RICH COLORS IN INTERIOR
DECORATION.
rp HE popular colors being used in
1 women's clothes seem to be set
X ting the pace for the present
color schemes and combinations
tn Interior decorating. In some of the
mcrnt discriminating studios and shops
brown Is dominant In both draperies
«md rugs, and the use of gold colored
backgrounds in cretonnes is quite pro
nounced. Such color combinations ns
Sold and brown or light taupe and
•chre are typical of the day's tenden
cies.
Chinese ruga tn browns, yellows, and
blues are being gtven a great deal of
attention. There is a strong demand,
too, for velvet carpels in taupe colors.
In Jaspe effects, and for drum-printed
velvets.
For the wall decoration of dining
room, hail, and living room numerous*
beautiful tapestry reproductions ape
being shown. These range In color
from the softest pastels to lively reds,
yellows, and wistarias. Grass cloth
and other fabric effects are as popular
as ever. In two toned papers ecru,
brown, and corn color for library,
study, or smoking room are being
offered, with occasional experiments in
dove gray or shades of taupe.
Blue and orange splotches, to catch
the stray sunlight In a bedroom, are
a rather startling novelty. A room
which I saw recently has been carried
out with this idea in view. The furni
ture is walnut. A bine, black, and tan
t'hlnese rug, with accents of burnt
orange, covers the floor. Blue silk ve
lour, matching the blue tn the rug, is
used for the valances and side drapes.
These are edged with a burnt orange
chenille trimming. Quilted sateen, in
burnt orange, covers the twin beds.
Yellow and black. In a bedroom
scheme, are suggestive of the orient.
The furniture Is lacquered black. Black,
gray and white chintz, Chinese pat
terned. is used for the drapes, and a
small figured rug, in two tones of gray
and black, covers the floor. Canary
yellow taffeta Is used for a bedspread
and for chair and dressing table bench
cushions. Yellow tarlajan, gathered
fun and weighted at the lower edge, so
■ that it falls in good lines. Is used for
I the glass curtains. As the light Is
diffused through these bright, transpar
ent curtains it produces a cheerful ef
fect of sunlight. Walls are papered
In light barley gray. This makes an
excellent background for a set of six
colorful Japanese prints, set in narrow
ebony frames. _
Satin striped wall papers, to corre
spond with satin dama3ks and drape
ries, are being much sought. These
vertically striped papers are especially
good for use in low ceilinged rooms, as
they produce the needed heightening
effect. In a rather small I-'rench bed
room the walls are done in a satin
striped paper, showing one inch stripes
of jade pink and pearly gray. French
gray enamel is used on the woodwork.
The Ixiuis Quinze chairs are uphol
stered in satin damask. .lade pink vel
vet hangings, edged with silver silk
fringe, are used at the windows, over
silver silk gauze pane curtains. Th»
rug is deep taupe, and the bed cover is
in wide bands of alternating plain and
shirred jade green taffeta. The tamp
shades and shields combine jade pink
and silver silk.
Caff- au lait sateen Is used for the
upholstery of a Sheraton living room
suite. The drapes used in conjunction
are of muffin tan silk velotjr, and the
valances are of figured silk in rose,
gold, and heliotrope, with green leaves,
on a ground matching the side'-drape.
A deep brown rug covers the floor, anil
the shirred silk lamp abides arc of
cloth of gold, interlined, for a pleasing
lighting effect, with rose colored silk
Orchid seems to be becoming mofe
and more popular. This is especially
manifested in silk gauze curtainlngs
and damask upholsteries. A stunning
winter breakfast room, which has just
been completed. Is curtained with
orchid silk gauze. The fumitime is
enameled in a sort of misty Nile frreen.
Light gray paint is used for the wood
work, and the electric candle lighting
fixtures are dull silver. Orchid geor
gette. shirred over Pu Barry rose, is
used for light shields. For wall deem
rations plaques are used, showing gay
bunches of flowers, done in parchment
pa tier.
In textiles, the colors for which the
greatest preferences are shown are
browns, deep, almost midnight blues,
and sand colors. These colors, with
various lively variations, are almost
sure to be pleasing. There ip some
thing warm, and yet restful, in'the
proper combination of sand colors with
blues, yellows, and burnt orange.
Curtains, hung straight across the
entire window opening, with ample
French headings, and then looped back
gracefully, with cords and tassels, pro
duce a note of richness in a formal
living room. A charmingly soft qual
ity of deep blue velvet is effective.
Half widths are used for each curtain,
and allowed to hang straight from top
to floor in even, shadowed folds. The
edges are outlined with two inch deep,
silk bullion fringe, of tine weaves, com
bining the blue of the material with
alternating strands of taupe color. This
arrangement of two contrasting colors
in trimmings is singularly striking.
Heavy, open tne.shed filet is used for
glass curtains.
A large number of enameled bedroom
suites in interesting tones of ivory,
tan, and various shades of gray, is

