HIP PADS AND STRAW HATS IN
FASHION'S MART, M'LISS SAYS
The Latest Vogue, If Analyzed, Reveals Itself
to Be a Mere Recrudescence of Styles Our
Grandmothers Were Familiar With
THERE Is nothing now under tho sun. Even tho supposedly novel fashions;
In women's wear that nre brought out every season with startling regularity
but emphaslzo this.
I wag talking with Miss Edith M. Burtls, one of tho fashion experts of
tho Ladles' Home Journal, tho other dnj'. She had Just come back from New
York, and among tho "last cries" that sho had brought with her was . Well,
What do you think? A hip pad.
I'll have to modify my ilrst statement, though, for this 20th century model
of a bygono pattern had a distinctive feature that hip pads, as our grand
mothers knew them, lacked.
Our grandmothers were content to havo hips thnt remained tho same she;
for as long as the pads lasted, at any rate. Tho modern contraption, how
ever, Is ntted with roomy pockets. In which pads of various sizes can bo
inserted. Thus, If your mood demands thnt you havo long, svolto lines," with
hips of barely appreclnblo size, you put In small cushions; If a tendency toward
corpulency Is desired, there nro largo ones to fill tho need.
MIrs Durtls also had other revivals to show. Among them was an nffalr
of stiffened material to bo worn tinder a frock In order to glvo tho lampshade
effect. That can be discovered In tho old fashion prints. An underskirt of
net, boned and taped In such a way as to present a bulgo nt tho slus and a
flat appearnnco at tho front and back, sho also brought forth. Simply tho
hoop-skirt Idea reborn 1
"Fashions move In cycles," was tho way sho explained It, "thcro seem
to bo only a certain number of stylo Ideas. When you want something really
new, you go back ana get something very old. That's tho secret."
A Different Pace
Why Is It that a woman who feels tho pangs of exhaustion nt tho very
mention of a brisk two-mllo walk enn sprint for leagues up nnd down the
aisles of a crowded shop with tho driving energy of n locomotlvo7
He's Really Heal
Tho man purchaser at tho woman's hosiery counter sounds llko a stereo
typed comic, but go Into any shop these hectic days and you can bco him by
tho dozens, puzzled as to size, helplessly dependent on tho saleswoman, but
emphatically agreed on tho desirability
The Straw Hat Man Speaks
Dcforo tho January bills for our winter chapeaux havo been rendered, straw
bonnets make their appearance In tho windows. Theso bonnets, a leading
manufacturer Informed mo tho other day, havo been In tho process of making
since September. In other words, beforo you've got your 1915 summer model
off your head, the kind you aro going to replace It with In 1010 has not only
been designed, but Is In fair way of being made.
"Tho time was," Mr. Hat Man told me. "when wc looked to Paris exclusively
for Ideas and designs. Gradually, though, tho "Mado In America" Influence
Is making Itself felt and now wo copy from New York models as well as from
those conceived In tho French capital. Maybo tho day will como when wo will
not havo to go across tho Atlantic for pointers on headgear. We'ro clover
enough to make tho lints, and It Isn't too much to hopo that wo'll begin to And
out that wo'ro able also to originate."
If straws show which way tho wind blows, big hats with wldo brims and
medium-sized crowns will bo tho popular shnpo next summer. Though hat
manufacturers, llko dramatists, say that tho Individual who can discover what
tho public wants, beforo It Is ready to declare Itself, will be hailed 03 tho man
of the century.
A Modern
A frenzied shopper's Idea of a truo
licks her stamps for her.
Fat Days Arc Here
The musclo on tho arm of a little boy who stands at tho door of a popular
Chestnut street Jowelry shop Is as suro an indication of tho wavo of pros
perity that Is submerging' us all as tho smllo on a broker's face.
Tho Httlo boy's musclo la at least two Inches larger this year than It was
last; and it all comes from opening and closing tho door of tho shop that
engages him.
Yesterday at noon tho little Instrument that clicks every tlmo a patron
enters registered 1607, and ho admitted that at rush hours they surged in in
such numbers that to get them nil was impossible.
last Monday, however, which was a halcyon day for all the merchants,
he totaled 3676 In nlno hours. Not bad that, even if only half of tho entrants
were actual purchasers. M'LISS.
Letters to the Editor of the Woman's Page
Address Ml communication! to M'f.l", enre of the Krenlnir .ulcer. Write on one
Ide of the paper only.
Dear M'LIss Please write information as to tho words "religious" and
"Christ-like." Are they both needed In speaking of a person or would tho
one adjective bo sufficient? B y
Federalsburg, Md.
Christ-like means having tho attributes characteristic of Christ. Rellclous
means, pious, devout, holy, conscientious. A man can bo religious without
attaining a Christ-llko piano, but a Chrlst-llko man would necessarily bo
religious. You might speak of a Mohammedan as religious, but you would
scarcely call him Christ-like.
Dear M'LIss Ts It possible to buy a cronkless Ice cream freezer? And
What Is tho advantage of this kind over tho old make? p. t. U.
Yes; in the houso furnishing department of any big shop. The big advan
tage Is that you don't havo to turn them. They aro particularly adapted to
tho malting of mousses and whipped cream mixtures. They are, howovcr,
more expensive than the usual freezer.
Dear M'LIss "What Is tho difference between Hepplewhlto and Jacobean
furniture? I have an old pleco of furniture that I think Is a real antique and
I'd llko to be able to place it. MARIE L.
The difference between Hepplewhlto and Jacobean Is the same as tho
difference between day and night; white and black. The former, which came
Into vogue In England at the tlmo of George III, is light nnd elegant In style,
while the latter, that was designed in the early Elizabethan period, is heavy,
plain and severe. There are books at the public library which will give you
detailed descriptions of period furniture. They would be helpful In Identify
ing your own. '
Dear M'LIss Help me out In an argument. A says that a certain stew
made of beef, onions and other ingredients called "porkolt" Is a Hungarian
dish, I maintain that this Is goulash. WAGER.
Porkolt and goulash are both Hungarian dishes.

