child born tomorrow will be sub
ject to the ordinary viciSsitudes of
infancy. but these ailments need
cause no alarm, provided the child be
properly nurtured and watched. Its
disposition will not be very attrac-
tive, as 1t will be rather callous and
inconsiderate OF others. It's charac-
ter. while not repellant, will be moro
selfish than generous, and it will
never lose sight of or be prepared to
sacrifice its own individual interests.
1t will, in all probability, enjoy a
large measure of material success,
as, once 1t starts out to accomplish
anything. nothing will stop 1t until
the goal is attained.
If tomorrow is your birthday, your
motives are altruistlc, although your
actions do not often deserve this
classification. The impulses that ami
mate you are very good, but they are
rarely expressed in action, as you
apparently lack the courage or con-
viction to do what your better nature
teaches you. You are impatient and
argumentative. You are never salts
fed unless you have the last word,
and will often take up the cudgels
for something or some cause with
which you do not agree, in order to
start discussion, You have many
friends, and could have many more
but for this obvious failing.
You are full of energy and very
sure of yourself, and are always con-
vinced your way is not only the right,
but the only. way. In your love af
fairs YOU are impetuous and hasty,
and have more than once had cause
to regret your lack of deliberation.

date are: Mary Pickford, movie star;

Peanut Cakes.

Remove the shells and skins from
some roasted peanuts and II conyen-
fence in eating is especially desira BILE,
divide each nut In half, but the brittle
cake that shows the whole nut is
better. Then put two hesping table
spoonfuls of butter and the juice of
one lemon in one quart of New Or
leans molasses and boil it with care
full stirring until it threads. Take the
pan from the fire and add the nuts,
mixing them well with the molasses.
When the mixture is chilled enough
to permit its lying fairly well where
1t is put, drop 1t by light tablespoon
fuls in sections along fiat buttered
tin. The time for eating the cakes is
when they have become as brittle as

of old white marble for the chilling
purpose. This is a great Southern
