New Overshoe Is Needed.
Now that the slipper and the pump
are worn on all sorts of occasions there
is urgent need for a new sort OF over
shoe that will solve an ever present
problem for the woman OF average
means. who must go forth in the
evenings on street cars or in other pub
lie conveyances
II is II great nuisance to carry slip

beautiful or how costly the bag may be,

1t is true that warm carriage shoes
are sold for the fortunate possessors of
limousinos, anu n few brave women do
wear thom after dark on street cars,
but they give an absurdly clumsy APP
pearance that only the courageous or
the strong minded are willing to pre-
sent. Fleece lined foot warmers trim

ment. So that, in The en% the whole
Paris output of fashion. while lice by
the original agreement. is nevertheless
characterized by great variety and
originality
If IL were not for this fundamental
harmony our styles would be in a
state OF anarchy. One house might
be attempting to transform us into bal
looms while another sought TO make
us sinuous and scrpentine-or as near
ly so as our inexorabie figures would
permit Certainly it is much better
to know whether we are TO be thick
or thin. whether our waist lines are
to be under our arms or are to de-
scend to our hips, whether we are to
be pegtops. hour glasses, or Greek
urns. These important items mt any
rate. are settled for us, which is more
or less OF comfort
Another rather common fallacy
among women is the idea that ''revo-
lutionary changes" are constantly
hanging over us. ready to be disclosed
at any moment. Yet that is n fear
scarcely warranted by experiences
Some women seem to imagine ia shion
as a sort of gazelle which with super
natural agility leaps from peak to
to designate in advance the partcu-
lar pinnacle on which 1t proposes to
alight next
Az matter of record, really rev.
dictionary changes arc not often in
troduced thus abruptly. Abruptness,
in fact, is the only thing that would
make them revolutionary. The large
movement of fashion are almost al
ways gradual. not violent They come
haltinsly, affecting first one detail,
then another. so that any woman has
time to adjust her wardrobe to it be-
fore it becomes tho accepted order. All
OF which is hero set forth as a con-
tribution to feminine peace Of mind in
this period Of hesitation.
Straws that show which way the
wind OF fashion will blow may be
looked for In such details as trim
mings. colors and accessories. Last
autumn, for instance, the conspicuous
showings of beaded and bugled laces.
Of yards and yards OF rhinestone trim

of tho evening costumes with which
the winter season has gIittered.

How the New Styles Are Created

The task of forecasting fashions is
complex and bewildering enough in all
conscience, but ii Is not cnveloped in
the altogether impenetrable fog with
which many persons imagine IL to be
surrounded. One OF the picturesque
fallacies common to many awe. struck
women has to do with the precautions
with which the great French designers
work.
This mistake, ii must be understood,
does not apply to the secrecy which is
maintained with the utmost rigor in
the Individual ateliers after they really
begin work OH their new models. No
pains are spared in protecting this
stage of the game. Bnt many women
do not realize that this period of CON
cealment is preceded by one Of mutual
consultation and agreement.
Weeks before the dates recognized
as those on which the seasons styles
are to be launched the Paris dressmak-
ers who sit on the thrones of fashion
agree among themselves concerning IL
general basis on which to work They
decide what shall be the chronology
and the geography of the styles they
are to create.
In other words. these rulers of the
realm of chiffons mako up their august
minds as to whether they will adopt
the Orient or the Occident as tile source
of their inspirations: whether 1t shall
be a period" season, breathing the
spirit of the moyen age, the directoire,
the early Victorian. or something else.
That they must agree on at least the
general trend is perfectly evident
otherwise we should find ourselves
confronted with a mere hodgcpodge. a
confusion which would leave us only
worse COMPOUNDED. For their own pro-
lection they must work from some CEN
trail ideas. and that is precisely what
they will do.
But, having agreed upon the main
scheme. every member OF the HER
archy Is free to follow his or her own
fancy in working out the notifications
and details. And 1t is at this point that
the epoch OF closed doors and closed
lips begins. Each of the great Dress
making houses Of Paris has many sep
arate ateliers, with an experienced
designer In charge OF every one
OF them. Each OF these ateliers pro-
duces Its own model. guided, of course
by the head OF the general establish

With the advent Of Lent the demand
for eggs increases, but as the supply
OF eggs increases also in the spring,
perhaps the price will go no higher.
Even with eggs at 60 cents dozen,
however. they can be used economi
cally. for five or SIX eggs for 20 or
80 cents contain more nourishment
than a pound Of chops or beef, and If
the eggs are made into an omelet they
will servo IA greater number OF per-
sons satisfactorily than meat Mt the
same price.
Omelets are difficult to make prop
erly, and only practice gives cook
the knack of turning perfect one.
The French cooks use no liquid In it
and beat the eggs only enough to
break the yolks; on this side of the
Atlantic the custom Is to add water
or milk. and many american cooks
beat the whites to stiff froth and
the yollls to foamy cream and mix
them together with knife, just
enough to blend them.
Some cooks Insist that water is bet
ter than milk: some insist that water
toughens the omelct and others insist
that milk makes it heavy. So the only
way to learn to make All omelet that
is light, of firm texture, substantial
and yet In no way suggestive OF leath-
Ell Is to try recipe after recipe and
method after method until perfection
is attained.
1t is easier to MAKE several small
omelets than one large one. ~ Is DIFF
icult to handle n large ono and it's
edges usually burn BEFORE the middle
part is done.
Experience alone tells the cook
when to turn an omelet. IL turned too
soon it falls from Its own weight.
Some cooks find it easier to slip 1t in
the oven as soon as 1t Is set around
the edges-pan and ail-until 1t puffs.
Then they turn one half on the other
half and send 1T to tho table.
An aluminium omeiet pan comes
made on the principle or waffle irons;
the whole pan can DO turned, and the
onelet may be cooked first on one
side. then on tho other. This pan is
easy to manage and n f1rst aid to tho

Remember that pan should be
