TO LESLIE PRESCOTT

LETTER FROM PAULA PERIER
TO LESLIE PRESCOTT
My Dear Leslie Prescott:
hope you will pardon my intrud-
ing upon your visit with your friend
Mrs. Burke. but you have heard,
doubtless. from either Mr.. Prescott
or Mr.. Whitney. that 1, hearing by
accident from your mother that you
might be persuaded to dispose Of
your gorgeous pearls, would like
much to buy the two longest strings
of matched jewels, the bracelet with
the diamond clasp and the large sim
gle pearl ring.
am prepared 20 pay $4,000 for
them. OF course. l know that they
are worth much more, but Mr.. Whit
ney thought perhaps you might sell
them for that price, particularly as
he would like to buy the remainder
of the Jewels and give them to some
charity.
jewels may seem very presumptuous
to you who are not in the least need
of money and. although l hope that
you would not misjudge in the least
any suggestions 1 might make, sure
ly l may be allowed to say was
very glad when Mr.. Whitney told
me he had suggested to you that
you could create a trust fund with
the money for your two boys.
You cannot conceive, dear Ma
dame Leslie, how I would like to
know that the money have earned
would be used for the education OF
your oldest son. / am sure IL you
conclude to let me have the pearls,
their Inflated jinx will be broken.
In the first place. you will allow me
to possess the most gorgeous jewels
of any actress in pictures today.
Think what that will mean to my
publicity agent.
You will have given me chance
to believe that ] am concerned in
the welfare of your Oldest son Of
whom / am an admirer only second
to yourself You will have allowed
Mr.. Whitney to give an enormous
sum to the philanthropic hospital
with which he is concerned.
am sure you will never regret it.

dren, my dear Mrs. Prescott, with
the consent of your husband and
your nurse, who showed me letter
from you saying that ] could see
them whenever pleased. and I
want to thank you for giving me
perhaps the greatest joy of all my
life. for the time spent in their quiet
playroom. listening to the rhapsodies
of little Jack about his beautiful

Cape Coats Promise to
~ Be Popular This Fall

Topcoats or travel coats have be-
come almost necessary, and In their
latest version are so cleverly designed
that while they fill every utilitarian
purpose they possess a style and dis
tinction never before seen in coats Of
this type.
Much of their smartness is due to
the exceptional beauty of the mate
rials, which reveal designs that range
from small geometrical patterns to
bold designs in subdued or colorful eff
fects.
In purchasing coat it is well to
bear in mind it's future use and not
select n model that has obviously only
one place in the sartorial scheme
Among the newest models are cape
coats so well adapted to the needs of
the traveller which will be found ex-
ceedingly useful as topcoats later on
in the season.
Fine Scotch woolens in striking
plaided effects are frequently chosen
for the development CT coats Of this
type and the result is excellent.
More conservative but equally at
tractive are cape coats Of wool in one
of the fashionable shades of green OF
brown that are destined for a vogue
in the coming season.

Wheat Cooked Whole in
Pressure Cooker Good

Nutrition specialists urge, among
other necessary foods, the frequent use
OF whole-grain cereals in the diet, es-
peclally in families where there are
growing children who need the Wit
aminS and mineral substances For this
reason such foods as whole wheat
breads or breakfast foods, brown rice,
cornmeal made from the entire grain,
and oatmeal, should appear on the
table at frequent intervals. The whole
grain cereals can be prepared in a
variety Of ways. The United States
Department of Agriculture suggests a
way of making whole wheat very pal
atable-cooking it in the steam-pres-
sure cooker. This makes an excellent
breakfast cereal rich in flavor and
food value.
To prepare 1t, sort the grain, wash
1t thoroughly, then cover with about
two and one-half times it's volume of
water, add salt, and cook under Is to
20 pounds pressure for a half hour or
longer if needed to make the grains
soft. A generous dish of these
thoroughly cooked whole wheat ber-
ries with milk or cream, and a serving
of fruit, smakes an ideal breakfast,
lunch, or supper. The germ and the
outer layers of the wheat grain are
rich in vitamins and minerals, while
the rest is such an excellent source of
energy for the body that wherever pos
sible people all over the world use
wheat in some form as the mainstay
of their diet

