SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE SUMMER FROCK
Daily Fashion Talk.
BY FRANCES CARROLL.

IN response to several requests for a
simple and effective model for the
combination of two materials I am
offering the pattern illustrated. By the
medium of this pattern a particularly
attractive frOck might be effected using
plain blue fouiard combined with coin
dotted fOulard. the figured silk TO be
used for the deep band which practical
ly forms the bodice and borders the
tunic overskirt. If desired a pretty
touch would ne given the garment thus
evolved by having the narrow front
vest-Iike portion Of the bodice made
OF tucked or soutached net, the net be-
ing also used for the forearm portion
Of the sleeve in the event of ones not
fancyinE an elbow sleeve.
Developed in pOngee with a Persian
border, the frock would be no less at
tractive- Again, as a mourning frock,
the pattern would be successfully work
ed out in any Of the soft mourning silks
with the bodice portion and the border
of the tunic made Of heavy Brussels
net soutached in a flowing design. No
less successfully does the model appeal
10 the woman who is looking for sim
pie and effective lingerie gown. White
batiste with lace and embroidery. any
OF the popular bOrdered gmg hams or
plain and lowered organdles With net
in conjunction with lace or siL1roideries

smart summer outfit sufficiently simple
in construction to be readily under
taken by the average home dressmaker.

To Preserve Strawberries.

A simple method OF preserving straw
berries follows. Remove the hulls from
four pounds Of fine. large berries
thoroughly ripened and put them in a
colander. rinsing thoroughly with cold
water. Drain and place the fruit. with
one pint Of sugar, IN a preserving ket-
tie, allowing a half cupful Of sugar for
each pound of fruit. Place the Kettle
over the fire and boil for i've minutes,
counting from the time the fruit reaches
the boiling stage. Fill into jars, close
at once and keep turning the Jars up
side down every few minutes till cold.
The berries will soak up the syrup and
present a firm appearance. If It is de
sired that they should retain their
natural color a small quantity Of pink
coloring may be added.

COLLEGE WOMAN
HAILED AS BOON
Achieves Success in Business BY
Demonstrating Her Re-
SOurcefulneSS.

From an attitude Of skepticaI indiffer-
ence toward her presence the American
business man has come TO regard the
college woman in business as a real
boon in an age that is calling every day
more and more insistently for reliabil-
ity, power to reason ana initiative n
subordinate positions
1t is now not merely the person who
can take orders intelligeutIy who IS
wanted, but the person who can take
orders progressively, who can see the
business purposes, who can follow the
leader Ike a good soldier and develop
her end Of the business like a wise part

And not only IN routine positions has
the college girl proved her ability TO
tackle live problems. but in the fields OF
independent enterprises as well she has
achieved a success that disposes, once
for all, Of the old idea that she had no
initiative or daring.
