AN OLD-FASHIONED TAFFY PULL.

There is no better way to enliven
this New Year season than by holding
d good, old.fashiened taffy pull. Call
in some friends. gather the whole fam
lily in the kitchen and prepare for a
mighty pleasant afternoon.
Here is a good recipe that can be
relied upon to produce candy that will
pull without getting sticky. 1t is only
necessary for you to keep the room
fairly cool and to follow directions
carefully.
One and one-fourth pounds of sugar.
One and one-fourth pounds of white
strip.
One level tablespoon of butter.
One teaspoon of salt.
One pint of water.
Put the sugar, sirup and water in
a saucepan and stir until 1t begins to
boil. Then wash down the sides of
the pan with clean damp cloth and
let the mixture boil without stirring
until it becomes brittle when tested
in cold water. Remove it from the
fire Immediately and add butter and
salt. Pour 1t out on platters and pull
it as soon as it gets cool enough to
handle.
Colored fiavorings may be added to
give variety. Use strawberry for
pink taffy, lemon for yellow and mint
for green. The fiavoring should be
added a drop at a time while pulling.
Use very little butter on the fingers
to keep the taffy from sticking to
your hands.
This recipe will provide ample
candy for six or seven persons to pull.
When the pulling is completed cut it
into pieces about an inch long with
pair of scissors.

Alexander was standing quietly by.
watching the actions of the animal
and studying his traits. He saw that
the horse was frightened at his own
shadow, and he begged to be allowed
to try TO ride him. Philip at last re-
luctantly consented. The attempt
seemed hazardous for a 10-year-old
boy, especially as the experienced
grooms condemned the horse as too
vicious to be subdued.
Alexander. however, quickly turned
the frightened creature around, so he
could not see his shadow. and putting
his hand on his neck, treasured him
in gentle voice. AS the horse be-
came quiet. Alexander sprang to the
saddle and gave the horse full rein.

miration as the splendid steed flew

Having allowed the horse to tire
himself out, Alexander refined in and

proud and pleased with his son that
he embraced him when he alighted.

my son, seek a kingdom more worthy

early age of Is he put down a rising
in Greece. while his father was absent.
Later he crossed from Greece to Asia
Minor. Conquering the country, he
pressed on to Persia and Egypt, sub

to safety. Seeing Alexander safely
away from his enemies. the gallant
horse fell and died.

draped evening gowns that through
sheer simplicity will cast a. shadow
over the more elaborate evening frock
that is SO popular at the present time.
They are of crepe satin or georgette,
frequently of white, draped around
the body and caught there with a
lovely ornament or an artificial
flower.
The elaborate gowns that stand out
in such contrast to these gowns of
extreme simplicity are really of two
sorts. There are shimmering. glitter
ing, dazzling gowns that are decorated
with bugles. beads, sequins. pailettes,
spangles, metaa cloth and whatever
else the dressmakers can devise to
make an evening gown resplendent.
And there are the picture frocks.

Extremes of Simplicity and Elaboration Displayed in
RY MARY MARSHALL.

% HERE are frocks and wraps
among the new collections
shown by important dress
makers that are so simple that
when you first see them you
wonder whether they are quite nm

Won have been favored with an adj
Vanced showing and are seeing these
new models before they have received

They really are almost starkly simple

but exquisite monotone material OF

pleating, tucking and possibly little
discreet shirring provide the only
adornment.
On the other hand there are among
thu new gowns many that show a
reckless sort of elaboration. 1t seems
a. II the ornamentation of two or
three gowns had by mistake been laid
on one. Beads and bugles and sequins
mingle with lace and metal cloth.
Pearls and dianante are used to-
gether with beads of coiored glass.
As you sea the slender young model
going through her PAGES in one OF
these gowns you feel as if you might
he looking at the costume or the
daughter of some barbarian chief who
had been let loose behind an up-to-
date trimming counter with instruc-
tons to help herself. Then as you
look closer you realize that despite
the multiplicity of trimming and
adornment there is really something
quite subtle about the way these
various trimmings are combined.
So you have either type of dress
one starkly simple and the other
recklessly elaborate. The surprising
thing is not that we have the one or
the other, but that we have them
both the same season. But here they
are, with apparently no moderately
simple or slightly elaborate models in
between. And all that is left for you
to do, seemingly, is to pay your
money and take your choice.
But don't imagine that if you
choose the simpler styles you pay
less money. If you buy your clothes
at the fashionable dressmaker's you
will find that the simpler styles do
not possess the advantages-or per-
haps the disadvantag es-of lower
price. The dressmakers of the
Rue de la Paix and their followers
in this country charge as much for
their simplicity as they do for metal
cloth and bead embroidery. 1t would
be extremely unwise for them to do
otherwise. In the first place the
amount of work and time spent in
designing are probably greater on
the very simple gown than on the
more elaborate sort. Anyway 1t
would be unwise for the designer to
charge less for her simple models
because this would from the outset
cheaper them. There are women
who would never think Of buying the
very simple frock il they found that
il was less dear than the elaborate
one. They will only consent to APP
pear in one of these perfectly simple
frocks because they know, and all
the world knows, that they are really
very expensive.
Worth, whose gowns are as easily
spotted" as those Of any other of
the famous dressmakefs Of the Rue
de Ia Paix, has perhaps taken the
lead in the making of very simple

Story of Alexander's Ride.

The story of how Alexander the
Great, while only 10 years of age,
mastered and rode Bucephalus, IA
nous war horse, is tale of a boys
remarkable courage. So brave and
fearless was this Prince Alexander
that today, 1000 years after his death,
he Is still remembered as the worlds
greatest warrior.
Bucephalus was a spirited horse
sent as a present to King Philip, Alex
ander's father. The King and the
courtiers went out in the park to try
the horse, but SO furious was the ami
NAL that no one dared mount him.
He was entirely unmanageable+ Philip,
much provoked, gave orders that the
horse be sent back to Thessaly, as he
was useless.

The dancing groups sponsored by
Rasch are known the world over for
their grace. At present some of
the dancing units are features in
many big Broadway productions,
notably in ziegfelds "Follies" now

New York.
At the conclusion Of their first
performance at the Paramount
Theater they were greeted with
applause and there have been SIM
liar demonstrations wherever they
have appeared.
Before being sent out from the