low and violet. the latter at present
extensively featured throughout every
phase of fashion.
A most unique coat is made of ex-
tremely fine white serge. Sprinkled
over the surface are large punches Of
patchwork flowers that are made of
many colored silks. Around the col
lar and cuffs are small bands OF blue,
violet and green silk, and these colors
with the addition of many others make
up the bouquets.
Fashion once more has hoisted the
blue pennant to the masthead and
sailed serenely into the mode with
this color, the old-time favorite of
years standing which for several sea-
sons has been somewhat neglected and
overlooked. In the early part of
the season 1t seemed as though there
was to be no place for navy blue, but
recent openings which launched the
| modes for late summer and autumn
confirmed the rumors afloat for some
time that navy blue was to be Of
decided Importance in the future
| modes.

FLAVOR OF ONIONS
ALMOST ESSENTIAL
Believed to Be Good Sources
of Vitan,ins B and G.

| prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture.)
To begin with, onions are believed
to be good sources Of vitamins B and
| q and fair sources of calcium. Hence
1t is well to include them frequently
In children's diet, and to accustom the
| family to the flavor of onions in such
q way that its members will not de-
velop the prejudice that frequently
exists toward this vegetable. Onion
flavor may be SO skillfully used as to
be almost unnoticeable, and yet add
appreciably to the seasoning of dish.
A slice Of onion may be scalded with
the milk and then removed before a
cream soup is thickened; few drops
of onion juice may be added to salad
dressing; bit of onion may be lightly
fried or simmered in fat and re-
moved before the meat or vegetables
that are to be cooked in it are put
into the pan. For such foods as po-
tato salad, cream of celery or potato
soup, bread stuffing for meat or fowl,
stewed tomato and some meat stews,
hashes and croquettes, onion flavor
seems to many cooks almost an essen
tial ingredient.
Either large or small onions may be
used for fiavoring. When only small
amount of onion is needed, at frequent
intervals, waste can be prevented in
the following way: Set an onion over
the top Of glass of water so that the
water touches it's lower surface. With
In few days a mass of fine white
roots will sprout down into the water
and these may be removed one or two
at time. One bulb may thus be
made to furnish a teaspoonful or so
of minced onion for many occasions.
Young spring onions are delicious
when cooked and served with butter
on toast, like asparagus When very
small, cut off and discard the tops and
boil about five minutes in slightly salt
water, cooking it down almost dry 4at
the last. When spring onions are a
little larger, 1t may be better to mince
and fry them, or slice and boil them.
II mature onions are baked rather
than boiled, they will have milder
flavor and their odor during cooking
will not permeate the house so notice
ably, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Holding them
under water while pairing prevents
smarting of the eyes. If the onions
are to be boiled, the time Of cooking
will be reduced by cutting them in
small pieces, and the onions will have
a better flavor. The water in which
they were cooked may be used for
cooking other vegetables or meat, or
put into soup.
Boiled onions may be served with
butter, salt and pepper, or simmered
I'm cream for five minutes, and then
seasoned and served.

Velvet Trimming Used
on Dress Materials

The use of velvet as trimming on
every manner of dress fabric Is one of
the high lights of the season. Velvet
flowers and appliques on chiffon are
used extensively and velvet collar and
cuff sets are distinguishing finish for
both satin and rep dresses of tailored
character.
The use Of velvet as an ornament on
cloth has tendency to give it formal
appearance, and especially In the pas
tel shades in which it is exploited is
this true. Chinese blue colorings on
navy, and pastel rose with navy are
two outstanding combinations.
One of the most direct effects of
modern art on immediate styles is the
introduction of futuristic appliques as
trimming. These colorful and
geometrical designs give gay appear
ance to the frocks they ornament and
are usually handled in a single large
motif rather than in extensive all.
