Statuesque Type Admired.

The so-called statuesque is a recog-

be considered in designing clothes for
the American woman. The Juno type
is a magnificent creature when proper
ly gowned. and the clothes problem
for her is not an inso1uble one. either.
Indeed. in most seasons it is the
simplest of ali. But the petite, the
quaint, the dainty is not for her. and
it seemed at first as if 1915 had moth
ing else to offer her.
This is the type to which the con-
servative house OF Worth has always
catered. but the other French design
ers. with the exception of Callot,
seemed to be temporarily led away by
perhaps natural enough that, in the
face of the present plethora of hor-

age of innocence for clothes inspira

alizing that the American market is
their best chance just now. and that
there is certain large percentage of
American women whose type prevents
their indulging in artlessness of gown
ing. For these women gowns must be
"designed.' and so we see models like
the illustration in scheme. coming over
in larger and larger numbers on the
steamers. The princess is rumored

This line is good theosophist and
travels the cycle persistently. 1t is
sure to find favor in this country on
its temperance.
Better Than Hourglass.
We may expect very good results
from it's employment in gowns. now
that we have learned that the prop
erly controlled figure is preferable to
and more beautiful than the hourglass
effect. Whether the princess type finds
favor or not. however, it is a real re-
lief to see the straight, long lines and
dropped belt of the sketch reappear
under the sanction of the great powers
in clothes. The effect is full of grace
and dignity, those wonderful qualities
which have been conspicuously lack
ing just lately.
But we welcome such gowns for an
other reason besides the esthetic. We
had begun to look askance at the
spreading skirts and tight bodices
which were shown US almost exclusive
ly. They seemed to demand the small
waist so insistently. The crinoline ef-
feet is really clumsy without it. This
is SO unnatural that the figure must be
unnatural too. We began to fear for
our comfort. not to mention our
health. The little women were not ap-
prehensive, but the big ones felt dis
tinctly weary. If the powers that be
allow us gowns like the sketch, how
ever all will be well.

assert that they will prolong life If
used constantly
The first of these assertions is alb
surd. From the standpoint of actual
nourishment buttermilk Is certainly in
ferior to whole milk. as all the butter
fat has been removed.
The second contention is more sub
stantiai, While the fermented milks
do not represent short cut to eternal
youth and health. as their enthusiastic
cumstances they are more easy OF di-
gestion than the whole milk.
Many physicians recommend them to
those suffering from intestinal trou-
bles, as the Tactic acid in them is de-
clared to be very beneficial. And it is
certain that many persons who cannot
digest sweet milk have no difficulty in
digesting the fermented milks. There
fore, they are to be recommended, espe-
cIally as summer drinks. 1t Is neces-
sary sometimes to cultivate a taste for
these sour milks: but to acquire the
taste is worth while, in view of the
fact that they are healthful-and but
termilk, at least, is easy to obtain and
very inexpensive.
A prime requisite of any soured milk
is that it be served very cold-ice cold,
indeed, for unchilled fermented milk has
very unpleasant taste.
II 1t is not easy for you to obtain
buttermilk, or If you prefer a more
highly charged drink, koumiss is cas-
lily made at home. and it Is more eco
nomical to make it than to buy it.
Dissolve one-sixth of yeast cake in
a little warm milk and add one table,
spoon and half of sugar. Add this
to one quart of fresh. lukewarm milk
and pour this combination into bot
ties. The bottles should be thoroughly
cleaned with boiling water and easily
corked. Place the filled and tightly
corked bottles for twelve hours where
the temperature will not drop below 10
degree. An even temperature is desir-
able. Then set the bottles in the ice
box for another twelve hours and the
koumiss will be ready to drink
This makes a highly charged drink.
but be sure that the bottles are secure
ly corked and they should be opened

Three-Minute Mayonnaise.

The making Of mayonnaise dressing
was formerly regarded as a very trou-
bIesome affair. Exceptional cooks or
housewives, it is true, would assert
that it was no trouble, once the knack
was acquired; but as rule 1t was not
a popular dressing with busy cooks.
The reason was not far to seek. In
the first place, tradition held that II
mayonnaise dressing curdled 1t must
be thrown out and a new mixture
started; and, as 1t often curdles, this
was not cheerful prospect to face
when time was short. In the second
place, tradition asserted that good
mayonnaise could be made only by
adding the oil drop by drop-a lengthy
and troublesome process.
Tradition in both instances was
wrong. If the mayonnaise curdles, an
egg yolk should be broken into a clean
bowl and beaten thoroughly and the
curdled mixture added to this drop. In
this way the mayonnaise will be re-
covered
The three-minute mixture that saves
the tedious drop-by-drop process is
made as follows:
Measure out the salt and mustard
yolk and white. Beat this mixture
thoroughly and then add one-third of a
cup of oil. all at once. Beat this until
it begins to thicken, then add another
third of a cup of OIL This makes a
fairly thin mayonnaise. II thicker
one Is desired more oil must be added,
making a cup of oil in all: beat until
very stiff, then set the bowl on ice un-
til the dressing is wanted.
Mayonnaise made by this process is
less likely to curdle than that made in
the old way. and the mixture is quite
as good.
A bowl or jar Of mayonnaise will
keep for some time II put in the re-
frigerator, and 1t is very useful to
have on hand. It Is well to remember,
too, that a mayonnaise can be trans
formed into a tartare sauce by the ad-
dition of chopped gherkins and capers.
Therefore 1t Is economy in time SO to
plan your menus that fish dish served
with q tartare sauce is followed the
next day by a salad requiring q mayon-
naise dressing, or vice versa.
