effect and absolutely up to the last
word in style.
Some of the prettiest of evening
frocks for young girls are made IN
charmeuse of various delicate shades,
and also in white and black.
A charming one in shell pink shows
over a charmeuse skirt long tunic OF

pie little chiffon corsage is also caught
in front with pearls. and no more
dainty frock can be imagined.
Are you in search of delightful sea-

lined with white net, and the bodice is

from taffeta and crepe de chine to
linens and cottons. One of it's great ad-
vantages is that it can be worn over
u blouse chosen to suit the occasion
and the weather.
A charming and extremely useful de-
sign is of raiah tunic, set plain at front
and back and killed at the sides. which
are shaped to a point. The bodice and
ceinture are exactly the same in front
as at the back fastening at the left
with buttons and worn over a blouse Of
embroidered muslin with square turn

Care Of Vegetables.

There is a very definite knack in the
care of summer vegetables and fruits.
In the days when the trip from the gar
den to the kitchen was accomplished in
a few moments there was no time for
deterioration but We realize that foods
such as vegetables and fruits arrive in a
critical state of health and should be
cared for most zealously.
Just as soon as possible after the ad-
vent of the grocer's boy or the express
man Of We have attained to that degree
of wisdom which dictates hampers
straight from the farmD the vegetables
and fruits should be put away into a cool
place, which means the ice box in all city
homes Lettuce may be separated.
washed. wrapped in oiled paper and laid
close to the ice. This insures cold.
crisp, delicious salad.
Vegetables should never be soaked in
salt water for freshening purposes, for
the salt acts directly upon the vegetable
minerals. drawing them out and leaving a
wilted. savorless vegetable as a result.
Cucumbers, as an example, when fresh
are. crisp and perfectly digestible, but by
soaking in salt water they attain the
general resistability of automobile tires
and cannot be said to be perfect
food for weak Stomachs.'
The rooty plants. such as beets. turnips
and carrots. are good when very young;
the old ones grow tough and heavy In
wood fiber and are not fit for summer
foods. Green corn spoils quickly and
should be cooked while very fresh, espe-
cially after the protective husk IS re-
moved. Corn sOurs in few hours, and
it cannot be freshened by soaking it in
cold water, as some housewives seem to
imagine. for when the corn loses its
sweetness it is because change in the
sugar constituent has caused fermenta-
ton in the grain, and from that instant
corn Is a useless vegetable.
Strawberries are often ruined by being
hulled and allowed TO stand in water or
by being held under a stream of running
water. The water soaks into the berry
through the unprotected end and the
fruit loses its rich flavor. Strawberries
should be poured on a large platter and
put into the ice box. When ready to
prepare put them into a bowl of cold
water and lift up and down until all the
sand. etc. is washed off. then hull, cut
off the bruised spots and serve. All ber-
ries should be poured on to a platter sc
that they may have circulation of. air
the close packing in boxes causes crush
ing and results in more rapid decay.
A good way to keep the juice in any
fruit which has been cut and some part
remains. such as grape fruit. orange or
lemon. is to cover the exposed end with a
piece of oiled paper and lay cut side dowr
on a dish. Watermelon may also be KEEP,
in this way if part of the melon Is left
after the meal. Slices of lemon, unused
after the ) o'clock tea. may be kept from
drying by turning a cup or glass over
them. The object in all this is readily

Summer Hats and Suits.

correspondent Mrs. Vincent Astor is
one of the women who has adopted it..
She wears one of pale blue erin with
pink roses, and another of white leg
horn with blue tulle and one pink rose.
In her gowns and suits Mrs. Astor
shows rare good taste, never wearing
anything outlandlishly novel. She is
fond of white serge for her summer
wear and has several coat suits of this
material.

1arins collars and vests of pique. The
first model sketched illustrates the point.
Here white voile. with copenhagen blue
stripes in pencil-line clusters form the
sleeves and body of the blouse. while
finely twilled white pique is used for the
interesting vest front. outstanding collar
and the cuffs. Two small pointed ends
of the vest extend below the girdle, and
small white enameled ball buttons are set
along the front with corresponding but
tonholes. The sleeves are long and set in
dropped shoulders. The voile has free
point left above the belt at either side of
the front, and the corner is then tackled
back against the bust.
The second model is made of fine
thin French crepe or crepe de chine, and
shows very broad rolling collar sur
pliced over the bust and an odd and in
teresting trimming of rose-coiored or blue
grossrain braid and white ball buttons.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS. July 1T--Georgette is credited
with the introduction of the new Merry
Widow hat She would probably dis
claim the name with a goodly show Of
contempt. but she would probably claim
the hat.
Early in the spring she brought out an
italian plateau hat which did not have
much success. 1t was very attractive
over certain faces. and its successor in
miniature size, which is called the Louis
XIV hat. was far too successful for the
exclusive woman.
Georgette launched this black velvet
hat In June. 1t was worn at the Grand
Prix by many women who feature inno-
vations. During the month of July the
popularity of the hat has increased until
the fashionable world, and those who are
here to regard it. has begun to consider
it seriously as the millinery feature for
fall.
So far the hat has no trimming except
an upright feather of burnt ostrich.
Those who do not care for this sarni-
ture merely apply broad crown band
of black grosgrain ribbon finished in a
fat pump bow at the side.

Nobody considered a colored velvet hat;
black was the somber tone chosen by the

of people considered a straw hat in June
as q leftover from March. Strange twist

When a famous French beauty Mile

out Of the picture because all her friends
wore the new thing in straw hats trim

All her followers are now using fabric
