I The rumor that the Turkish Government is putting forward tentative proposals for peace may well be jusuned say tlte Daily Graphic. Since lutver Pasha succeeded in draping lus conntry into war against the Entente Powers, the people of Turkey have suffered an endless succession of misfortunes. These losses of territory have been accompanied bv pitiful losses of men and by the practical exhaustion of the finances ol the Turkish Empire. It may be that with the gambler's spirit, and for his own ends, Euver Pasha may still wish t:> go on with the war. Put whatever happens Turkey cannot win. An AttstroGermau victory would inevitably mean tho complete destruction of Turkish independence. No terms of peace that the Entente Powers are likely to propose will involve such a complete humiliation for Turkey as a Get-man victory must, involve. Women in Bakeries. About ten women are employed in one large baking establishment in Edinburgh, where they are taking the place of men who have gone to the front. As the, manager explained they are doing splendid work, especially in the confectionary department, which has suffered more particularly from the calls of the country. Two girls are employed in the bakehouse and are engaged in duties formerly carried out by apprentices. In the'latter establisment machinery has been introduced to a great extent. There is a machine for weighing dongh, to which a girl might easily attend, while she can also bake, clean pans, carry little odds an dends to the taker, and other duties of a similar nature. The case may be different in the smaller bakeries, -whose working staff is usualy made up of the proprieter himself, another man, and perhaps a boy. Sandwiches for Tea. Peel and slice thinly one or two ripe tomatoes, arrange them on bread and butter, and sprinkle •with a few grains of salt, pepper, and castor sugar. Teel one or two bananas, mash- them smoot&ly with a silver fork, spread them on bread and butter; and sprinkle with a few drops of lenlon juice. Eub the hard-boiled yolk of an egg to a powder, work into it enough butter or whipped cream to make a soft paste, season carefully with salt and pepper, and use it in place of plain butter. On this mixture lay cress or any other salad, chopped very small, and sprinkled with lemon juice. Spread on bread and butter a layer of home-made potted meat, then dip very thin slices of encumber into just a little vinegar or Florence cream, and lay these, on top of the meat. Grate stale cheese finely, mix it with a little itiffly-wlujpped cream, ad 4J ß * b *~ ..' - »■■■.<-. j ■ »• ' i . • Mki ■&-Vi "*ili

len a|e sometimes surprisingly conser ve and old-fashioned in various smaU. tils, the practice survives to a certain tnt, particularly as far as caps are con,ed, and in England traces of this a ner fashion are still to'be found in £ ashionable circles. Though it seems ji urd that a baby boy should ever have a ded to be clothed differently to a baby (_ , it is understandable why girla, from N tolling age upwards, w T ere once con- . cued to petticoats and frills, while ( ir brothers revelled in tlie freedom of t ckcrlioekeis and loose shirts and coals. , emiotis physical activity on the part, of <. !,i was discouraged, or, at best, nut en- ( ; ia,cd by parents and teachers.
