All manner Of dainty c0nceits in smart

costume, they either match 1t in color or
else white ones are worn. It is seldom, if

heavy cream-colored lace that encircles

WHOLESOME FOODS
AT A SMALL COST
BY j. A. HUsIK, MD.

Ever since the human diet has been
studied in scientific manner the prin-
ciple has become established that the
average human being requires for his
daily consumption four ounces Of pro-
tein matter. This protein matter, as
it is called. is the chief nutritive prin-
ciple Of all foods derived from animal
sources. Thus, for instance, the meats
of the different animals supply protein
material. Fish. eggs. cheese and milk
rank among the most important sources
of this nutritive principle SO essential
to the maintenance Of sound physical
constitution.
The vegetables, as a rule, have very
little protein. But there are some ex-
ceptions. The dried bean, for example
contains as much protein material as
some of the meats The cereals are
very rich in this foodstuff. oatmeal hay-
ing as much as 16 per cent. Bread and
nuts are also among the foods Well sup
piled with protein matter. 1t is for this
reason that the cereals and the legumeS
such as peas and beans, are of great
value as side dishes to meat They sup
ply part of the protein in the form OF
vegetable instead of animal meat at a
much lower cost. Not only do these vege-
of the meat, but by virtue of the starches
contained in them they also serve to
give wholesome mixed diet.
Meat of the average quality contains
about 20 per cent of proteins and L. pei
cent of fat. The rest is water and other
materials. Meat. therefore, is highly
concentrated food There is a great deal
of nutrtive material i'm small bulk. To
supply the same quantity through vege-
tables, the bulk of the food would be-
come so large and the indigestible yege-
table fiber; SO excessive as to embarrass
the powers Of digestion.
Meat. then, is real need in the orili-
nary mans diet. One-half pound OF
meat daily will supply about two ounces
of protein matter. or about one-half OF
the daily requirement. The other hall
bread, cereals and vegetables. Through
such moderate use OF meat this whole
some and highly nutritious foodstuff could
be had at comparatively little cost.

FACTS CONCERNING
CANDLES AND LAMPS

The art of caring for kerosene lamps
is almost lost. although there are still
some persons who think no light equals
that of oil for reading in the evening.
One of the daily duties in every house
hold used to be the care of the lamps.
Shades were washed or busted, Chin
neys were washed and, polished, which
were trimmed and renewed. oil wells
were filled and at stated intervals wicks,
oil wells and the metal wick holder were
boiled in soda and water.
There is often difficulty in keeping the
chimneys of the small princess lamps
occasionally used in bedroom or sitting
room from breaking. Some persons find
and letting the water come to the boiling
point strengthens the chimneys.
Perhaps some time oil lamps will re-
gain popularity, just as candles have
regained it. In the meantime candles
require a good deal of attention If they
are to be prettily shaded and properly
cared for. The fad for unshaded candles
has made it more necessary than ever
to see to it that the candles used are
straight. firm and of clear color. White
candles are in better taste than colored
10 make them harmonic with the color
of the room where they burn. Red
candles at Christmas are sometimes
pretty and colored candles on birthday
cake seem to be more festive than white
ones; but for ordinary use white ones are
better.
1t is said that If candles are put on
the ice before they are lighted they will
not drip A few hours in the icebox in
warm weather helps candles to get
through a hot evening without melting
and tipping out of their sockets.
When candle shades are used 1t is much
more important to see that they are Of q
good color than to trouble about their
shade or texture. The color should be
warm and restful. Rose color, yellow,
yellow green and red all give pleasant
light

The Chiffon Corset Cover.

After women were Injured to the idea
that a transparent blouse called for a
thin and fancy corset cover they begar
to look about to see what fabric could
be used to the best advantage. They
1t gave too definite an impression of what

1t was in this search that some one
stumbled on flesh pink chiffon cloth as an
admirable fabric, which is almost as cob
webby as chiffon itself. but has better
wearing qualities, for it is woven out of
stronger thread.
When it was made up in simple man.
ner it had no character. 1t did not really
conceal the white chemise beneath and it
did not give any definite color to the
blouse above. Flowered ribbon was used
in small bows or as band run through
long buttonlloles that were placed around
the figure, but this idea proved too color
full and did not look especially we'll under
all kinds of blouses
Then came the inrush of those fancy
little roses that the great masses Of WOm-
en- do not yet know how to use and
which the majority think belong only to
picture frames and bureau ornaments;
but they were found speedily satisfactory
as an ornament to this pink chiffon COR
set cover and at present this is the ac-
cepted idea.
This underblouse is made from two
thicknesses of material in order that IL
may not be too transparent, for We must
draw the line somewhere. and it is gath
cred into a scanty frill of thin white lace
Over the shoulders go half-inch straps OF

terial in festoon across the front and
back which is caught UP with rosettes OF
tiny roses. These little flowers show with
severe brilliancy through the blouse OF

The silkworms must have had busy
season. Every gown will be of SILK Is an
offnand comment caused by the spring
openings.
If the fabric is not called silk out
right the word Is used as an adjective,
as silk maletasse, silk crepe and crepon!
Go into any kind of shop these days
and ask for a street costume, and even
beg for serge and homespun Il but silk
will be urged upon you so insistently
that ten to one you will end by having It.
There is no escape from it. Whatever
pieces Of apparel woman wears, into
that is put silk. Once upon a time we
thought that muslin was the proper ma
terial to wear next the skin--no one knew
why, but it had always been done. Today,
when every tradition is either challenged
or swept away by the army of ''uplifts"
that have taken the place OF 'isms, we
wear silk next our skins.
Why not? 1t washes. 1t doesn't shrink,
it does not wrinkle or bulge in the wrong
places and it outwears muslin
Suits Are Of Silk.
There are still few women who val
iantly contend that silk and satin are not
proper and fitting fabrics for the streets.
They should be kept for the house, for
the hundred hours that one enjoys under
the roof-yours or others.
They want suits of thin cloth, and they
can have them. No one will say them
nay, but any seller Of clothes will look
upon them ruefully. They will class
them among the ''hithertos," as Inez
Milholland cleverly phrases It, For it's
Observation-Disclosures makes the mills go
round today.
Possibly faille is the most fashionable
choice in silks for a suit This weave
is what we once called bengaline, with
the cord not quite SO heavy. 1t comes
in all desirable shades and the woman
who rightfully chooses a dark tone for
the streets in spring will find many shades
