Tlie frock shown in the sketch, while designed for present season wear, really Is an Intimation of the silhouette thut Is now regarded as the dominant note of spring styles. In other words, says a fashion authority, frocks showing a side Hare, extreme or moderate, with distinctly Hat front and back effects, will hold tlie center of the sartorial ktage. The tendency Is to feature u side fullness rather than a Hare, as there is a generous use of material without wiring or other urtiHcial re-enforcement. The result is the fullness described, in many cases a sort of bunching of the fabric by means of plaits and gathers. The frock sketched may he made to combine satin or taffeta, or even vel vet and u sheer material, such as georgette, chiffon or net, and it would be quite smart foi* afternoon wear. Present season frocks worn by Americans generally show long sleeves —that is, except the frocks designed for evening or dressy afternoon wear. According to ull indications, however, the prejudice that has existed in the minds of American women against the display of u long expanse of Imre arm, except in the evening or in the privacy of tlie home, lias at last been dispelled, and next spring will see women wear ing wool frocks of the tailored or semi tailored type, equipped with sleeves that are well above the elbow.

Breakfast Proved a Very Much De layed Meal, but Still the Results Were Worth a Little Spell of Hunger. When in the winter of 1917-18, Gen eral Ailenby decided to wipe out the Turkish army the next fall, he planned, with the assistance of Emir Felsnl and his Arabian troops, to take Nazareth and Galilee. Feisal led a camel troop of two thousand men inland into the desert in the late summer of 1918, says a writer in the Red Cross Magazine. There were heat and Hies that few white men could endure, and the way led far north behind the Turkish army tlmt was facing Ailenby. When they had cut the only railway by which the Turkish armies down below could get their supplies, and had blown up bridges and long stretch es of track, the A ribs fell back into the desert to await Allenhy’s drive, and there the Turkish airplanes found them. Nine mucliines spent most of their time over the huddled Feisal army. Ry good luck, Colonel Lawrence, Feisal’s adviser, an Englishman whose endurance proved equal to the hard ships of the trip, had arranged that General Ailenby should send an air plane for reports, and at the appoint ed time he went out on camel to meet the machine. It came, a speck in the sky at Hrst, and Hnully it lunded ami a Eritlsh otHcer stepped out. “You stay here.” said Lawren'Ce. “My servant will take care of you. I must go to Ailenby myself to ask him for airplanes.” Before the officer could protest, Law rence was off and in a few hours was talking with Ailenby. “We must have airplanes,” he told the general. “If we don’t stop those Turkish planes our Arab army will dissolve into the desert. The men say they can’t stand still and be killed from the sky.” “All right!” Ailenby replied. “I’ll send three planes and a cargo of pe trol to you in the morning. Day after tomorrow I’m going to start my drive. Keep the railroad broken until then.” Flying back to the wafting olficer, Lawrence took the good news to Feisal In his tent, and at five o’clock the next morning three big machines landed and six hungry men clambered down to the sand. “First thing we’ll do Is hnve break fast,” they said to Lawrence, who had come out to meet them. Rut ns they began to unpack their food hags they saw five Turkish machines coming for their daily slaughter of Arabs and camels. “We finish breakfast after we get those fellows,” said the airmen. Within tlie next half hour Emir j Feisal and his Turks saw five Turkish i airplanes come tumbling down out of the sky. The flying men then came ; back to breakfast, but they had barely pot started again when two more Turk ish machines appeared. Once more they left tlielr breakfast, and within another half hour two more Turkish machines were wrecked in the desert sand. Then they once more came to eat. Although they had begun break fast at live, the meal was not finished until ten o’clock. But it afterward transpired that the Turkish flying force was finished at the snme time. The pilots of the two remaining ma chines burned their planes to avoid going up with English mucliines In the neighborhood. Very Moderate Vacation. A