in figures. These wells are cut In
several different ways. Among others,
a large square of the figured net has
a circular opening, large enough to
slip over the hat crown. This is
bound and an elastic cord inserted in
the binding, serving to hold the veil
about the crown. The outer edge Is
bound with a narrow, bias strip of
white satin and hangs in four points
about the shoulders.
But the majority of godet wells are
merely straight lengths of figured net
or lace, hemmed along the straight
edge and gathered on an elastic cord
The other edges are bound with bias
fold of satin, like the binding on the
wells shown In the illustration.
Chiffon wells for outing or motor
wear have not been changed from
those worn heretofore. Most Of them
are about two yards long and three
quarters wide, with hem-stitched hens
an inch and half or two inches vice.
But the wide chiffon, cut in a length
sufficient to make square, and hem
stitched all around, are very practical.

SERVICE FOR AFTERNOON TEA
Having Cup on Matching Plate, With
out Saucer, Is Excellent Method,
for Obvious Reasons.

An easy way of serving cup OF
tea is to place the cup on a matching
plate, and to put folded tea napkin.
a spoon and fork on the plate. Then
pass whatever sandwiches or cakes you
may desire to serve with the tea. They
can be accommodated on the plate,
and daintily and easily eaten.
II elaborate cakes or sandwiches are
served with tea and no plate is pro-
vided ii is difficult to manage them
balanced on the saucer of the cup. II
a separate plate is held under the cup
and saucer, it is practically useless,
for the saucer so nearly fills 1t that
the margin at the edge is not wide
enough to accommodate the cakes.
OF course when simple wafer or
easily eaten sandwich is to be passed
with the tea the saucer of the teacup
is sufficiently commodious to accom-.
modate 1t.

GAS COOKING WITHOUT OVEN
Potatoes, Apples or Spaghetti May Be
Cooked ExcelIentIy on Top
Of the Stove.

An expert in using gas for cooking,
and who Is an economist as well,
gives these instructions:
Put an iron plate over one OF the
burners, lay couple of potatoes on
1t, cover It with an inverted deep pan
that fitted the plate, and light the
gas. The potatoes will be done in at
least two-thirds of the usual time. Take
little pan of apples, put in with them
a little water and sugar and place
them to bake in the same way as the
potatoes. Those apples will come out
as even and nice a brown as you
would want to see.
Then cook dish of spaghetti. Pre-
pare the spaghetti by putting the dish
on the hot plate, cover it with another
pan. When the spaghetti is baked,
cover the dish and just slip it down
underneath the gas flame for a few
minutes. 1t will be something to be
proud of when it comes out--a fine
rich brown-and you know 1t would
taste right just by looking at it