"I havo been a silent reader of your

One can of tomatoes, ono can of corn, ono
can of Irish potaocs cut Into small pieces
(uso tomato can for a measure), three
large onions, pepper, salt. Add this to
the stew, pork preferred. There should
bo ono quart of moat after It is cooked
tender and tho bones are removed. I
have cooked this with beef, pork and
mutton, and havo always found it good.
For a change try nddtng a few seeded
raisins to potato custard before baking.
Also currants In rice pudding. They aro
nice. Won't some sister who hates spirits
aa much as I do try a glass of sweet
milk in her fruit cako when baking and
leave out the wtneT She will find it im

round and round In long strings and
crochet them Into round rugs. They are
both pretty and serviceable, C. T, D."
A notable addition to our collection of
trustworthy recipes. She Is practical and
economical two excellent things In a

toothsome fruit cake without spirits of
any kind. I have never tried substituting
milk for wine.

Reasons Why America Should
Not Continue Plans for
National Defense
"Wo nro In no danger of nttnek
unless because other nations fear
our aggression. They will havo
good reason to fenr our aggression
If wo increase our armaments, for
the President has admitted that we
nro not threatened from any quar
ter. If we nrm, South America,

ures of defense against us, nnd wc
shall nntngonize European nations
who will beliove that we nro taking

"International good will Is ef
fective, and especially so nt n tlmo
like tho present, when humanity
longs for some other method than
slaughter for Bottling difficulties.
Tho method of good will disarm
other nations of the motive and at
tack." This Is tho platform of tho branch of
tho Woman's Peaco party which opened a
shop In the Lincoln Building this week to
do war relief work, nnd, Incidentally, to
disseminate antl-prcpnrcdncss literature
among the men and women who go there.
Mrs. J. Reeco Lowls, delcgato to tho re
cent Woman's Peaco Congress at Tho
Hague, said, In speaking of tho move
ment, "It doesn't seem strango thnt
women whoso Ideals of life nnd home nro
shattered by war should tj tnvocnttng
tho prevention of war. Why, wnr doesn't

Canvas Tub for Baby
Hero Is a clever nrrnngement for his
highness the baby. Tho low bathtub
has caused backncho to many a busy
mother, and this plan of having tho tub
mado of soft canvas Is very conslderato
of baby's tender skin. Tho small canvas
tub ts suspended from a frame which fits
over tho top of tho regular bathtub. This
Is arranged so thnt It Is not even neces
sary for tho nurso to lean over, for the
"tub maj' be drnwn closo to tho edgo of i
tho frame. '
Another advantnge of this plan, says '.
the Popular Sclenco Monthly, la the sani- I
tatlon It affords. Tho canvns tubs may ,
bo laundered like an ordinary shower
curtain. Whllo not In uso the whole
thing may be suspended from a hook
on tho bathroom wall. A felt bumper
Is placod underneath tho frame, when In
use to prevent It from rubbing tho tub.
A good thing for grandfather to give tho
now baby.

