| Handy Pass Closet j
Simple Type of Pass Closet.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In remodeling a house In Washing¬
ton, D. C. t It was necessary to make
two adjacent bedrooms Into the dining
robin and kitchen. Each of these rooms
had a clothes closet about thirty inches
deep. Instead of doing away with
these closets, one was cut through for
a passageway between the remodeled
rooms, and the door was placed on the
dining room side to balance the posi¬
tion of tile closet door already there.
The closet on this side was success¬
fully converted Into a pass closet at
relatively small cost. The wall was
removed from the upper pari on the
kitchen side, and shelves were built
at convenient Intervals to hold dishes.
A half door was placed on the kitchen
side, and (he former door of the closet,
on the dining room side, was cut in
half for convenience. The space be¬
tween the doors and the wall was
utilized for a built-in bullet or side¬
board. The lower part of the pass
closet on the dining room side was
used to store the electric toaster, per¬
colator, wattle iron and other articles
needed In the dining room but not in
the kitchen.
Soiled dishes, are passed through the
lowest shelf of the upper closet to the
kitchen side, where a continuation of

Print Organdies Are Very Popular , I
By JULIA BOTTOMLEY
Print organdies hold a prominent
place in the fashions of the season.
They are of fine textures nnd ex¬
quisite colorings. I’nstels are used
for dance frocks, dainty printing of
designs In one color and floral pat¬
terns which lend an urge to the hand
sopie girl to file herself to the mil¬
liners and invest in one of the ever
popular leghorn hats decorated with
a wide velvet ribbon streamer. Some
of the well-liked color effects are pro¬
duced by a white ground besprinkled
with gay floral patterns, nnd a wide,
spacing separating the figures. Polka
dots are charming and ttie smaller
plaid patterns are splendid for chil¬
dren’s dresses.
Among (lie ensembles of the present
summer season, printed crepes are
prominent. Numerous individual color
schemes are possible from the great
collection. Brown backgrounds with
green colorings iri dainty all-over ef¬
fects, necktie patterns and prints with
decidedly Irregular motif scattered
over the background, are notable de¬
signs. Yellow with navy, white and
red, and various other combinations
of colors hi floral prints are much in
evidence. These floral prints In chif¬
fon are in such vast numbers, it re¬
quires care in making a selection and
it must be the decision of the one'who
is to wear the garment. It may be
pleasing to the eye of .the shopper,
hut she should consider how It will
look to -others—and such is the tost
that Should he made of any other ap¬
parel. 'Often flattery lurks in various
patterns and just ns often it is a puz¬
zle to select the one that will be of
the most service from that standpoint.

Fairy Tale for the Children
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER
Now Air. Indigo Bird wore a beauti¬
ful suit—a deep, deep blue, of the
most wondrous color, and Mrs. Indigo
wore a dull brown dress, with little
touches of blue on her wings.
She didn't seem to care how she
dressed, while Mr. Indigo Bird seemed
to think more of his appearance than
of anything else.
He always looked so dapper and
stylish. She looked so dowdy and
dull.
“Why do some creatures say that 1
don’t treat you well?" Air. Indigo
asked of his mate.
“It’s this way,” commenced Mrs. In¬
digo Bird. “They say that yog wear
all the beautiful clothes and that 1
have to have the shabby old ones.
“Of course, instead of knowing my
reason for my dull doilies, and my
lack of Interest in beautiful ones, they
at once say it is because you don’t
care for me and so won’t let rue have
lovely feathers.”
"Such nonsense!" exclaimed Air. In¬
digo. “Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep,
such nonsense," he repeated.
“Let’s have some dinner and forget
all about It,” said Mrs. Indigo.
“All right,” said her mate, “we will
have some dinner and forget such talk
and Idle chatter."
They had a fine meal of seeds and
herbs and grasses, and for dessert
they had a few insects.
These they considered most de¬
licious !
Insects to the Indigo birds are as
delicious for dessert as ice cream and
cake would be for people.

