Fauorite Recipes of
Prominent Women
BY EDNA VI. COLMAN.
Corn Bread.
BERNIE BABCOCK,
Little Rock, Ark, Author.

Born with a literary gift that found
expression in verse from the age Of
years. Bernie Babcock did not make
serious attempts at writing until
after her marriage. at IS. She wrote
a temperance story. which sold In six
months to the extent OF 100000. Left
a widow at %, with five small chill
dren clinginG to her skirts, she was
faced with the necessity OF producing
bread, butter and baby shoes with un-
failing regularity. Being possessed
of a full measure of clean grit, she
did it, Another temperance story, be-
cause of its thrill and pathos, had
such wide circulation that 1t has
been credited with aiding the cause
OF prohibition in several states.
For a number of years Mrs. Bah
cock served on daily paper as tele-
graph editor, book editor, society
editor. special news reporter and edi-
torial writer. She is also founder and
editor of the Arkansas Sketch Book.
With all of this regular work. she
has, up to date, more than a dozen
books to her credit, several of which
have attained international reputa-
ton and foreign publication. She has
also several plays, numerous short
stories and verse. She is a member of
various literary organizations, and is
second VICE preSlQenl OF the League
Of American Pen Women.
Mrs. Babcock is a typical home
woman. The only kind of corn bread
she ever eats is what she makes her
self in this manner. She says:
"In a bowl 1 beat fresh egg and
half a cup of sugar. To this add
about two cups of sour milk well
beaten and sweentened with soda.
Into this liquid 1 stir enough meal,
into which two teaspoons Of baking e
powder and half a spoon of salt have
been sifted, to make a medium bat
ter. My long, shallow bread pan has
already been put on top of the stove
and half cup of lard put in to melt.
This lard l run around the sides and
then pour it, after giving my batter
last vigorous beating, into the bat
ter, beating il in. This method Of
using shortening is an old Southern
one, and seems to make the bread
better. Then I pour the batter into
the pan and bake fer about half an
hour, until the top Is golden brown

Requirements in Buying Hosiery
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

If you would be 1.-THE in step, easy
In body and we'll appearing 10 foot

rectly.
There is a tendency with persons
who have occasional discomfort with
their feet to blame the shoes they
wear. Perhaps it is the stockings
that are at fault. When there is
trouble, unless there is something
actually the matter with the feet,
badly fitting shoes or stockings are
the cause 1t is important to dis
cover which, put the blame where 1t
belongs. and then remedy it. Let US
consider the Importance of hosiery
in footease.
The necessity Of having correctly
fitting stockings is not emphasized
enough from the viewpoint of com
fort. When it comes to the appear
ance of trim fitting hosiery few un-
derestimate 1t. 1t is possible, how
ever, to have the footwear look good,
but be extremely uncomfortable. 1t
is only when good looks and COM
fort are united that hosiery is right.
Hosiery That is Short.
Stockings that are too short IN the
feet will cramp the toes and max e
the wearers miserable. Changing the
stockings is seldom considered for
relief, but changing shoes Is. When
the hosiery is TO blame, relief will
not come with taking on the shoes.
That is not sufficient
Too Long.
1t is quite possible to have hosiery
too long instead of too short in the
feet. They fold over the toes just a
trife. Creases from that are annoy
ing. Wriggling the foot may alter

merely shifts the discomfort to an
other place. Creases in stockings are
a decided cause for pain. In the
olden times walking on Jagged sur
faces was a. form of torture. To
walk with folds and creases in stock
tnEs is a modified form of torture
that is sometimes heedlessly self i'm
posed through lack of. appreciation Of
the cause of the trouble.
Full Fashioned.
The sensitiveness of some persons
feet makes full-fashioned stockings
uncomfortable because of the seam
under the soles. Such cases are rare,
fortunately, but If they exist semi
fashioned stockings should be worn
These may be found that fit almost,
not indeed quite, as well about
the ankles as the full fashioned
models. Very sheer, soft silk stock
ings may perhaps be worn with the
underseam when heavier silk, isle
or cotton could not be.
Loose Fit.
When buying stockings it is well
to select loose-fitting ones, that will
be large enough for the toes to have
ample room. Such size will last
longer than snug-fitting hosiery. The
latter will be likely to prove too
tight when washed and therefore
cause suffering. See that the ankles
are shapely, especially If you have

HOW 1T STARTED
The Steerage.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

