Popular Serge.

Says a clever girl: Serge is SO satis-
flying, more so than gabardine or covert. -
Moreover, 1t is of all three fabrics the
most versatile, and, getting more use
than the other two, would be the suit
that would best mark her "of the mo-
ment''
That serge takes SO agreeably to the
spreading line was another argument in
its behalf.
Perhaps the acorn is the incest note in
the made -to-order button which trims
these suits. and this is prettiest in the
hanging position. The suit is in a dark
shade. which will lend itself very prettily
to the new skirt The acorns hang from
silk or wool-covered rngs-the very fine
darning WOODS lending themselves to such
an end. These acorn buttons give such
pretty oppor' unity for a playful fancy
in the case of this suit. for instance. while
the nut Of the button is of the silk, the
cup IS Of serge, and the ring of silk, tn 5
last in its turn resting on the serge, ant
making the alienation of the two ele
ments complete.
To come back to the other fabrics, 3

TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS

of the quality.
Spring Cleaning.
In the old days of spring cleaning,
custom upset every part of the house,
from attic to cellar, almost simultane-
ously for week or two. entailing con-
tinuous discomfort for the entire fam
lily. Few housewives of today DELHI
erately follow this archaic and trying
system; but many, unfortunately, are
given to procrastination In the matter
until they suddenly find that 1t must
all be done in hurry, or "bunched"-
the result being the same.
Now is the time to begin this work II
you wish to finish it in peace before
the early warm weather is upon you. A
house properly kept does not need a
rigorous cleaning from top to bottom; !;
but every house-however well kept
needs q certain amount of attention IN
the spring.
First, there are repairs to be made,
and these should be attended to he
fore the cleaning is started. Leaks.
scratched paint. loose blinds, swollen
doors. creaking boards, all should be
remedied. and il you depend upon
carpenter in such matters it is to your
adva ntage to engage him early and
have your house set in order before the
spring rush Of work leaves him with
little available time.
When repairs are completed, begin at
the top of the house and work slowly
downward-one room at a time, and In
!, 1eisurely fashion: and before you real
ize the fact your entire house will be
cleaned-and you will not be suffering
from overfatigue or exhaustion.
| Remember that the spring Is trying
season: that one is likely to be more OF
| less run down" after the trials of win
tier and especially susceptible to colds
and infections. Therefore it is i'm
portant that one should not "overdo" II
this work of annual housecleaning
This is really the root Of much OF the
spring Illness with which housewives
are afflicted.
An excellent plan when cleaning Is ts
look carefully over each room as yol
progress and make a list Of nttl'
things that you want for the room-s
vase. pair Of book ends, new desi t
shopping bag and you will find tina
; you can save yourself both money ant m
trouble by keeping your eyes open To-
bargains as you go about your othel
purchasing errands.

How to Know Fresh Fish.

Never order fish by telephone. This
is cardinal rule if you wish the best
fish. Even if you live in a seaside
town where you have every reason to
suppose the fish will be fresh it is bet
ter to pick it out yourself
In choosing fish be sure that the eyes
are full and bright and the gills clear
red The body should be stiff. not
limp. and the smell should not be un-
pleasant.
If crabs are fresh the eyes are bright
and the joints of the legs are stiff.
Lobsters still have some action in their
claws when freshly caught. This may
be tested by pressing against the eyes.
In both crabs and Holsters the heaviest
both crabs and Holsters the heaviest
are the best. and the male lobster is
generally regarded as better than the
female. In the male the tail is mar
rover than in the female and the two
uppermost fms within the tail are stiff
and hard, while those Of the female are
soft.
In fresh scallops and CLANS the shell
is tightly closed. If 1t opens easily and
loosely, they are not fresh.
oysters should be- purchased in the
chaser. Never buy oysters that are dis
played in a window in a tin of water.
The best oysters are firm and salty
in taste. Beware of a very limp or a
verv fat oyster. Ii too limp 1t is not
fresh, and if very fat and white 1t has
probably been pumped by being soak
ed in oatmeal water-which also de-
stroys the flavor.
In large communities, of course, the
dealer as a rule delivers the fish pre-
pared for cooking. Where this Is no,
the custom. however, it may be sale
that fresh fish should be scaled ant
cleaned on a dry board, and not II
water Use as little water as possible
and cook the fish as soon after it Is
prepared as is convenient.
Eels should be dressed promptly, OF
=, they lose their sweetness. The fattes
are best; but eels should not be eater
| in the hottest months.
Mussels. both salt and fresh water
spoil easily, and will not stand mucl
handling. For this reason. gather then
yourself from the rocks II possible
otherwise buy them direct from fish

FRUIT CAKE THAT KEEPS
AND IS WORTH KEEPING

Fruit cake is always delicious when
cut in thin slices with the afternoon
cup Of tea. And as it keeps we'll and
improves with age, it can be easily
kept on hand. 1t Is good, too, with the
glass of lemonade or fruit punch that
sometimes takes the place Of tea on
summer afternoons. And the fruit
cake you make now will. unless it is
all eaten before that time. be about
at its best when warm afternoons
begin.
Here is recipe for fruit cake made
with dried fruits of an unusual sort
to use in fruit cake-peaches and
prunes. Soak a pound of dried prunes
and peaches overnight Strain and
stone the prunes and cut the peaches
into shreds. Wash and dry half a
pound of pinon nuts and add to the
fruit. Cream a cup of butter, add
half cup of granulated sugar, five
unbeaten eggs. the grated rind and
juice of two oranges, teaspoonful
each of cinnamon and ginger. and
half as much cloves, and then three
quarters Of a pound of pastry flour.
Beat smooth and add the fruit and
nuts. which have been thoroughly
mixed with half q cup of flour. Line a
large cake pan or several smaller ones
with waxed paper, pour in the cake
and bake for three hours.
Here is a recipe calling for citron
and raisins. Cream three-quarters of
a cup Of butter with two of sugar.
and then add three well beaten eggs.
Then add these spices. mixed together:
One teaspoonful Of allspice, half a
teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, third
of a teaspoonful of ground cloves and
a quarter of teaspoon of ground
mace Dissolve three-quarters of a
teaspoonful of soda in a cup of milk
and add to the other ingredients, alter
nately with three cups of flour. sifted
with teaspoonful of cream tartar.
At the last add a cup of citron. cut
into shreds, and two cups of raisins
mixed well with half a cup of flour
Bake for about an hour in a loaf.

25 cents. Valenciennes edging to

90 cents, at ) cents a yard.
Another pretty model that the very
thin girl would like, because it Is such
fluffy affair. is made preferably from
chiffon, though anything as thin as net
or China silk will answer. You take a
length of wash ribbon an inch or SO
wide. the circumference Of the bust Of
the wearer-to-be. This supports wide
strip of fabric gathered several times,
the first with a heading. Each row Of
gathers is sewed down to the ribbon.
The lower edge of the fabric strip is
gathered once and secured to belt of
ribbon two inches wide.
This is just the kind of cover the very
slender girl should wear under her en-
pire frocks or baby waist effects. 1t
suggests only the ch-desired natural
fullness, the material being so very
soft. Very narrow ribbon straps sup
port this camisole.

Silk In Hatdon.

This cleverest play Of flower and leaf

millinery markets: 1t has to be con-

The silk hat is not only very nice

sity, because the notwithstanding

both dyes and plait. The dye question
will no doubt be settled to the satisfaction
of the manufacturers in time. but

Fortunately, fashion is moro set on
