THE CLAYTON TRIBUNE, CLAYTON, GEORGIA.
h ™ipj< ht
The Rt. Hon. James Bryce, when he
left the British embassy at Washing
ton, announced that he was retiring
from public life. That may have been
true, but like many another retired
British statesman, he is finding that
he is busier in his retirement than he
was as an ambassador.
Since his return to London from his
around-the-world trip, Mr. Bryce haB
had not many days to himself. He did
for a few weeks go into retirement
at his modest country home, "Hind-
leap,” Forest Row, Sussex, but his
retirement was almost entirely taken
up in writing, for Mr. Bryce is cer
tain to give the public something
about the countries he visited after
leaving America, and perhaps a book
about America.
His real work henceforth, however,
wljj. doubtless be, as one writer has
aptly put it, "to express the needs of
the community upon the broader sides
of life.” Since his return home Mr.
Bryce has delivered a number of addresses on a great variety of subjects. As
popular as he was in America as a speaker, he is likely to become as popular
In his own country.

DAINTY LITTLE CASE OF COMPAR
ATIVELY EA8Y CONSTRUCTION.
King Ferdinand spent the month of
November in Vienna, a humble sup
pliant for his own throne, it is said.
Becauso of this visit, the report went
forth from Sofia that this talented scion
of the house of Coburg, who but a
short time ago was to revive in all of
its ancient glories and breadth and
width the old Bulgarian empire, is to
be forced to abdicate in favor of his
own son, Crown Prince Boris.
The role Of suppliant sits so 111 on
no one as it does on this proud, ambi
tious man. He has all the pride of rank
and family and the yearning for suc
cess where -others have railed and
where he came so near achieving. He
comes of two great families, a son of
Prince Auguste of Saxe-Coburg and
Princess Clementine, daughter of
Louis Philippe, king of France, and Is
thus a cousin to most of the crowned
heads of Europe.
It was but five yeifrs ago that ho
paid another visit to Vienna and so
well and diplomatically performed his mission that he returns to Sofia to
realize one of his dreams.
But Hie disasters of war and blunders of diplomacy followed one on top
of the other in a year packed with more epoch making events than ever before
in the history of Bulgaria, and the restless, ambitious Ferdinand saw his vast
schemes and his grand dreams of empire dissipated.
The duchess of Marlborough, who
has opened sale work In Sunderland
house in aid of prisoners’ wives, is
the busiest philanthropist In London
today. She found time, however, to
co-operate In organizing a great pic
ture charity ball in Albert hall a few
days ago, in which she appeared in
Greek costume.
Every year the scope of tho duch
ess’ activities widens. She is seem
ingly unable to resist any appeal made
to her in a deserving cause. For the
last few weeks she has made public
engagements every day in addition to
attending committees and making her
own rounds among her charges.
Sunderland house has become a cen
ter of philanthropic undertakings, as
was Qrosvenor house for a generation
under the late duke of Westminster.
The duchess of Marlborough bade
farewell at Euston station to her
brother, William K. Vanderbilt, Jr.,
who left London on a special train
to board th steamship Caronla at Liverpool. Mr. Vanderbilt said he had been
in London and Paris on a month’s vacation and was returning to his work.
VISCOUNT HALDANE PRAISES AMERICA
The Thanksgiving dinner of the
American society in London was note
worthy because of the pronouncement
of the British government’s' indorse
ment of the Monroe doctrine by Vis
count Haldane, lord high chancellor.
”1 recently made a visit to the Uni
ted States,” Lord Haldane said, “and
came back not only with a vivid rec
ollection of the cordial welcome I re
ceived, but with a deep sense of the
high ideals the British and American
nations held in common—the high
ideals of citizenship of the two coun
tries.