Health and Housework
(Prepared by the United states Department
of Agriculture.)
Those who cook on a gas or elec¬
tric range or on nn oil stove which tais
its oven set above the burners, do
not have to stoop to react) the oven.
But the coal or wood range which is
so much used in farm homes generally
has the oven alongside of the flrebox
below tlte level of the top of ttie stove.
The housewife who has a batch of
bread, a cake, pie, roast, or anything
else in the even, may find that, be¬
cause of constantly stooping to watch

in the song.
But then he would begin again, sing¬
ing lustily once more, aud still anoth
er time this same thing would happen
—>fr. Indigo’s voice would die away
toward the end of the song.
This Is the way Air. Indigo Bird has
of singing. But this time he had a
great secret, aud Airs. Indigo Bird had
one, too.
Back in the grassy nest were little
blue and white eggs, such precious Sit
tie eggs.
Soon they would become dear little
Indigo Birdlings and how happy and
excited Mr. and Airs. Indigo Bird
were! The little birdlings would soon
come into the world, then they would
fly after they had received their les¬
sons in flying, after that they would
hunt for food—and later on they too j
would guard other little nests of blue
and white eggs.
So Airs. Indigo Bird dreamed on
during the time she looked at the lit- j
tie eggs. And so Air. Indigo Bird ;
thought as he sang so bravely to all
the world.
It was all he could do to keep from
singing, “Cheep, cheep, the little bird¬
lings, the little birdlings,” but of
course he was too wise a bird father
to do that! Only that was the little
song singing in his heart, and his tiny
breast fluttered nnd beat as he
thought of those tiny eggs and of all
the joy they would mean to himself
and Airs. Indigo.
Soon the birdlings came out of the
eggs, and Airs. Indigo whispered to
her mate:
“Aren’t they beautiful? Do you
wonder I wear old clothes? And
what do the gossips know?”
For Airs. Indigo likes her dull brown
feathers, for then she can’t he seen h.v
cruel people who hunt for the eggs of
little birds.
Shahbiness is her protection aud
she likes it.

j CARAMEL CUSM DESSERT]
Custard desserts appear more fre¬
quently ns eggs become abundant in
the spring. One does not want them
all the same flavor, however. Caramel'
custard Is usually an acceptable vari¬
ation, and is easy to make. The
sirup with which it is flavored may
he kept on hand, or it may he cooked
as wanted. Half n cup of granulated
sugar is allowed to brown or caramel¬
ize over tfie fire, while in another
pan. some water is brought to the
boiling point. Add half a cup of boil¬
ing water to the caramelized sugar
and simmer 5 minutes. The bureau
of home economics gives the follow¬
ing directions for making caramel
custard:
1 quart milk 4 tbs. caramel
5 eggs sirup
>4 cup sugar !4 tsp. salt
14 tsp. vanilla
Heat the mills slightly with The
sugar, salt, and earumel. Be sure
the caramel is entirely dissolved be¬
fore this mixture Is poured into the
lightly beaten eggs. Add the vanilla.
Tour the mixture into custard cups,
and add a small piece of butter to
each. Bake in a pan surrounded by
water in a moderate oven. Test by
placing the point of a knife in the
center of the custard and if it comes
out clean remove the cups of custard
at once front the hot water. The
custards may he served either hot or
cold with caramel sirup if more of
the caramel flavor is desired.
Keep the Back Straight When Looking

maker. They recommend, as a remedy
for the tired feeling due to stooping
down many times to look into the
oven, that the housewife train herself
to bend knees, ankles, and hips, but
keep her back straight when obliged
to look at anything below the usual
angle of vision. A little practice—
perhaps a few morning “setting-up ex- j
etcises will assure good balance in }
this position, and if one is careful
to think about keeping the back
straight, going to the oven will be a j
beneficial bending rather than 1

Good Only to the Ejre
The expression “Dead sea fruit” is
synonymous with “Apples of Sodom."
The apple trees around the Dead sea
bore fruit lovely to the eye but In¬
edible. One explanation Is that these
apples were a kind of gall. They were
rich, glossy, purplish red in appear¬
ance, but filled with an intensely bit¬
ter, porous, easily pulverized sub¬
stance. The term is applied to
anything wonderful in contemplation
but disappointing in realization.
Vienna’* Growth
It is nearly 2,000 years since as
urban settlement was founded on the
territory which today is covered by
Vienna. The small Roman military
camp Vindobona developed into the
modern metropolis with her enormous

meters, second only to London.

Augusta was the capital of Georgia
for a time during and after »he Revo¬

United States was ratified there in
1788. Other capitals have been Sa¬
vannah in 1777, Louisville in 1795 and
Milledgeville in 1S07. Atlanta is the
present capital.
