Which Is the Name of

From the mystic, marvellous land OF
dreams we come back to unique little
puzzle, "A Culinary Courtship," COM
prised Of groups Of questions pertaining
to the felicity Of a bride and bridegroom,
the answer to each Of which is the name
Of some delectable edible served for
dinner.
In entering the new contest you must
not expect any such marvels as the fol-
lowing Of strange will-'o-the-wisp. night
time experiences opened up. for this is a
very material little puzzle, having to do
with the side of life that is anything out
a dream.
At the same time the subject Of the
enigma Is one IN which every woman is
interested, whether she does her own
catering or depends upon others for the
planning Of her meals.
II would be a delightful and novel din
ner that wes made up from this mystic
menu, the guests having no guide for
their ordering other than the questions
asked In the puzzle.
Undoubtedly there would be many sur
prises when orders were served.
Tho Culinary Courtship'' contest will
be governed by the same regulations that
have served in the solutions of other
puzzles. with the usual cash prize
awards.
The contest win end at noon on Friday
and prize winners will be announced next

which they write their solution. Sepa-
rate cards and little slips of paper bear

MANY NEW FROCKS HAVE
DAINTY SATIN GIRDLES

Very few Of the summer frocks
whether elaborate or simple. do not
show some sort Of sash or girdle ar
rangement. Big bows and long, wide
scarf ends Of black maline appear on
some Of the light hued models, and the
new velvet with a taffeta back in color
is effectively used for sash effects.
In these velvet sashes there is a wide
end in two loops lying fiat, one over the
other, but Of different lengths. This gives
much Of the effect Of a detached skirt
panel and breaks the tight line OF the
skirt in back without producing. any

EMBROIDERED COLLAR,
WITH TIE ATTACHED

The sheerest Of handkerchief linen and
fine laces are used in fashioning the
dainty neckwear Of the spring and many
new and artistic designs are seen in
both the embroidering and shaping of
the collars, cuffs, and jabots.
One embroidered collar of fine white
linen in round shape was edged with
large scallops. which in turn were cut
into smaller scallops. Two ends of the
linen embroidered in the same design as
the collar were attached to the points
to be tied into dainty little bow This
is a much better idea than pinning on
Jabot which does not match the COL

BLACK VELVET SHOWN
ON LINGERIE FRoCKS

Lingerie gowns this season are no,
ne plain white affairs OF past years, for
black velvet and satin are shown in
many original touches.
One Of the most effective and prac-
ttcal Is the black velvet band on the
skirt bottom. This is especially novel
when the gown has a scalloped edge,
which is effectively played up against
the black velvet background.
An enhancing lingerie frock recently
seen was Of cobweb-like null with trim
mings OF Irish lace which formed points
on the black velvet hem, some four inches
deep. The round neckline and the sleeves
were banded In the black velvet, over
which points Of Irish lace came up In

Miss Moore's Letter.
"Inclosed is one Of several peculiar
dreams that have visited me from time
to time While they are in progress I
seem perfectly familiar with a certain
underground temple I have mentioned.
which is like a palace in its appoint
ments, having magnificent gardens and
lawns. The rooms are vast and luxuri-
ously furnished. but also there are vast
stone rooms, absolutely empty, with the
exception Of a stone settle, perhaps, or
some other object necessary to the
lesson in hand.
Many times in my dreams have vis-
tied this temple, and always have a diff
ferent experience. It seems to be the
abode Of some religious order. The
members are all men, seemingly, young
and old, clad in white flowing gar
ments, while over their faces they gen.
orally wear a white veil. If there are
any women there, I have never seen
them. I have had many hard tasks set
me- which, when accomplished, leave
me with a feeling OF inward happiness

hearted for. days.
