Krassin Protests False Charge.

declared, was raised by the Russian
workers themselves in collections an'

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON
"BY RULE OF THUMB"

ITO SPEAK of some one as measur-
- ing by rule of thumb is to imply
slipshod methods, an uncertain, care
less, haphazard way of doing anything.
The phrase Is relic of the old GUS
tom of measuring material by the
length of the thumb. AS matter Of
fact, in almost any workroom today
seamstresses of the old school can
be found who, for lack of tape meas
use or out of force of habit, will
take measurements by the length OF
their fingers.
Nowadays it is the third finger, how
ever, rather than the thumb, that is
most popular for the purpose, and a
seamstress who was seen to use this
old-fashioned unit of measurement an
swered a remark that this could not
be very exact with proof that mate
rial held by her third finger and meas
ured back as far as the knuckle meas
ured exactly one-eighth of yard. In
this instance, therefore, "by rule of
thumb" was not haphazard or merely
approximate, as it is likely to be in
most cases, and as it is applied In the
figurative use of the phrase.

plain crepe or picoted at the edges,
make lovely additions to the after
noon frock and are the most graceful
of all accessories. The scarf at the
left of the picture is popular model.
In the realm of evening dress, scarfs
may become spectacular. Here strik-
ing color combinations and large
shawl-scarfs give them the Importance
of the embroidered shawls which have
enjoyed such a long vogue. Pink or
other high colors are chosen for
scarfs made of chiffon or brocade and
finished with wide borders of black
chiffon. But these very large scarfs
are few compared to the number of
smaller scarfs for evening wear. Sim
pie, and as pretty as any, are scarfs
of bias chiffon, picoted at the edge.
They are wrapped about the neck and
float over the shoulders

AS Told by
Irwin S. Cobb
A CIRCULATING MEDIUM

THIS story has the merit of being
4 applicable to these days although,
to the best of my knowledge and be-
lief, it originated back in the Wicked
Days prior to January, 1920.
An auctioneer's man had been sent
to a household to list it's contents.
Nothing of especial interest, either to
himself or to others, marked the
course of his labors until he had pro-
crossed so far as the dining room.
Here, following his routine, he pro-
ceeded to enumerate the furnishings
in proper order, item by item.
In his flowing professional script he
set down the tally in his book:
One mahogany dining room table.
Six mahogany dining chairs.
One mahogany sideboard.
One bottle, full.
Seemingly, then, ensued a period
when the appraiser was otherwise en-
gagged and made no entries whatso-
ever. Then, in a somewhat stray
Cling and uncertain handwriting, he
scratched out the last item and con-
Guided his labors for the day with the
following notation:
One bottle, partially full.
One revolving Turkish rug.

on each mixture of tablespoonful of
onion to three of cucumbers, all cut
into very small cubes, and marinated
with French dressing. Top with
spoonful of mayonnaise dressing. If
the onion is not enjoyed, or less is
used, add celery.
Lemon SaIad.--Prepare a package
of lemon pudding, pour into a long
shallow dish. When firm cut into
small cubes and mix with pineapple,
also cubed and little firm tomato for
color. Heap on head lettuce and serve
with maydnnaise
Tomato Aspic Salad.-Cook two
cupfuls of tomato and one onion for
twenty minutes, add one teaspoonful
of salt and two of sugar; when well
dissolved strain and add four table
spoonfuls Of gelatin which has been
softened in a tablespoonful of water !;
mix and stir until the gelatin is dis
solved. Pour into molds and serve
with shredded lettuce and mayOnnaise
dressing.
Ceylon Tomato SaIad.-Peel three
solid tomatoes, cut them into tulip
shaped forms by cutting nearly
through from the blossom to the stem
end. Place on a tender leaf of lettuce,
add teaspoonful of chopped onion to
the center of each, fill with freshly
grated coconut and sprinkle with a
tiny bit of green pepper finely
chopped. Prepare a French dressing
using the cOconut milk lemon juice,
seasoning and little olive OIL Beat
well and pour over the salad.
Tomato and Pears SaIad.-This Is
a most delightful combination; each
brings out the flavor of the other. Ar
range tomatoes cut into eighths, pears
also in eighths in alternating sections.
Sprinkle with French dressing and
then arrange on lettuce and serve with
rich mayonnaise dressing.
Cresnned Celery in Cheese She'll
Use the she'll of pineapple or Edam
cheese for receptacle. Cook celery
until tender, add creamed sauce with
a few mushrooms or a chopped sweet
bread, or oysters in season. Pour into
the shell and bake until the crumbs
covering the top are brown. Do not
have the oven too hot or the cheese
will melt and the beauty of the dish
will be spoiled. Wrap the cheese with
dampened paper or cloth to avoid
burning if the oven is overheated.
Celery cooked, served with white
sauce and grated cheese, makes a most
tasty luncheon or supper dish. Serve
baked covered with buttered crumbs.
Seasonable Dishes.

For afternoon printed and plain
crepes afford means for endless vari-
ations of the scarf-which may be
made the most conspicuous. part of
the costume. There is fad for
batik decorations on chiffon and
crepe de chine, so that anyone who
wants to take the time may have an
individual scarf made for herself and
by herself. The printed crepes, chosen
in becoming colors and bordered with

Worn with tailored clothes, scarfs
are called upon to introduce contrast
ing and sometimes vivid colors into
costumes that are usually dark or
neutral, and the pretty fashion of
matching the color of the scarf in the
hat facing and trimming continues to
flourish. Small scarfs Of bias chiffon,
tied at one side with a standing loop,
are popular, and often the entire hat
is of the same color as the scarf.
Longer scarfs of crepe cut on the
straight are wound about the throat
and looped over at the front, as shown
in the figure at the right of the pic
ture. But the manner of wearing or
tying the scarf is something for the
individual to decide upon and there

Soon patter, patter, patter made

Freddie Firefiy exclaimed. "The moon

Even as he spoke the strange sound
grew louder.
Can it be hailing?" Freddie asked
Kiddie Katydid anxiously.
'"'Oh, nor Kiddie told him. what

Locust's cousins family. They're just
beginning to arrive"
Freddie Firefiy could scarcely be-

'How did you learn all this?' Fred

That's another Of my secrets" said
Riddle katydid.
SO Freddie Firefly went off to hunt
for Leaper the Locust. He knew now
why Leaper had struggled to escape
from that mysterious messenger with
the curious message. And Freddie in
tended to ask Leaper a good mdny
questions about his cousins.
But he couldn't find Leaper any,

Freddie Firefly shuddered. 1t

passed such a dreadful night before.
But Benjamin Bat was having the
time of his life He said that he
hoped the Short-horns would like
Pleasant Valley so well that they
would decide to stay right there for
the rest Of their days. But, strange
to say, Benjamin made things as un-
pleasant as possible for the newcom-
ers. He ate as many of them as he
could, remarking that from such a
horde few would scarcely be missed.
