In the matter of outing clothes Dame
Fashion is quite as ''fussy' as with the
more conventional garments. One would
never think of playing golf in a peg-top
skirt, unless it were unusually wide at
the bottom and a fluffy bodice would be
quite as much out of place. The MILDLY
blouse is an ideal garment. 1t is an
American idea that has been copied in
Paris end very well liked.
Number S154 is design showing as a
new feature, the raglan sleeve. Linen
or some heavy wash material is usual
but here it is fashioned Of dark blue
serge, collared and cuffed in white.
The plated skirt is also Of serge. For
the school girl a design of this sort
would be attractive and very comfort
able.

THE KITCHEN WALTZ

Is the tango immoral? Is the max
| ike ungraecful? Are the Hesitation
and the Baby Glide undecorous? But
none of these are as harmful as "the
Kitchen Waltz" So says Mrs Chris
tine Frederick, author of THE New
Housekeeping" book which applies
to the running of home the same prin-
are necessary in the downtown Office
Mrs. Frederick writes in the New York
Sun:
While the tango is danced by COM
paratively few OF societys elite the
kitchen waltz is INDUCED in daily by
thousands of women all over the coun-
try who are their own chief cook and
bottle washer.
This is the way it is done. A woman
decides to make an omlet, she goes
gracefully to the left to the ice box,
removes the eggs and fits hastily
twenty feat across the room to tn :
gitchen table. Here, after the proper
pause, during which time she beats the
Eeggs, she advances carefully carrying
| the bowl to the kitchen stove. Anoth-
er pause at the stove and she reverses
! twenty feet back to the pantry to get a
platter makes another trip twenty feet
back to the table, makes another last
slide to the stove That is the kitchen
waltz.
Yes, day after day women take any
number of steps, and go through any
number of steps, and go through any
number of figures and convolutions in
the different tasks they do about the
kitchen-trom stove to table, to pan
try, across to sink and back to the
stove, and so on in an endless series
of figures, trots steps, sides and glides,
which are more complex than any
maxixe we have seen.
"All this movement solely because
the equipment of the kitchen is poorly
arranged"
