The Madonna Fichu.

Why the Madonna fchu is so called no.
body seems to know, but at any rate it
makes a satisfactory covering for the
blouse Of ugly cut or evil fit, since 1t
conceals most of the back and fronts and
a goodly portion Of the sleeve tops.
The Madonna fichu actually is a Shout
der cape, with a deeply rounded back
reaching to the belt. and so broad is 1t
at the shoulders that its lower edge ter
inmates half way between the top and
the elbow of the sleeves.
The front tabs, instead of tapering,
continue broad for their entire length.
and have square ends which come fatty
against the figure and are fastened to
some part of the frock by invisible hooks
and eyes.
The Madonna fichu is made in variety
of ways. A model which is greatly liked
In soft silk or fine linen is in two layers.
one a trif1e deeper than the other, and
has a wide turned overcollar in Van
Dykes edged with heavy embroidery.
This fichu crosses close to the belt and
running over 1t at its front center fas-
tens against the side seams Of the skirt
far down on the hips, thus forming an
effect not unlike the fronts Of a cutaway
jacket. Another very attractive Madon-
ma fichu is of black chiffon velvet.
Its only trimming is a narrow band of
white or black malines going about the
neck and as far as the bust, where the
wide tabs cross. From there they run
toward the sides of the bodice, and are
hooked against its under arm seams.

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Probably more satisfactory and service
able than a suit is the long coat of the
present season, which can be worn on
many different occasions over thin
dresses. The smartest models are made
quite full across the top. with wide
sleeves cut in one with the body, and
with the skirt width narrowed or caught
in at the feet. Whether the material be
satin, serge or chiffon, they are all cut
on the same lines.
The long coat sketched was designed
primarily for motoring, though there is
no reason in the world why it will not
answer all requirements for street or
evening wear. The material used is navy
blue French serge, cut with kimono
sleeves. which are finished with deep
white ratine cuffs. A broad shawl collar
Of ratine crosses over the bust and ex-
tends down below the waist line.
The turned-back lower corners of the
coat are also faced with white ratine. and
two square ratine tabs set on diagonally
are used for the fastenings in front each
having two long buttonholes worked in
green floss. The buttons can be green
enameled ones or nickel. The same but
toned tab trimming is arranged on the
outside of either cuff.
This design would be a particularly
good one for a reversible coat. II made
of satin, combining white and some color,
it could serve the double purpose OF day
and evening wear. Golden brown satin
on one side and light tan on the other
would look we'll with crystal buttons and
loops embroidered in some contrasting
color.
Many of the silk coats and wraps are
being lined with chiffon. One handsome
model of duh blue has a lining Of ge-
ranium-colored chiffon, which shows on
the lapels and cuffs. and spherical but
tons of white enamel arranged In a close
row along the entire length Of the diago-
nal opening.

THE SHORT JACKET
WILL RULE FASHION

There is no longer any doubt about the
short coat It Is here. You can have
it cut in any shape you will. following
out any line that your figure needs or
suggests You may call 1t Turkish. Rus
sian. Persian, Balkan. as you will. but
it is really a combination of all these
and not true to any type.
Probably the best shape in it has a
cutaway line from the front OF the waist.
When the short coat is made this way
it is nothing more or less than an alb
breviated cutaway on the order of those
we have worn for two years.
There are other shapes that striking1y
resemble the Turkish jacket. With a
straight front, long sleeves and a high
straight collar. it is cut off evenly above
the waist and shows slim blouse or a
full one. as the wearer desires, although
the former Is more fashionable than the
latter. We are evidently going to wear
tight-fitting blouses and bodiceS again,
and the loose easy lines that have pre-
vailed for a half dozen years are in dam
ger Of being wiped out.
But that is another story. The tale OF
today is about the short jacket which
will rule fashion from now until next
autumn. Six months ago Mime. PaQuin
was the leader in the movement for long
coats, and she partly won out through
the early winter months. Those who
had moderate cutaway jackets on hand
were not alarmed when the back of their
coats reached far enough down the figure
to put them within the fashion zone;
those who had very short straight coats
fastened out to buy new ones, but were
careful enough to put the old ones away
until this spring. Their wisdom will be
rewarded, because short coat Is the
one kind Of jacket most needed today,
possibly not in the exact shape Of last
spring, but 1t can easily be cut down.
There is a gulf Of difference fixed be-
tween the full knee length coat that
Paquin has tried to make the public wear,
with its heavy belt that thickened the
waist, and its gathers over the hips. the
widened hip line, and the tiny bolere
which Callot brought out last week.
1t goes without saying that the latter
will win. because it shows the slimness
of the figure. is not awkward. and, bet
ter still. 1t is cool and suitable for our
summer climate. 1t can be made Of linen
Of crepon, Of eponge and crash by the
home dressmaker, and 1t can be worn
by all figures where the hips are not con-
spicuous.
1t Is especially fetching in crepe de
chine, figured or plain and in soft satin.
which. despite all its rivals, still holds q
favored place. Early spring suits will be

