cupfuls of water until tender. Add one
fourth cupful of -four and half a cupful
of sugar which have been sifted to-
gether, cook until thick, then add two
egg yolks which have been beaten light
ly. Allow to cool, then add one cupful
Of chopped walnut meats and the juice
of half lemon. The crust is made as
follows:
Roll one and one-half dozen graham
crackers until the crumbs are very fine,
then mix smoothly with one-fourth
pound of melted butter. Line pie tin
with two-thirds of the mixture, pressing
into the shape of crust. Fill with the
raisin mixture and cover with the re-
naming cracker crumbs. Bake for ten
minutes in a moderate oven. This pie
must be allowed to stand in cool place
for at least eight hours before serving,
and can be served with whipped cream
or covered with meringue. A little
practice will enable one to prepare the
crust without any trouble.

Everyday Law Cases
rs Parole Evidence Admissible to
ShotD That Note Was Conditional?
By THE COUNSELLOR.

John Hunt, real estate broker, sold
farm for the owner and agreed to
charge $500 commission, 500 payable
at the time of sale and the balance
of $400 payable on the completion of
the transfer.
Hunt received his 500 and, at his
request, the owner gave him a note
for $400 balance, payable in 80 days,
the time fixed for the payment of the
balance of the price by the purchaser.
The purchaser defaulted, and con-
sequently the owner refused to pay
Hunt the $400. Hunt brought suit on
W At the the trial the owner sought to
testify that the note was given con-
ditioned on the completion of the
sale, but Hunts attorneys objected to
the testimony, contending that 1t tend
ed to vary note whose terms were
definite on its face.
The court, permitting the owner to
explain the condition, stated:
"The uniform rule is that parole EVIL
dence is admissible to show that ne
gotiable instrument, absolute in form,
was not to become a binding obligation
except upon the happening of a GER
tain future event, since such evidence
does not vary the instrument. but
tends to show that it never became a
valid undertaking"

Attractive Bridge Coats
BY MARY MARSHALL.

what she really needs is q coat--and
so it Is that am suggesting as part
of the equipment of the woman who
gives bridge parties one or two attrac-
tive bridge coats. Recently at little
bridge party of my own the only thing
had to offer a guest who shivered,
though the rooms were almost too warm
for others. was a last Summers Gre
tonne beach coat--and it was rather
amusing to see the eagerneSS with which
she put the rather faded garment over
her attractive new afternoon frock.
Next time she comes shall be bet
ter prepared. There will be brand
new silk bridge coat ready for her
and If she doesn't want it. I am sure
some one else will It will be made
like the one in the sketch of gray silk
with border of black. with red and black
spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs used
for decoration.
There are times when the hostess
herself may find an attractive bridge
coat q convenience. If she is planning
not to play in order to be free to make
last-ninute preparations for the re-
freshments and serve them when the
time comes, she may not want to wear
a formal afternoon frock. Instead, she
may prefer to wear a simple washable
frock of some sort. This she may wear
when she is busy in kitchen and pantry
and then to give festive touch among
her guests she may slip into her gay
bridge coat.
From a straight piece of velvet 90
inches wide and about so inches long
you can make a perfectly charming
crush collar to use on a homemade eve
ming wrap or as a bit of REIMBURSEMENT
for an old one. 1t may also be used
for a last seasons coat in need of a
new collar. If you send me stamped,
self addressed envelope I will send you
diagram showing precisely how to
make this with a sketch to- show the
finished collar.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

rate his room at college and legal
theft.
The evader Is one who expects
somebody else to pay for his mistakes.
He Is, 1t cannot be denied, "loW-down
cuss," however much general mental
weakness and moral flabbiness con-
tributes to his formation.
The Freudian formula Of escape
doesn't fit the case at all; for those
who escape into illness or can't face
the music are flying as a rule from
personal situations; they are trying to
escape from themselves. Nor does the
other Freudian principle that applies
SO enerally-nan1ely, that we are all
pleasure seekers and won't face reality
have any special application to
evaders.
The evader is all too conscious and
deliberate in his technique. He tells
callers that he Is not at home; steals
out of the back door, and stays away
from his Office when the man with
just claim is to call. Evading Is not
staying away from the dentist or put
ting of the evil day, for that Is the
common failing, with little relation to
evading responsibility.
Judging by the evaders have met,
put down a good deal Of their psy-
chology to weakness, more moral than
mental, but fusion of both. Evaders
are lame ducks and weak sticks; they
are close to failures anyway. They are
not schemers and promoters and ag-
gressive tricksters, who, it is true, seek
the woods or the tall grass when some
body is on their trail; that's intelligi-
BILE enough. Evaders are generally in an
honest or near-honest business: but
they are prepared, If they lose, to stand
back and make the other fellow pay for
their mistakes. They don't exactly jump
their bail, for that's rather bold step;
but 1t wouldn't be safe to go on an
evader's bond. An evader has an un-
fortunate psychology, but even toll
Grant psychologist can find little ex-
cuse for him.

