and which was finally all covered as
the Overskirt grew in length. Then, as
there was no obvious reason for it's
further existence, it was dispensed with,
giving way to the clever campaign Of
the circular skirt.
Since then variations have been play
ed upon the circular skirt, and most
fiattering are the attentions showered
on each new development of this well
liked style. There is, for example,
the arrangement of three or more cir
cular cut fiounces, each larger than
the one above, to which it is applied
with a corded finish usually. This is
a remarkably pretty style and figures
in the afternoon frock shown in today's
cut.
The upper of the three fiounces Is cut
out in gradual shallow curve over
either hip, running up to point at
the exact center front and back. A
diamond shaped soutache motif trims
each point, while the line of the top
is corded and given tiny heading of
self material. The remaining two cir
cular flounces are the same depth. A
plain hip yoke fills in the space over
the hips.
There is simple blouse of chiffon
matching the color of the taffeta skirt,
and it is made with long sleeves fin
lshed with taHeta Guns anu opens In
front over a taffeta vest cut with a
f1aring collar.
Then there is the novel and interest
ing drapery over the blouse, also car
ried out in chiffon. 1t is widely cut
out at the armsides and caught togeth-
er with lacing at the underarm seams
from the waist line to the hips. where
it is caught under the top of the first
circular founce. The fronts are left
open and a deep girdle of satin Is run
beneath, combining the blouse but not
the transparent overdrapery Trim
mings of soutache are worked in a
simple motif over either shoulder on
the oVerdrapery.
The dress can he carried out in any
color.

FOOT COMFORT.

Summer is hard on most feet, the rea :
son being that they become heated and
swollen. The first thing to consider,
then, is an equipment Of footgear to
suit changed conditions; summer shoes
and boots need to be of lighter mate
rial than those worn in cold weather,
and, since the foot is practically larger
now. there should be some increase in
the size of the shoe. especially with
the practical ones worn in the hottest
weather.
The larger and more varied the as
sortment of summer shoes, too, the
more comfortable the foot will be, for
sometimes merely changing the foot
gear will afford immediate relief to
distressed feet. Shoes for walking
should have fiat heels. round toes and
thickish soles When the heels are
| worn at one side they should be re-
paired at once, as run down heels fling
the whole body out of plumb and are
very hard on the feet themselves
When the Innings become soaked with
perSpiration the shoes are equally in
furious the poisons once exuded going
back into the skin and often causing
the Inflammation so hard to account
for.
New shoes, in fact, are far less try
ing to the feet than old ones, and, II
there are enough pairs to make this
possible. wearing them on alternate
days will help to make them last
longer. Footwear is like everything
else in dress-it needs to be rested
sometimes.
A pair Of rest slippers Is an absolute
requirement for those who suffer much
with their feet, and the best styles for
these are the simple, fiat-heeled leather
slippers sold for boys. These are stout
enough to keep the feet from spread
ing too much, and yet. If obtained in
the right size "a number or more

Economy in Cooking.

Many housekeepers believe that
economy is entirely a matter Of saving
money and that IL the affairs Of the
household are administered by them
with this end in view they have every
reason to be perfectly satisfied with
their achievement. But there is a false
economy as well as a true one.
Take the question Of providing meals
Most women feel that after each meal
there should be sufficient left over to
help out the next, believing this to be
economy. But this is more often than
not a mistake. Only when food left
over can be presented again with less
trouble and expense than the ingredi
ents necessary for a new dish. and as
appetizing as the freshly prepared, can
II be said to be an economy.
Meat that can be eaten cold or heated
up quickly and easily may be cooked
in quantity with a saving of time and
money. but made-over dish that calls
for expensive combinations, much time
for preparation and length of time in
cooking will not prove economical in
the end, to say nothing of ones efforts
being met with "Oh. This old dish
hashed up again?"
We all know the story of the woman
who gave the poor child some stale
mother II she would add a couple of
eggs, sugar. q cup of raisns, some
-four, a quart Of milk, etc, and would
bake it in a slow oven she would have
a most delicious bread pudding. We
are inclined to laugh at the story, but
similar stories are enacted in many
homes
1t pays to save cold vegetables, be-
cause these can be chilled and tossed
together with French dressing or
mayonnafse. and the result is an appe-
tfzing salad at practically no trouble
or expense. 1t is an economy to make
more salad dressing than required at
the time. Little or much will take the
same length of time to make, and it
can be kept in the icebox ready for
use.
There is also an economy in buying
certain dishes instead of preparing
them. even though they cost more in
the first outlay of money. Soup. for
during hot weather. for 1t is apt to
sour, for one thing. 1t is only worth
while making quantity because OF
the cost of fuel in the cooking. The
same may be said of baked beans.
There are many brands of good food
which II will pay to buy ready prepared
even though they cost few pennies
more.
Raw fruit is one of the cheapest
desserts when plentiful, as well as one
OF the most wholesome. and even when
1t is not considered exactly. cheap it
still pays to buy 1t. 1t will not cost
more probably in the end than a pie
or pudding when the cost of fuel and
labor are taken account of.

plus solely with a view of making over,
let every housekeeper count the cost
first.

USE OF TOILET WATERS.

Women used to the coquetries of the
toilet understand the use Of toilet
waters and vinegars of all sorts. Where
cold cream Is much employed, they are
indispensable for taking the shine off
the skin. and since a liberal use of
cream burns the flesh, making it at
least darker and rougher than before
remember the point-the toilet vinegar
is often required for a thorough cleans
ing. When using, about a tablespoon
full OF strong sort is put in a small
bowl OF water
When treating sagging muscles Of
the neck use the vinegar hot.

READ THESE LIFE TALES AND

The disgrace of bringing husband
into court on a .non-support charge
was pointed out in the court of do
nestle relations by woman of the
older generation to a woman of the
younger.
Mrs. John James Hebik, 1927 S.

ried to John 13 months and that he
deserted her after IL months, during
which she had worked and he had
not. She thought she ought to be
allowed 81 a week for her support.
Have you anybody to sign your
bond?" Judge SABBATH asked John.
'Tu not sign his bond" said the
mother of John. 81 don't know why
she brought him into court. My hus-
band deserted me three years ago
and left me with four children to sup
port. She hasn't any children.

She had her first husband in court;
it's becoming a practice. Inever did
it. 1 won't sign his bond to see that
he pays anything. He can go to Jail
and I'll go on working for my chill
dren. If 1 signed bond she'd have
him in Jail. anyway. When he's
there she won't be getting anything"
John went to Jail.
James Killeen, 1900 N. Kildare ST.,
answered his wife's charge of non
support with bitter protest that he
has walked the streets looking for
work until his feet are through his
shoes.

FAVoRS SEGREGATED DISTRICT
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS

Los Angeles, Sept. Mrs. EsteIle
Lawton Lindsey, city councilwoman,
today favored segregated district in
Los Angeles, but she favored it only
under following conditions:
First-That men DE segregated in
the district with the women and kept
there under the same condition of So
cial ostracism.
Second - That the restricted dis
trict be walled about, with one gate
brilliantly Illuminated in a conspicu-
out part of town. and that every man
entering get a license from the city
clerk and have his name printed in
big, black letters in the newspapers.
Under these conditions Mrs. Lind
sey said she might vote for a segre-
gated district if the proposition comes
before the council. She declared that
the segregated districts as at present
conducted are forms of special priv
lege and that she is opposed to al
forms of special privilege.
