RENOVATlNG THE TULLE VEIL
Few Moments Care and Trouble Will
Restore Adornment to Orig
inal Beauty.

Tulle wells that have become limp
may be renovated by pressing them
with a warm iron, having first placed
handkerchief between the iron and
the tulle. Lace wells and scarfs should
be soaked in a strong lather of white
soap and soft water and allowed to
simmer gently in saucepan over a
fire for about twenty minutes.
The wells should be lifted out and
squeezed tightly. but not rubbed, then
rinsed out in cold water. The second
lot of water should be family tinged
with blue and have in it small guam
tity of hot starch. Clear the wells OF
any particles of the starch by clap
ping well between the hands; then
pin on a clean white cloth and allow
to dry. In this manner they Will look
as fresh and clean as when new. and
they may be washed any number OF
times. Wells should always be ironed
with a handkerchief or piece of fine
linen between. as they are much bet
ter and wear longer IL they do not
come in direct contact with the iron

TRANSPARENT YOKE Is HERE
Takes the Place of Low Neck Dress
and Is Welcomed Almost
Unanimously.

Except for actual evening dress, the
low neck is not seen now. Fash
| ion DEGREES 'nstead-and good sense
for once joins her-that the transpar-
ent yoke and high collar be worn in
stead.
This yoke may be pleated or tucked,
but more frequently 1t is perfectly
plain, without a suggestion of ruching
or ornamentation OF any kind. Ot
course the collar must be boned, but
the bones are made as few and as in
conspicuous as possible, so that the
yoke and the collar seem simply fitted
closely, though not tightly, to the
figure.
These yokes are usually of net,
though chiffon and even tulle or ma
line are occasionally seen. particularly
the first: and they are, nine times out
of ten, dead white. If you have not
the sort of skin that can stand pure
white next to 1t, insert tiny fold OF
ccru or hesh-colored chiffon under the
ton of your collar, but do not let 1t
be apparent.
This style is especially seen in
dressy gowns in the darker colors-
most of all in black. The color con
trast is striking, and is usually most
attractive and becoming. Although
one would not think SO, it looks espe-
cially well on middle-aged women who
have not lost their fresh complexions
and whose hair is white or gray. Moth
ing could be more distinguished in
appearance than a draped black silk

these white net yokes and collars,
on woman of this type.

borne with comfort Cand as tight

the ears. In general, it has not even
line of black at the top. but is, as

IN THE WINTER DAYS

TABLES OF SUMMER.
Stuffed Onion One Of the Best That
Can BE Reealled-Varied Methods
OF Serving the Always Accept
able Potato.

Tho days are here when the aver
age housewife who must cater for her
self IL put upon her mettle as mar

Onions we have always with US.
however, and they are excellent In
other ways besides plain boiled or
fried, as they commonly figure in the
household plan. For instance, they
can be stuffed, the sweet Bermuda
onions being specially good for the
purpose. Here is one popular formula.
Large specimens are selected and
boiled until nearly tender but not
quite so. The inside is taken out,
leaving just a shell. Minoe the part
taken out with three cooked sausages,
hard-boiled egg, two tablespoonfuls
of bread crumbs, seasoning as liked,
an ounce OF butter, four drops OF ta-
basco and little minced parsley. The
shells are filed with this mixture.
cracker crumbs scattered over the top,
tiny bit OF thin bacon is put on each,
after which they are baked 80 min
utes. or until agreeably soft.
Potatoes. the dependable, will figure
henceforward more than they
have done during the past
months OF abundance. They have
the culinary virtue of being In
finitely variable. For instance, when
boiled and baked and fried, they have
become a little wearisome and the
homely tubers are no longer young
enough to carry a sauce gracefully
try them baked with eggs. For mod
crate sized dish in this style you will
need four cold boiled potatoes and six
hard-boiled eggs, all cut in slices about
a fourth of an inch thick.
Put a layer OF the potatoes in the
baking dish, which must be well but
tered, seasoning with salt, or salt and
pepper, cover with a layer of the eggs.
Repeat this and pour over the result
two cups of thin white sauce. Cover
with cracker crumbs soaked in butter
and bake until brown on top. This is
a substantial autumn dish.
For those to whose digestions the
sturdy sausage filing would be ana
thema, this more delicate method may
appeal
Cook and scoop out the vegetables
as before. but stun with a filling made
! Of equal parts of chicken (cooked),
soft stale bread crumbs and the re-
moved part OF the onions. This should
be slightly seasoned with salt and
pepper IL liked, and is to be moisten-
ed with a little cream or melted but