Dainty New Handbags.

Suede plays q leading role among the
handbags brought out for early spring.
Many Of them, in square shape, are in
gray, pastel blue and tobacco brown,
mounted on frames of sllver-finished
metal and suspended By cords of silver
tinsel closely braided
Morocco has taken new lease Of life
as far as handbags are concerned, and
some of the newest receptacles Of that
material are inlaid artistically with a
smooth, highly polished leather. They
come in lovely shades of brown, green OF
blue, mounted and edged with gilt, ger
man silver or gun metal.
Some Of them are OF square shape and
others are oblong. but both sorts have an
outside pocket with a slant flap, metal
outlined. strap handle through which
the fingers may be slipped, and all of
them contain round change purses and a
tiny powder puff.
Graphite, pin and real seal as we'll as
pigskin are made into eight-inch envelope
bags Of a very smart order. These have
broad strap handles fastening with a buc-
kle which may be run forward or back
ward to accommodate the size of the
hand, plain slant flap and contain two
compartments. One section is fitted with
a mirror and the tiniest Of manicure sets;
the other is for the card case and the
change purse.

well seasoned. Strain the broth and add
to it cupful Of rice and cupful of any
vegetables on hand = peas. tomatoes,
beans. spinach or carrots. Simmer until
the vegetables are cooked to pieces and
serve with plentiful seasoning.
Herbs used for seasoning soup should
be added only twenty or thirty minutes
before the soup is done, as they lose
much Of their flavor In steam If they are
put in when the soup Is started.
Soup meat and bones should always be
put over the fire in cold water and sim
mered gently until done. The juices are
naturally the most important part of
soup. and boiling water sears the surface
Of the meat and imprisons the juices.
If clear soup is wanted. add cold water
from time to time to keep the soup from
boiling until it has been thoroughly
SKINNED. When the soup is almost done
remove 1t from the fire and add a pint of
it to q cupful Of cold water mixed with
a beaten egg white. Stir constantly as
egg and soup are mixed. Then stir the
mixture into the kettle Of soup and re-
turn to the fire. When the egg rises to
the surface strain the soup and serve.
The egg, which is sticky. collects the
particles whose presence would make the
soup thick and opaque.

restore natural color and beauty

SO easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush

this at night and by morning the

SO Sammy Jay is very fond Of showing off
his fine clothes and making fun of other

of his beautiful coat and admiring him

In little pool of water.
Now, Peter Rabbit isn't the least bit

so little about his clothes that 1t doesn't
trouble him q bit to wear a white patch
on the seat Of his trousers. And Peter
dearly loves to make fun of Sammy Jay.
to find Sammy Jay admiring himself.
Peter had come up through the Green
Forest without making a sound. for with
the snow covering the ground there were
no dead leaves to rustic. AS usual his
long ears were cooked up to catch every
sound. Suddenly Peter stopped. He had
heard Sammy Jays voice, and by the
sound knew that Sammy was talking to
himself: Very. very softly Peter stole
forward and hid where he could see
Sammy Jay I'm big pine tree
I've got the handsomest coat in all
the Green Forest" said Sammy Jay,
stretching one of his wings out and cock
Ing his head to one side to admire 1t.
And where else is such a beautiful tail
to be found?" He spread his tail SO that
a ray of sunshine would fall on it. It
certainly was very beautiful, as blue as
the sky, with a little band of white across
the tip and little bars of black across the
outer sides. Even Peter Rabbit, with his
nose turned up in scorn, had to admit to
himself that it certainly was a handsome
tail.
I'm so glad it's miner sighed Sammy
Jay. '.It must be dreadful not to be
handsome"
Peter Rabbit could keep still no longer.
TITS good thing you admire yourself,
Sammy Jay, because no one else does"
he shouted.
Handsome is as it may do!
Don't forget that, Sammy Jay.
Underneath that coat of blue
Is black heart, Sammy Jay.
Everybody near and far
Knows you for just what you are

Handsome clothes won't hide. a thief.

he opened his mouth to call Peter names

Mixed With Sulphur 1t Makes
Hair Soft, Beautiful.
Cures Dandruff.