young draftsman for a Louisiana cotton-gin company saw one of the colored laborers off duty one morning. »Vben ho found the old negro back again In the factory thnt afternoon he accosted him In a tone of mock au thority: “Say, Mose, didn’t I see you off this morning?" The old man never questioned the authority of the youngster to call him down, hut meekly replied: "Yes, boss, Ah Jest had to go to a funeral dls mu wning; hut don't yo* know, boss, Ah only been off three days sence Ah been u-workln’ henh?" “Three days? Thnt Is a lot of time to lose. How long have you been here?” demanded the draftsman of six months’ service with the firm. “Well, boss, Ah been a-world n’ in dls shop fer a little over thirty years.” The draftsman hastened back to his blue-priii ts. —Yout It’s Companion. Tea Not Food, Says Court. Now that the appeal court has defi nitely decided that ten is not a “food.” some one will have to define the word “food” a little more clearly. Up till now we have been led to be lieve that any liquid or solid thnt has a food value is a food. In tills con nection some of the legal arguments were somewhat confusing. “You do not invite your friends to ent ten leaves"—ergo, tea, which can not be “eaten" is not a food. But then neither do you nsk your friend to “eat*' cocoa-essence or “drink” the thinnest of soups, both of which are usually regarded as foods. Dietetic experts are more convinc ing. They refuse to recognize tea ns a food simply because it contains no nourishment.—London Chronicle.

NEVER TOO LATE A comely woman, nearing middle age, stepped out on the little cottage ponii and shaded her eyes from the j morning sun. that ste might look deep er and farther into the budding green mysteries of a perfect day. As her gftzo wandered appreciably from the 1 disxant hills to the nearer meadows and orchards, their peace seemed re flected In her face. Rut when she glanced down at her own garden a quick frown accompanied an impn- 1 tlent exclamation, “That pesky dog again! I declare It's enough to pro voke a saint, which I never claimed . to be. If there’s one thing on earth more bothersome than another. It’s neighbors who don’t care two pins for j other people’s comfort.” Once upon a time before Miss I.y- 1 din’s coming, the path from her steps had run directly through that yard and the next, ending at the adjoining house and was a well-worn trail. Rut n little cloud had appeared on tlie j friendly horizon, at Hrst no bigger than a man’s hand, and grew to such proportions that the spite fence had appeared to stop nil Intercourse. However, two young folks lived on ( either side, nml love laughs at fences as well ns locksmiths, so just where the big ninple stretched its branches ( over the top an almost Invisible gate j had been made and many a night bad the lovers found it an ideal tryst lag place.

Tin* gate was fltted now with latch and hinges, hut she had never used it, ; as the next house had been empty tin til lately and thru she lmd been dls- ! appointed to learn that It was only n lone bachelor who had taken the I farm. Rut today with sudden determinn- ; Mon she picked up the broken tulips and started down the path. Meantime ' her neighbor, happily unconscious of j j trouble, and feeling at pence with I every man, went whistling to the barn. 1 I Round the corner whisked a large cat. holding a chicken In Its mouth ntid disappeared through tlie very hole un der the fence that the mischievous pup had used. “Brat that cat!” cr!*»d the farmer, “there goes another of my best Plymouth Rocks. Tills thing Is going to bo stopped right now!” and he too strode down the path toward j the gate, stepping through It just as | Miss Lydia was about to reach for the ! latch. “Dear me!” was her startled thought, “It’s himself. Now’s my clinneo!” though her courage was go ing fast, for she was a shy soul. “She’s j the 'one this Interview’s coming to,” j ran Farmer John’s ni!nd, “for I saw her petting Mint ornery eat one day,” ! and simultaneously they spoke. “Ma’am, that cat of yours—” “Sir. your dog—” Then they broke off In blank amaze ment. A long stare, and again they cried In unison: “John!” “Lyddy!” -T “How In the world? —" *’’’ “What on earth? —” And stopped again, for want of breath, seemingly. If so, John was the first to recover It. “Lyddy—tell me, hnve you been liv ing "here nil these long years? T toft home the day after we quarreled.