"It Is burned to tho socket" It flickers

PELLAGRA, ITS CAUESS, SYMPTONS
AND EFFECTS;
By WILLIAM
WHATEVER may be the specific
cause of pellagra, bo it spoiled
maize, a diet too restricted In variety or
some unknown toxin or bacterium, tho
dlseaso Is apparently on tho Increase In
this country, and In somo parts of tho
South It Is giving health authorities great
concern.
Unfortunately, the earlier descriptions
of tho disease emanated from hospitals
for tho Insane, where many pellagrins
ultlmatclv wound un. This has tinged
the popular Idea of pellagra with tho
fancy that It Is a nervous or mental mal
ady. It Is not.
Competent observers In prlvnto praetlco
describe tho earlier manifestations of pel
lagra ns our old friends, "stomach trou
ble" and "biliousness." It Is asserted
that many pellagrous Individuals hover
exhibit tho skin, tonguo and nervous
symptoms of tho disease, but remain
throughout life victims of a mild degree
of poisoning which manifests Itself as
"stomach trouble" or "biliousness."
So early ns 1830, tho earlier symptoms
wero given by Oolsmont ns follows:
"Loss of appetite, a disgust for food, a
heaviness In tho stomach and dryness of
tho mouth." And Zancttl, long beforo
that, called attention to tho curious un
usual lassltudo felt by tho patient for
weeks preceding tho eruption, which las
sltudo mado it difficult for tho patients
(In Italy) to carry on their work.
"Heartburn" and a burning sensation
In tho stomach nro commonly complained
of. Pain In tho head, a feeling of heat
and heaviness In tho head, dlz2lnrss, n
tendency to melancholy, muscular feeble
ness, constipation or diarrhoea! move-
HUNDRED NEEDIEST CASES
CHRISTMAS Is tho tlmo for charity,
and tho various ways In which char
itable deeds aro accomplished aro often
Interesting, often positively mysterious.
Tho story of a wealthy Philadelphia
woman, who asked tho papers to send hor
tho names of tho hundred neediest cases
In tho city, nnd took It upon herself to
relievo tho distress of these enses per
sonally, should bo cited as an cxamplo
of tho truo meaning of charity.
Although It Is absolutely essential that
tho I.ndy Bountlful's real nnmo remains
a secret, her net belongs to tho public,
nnd tho public has a right to bo ac
quainted with her whole-hearted manner
of caring for thoso who nro unablo to do
for thcmaolvcs. This woman took It upon
herself to avoid tho regular organized
charities, becauso sho firmly believes thnt
tho personnl touch, the meeting of tho
donor nnd tho recipient. Is essential to tho
pride nnd well-being of tho poor. Sho nl
wayB respects tho feelings of others, nnd
In each ItiBtnnco of her bcncfnctlons thcro
hns been no Ill-feeling, no embarrassment
attached.
Naturally many enses of human Interest
como under her notice, nnd, whllo pathos
always accompanies poverty, this lady
of tho noblo heart striven nnd succeeds
HINTS AS TO THE PROPER
TODAY tho decoration of tho homo Is
assuming a rational tendency and we
are becoming moro nnd moro convinced

taste. In tho treatment of windows, for
Instance, wo aro beclnnlni: to realize that

XMAS JOYS FOR UNFORTUNATE
PROVIDED 1JY CITY MISSION
Poor Families, the Sick and the In
mates of Prisons Remembered
More than 1000 poor families and several
thousand persons were the recipients to
day of food nnd other nrtlcles that took
them somo of tho good cheer of tho
Christmas season through tho generosity
of tho Protestant Episcopal City Mission.
Under the direction of the Rev. Dr. H.
Cresson Mcllcnry, tho acting superin
tendent, tho poor, suffering and Impris
oned were remembered In all parts of tho
city and In practically nil tho Jails and
prisons.
Shortly nfter noon representatives of
1000 poor families, to whom special Invi
tations had been extended by tho mission,
assembled for services In Old St. Paul's
Church, 3d street below Walnut, nnd at
tho conclusion of tho worship hour 1000
baskets of turkey and other foodstuffs
and groceries wore distributed among
them. Further cheer was extended
throughout the city among tho aged and
111 who wero unablo to attend tho mission
services by baskets sent out In wagons
ana auiomooiies.
Tho Rev. A. L. Mellet, chaplain for tho
mission at the Philadelphia Hospital, ar
ranged for services at that place, and at
tho Home for Convalescing Women In
Chester County a special dinner and dis
tribution of gifts was planned. A beau
tiful tree has been erected. At tho Home
for Consumptives, at Chestnut Hill, spe
cial dinners are to be served.
