SISTER MARY’S KITCHEN Variety in Prune Dishes

■ —■■ SE plenty of prunes 0 during these early spring days. From breakfast t to dinner there is a place for them in every •iitewed prunes for breakfast may pull if served •as plain stewed prunes too often, but if lemon juice be added and the prunes carefully removed from the stones aod lue whole served in glass as a fruit cocktail the family won’t object to the "same old prunes.” Trune whip Is a delicious and nourisIng dessert. It can be varied in several ways—the sauce can be boiled custard or whipped cream, nuts cau be added to the pudding itself. Children and Invalids may be served prune whip quite as happiiy as well persons. PRUNE WHIP. Five eggs (whites), ono- cup mashed stewed prunes, one-third cup sugar, oneeighth teaspoon salt, one-eighth tensspoon cream tartar, one teaspoon vanilla. It will take about one-third of a pound of uncooked prunes to makes one cup mashed and stewed prunes. Wash prunes carefully through several waters. Cover with one cup of cold water and let 6tand an hour. Cook in same water till tender. Remove stones and rub prunes through a colander. Add sugar and cook till the mixture begins to ; hieken. Remove from tire and let cool. Add salt, cream of tartar and vanilla to prunes. Add gradually to the whites of the eggs beaten till stiff and dry. This means absolutely "stiff and dry.” The whites must stand up. They should be beaten on a large piarfer with a tvire whisk. Put pudding mixture in a buttered pudding dish. Set in a pan of hot vater and bake twenty-five minutes In a moderate oven.

1922 EVOLVES NEW FASCINATOR

Anybody who was alive and old enough to take notice of the sartorial doings of womankind during the prudish eighties and the modest nineties will recall without effort the “fascinators” with which lovely woman was wont to swathe her head in winter, her shoulders in milder weather. Fashioned of yarns both soft and other wise—“lce wool,” an especially prickly variety, was esteemed as ultra-smart-these little shawls, capes and scarfs were as essentia! a part of a maiden's equipment as today her many sweaters are. Times have changed, and so have women. Today the veriest neophyte at fashion's slirlne knows too much to bundle up her head and spoil her silhouette. noods and head wrappings

Objects to Eleven in Five Rooms WA.XTS JOB WHERE SHE C.4.V KEEP BABY ‘Pay Don't Make no Difference ’

“It don't make no difference what they i pay me. Just so I can keep my baby with me," was the plea of the girl facing Mrs. Elizabeth Carr across the desk at the Indiana free employment bureau. She had brought the baby with her, determined not to return to her husband's home, for, as she explained, he Insisted upon living with “his folks" and there were eleven of them crowded Into a five room house — “end I don't want my baby to have to grow up there," she insisted. After hearing her story Mrs. Carr, who has charge of the work of placing domestic help in the homes, filled out a card with the girl’s name, age and the kind of work she could best do—in this case housework was especially desired since the applicant’s first need was a place where she and the baby could have a home together—searched through her card Index for an application for a housekeeper from a home where the baby might not be unwelcome and when a call v. as found which seemed to fill the need, the young mother set out hopefully to Investigate it. Tier's is one of the kind of eases with which Mrs. Carr Is often called upon to deal In her position as head of the department of domestic service, which is a part of the Free Employment Bureau service. Primarily she is In charge of an employment office, but as she says “the welfare work that could be done through this office appeals to the employment office In a way that Is hard to resist. “We were able to assist b fnmily we discovered where six of the members were sick, one with tuberculosis, the others with pneumonia." she said. “A deaf woman who was an excellent cook, but whose physical disability kept her from getting a place, was In a way to become a public charge, until we succeeded in placing her. A toy who suffered from deafness because of which he was Enable to secure employment, bad been declared a vagrant by the police, but since finding a position through the employment office, he not only supports himself, but also his mother, and has become a self-respecting citizen.” The employment- office, however, has many cnll3 other than those of a cbarltible nature. Each day more Indianapolis people are making use of the service It