HUNGER KNOWS NO ARMISTICE IN CAUCASUS Colonel Haskell Reports to Near East Relief o.i Desperate Needs of Helpless. “Peace may come elsewhere In the world, but hunger knows no armistice in the Near East," says Colonel Wil liam N. Haskell, allied high commis sion In the Trans-Caucasus, in an ap peal to Near East Relief, 1 Madison avenue, New York city, for food and supplies for the relief of tlie starving millions. Colonel Haskell is In charge of all operations ami disbursements of Near East Relief in the Caucasus. “There Is no fuel or shelter for the greater part of them during tlie terri ble winter in the mountains,” he says, “and tlie existing food supply is en tirely inadequate for the great num ber of refugees without resources of any kind. “Ry n recent agreement between the premiers of the republics of Ar menia, Azerlmidjan and Georgia to cease hostilities and settle all differ ences by arbitration one obstacle to relief work in tlie Caucasus has been removed and makes accessible a great number of destitute people wiio other wise would perish this winter. “Two hundred thousand destitute Armenians and Tartars can now be reached in the districts of Karaliagh, Sliusha and Nakhichevan, in the south east section of the Trans-Caucasus, and we are planning to extend our work there. The economic situation is so desperate ami food supplies so scanty that the Georgians hnve or dered 1(H),IKK) persons, mainly Russian refugees without employment, to leave the city of Tlflls. About -15,000 work ers in the oil fields of Baku have been ordered by the Azerhuidjuhese to leave the city because there is no work for them and food is scarce. Around every station along tlie rail way are gathered groups of hundreds of homeless people lying huddled to gether on the ground, the majority of them too weak even to try to help themselves. From time to time the stronger ones climb on freight cars and move elsewhere, always seeking better conditions, which do not exist. Two hundred and sixty-three thousand homeless refugees from Turkish Ar menia thus are constantly milling about throughout Russian Armenia, making the relief work conducted by j the Americans a problem requiring in , finite patience and organizing ability. I “This Is especially true In view of | the existence of 248,000 destitute in | habitants of Russian Armenia who I possess homes, but no food, ns well as 150,000 Greeks, Russians, Persians, Sy rians and Yezidls who have been driven out of parts of Transcaucasia. “One hundred and forty thousand Moslems, whose villages were destroy ed in the course of five years of con stant warfare, are helplessly en camped in the open around villages of tlielr former enemies, begging Infini tesimal quantities of flour, which they mix with dirt to give the illusion of nourishment. “These hundreds of thousands of ! suffering adults, mostly homeless and 1 lacking every necessity of life, having ! nothing more to lose, are concentrated in a country as yet inadequately po llred or governed. They constitute a fertile field for the seeds of Hoi she i vism or any form of anarchy, the spread of which once loosed would be impossible to predict. “It Is generally admitted in the Cnu casus tlmt the Americans of the Near East Relief already have saved the lives of at least 80,000 babies and children and of 500,000 adult refugees and destitute. This work still is con tinuing.” In an effort to procure funds to car ry on the work and stive the lives of Miese hundreds of thousands who oth erwise will die of starvation and ex posure Near East Relief, of which Cleveland 11. Dodge is treasurer, is making an appeal to the American people. $5 PER MONTH FEEDS ORPHAN. Cleveland H. Dodge Shows What Near East Relief Can Do in Efficiont Purchasing. Buying in wholesale lots and under the most favorable market conditions, Near East Relief of 1 Madison avenue, New York City, with representatives In every stale of the Union, has been able to huffle the high cost of living so fat as relief supplies for the suffering mil lions of the Near East are concerned. Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer, In a statement shows that the committee is able to provide food for tlie suffering people of the Near East at prices much lower than the average charge here. A donation of $5 per month will pro vide food for one orphan, $lO per month provides not only food, hut also clothes nnd shelter for one orphan, nnd sls per month attendance at school is assured to each orphan in addition to food, clothing and shelter. In the nppeal for funds to save the starving remnants of tlie Armenians and other western Asia peoples, Near East Relief Is Inviting tlie American public to “adopt” an orphan at the rates given here. Over 250,000 home less children nre In need of help In the Near East. Women’s organizations, lodges, chtirehes and social clulm nre responding to tlie appeal by adopting quotas of orphans for support over a definite period.

