Detachable Sleeves.

With never a thought of the wash
board or the fiat iron, one of our big
dressmakers. in the early spring, de-
signed dainty tennis costume This
costume had huge, flaring pocket on
one side for tennis balls, and detach-
able sleeves. That is, the sleeves were
arranged to button on to drop shout
der; they could be removed when play
ing, and buttoned on again when the
game was over. 1t was pretty no.

the tennis girl; it was still more prac

lily adapted it from the frock of serge
and satin, with its tight-fitting, smart
sleeves, to her frock of chambray and
cotton crepe. Now, instead of rolling
back, pinning, wrinkling, and general
ly soiling fresh dress, she merely re-
moves her sleeves, proceeds with her
work, and when the necessity for free
dom of action is past, buttons them on
again. The wide pocket, too, is made
good use of.
The PantaIette Skirt.
Practical housekeepers are obliged
to climb a ladder now and then, to
hang pictures, drape a curtain or por

very tip-top shelf Of the cupboard, and
then-what a nuisance fluffy petit

pert and designs the trouser skirt
Blouse and trousers. which resemble a
pair of overalls are joined together;
there is an outside skirt worn in the
ordinary way, which may be omitted
when there is strenuous work to do,
and donned when desired. This is, per-
haps, one of the most sensible cos
tunes of the year. While it is ideal
for the house, it is quite as good for
the out-of-door girl who enjoys a
mountain climb; excellent for walk
ing, boating, and like sports. The idea
may be carried out attractively in the

fashioned of filmy fabrics to CORE

New York, September "a.
Our modern housewife, be she bride
or matron, does not prepare breakfast
in a be.ribboned and be-ruffled morn
ing robe, or dinner in passe afternoon
frock. She delights in her trim morn
ing dress, with open throat, short
skirt, and sleeves, developed in some
fresh material which may be tubbed
every Monday morning. Her hair is
drawn back daintily and becomingly,
and often confined under a cap of the
same material as the housedress, to
protect the hair from dust or cooking
odors.

it up and find cotton crepe, whether
in pure white, or patterned in color, a
most satisfactory and practical mate
rial for the work dress.
Popularity Of the smock.
The gardening fad, which took a
strong hold upon the fancy of the city
dweller and the suburbanite, this sum-
mer, was responsible for the introduce
ton of the smock. 1t has become de-
cidedly popular with housekeepers and
promises to find permanent place in
the wardrobe. The smocks are FASH
toned of dark blue linen, chambray,
duck, and similar materials, often
trimmed with shocking in contrasting
thread. They are especially practical
to slip on over an afternoon frock when
there is some slight task to be per.
formed which might possibly result in
spot or stain on the gown. The
woman who delights in regilding pic
ture frame, or Frightening up piece
of furniture, will also find them con.
venient, as they are generally made up
in somewhat heavier material than
the regulation apron, and, therefore,
offer more protection.
Bungalow or Acknowledging Aprons.
These large all-enveloping aprons
play no small part in the housekeeper's
scheme of things. Crepe is also being
used considerably for these aprons,
but bingham still holds first place; this
is garment that requires bit of
crispness to make it look fresh. Per-
Gale, striped, or patterned in some con.
ventionalized design, is attractive, too,
and there are a number of other wash
fabrics, thin duck, for instance, that
are used.
Pockets and Trimmings.
Large, roomy pockets are features Of
both dresses and aprons. They come
in very handy for carrying dust
cloth, a short handled duster or whisk
broom, pair Of shears, or some other
article to be used at various times dur
ing the morning; besides being USE
full, they break the severity Of the
dress and render it more becoming.

dresses, too; but they must be wash

Prepared From Scraps Of Meat
and VegetabIes-Hints for
the Cook.

When the making over old cold
meats into warm dishes is in question
consider the casserole. By it's use
even the smallest scraps of meat, vege-
tables, sauces and gravies can be
used up. Not spoonful of anything
edible need go to waste.
When the Sunday joint of roast beef
has been served hot and then cold,
make a delicious lunch or supper Of
the remains If there is insufficient for
q dinner. In the bottom of the cas-
serole put sliced potatoes, a carrot
and couple Of onions, small, chopped,
and, If on hand, a few mushrooms.
Over this pour the gravy from the
meat, or, If this has been thrown away,
add water seasoned with pepper and
salt Put on the cover and bake in
q slow oven for an hour. Half an
hour before serving lay the cold meat
on top of the vegetables, replace tho
cover. and continue the baking.
Cold roast of lamb will prove very
tasty dish cooked in casserole with
green peas. The peas are boiled and
placed in layers in the casserole alter
nately with slices of the lamb. The
liquor in which the peas were boiled
is thickened and poured over, the cas-
serole being set in the oven until the
meat has heated through. Served with
mashed potatoes, an appetizing meal
is the result. When cold peas or other
vegetables are on hand q white sauce
can be poured over. or any gravy
that may be available. The liquor
from the peas is not absolutely neces-
sary, though it adds to the nutriment

A very delicate dish for q dainty
lunch or q meal for an invalid is a
combination of chicken and mush-
rooms prepared in casserole. The
mushrooms are fried in butter very
lightly, then tablespoonful of -four
mixed with a scant cupful of milk is
poured in and cooked until creamy.
The mushrooms ana cold chicken, are
packed into the casserole in alternate
layers and the creamy sauce poured
over until the contents are heated
through evenly.
A novel way Of using up cold rice
is to cover the bottom of the casserole
with it in quite thick layer, and re-
cook it with raw eggs. Make as many
depressions in the rice as there are
eggs to be cooked and drop one egg
(broken) into each space. Season with
salt and pepper and pop bits of butter
over rice and eggs.
A still more unusual dish is made
from cold veal. About one cupful of
the meat diced is mixed with one
dozen almonds chopped and blanched,
salt and pepper to taste and dash
of paprika. This mixture is held to-
gether with beaten egg and formed
into small balls. These are laid in
a casserole and covered with stewed
tomatoes. The cover is put on and
the dish put into the oven for half
an hour or so.

the dlgestibility when fed ground ra'
tions is increased as much as IA per

ing Of food for horses but in many in.
stances, however, 1t does not appear,
according to his experiments, to cover
the cost Of operation. AS his tests
are conllno0 exclusively to certain
type Of work horses, his opinion on
the advisability OF feeding ground
food must not be taken to cover all
types Of work horses.
AS stated above, farm horses which
are worked constantly six and some
times seven days week actually need
to have their food ground because at
the time Of their taking rations every

their digestive organs, should have the
least tax possible.
The feeding time OF farm horses Is