Will Do Away With the Necessity of
“Weeding Out” Collection That
Has Become Too Large for
Convenient Handling.
In these days of amateur photog
raphy, photographs have the knack of
collecting in such large numbers that
it is rather difficult to know what to do
with all of them, but one way out of
tho difficulty is to make a dainty little
case for holding some of them,
This little novelty is made in cream-
colored satin and lined with white
Japanese silk and edged with a pale
pink silk cord carried into three little
loops at-each corner. It Is intended
for holding cabinet portraits, and
when closed measures 8 Inches by
inches.
The case should be stiffened with a
piece of cardboard sewn in between
the satin and lining at the back.
The edge of the pocket is bound with
narrow ribbon of a color exactly
matching the silk cord, and the word
"Photographs” Is embroidered across
the case In silk of a similar color. The
remaining space is filled up with a
simple design of two white daisies
and leaves worked in various shades
of green. Pale pink ribbon strings are
provided to secure the case when
closed.
This case looks very decorative ond
pretty upon a table, and the portraits
are easily accessible to anyone who
desires to inspect them, and at tho
same time, when placed In the case,
they are well protected from dust and
dirt, and they will-keep in good condi
tion.
WITH THE LINGERIE FROCK
Handkerchief Linen Scarf Completes
the Exceptional Daintiness of
the Costume.
Of particular daintiness are the
handkerchief linen scarfs to be worn
with lingerie frocks. To make one of
the pretty trifles, procure a strip of
linen about two yards in lengtli and
a half or three-quarters of a yard
wide. Scallop the edges with tho
aid of a spool or thimble and pencil,
pad them sparingly and buttonhole in
fine white mercerized twist. Embroid
er tile inside otype scarf with any
flower or conventional design desired.
Forget-me-nots thickly scattered at the
scarf ends and trailing in thinner lineB
along the sides are most effective. If
one hasn’t a stamping outfit, any pro
fessional stamper will gladly follow in
structions. Eyelet work can be used,
giving the scarf a less solid and heavy
appearance. The work should h« fin
ished with more than the usual neat
ness on the wrong side, as it will, of
course) be frequently exposed to view.
About the scalloped edge whip Valen
ciennes lace an inch or an inch and
a half wide. The flowers may be
worked In white or natural colors.

Dainty Apron Requires Only That Ma
terial and Would Take But a Short
Time to Make.
The sweetest little apron can be
made in a very short time with two
handkerchiefs; nothing else is needed.
The handkerchiefs should be gentle
men's size, and have a pretty border.
To make, lay one handkerchief out
diagonally with the points at the top
and bottom; lay the second handker
chief over it quite square, so that the
top point of the under one comes ex
actly in the center of the top of the
second handkerchief, as in the small
diagram. Turn up the two corners
of top handkerchief, and for the pres
ent pin in place. Mark out with a
pencil or by tacking that portion of
the first handkerchief that hangs be
low the turned-up corners.
Cut that portion ofT, and secure It
to the top handkerchief, fulling It a
little as you sew It on. The turned-
up portions must be secured so as to
form two little pockets. The remain-

THING TO HER TASTE HERE.
der of tho handkerchief that has been
cut is utilized in making the band and
strings.
The uses of an apron like this are
many and varied, they are so dainty
that they may be put on a best gown
when tea is being served, and thus
prevent any accident from spoiling it.
The apron has two pockets; thus it
is most useful for work, and could be
kept for this purpose alone, leaving
the work in the pockets and simply
putting the apron on when It is want
ed. When helping at a bazaar or
tennis teas, it is very becoming, espe
cially if all the helpers wear the same
kind, with the same coloring in the
border; it is easily washed, and will
look like new again if carefully
ironed.
- -Tango Rose,- New Color.
Tango rose is the new shirtwaist
color. This shade is an indescribably
brilliant one, between cerise and coral,
which is seen sometimes in wonderful
old embroidered crepe shawls. One
woman who owns such a shawl is hav
ing it draped into a stunning evening
gown this season. No cutting is nec
essary, for the clinging crepe may be
manipulated into the most graceful
lines, one corner of the shawl being
caught against one shoulder, and the
main portion of the shawl almost cov
ering a foundation skirt of white
satin. A spoclally beautiful shawl of
this sort over one hundred years old,
according to its possessor's statement,
has been mado into an evening wrap,
a deep burnoose hood at the back ta
king up the material so that the
fringed front edgeB fall gracefully over
shoulders and arms. Tango rose may
be had in crepe meteor, crepe de chine,
chiffon crepe, silk and wool lan3-
downe, and other fabrics of similar
quality, suitable for handsome blouses
and frocks.
Best Method for the Preparatlpn of
Breakfast Rolls—Excellent Milk
Biscuits—Cream Soup a Fa
vorite With Many.
Breakfast Rolls — Dissolve two
ounces of butter In a little warm milk.
Put one pound of flour into a pan, add
the milk with the butter, stirring In
before adding to it a teaspoonful of
baking powder and a pinch of salt.
Mix into a stiff paste, knead well,
form Into little rolls on a floured
board, and bake in a quick oven for
20 minutes.
Sheep's Tongues—Cook three or
four sheeps’ tongues in hot water
till tender, then take them up and re
move the skins. Place in a stewpan,
dredge with flour and add a ,gill of
nicely flavored stock. Simmer gently
for 16 minutes, then place the tongues
on a hot dish and add 10 drops of
lemon Juice to the gravy. Bring to
the boil and pour over tho tongues.
Milk Biscuits—Rub three ounces of
lard into one pound of flour. Add a
pinch of salt and a teaspoonful of
baking powder, with sufficient milk to
form a stiff paste. Rol! out on a well
floured board and cut Into biscuits,
using a pastry cutter. Prick each one
several times and bake in a hot oven
for 15 minutes. These biscuits are
excellent with cheese, and .will keep
well if placed In an air-tight tin.
Cream Soup—Wash and grate a red
carrot, chop two onions and peel and
slice four potatoes. Cook in a little
water till soft enough to mash to a
pulp with a wooden spoon, then add
half a pint of milk, one ounce of but
ter and a teaspoonful of cornflour

