FRENCH PASTRIES IN DEMAND
First Served by Fashionable Hotels,
They Have Been Taken Up by
Hostesses Who Are Up to Date.

The increase in the number of good
patisserie shops where really delicious
French pastries can be purchased
probably accounts for the serving of
French pastries for dessert at the
home table just as they have been
served for years In the big hotels and
restaurants. There a special boy goes
about with huge silver platter filled
with concoctions that make the mouth
water and the purse strings open.
When the diner or luncher chooses the
sort he desires the boy deity removes
it with a wide bladed silver knife.
Nowadays the home hostess has the
maid pass French pastries at luncheon
and dinner. They are passed on a big
platter and naturally each guest
chooses the particular sort which ap-
peals to him.
Many of them are simply boat
shaped shells Of pun paste filed with
fruit of some sort. Grapes, covered
with rich syrup, are sometimes used
for filling; and strawberries. luscious
and ripe, combined with syrup can
also be used. Some of the pastries are
made in layers Of puff paste with an
appetizing and delicate cream or al
mond paste or fruit filling between.
These interesting pastries really
help to solve one of the housewives
many worries. for they constitute a
dessert which Is easily procured and
which is u welcome relief from ices
and creams and the more usual sweets
served.-New York Times.

TAKE UP THREE-PIEcE SUITS
In the Same Material or In combIna-
ton Of Two Silks They Are
Equally Popular.

According to a statement made by
the Dry Goods Economist, the vogue
for garments of the dressier type is
no doubt responsible for the interest
recently shown In three-piece suits.
Up to the present time the majority
of these three-piece suits have been
made up in silks or high-class novelty
worsteds.
Silks have been particularly good
and many smart three-piece suits of
MORE, faille, poplin. charmeuse and
brocade are now being shown, as well
as a combination of two silks, such
as MORE and faille, brocade and failie,
etc.
Although some three-piece suits
have been brought out to retail at a
moderate price, very little attention
has been given to cheaper grades.
This is because houses that are able
to turn out good popular-priced
tailored suit seldom have an or
ganization that is capable of making
an equally attractive dress and vice
versa.