One-quarter cup cornstarch, onAhalf pound prunes, two cups cold water, threefourth cup sugar, two Inch piece stick cinnamon, one and one-third cups bolting water, one lemon. Wash prunes through several waters. Add the two cups of cold water and let stand an hour. 801 l until soft in same 1 water. Remove stones from prunes and , return prunes to the water In which j they were cooked. Add sugar, elnna- , mon and boiling water and simmer fifteen minutes. Mix cornstarch to a smooth paste with a little cold water. Stir Into prune mixture and cook, stirring constantly for five minutes. Remove from fire and take out the cinnamon. Add the Juice of the lemon and turn into a mold to become firm and chill. Serve with whipped cream. This is a simple delicious dessert. RICE BORDER'WITH TRUNKS. | Eighteen lirge prunes, four tablespoons : rice, one fourth cup sugar, one-third cup J shredded pistachio nuts, two cups milk, i one-fourth gill whipping cream, three j eggs (yolks), two tablespoons peach marmalade, one-half lemon, grated rind and juice.

I may be cosy, but they are scarcely picturesque. Anil the modern girl knows | that it is far more Important to be always graceful, always picturesque, than | even to be beautiful. I’erhaps the cleverest Idea of the [ Jennno fille lias had this season is the i fascinating scurf which is a part of her j frock —a scarf that cannot be dropped [ or lost, that hangs, floating panel-wise. below the hem of her skirt If she chooses : to Ignore It, but Is thrown carelessly about her throat or wrapped gracefully about her arms to suit her whim. Manipulated by any ordinarily intelligent young person this latest scarf arrangement becomes a superfascinator which makes the memory of the IStjO type of fascinator sewn about as coquet- . tish as a nun’s habit.

offers, and calls come in to the Women’s Department from institutions, private homes and restaurants for women to .o everything from make salads to do “fc .1erul housework," which, Mrs. Carr declares, means anything and sometimes everything which comes up to be done in the home. It is this tendency on the part of the housewife to cail upon her help for any sort of work at any hour that makes girls unwilling to go Into domestic servi. e, Mrs. Carr believes, even though, when their room and board is taken into considerstlon, they are better paid than any other class of women workers except skilled typists and women in executive positions. “And there Is more of a demand for high class white domestics than we can supply,” Mrs. Carr assorted. "The only calls we aro unable to fill are those from housewives who are unwilling or unable to offer a girl enough pay to support herself properly. Such (daces as this the girls will simply not consider—except In such cases as that of the young mother who had to have a home where she could take the baby." During March the womens department placed 750 women, about two-thirds of them going into domestic service. Mondays and Tuesdays are usually tho busiest days at the offb e, but from the rate phone calls for help and personal applications for work to do were tfoming in one day late last week It seems as 1f the bureau's service Is in demand at al! times.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES.

GIVE PARTY FOR POOR CHILDREN Little Mothers Show Easter Spirit in Annual Affair. “Whatsoever ye do unto the least of these, ye do also unto me,” was the spirit, if not the motto, of the Little Mothers Club at the Easter celebration which was held Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Maryland S. Krause, 5250 Nor h Capitol avenue. The “little mothers,” who were the guests of the afternoon,, ranged in age from S to 14. who, while their mothers are away all day at work, take upon their untrained shoulders the burden of earing for the younger children, tending the babies, building the fires, preparing the meals for the mother’s home-coming —in fact, doing all in their power to take the absent mother's place. Saturday, however, was a glorious holiday for them, with all the Joys of Easter rolled into ono afternoon—new dresser., new shoes, Easter egs, cakes and doughnuts, and most wonderful of all—for the “little mothers” are essentially feminine —new Easter hats for each and every one of tho thirty-eight girls who were at the party. Nor will those who were unable to afford ear fare to make the trip ba forgotten, for nearly 200 hats have been saved for them, and many of those who were not on hand Saturday enjoyed a chicken dinner with Mrs. Krause Sunday. The organization behind this work is made tip of women who also call themselves “Tho Littlo Mothers," who have for fourteen years been bringing help and comfort and cheer to the poor children of Indianapolis. The organization visits tha children in their homes, teaches them how to keep house, buy the day’s supplies—and in many cases finds it necessary to provide the money for food —build the fires without the use of coalpil (thus preventing many serious accidents) and cook the meals for the family. On Saturdays the children are taken on outings, to gather wild flowers In season and to enjoy the beauty of the out-of-doors away from the grime of tho tenements. Some day the club hopes to own a real country home, with cherry trees and strawberry bods and a chicken yard and all that goes to make up i.l> al country llle, so that the "little mo' hers” may prepare themselves for pleasant, healthy life on a farm instead of places in a city factory.

