Adulterated Fabrics.
Statistics tell us that women spend at
least 80 per cent of the SsO0.0O00Oo an
nually spent in the United States for
clothing and other textile fabrics. Inc
efficient finds the adulteration of fabrics,
as well as food is a serious subject for
her consideration.
One investigator made an examination
of samples of table linen ranging from
60 cents to 81 per yard. in order 70 get
at percentage of what is called hller,
and found that the cheapest cloth con
tanned clay, gelatin and starch IN an
amount equal to els pounds to every loo
pounds and this is not an unusual per
centage In fact it has been asserted
that it often runs as high as ~ ana Id
per cent. There is not only adulteration
but misla beling and selling one product
such as mercerized cotton. for linen or
IA,
for the enforcement of the label laws IN
regard to food. let her demand obedience
to the fabric being law as well. Eng
land, France. Germany and switzerland
have laws which are drastic in the eX-
IRENE concerning the miSbrandlnS OF
goods, and why should not the American
public demand the same protection?
To quote from an authority. Each
piece of goods which goes out from the
factory to the jobber and retailer to be
offered for sale to the consumer should
bear a label with not only the name ana
address of the maker. but brief state
ment enumerating the presence of any
fibers or substance, either vegetable or
mineral, entering into the manufacture
thereof other than indicated by the name
Of the material.
If we make the manufacturer of n medl-
cine or food print on the label the
presence OF any adulteration. why isn't
it just as reasonable to say to the maker
of Pure Linen you must put on your
label not only the percentage of cotton
it contains. but also what it is weighted
with. and the amount? And to the silk
manufacturer. YOU must sell your fab
ric for what 1t actually is and not mark
everything you put out Pure Silk when
some of It may be mercerlZed cotton. or
all of it more or less weighted. When
will these reforms be brought about"

EARLY FRUITS.

After winter OF plum puddings rich
custards and heavy mince pies. all the
members of the household welcome the
sight and taste of early fruits. In large
cities. strawberries have been in mar
ket for some time, pineapples are plen-
tiful and cheap, and pieplant always
makes tasty dessert after a sweet
salad. Here are a few recipes which
the housewife will welcome:
PIEPLANT PIE.
This should have only the lower crust
of fairly rich pastry. Cover deep pie
dish with crust and fill with the fol-
lowing: Stew the pieplant in as little
water as possible until very tender
Beat the yolks of two eggs. two table
spoons of cornstarch and half cup of
sugar all together. Put this in the pie
plant and let it boil until thick, then
add the juice of one small lemon Fill
the crust with this. Make a meringue
of the whites of the eggs and two ia
blespoons of sugar and brown in me-
dunn oven.
PINEAPPLE TIPSY.
Cut the top from a large. very ripe
pineapple. Also cut sufficient from the
stalk end to make it stand firmly on a
platter. Now remove all, the inside
portion of the pineapple, tearing it
away with fork and leaving nothing
but the hollow case. Remove the hard
pieces of the fruit and cut into small
dice. Put these into a deep dish with
an equal amount of fresh Strawberries
cut In halves. Sprinkle literally with
graduated sugar and cover with
wineglass of sherry. place on the ice
for an hour. occasionally basting the
fruit with the strip which forms. Put
the pineapple case in the ice box. When
ready to serve. add half a cup of nut
meats to the fruit mixtures. flll tho

NOVEL TIES IN NEW FOOTWEAR

It is unauestionably due to the new
dances that milady's foot is so much in
evidence and SO exauisitely covered. This
year offers as no other has many, many
novelties in footwear.
In this array there are many styles.
color combinations and feathers. though
patent leather or patent leather combina-
tons rank first in popularity.
There is the patent leather colonial
with the cut steel or leather-covered
buckle there is the pump of former
years with the grosgrain bow. which
most deservedly is popular again.
Then we find new strap pump in pat
ent leather. finished with cut steel orna-
ments
In the combinations the patent leather
is usually confined to the vamps. though
we see it used for tongues and binding
edges. Celluloid. which resembles patent
leather is used for the heels. The quar-
ters are made of ooze and suede. black or
colored, of brocade. in colors or combi-
nations such as black and gold, and also
of materials to match ones costumes.
Other feathers for this season are

NEW YORK. May 23-There seems
no end to the wearing of blue.
And it is dark blue. too. One would
think that this color was more suitable
for autumn than spring. but fashion
and women are admittedly contrary.
Long sleeves. for instance, are brought
in at the beginning of warm weather.
Even the everyday shirt waists have
sleeves that reach to the wrist. Cloth
gowns and those of taffeta have sleeves
of chiffon or tulle which are set into
short kimono sleeves of the material to
keep women from being too warmly
clothed. 1t is a compromise between
fashion and comfort.
The gown in the sketch shows both
these dominant features of style. There
are the long sleeves in a gown of blue.
The model was not made by Cheruit.

the hips but above the ankles.

fore once in a while brushing is also ad-

of all is to wear the hair becomngly
and this often necessitates an entirely
different style from that which best suit

foreheads are rarely becoming unless the
hair entrances them in soft-curlng

pretty and novel touch was expressed in
the curved pockets at either side of the
short tunic. The vest. too. showed small
er pockets just below the waist.
This suit was carried out in navy blue

Other models similarly fashioned were
seen with edges bound with a narrow
black satin band. and made up in various
shades of tan or in dark plaids.
