SPRINCTTME

Baltimore. suppose, would claim the
Baltimore oriole for its own, but It is
Just a. much Washington's bird In
deed It Is the common property Of
northern South America and Of New
England.
The same Is true Of the orchard oriole.
About such brilliance there is certainly
a tropical splendor, but the song. fancy
lin some ways the most joyful in all
the airs Of May), Is not heard much in
the tropics. It is mating lyric, and
the orioles honeymoon in our cline.
To tell the two brother species apart
Is easy enough, If YOU see the male
birds, for, though both are black on the
head, neck. back, wings and tail. the
Baltimore bird Is orange on most OF his
other parts except his throat. while the
orchard bird Is q chestnut color on his
lower parts, the color deepest on the
breast
AS for the females-well. the less q
man tries to describe q females dress
the less he gets in trouble, so snail
only advise you to look around and see
which species of gentleman she keeps In
her company, and you can draw your
own conclusions.
Both of the birds are accused by
farmers of marauding, but the charge
Is groundleSs or overweighed by their
love Of all injurious insects found
around orchards. Crickets, grasshoppers,
spiders, caterpillars, are their delight,
and beetles. small flies, gnats come not
amiss. The orioles ask few mulberries,
cherries and garden peas in return for
work that 1t would cost the farmer
many dollars to perform II he had to
spray his trees and vegetables against
the pests that the orioles devour for
him.

Chicken With Dressings

Prepare a chicken as for chicken and
dumplings. When the chicken Is about
half done. take 1t up and make a dress
ing as follows: Mix one cupful OF yell
low cornmeal with half a cupful Of cold
water Cook for 10 minutes, stirring
constantly Add four cupfuls Of the
boiling chicken broth, cook and stir.
Add one cupful OF chopped celery and
half a cupful Of chopped green peppers
which have been previously cooked In
sailed water, two well beaten eggs and
enough toasted bread crumbs to make
Of muShlike consistency. Grease the
bottom Of a Dutch oven or other heavy
pan. Put the chicken around the edge
Of the pan and the dressing in the cen
ter. Cook in the oven until the chicken
Is tender. The dressing will form a
brown, crispy crust. This is delicious.

some readers who are unfamiliar with
needlecraft have asked me to explain
naethodSrof working from cross-stttch
designs on printed croSs-bar paper.
Therefore q lesson in methods Is given
today
Cross-stitch is one cf the ancient
forms of needlework that is claSsifled as
embroidery on counted threads. It's
beauty depends on its accuracy. To
insure this, "cross-stitch canvas" Is
made with spaces regulated by the
weave. Stitches are taken across the
threads, The holes are for the insertion
OF the needle either up or down as the
work requires. Round thread linen or
textile Of sufficiently coarse plain weave
can be used as we'll as croSs-stitch
canvas for counted thread embroidery
Cross-stitch patterns are printed on
cruss-bar paper. Each square OF the
I,aper In q pattern indicates one stitch
which may be white or gray denoting
tl1e background, with black for the de-
aim. If the design Is in color, each
square is printed In the color to be
Ysiatched In the working medium OF SIX,
tapestry yarn, etc. Directions DO not
accompany cross-stitch patterns except
IN very rare instances. The TANDEM

States Naval and Army officers and
other officials, were on their way to
the White House to pay their respects
to the President and Mrs. Hoover.
As the party reached waiting eleva-
tors on the eighth floor Of the hotel
his imperial highness paused. Every
thing had been arranged beforehand.
An Interpreter replied to the questions
which one of the newspaper men asked
for the group.
The prince was in formal morning
dress The princess, smiling, stood in
the background. wearing q blue frock
and lowered hat.
Three questions were asked:
No. It's his imperial highness
happy to be in the American Capital?"
Answer-"Yes."
No. 2-"Is his imperial highness ia
vorably impressed with the United
States2"
Answer-"Yes."
No. SIS his imperial highness
looking forward to his visit to Canada?"
Answer-"Yes."
Each Of the three questions was COM
municated by the interpreter to his
imperial highness. The interpreter
made the replies.
1t all took about two minutes. When
the last yes" had been given, the
prince directed his glance to the wait
ing elevators. The newspaper men
stepped back and the royal party en-
tered.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

