the delight of every French cook. This
is no more than A double boiler arranged
to hold several dishes AT once. One of
the difficulties of most inexperienced
cooks is that of timing their cooking so
that all the different dishes planned for a
meal will be finished at the same time
The balm marie solves this difficulty. for
as soon as any sauce. soup, meat or
vegetable is cooked 1t can be put In one
Of the dishes of the balm marie to keep
hot.
Another kitchen convenience is an odd
little dish mop just put on the market.
1t is made OF string. and therein 1t re-
sembles the sort of mop which has been
in use for years. but there the resem-
blance ceases. For TO the end of the
wooden mop handle Is attached a rubber
hose which has double end, to fasten to
both the hot and the cold water faucet.
The water flows through the hose and
thence through the handle Of the mop,
which Is hollow. and SO through the mop
itself. Dish washing with ever fresh
water supplied in this way could hardly
be unpleasant

III New York a hat every other day Tor
turkey trotting. She had plenty OF
money but no social opportunities. ana
restaurant dancing gave her chance
TO show off her gowns and hats ana De
come figure in that world.
This Is plausible argument and one
that a Frenchman would instantly see
To him any opportunity to appear In
public is indissolubly linked with the
chance TO exploit clothes. In America
this seems to be true only when money
and society are involved: we turn all
our batteries on women of fashion mar
ried to men of wealth. and do not take
into consideration the thousands of
women tsde of that charmed circle
who love clothes. who dress We'll and
who lack any chance to crafty their
warnings
NJ. Worth thinks that the question or
public dancing is settled for us when
not attended by vicious mannerisms. and
that after the unpleasant element is
weeded out we will have 4 playground
for innocent pleasure for all the young
who now have no way OF enjoying So
cial life.
No one will aid and abet the pursuit
Of turkey trotting more than those who
sell apparel. They are enchanted by
the chance to clothe hundreds of women
in attractive costumes and they are al
ready inventing dozens Of dance frocks
that heretofore had no sale because OF
a lack of large patronage.
The younger member of the house of
Worth is quite teller of stories. by
the way, and when questioned con-
corning the value of exclusiveness. per-
sonal and otherwise. in relation to bust
ness. said that his uncle, the founder
of the house. believed in keeping away
from his customers and he maintained
an air of isolation in private life. This
gave rise to story among the credu-
lous that in his island home he was so
averse TO seeing people he had yacht
under the roof and when he wished TO
go out he got on it in his dining room,
then pressed a lever which opened the
side Of the house and allowed his yacht
to sail forth with him below decks, so as
not to be visible to the public.
So persistent was this story and so
real was the elder Worth's desire for
privacy that famously rich and titled
woman kept at him to take her to his
island home on one of her semi-annual
visits TO Paris for clothes, which. of
course, Worth made. After years of this
laughing entreaty. he consented. and
when she at last was invited TO the
house she insisted upon being shown all
the art treasures of the place. In return
for the hospitality she said: Now
see where all my money has gone which
have paid you for clothes Jean
Worth. said this convinced his uncle he
was entirely right in never allowing the
outside world to visit him, and thereafter
closed his door to IL.
The idea of wearing coats of one color
and skirts of another is progressing SO
rapidly that it is difficult to keep away
from the subject for a week at a time.
What began in a modest combina ton
of black and white has reached lurid
combinations of purple and red. blue
and green. violet and blue, sulphur and
turquoise.
So fanciful and vivid are many Of
the combinations that a plaid skirt with
a blue or black coat is quite demure:

as their style has become almost stand

%EAN WORTH made some interesting
remarks about clothes and turkey
trotting He has been stopping III
America for the first time, and he
took the most unusual view OF the
popular dance that any foreigner or
American has had. which was that II
produced more dressing among the masses
than any other amusement this country
offered.
He has taken to the base ball game TO
form some opinion OF our national sport,
hut. like true foreigner, he neither I'M
derstood il nor found interest IN II, ana
like a true F'renchman, he at once
looked upon 1t from the viewpoint OF
fashionable clothes-and found them
not.
II took him some time to get over this
ehock. because he had supposed that
these games are to America what the
races are to Europe and that he would
see there wonderful clothes worn by
fashionable and woud-be fashionable
women He found few representative
women there. and none wearing any
other kind OF gown but a severely tai
lored one He was astonished that the
game was merely a pastime of the male
sex and in no sense a society event
He was then taken TO the leading
cabaret shows in New York to see the
turkey trotting upon which the mayor
has put a ban. What he thought of it
personally being a Partisan. is not diff
cult to imagine. but what he thought of
IL from the viewpoint of clothes is orig
inal He was enthusiastic about its
being the first aid IN spending money
on apparel. He communicated this view
TO one of the leading importers. who be-
gan to ask questions of his staff as to
whether II had any effect on their
sales: he found that they were i'm
mensely increased for this very pur-
pose.
VI. Worth carried this thought away
from America as his vital impression
about clothes and expressed himself
concerning it in an interesting way. He
had penetrated to the fact that our
American life does not offer as many
social opportunities to those not fash
ionably placed az other countries do.
The opening OF all the restaurants for
promiscuous dancing in the afternoon
and evening gave a vast number of
women in the large cities chance to
show off their costumes: these We're the
ones who may not have had a chance to
go to private dances and who had here
tofore taken their pleasure in way
that did not require good clothes
Turkey trotting. said NJ. Worth, would
remain in fashion for. this very reason.
and public dancing would probably die
hard, If at all. in this country. An at
tractive woman could go to an inexpen-
sive restaurant and could dance all even
ing and would therefore buy half a
dozen evening gowns. whereas she prob
ably did not own one before
Afternoon costumes would increase
correspondingly, because for the price
or tea and toast beer and cheese
sandwiches one could have three hours
OF dancing; one woman Of whom Worth
knew had bought from friend of his