Shampoo With Massage.

The shampoo is an important part
Of hair culture, and every girl and
woman owes 1t to herself to have the
proper kind Of shampoo whether she
goes to beauty shop for 1t or does 1T
at home. Not all beauty operators take
the time and trouble to include mas
sage treatment with the shampoo, but
this should be insisted upon. The mas
sage stimulates the flow of blood to the
scalp and thus nourishes the hair fol-
licles.
The best kind of soap to use for the
shampoo is the mildest. The harsher
types may leave the hair f1uffler, but
they also make 1t brittle and tend to
fade it. All soaps are made from some
form of fat, water and an alkah of
caustic potash or caustic soda. The
best shampoo mixtures are made with a
base of olive oil, linseed oil or tallow
and caustic potash. When made with
coconut oil they lather well, but re-
quire too large an amount of alkali.
There is no better shampoo than that
made by dissolving pure CASTLE soap in
hot water.
The warm shampoo mixture should
be rubbed into the hair to work up a
lather. Do not judge the value OF the
soap by the amount of lather, however.
since some of the best soaps do not
lather freely. Rinse the hair, lather
again, rinse and lather a third time,
then give the final rinse with a bath
spray to remove all the soap particles.
If lemon rinse is to be used, now is
the time to apply it. Do not use this
rinse on permanently waved or bleached
hair, however Give a last rinse in clear
water and then begin drying the hair
by rubbing it between turkish towels.
When the hair is nearly dry begin
the massage. Start by stroking move
ment across one side of the forehead,

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

. November Z, 186o-Abraham Lincoln,
Republican, of Illinois, is elected PreSi-
dent of the United States, as the result
of the voting in the States yesterday,
according to the returns received here
SO far today. Sufficient information has
already been received to make his elec-
tion certainty.
This result is not unexpected In
Washington, since it has been foreseen
by politicians and others here for sew
eral weeks. Lincoln's defeat has seemed
impossible in the face of the unusual
conditions prevailing throughout the
Nation and the split in the Democratic
party over the best way to deal with the
slavery question.
Election returns are still far from
complete, but some of them can be
given today, as received here over the
electric telegraph wires, to show how
Lincoln is getting plurality of the
electoral votes.
In Massachusetts 109 towns, not in
cluding Boston, give Lincoln, 53,299;
Douglas, 1924; Breckenridge, 3,197.
Lincolns probable majority in the Bay
State will be 10000.
In New York City Lincoln is appar-
emily running behind the other candi-
dates, but not in the State as a whole
The city returns, with six precincts still
to be heard from, are as follows: Union
ticket, 60,078; Republican ticket, 81 ,374
Dispatches from all over the State indi-
cate that Lincoln has carried the EN-
pire State by large majority.
In Maryland the results, compiled up
to date, are: Breckenridge, 1880; Bell
1853; Douglas, 1852; Lincoln, 1882
In Virginia apparently Lincoln did
not figure in the voting sufficiently to
appear in the returns thus far received
That State seems to have given ma
jority to Bell.
Ohio has given a majority to Lincoln
estimated at 10000. Similar majorities
are reported, proportionately, from
most of the other Northern, or Free
States, where slavery is not counte-
nanced by law.

BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

There Is a cupping massage which is
very good for sluggish sallow skins. A
small cup should be used, the edges OF
which have been wiped with peroxide
or alcohol so as to make it antlSeptl-
cally clean. It Is pressed against the
skin until there is slight bulge, al
lowed to stay there o minute, removed
and put on another part OF the face.
An after dinner coffee cup is the best
size. Wherever 1t is pressed 1t draws
up the blood to that spot and there
fore stimulates the circulation. Some
beauty shops use tiny glass vacuum
cup, that is, glass bell with o rubber
bulb on the end which when released
draws the skin out bit and brings the
blood to the surface.
Miss M. s. TIT takes some time to
refine the pores after they have become
enlarged. Your method of caring for
your skin is correct except for using
very hot water. If you concluded the
cleansing with an ice rub, you could
use the hot water, but since you are
dependent upon cold water as a final
rinse, de not relax the pores so much
with the hot water at first.
Many people shed great deal OF
loose hair after the Summer heat, but
new hair should be coming In also;
but II you are not having this happen
