Gingbann Frock Has No Place in Life
Of the Women of Sunny Old France

It is strsrge that. OF ali materials
the Partisan woman uses for her gowns
she seldom, almost never, wears ging-
ham. This may be explained in several
ways. yet 1t remains curious and inter
esting.
In the hrst place, most ginghams are
made in Scotland and in this country
France makes many cotton materials
from the cotton We send her, but these
materials are sheer aud of a solid color
Among them are soft-inished cambria
and batiste. Not one is a mixture or
weave that even remotely suggests ging-
ham. Linen fax. too, she imports and
weaves into her own softest qualities.
But II is upon the siikworm and the silk
that france expends her genius. In
siiken materials she Is the leader, and
Paris has first pick.
For this reason, then, 81 may be that
the Partisan woman chooses to wear
plain frocks Of foulard or batiste in The
morning, linen and lingerie gowns IN
the afternoon and satin and 4aces in
the evering.
Il is not altogether a question Of man
rfscture. Perhaps Il IL because the
French womaa's days are spent differ
ent1y from the American s II Is true

that the best-dressed women never en-
ter either omnibus or train.
A fiacre is always to be found, and
the price is low so II she has no
eQuipage of her own she hires one Of
these tiny VictOTiaS. In this she drives
during the morning to the shops and

She also drives If she intends to spend
morning with a friend, either Cos
siping or playing Ia bridge. When she
returns to dejeuner if she does return,
she Is likely, if without guests, to slip
into some dainty peignoir and have
luncheon served in her boudoir..
This over. she yill leisurely drers Ito

Spangled and Embroidered Robe
GoeUns Are No Longer thought Smart

In spite of this renewed popularity OF
ret and lace gowns, the long so-cailed
spsngled and embroidered robe gowns
are not smart. The new embroideTad
net dresses are more draped about
silk lining than hung directly over If,
sod this effect it is impossible to obtain
in the robe pieces which are so allur-
ing and, owing to the poor quality OF
the net employed in the most costly OF
them, such III advised investments.
Gold and sip er are frequently worked
in with the different designs IN pearl
and rhinestones. and the gold thread
embroidery is peculiarly effective
against the white of the stones.
Satin, or rather a soft. satin finished
silk is a far more effective foundation
for a gown of net or lace than Is taf-
feta or any dull silk, which tends TO
deaden the finish of the lace or en-
broidery The underskirts are as much
more voIuminous in comparison with
the petticoats of last winter as are The
skir1z of the gowns themselves. Ruff
fles of lace or silk just covering the
hem are seen again in many of the
Innings OF the new dresses.

The chief point OF difference IN the

IN the smart ball gowns for summer
and those Of the winter season Is in the
eoiors. Last year dark coIors were
much in evidenee-deep grsys. brilliant
tones OF rose pink and numberIess
shades Of dark blue and green. This
summer. on the other hand. pale shades
are much more numerous, with ali white
relieved by gold or silver trimming ia
predOminance. There are occasional
gowns Of palest silver gray with a
touch of pink or flesh color at the cor
sage. and these costumes are most
charming. Black, which lately has not
been SO much worn in the evening a.
other dark shades, is. however, return
ing to vogue, and the gowns OF black
chiffon draped over satin of some I'M
usual shade are bound to be singuIarly
effective.

Potato the Staple Diet;

In many families one Of the staple
articles q diet is the potato. for it is
inexpensive and easy to prepare.
A potato, well baked and mealy. is
one Of the most palatable OF all -vege-
tables.
And yet there are few people who
actually know how 10 bake a potato
without burning the skin or leaving the
contents soggy.
The oven should only be moderately
heated for baking potatoes. so that
they are evenly cooked throughout
The small end ofsa potato should ne
pTicked before it is~put IN the oven. 50
that Il will be kept from bursting.
A pleasant variety in baked potatoes
IS to skin them when raw, rub them
over with a creased paper dropped in
butter, and then baked in the ordinary
way
A delicious way 70 serve baked pOta-
toes is to remove them from the skin,
run through vegetable press, and mix
with butter. salt, and pepper, and any
other desired seasoning
