PARIS Especial The jacket

has the unanimous support of
all the style aware women and
girls vacationing out of Paris
this summer. The material is
machine knit heavy jersey.
No. l is copied ShamelesSly

Englishmen wear, and we love it

Wales pattern, and has four
patch pockets, no collar and
bound edges as special good
points. This kind Of jacket is
worn with pajamas, over sports
dresses, and even with shorts.
No. 2 is equally chic and more
exclusive. 1t is made of knitted
goods with a boucle surface like
terry cloth, and is very subtle
golden yellow in color. Hermes

navy blue reVerS and patch

10 navy blue bone buttons. This

Baked HaIbut
Tasty Dish
BY SIBILLA CAMPBELL


Fish cooking is an art. With
proper preparation, it can be-
come an epicurean dish that
will delight the eye as well as
the palate.
The recipe I have selected
for you tomorrow gains flavor
from the chopped onion, parsley
and onion juice. The cooking
time should be carefully watched
so that the fish retains firm
texture.
The menu for dinner is
planned so that it can all be
cooked in the oven at the same
time. The baked potato, cas-
Serole dish of tomatoes, and
fresh gooseberry pie complete
the interesting menu.

LOVELY HOME
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1T never occurred to me that
any friends of mine would not
be welcome in Jacks home. 1
had visited there several times
and found my prospective
mother in law delightful. His
home is a big old white house
with wide porches and green
shutters and is in the real coun-
try.
"My-mother-in-law that was to
be is a perfect housekeeper-
such fried chicken, biscuits that
melted in your mouth, home
made preserves, real ice cream
made from cream out of a real
dairy, perfect coffee.
Jack, my fiance, had to go to
a distant State over the Fourth
Of July, and he suggested I
spend that weekend with his
mother. She phoned to say I'd
be very welcome.
Eat the last minute ran into
a girl cousin of mine. She wanted
to bring down her .fiance, who
was in town. and his boy friend,
and I felt sure it would be all
right.
"Of course, I should have
telephoned or wired the old
lady and ask about bringing
the bunch, but we went to a
party the night before and
were in such a rush to get out
Of town before the traffic that
I didn't have a chance to
phone or wire.
MOTHER SURPRISED
"Jack's mother seemed a
little surprised when a motor
with four people drove up, but
she was nice and cordial.
The trouble was, she isn't
used to modern ways. Jack
never smokes in her living
room, or Scatters cigarettes
around, and he drinks very lit
tie anyhow. But Frank. my
cousins fiance, and his friend
went high, wide and hand

They smoked all over the
house, left lighted cigarettes to
burn holes on a table and

and wouldn't mind kissing

and asked me please to take
my friends home. She retired
to her bedroom, locked the
door and didn't say good-by.

The Federal Government in
March collected more than a bill
lion dollars, according to the Alex
ander Hamilton Institute. Reve-
nues were 22.4 per cent greater
than in the same month last year.
At the same time there was
substantial increase in expendi-
lures. This increase, however.
amounting to 1865 per cent, was
less than the gain in receipts, it
was pointed out.
March was one Of those rare
months in which receipts exceeded
expenditures. It was the first time
in a year that this had happened.
The last surplus occurred in March
year ago. The surplus this year
was greater than it was then
253 million dollars, against 173
million dollars.
It is apparent, however, that the
showing in March represented, as
it did a year ago, only temporary
departure Of the Government from
its part in contributing to the in
flationary movement. The monthly
deficits promise to be resumed in
April.
Despite the surplus in March,
the debt was increased by $127,-
100000 to a new high figure of
$34, 728, 10000 This was due to
the fact that the Government not
only used the surplus, but Dor
rowed to replenish its Treasury
balance, which, at the beginning
of March, was considerably below
the amount called for in the
budget.
Primarily, as the result Of large
receipts in March, revenues during
the first nine months of the cur
rent fiscal year were $753,000,000
larger than year ago.
At the same time revenues fell
1898 100000 below the Govern
ment'S expectations. as indicated
by the budget made public last
January.

Knife in Slot, Easy Twist. OF Comes Cop
HOUSEWIVES no longer need send
IL out an sos for two-fsted hubby
to put on kitchen wrestling match in
opening some containers, which, like
small boys, often stubbornly refuse to
have their caps removed. Homemakers
generally prefer the screw-on type Of
closure for glass jars, but even that
popular cap sometimes is difficult to
remove.
+ This perplexing problem has been
solved by one progressive closure man
ufacturer who has introduced what is
appropriately called a knife-opening
cap. The cap is made of metal and
differs from other closures in that on
its top is grooved slot.
To open any glass container equipped
with this type of closure, simply tap
around the outer rim of the cap with
the knife handle, insert the blade of an
ordinary table knife into the groove in
the top of the cap. This supplies the
necessary leverage to enable one to an-
screw the cap. To reseal the jar, screw
the cap on tightly by hand, or if you
wish, you may again use the leverage
of the knife to effect a seal as tight as
the original.
Consumers acceptance of this new
type cap is evidenced by the report
from the manufacturer that many mil
lions have been sold to food packers
since the first of the year.