Our First Year Chapter XVIII—The Wife and the Office — BY A BRIDE,

—START THIS TODATMarrlage should hnve no shackles, In the opinion of Jack and his bride. They're trying out the theory. Now she's about to help him in business by employing her social tnlenis. And now I have made Jack late to the olVico two mornings in succession; I’m terribly sorry because Jack hates it so. He's punctual by nature; never (<!?> oariy, never too l;#e at any engagement. Unfortunately, there's a staff meeting tho first thing each morning. And (he "boss” has a -horrible habit of pointing out tardy individuals for reprimand, and making them feel like small boys lute to school. This morning ho pointed a forefinger straight at Jack when he walked in eight minutes after 9 o'clock. And he fairly yelled out: “Late again, Madison I You were late yesterday! Why? Explain!'’ And after storming so that almost everybody turned around to seo how Jack took it, the “boss" went right on with business and never gave jack a chance to say a single word. And it was my fault that Jack had to endure this humiliation. But he didn’t tell me about it. Jessie Langdon did. She had lunched with her husband down town nnd then she phoned mo. “I thought you ought to know,” she saW, “so you can get the poor boy off earlier in the morning!” ‘So sweet of you to tell me, dear! .Tack never would 1” I answered. As I hung up the receiver I was reminded of what Jack often had said, that business and society mix about as well as oil and water. T think Jack is wrong. I think a wife can help a husband wonderfully by being friendly with the office. But Jack

CHAPTER IV—Continued. PART THREE (Continued Urom Our Ijivst Issue.) Extraordinary the intensity es his searching, suspicions stare! Hard, stupid old mun. Sabre thought. “Dash It, does he suppose I'vo got designs on the gfrl?” He wnni.j have returned tin Impatient answer had ho not been so anxious on tho Perches' behalf. Instead ho auld pleasantly, “Os course she's not, Mr. Bright. Mrs. Perch is n very old friend of mlno and a very simple and kind old lady. There'll be only herself f T Effie tt meet. And she . n tks a daughter of her.” Nothing of the penetration abated from the deep-set eyes, nor came any expression of thanks from the stern, pursed mouth. ‘‘l’ll take my girl over and see for myself, Mr. Sabre." Surely, stupid old man; However, poor young Perch! Poor old Mrs. Perch I The very thing, if only It would come off. It came off. Sabre went up to Puncher's farm on the evening of the day Mr. Bright, “to see for himself,'' had called with Effie. Young Perch greeted him delightedly In the doorway and clasped his hand In gratitude. “It's nil sight. It's fixed. Shea coming 1 cou! 1 see she took to the girl from the start. "By Jove, yon Van’t think how grateful I am to you, Sabre," CHAPTER V. i. This frightful war! On his brain Ilka n weight. On his heart like a pressing hand. Blowing abont the Btreets, in the newspapers and at meetings, in the mouths of many, nnd in the eyes of most, was the new popular question. "Why aren't you in khaki?" The subject of age, al ways shrouded in a seemly and decorous modesty, whs suddenly rinped out of Us prudish coverings. That was In the third month of the war. But by June, 1015, she position on these little points had hardened. In

