Affrocfi,Oe Salads and
Entrees For February

!" HESE are the days which try
the soul, patience and pocket
book of the conscientious
- housewife. The winter vege-
tables have become monoto-
nous, and the early spring varieties are
prohibitive except to a, favored few
who are able to command the markets
of the world. If one will take the trou
Bile to look into the matter there are
ways and means of changing the taste
and appearance of even a long served
dish into an attractive dainty fit to set
before an American king.
Perhaps in no direction is the differ
ence between the skilled and careful
cook and the one who has neither of
these qualities more clearly shown than
in the ability to produce the best re-
suits with the materials at hand. Moth
ing reduces the weekly bills more COM
fortably and without the effort becom-
ing patent to the rest of the household
than the faculty for making every lit
tie tell.
This is branch of the culinary art in
which the educated woman who makes
domestic science a study and not a task
excels her less cultivated sister. She
brings a wider learning to the service
and therefore is capable of attaining
far better results.
As a matter of fact, the average
housekeeper often begins her planning
of the daily menu in the wrong place
Instead of making her starting point
from the materials on hand and those
most easily procurable she draws up
the list without consideration for
these important factors and purchases
fresh supplies which produce no better
results than if she had used the little
odds and ends available. 1t is the Gus

short bolero on this costume is of moss
green velvet if the skirt material is of
a peachy tint. The revcrs and high,
faring collar are embroidered in gold
galloon. A quaint high bonnet of
shirred silk having a saucy bunch of
flowers perched on the crown in front
should accompany the empire frock.
A directoire toilet will transform a
stately beauty into a regular grande
dame. This gown is very like the en-
pire in it's makeup, excepting the bon
net, which is a large three cornered
hat, with a cockade well up at the
side. When the directoire costume is
affected La Tosca stick is a dainty
trif1e to carry.
The Breton peasant in her pictur-
esque dress offers a good suggestion
for fancy ball gown. Her skirt is of
wide striped blue and white cotton,
over which is worn a long, sheer white
apron reaching almost to the hem of
the frock. A low, white muslin chemi-

sleeves. A large poke bonnet of rib
bon is held coquettishly under the chin
with a careless, loose bow.
Weird and spooky is the "bat" cos
tune. Gun metal gray tulle plated and
held close to the figure above the knees,
then allowed to flare at the feet, is
covered with bats cut out of black vel
vet and glued here and there over the
dress. Huge specimens of this grew
some bat family form the corsage and
head trimming A cloak somewhat on
the Red Riding Hood order with the
front eliminated and the back cut into
sections like bat wings is lined with
silver tissue and fastened securely over
the head at the throat. To make the
picture realistic the arms must be held
extended their full length to give the
winglike appearance.

AYirtue of NECESSITY.

A charming idea is to line a fur era
vat with quillings of chiffon, amid
which is placed a tiny pocket just
large enough to hold a small handker-
chief. This fashion is really a useful
expedient, as the present day costume
has no pocket. The high, shapely belt
or vest peeping out from beneath the
straight Jacket fronts or bolero iapelS
need not be made unshapely by tuck
ing a handkerchief inside the corsage.
Beneath the cravat it is unseen and at
the same time is exceptionally handy.
An erInine cravat with quillings of
cream or white mousseline would be a
very attractive hiding place for the
pocket.

In the social world the ''bal costume"
has been interesting the smart set to
the exclusion of all else in the way of
amusements; consequently the fash
ionabIe mondaine is making a study of
the mcst effective and picturesque
points in the costumes CT all nations.
Everything American has a great
vogue here; the Yankee highball is ac-
cIimated and the national game of
poker is quite at home in its Partisan
surroundings. In the fancy costume
line the Indian squaw, the cowboy and
the Puritan maiden figure prominently.

wonderful specimen of sartorial ar

windmill of white muslin placed on each

The Norwegian peasant in bright ma
tional costume is model not to be

suspended from it, attached by brass

The Spanish dancer, with her casta-
nets. is always a graceful figure IN the
ballroom. Flame colored, spangled
tulle is a charming fabric for this cos
tune. The bodice is of satin in
lighter shade of yellow, with bolero ana
long, tight fitting sleeves of black vel
vet. Outlining the jacket and running
down the front of the skirt is a snaWi
shaped ornamentation of knotted che
mile in different colors shading from
flame to bright pink. The hair IS ar
ranged high and caught with tall
comb of Spanish workmanship with
perhaps the additional adornment OF a
red rose or two.
The costumes described are only
few of the many phases of the fancy
ball gown. There are historical, mytho-
logical and grotesque creations galore,
but these frocks have the advantage OF
being easy to duplicate and not extrav-
agant as to price.
