Ramekin and Casserole.

Every housekeeper and every cook
knows the advantages of cooking in a
casserole or its diminutive, the ramekin-
that is to say, such housekeepers and
cooks as do not know of these advan-
tases know little about modern cookery.
For ca ssero!e cooking has been advo-
Gated continuously by the cook books, the
chefs and the cooking teachers of the
country for years--and ramekin cooking
is casserole cooking on an individual scale.
The casserole, as 1t has been developed,
is a very presentable dish 1t can be
lifted, hot and steaming. directly from the
oven and slipped into nickel or silver
by the aid of which il can be
easily passed. And sometimes the I'M
glazed casseroles of a small size look Very
well without silver or nickel framework
inclosing them simply laid on folded
napkin on plate.
When the casserole is passed this way
the waitress must have in her hand Il
folded napkin with which she can steady
the dish if necessary, for it is too hot
for her own or. anybody eises hand to
touch If the dish is placed on the ia
BILE to be served, 1t must have under it a
linen covered asbestos mat.
There are pretty little individual rame-
kins of brown glazed earthenware stand
ing In nickel frames Individual dishes,
especially at luncheon, of meat and Vege-
tables can be very conveniently served in
and eaten from these dishes

peculiarly distinctive this year. In fact.
it Is long time since they were so
played up to advantage. One sees them
everywhere, in morning, afternoon and
even in informal evening costumes,
bold designs and the hairline variety
in a mixture of colors and in black and
white.
Plain black satin and white taffeta
marked off in large plaid design in
black satin stripes makes up the suit
of the sketch. The plaid Jacket is in
i, the waist line at either side Of the
front. Beyond each tab the material is
longer, and cut with a goodly flare to
stand out over the hips and back. Long
sleeves are flared over the wrists and
the jacket is lined with white satin.
Then there is a pretty vest of white
satin with one pointed side Tapped well
over the bust and a large collar Of fine
embroidered white batiste rolled back
from the neck over the jacket itself.
The vest is belted loosely with white
kid belt run through a nicke! buckle.
The black satin skirt is circular and
slightly gathered al the top. Over either
hip a sawtooth pocket slash is trimmed
with silver braid and nickel buttons.
The lower edge of the skirt is cut of
short at the sides and the length COM
pleted with plaid silk set on from I'M
derneath.
Just recently there have appeared on
the counters some new plaid and
striped taffetas that promise to Guido
all the other figured silks. A splendid
selection is offered, and a great deal
of their attraction is attributable to
the fact that the colorings are far more
varied and artistic than ever before.

The Summer Silks.

Summer has not yet come and already
silks are known to the world.
The fabrics are amazing enough to
excite attention and admiration from a
beauty-loving public. even though war
wages and tragedy shadows all va
rieties and frivolities. 1t is impossible
in such an exceptional collection to
select one particular silk for first hon
ors. The "minaret" is one Of the rich
est of the class. having a faille foun-
dalton. Multi-coIored- tinsel designs
reminiscent of the bejeweled turbans
of the shahs of Persia are spread over
the finest of faille foundations.
In the same class are "measere,"
which has delicate broche wreaths in
various colored tfnsels spread all over
faille foundation. "mepris," which
is a silk with fine faille ground. has
broche tlnsel flowers in multi-tones Of
the color of the ground. "Petrin" has
its wolfe ground interviewer with a
great number of fine gold threads in
the filling. and all over the material
are brocaded flowers formed of fine
velvet.
New fall silks and dressy fabrics of
various descriptions are remarkable for
| tinsel effect and gorgeous colors Lots
of them show in the color and tinsel
)ewelry. or oriental designs There
i.are also many rich gold and silver
tissues. metal and tinsel brocades and
velvet brocade effects Negrin is a rich
fabric made with solid gold warp
stripes. Pacha is fabric combining
tinsel. brocade and printed effects
Crepe fedora is an all-silk material
woven after the manner of the finest
plque without any padding threads
Crepe suZette is very light silk, given
very fine crinkle.
The nomenclature of the new colors
shows the effect of the war Many

The WarIike Air
Of Modern Styles

One Of the newest of the military
notes in the world of feminine apparel
is a boot with blue cloth tops marked
down the front with two lines of gilt
braid and buttoned with grass military
buttons. The vamp of these boots is
made of black patent leather or kid in
gun metal finish.
OF course, we are all used to the mil
itafy collar on coats and to the suits
with ornaments Of braid applied in
soldier fashion. Then there are mill
tary belts of leather now and then, and
it may be that the war is responsible
for the prevalence of the zouave jacket
1t is strange, though, isn't it, that
the cape = the essence of military
clothes tendency-should have been
discarded by fashion just as the war
began? Who can tell why it was that
the cape had such Il long life? 1t was
becoming, it was convenient. To be
sure, it admits wind in the winter but
this is no plausible reason why women
who braved several winters with barred
chests should discard the cape in Au-
gust.
Doubtless the very sudden and very
complete popularity which the cape at
tanned was the cause of it's equally
sudden and complete downfall.

Renew the body and spirits after

There are some dos and don'ts es-

the bride feels that her face needs to
be bathed don't use soap. for this will
leave the skin hard and shining. A
freshening bath which Will remove
the feeling of untidiness is made with
clear warm water in which a few drops
of benZoin are put. Rubbing the face
over with d little toilet water mixed
with plain water will also brighten
the cheeks OF the too-pale bride.
If very nervous when starting for
the church or parlor take the French
brides restorative. a teaspoonful of
orange flower water in half glass of
plain water.
Practice the graceful art of being a
graceful bride long before the cere-

The railroad. from a 15-mile line

Howard Spaulding. Jr, who has
been nicknamed the "$30. 1000 200

edge Of the big fresh water tank at
the Pleasantou Hotel, dangled her
well-shod feet in the cool water, and
pulled into place her bathing cap,
which had gone somewhat askew as
she had emerged from a dive.
Don't you just love it herc?" de-
manded Mrs. Spaulding Of a Star-Bul
letin reporter. We do. Why we even
begrudge tho three days which the
trip to the volcano win take, so de-
lighted are we with Honolulu. You
see, we have TO go back to the main
land next week, on the Matsonia."
Mr.. Spaulding's work calls him back
to Chicago. and the young couple. in
stead of going on from Honolulu to
the Orient and making their honey
moon trip a world-girdling journey,
will, return TO the mainland, spend two
weeks in California, and then go to
their home In Chicago.
Mrs. Spaulding, who because OF her

Love It. Simply love it. We are
taking home 1ISnleles and books of the
native songs, and we are going to sing
for all orr friends and persuade them
that this Is the best place In the world
for a honeymoon Last evening at
the dance here, Mr. Spaulding perched
up on the railing near the Hawaiian
quintet and was so wrapped In the
songs that he actually cut two dances.
