FASHION HINTS
Much Is to Be Said in the Matter Of
Innings.

Make a note that the question Of coll
OF. which Is OF such serious Importance
this season, has to be gone into even
SO far as regards Innings, ant many
novel effects are obtained II conse-
uuenee, even when the old-tiuIe mate
rials are used. The very thin trans
parent yeilings. dark blue, dark brown.
or red. are made up over Innings OF the
same color and are certainly smart
and attractive. but II white or some
contrasting color Is used instead all
entirely different appearance Is the re-
suit, Dark blue over pale blue, red
over pink, green over the paIest lilac,
or brown over green. all are effective,
and considered smart. while most pop
ular of all is the blue over pale violet.
AS can readily be understood, only
the most transparent of materials look
well over the contrasting Innings. When
the fabric IS in any way closely woven
the contrast IN collar Is not sharp
enough and an ugly, thick effect IS given
that is always unbecoming.
With the fashionable sIirts It is
necessary to pay great attention TO the
lining or drop skirt. otherwise fhe gown
lacks the smart appearance now de-
nanded. The soft surails aud satins
are preferred for Innings by some dress
makers, who contend that they fit more
closely around the laips than the tafYelss
ones. In these days there are any num-
ber of soft finished taffetas that can

z GOOD MAY DINNER
FOR AeFAN1ILY OF SIX
With Veal so Plentiful in the Market and Fresh
Vegetables in Abundance, Most Attractive
Menu Can be Arranged
By CoRNELIA C. BEDFORD.

With veal in market in quantity and
fresh vegetables coming in quite freely
we are able TO provide meals which are
in keeping with tbs season at a com
paratiyeiy low cost That Is, If the
housekeeper does her own marketing:
the new fashion OF ordering by tele-
phone is extremely easy, but it is any
thing but economIea7. In course of con-
versation recently with a first class
dealer in meats and vegetables. I was
told that he was always glad TO take
telephone orders; il was easier and took
less time TO book twenty such orders
than 10 wait on three particular GUS
TONERS. He failed to add what a
friend Of mine was able to supply that
sac cuts delivered on such orders were
frequently more expensive and heavier
than the special ones ordered; his argu-
nIenf being that as he wished 10 give
satisfaction he thought II wisest 20 err
on what seemed to him the safe side.
Such seemingly trifiing differences were
found TO amount 10 a very respectable
sum in favor OF the dealer in the month
or so during which experiment was
made,
Presuming then. that the housekeeper
selects her own provisions. let her pur-
chase for a dinner for a family of six,
four pounds of breast OF veal, three
small carrots one small white turnip a
bunch of asparagus, d quart of new
potatoes. six small or three large firm
tomatoes. small head of lettuce a
quart OF Strawberries ard a pint of
cream. These. with the staples taken
from pantry and cellar are to be trans
formed into TITS menu:
Italian Soup

To Prepare the Veal.

GOLF BALLS,

The first golf balls were made OF
leather of untanned bulls hide, two
round pieces forming the ends and a
piece for the middle. These pieces
were softened, shaped and firmly
sewed together, small hole being
left through which the feathers might
afterward be inserted. Before stuff
fling the leather sphere was turned
outside in-an operation not without
its difficulties-so that the seams
would be on the inside. The skin was
then placed in cup shaped stand, the
worker having the feathers in an
apron before him, and the stuffing
was done with steel rod. The aper-
ture was then closed, the seam sewed
up, and the only seam showing was
this tiny one. But the life of each
ball was short. At present the balls
are made of gutta percha.
