NEW ACCESSORIES
FOR WRITING TABLE

Quill pens are a fancy adopted by
many fastfdious letter writer's. The
feather is dyed in brilliant tints-bright
due. green. red and yellow, sometimes
lavender and pink. The quill is often
made Of metal; sometimes it Is the nat
ural quill. The pen is inserted in the
same way that 1t Is inserted In the or
binary penholder.
In the summer especially. when we are
moving about much of the time. some
sort OF portable writing case is almost
essential to comfort. The basket cases
are denghtful Tor warm weather wear
some or them are made with leather
SIDES and cover, some with leather cover
only: Iney are usually lined with leath-
er, and sometimes have a removable
blotter and a leather
holder for pen and ink bottle.
The small sealing sets sold in the shops
are fascinating enough to tempt any
woman to try her hand at making seals
In the most interesting of these sets the
WAX is formed into small tablets. which
are melted in little dipper-like recep-
tacie over spirit lamp. The hot wax
Is then poured on the envelope and the
seal Is pressed into it.
Upright clips are far safer than spikes
for the writing table. and they are sold
IN various sizes. in nickel and brass
ihey are opened by pressure at the base
and they clamp the papers put between
their sides firmly.
A novel paper weight is at the same
time flower holder. 1t is a heavy glass
weight with little well big enough to
hold Just one rose. and 1t performs its
duty of holding down papers as we'll as
1t keeps the flower fresh.

FOREIGN FASHIONS
FOR AMERICANS

| PARIS. May 3o-Not even in the old
days before silks and satins came in to
vie with printed muslins for summer wear
were so many interesting things done
with wash materials as there are this
! season. There seems to be no limit to
the flights of the dressmaker's fancy, for
cottons. silks and chiffons are mingled
with apparent recklessness.

SO thoroughly practical and effective that
1t is easy to understand the vogue they
I nave attained. Like all other washable

broidery or in a satin ceinture or little
vest

marqu1sette into a charmingly soft de-
sign. suitable for an afternoon or even
Tor summer evening gown. It's only
trimming is some eyelet embroidery
worked in shell pink on the blouse fronts
and the corners of the tunic.
The blouse is cut with elbow-length XII
mono sleeves. under which white net ex-
tensions are worn, and the V-neck has
finishing ruff1e Of the net. Except for
the crossed-over embroidered fronts the
blouse is quite plain and is bloused all
round with even gathers under a covered
cord belt. below which. just at either side
OF the front. little pointed vest tabs carry
out the sloping line of the blouse closing.
The tunic is gathered across the back
and hangs in a square embroidered end
over either hip, and from there runs sharp
ly down to long point in back to the
floor. where large white soutache tassel
drags after.
The long upper 1ounce and the short
under one are both attached to white
net foundation skirt. which, at the bot

Strawberries at Their Best.

The best-tasting strawberries are usu-
son. for then they are ripest and mel
lowest The first half green harbingers
of summer for which we pay fabulous
price and serve sparingly are usually not
worth the thought we gave them, but
now when they are almost too juicy and
too mellow to pick they are at their best.
In England. where Strawberries are at
their best, the favorite way Of eating
them is simply with sugar and cream.
and it is said that Cardinal Wolsey. the
famous prime minister of Henry VIII,
was the one who first made Strawberries
and cream fashionable. 1t is a vogue
that has never passed, and now in Eng
land all through the strawberry season
there is nothing that is offered as more
tempting adjunct to afternoon tea than a
dainty dish of strawberries and cream.
Strawberry syllabub.
But there are other ways Of serving
Strawberries and one of the most popu-
lar in our southern states is strawberry
syllabub. This calls for two cups OF
cream, one cup Of graduated sugar and
one and half cups Of strawberry juice
one-quarter cup Of lemon juice and the
whites Of two eggs. First mix the sugar
and the juice Of the Strawberries. Now
beat the egg whites stiff and add them
to the beaten cream. Mix in the fruit and
the sugar, and serve In syllabub glasses
garnished with single strawberry on
each glass.
Strawberry Surprise.
To make a delightful strawberry des-
sert you will need a mold Of strawberry
jelly Add to it a tablespoonful OF
chopped almonds and a tablesp oonful OF
sherry. Turn 1t on a dessert dish and
garnish with whipped cream and sliced
marshmallows.
Strawberries With Mullins.
A delightful dessert may be combined
with Strawberries and mullins. Make a
batch of mullins of the following in
gradients: Four eggs, two cups OF
milk. two cups Of flour and a quarter
of teaspoonful of salt. Beat up the
yolks Of the eggs very light and add the
milk and flour gradually. beating con-
stantly. Add the stiff1y beaten whites
Pour the mixture into well buttered
half an hour. They should puff up in
the baking so that the insides are hol-
low. Turn them out of the tins and
open up with sharp knife Have ready
a quart sprinkled with sugar. Fill the in
sides of the mullins with the strawberries,
close the mullins and serve with a sprfnk-
ling of sugar on top. Serve with cream to
be poured over the mullins.

the solution of the present difficulty in

the solution of the present difficulty in
walking.
You know the type Of ready-made
tunic suits that we have bought all
spring for a price around $50. with the
excessively narrow skirt beneath and the
pleated overskirt above. And if you have
tried one of those. you are quite aware
that you cannot safely walk in 1t and You
surely cannot dance in it.
So the clever woman. has removed both
difficulties by lifting half of the lower
skirt and substituting accordion pleating
This kind of pleating Is easily secured
at the shops. at price not prohibitive,
and 1t can be attached at home in
twinkling to the edge of the lower skirt.
The straight line is not broken, but the
feet are given more freedom than they
have had for two years. And just here
is the important point. The reign of the
combining skirt is nearing its end. OF
that fact there Is little doubt in the
minds of those who stand in the watch
towers. There is no suggestion mind
you, of flare at the hem. We have
not gone that far toward the styles OF
decade ago. but there Is the compromise
of the pleating. the only compromise that
could be found between tightness and
godet seams.

Again the Short Skirt.

No kind of alteration is as difficult as
it was. for the reason that there are SO
many styles in the running and skirts
are so short. When skirts were long and
narrow. they were not easily handled. for
they would draw at one place or the
other. but in the new length, which is
the old length. they swing away from
the hips to the shoe tops with a good
deal of grace which can be accomplished
at home.
1t is the acceptance of this style that
makes many old skirts serve for several
weeks longer, the hem can be removed,
or the waist line can be lifted until the
skirt touches the ankles. or a line above.
If the skirt is for sports, or even for
country wear. 1t is quite permissible to
cut it of at the shoe top line.

called a balayeuse. then dust ruff1e.
Then 1t was placed just beneath the
skirt to keep 1t clean and the shops sold
it by the yard or piece. They now ar
range the new kind Of pleating in the
same way.
Because of this fashion many women
may find a way to make other skirts
available for summer wear If there is

last winter, and a tight and uncomfort-
able lower skirt. of heavier material
than one wants to wear now, why not
remove it and substitute a deep pleating

between the short tunic and the ankles.
All one requires is a petticoat or lining
that will keep the silk from being trans
