One-Piece Frocks Popular.

We are inundated with one-piece
frocks made of satin, gabardine, velours
and velvet. Chiffon plays a larger part
than georgette crepe, and embroidery
is spread over the surface of the
frocks, but does not touch the tailored
suits.
The best choice of material in these
is velourS. The best style at the pres
ent moment is the moderately long and
wide skirt arranged to hang Imply
against the body, and coat that is
reminiscent of the days when men
dressed in more conspicuous manner
than they do nova coat that is tight
1y buttoned in at the waist, has full
peplum cut on an even line halfway
between knees and waist without stint
of fullness in it's folds, and wide revers
and collars that again suggest the d.
rectoire.
With these are worn high draped
collars with full frills in front. Those
who seek something new in every form

strictionS.

In England the private motorist is
40 longer allowed to use gasoline free

purposes that the new restrictions are
severe. High and low are being treat

ISOLATION to the ordinary motor car own

the speaker of the house of commons
are allowed only six gallons of petrol a
month. Mr. Lowther, the speaker, con-

Three PIECE SETS
HAT. SCARF AND MuFF THAT
MATCH ARE MUCH IN FAVOR.
One of Purple Velvet and Errnne and
Another of Black Velvet and
Sapphire Blue Taffeta Are
Shown in Sketch

Hat, scarf and muff or bag that
match are quite approved by dame
fashion for the coming season. and
two very charming sets are shown ilr
the sketch. The upper one employs
purple velvet and ermine in its con-
struction. The little toque of velvet
is banded in ernline and an ornament
in oriental colorings centers the front.
The scarf may be worn open. as il
Illustrated or it may be draped high
about the throat. A narrow band of
ermine borders the scarf on either
side and an ermine-covered button of
generous size serves to conceal the
scarf's fastening. The small round
muff is edged with ermine. Color of
velvet used and type of fur may be
varied to suit the individual taste
Chinchilla squirrel and silver rabbit
are two effective furs that might be
attractively combined with velvet in
the development of three-oiece set
similar to the one sketched.

effective method would be to cord the
taffeta, thereby making it heavier and
richer looking. The hat is turned up
at one side and caught with a bright
ornament.

developed at comparatively small ac-
tUal expense if patience and some

dressed, and in large measure they ac-

HOW LLOYD-GEORGE WORKS
Depends Much on Secretaries and
Never Writes a Letter If
He Can Help 1t.

1t is said that Lloyd-GeOrge, the
British war minister, depends very
much ON his secretaries, and never
writes a letter if he can help it. He
has the knack of getting the men he
wants and of getting lot of work
out of them, and, as would be expect
ed sees that they are properly re-
warded When he went to the war
office Lloyd-George took three of his
secretaries with him, Mr.. II. j. Greedy,
who was Lord Kitchener's secretary,
being retained also; j. T. Davies, who
has served NJ LIOyd-George in a very
confidential st for some time; Miss
+. l.. Stephenson, who is probably the
first woman to occupy such a post with
q responsible statesman, and Mr.. w.
Sutherland, who is underpaid. Lloyd
George, by the way, has made more
than one find among his private sec
retaries, and, even in face of comment,
he has not hesitated to secure their
promotion to responsible posts. There
is, for instance Sir w. III. Clark, a
former board of trade clerk, who was
the present war secretary's "ghost" at
the board of trade and the exchequer,
who became a member of the council
of India and who, at the age of forty,
is a knight, busily engaged in organic
ing the capture of German trade. An
other of Mr.. Lloyd-George's former
private secretaries is Mr.. John Row
land, brilliant Welshman, who has
done good work as Welsh insurance
commissioner.

Chinese Trade and the War.

United States trade with China in
creased in 1915, although foreign bust
ness men throughout the world Suf-
fered loss of more than 500, 100000
in their exports to that country last
year. China has for years been in an
unsettled condition, yet the country's
foreign trade mounted higher and high
er until the European war, when the
trade was crippled. Wherever rail-
road has been built in China new trade
opportunities have sprung up and new
markets have been created. On The
upper Yangtze river in western China,
a rich inland empire in the Chunglling
consular district, having Il population
of upward of 100000, no adequate
transportation facilities exist, and no
railway connection whatever.

On the stove. Remove the head and

The real game lover prefers the
gamy taste rather than spices or sea-
sOnings that destroy that flavor.
If the tishy taste is not liked, parboii

Quail and partridge being white
meat should be cooked well done, us
ing care not to dry it and lose its
flavor. Duck, snipe, grouse, squad and
woodcock have dark meat so should be
served rare. All meats should be
steaming hot when served. When
trussing birds, use string rather than
SkeWerS as they tear the delicate flesh,
The breasts of game during the pro-
cess of cooking should be wrapped in
bacon, or thin salt pork, Sitting it to
keep it from curling, fastening Ola with
toothpicks. AS game lacks fat it
should be well basted while roasting,
Serve it with perfectly sliced and
Drowned potatoes.
Venison should be cooked as one
does mutton and served rare, allowing
10 to II minutes to the pound. Serve
with spiced grape jelly or currant jef-
ly.
Avoid game that has hung too long,
as serious digestive troubles may re-
suit from such meat. Birds that ar.
torn with shot will not keep for any
length Of time.
