Lemon in Fudge college girl who
made fudge at a house party not long
ago surprised the onlookers by using
lemon Juice instead of vanilla The
acid made the fudge, more creamy as
well as added to its flavor. Sometimes

a Word About Footwear.

Undoubtedly the vogue for the short
skirt has had a great deal TO do with
the general taste for dainty footwear,
though the shoes and hosiery asso-
ciated with long skirts is quite as
elaborate and frivolous as that dis
played by the "trotting" skirt. the wo-
man who clings to the short length
is every whit as particular about hav-
ing her footwear faultless in shape
and color as the girl in a ball gown.
surprising number or smartly
gowned women display high French
heels and sheer silken hose with
gowns of ankle length, while others
prefer high Cuban heels and hose q
trife more substantial: but in nearly
every instance footwear matches per
fectly the tone OF the frock or its ac-
cessories. Low shoes are worn as long
as weather permits and from one ex-
IRENE TO the other the high boot takes
its place. Suede boots having fifteen
buttons are one OF the sensational in
novations for fall. and Judging from
the displays in custom shoemakers

be the fancied style during the winter

style viii BE Welcomed by Mothers,
Who Can Realize What u
Means In Neatness and
Economy.

Good news for mothers who must
reduce economy to science! This Is
to be an apron season for young peo-
pie, very young, and sweet sixteeners,
too.
Every mother knows that the use Of
aprons for school and home wear re-
duces expenditures for frocks. and
stretches the dress allowance for the
family most joyously.
Not that aprons are being worn be-
cause they are sensible and economi-
cal, but because the mothers OF the
very rich have set the styles by an
nouncing that the demure, homestead
ly inclined maiden is the very proper
est figure In the juvenile world. And
what the very rich announce the mid
die class confirm, so aprons 1t will be.
But" says some busy mother who
does her own work, laundering white
cambric aprons is such task"
Well, who said that all the aprons
we're of white cambric? In shops which
specialize juvenile raiment some per-
fectly stunning aprons which were not

They are in colors--and such colors!
For instance, fine zephyrs and Scotch
ginghams and chambrays in Dutch or
delft blue and white stripes; natural
colored holland and natural colored
linen, pique and batiste figured with
dots, rings, fleur de, lis, cubes and
other geometrical forms in fascinating
blues, browns, scarlets, etc. Then
there are new Amerlcan-made galatea
cloths for the hoydenish little maiden,
which wear and launder splendidly,
though trifie heavy on dainty little
girl.
| Quite naturally the blue and white
aprons are trimmed with fiat, white,
washable braid or strong white EN-
broidery, the natral colored aprons
are made. without trimming or with
natural colored embroidery, which,
however, Is not cheap A very good
thing to avoid is colored braid or col.
ored embroidery Of any sort. In using
either of these you take grave chances
on their running into the goods.
