FASHION FANCIES SEEN
IN WASHINGTON SHOPS

Have You noticed the tiny. square but
tons which are used for trimming some
OF the newest frocks? These little but
tons are made over little wooden forms
and are less than half an inch square in
some cases A long row of them, covered
with the material of the frock. is very
effective on the skirt OF a deep red
crepe de chine model seen in a local
shop.
One Of the prettiest fashions for the
full-length negiigees is this: There is a
foundation of blue silk. loosely draped
and gathered about the figure. II is quite
plain save for its own soft folds. Over
this is worn a jacket of lace that reaches
to the hips. The edges OF this jacket are
finished with a little lace ruching.
A most practical motoring coat Is worn
by some women who motor a great deal.
II is made of army cloth. and takes the
form of a long cape, with pointed hood
that can be pulled over the head. These
capes do not attempt to conform to any
given silhouette. They are cut as full as
they possibly can be without awkward
ness. so that they can be wrapped warm
ly about the body. OF course, another
coat or sweater should be worn under
such a cape to keep the arms warm.
Chenille is used somewhat lavishly on
the new parasols seen here. One effective
model Is made of dark blue taffeta silk,
with a five-inch border OF light green.
Over this border there is a network of
laced chenille threads In dark blue and
the result is charming.
Plaid designs are surely gaining ground
as the season advances. One of the most
interesting uses of plaid is in a Panama
straw hat, a broad-brimmed model.
turned sharply up the left side. and band
ed about the crown with a rope Of Irish
crochet. square ornament of Irish
crochet holds the turned-up crown in
place.
Suspenders of various sorts are in evil
dence. There will be many skirts this
spring ending in suspenders to wear with
separate blouses. Some of them will be
made of the wonderful new plaid taffetas.
Sometimes the suspenders are wide. and
worn quite at the edge Of the shoulders,
and sometimes they are narrow. Some
times they are fastened to an odd little
waistcoat belt-a belt like the lower part
of a waistcoat including, sometimes, two
dimInutive pockets well toward the front.

Veal stew with Dumplinks.

Have your butcher cut the meat from
a veal shank into small chunks. Brown
them in two tablespoons of good drip
pings, then cover them and the shank
bone with boiling water and let simmer
In a covered kettle for three hours. The
dumplngs arc made in this way: Stir into
one and one-half pints sifted -four one
teaspoon salt CcveD and two large heap
ing teaspoons baking powder. Then stir
in rapidly milk enough to make a batter
about as stiff as that for drop biscuits:
drop from a tablespoon into the boiling
water about the meat, cover tightly and
let boil steadily twenty minutes. Do not
raise the cover during this time. or your
dumplings will be heavy. Dumplings
made in this way without shortening are
very light and toothsome. Arrange the
Gumplings around a large platter. put the
meat in the center and pour some OF the
gravy over it. You will probably have
to thicken this q little. This is an old
family recipe.

Good SugSestion.

When washing and rinsing colored ma
terials add a teaspoonful of EPSON salts
TO each gallon of water. and even the

have been dyed black. can be safely
washed in this way without any risk ot
