TWO SUITS THAI INTERPRET TYPES AM* '.*< f M '■•'sk*' n " v, t ,/f THE spring and summer of life, as interpreted in suits for young and older women, meet in the picture above. Here two conceptions are shown, one of them youthful and nov el with a picturesque hint of Spain in Its short jacket and handsome sash, the other dignified and conservative, exquisitely tailored, disdaining decora tions and faultless in lines; fulfilling the exacting requirement of mature women. Women who have reached middle life and acquired poise, are not amenable to all the whims of fash ion that lure their younger sisters. Youth may disport itself in any of the styles and carry them off, but many of these are not suited to older women. They are wise when they choose what looks best on them and, by this means, arrive at a distinction in dress that belongs to their yfears. The handsome suit at the left is made of beige-colored poiret twill. All that may be said of it is told by the camera which has not failed to pre sent every detail in its makeup. The For Her Dress-Up Occasion 1 THIS season presents for the coi sideratlon of busy but fastidiou mothers many ready-made frocks fc little girls that will come up to thel standards of good taste in choice c materials, in design and in workmai ship. To start off with, there ar everyday dresses in light-colored, plai chambrays and very small-checke ginghams, that have white lawn co lars and cuffs. A thin white rick-rac is used to finish edges of belts c decorative bands on them, or the co lars and cuffs are embroidered wit tiny silk or yarn flowers. Besides these pretty cotton frock there are bloomer suits made of blac taffeta silk with yarn stitching i bright colors for embellishment o collars, sleeves and sometimes as finish to hems. They are very simpl cut, much like the dress of colore organdy shown at the left of the tw pictured above. This little frock ma be taken as a first class example c models in colored and white organd which this spring offers to meet dres< up occasions in the little girls’ sun: mer. With it a pretty frock of dot ted swiss adds its testimony t the vogue for the simplest dt signs In little girls’ clothes. Th hat to match is another style plain, semi-fitted coat introduces a short, rippling peplum, in three sec tions, and falling within three inches of its hem. This is a new feature and the regulation narrow belt, of the material, finishes its brief story with a large and handsome ornament at the front, unexpected and unusual. Except for groups of three very small buttons set on the sleeves and be tween the sections of the peplum, there are no other decorative details. The hat of soft milan braid, with wreath of fruit and flowers, is exactly what it should be to bear this suit company. Navy blue tricotine makes the suit for younger women, with side-plaited skirt and short jacket. The jacket is lined with gray silk and opens over a vest of silk like the lining. Em broidery in self color gives the jacket a rich finish, which the skirt lives up to by means of a sash of heavy, blue satin ribbon, having its ends finished with the handsomest of silk fringes. n- feature worth considering.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR. MT. VERNON. GEORGIA. * THE ■ Ep! P 5 KITCHEN gy fei CABINET Hi ((g). 1921, Westerji Newspaper Union.) “Take a dash of water cold * And a little leaven o£ prayer, A little bit of sunshine gold Dissolved in morning air; Add to your meal some merriment And a thought for kith and kin; And then as a prime ingredient, A plenty of work thrown in; But spice it all with the essence of love And a little whiff of play; Let a wise old Book and a glance above Complete a well spent day.” CHOICE DISHES FOR OCCASIONS. When entertaining, some of the fol lowing dishes will be enjoyed, or they may suggest something ! @ simpler which may tie j prepared from the mate rial at hand. Tongue Slices. Beat the yolk of one egg slightly, add two table spoonfuls of French mustard and one-half teaspoonful of curry powder. Add gradually a few drops of tabasco sauce, a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, two tablespoonfuls of olive oil, and the juice of half a lemon. Into this dip the slices of boiled tongue, and when well covered, roll tlip slices in sifted bread crumbs taken from the center of a fresh loaf. Arrange in a well-oiled broiler and broil until the crumbs are nicely browned. Serve around a mound of hot string beans well buttered and seasoned. Luncheon Salad. —Cut cooked car rots and turnips in shoestring strips, add roast beef cut in small cubes, us ing one cupful of each. Add one-half cupful of string beans cut in small pieces. Make a dressing, of two table spoonfuls of vinegar and four table spoonfuls of oil, add one-half tea spoonful of salt, one-fourth tea spoonful of pepper and pour over the salad ingredients. Mix thor oughly and allow to stand an hour or longer. Arrange on crisp leaves of lettuce; garnish with peas and slices 1 of cooked beets. Serve very cold. Almond Pudding. —Cream one-half cupful of butter and add the yolks of three eggs that have been beaten thick. Stir in one-fourth of a