insists that ha doesn't like cliques, nnd that Just as soon as the wives get friendly the cliques are sure to form nnd create Jealousies and rivalries. I’m hoping tt won't happen in our ease. For Jessie Langdon added an Invitation to her phone talk. Or rather, she said that she called me to Invite me to a morning bridge. It's a progressive party, from 10 to 12, with breakfast at noon. A brand new idea in this town. I think I'll give one. I want to go to Jessie’s to uifv t the wife of Jack's "boss.” I am convinced it will boa good thing for Jack if 1 am on friendly terms with Mrs. Boss. I’m happy because I have my lovely pearl bends to set off my block orepe when I go to the morning bridge. But ! came dose to losing them the other day on a street car. Across from me I noticed a strange looking man. dark, thin, a foreigner, was watching me. He was rude. I was annoyed. In the crowd on tho platform as we left tho ear this man stood closo to me. As I stepped out ho was higher than I ntid at the moment I thought I felt a touch of warm fingers on the back of my neelc. I shiver when I think of it! I put my hnnd suddenly to my eoljar and my precious beads, unclasped, slid In a heap Info my palm! I'd weep if I lost those silly beads bought with tho first money my husband gave me. I took them to tho nearest Jewot'-r. The clerk said the clasp was all right, lie suggested that somebody had tried to steal them, and wo laughed together. Who would risk committing a crime for a string of false pearls?— Copyright 1922. (To Bo Continued.)

June, “Why nren't yon in khaki?” was blowing about the streets.- Certain men avoided one another. And In June young Harold Joined up. Sabre greeted the news with very great warmth “By Jove, I'm glad. Well done, Harold. That's splendid. Jolly good luck to you." I.afcr In the morning Twyning came in. IDs air struck Sabre ss being and degressive. "Well, Harold's gone." he said. “Yes, I'm joiiy glad for the boy's sake I was Just congratulating him. I think It's splendid of him." Twyning breathed heavily through his nose “Splendid? Huh! Well, he's gone now and I hope you're satisfied." Pabre turned in his chair nnd questioned Twyning with puckered brows “Satisfied? What on earth do you mean —satisfied ?" “You always thought he ought to go. My boy saw it.” “You're talking nonsense. Pre nevet so much as mentioned the subject to Harold.” Twyning always refracted when Sabre showed signs of becoming roused. “Ah, well, what does it matter? He’s gone now. You wait till you’ve got a son, than you'll think differently, perhaps. You don't know what my boy means to me. He's everything in tho world to me I got hlin In hero so as to have him with me aud now this cursed war s taken him. You don't wnow what he is, mj boy Harold. He’s a better man than his father. I'll tell you that. He's a good Christian boy He's never hnd a bad thought or said a bad word." Not very long after this Incident occurred another incident. In Its obvious aspect It was also related to the “Why aren’t you in khaki?" question; Sabre apprehended In It a different bearing. One morning he stepped suddenly from his own room into Mr. Fortune's in quest of a reference. Twyning and Mr Fortune were seated together in deep conversation. They were very often thug seated. Sabre had noticed. At his entry their conversation abruptly ceased; and this also was not new. Sabre went across to the filing cabinet without apeaklng. Mr. B’orfune cleared Ms throat, "Ah, Sabre, "We wore Just saying what a very deeply unfortunate thing tt is that none of us principals are of an age to do the right thing by tha firm by Joining the Army.” "Yes, it’s a pity,” Sabre said. "I’m glad you agree. I knew you would. For myself, of course, I'm out of the question. Twyning here is getting on for forty and of course he’s given bis son to the war. You —of course, you’re married, too, and there we are! It does, as you say, seem a great pity.” Sabre spoke very slowly. Most furious anger was about to burst when there had suddenly come to Its control the thought, “These two aren't getting at you for any love of England, for any patriotic reason. There is another reason.” He said very slowly, “I never told yon, perhaps I ought to have told you at the time, that I was refused for the Army some while ago.” Twyning spun around from the bookense. Really? By Jove, and you look tit enough, too, old man. Fancy—Jolly sporting of you. Fancy—Oh, I say, old man. do let's have a look at your paper if you’ve got it on you.” Sabre was at his door. "What paper?" "Your rejection paper, old man. I’ve never se. none.” “I haven’t got one.” “Not got one! You must have, old man." “Well, X haven't. I was seen privately. I'm rather friendly with them up at the barracks.” “Oh, yes, of course. Wonder they didn't give you a paper, though.” Sabre paused on the threshhold. He perfectly well understood the villainous Implication. Vile, intolerable! But of what service to take it un? II In. August, the anniversary month of tlie war, he again offered himself for enlistment and was again rejected, but this time, after a longer scrutiny; the standard was not at its first height of perfection. He was enormously cast down by his rejection. When lie got back that night hp went straight in to her. “I say, they’ve rejected me. They won't have me.” His face avas working. “It's that cursed heart.” She slightly puckered her brows. “Oh —d’ you know, for the minute, I couldn't think -what on earth you were talking about. Were you rejected? Well, I must say I’m glad.” Ife said flatly, “Why are you?” “Well, do Just Imagine what you'd look like in private soldier’s clothing!” she laughed very hearily again. He turned away. CHAPTER VI. i Up in his room he began letter to Nona, pouring out to r all his feelings about this second reaction. ll*

