Fancy Feathers and Wings
TIIOSI' who make up tcnthcrs Into
forms that nro to drcorate milli-
nery look with interest upon each
woaror of plumago and each separate
feather. Many thousands of persons
spend their working hours sewing
pasting wiring branding and other-
wise manipulating tho plumago of
birds (mostly domestic fowls) Into
now forms. Each feather Is regarded
with nn eye to its possibilities in tho
evolution of something new by tho
manufacturers. Even tho tiny feath-
ers from the neck of the pigeon or
peacock nro handled separately in
making up the most expensivo pieces.
Just lately largo butterflies mado of

sheen of the wings and the splendor

NEW DRESS TIP FROM PARIS
White or Cream Colored Voile Em.
broldered Heavily Approved
Thing In Lingerie Dress.
Tho very latest news from Paris
tolls us that whlto or cream-colored
o:o embroidered heavily will bo!
tho approved thing in lingerie dresses
for early spring. That seems to bo I
looking a good ways ahead but If you
do your own embioldery you will want j
this tlrao to get ready In. I
Itenlly tho possibilities nro endless I
and fascinating. Either heavy era- '
broidery (wallachlan for lnstanco) I
will bo used or beadwork with rub-
ber beads or a combination of tho
two. Can't you Just seo n wnll-oftroy
design worked solid In whlto nnd out-
lined beads? Or perhaps tho beads
would bo black and n black hat would
be worn with tho dress or Allco blue
or old rose or somo other becoming
and striking shndo.
How pretty this would bo In a
threo-pleco suit with tho ombroldory
consisting of a sklrtband sldo plaits
on the wnlst and collars and revers
on tho coatl Then thero aro other
Ideas a Persian design worked out In
vnrl-colored beads for Instance or a
spray of heavy flowers morning-
glories or passion flowers with cen-
ters nnd veins accentuated by moans
of beads In tho propor colors. In this
case the embroidery Itself would be
equally attracttvo In life colors or In
whlto or oven In black.
Then thero aro all the metal offects.
How lovely bronzo would bo on cream
voile or silver on puro whitol Voile
has the advantage of raveling easily
and so It would bo quite possible to
draw a thread all tho way along tho
materials and work from that. Even
drawnwork could bo combined with
these other effects.
Doesn't It mako you want to start
right away? Do havo a dress like thl
for next season. I'm going to!
Lace Flower Pins
Tho latest in dainty and charming
pins for wear on collars and cuffs U
a lace flower crocheted around an or
dlnary small safety pin. Tho flower li
usually In violet form though In whlta
and stands out stiffly from the pin.
When crocheted to a violet pin II
may be used to fasten Jabots of flow
ers and It Is Just as pretty though not
quite so new as applied to tho hatpin
A set of thoso lovely whlta laceplns
thrco for collar two for cuffs twe
hatpins and two stickpins would bi
tho prettiest present a bride or a trav
eler to Europe ever received.
The bar of the safety pin Ii
crocheted over and over to hide the

Dinner Making.
A knowledgo of tho composition of
the common foods Is essonllnl for tho
woman who would plan her dally
meals Intelligently. Thero are no
fixed laws regarding tho cholco of
iccrtatn vegetables to servo with cer-
I tain meats though Bonio have become
associated by custom and because
they harmonize.
When fish takes tho place of meat
as It lacks in nutrition tho meal Is
. balanced by a rich sauco for tho fish
and vegetable dessert that has consid-
erable nutriment. On tho other hand
when serving roast por' n simple- des
sert and lighter vegetable Is served
Soup generally begins the meal when it
Is well planned Soup for dinner

paro tho stomach for tho heavier

What to Have for Breakfast.
For most housewives the breakfast
Is tho most trying meal in the day
and anything In the wny of a new dish
Is always most welcome.
Egg Cream Toast Havo ready the
required amount of toast In a sauce
pan melt n tnblespoonful of butter;
when bubbling hot add a tablcspoonful
ot flour; cook until smooth then add
a cup ot milk a dash of popper and
salt. Stir In the beaten yolks of two
eggs and carofully told In the well-
beaten whites. Pour ovor tho but-
tered tonst nnd serve.
Frizzled Beef. Cut dried beef into
bits with tho scissors put Into a hot
omelet pan with a tnblespoonful of
butter stir until well sensoned then
add a cup of whlto sauco mado by
using a tablespoonful each of butter
and flour and a cup of milk.
Corn and Eggs With Bacon. Fry
eight slices of bacon take up on paper
and keep hot In the oven. Turn out
all but ono tablespoonful ot fat add
n hair can or corn stirring often.
Whon slightly browned break In four
eggs season with salt pepper and a
tnblespoonful of milk stir and cook
Servo on a platter garnished with
strips ot toast and the bacon
Buttermilk Muffins. Tako two cup-
fuls ot milk one egg halt a teaspoon-
tul of soda and halt a tcaspoonful ol
salt enough flour to make a batter-
Dako In a quick oven.
Baked Mackerol. Cut choice mack-
erel In halves and put In a buttered
baking dish. Slice two onions and
two tomatoes and lay over the fish
altercating the onion with the to-
mato cover the dish with buttered pa-
per and bake until thoroughly dono.
Pour over a littlo hot cream and sond

through tho meat chopper. Beat threo
eggs separately add three tablespoon-
fuls of water to tho beaten yolks salt
and pepper then fold In tho beaten
whites. Pour Into n hot pan sprinkle
with tho nuts fold and serve.
Rats Object to Gasoline.
Rats appear to have a strong objec-
tion to gasoline. Not long ago a vis-
itor oxplorlng the London sowers was
told by his guide as they walked un-
der I)ng Aero nnd Boho that tho sew-
ers In this neighborhood ore almost
entirely freo from rats. This Immu-
nity has been notlcM only since the
development of the motor-car indus-
try and the establishment of Its head-
quarters In Shaftesbury avenue and
Long Acre. A large quantity of gaso-
line thus finds Its way down the drain
and this in the opinion of the sower
men effectually keeps the rats away.
Long Island has a thief who steals
and eats dozens ot eggs. As the man
said coming down on the train he is
"some poacher."

told that It was a vory bad caso ot
eczema. Well I Just kept on using
everything that I could for nearly
eight years until I was advised to try
Cutlcura Ointment. I did so and I
found after a fow applications and by
bandaging my hands woll up that the
burning sensations woro disappearing
j I could Bleop woll and did not havo
j any Itching during tho night I began

tho Soap and Ointment I was much

treatment and thought If I could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result and after only having
a few applications and finding ease
from Cutlcura Ointment I thought It
deservod a fair trial with a severe

and I am glad to say that I have