pound of almonds blanched and ground fine In the nut grinder. Beat in the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs with one fourth of a cupful of powdered sugar. Bake in greased timbale molds in a pan of water in hot oven. Serve with fruit juice slightly thickened with ar row root or cornstarch. Coconut Ice. —Take one-half pint of coconut milk, one cupful of sugar find one pint of water. Boil the sugar and water together five minutes, add the coconut milk and cook two minutes longer, then cool and freeze. If a large quantity is desired soak freshly grated coconut in milk for two hours and drnin pit. This makes a more highly flavored Ice. Make a rule and pray God to help you to keep It, never, If possible, to lie down at night without being able to say, “I have made one human being at least a little wiser, a little happier, or a little better this day.” You will find It easier than you think and pleasanter.—Charles Kingsley. THE SAP IS RUNNING. Anyone who has had the thrill ot a visit to a sugar bush when the sap * is boiling and poured the delicious sirup over a LUBPI l ,un snow and eaten Pill t * ,e waxy deliciousness, has indeed experienced one of the joys of early spring In tne North ' "j country. To be sure, the sirup may be boiled at home and waxed on snow or Ice, but the sur roundings, the great woods, the chickadees and the smell of boiling sap in the open can never be Imagined If not experienced. There are so many fine dishes to be pre pared from maple sirup and sugar that the following may he enjoyed ; Maple Cream Pudding. —Sift togeth er one and two-thirds cupfuls of flour with two teaspoon fills of baking pow der. Cream one cupful of sugar with ; two tablespoonfuls of melted fat, beat well and add the yolk of an egg well beaten, two-thirds of a cupful of milk alternately with the flour mix ture. Beat well, add a little salt and fold In the stiffly beaten white of the egg. Pour Into a shallow pan and bake in a moderate oven. Serve with: Maple Cream Sauce. —Take one-half cupful of maple sugar, one tablespoon ful of corn sirup, two tablespoonfuls of water and boll to the soft ball stage. Pour boiling hot over the ] stiffly beaten white of an egg and beat j well. Add a pinch of salt and fold ; In one-third cupful of whipped j cream. Maple Filling for Cake. —Take one : cupful of maple sugar, or sirup may be used; If sugar, add one cupful of I sour cream; If sirup, use one-third | less of cream. Boil until waxy and I stir in one cupful or less of broken j hickorynut meats. Beat until smooth I and firm enough to stay on the cake. A buttered paper collar extending two inches above the cake may be pinned around It and the frosting or filling when quite soft poured on. Allow It to become firm before carefully re moving the paper. In this way a thick frosting may be placed on a cake top. Tvu-civcte.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Marks of a True Christian. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Christian's Standard of Character. I. In His Relation to God (vv. t, 2). He is dedicated to God. He con scientiously presents liis entire being to God. 1. The basis of this dedication (v. I) “The mercies of God.” The grand reason for the dedication of ourselves to God is because we are recipients of t lie mercies of God. 2. The nature of the dedication (v. 1). (1) An act of the free will. Those who voluntarily present; themselves to God, He consecrates to His Service. (2) It embraces the whole man (v. 1). By “bodies” is meant the entire per sonality—body, soul and spirit (1 Thess. 5:23). The inner life expresses itself through the body. (3) It is a living sacrifice (v. 1). In the Old Tes tament the victim was slain before be ing placed upon the altar, but in our case God wants our bodies as living instruments of service. (4) it is for rational service (v. 1). The logical outcome of our union with Christ is an intelligent service for Him. 3. The obligation of the one dedi cated to the Lord (v. 2). it is non conformity to tills world. The one who has handed himself over to the ! Lord will not be fashioned by this j evil, devil-governed age (I John 5:19). 11. In His Relation to His Fellow Christians (vv. 9-13). 1. Love without hypocrisy (v. 9). We should not merely pretend to love people while hating them in our hearts. 2. Abhor the evil and cleave to the good (v. 9). God's children must be like him. God hates wickedness of all sorts, so His children will have the same attitude towards sin that He has. 3. Be kindly affectioned one to an other (v. 10). This is to lie a broth erly love, namely, that which passes between those who are of one blood—■ members of the same family. 4. In honor preferring one another (v. 10). This is most difficult. It is natural to claim tlie best places for ourselves. Christ pleased not Him self. 5. Be not slothful in business (v. II) This hardly refers to secular af fairs. but rather to the church life which was to be characterized by zeal —energy and warmth, being regarded as service to the Lord. G. Rejoicing in hope (v. 12). Af fliction shall surely come to the Chris tian. In all trials the Christian should be filled with hope of future glory. 