A sherbet made OF cantaloupe is q
dainty way Of preparing. Remove the
edible portion from several canta-
loupes, mash to a pulp, and measure
It. To one quart Of the pulp odd one
pound of sugar and pint Of water.
Boil the sugar and water together

Cut small melons In half, carefully
pare of the rind, and serve in small
dishes, filling the cavity of each mel

PARIS, June 23.-Even the Partisan
journals, used as they are TO daring
styles in women's dresses, spoke re-

seen yesterday at the fashionable
Auteuil race course. Auteuil set the
latest word in fashions, the decree
being that tight skirts are giving
way to transparent garments which
are absolutely no obstacle to the eye
Many women wore skirts of white
muslin so transparent they failed ut
terly to serve the purpose of cover
ings. The gowns, mostly free from
frills, are cut extremely low in front
and even lower in the back.
The slashed skirt devotees exceed
ed the limit. Some of them were not
only slit at the sides, but in the front
and rear as well. Most of the slashes
reached above the knee.
One woman wore gold sandals
without stockings. The sandals were
fastened to the feet with pink rib
bons. The three tier skirt made its
appearance in white, blue, purple and
brown. Most Of the hats were small
decorated with aigrettes.
Among the Americans at the race
track were Mrs. w. e Corey, Mrs
