JUST IMAGINE.


One of the newest vogues In So
cial circles in London for engaged
men is the wearing Of gold bangles
above the elbow. It is not likely to
be adopted by the engaged men on
this side of the Atlantic New York
society men particularly have never
taken kindly to such fads. Some OF
them have been known to wear
bands of gold, presented by their
fiancee, on the upper part of the arm,
out of sight, so that few Of their in.
innate friends were aware of it. In
England the bangle, given by the
young woman, is locked on the arm,
and the summer sports golf, ten
mis- and rowing-haye revealed just
how many athletic youths are about
to become benedicts. The fad all
turns on fashion-rather late in
the day to discover it-set by the
king, who it appears since his mar.
riage has always worn heavy gold
bangle on his wrist. A dozen or If
teen years ago there were some men
in this prosaic country who were in
trepid enough to attempt the wear
ing of the gold bangle, but the
quibs and jests of their friends soon
weaned them of the fad.--Washing

Plain Shirt Waist.

- The plain shirt waist is one which
every woman needs This one can be
made as illustrated with regulation
sleeves or with plain ones that extend
in points over the hands and can be
utilized for the simple, mannish, tail
ored waist or as foundation for
daintier ones that are either tucked
to suit the fancy or cut from already
tucked material In this case butch-
er's linen is simply stitched and the
waist is one of the plain, useful sort.

and made with the plain sleeves
shown in the back view, 1t would take
on an entirely different aspect, yet
the same model is correct for both.
For the plain waist regulation sleeves
are held slightly the smarter and
there are great many women who
prefer the plain ones and there is a
choice allowed.
The waist is made with fronts and
back. It is finished with regulation
box pleat and with neckband, and
can be worn with the turned-over col
lar illustrated or with separate
stock as liked. Both the regulation
and the plain sleeves are cut In one
piece each, but the regulation sleeves
are finished with openings and over
laps at the lower edges and gathered
into straight bands.

To serve chicken livers en- brochette
allow one liver and six pieces Of thinly
sliced bacon for each person. Cut the
livers in four pieces and string them
alternately with the bacon on skew
ers. Stand the skewers upright
through the rack Of the dripping pan
and bake in hot oven until the bacon
is crisp and brown. Serve on bed of
cress.
To use up the leftover dinner fish
remove the bones and fake the meat.
Mix the fish with an equal part Of cold
boiled potatoes chopped moderately
fine and warm the hash in bacon fat
or butter. seasoning with butter, salt
and pepper. 1t is good idea to brown
the hash on the bottom and then fold
1t like an Omelet.
Smells skewered in rings with heads
and tails together, dipped in milk and
-four and fried in deep fat make an
attractive fish course. Garnish the
plate on which they are served with
cress and slices Of lemon that have
been dipped in minced parsley. II
they are to make the main part Of the
meal, serve them around mound Of
potato or make a potato border and
serve the fish rings In mound. The
smelts may be skewered with tooth
after the fish Is cooked, as the ring
will usually keep its shape.
The man Of certain house has a
dish which he invented when lie lived
in bachelor quarters. He sprinkles two
small slices of halibut with salt and
pepper and bakes them in a gas oven
until they are brown. Then he puts
them on piping hot platter and turns
Welsh rabbit over them. The men
Of his acquaintance eat the mixture,
If the women folk do scorn it.
A baked ham came to the table the
other day with lemon pig surmount-
ing the top. The young housewife who
likes things different" had used the
pointed end for the head, had raised
triangular pieces of the skin at each
side for the ears and stuck in cloves
for eyes. The legs and tail were tooth
picks. This is traditional garnish-
ment for pork.
The stuffed eggs served us fish
course at luncheon last week had
been cut in two, the yolks removed,
slice cut from each end Of the whites
so that the eggs would stand, and
the two small ends had been put to-
gether with the open cup ut the top.
This was heaped high with savory
mixture Of the yolll rubbed smooth
with melted butter, salt, pepper, papri-
ka and sardines. The eggs were served
on white lettuce leaves and were gar
nished with Spanish red pepper dice
and olive strips.

Every woman who does any sewing
at home should have some kind Of
gauge for helping to turn up hem
1t Is not an easy matter for any one,
even If she has an accurate eye, to
turn up hem by gauging the distance
from the floor with the eye alone. If
you have no gauge you can make an
excellent substitute from a piece Of
stiff cardboard. Make niche in the
cardboard at the distance the skirt is
to be from the floor. Rest the card
board on the floor and measure the
skirt with this. placing pins in the
skirt to mark where the cardboard is
niched The pins should be placed
quite close together, and when they
have been placed all around the skirt
1t may be turned up. This is an easy
and quick way of turning the skirt up,
and it will be found that if care has
been used in placing the pins the skirt
will be perfectly even all the way
around. Be careful to hold the card
board upright and not to slant it in
some places or the length of the skirt
will be changed.