With the advent of the new white
collar third class, steamship compa-
nies are trying to get rid of the word
"steerage," which, they say, doesn't
mean anything anyway, being relic
of the days when immigrants actually
travelled aft, whereas today the steer
age is forward on the vessel.
But the steerage itself has a his
tory. It started first class - for the
early ships which carried immi gra mt s
to promised lands had only one class.
And, paradoxically, today's steerage
is a haven of luxury compared to its
first ancestor, which was literally
first class"
Today's steerage passengers get
well cooked food, sanitary and COM
Portable quarters with individual beds
and crisp linens, so clean and COM
Portable, indeed, that all Summer
ships were chartering their steerage
accommodation to groups Of stu
dents and teachers who wanted to go
abroad on slim pocketbooks.
What showing against this by the
first class" or original steerage, of
the Mayflower and even the old sail
ing ships Of the forties and f1fties,
when the immigrants took their own
bedding and food aboard, and the ship
provided a great kettle, into which
each family dropped it's net of pota-
toes, holding them by a string until
they were boiled
In his American Notes" Charles
Dickens describes a trip to America,
and tells how the milk for the chill
dren had to be taken aboard in the
form of a COW. That was in the
forties OF the last century The steer
age of today has decidedly better ia
cilities.

go for nothing. He would catch all

and chickenpox. So the best thing to
do was to keep him by himself, inside
his own fence.
When he became of school age

disorders, so she thought II better for
him to be taught at home. A teacher
came TO the house and Jamie learned
from her how to count and read and
fold and draw patterns in little
squares. He took exercise in the park.
He walked beside the teacher and
sometimes she tossed a ball to him

that the dirt might make him i'll.

picked out good boys school and
sent him there to live with the other
fellows. And he couldn't do It
He couldn't do a thing they did. He
couldn't play, he couldn't work, he
couldn't even eat with them. At night
he cried himself to sleep and rose
again IN the morning to drag himSel IL

afraid to try the first easy steps and
the teachers were troubled to know

What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Capricorn.

Very good planetary aspects pre-
vail until a short time before noon,
favoring all new lines of endeavor
requiring activity of thought and exc
cution. Thereafter, and until dusk,
q period ensues in which there may
be misunderstanding, confusion or
negative physical conditions. From
then on the vibrations stimulate ag-
gression, both constructive and de-
structive, according to the use made
of the mind. 1t will be found that
any well directed and carefully delib-
Grated plans, if launched during this
time, will fructify, and all social en-
tertainment or family diversion will
be crowned with success
A child born today will cause, on
physical grounds, lot of worry and
anxiety during the infantile period.
Under proper treatment however. this
child will recuperate just as quickly
as 1t falls sick, and given regular nu-
triton and as much out-of- door air
as possible, it will develop into a
healthy and outstanding youngster.
Characteristically, it will be positive,
abrupt and sometimes precipitous in
it's actions. 1t will do things i'm
pulsively. 1t should be encouraged
to marry wisely, early in life, SO that
a suitable mate may act as a balance
wheel. 1t will be capable of a great,
strong love.
If today is your birthday you
should restrain your inclination to be
exactiug and dominating, and you
should not give away to anger You
think a great deal of the opinions of
others, ind always try to make a
good impression. If not already mar
ried, you should do so as early as
possible. Unless the mate you choose,
or have already chosen, is one of
sufficient character to stimulate your
ambition and keep you always at your
best, your domestic life will be, or is,
unhappy.
You, although bossy, do not possess
the qualifications of q leader, and the
desire without the ability makes you
resort to domineering-a very poor
substitute for leadership. You are
altogether, both by speech and
action, too much the slave of conven-
tionalities and, always afraid of of
Tending the susceptibilities of others,
whose good opinion you desire, you
are afraid to be natural, and your
friends often criticize You for your
apparent insincerity. The world to-
day has very little use for a modern
Vicar of Bray" and always has a
wholesome admiration for the one
who has honest, deep convictions and
is not afraid to voice them.

girls who wear short skirts become
neither criminal nor perverted
We read with perfect composure
that in Paris some of the skirts are
as much as Is or Is inches of the
floor. Interestingly enough it seems
to be the skirt with a fare that calls
for this degree of abbreviation, while
the straight scant skirt can be worn
a trifle longer
In the sketch is shown a model
with the new, very short skirt.
AS far as good style in this country
goes, 10 inches from the ground VIII
doubtless be short enough for some
weeks to come. There are and al
ways will be doubtless women who
cling faithfully to the longer skirt,
and you may feel that this is wise
idea for the woman whose ankles are
not well shaped. AS a matter of fact,
the woman with ankles little thicker
than she would like to have them is
apt to be of large, heavy proportions,
and the skirt that is longer than
other women's is very apt to give her
the very hesviness that she had
hoped to avoid. When you see a
woman who is not really old wearing
a decidedly long skirt, 1t is the most
natural thing in the world to assume
that she follows this mode to hide
clumsy ankles.

Little Joe didn't scold that young
