THE new NEATNEsS.

There was time when neatness was
q tangible thing. If q woman wore q
frock that fitted well. kept her belt in
absolute place. had shoe buttons al
ways secure, kept her shoes polished
and up at the heels and saw to 1t that
her collar was properly fastened, she
was neat.
Perhaps in those days the collar was
the most troublesome thing. When it
was a high. starched linen collar that
fastened in front, there was the tie to
worry about. and there was the collar
band, which was often too big for the
collar. to worry about, too. When the
collar was high, buckrann<lined thing.
there was the little muslin turnover
that must always be clean. always
basted in place. When it WAS the tight
fitting. choking lace collar. with little
wire spikes to hold 1t in place. there
were these same little spikes to worry
about The lace quickly becaIhe soil
Cd over them and they had a Distress
ing tendency to work their way through
the lace and into the neck. .
But after all, neatness in those days
could be accomplished with patience.
ana it was definite state. Today
what is 1t? Our collars in their-very
theory are not neat. Charming. of
course. and becoming. but one could
hardly call slip of muslin wired to

And as for the one-time neat belt,
That doesn't exist now. We hear
from time to time that. the trim waist
is coming in again. But ON we go,
cherishing first a blouse that bags
most unneatly over a girdle-swathed
waist: then welcoming a wrinkled
basque that Is anything but neat and
nnaily countenancing waistless
bodice with a sash tied nonchantly at
the nips
Perhaps one reason why the mode Of

is still so capable Of variety in one
way or another that it seldom becomes
monotonous, and IS accepted as one of
the prettiest styles in vogue.
Here is an afternoon frock that
should be stunning in plain black and
white. The blouse and tunics may be
of white cloth of crepe. and the girdle
and underskirt Of black tafteta or
satin. The embroidery, padded and
worked In dull floss. Is applied above
the long tunic hem and to the straight
band that forms short kimono
sleeve.
The blouse is worn over white net
long sleeve guimpe. and has a collar
of itself turned back along the open
front edges. The girdle is caught up
in point at the front, and after
bow over the left hip.
The first tunic is cut to form long
points over either hip and trimmed
with close line Of self-covered but
tons. The line is continued along the
under arm seam of the blouse In
front the top tunic is left open across
the four or five inch space and the
edges turned under to hang in smaller
points below the hem
The long tunic is quite straight and
plain. being gathered slightly all
about the waist
Since embroidery of this sort is al
ways of the simplest designing and
very coarsely worked. it might be
found possible to do it at home, but
there are any number of places that
do such work. or, in many cases, 1t
is done on net that can be cut away
and appliqued.

Special Correspondence Of The Star
PARIS, August 1s.-Some one here
with a knack for figuring has reasoned
that about two-thirds of the new hats
are tooues, and one-third are large
hats.
So you have it entirely within your
own power to choose whether you shall
be one Of the majority or one Of the
minority. The only thing to influence
your choice ought to be the type Of face
you have. If large hats are more be-
coming than small ones. be with the
that.
Incidentally. be 1t said that predic-
ton has It that by midwinter there
will be many more large hats than
small ones.

Before frying the breakfast bacon, cut
off the rind and dip in flour; then fry or
grill quickly. This prevents the fat from
running and gives the bacon better
flavor.
When boiling clothes place an unpeeled
lemon cut in slices in the boiler with the
clothes to boil. This will remove all
stains and make the clothes beautifully
white.
A good way to cook green peas is to
add a lettuce leaf and a tablespoonful OF
sugar when putting on to boil. They
will retain their color and have a much
better flavor.

NUMBER OF USES
FOR GREEN PEPPER

There is apparently no end to the
ways in which the resourceful cook can
use green peppers. Any number Of
changes. for instance, may be rung on
the familiar and appetizing dish Of stuffed
peppers through the use of left-overs in
the shape of cold meats, bread crumbs
rice and chicken. Peppers may also be
chopped or put through the meat grinder
and added to hashes Of various kinds.
used as a case or shell to hold salads
or cut in rings to garnish them, to say
nothing of the important part they play
in chopped pickles. relishes and the ia
vorite Creole sauces served with many
rice and egg dishes.
For stufing, peppers of as nearly uni
form size as possible should be Sc
lected. Cut a slice from the stem end
of each, take out all seeds and white
water for about five minutes. If the
peppers are not of the sweet variety, a
little longer stay in the hot water will
take out some Of the burn" besides
loosening the skin. An old way of
getting rid of the skin was to drop the
peppers in hot fat or oil for few
minutes and then rub them briskly with
a coarse cloth, but this is a little more
trouble and much warmer work than
most women who do their own cooking
A mixture Of boiled ham or corned
beef and bread crumbs, seasoned with
onion juice and salt, and bound with
raw egg, makes one of the best liked
and most digestible filings, but few
experiments will show that zest can be
added to almost any of the usual odds
and ends found in the icebox-even unto
cold creamed potatoes-by warming over
in peppers.

matoes, season, and let simmer down to

A small quantity Of chopped onion or a
few drops Of onion juice is sometimes
added, but this is optional. If fresh
ed and peeled, will furnish about the
right proportion.
Sliced peppers. tomatoes and onions
can be arranged ON white lettuce leaves
and eaten with French dressing. or the
scooped-out peppers may be filled with
potato salad a mixture Of chopped beets
and .hard-boiled eggs marinated with
French dressing. or with canned salmon.

SCHOOL LUNCH BASKET.

What to put in the school lunch pas
ket 1s the all-absorbing propiem OF
mothers, now that school days are ap-
preaching. After three months or homo
luncheons it is difficult to reconcile q
small boy or girl to basket meal OF
necessarily limited variety OF edlplec.
Most children dislike to be burdened
with a lunch basket which must be car
ried home every day. and the wise
housewife has a collection of empty
pasteboard boxes for this purpose,
cracker packages being most useful. An
assortment Of wrapping paper, plenty OF
string. pile Of paper napkins and some
parafiin paper will simplify the TASK
Of packing the lunch each morning.
Careful mothers will not give children
pennies and nickels with which to pur-
their selection of sweets Is seldom in
accordance with the laws Of digestion
such fruits as bananas, oranges ana
apples are easily packed. and are bet
ter for school child than rich cake
and pie. Occasionally, hard-boiled or
deviled eggs. accompanied by plain
bread and butter. may be substituted 1or
cold meat sandwiches. Little jars OF
put into the lunch basket and some
times pickles and olives vary the mid
day school meal. Once In while. cheese
with crackers helps to fill the basket,

cacy in the school lunch circle.
A modified club sandwich. and one
which comprises almost a meal in 1T
self. is made of two slices of bread
buttered. and lettuce, a small piece, Of
bacon. a piece Of cold chicken or other
fowl, slice of pickle and a little mayon-
naise dressing constitute the filling.

Huge gold and silver roses and bands
Of gold and silver ribbon are used. and
often a strand of narrow gold or silver
ribbon or cord is wound In and out
among the flowers that band the crown
of a small velvet toQue, or around the
stem of an ostrich feather. the f1ues
being pushed aside here and there to
make room for it.
Then there are kid and leather flowers
and shiny leather foliage used with silk
and velvet f1owers-black leather foil
age. This fad for black foliage hats
also brought about the use of black
velvet foliage with colored flowers.
Ribbon Is used in the form of big
bows on some of the velvet hats, and
shaded ribbon of a contrasting color
Is very effective-shaded blue ribbon
on black hat. for instance, or shaded
rose on gray velvet hat.
All Sorts Of Feather Fancies.
Feather fancies Of all sorts are used,
and one is a band Of coque fastened

black velvet sailor. the coque feathers
