Most of the small shapes have the mar

Testing Canned Foods.

The Department OF Agriculture is the
best and most reliable friend of the eff
ficient housewife in her effort to make
her housekeeping scientific and progress
slVe Recently very valuable information
was given relating to simple home tests

OF canned fruits. vegetables, etc
Canned food is an absolute necessity
with the majority of people during the
winter months. and the housewife often
feels both puzzled and helpless before
the problem of making sure that the food
sne gets out of a can is perfectly whole
some and unadulterated. We believe that
the danger OF these things Is growing less
every year The spread of education. the
increasing vigilance and the demands of
the awakened housewife are creating a
response from the trade.
The Gamer who uses inferior qualities.

ing that the product of his neighbor who
believes it good business to be honest is
being called for. while his goods remain
on the shelves. But the efficient house,

as the improvement in business ethics.
so here are a few helps:

the inside of a can before throwing 1t

All acid fruits and vegetables should

FOREIGN FASHIONS

PARIS, May 17.-Another Of fashion
caprices may be seen in the exaggeration
Of the little hat, which seems to become
smaller every day. while the toilettes have
the opposite tendency to augment their
width. Several seasons past, when the
sheath skirts were in vogue, we wore
those huge Merry Widow hats and the
effect gave rise to the comparison be-
tween women and an open umbrella Now,
1t appears that we are in a period of
transition. for the skirts are growing
fuller and the hats smaller. and I sup

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
NEW YORK, May 26.-That the new
tunic has come to stay is the conclusion
of those who study fashions
1t may be heightened into a skirt. as
some predict, but it will not be shortened
into pannier In its present condition its
grace is debatable. 1t makes some figures
appear at their worst; there are others
that take to it kindly. Its chiefest diff
Guilty lies in its fullness at the waist line
which is held in by deep pleatS or gath
ers. but escapes above the hips and thick
ems the figure from waist to knees.
OF all the fashions that have been given
to us to consider during the last three
years-a revolutionary age in woman s
apparel-there has been none SO difficult
TO handle as this Cheruit tunic.
One thought the pannier drapery over
the hips was bad enough for any woman
but the slim and youthful, yet even it was
close fitting at the waist and hip line,
which this is not.
There is another difficulty, secondary
in Importance, which the long tunic pre-
sents. II shortens the line from waist to
ankle in an ugly fashion. That the tunlc
is smart even with these disadvantages
no one denies, but its smartness must be
moderated to suit each figure that wears
1t. Otherwise 1t is an error of the first
magnitude.
of the experts make the mistake Of wear
ing the wrong tunic. A woman here who
is depended upon for her taste in dress
appeared in a tunic Of black taffeta box
pleated at the waist line, f1aring nearly to
ankles, and showing a pantaloon skirt be-
meath of black satin.
She was really grotesque in the gar
ment. 1t made her look ten inches short
er and a half yard wider. Her hips were
too large to stand the box-pleats and her
legs were too short to have the line cut
There Are Apron Tunics.
The sketch shows the kind of tunic
that goes by the name of apron. 1t was
produced by Cheruit last August. but
gained little headway IN popular fashions.
Here and there some woman always wore
one. but every other kind of tunic went
more rapidly toward success.
The material of the tunic matches the
material used for the tiny bolero jacket
which might be called pair of sleeves
reaching over the shoulders and extend
ing into a collar. These are of dark blue
crepe de chine. and the rest of the gown
Is Of plaid taffeta. And the silk is in
dark blue and black with squares of dull
yellow, which is one of the most popu-
lar taffetas of the day.
The bodice is made very much on the
style of the jersey waist of Lily Langtry' s
heyday. The skirt has three ruffies edged
with bias folds This trick in trimming
by the way, is a return to an old fash
ion that we find on the rustling taffeta
gowns of 1860.
1t may not be necessary to dwell largely

Wall Paper Notes.

and rich but soft tones abound In the
wall papers that have cut-out borders
and binders with semi-plain side walls.
Verdure tapestry effects are seen
among the allover patterns. Some in
gray, with a suggestion of gold thread,
are especially pleasing. while those in
darker shades are rich and quiet in tone.
The papers in gross-cloth effect show a
weave sufficiently bold to be effective in
rooms of average size. and have the
slight luster characteristic of gross
cloth They run range of very attrac-
tive colors.
The figures Of characters from the
Mother Goose fables, quantity drawn and
colored and most decorative, are in a
nursery cut-out paper. These are intend
ed to be cut out and applied to a plain
side-wall paper.
A wall paper which may be especially
mentioned, has border showing yellow
roses with bronze color leaves and pale
green ribbons and bowknots. This has
an embossed yellow side-wall paper in
satin stripe effect or spray and but
terfy design of Japanese feeling on a
