were embroidered In white wash silk, the
cuffs had similar finish with white linen
folds added, vest and collar were bright

mer suit need not be quite as elaborate as
these. they should at the very least be
up to recent styles in cut and finish. The
same Is true of silk poplins, which prom

made up In fanciful fashion, but are at
their best along simple lines that reflect

was pale lavender. Stitching and EN-

front was sketched with it, and front of
that character is a wise addition TO such

boiled, baked, made into soup, and are
even made into beau cheese. In
preparing this cheese the beans are
soaked In water for thirty-six hours
They are then reduced to n paste and
the mass cooked. This is strained
through coarse cloth, thereby making
white fluid much resembling milk

A crude salt is added which coagulates
