Daisies do tell! In your hair as
a flower headdress or on your wrist
as bracelet, your throat as neck
lace, they tell of your charms, dra-
matically.
Hairdressers and florists have put
heads together to create Valentine
styles for every type, from college
miss to smart matron. The flow
ers are being offered as Valentines.
They take their interesting forms
from tiaraS, coronets, and costume
jeWe1ry. College beauX and soldiers
are sending them to their hostesses,
wiring them to distant sweethearts.
So If you are looking for some
thing to heighten your aura Of be-
quilting femininity, especially on
Cupid's own Valentines Day, con-
slider blooms with braids or with
curls.
FLOWERS FOR PIGTAILS
A cunning version of the raging
pigtails fashion for young girls Is
the even newer braid pompadour.
A roll and trio of curls atop the
forehead make this style becom-
ing even to a round-faced miss
The pigtails are looped at the ear.
With a cluster Of yellow daisies
and blue cornflowers posed where
the braid end Is caught up, the
Wearer looks both festive and I'M
pretentious.
The same effect can be achieved
with long artificial braids, of course.
A complement to a longer or ma
turer face is the classic coronet,
emphasized by flowers outlining it,
One new variation of it, done with
artificial hair, produces an ex-
tremely soft frame for the face.
Here the sides are swept up, the
back is swirled, and the front hair
is brought forward in roll Above
the roll, double braid is attached,
and behind that on the crown OF

OF Interest to Women

@. My family is very fond of
cottage cheese. Can it be made at
home?
A. 1t is easy to make, but ordi-
narily not as cheap to make at home
as to buy 1t already made, unless one
has a quantity of milk that cannot
be used readily. To make it, heat
sour milk to about 100 degrees r.
and turn into strainer lined with
cheesecloth. Pour over 1t quart of
hot water. Let the curt hang in the
cheesecloth bag until all the whey
as drained off. Add enough cream
and melted butter to moisten 1t. Salt
to taste.
@. I am planning to spend a
month In Florida in February or
March and would like some SUCCESS
tons about the type of clothing to

A. A Jacket dress or a summef
suit or both, If you have them; one
sports coat; one or two pairs OF
Stacks; as many shorts sets as you
usually have in summer; a bathing
suit; six day dresses, some of them
chepe and some cotton; two dinner
frocks with wrap or jacket; and q
formal evening gown. And, OF
course, all the accessories for these
dresses and costumes.

For further flip, the lady wears

Q MODERN MENUS
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Service Staff Writer

The woman who used to spend
hours in the kitchen preparing an
elaborate Sunday dinner now uses
some. of those hours for her vitality
needed defense activities. Sunday
dinner these days is wholesome
and tasty, but streamlined.
BY planning to do the major part
Of her ordering and cooking for
two days all at once, she gains
more time for war work.
Lamb shank, thrifty meat cut,
constitutes the main item on the
Friday dinner menu purchased at
the meat shop during your time
saving shopping for food for two
days. Bread pudding, made with
leftover bread Is another time and
money saving item on the menu.

She is certain there is spite behind
the criticism Of her work.
Then there is Mrs. Jones who Is
trying to run things at head
quarters. The women are ganging
upon her. AS they say, "A little
authority certainly goes TO some
folks heads in a hurry"
And they don't like the snooty
attitude of Mrs. Brown, who seems
to think that her work is far SUI
perior to that of anyone else.
Mrs. White is complaining, too.
1t seems she thinks she wasn't
treated very graciously when she
volunteered her services. She says,
IF that's the way they feel about
| it, they can get along without me"
OF course, there are lots of Wom-
en- who are sticking to their knitting
and not getting their feelings hurt
of hurting any feelings. But the
hair-pulling going on is what is
attracting attention.
And it's the hair-pulling that Is
soaring off women who haven't yet
volunteered their services. They
hear the squabbling, complaining
and criticizing and think, We'll,
maybe I'd better steer clear OF all
| that"

Household Hints
BY ROSETTE HARGROVE
tNEA Service Staff Correspondent

London.-For English women, the
year 1912 promises to be the most
momentous in all their history. 1t
will bring the biggest chances, not
only to those who have already Of
fered their services to their country
and are perhaps more spectacularly
helping to win the war, but to the
more obscure and certainly the most
modest Of them all--the housewives
on whom so much depends.
So far as the women of England
are concerned, this third year of
total war finds hem much more
vital and alive and ever more con-
scious of their coun-ry's need of
them. Women of sixty and over are
responding valiantly to the call, fill
ing In the many breaches left open
by the calling-up Of younger women
and finding a constructive outlet for
their patriotism as well as for their
energies.

Cheyenne Indian Reservation
Sees Return of Horse, Buggy

Horse and buggy days are coming
back to the northern Cheyenne In
dian reservation. Not that hitching
racks are springing up around every
corner in Lame Deer, or watering
troughs dotting Main street, but In
dams again are taking pride in show
ing their mounts and wagon teams.
Five years ago horses on the reser-
Walton were making their last stand.
Today. take it from George Harris,
young Cheyenne rancher who heads
the Northern Cheyenne Stock asso-
citation, he can count the number of
tribesmen owning autos on his fingers
Federal loans prepared the red man
for the white mans rationing, al
though at the time officials didn't fig
ure to give the tire-tube lack the run
around. Tribesmen purchased cattle
with the loans, then needed strings OF
from 2 to 10 saddle horses, a team
and wagon. Thus horses regained their
former Importance on the range.
But Cheyennes continued to make
the rounds to town, dances and other
reservations by car. Then tires wore
out. payments wore on. Dealers re-
possessed most cars.
Harris went back to the saddle last
spring. By midsummer wagons utility
rose to par with the saddle horse
Wooden bows were attached to many
wagons, supporting a white cotton
cover like the old prairie schooner.

when a braves mount was his fortune.
Before he adopted white mans ways,
the Indians hunt for venison, buffalo
meat, herbs and roots with never
constant supply taught him to tighten
his belt while wandering with horse
and travois.
Most food stored for the winter was
dried. Cheyennes anticipate no great
difficulty in returning to the practice
OF stocking up for winter.
Most Of the Indians on the reser-
walton won't need to go more than so
or 60 miles to market" says Harris.
:" it won't be easy, but mother

tables the last six weeks, and we have
beef canned.
I'VE make our own bread and butter.
When We sell our cattle, well lay in