'I have just become engaged and in
tend TO be married in the Autumn. AS
It is my first and-I am sure-my last
engagement, I find that there are some
questions that cannot answer for my
self. I have never met my fiances
family. This Summer, during nv two
weeks vacation, he wants me to spend
week visiting his people. He would
not be able to be there at the same
time. Would 1t be considered conven-
tional for me to make this visit? Also,
as I have no close relatives Of my own,
my flance wants me to be married at
his house. live at girls club and
could arrange a little wedding there.
Which plan would you suggest? I am
rather old-fashioned sort of person
and would not like to do anything un-
conventional"
It Is not strictly conventional for an
engaged girl to be the house guest of
the family Of the man to whom she is
engaged unless she had previously be-
come acquainted with his sister or
mother. Aside from considerations of
convention, think you might find the
visit very trying. 1 am decidedly in
favor of the little wedding at your club
house, where you can be with your own
friends. That Is always the brides
privilege.
1T have q pair Of long white gloves
that would like to dye brown to 60
with q brown evening dress. Can you
tell me how to go about it?"
It Is possible to dye gloves at home
by means of package dyes, but 1t Is not
easy to do, and would advise you to
take them to a professional. However.
II you want to do it yourself, make
a solution of the dye according to di-
rections. Put the gloves on and moisten
them slightly with plain water, and
then apply the dye with a sponge. Rub
in dye, but do not let it soak through
the kid. Take the gloves of carefully,
blow them out and hang them up to
dry.
But why dye the gloves at all? White
gloves are every bit as smart even with
a brown dress as brown ones.

Dresses Wear
Even Hemlines

There no guessing on the
long debated question of
skirt lengths. They are de-
cided at last. There's a
length for morning, for af-
ternoon and for evening,
each length correct for the
type of the frock. For active
sports, skirts are worn just
below the knee to the upper
calf. This gives the wearer
freedom and ease. Daytime
frocks, that is frocks for
street and business, are worn
to the middle calf. Many
afternoon frocks are this
length too, although some of
them are ankle length. Thus
the afternoon frock is worn
anywhere between the mid
die calf and the ankle. Eve
ming gowns go to great
lengths but for dancing the
ankle length is the most pop
ular.

smart this spring, and won
derfully becoming. The sash
serves the purpose Of clos
ing the frock, as well as
trimming it. Ribbed skirts
show the influence of En-
press Eugene. They are
simply soft copies of her
hoop skirt, but without the
hoops. Panniers and puffs
as we'll as bustles are sug-
gested, but so far have not
met with much success.
They are all three styles
that must be just right for
the wearer, modes to be
watched. The hustle will
survive, very likely, for it's
more wearable than the
other two and afternoon
frocks in this type are most
attractive.

dress. Collarless frocks are
smart, but scanning or a
bow or flowers take the
place of the collar.
Chanel and Callot are two
who are responsible for lin
gerie effects on frocks, and
in tune with the femininity of
the mode, they give such a
dainty, fresh look to a dress.
Draped lines persist in neck
lines also. Worth, Chanel
and Vionnet have shown
some lovely interpretations
of it this spring. Scarfs,
fischus, and jabots flaunt
their softening lines on
frocks of all kinds. AS
we've said somewhere else,
these are dramatic and per-
sonal styles. Capelets are
still good and are destined to
continue so.

sleeves will appeal to practi-
cal natures, and they lend
variety to the frock, too.

Lines from a
Greek Goddess

We go back as far as the
Fifth century for another
of our best-liked silhouettes,
the classic lines of the
ancient Greek costumes. This
comes with peplum or short
tunic and is easy to wear,
the tunic or peplum con-
cealing fullness that new
styles show so mercilessly.
Peplums, like other styles,
are shown in many varieties
and are worn from just a
suggestion of a ruffle at the
belt line to a tunic almost
to the knees. It's a young
silhouette and becoming to
practically every type. That
classic, the long straight
line, is with us too. 1t
offers m any possibilities
especially in printed and
brocaded fabrics. The sim
plicity of its lines are an
other expression of this age
OF elegance, and the un-
broken line is slenderizing
and flattering.
Vlonnet started something
when she created the sash
tied frock and coat.
That silhouette is. verv