was writing to her—and hearing from her—regularly and frequently now. It was his only vent in the oppression of these frightful days. She said that it was her's too. In her letters she always mentioned Tony. She wrote to Tony every day, she told him; and there were few of her letters but mentioned a parcel of some kind sent to her husband. Tony never wrote. She once or twice said, without any comment, "But lie is writing often to Mrs. Stanley and Lady Grace Heddon and Sophie Basildon, and I hear bits of him from them and know he is keeping well. Os course. I pretend to them that their news is stale to me. I feel most frightfully that the best thing every woman can do in this frightful time Is to do all she can for her man out there; and Tony's mine. When this is all over—oh, Marko, is it ever going to be over?—things will hurt again; but while he's out there the old things are dead and Tony's mine and England's—my man for England; that Is my thought; that Is my pride; that Is my prayer." And a few lines farther on. "And he’s so splendid. Os course, you can Imagine how utterly splendid he is. Lady KingWarner, his colonel's wife, told me yes terday her husband says he's brave beyond anything she could imagine. He said—she's given me his letter—'the men "T say, they've rejected me!” have picked up from home this story about angels at Mons and are beginning to believe they saw them. Tybar says he hopes the angels were near him, because he thought he was in hell, the particular bit he got into, and he thinks It must be good for angels, enlarging sot their minds, to know what hell is like! Asa matter of fact, Tybar himself Is nearer to the superhuman than antyhlng I saw knocking about at Mons. His daring and his coolness and his example are a byword In a battalion composed, my dear, with the aolltary exception of the writer, entirely of heroes, In sticky places Tybar is the moat' wonderful thing that ever happened.’ "Can’t you imagine him, Marko?” 11.

