LONG OR SHORT COAT BOTH HAVE SANCTION OF FASH ION THIS SEASON. In Chriton or Lace They Are Particu larly Becoming-Rich Brocades, Elaborately Embroidered, Are Also High In Favor. There 1B no end to the short coats -and wraps and each ls more chic than i the last, though you need time to ac . cMtom yourself to their abbreviation. Whether they are so generally becom ing as the longer coats and cloaks is a Question of ts.?te. Certainly they con sort better with the short skirt of the trotting frock. Long coats and cloaks for carriage and evening wear are lovelier than ever before, and the triumph of the Embroidered Black Crepe. ?season ls the filmy coat of chiffon or lace usually without lining other than ^another tone of chiffon. ! One of the loveliest cloaks is of em broidered chiffon. The long lines of ?drapery are exceedingly artistic and fine fullness at the top of the coat lat the back ls held in place by a aquare shaped tab of exquisite em broidery. ! Another cloak is of brocaded crepe &e chine. At the neck there is a high gm-ndown frill of mousseline de soie. IXbe cloak is shirred on a cord at the shoulders and the sleeves and bottom bf the coat are also shirred on a cord pf the material : Equally good in its way is the s hap fed coat of gray charmeuse trimmed with small rose colored silk buttons smd cord loops. It is finished with a Harrow turndown collar of the rose colored silk finished with a narrow frill of rose colored chiffon, j One exceedingly attractive model peen, recently was of lace, chiffon and flrilk. At the front the upper part was {draped in rever shape with a chiffon SHsarf, which waa knotted in a large jtoaot and ends which fell to the bot tom of the cloak. The fronts were of {Lace over which soft silk was draped, tailing in folds fron the shoulders to |the bottom of the .varment. In soft satin and crepe, there are to he had numberless beautiful cloaks. Borne of the rich supple brocades are iosed for superb cloaks and there are ?plain satins and crepes marvelously embroidered .Other models depend up on, lines rather than ornamentation, And these, when successful, are verit able works of art. One peculiarly lovely model was In .topple satin finished silken stuff which ?was probably a crepe of some kind. 8t was in a soft cyclamen tone and {was lined with a deep toned smoky jgray chiffon over whoBe surface was acattered a design of primroses in sev eral cyclamen tints. The fronts fell toack in soft draped revers to show the chiffon facing. All sorts of odd little shaped shoul jder wraps in chiffon, lace and satin are being exploited by French design iere, but many of them are en suite jwlth frocks. ; One smart New York shop exhibit led a model of black Chantilly lace to me worn with a costly lingerie frock. ?The front of the coat was ornamented fwith a large cluster of pink roses. MARY DEAN. Cerise is one of the most favored colors for evening gowns and is worn with slippers of a similar shade.

In all of our cooking IOOIS today the young people are taught to use utensils always instead of fingers in the cooking. We all like to feel that our food has been prepared in the most scrupulous manner. The spatula or flexible knife has taken away the time-honored custom of scraping out bowls and dishes with the index fin ger. The fear of spreading diBease, and a knowledge of germs has made us all more careful of putting our hands into our cooking. The finger nails, with the best of common care, cannot be immaculate, and the pores of the skin are large enough to harbor whole congregations of bacteria. This agitation for care of food is not fin ickiness, but is recognized by all thinking people as a necessity for decent living. When cooking the fresh, new green peas, they are greatly Improved by the addition of a teaspoonful of sugar to the water when boiling them. Sweet corn, sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips, and beets, when not very sweet, tse improved by the addition of a tea spoonful of sugar to the water when cooking. One housekeeper finds that less butter is ueed on griddle cakes if a tablespoonful of butter is added to the sirup and both heated hot, to serve on the cakes. Clear tomato soup may be bought in cans, and one may have a few of these on the emergency shelf to make tomato sauce of, adding the seasonings desired, with the thickening of butter and flour, if needed. This is a great saving of time, and a half a can will be a generous supply for a sauce. Baked Kippered Herring.-Wipe two kippered herrings, lay on a board and rub ell with pepper, salt and cloves. Put them into a buttered baking dish, cover with vinegar, add a bay lea;", cover with buttered paper and bake in a moderate oven twenty minutes. Springtime brings the appetizing horseradish, which is such an addition to any dinner. Served with stes?k or fish it makes a sauce most accepta ble. A GOOD LETTER Tbe following letter from Hon. Fitz Hugh McMaster, Insurance Commissioner, is greatly apprecia ted by the officers, stockholders and policy holders of the first legal re serve Life Insurance Company ever organized in South Carolina. Columbia, S. C., May 14, 1913. Mr. T. 0. Lawton, Manager, Southeastern Life Insurance Co., Greenville, S. C. Dear Sir: I had occasion recently to review in part the progress of insurance since I nave been Insurance Com missioner. ' I was struck with the fact that, when I became Insuranoe Commis sioner, the Southeastern Life had total assets of about $34,000. It has now assets of abort $380,000, practically increasing 200 per cent in four years. When T . ealize that all ol these assets invested in South Caro lina .ities and that every dollar yr end for officers' salaries and ?uses is spent in South Carolina, : can but realize the excellent work you are doing in South Carolina in keeping this money in the State which would otherwise uo beyond its borders, part of it never to re turn. The people of South Caro lina should appreciate this fact. Very truly, (Signed) F. H. McMaster, Insurance Commissioner.