adapted to the average home, because
It is light and simple, and informal in
character. There is nothing particu

although not to the exclusion of

[THE COOK BOOK By Jane Eddington
SUCAR BATTERS AND DOUGH.
WHY cannot any cake cook
make cookies, perhaps New
Year's cookies or cookies in
the shape of bird and beast
and man, for the children? These
latter are coming into gTcat popu
larity, yet only a homo cook here and
there can make and roll out a dough
that will give a tender nnd palatable
cooky.
A cake batter seems easy enough
To make a cake dough is not so easy
The light hand of experience is re
quired. and how shall that experience
be acquired without waste of sugar
and spice and all things nice that go
into cookies?
The problem is In getting the flour
Into tho wetness without “ wadding "
the batter, if that term may be used
in cookery. All the recipes for cookies
aro at bottom just like those for one
egg or two or perhaps three egg cakes.
The twi* egg, or most universal of
cake formulas, generally called cup
cake, is given in tho old books for
the rather rich cooky, nnd the one
egg for plain, although it contains
just as much of the really richer in
gredients—sugar and butter.
Old and Modern Recipes.
Take tho two as given in the old
I books. Plain cookies—One-half cup
] butter, ono cup sugar, one fourth cup
I milk, one egg, three level teaspoons
baking powder; Hour to roll out thin.
Richer cookies--One-half cup of out
] ter. one cup of sugar, one tablespoon
milk, two eggs, two level teaspoons
) baking powder; flour to roll out.
Compare these with a modern text
' hook cooky recipes, which, you should
| notice, puts tho flour first and pre
i scribes an exact quantity. It reads;
j “ Two cups of floifr, two teaspoons bak
j ing powder, one-half teaspoon salt, one
egg. ono cup sugar, one half cup fat,
milk or water—about three eighth? i UP
■ one teaspoon flavoring or spice.
Tho directions for this aie: "Make
ai plain oaks Ido not separate tho
eggs], adding just sufficient mill; to
make the dough stiff enough to ho
rolled out. I’ut tho dough In a cool
place to chill. Roll out in small por
tions, then sprinkle with sugar. Cut
and bake about ten minutes, or Until
brown.”
The directions for making plain
rake are to put dry ingredients mixed
together into wet ingredients. That Is
a common and almost universal direc
tion, but it is not tho direction for mak
ing pie crust, and cookies partly par
take of the nature of pie crust. They
are, like the crust, to be rolled out
thin. One old direction says to roll out
a? thin as a knife blade.
French Methods.
The getting the wet into the dry in
making bread, rake and pastry is the
French method in making almost every
type of dough. The French cooks are
not even dependent upon a mixing
howl. The dry ingredients are blended
on a board, a Grater or basin like In
dentation made in the cone formed, the
wet poured into that, and the work
thereafter done so expertiy that the
weight of the wet does not break down
the sides. It Is easier to seant the wet
when mixing a dough in this fashion
than by the other method and it is
also easier to use a little more than
with the other method. There is no
turning dough out on a floured board
which requires that it be rather stiff,
and the continuous manipulation from
soft to harder has its advantages in
keeping the dough less hard, so that
the cooky will be more tender.
That is what i? wanted, a “ tender ”
rooky. No matter how much fat the
inexperienced uses she can get a tough
cooky, but note what the text book
says on fat and b xturc: " lirop cookies
may or may not contain fat. Cut or
rolled cookies usually rontain fat.

My Nicest Compliment

The nicest compliment I ever re

the latter kind of cookies, fat is needed
to make the mixture sufficiently tender.
A dough containing littlo or no ft»t
usually produces a tough cut cooky.
A skilled cooky maker, however, can
secure a soft cut cooky containing lit
tle fat by making a very soft dough,"
It requires skill to handle a soft
dough, and the Inexperienced will oven
get a tough drop cooky. How? No
body can explain save by the one word
—inexperienced.
We would expect help on such a mat
ter from the school text books, but get
little. One gtves nothing but a. for
inula for sugar cookies, without a
printed word of direction, and that Is
less than the cook books give on a
subject which seems to present so
many difficulties to the learner. 1 have
been through many books to see if
some cook or other had not found some
way of telling just how that was truly

