TALKED
ABOUT
Economic Recovery of Europe
KY3 k VV UHtVJ
"And not only that, they also represent the Inllatlon of their respective
currencies. There has been too much 'printing press' money, with no gold be
hind It.
"Many prominent Europeans nssert that the allies have passed the peak
or their post-war economic and financial crisis, hut that's a rather optimistic,
view.
"it strikes mo as quite possible that there are plenty of troubles ahead for
those European nations which are spending more thnn their Income. They
must get bnck to the realities of life. Nations, as well as individuals, must
pay as they go or take the consequences. There Is no panacea or cure-all.
There must lie a return to frugality, hard work and economy"
Europe Is a Country of Strikes
Miss Anna A. Gordon, national
president of the W. C. T. U., has ar
rived In Evanston from Europe. To
gether with Miss Julia F. Dean, edi
tor of the Onion Signal, Miss Gordon
returned from a white-ribbon tour of
the British Isles and the continent two
months sooner than expected, because.
In the parlance of the cafe tables
which her organization has1 made less
uproarious, she wished to come from
Europe while the coining was sill'
good.
Shippers and travelers In the Brit
Ish ports are bothered by strikes sim
ilar to the one which tied up British
shipping In the port of New York.
Traveling on the continent progresses
at the will of strikers on the railroads.
An excursion Into Scandinavia by the
dry women lenders was halted by
troublous labor conditions In Holland.
That Is the bad side of Europe
The good side. In the mind of the W
C. T. U. president. Is that Europe is beginning to show a preference for water.
It is from the solemn and substantial Scotch that the returned temper
ance workers expect the tlrst Imitation of America's dryness. The little towns
of Scotland, which are to Edinburgh as Waukoguii Is to Chicago, will vote this
fall on local option.
Tino Wants to
"1 hope soon to be allowed to return to Athens. The entente undertook
not to oppose my return. If after the warhe people of Greece expressed a
desire to see me again on the throne of my fathers. I would then resume
without passion, rancor or hate the noble duties of my crown.
"If Greece still accorded Venlzelos her favor, I should not hesitate to ac
cept him as premier."
"What would be your attitude townrd neighboring countries?"
"It would not, perhaps, be different from that of M. Venlzelos."

Be King Again
1 Former King Constantino of
i Greece still hopes to regain his
throne, claiming he never abdicated
and that be is still considered the
Greek sovereign by a majority of Un
people of that country. Constantlnc
denies having in any way been in
volved in the attempted assassination
of the Greek premier Venizelns.
"I await here," the former king
said In Switzerland, "with resignation
for the day when, by the will of my
people and the force of traditions. 1
will resume the throne I undeserved
ly lost. 1 never abdlca'ed and the
greater part of the people still eon