7. Patient in Tribulation (v. 12). This blessed hope will make possible a life of patience. 8. Continuing in prayer (v. 12). Only by constant and insistent prayer shall we be able to live above our circum stances and fix our hope upon Him whose coming shall bring deliverance from all our trials and transform us Into Ills glorious likeness. 9. Distributing to the necessity of saints—given to hospitality (v. 13). It is obligatory to Christians to divide their wages witli fellow Christians who are destitute (Eph. 4:28). 111. In His Relation to Unbelievers (vv. 14-21). 1. Do good for evil (v. 14). We are to bless those who persecute us. The natural man pays back in tlie same coin, but the renewed man responds in kindness and good deeds. 2. Be sympathetic (v. 15). We , should rejoice with those who rejoice | and weep with those who weep. Christ entered into tin* Joys of the wedding at ('ana, and wept with Mary and Martha. 3. Kind points of agreement (v. 10). We should seek for points of ngree ment in all tilings, Instead of being vain in our own conceits. 4. Live honestly before all men (v. 17). We should so live that our char acters may attract others to Christ. 5. Live In peace (v. 18). We should exhaust every means to bring about reconciliation. If tlie other party will not yield, we should see to it that it Is not our fault. 6. Be not vindictive (vv. 19-21). In stead of rendering eye for eye and tooth for tooth, we should heap coals of fire upon our enemies by deeds of kindness. Mothers Lead the Way. Children are what the mothers are; no fondest father’s fondest care cnn so fashion the infant’s heart, or so shape the life. —Landor. They That Bow Heads. They that how their heads before God may hold them erect before the world. —A. 8. Wilshire. Mothers.

With the increase and use of con crete roads and pavement the prob lem of proper maintenance becomes one of prime importance.

The months of April and October will usually be found to be suitable for this work. All joints should be carefully cleaned and filled with hot ...

It is important that tests be made to determine the melting point of the ma terial to be used. If the melting point is found to be too high, it may be re duced by the addition of creosote; if too low, it may be brought to the de sired consistency by the addition of tar of a melting point higher than 105 degrees. DEATH TRAPS ON ROAD SIDES Highway Authority Condemns Present Type of Construction—Not Suf ficiently Wide. The present type of highways is equipped with death traps on each side, says George C. Diehl, chairman of tlie good rouds hoard of the Amer ican Automobile association, ifi an article in Motor. He condemns the present ditch system of drainage ami advocates a system of underground drain pipes, making ditchless roads of our highways. “The highways of the future,” says Mr. Diehl, “must have roadways of sufficient width not merely for sufety, but for the comfortable confidence of the driver. A car owner may come through alive at the end of a day’s run on a popular thoroughfare, but the condition of Ids nerves after lie has balanced himself 50 times an hour between a yawning ditch at Ids right and whizzing curs at Ids left, is some thing that need not be described to the average driver, because he lias been there. “Fear of an open ditch breeds over caution that drives men to the other extreme and brings about collisions. On fairly wide roadways with deep ditches drivers ure reluctant to use only one-half of the roadway, since u momentary slip means disaster. Al lowance for a two or three-foot mar gin of safety by drivers between their cars and the ditch reduces the effec tive width four or five feet. Safety and comfort demand the discontinu ance of deep ditches. “On a pleasant Sunday afternoon In the touring season, probably most of these people are on the road. Kvery effort should lie made to care for their safety. The roads ought to lie made as safe as human ingenuity can make them, instead of being fitted with death traps on each side,” lie con cludes. FARM-TO-MARKET HIGHWAYS Definite Plan Inaugurated by Illinois Agricultural Association for Better Roads. The roads and legislative commit tees of the Illinois Agricultural asso ciation have started on a definite pro gram to get more and better market roads for Illinois. The association fa vors the adoption of the patrol system of maintaining roads on a large scale. Farmers want good roads to their markets and they want them now. A trip to Wisconsin, studying their pa trol system of maintaining roads, re veals the fact that they surpass Illi nois and lowa on good roads and at les-t expense than we nre building a few miles of concrete roads. Detriment to Rural Progress. We need more good roads. There Is no one factor which retards agri cultural development more, or which more detrimentally afreets a rural spirit of progress, than the present al most intolerable roads. Dollar Per Foot. Pennsylvania Is spending $5,000 a mile —almost a dollar a' running foot— for maintenance, and $02,500 per mile, or about sl2 per running foot, for the construction of state highways.