MRS . BOWEN TO REPRESENT U. S. AT CONFERENCE President Carries Out Promise Made to Mrs. Richard Edwards. By CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 17.—President Harding has announced the appointment of Airs. Joseph T. Bowen of Chicago as an official delegate to represent the United States at the Pan-Ameri-can conference of women to open in Baltimore on Thursday, April 20, uuder the auspices of the National League of Women Voters, in conjunction with their third annual convention. The fact that the President would make such an" appointment had been announced in these dispatches. It was Mrs. Richard Edwards of Indiana, first vice president of the League of Women Voters, who secured this promise in an interview with the President, Feb. 13. Mrs. Bowen is particularly well known to the older generation of women who worked for woman suffrage and other reforms, to which she has given both funds and personal effort. She is a prominent member of the Republican Women’# Roosevelt Club, founded a few months ago Tiy Mrs. Medill McCormick, but is perhaps best known as a warm friend and supporter of Miss Jane Addams, and her social weiware experiments. Every spring with the cherry blossoms along the National Capitol's famous speedway, come the Daughters of the American Revolution (descendants, of those who aided the colonies in the revolutionary cause) for their annual congress. The early arrivals were greeted with news that the United States Senate had paid their society a graceful as well as merited compliment in passing a resolution thanking the daughters for tho use of Alemorial Continental Hall for the plenary sessions of the arms conference. The-resolution was introduced by Senator Lodge. But the Senate did more than express the appreciation of the Government in words. A sum of $350 was appropri- I ated for the purpose of putting up a piacque in the D. A, R. building, which will commemorate the sessions ot the limitations of armaments conference held there. Only one woman has ever been made she choice of her party to be member of Congress and that woman is Mrs. Peter Ole'son, National Committeewoman from Minnesota and candidate on the Democratic ticket for the United States Senate. She goes Into the primary election with the support of the Alinuesota Democratic organization. Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, resident National Committeewoman in charge of Democrat!* women’s activities at the party's headquarters here, says that she was trying to persuade Mrs. Oleson to speak at the Democratic women's dinner to be given for Chairman Hull, Saturday night, April 29. That the Democratic women’s conference and dinner on April 29 will be a success is assured because of acceptances already received from each of the 43 national committeewomen of the Democratic party. In addition Mrs. John Troy and Mrs. Virginia Clopton, committee members representing Alaska and Hawaii respectively, are expected. Tho conference will comprise morning and afternoon sessions at which the plan of organizing and financing Democratic women’s political clubs will be outlined by Mrs. Blair, followed by the dinner for Chairman Hull. From all accounts, Pennsylvania women have added again to their reputation for doing things with an unusual combination of feminine tact, attraction and executive ability. Not only three noted I political women, but also a United States Senator, returned from the political dinner of the Republican Women's Club of Pennsylvania held in Philadelphia loud in their praises of the success of the gathering. Senator I’epper has told his colleagues it was well going over for, and Mrs. Upton voiced the sentiments of Mrs. Medill McCormick and Miss Robertson when she told the writer that Mrs. George Horace Lorlmer, president of the club, had “put across" one of the most successful wornpn's political gatherings she had ever attended.

Clubs and Meetings The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Moravian Episcopal Church will meet Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. George Rothrock, 37 East Thirty-Fourth street. * * * The Golden Rule lodge 23, Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Brotherhood of Trainmen, will give a card party Monday night In Saks Hall.

EVER may be the result of a number | U of things, but whatever these causes are, you ycjsStw'w should always conslder a fever as the g* jj signal that somerfW ■ thing is vitally i if wrong. V, • j This does not mean that one need become panic - stricken hi.i.ni.3 > if a case of fever has to be cared for. This would not be wise, and yet the seriousness of fever must not be overlooked. The skin of a person with fever will probably feel hot to the hands, the eyes will he very bright or perhaps very dull, and the patient may be delirious or excited or in a stupor. It is always a good plan to take the temperature In every case of illness. This is done with the clinical thermometer. To take the temperature shake down the mercury to 93 degrees Fahrenheit or below. Wash the thermometer in clean cold water, shaking off the clinging drop. Put it in the patient's mouth, under the tongue, with the lips closed tightly. Leave it for five minutes, after which It can be removed and read. Wash the termometer in clean, cold water before putting it back in its case. Remember that In fever the temperature is always higher at night, perhaps by 2 or 3 degrees, so that a high morning temperature is more serious than the same temperature at night. The normal temperature is 98.40 degrees Fahrenheit. From that point to | 100 degrees Fahrenheit to 102 degrees Fahrenheit is moderate fever, and from 102 degrees to 10*5 degrees high fever. Still higher temperatures are very uncommon. J Children are much more liable to fever from slight causes than are their elders. In any ease of fever the place for the sick person is in bed, if possible in a quiet, dark room. The patient should be lightly covered. He may be bathed in cool water. Ths food should be very simple; milk or a little milk toast will be all that Is required. Plenty of cool water is necessary. Call the doctor imutouiately.
