THINGS IN SEASON.

OF course. in these days of cold storage
and fast trains, all kinds of fruits ana
vegetables may he bought all the year
round if the housewife can afford the
high prices.
Many folks. however. don't like to eat
things out of season. and a word as TO
what fish, game. and vegetables are in
season may help to vary the home
menu during tie coming month
The January fruits include apples.
bananas. dates. figs. grape fruit. Malaga
grapes. lemons. oranges. pears. pineap-
pies. pomegranates. prunes. and raisins.
Any or all OF these may he purchased
at any first-class shop. while the vege-
tables for the month include beets, cab
haTcs. carrots. celery. cress. egg plant.
endive. cultivated mushrooms, onions.
oyster plants. parsnips. potatoes, pump
kins spinach. winter hubbard squash.
and turnips. while the hot-housc vege-
tables include tomatoes, cucumbers, and
lettuce.
Ii is a good time of year for game. and
the connoisseur is in his element. for he
may order any of the following things
and he pretty sure of getting it: Bear,
grouse. opossum. partridges. quail, rab-
bit, reedbirds. wild duck. wilde geese,
wild turkeys. and woodcock.
Poultry. too. is plentiful, though rather
high in price. AMI includes chickens,
ducks. geese. guinea fowl. pigeons. pull
lets. squads and turkey.
or course. almost any kind of meat
may be had. but those that are best
during this first month of the year in
clude beef. lamb. mutton, pork. and
veal.
That brings tho ho,,sevife's = list all the
way down to fish, of which there are
many kinds.
To begin with. clans and oysters. lob
sters, crawfish, scallops. and shrimps Of
fer suggestions for varying the daily
menu. while other fish which may be
bought at reasonable prices are black
bass, haddock, halibut, mackerel, red
and whitcbait.
a limited income with a family whose
appetites vary usually finds the daily
menu heavy burden.
But by watching the seasons and buy
ing when things are at their prime she
may have many delicacies which other
wise she could not afford.
Then. too, little of some expectedy
good dish will go long ways toward
making a dinner seem elaborate.
Grape fruit are pplentiful and not ex-
pensive now, but how many housewives
think to have grape fruit salad after
the meat course at dinner?
The introduction of little fish or a fish
course of some kind also makes up for
a less expensive meat while a tiny dish
Of cucumbers served with the fish makes
it even more enjoyable and is not expen-
sive
So the wise housewife is the one who
buys carefully and serves daintily what
ever the month Of the year it Is.

Tunics Still Here.
From the Baltimore SIN.


With an inSiStence that is surprising
and an effect that is undeniabIy becoming
tunics are still shown on all types of
gowns. Your husband. poor dear, prob
ably wonders at the same line that is
suggested on new gowns. He remembers
vaguely. that he has seen that same
double or triple effect before and. II
he be fearless, will suggest that there
seems to be a needless repetition. But
that only proves that he knows little of
the vagaries of Nine. La Mode.
Tunics that vary from rippes of hip
length to long skirts that drop to Within
few inches of the ground are still in
great favor They can be of any material
that you choose. and can be weighted
down with beads, fringe. or braid. They
can be straight or with modified lower
line. but they are the accepted lines for
skirt trimming, and that is the main
thing.
And why not? Do they not solve the
question of yelling one material with an
other. and solve ii successfully? Is there
not wonderful field opened up when
color is considered? And last of ALL do
they not afford excellent opportunity for
combining two remnants? On. joy to the
unlimited purse!
So much for the figure can be done by
a tunic that one does not wonder at the
continuation of favor of this style. A
short figure can have several inches
added in appearance by a cleveriy ar,
ranged tunic that brings the lines of the
bodice down along the skirt. a tall. thin
figure can be rounded and shortened by
double or triple tunics, to break an abb
normally long line.
So gather your tunics around you.
madam. and enlighten an erring husband
anent the factor of dress that will be
carried over into a new season.