The use of Sage and Sulphur
for restoring faded gray hair to
its natural color dates back to
grandmother's time. She kept her
hair beautifully darkened, glossy
and abundant with brew of Sage
Tea and SULPHUR. Whenever her
hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance this
simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But the brewing at home is
mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays
skilled chemists do this better
than ourselves. By asking at any
drug store for the ready-to-use
product-called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy'-you

When Sammy Jay isin't planning mis-
chief, or sticking his bill into the affairs
of other folks with which he has no con-
Germ or trying to frighten some one big
ger than himself, or scare some one small
er than himself, he spend a great deal
of his time admiring his fine clothes and
thinking what a handsome fellow he is.
And he is a handsome fellow. Even
Chatterer the Red Squirrel, who Is al
ways quarreling with him, admits that
Sammy Jay is a handsome fellow. He
carries himself proudly when he thinks
any one Is looking. His shape is very
trim and neat and he Is very smart
fellow indeed. And his coat! Was
there ever such a coat before? 1t seems
as IL Old Mother Nature must have cut
off a little piece Of the sky when it was
buest on a summer day to make Sammy
Jays coat and that she must have taken
a tiny strip from the whitest cloud to
trim it with. And then she gave him a

ECONOMY SOUPS
FROM THE LEFT-OVERS

There is an almost endless number of
soups which can be made economically
Many of them take a good deal Of time
and trouble-but SO does 1t take time to
prepare chicken. mushrooms, eggs. cream
and wine in soup. They are as nourish-
ing, when well made, as those made up
of more expensive ingredients. and If
they are properly seasoned they are as
appetizing.
Vegetable leftover soups should hold
better place in most recipe books than
they do. Almost any vegetable left-overs
can be concocted into some sort Of soup
which is fully as good as one made from
fresh stock and vegetables. For instance.
II there are LEFTOVER tomatoes they can
be added to bones from any sort Of meat,
with q chopped onion, a little parsley and
salt and pepper and s.mmered several
dish of macaroni or spaghetti, with or
without cheese, can be simmered with
chicken or mutton bones for a couple of
hours, the resulting broth pressed
up with little -four. pepper and salt as
PURGE. Mashed potatoes or any other
potatoes add to the quality Of any meat
soup. Peas and beans boiled with a ham
bone or few slices Of bacon, or put
through q sieve and made into a PURGE
with milk, are also good. Spinach, car
rots, left-overs Of lettuce and celery-all
these and every other leftover vegetable
should go into the soup pot.
Carrot soup can be made with meat
stock or with milk. and is a very at
tractive soup because of its bright
color. To make it. slice well cleaned car
rots until you have a cupful. and cook
them in a couple Of tablespoonful OF but
ter for five minutes. Add as much flour
and cook two or three minutes. Then
add a pint of chicken stock and cook
until the carrots are soft. Veal stock
would do as well as chicken. Rub the
soup through sieve, add a cupfui of
milk and season with salt and paprika
If no stock Is available. cook the carrots
in pint of water. drain them, rub them
through sieve and add three cupfuls OF
milk. thicken with a little flour and butter.
Cabbage soup is a combination vege-
table and stock soup. Parboil sound
head OF cabbage and chop 1t In small
pieces. Put 1t over the fire with a couple
Of tablespoonful OF butter. one OF flour,
and after these have cooked q few mo-
ments. a quart Of veal or chicken broth.
Simmer gently until the cabbage Is soft
enough to press through a PURGE sieve,
press it through. add two cupfuls Of milk,
salt and pepper and serve. Leftover
cabbage would do as well as fresh cab
bage for this soup.
Very good soup can be made with the
liquor in which q leg OF lamb IL boiled.
The lamb can be served with caper sauce
