How TO Take Raw EGGS.

An invalid who has been compelled
10 subsist largely on diet of raw eggs
has found several ways Of making
them more appetizing When little
lemon Juice is squeezed over a raw
egg, she says. the flavor reminds her
of oysters. For change she uses
orange Juice and has the whole beaten
to stiff froth. Raw egg whites she
manages to consume without pain by
mixing them with the juice of an
orange and some chopped or crushed
ice. SO treated. she says, the taste Of
the egg is not perceptible.

trimmings, and the use Of the long or
short tunic in many new forms.
The surplice and the ichu style for
the waists is carried out in every sort
of gown, from the plain linen or en-
broidered one to the yelled evening
gown. The point OF crossing, in either
case, is arranged well toward the belt,
which allows an opportunity for con-
siderable elaboration in front trim
ming. Trimming bands are being ap-
piled in various pointed effects, since
the point is the keynote Of all trim
ming motifs this season.
Many of the newest models in lin
gerie gowns as well as in the evening
costumes are trimmed in a manner to
suggest the bolero, which is gaining so
rapidly in favor again On the dressy
gowns fringe Is sometimes used TO fin
ish the edge Of the trimming, while
on the simple models hand embroid-
cry and bead work are used to supple
ment the bolero Of lace insertion.
A novel feature Of few Of the lat
est lingerie gowns is the use Of the
black tunic Of cotton net, or the In
PRODUCTION Of several rows Of black
lace into the skirt. A striking gown

edged with tiny black balls. and black

which thus simulated a tunic. The
edge OF this was also trimmed with
the ball fringe, in white.

these lingerie models, With a very ap
parent preference for the bit o. black.
Much ingenuity is exercised IN cater

Elightfully unique Is the result many
times. Just the right character was
given to a baby Irish lace robe By the

|extent than ever before this spring,
the long coat is bound to be in demand
for wear with the summer silks and
lingerie gowns The full length coat
fashioned in the straight line effects,
made up in serges for the utility gar
ment, and in silk or satin for the
dressier models, is easily in the lead,
although before the end Of the season
1t is expected that the tendency to
shorten the suit coats will make itself
felt in the odd coats also. Particularly
clever are the white serge coats, with
the black hairline stripe. One of these
cut with the popular raglan sleeve and
having a broad belt high across the
back, to give a certain Empire effect,
had a large, black satin lined hood col
lar and was trimmed with large metal
buttons on the cuffs and collar.
For early spring wear there is moth

form without exactly following the
CURVES The snug hip and bust, and
the narrow shoulder, with only the
waist line underlined, aids In the ac-
complishments Of this result in these
seven-eighths fitting garments. Some
times the waist line is made quite a
bit higher than usual, either by means
Of the cut itself, or through some sort
of trimming The full length coat
sleeves are used exclusively on the
tailored models, mounted with a plain
head In the more dressy styles of
the three-piece costume the kimona
sleeve cut in one with the body of the
coat is most frequently used.
Every possible variety Of the sailor
collar Is to be found on the smart
street suits This form of collar is
particularly adapted to the narrow
styles that prevail, giving a certain ex-
preston and balance TO the figure that
it would otherwise lack. Showing the
prevalence of the new point motif that
is noticeable in all the latest designs is
the collar with great double points In
the back, and sometimes a couple of
points In front. Other new forms are
shallow at the back, broad at the
shoulder points, and taper sharply up
TO the front closing. There is a ten
dency toward making this front clos
ing extend considerably higher than
has been the rule in the past season.
since some Of the new collars which
are wide in the back and narrow to-
ward the front seem to require this
but it Is doubtful If 1t will
be general until the fall days make
the higher closing seem desirable.

HOME GROWN FLOWERS
Fresh From, Plants to Buyers

Flower lovers in Ell Paso and imme-
Hate trade vicinity are extremely for
tunate in the fact that the prohiDitive
prices that flowers have heretofo
been sold at are now practically of the
past That is, one no longer needs to
pay unheard of prices.
Until some few months ago most of
the flowers sold in Ell Paso were
shipped in from California and other
FAR distant points and sold at prices
that We're actually absurd. especially
considering the fact that the flowers,
one too good in the first place, would
lfter being shipped hundreds of miles,
rive here in a sorry condition.
Now, although the imported flowers
still offered for sale here, most Ell
asOans are rejoicing over the fact that
is no longer necessary to depend on

worsteds are also greatly in demand
as well as silver-grey mannish looking

term for the fashions now
- in vogue The style max
ers themselves this season would seem
TO have shifted this responsibility onto
posterity's fashion mongers. They
have given us revivals Of the dress of
the Directoire period, Of the days of
the Empire, and of the Middle Ages,
and adaptations of the Russian garb
and the peasant costume and the Greek
effects, but they have quite neglected
to supply US with a picturesque name
for present-day styles 1t is perhaps
because they are rather bewildering
combination Of ideas adopted from so
many sources that it is impossible to
lay one finger on any dominant char
acteristic suggestive Of other times and
peoples. So it is possible that we are
in the midst of an epoch all our own
in dress, which, who knows, may some
time be referred to as that Of the Aero
Age, perhaps.
If we hear little about style we bear
q great deal about the silhouette The
shadow we cast, these days, is more
important than the costume that casts
it. That Is to say, it is the lines Of
garment that determine it's fashion
ableness, and these lines must be mar
roFY, straight, slender, close. In the
suits this is produced by making
straight seams from the shoulder to
the bottom Of the coat without defining
the waistline. This is accentuated
further by the narrow cut of the
shoulders and the snug fitting hips,
which hug the skirt so closely as to
seem a part of it. The skirts, though
the tight banding about the bottom has
been entirely abandoned, are very mar
row and straight, measuring not more
than PA yards about the bottom.
The short coat is the thing. Byi
stealthy inches the tailors have been
shipping OF our coat tails, until not |
particle longer than twenty-six inches
may we wear our suit coats and con- |
slider ourselves in style. In the dressy |
suits the belted blouse with q short |
pepIum is also shown, and the Elton
jacket, If not actually arrived en-
masse, is certainly on its way, as nu-
merous models in the high priced cos
tunes prove. 1t is a natural sequence
Of the short-waisted gowns and the
skirts.
In fit the new jackets are a marvel
for the way in which they reveal the

German Portable Tower.

The German army is experimenting
with a novel form of portable tower
designed particuIarlys for the use of
artillery trains, by which It is possible
for the men to note the effect of their
own fire. The timber pole of field
gun may be used as an observation
station. being hinged so that it may
swing vertically. According to the
Scientific American before erecting
the pole rope ladder with shield is
fixed in place. The rope ladder is
frightened automatically as the pole is
swung into position. The protective
shield, when not in use, is carried in
front on the gun timber arms and on
the case frame, and at the same time
serves as a foot rest for the men seat
ed on the timber. All the instruments
used for observation are carried in
receptacles below the foot rest as well
as IN the timber case itself.
