When a cook was burned to death
little time back, while engaged in the
exercise of her duties, the jury recon-
r1ended that cooks should wear flreproof
aprons An incident such as this raises
the whole question of suitable outnt
for the woman at work.
Those compelled to wear a uniform
have the advantage over others who are
left to follow their own inclination.
Cooks in private houses are much more
likely to clothe themselves carelessly
than those employed in large organiza-
tons.
The woman who actually handles the
fires or the tins which she takes out of
the oven or puts into it should wear a
defined uniform. Over her dress the
properly equipped cook has a full sized
apron of heavy linen, often hreproofed,
which Is buttoned closely round, allow
ing no loose corners to escape. Over her
bodice there is a bib. which fits exactly,
and is well buttoned down behind. A
large pocket is added, and in this what
is technically known as an oven cloth
Is carried, so that it may be invariably
used.
In private houses cooks often do their
work with no safeguard at all save
iimsy cotton aprons. such as those worn
by housemaids. Heat from a big fire
used for an oven for roasting will easily
set these aflame, or in the case of gas
stove a draught caused by opening the
oven door will bring the cotton apron
into danger.
Heavy linen, which is practically fire.

substance that does not catch fire easily
and that singes even when burning
instead of bursting into flames.
Science has done so much to render
materials fireproof that there seems to
be no excuse for such accidents In these
days as the one alluded to above. The
cook of a generation ago was amply
provided for in this respect; she used
tight-fitt ng apron of thick wooden
by fire. Today many materials are
rendered freproof and give an ample
range Of choice.
To keep your laundry tubs in order

either kerosene or a good cleaning

Black kid gloves have a way of rub
bling white at the tips. This may be
prevented by putting them on when
new and applying a very little vaseline
to each finger-tip. Rub the vaseline
we'll into the kid until all traces of the
grease have disappeared. This ought to
be done before taking the gloves into
regular use.

Fresh Fish at It's Best.

Meat Is undoubtedly going higher in
price. Even II it goes no higher, it has
already gone high enough to mako every
housewife count ats cost So the sugges-
ton to use fish to take the place Of meat
ought to fall on good ground.
By far tho iargeat number OF hocse-
holds In the United States find fresh
water fish cssAe> at hand than saltwater
/; fish. There Is a feeling among those who
know saltwater fish that it far exceeds
its fresh-watee brothers In flavor and
texture. This feeling has been engen-
dered by the fact that 30 often fish is not
well cooked. Even an inch-thick blue
fish can be ruined and made tasteless and
dry by careless and overlong broiling
Always soak fresh fish in a quart OF
water to which a steaspoonful Of salt has
been added-or more salt and water in
proportion. Then rinse 1t well and dry 1t
carefully with q clean cloth.
White wine can be added to boiling fish
to give 1t flavor. Lay the fish on q rack
or wire frame IN a Ash kettle and cover
It barely with water. Then add claret
glassful Of white wine.
Lemon Juice also can be used to give
flavor to fish. Add two tablespoonfuls of
the lemon juice or the same amount of
vinegar to the boiling fish.
The best way to cook fresh-water fish
is to boil gently for twenty minutes
enough water to cover the fish, to which
have been added lemon Juice. vinegar or
white wine and sliced onion, a sliced
carrot or an onion stuck with whole
cloves. Then pour this seasoned water
over the fish and boil gently until tender.
well made sauce adds much to the
service Of any boiled fish. Hollandaise
sacce. drawn butter sauce, cream sauce
or caper sauce are all good with fsl
When you are going to broil fish rub It
With olive OIL or else stand It in a plato
of olive oil, turning 1t frequently for an
hour before cooking.

NEW COLLAR DESIGNS FROM PARIS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special CORRESPONDENCE of The Star.
PARIS. August 25.-The very newest
collar does not dip down in front
but Is of equal height all around. 1t
is fastened into a rounded neck line.
and is usually of organdy. On some
satin frocks it is of gold or silver lace.
This is a becoming collar, and for that
reason it will be worn. 1t is difficult now
to believe that women would accept un-
becoming neckwear. They have accepted
it in the past, but this experience with
becoming and comfortable neckwear that
we have all had may have taught us to
rebel at strangling our necks at word
from fashion.
The V-shaped neck is doubtless going
out of fashion. 1t will remain in evil
dence in America for some time, perhaps,
because American women like it, and find
it becoming Therefore, they are loath to
give it up.
But the square and round necks are
much newer and have been utilized by
all the dressmakers here Premet, 1t IS
true. showed evening gowns with the
bodices cut to points on the shoulders.
and fastened there with jewel. But
many of the new frocks are made with
a square decolletage, partly outlined by
the jeweled straps that hold it over the
shoulders.

The Neck Line in Coats.

The smart neck line in the new coats
is high one. The closing at the left side
is very smart. The right side of the frock
or coat is carried over the left side, to
fasten there in straight line from the
shoulder to hip. Cheruit exploits this
line. and it is very good. This closing.
of course, gives a high neck line, which
is finished either with a rolling or fiat
rundown collar.
