In case some one missed the Mystic
Bakery Puzzle yesterday 1 am publishing
it again to-day. although I am inclined
to think that everybody bought the Sun
day edition of The Washington Herald,
because there has never been a Sunday
night when so many solutions of a
puzzle We're received since they began.
The answers to the Mystic Bakery are
already in stacks upon my desk: but
you need draw no conclusion from that.
1t isn't always the early bird that
catches the worm-not when it comes to
puzzles anyway. for the prize winners of
last week were among the last solutions
received just before the contest closed
There was the usual influx of answers
last week on Saturday morning, several
OF which might have won a prize had
they been entered in the contest before it
ended.
While I never wish to hurry your solu-
tions. nor take from you ary of the allotted
time the contest gives you for thought,
it always gives me pang of regret to
see correct solutions of the puzzle come
in after the fun is all over and the prize
awards have been fixed.
1 always think of all the dainty FEM
mime accessories l see in the shop WIN
dows, or on the counters in the stores
around the city, and, since I have a ge-
MUS for pricing everything I see, I can
not but remember how many of them
you might buy with any one Of the three

A Salad Basket.

A salad basket is something really
at first imply. md, indeed. the house
wife. on first sight of one of these spher-
ical baskets of woven wire, carefully
fashioned in two hemispheres, wonders
at its purpose. 1t is clever invention
for washing and drying the salad. After
washing the green, put it in the wire
basket and let it drain free from mois-
ture. By using this there is not the
slightest danger Of crushing the leaves
that is possible when the leaves are shak-
en- in a cloth. The lettuce or romaine
leaves. IL set away in the refrigerator
In this basket, will keep unusually crisp.

DAINTY DISH TEMPTS
THE JADED APPETITE

Planked eggs form an inviting dish
for the invalid whose delicate appetite
needs to be stimulated. Arrange a bed
of hot, seasoned, steamed rice on a
platter. Make six nests in the rice and
put small piece of butter in each one.
Then poach six eggs and turn one into
each nest. Serve piping hot This Is a
slight variation from the usual way of
serving eggs, which, while most nour-
ishing. soon become a tiresome diet

There is no nicer style for summer
wear at home and even in the streets of
a small town. 1t is also well adapted to
use when outing, as it is loose and cool
and may be worn without corsets if there
is any picnicking.
The shoulder seam comes well down on
the arm, in true naval style, and there
is a deep yoke facing rounded at its lower
edge. A small shield protects the chest
and this is attached TO a standing COL
lar. Both may be omitted. The lower
part of the blouse. hangs outside the
skirt although it may be tucked inside
by those who wish to do so. The collar
is the only ornamental feature and may
be of contrasting color.
Linen is the material generally en-
ployed in making these blouses, but heavy
gingham will also answer.
The pattern, 1916, is cut in sizes 80 to
20 inches bust measure. Medium size re-
quires 32s yards of So inch material

Trains for Gowns.

Though most skirts are cut short, those
for formal wear are beginning to show
signs of a return to elaborate trains, and
already some Innovations in the lines OF
the trains have been noted. A stunning
dinner gown OF cerise satin has the cross
over effect in both back and front, thus
giving a train with three sharp points.
Two points appear in the train Of
new mode!-a wedding gown this
time. On each OF the points il laid nat
a huge conventional blossom made OF the
white satin, and the space between the
two portions OF the train is partially
filed in with frill OF wide cream lace.
The square court train. hanging from
the shoulders is also in evidence on sew
erai handsome gowns. In one of these
the arrangement is somewhat out of
the ordinary because the court train does
not hang sauarely in the middle. being
swung around slightly toward the left
and caught in at the waist line on that

FOR APRIL BRIDE.
Supple Satin Has Preference, Though
Sheer Goods Are Also Used.

The April bride is occupying the at
tention OF many Washington dress
makers just now, and trousseaus in all
grades Of costliness and lavishness are
on the tapis. Some of these outfits now
in the hands of fashionable dressmak-
ers are as eXtravagant and elaborate
as the invention of the designer Will
allow. but for one trousseau OF this
type there are dozens which must be
planned with an eye to economy. AND
1T is the needs Of the bride who wants
an outfit modish and fairly complete.
yet practical and comparatively mex
pensive, that will be considered here.
Comparatively inexpensive only, be it
remembered, are these trousseaus. The
pretentions cannot be actually mex
pensive il it includes costumes TO meet
all needs. but compared with the aver
age trousseau the one outlined here
will be found modest in price.
Certain costumes the bride who in
tends to make any pretenSe or being
smartly dressed must have. The we'd
character Of the wedding as does the
bridesmaids costume. An evening
gown is essential, and probably more
than one will be needed. Fortunately
1t is possible to obtain excellent eff
fects at slight expenditure so far as
this item is concerned.
Then there must be a chic street or
travelling frock. dressy visiting cos
tune a sheer summer gown for aft
ernOons or informal dinners, few
pretty frocks OF muslin. pongee or
linen for morning and house wear. Add
an attractive neglige. an evening coat,
a coat for travelling. motoring, etc. .
blouses, hats, shoes. hose. gloves and
underwear, and one has an excellent

elaborate at will.

inexpensive gown of good style and of
good material and dainty trimming,

Fashion Hints.

The vogue for gay colors is making it,
self felt in the neckwear. especially in
the separate sailor collars that are so
popular. Green and black are a favored
combination in the silk collars and bright
scarlet collars with hens of black or of
stripped black and white tighten many a
sober costume. Windsor ties show tho
same combinations
handsome wrap is of violet satin
yelled In black chiffon and edged with
black ribbon velvet On each side, below
the arnhole-for the wrap. while practi-
cally straight piece, is caught in under
each arnl-is military-looking fringe OF
silver bullion. The wrap reaches to the
hem of the skirt in back and is almost
as long in the front.
A new way of using the ostrich bands
Is to face the upturned brm Of one of the
turbsns OF small hat shapes with the
ostrich. letting just the mere edge appear
above the straw.
In hats emerald and black make one
OF the best liked combinations. while
king blue and black are preferred in
gowns.
An odd neckpiece is shown i'm light
ecru and blue. The blue appears in a.
satin bow and the ecru in a net collar

FLOWER OF THE MONTH
APPEARS IN NECKWEAR

All through this month the daisy, the
flower of April is exploited in trimming
and embroidery. One of the prettiest
forms it takes is in the form Of the little
satin flowers attached to jabots of lace
and velvet. One neck finish in which it
makes its appearance consists of cerise
satin bow from whit n are suspended long
ends of black ribbon velvet ending in lit
tie ceriSe balls. Midway of the black
strcamers is a cluster of white and yell
low daisies made of ribbon. The style
also appears with the bow and balls of
white satin instead of cerise.

The Flower Turban.

Crushed pansies in all the lovely natural
purple shades. intermingled with pansy
colored velvet hide al! but the very
top Of the crown on a new turban. This
crown peeping forth when the wearer
bends her head provides a contrast that
is striking. and in any season but this
might have been thought inartistic, for
it is of the most vivid cerise hemp, q.
most as bright scarlet.