Although clear soups, which nre largely water, contain little nourish- nietit, they are of vain o because they warm and stimulate the stomach. Appe tizing soups may he made of mnte rlnls otherwise wasted. A cupful or two of mashed potato can lie turned into a most nourishing soup. Soup is not necessarily made from meat stock; such vegetables may be used as beans, pens niul other vege tables cooked until soft nnd passed through a sieve, then heated with milk, water or stock. Using left-over vege tables Is an economy. Split Pea Soup.—Take one pint of dried pens, four quarts of water, one large onion minced fine, four table spoonfuls of drippings (or butter is better, as it gives a better flavor), three tnblespoonfuls of flour, one tn blespoonful of minced celery or a few dried leaves, one-half teaspoonful of paprika and two teaspoonfuls of salt. Wash the peas and soak them over night in cold water. In the morning pour off the water and put them Into the soup kettle with three quarts of water. Place over tin* fire and bring to the boiling point. Pour off this wa ter and add four quarts of boiling wa ter, and let the pens simmer for four hours. Add the celery the last hour of cooking. Cook tlie onion and drip pings slowly for half an hour. Drain the water from the peas and save the water. Add flour, water nnd season ing and cook half an hour, stirring often. Mash the pens, rub through a sieve, and mix with tlie other Ingredi ents. Cook 20 minutes and serve hot. Scotch Broth. —Take three pounds of mutton, two tnblespoonfuls of pearl barley, two tnblespoonfuls of in 1 need onion, two tnblespoonfuls of minced turnip, the same of carrot and minced celery, and salt; one tnblespoonful of minced parsley and three quarts of cold water. Remove the bones and all the fat from the mutton, cut the meat In small pieces, nnd put Into the stew pan with the water, chopped vegeta bles, lmrley nnd all tlie seasonings ex cept the parsley, and simmer three hours. Add the parsley and serve. THE KITCHEN CABINET The day returns and brings Its petty round of Irritating concerns and duties.

Those who know tell us that the average American of the well-to-do class, eats at least one-third, more food than is necessary or safe, nnd that seven eighths of our diseases are caused from Im proper food and also, In large degree, improper eating. Horace Fletcher, who gave Id Urn world so much on the way to eat arvf what to eat, advocated the long in&sti cation of foods, chewing twice ns long, and In consequence the appetite la satisfied with much less food. A simple experiment which has been often repeated Is that of chewing a mouthful of bread and butter until It swallows Itself, without any effort. It will develop a flavor in the mouth which will be a surprise to all rapid eaters. The starch Is partly changed by the action of the saliva which is never noticed when food is bolted. On a busy day the house mother who can serve a wholesome one-piece dish which will he sufficiently satisfying Is using economy both of time and of fuel. There are any number of such dishes from chowders to casserole dishes. The following has been given several times but may be repeated, It Is so good: Put sufficient sliced pota toes In a shallow baking pan, for the family, cover with a finely sliced onion and pork chops fried on one side and placed cooked side down on the potatoes. Season well and hake until the potatoes are tender. No moisture need be added unless the potatoes have lost much moisture. A salad dressing which Is very good nnd Is always ready to serve on any kind of n salad is made of corn oil added a little at a time to a beaten yolk with lemon Juice, Just ns one makes mayonnaise. It looks and tastes almost ns good ns olive oil mayon naise. To this dressing may be added for variety chopped onion, peppers, cel ery, pens or any cooked vegetable at hand. The same dressing plain with whipped cream added makes a good dressing on fruit salud.