t'ookies in Myriad Shapes.
All the denizens of the menagerie
nndrfome animals that never have ex
isted on sea or land have of late been
represented in cookies. K-young col
lege woman was pictured not long ago
"baking barnyard cookies in sixteenth
century tins," but some of the fowls
so represented did not belong to mod
ern barnyards. A part of the legend
under the picture said that just a short
time back the ability to make fudge
was something to boast about. Cer
tainly the girl who can make tender
cookies can well be prouder than the
mere fudge maker.
Quito interesting effects in faces can
be secured when one has no cutters
save the round ones, but those star
shaped, clover shaped, and so forth are
easy to find, and the variety of cutters
will surely be increased or ancient pat
terns restored to service if the present
fashion spreads widely.
One of the farm weeklies gome
months back had this to say about
cooky dough: “The dough should be
like a soft biscuit dough; then it will
| be possible to roll it thin and to cut it
easily. The board should be kept
I smoothly floured, but not too thickly
covered. The roiling pin and cutter
must be kept absolutely free of dough.
Hast of all, but very Important, keep
everything cool the dough, the rolling
pin, the cutter, and yourself—and try
to handle the dough as little as pos
sible. Much handling and much fuss
ing mean warm dough, and that means
more flour, and more flour will mean
stiff and tough cookies.”
How Shades Are Acquired.
Three methods of getting cooky
shapes are given, and this is recom
mended for richer cookies and sand
tarts: ” Form the dough into a neat
| oblong roll, and then, after chilling it
| for several hours, slice it down into
thin rounds; place these In the greased
and floured baking pan and bake.”
This, of course, Is the method used for
cinnamon rolls and various filled breads
, and cakes which are rolled up with
filling like a Jelly roll before being cut.

out In fancy shape* surely and cer
tainly without reworking of dough.
But for squares and bars we can get
on without rolling the dough. We may
even have aa a base of our prepara
tion what is about as aoft a batter aa
any made. Or.6 of the date and walnut
bars has such a batter, and as the bar
is chewy it may be liked better than
the stiffer sort, so stiff that it does not
need to be covered with powdered sugar
to be attractive.
And yet another and popular way to
get bars of cake is to cut either sponge
cake or angel eake into slices and thsde
into strips and toast them. This lias
been quite a popular afternoon tea
aweet.
Compart Date and Walnut Bars.
The following recipe has been quit*
widely used, and two inch squar«t< of
something probably made by the same
formula are being sold at one exchange
foi®Tome hoods at 10 cents a square:
One cup sugar, three eggs, one cup
flour, on# teaspoon baking powder, a
little salt, one pound of dales. one cup
of walnut meats. Notice that there is
no milk or any Vet but the egg. Sift
flour, baking powder, and salt over the
dates and nuts prepared and cut lu
rather large pieces and stir all togeth
er well. Beat yolks of eggs with sugar
until the whole ribbons and mix into
first mixture, then fold in the stiffly
beaten whites. Bake in a shallow pan
for thirty minutes in moderate (350*)
oven. This dough Is stiff enough so
that It could be baked on a sheet or on
the bottom of a dripping pan, so that
It may be easily removed, and cut in
strips or squares. If kept in a closed
tin this keeps well, like any fruit cake,
and since it has a meringue like sur
face the sprinkling with’ powdered su
gar is not necessary, and it does ntaks
it seem a bit mussy. It seems to me
a little like rough treatment, but some
people put the squares or strips In a
paper bag, shake powdered sugar ovei
them, and then shake the whole.
Soft Hate and Walnut Bars.
One cup sugar, one egg, one cup
flpur, two teaspoons baking powder,
one fourth teaspoon salt, one half cup
milk, twenty five or thiity date*
washed, drained, seeded and sliced
cross so as to make rather large hits,
one cup of walnuts cut across in the
same way rather than chopped. Beat
egg, add part of sugar and beat, add
milk and beat well and pour Into howl
In which dates, nuts and flour sifted
with salt and baking powder have been
well mixed. Mix thoroughly after this.
It makes a thin batter and the pan
should be papered if It is to come out
well. Bake in moderate or 350 degree
oven for one-half hour. This is chewy
rather than stiff like the other, and
has more the perfected quality of the
simplest cakes. Cut to suit.
Simple Batter Cake.
leave out the nuts and dates from
the recipe for the soft date and walnut
bars, and bake in the same fashion. A
little flour may be added, but it can ha
highly satisfactory without it. It needs
a papered pan, as it will bs sticky with
such a proportion of flour to sugar.
Flavor with vanilla or use spices.

DESIGNS ON NET.
YEARS ago a great deal of time
was spent by women who like to
do practical and fancy needle
work in darning wonderful look
ing designs on net. And for months
past there has seemed to be a revival
of the interest In this work.
It is noticeably good looking on cur
tains, a not too lino mesh being ohosch.
and generally a six stranded thread
i being used with a blunt needle. Wheth
I er or not one uses the entire six
strauds at a time dopends of coursa
on the mesh of the net. As many
strands should be used at a time os
will pull easily through the meshes, fill
ing the spaces well.
Where- one has time, this darning
can be used to good advantage on black
or white net for a party or dinner
dress, and the darning tnsy be done in
one or several colors.
The design shown hero seems espe
cially appropriate for window curtains,
running It down each front edge and
across the bottom: and It would ma*
make an effective border for a tunic of
a dress.