per and salt to taste. Beat all up to
gether and serve. A little chopped
parsley may be added to improve the
appearance.

into a basin, add half a pound of cas
ter sugar, and beat to a cream. Stir
In half a pound of fine flour, which
has been dried in the oven, and a
teaspoonful of caraway seeds. Shape
the dough into biscuits, and allow
them to stand on a tin plate for an
hour. Then place in a moderate
oven and bak9 to a golden brown.
For the Artlztlo Woman.
To the woman with blonde tresses,
or better still, hair in which there is a
glint of auburn, nothing would be more
acceptable than a hope chest kimono
of aqua marine green. When envel
oped In Its flowing folds shj will look
like a water nymph lately come from
her quiet pool.
Make the kimono of silk crepe or
crepe de chine. Have It rather long,
slightly trailing all around, and smock
it back and front to give It a graceful
fulness. To further emphasize the
nymth effect, embroider upon It water
lines In white floss silk. Tha centers
should be yellow, and may be In
French knots, and the foliage should
be a darker green. Trail the lilies
deton the two fronts and about the bot
tom of the kimono.
Parker House Rolls.
Three cupfuls scalded milk, four ta-
blfcspoonfuls butler, three tablespoon
fuls sugar, one teaspoonful salt, eight
cupfuls flour, one yeast cake dissolved
in one-fourth cupful warm water. Pour
the scalded milk over the butter, sugar

biscuit cutter, brush with melted but
ter, crease, press edges together, put

If you do not always feel that you
can afford all milk and all butter, take
half water and half lard.
Long Gloves With Cuffs.
Long white gloves are made with
wide, turnback cuffs at the elbow or
slightly above It. These cuffs, which
flare out and away from the arm, are
made of black velvet, mounted on kid,
and embroidered with gold or silver
beads, applied in straight lines. The
stitching on the backs of these gloves
is also marked with beads, to match
those used on the cuffs.
Embroidered Blouse.
A charming new blouse of white
chiffon is embroidered with dragon
flies. There are two on each side of
the front closing. They are worked
with beads of silver, pale blue, mauve
and iridescent green. The dragon flies
are in graceful poses, and form a dec
orative touch to the blouse.
Breakfast Apple.
There Is an interesting device to
make the preparation of the breakfast
apple easy. To begin with, there is a
little circular board on which the ap
ple Is placed. Then there is a circular
band of steel, with three or four
cross pieces of metal, sharp on tho
lower edge, fastened at each end to
the steel circle and bisecting each oth
er In the middle. The big circle is
placed outside the apple, which Is now
on the little board, and then is pushed
down to the board. The cross pieces
cut the apple into segments, each just
the right size to pare and eat—or to
eat unpared, if you have a taste for
apple skin.

teaspoon melted butter. Beat until
light and smooth, then add six table
spoons of milk or cream and the yolks

floors and oilcloth, and when mixed
with sweet oil U excellent for polish
ing furniture.
