One-Piece Frock -
Made From Crepe

Cotton crepe has been used for some
time now for blouses. 1t washes so
easily and requires no ironing, SO that
it is a JOY to the economical and the
cramped for time and space.
Now it is being utilized for whole gar
ments, too-petticoats, nightgowns, cor
set covers. and one-piece frocks.
In these last It really shows up very
well, looking always fresh and wear
able, and keeping clean long while.
It Is seen not only in morning, but also
in afternoon and semidress gowns and
in all colors, though principally in white.
A cotton crepe kimono or nightgown
can almost be rolled up to put in a pill
box, and with its advent the problem is
solved of spending weekend with only
a small handbag. 1t cannot be mussed,
and the coarse cotton lace with which
1t is usually trimmed is also impervious
to hard treatment, and Is, besides, very
pretty and effective.

Velvet Striking
In Many Models

Velvet is used in this seasons modes
In ways that would have been called odd
a few years ago. Even white lingerie
dresses have borders of velvet applied
like deep hens, and the velvet is used
for revers on the gowns.
Another striking combination Is to
use velvet with the English eyelet em-
broidery on white linen or cambria. This
embroidery Is sometimes made up over
black silk and bordered with black vel
vet. Sometimes the velvet is the foun-
dation ard the embroidery is used as q
sort of tunic.
While black Just now is the most pop
ulars the colored velvets seem to be rap
idly gaining favor with the fashionable,
and they, too, have their share in the
sudden popularity of the fabric.

Hostess Who Serves
Sandwich Novelties
Makes Greatest Hit

Pass on silver sandwich plates, with
lace dolly underneath, or neatly heaped
on a fiat china or glass plate covered
with a dolly. Where many sandwiches
are served a small chop plate is often
utilized. Where there is a muffin stand
the sandwich plate is set on one of the
shelves, with plate Of crackers and a
basket of small cakes on the other two.
Novel Filings
Aim Of Hostess.
And with all this preparation you may
have no sandwich worth eating IL the
filling be wrong. Right here is where
the clever hostess racks her brains for
novelties.
Sandwich filings are of three orders:
Meat, IN which Is included fish and egg
sandwiches, cheese mixtures and sweet
sandwiches.
There are also various greens, though
lettuce Is so much used with all forms
that 1t can scarcely be classed by itself.
In this class may be put celery or en-
dive run through a fine meat chopper
and mixed with mayonnaise; cress and
nasturtium tendrils and pods mixed
with French dressing, and parsley chop
ped fine and mixed with shredded pep
pers or shredded onion.
For tea purposes decided onion mix
lures are better omitted, though finely
chopped white onion is relIshed with
capers and anchovy Filings.
For ordinary purposes cold meat or
poultry run through fine chopper and
mixed to a paste. with rich cream and
seasoning of salt and paprica, are de-
licious and not so rich as the mayon-
naise filings. Chicken and tongue mix
ed in equal parts are a pleasing novelty,
so is shredded bacon and ground chick
en-, with strips of pimentos. .E
Most OF the meat and fish salad left
overs can be used as sandwich filling.
Hot lobster newberg makes a delicious
sandwich, So does creaIned crab and
red peppers, and finely chopped shrimps
with capers masked in nayonnaiSe.
Green or red peppers chopped finely
and mixed with mayonnaise Is favor
lite filling, the latter being especially
artistic. -

-HERE are sandwiches and sand
witches. II you disagree fall upon
one sold on some railroad trains
for 10 cents.
AS sandwiches are no longer exclu-
sively picnic fare, but are in use daily
during winter for afternoon tea, the
hostess who is going to make a hit is
she who serves sandwich novelties.
There are one or two essentials to all
sandwich making. Chief Of these are
good bread and butter. Bread should be
preferably day old, of fine, close grain,
and evenly baked. Where much is used
there should be special pans for home
baking, and sandwich loaves are to be
ordered from the baker. This saves
waste.
The bread should be cut evenly and
thinIy II the knife be heated cutting is
more quickly done. Crusts are not cut
Off until the sandwich is filed.
Butter Inner Sides
Before Filling.
Butter should be soft enough to spread
easily, but not melted. Some persons
butter before slicing. but unless the loaf
Is square the slices are not put together
evenly. Otherwise put the bread slice
upon slice and butter the two inner
sides before filling.
The modern sandwich is small and
shapely. The favorite form just now is
round, though triangles and narrow OBJ
longs are also good. A rather novel
form is the roll. The thin slice is spread
as for sandwich, then rolled in on, it.
self until about the thickness of two
fingers. Sharp biscuit cutters are used
for round shapes after the slices of
bread are put together with the filling.
Too great care cannot be taken in
shaping, as sandwiches OF uneven size
are not appetizing, and reflect upon the
social knowledge of the hostess
II made several hours before they are
used sandwiches are packed closely to-
gether. and wrapped in a linen cloth
wrung from ice-water, then in a dry
cloth.

Imitation Cluny
Gaining In Favor

We have grown quite used to seeing
all-over embroidery worked over in
part Of the pattern in, coIored en-
broidery, but lace treated in, the same
way is somewhat new. lt
Such laces as imitation cluny and
Irish gain immeasurably in effective
ness and apparent value when a part
of the motifs is worked over In loose
silk stitches in some decided but rather
dark color, to harmonize with the cos
tune.
Separate low lace collars lose all pos
sfbility Of cheapness when adorned in
this way Simply three or four rows
of motifs, perhaps each in one OF the
colors of peasant embroidery, dark red,
green, blue and brown, on coffee or.
cream colored lace, make an improve,
ment which is really wonderful. A few
long-and-short stitches on wheels or
diamonds or some other motif are all
that is needed. 81

Easy Way to Wash
~ Frilled Garments

Before putting in the laundry the one
side pleated frills and frilled collars
which are so pretty and popular and
yet 50. hard to do up," run row of
basting stitches about an inch from
the outer edge. That will hold the
pleats in position while washing and
will save time and trouble later in iron
ing. This is especially true If you are
not the proud possessor of a patent
pleating iron.
These frills, by the way, should, when
possfble, be made separate from the
blouse and buttoned, looked or pinned
on, so that they do not have to go so
often to the tub. They really do not
get dirty so quickly as the more ex-
posed parts of the blouse, and they are
a great nuisance usually to wash and

with friHs stitched on, 1t is an easy
matter to rip them off and supply but
