In the woolens, the materials that

MUST HAVE CONTRAST
FASHIONS EDIcTs OF A COUPLE
OF YEARS Eao REVERSED.
At That Time, to "Break the Lines Of
tho Figure" Was Forbidden, Now
1t Is Decidedly the Most
Correct Thing.

How long 1t seems-and yet 1t is
only year or two-since we avoided
contrasting belts and girdles as We
Of the figure" we called 1t, and 1t
ranked among the seven deadly sins
In the category Of clothes ethics.
But If there ever was a movable
quantity 1t is these sartorial sins.
What is one seasons crime is just as
flikely as not to be the next seasons
supreme duty. And the most con-
spicuous case in point just now is this
very matter of the insistent waist line.
Not that it must be defined by the
shape of the figure. The tendency has
been away from the hourglass and
toward the barrel But it has become
absolutely imperative to break the
lines" with belt, girdle, or sash in
color. These breaks rank from the
leather band, not more than an inch
In width, to swathing draperies which
are SO wide that they suggest the
apron overskirts of other days.
This season has witnessed a remark
able revival of interest in the leather
belt, which had decidedly languished
for several years. White embroidered
linen belts have practically disap-
peared, for the reason that they fail
precisely in the one requisite of con-
trasting color.
In their place we now have the
white leather belt, with colored leath-
er either applied or inset in long geo.
metrical designs; or else we have col
ored leather belts from one to six
inches in width. A six-inch suede belt
In callot blue, old pink, emerald green.
or black is worn with simple one-piece
white frocks or with the lingerie
blouse and the separate white or
cream-colored skirt.
While these wide belts will newt
ably crush to a certain extent. they
must not be pulled in tight Let them
come down below the real waist line
and allow the corsage to blouse over
them all around. In this way the
effect of suppleness. which should
characterize the figure. will be OBJ
tanned
The buckles, which are oblong ones
four or five inches in height, are either
covered with the leather itself or are
made of enamel to match But a
buckle with the lovely jeweled effects,
which are SO stunning this year. is bet
ter still-if one can afford It, As they
cost anywhere from So to s25, how
ever, they are not for women of slim
purses.

MEAT AND VEGETABLE SALAD
Left Overs" May Be Used to Advan-
tase In This Appetlzlns and Sea-
sonable Dish.

Free the meat from skin and bone
and cut into small dice. For each pint
make a French dressing with four Ia
blespoonfuls of olive oil, one table,
spoonful of salt and one-quarter OF
teaspoonful of plain or tarragon vine
gar, one-half of teaspoonful of salt
and one-quarter Of a teaspoonful OF
white pepper, and with 1t thoroughly
marinate the meat. Set aside in
cold place for an hour or more, that II
may be thoroughly impregnatei with
dressing, drain and marinate separate
ly with French dressing. Arrange
bed of lettuce or other green salad on
a platter, pour on it the meat and gar
nish it with vegetables. A few nastur
tium leaves will add piquancy to the
salad, or a little watercress may be
used with the lettuce, the comb nation
depending largely upon the meat on
hand and in the way in which IT was
cooked. Boiled meat usually needs
more in the way of seasoning than
roast meat; few drops of onion juice
or teaspoonful of finely chopped
chives is frequently a decided addi
ton.