DESIGNEUS of separate skirts hav
ing exercised their Ingenuity on
plaid and barred materials In conjunc
tion with every sort of plait, are vary
ing this occupation iy showing what
can be done with stripes and plnlts.
There are so many varieties of stripes
In wool ami In silk material that ox
liorliuentlng for new effects ought to
prove more of a pastime than work.
There are bold stripes and almost in
visible ones, subdued colors and vivid
ones, aixl stripes may run up anil
down, or around the figure, and this Is
what they do with many Interruptions
made by the ever-present plaits.
The handsomest of the new skirts
show dark, quiet colors dominating
especially in the plaited models, and
coats of plain colors to match the
dominant color are aftcn shown with
them. Stripes are usually wide and
seldom plain or unbroken. A wide
stripe may be niiulo up of a group of
narrower ones, or of bar, or a check
Hats That Paris Presents
IN ANY collection of new hnis, those
that came to light In Paris and
have Journcjed to this or any other
corner or the world, are sure of the
lion's share of attention. We expect
to Hud them unusual, and are seldom
disappointed, but we no longer find
them more beautiful or less so than
hals originated in our own fashion cen
ters. The Paris hat starts out more
interesting than others because wc
expect so much of It; If we do not
sirasp Its excellencies at first we go on
looking for them, and sometimes for
us they do not exist. That Is why
French Ideas are always being "adapt
ed" to suit the taste of other than
French people. In painstaking work
and in ingenuity they set a pace that
has Improved our standards.
Four contributions In millinery
from Paris, shown In the group above,
merit the attention they have received.
At the top there Is a gracious hat of
ot innne velvet with a very wide and
becoming brim that might seem too
expansive If It wore not broken at In
tervals all around by slashes. Plaited
ribbon Is set In the slashes. As hats
go this season this one Is very simple
but It contrives to have unusual
style and one never grows tired of It.
Below this hat at the left Is a small,
drooplng-brlmmed hut with u lou
erboard pattern. One of the most at
tractive designs shows a'broad strlpo
of navy blue alternating with a I Io
nian stripe In rich 'colors. A skirt
made of this pattern Is box-plalted so
that the Itoman strlpo Is turned under
the plnln one, the bright color re
vealed when the plaits are spread by
walking.
Occasionally stripes are so managed
that they run both horizontally and
vertically In the same skirt. An ex
ample appears' hero with a yoke hav
ing horizontal stripes and those ot the
lower part running up and down.
After the material is set together In
this way, the skirt Is side plaited. It
Is a tine model particularly for a tall
and slender figure.
For wear with separate skirts of
wool the blouse Is usually of voile or
taffeta, the former In white and the
latter In a color corresponding with
the most prominent color In the skirt.
scarf for trimming which is knotted
Into short loops nt the right side and
falls from there In an end long enough
to be thrown about the throat. This
Is a demure model that may be Inter
preted In ways that will make It pop
ular with Americans.
At the right of the group a small
round hat of velvet and angora will
commend Itself instantly. The two
fabrics tire Ingeniously combined, (he
velvet forming a wide puff about the
head and part of the crown. There
Is a splash of embroidery on the crown
and small pompous that-look somehow
contented and well placed against It,
The most unusual hat of the group
appears In the black velvet crescent
shaped creation nt the bottom of the
picture. It is nn example of odd and
very clever draping, suggesting an ar
tist's1 tarn In a dignified hat that
frames the face In beautiful lines.
American designers have become so
proficient that we might be tnstefullv
dressed without the aid' of Paris con
tributions but we would be so much
the poorer, nnd we must still look to
France to give coherence to the styles.

INTERESTING SPICES AND CON
DIMENTS. Spices may be grouped Into four
classes: Those which are the bark
of the parent plant:
those which1 are in
fruit or flowers, those
which are Its root slocks
and those which are Its
seeds. Cinnamon a u d
cassia aro closely re
lated, The bark of tlm
cinnamon tree Is usually
stripped from the shoot
when about two years old. which urw
fermented to make the stripping
easier. Cassia buds are the undevel
oped flowers of the cassia tree. Tin
crop of both cinnamon and cassia nm
harvested from May to November. Be
cause of tho warm cordial effect of
cinnamon, tea made from It Is used
for colic and nausea,
Chicken fat Is a most tnsty fat; ev

The vanilla bean Is contained In tho
pod or fruit of one of the orchids, a
vine wltli spikes of largo frggrtiuc
flowers. This plant is nntlve to Mex
ico. South America and Asia. Tbo'
flavor la so generally liked thnt thu
detnnnd far exceeds the supply unit
other flavors similar to vanilla ttrn
used, as It is becoming 'more, and moro
scarce.
In China the Canton ginger Is fn
mous for confections nnd tlnvorlng,
and Is a great favorite In this country.
It comes In small Jars or packed la
boxes ns crystallized fruit.
The active principle of horseradish,
Its volatile oil, Is Identical with its
near relative, mustard. Horseradish
while popularly considered merely a
condiment. Is used medicinally. It la
so beneficial and stimulating to tho
digestive organs that It Is often pre
scribed as a tonic to create appetite
when u general run-down condition
prevails. It Is considered an excellent
blood purifier und good for the kid
neys. Mixed with honey It Is a most
cfllcaelous cough remedy.
Ginger and horseradish are tho
chief representatives of the root stock
type. These roots are known and
grown In both hemispheres. The Amer-
Ican colonies Inherited the old Dutch
and English uses of both for sousor.lug
meats, pickles and the ginger root la
preserves, sweetmeats, cukes and for
medicinal uses.
