Pink Is Having Its Day.


Pink is the color Of the day in woman's
dress.
Pink is not an especially estEetic color:
But it is a becoming color. 1t brings ou~
the best in it's wearer's looks. IT mas
been said that a French woman always
knows enough to run her lingerie with
pink ribbons For she. wise woman,
knows that there is charming softnesa
about pink that Is found in no other
color.
Apparently the French woman is
not the only one who knows of the be-
coming quality of pink. The rest OF
womankind has learned Of her. So now
every one is wearing. not only pink RIB
bons, but pink lingerie.
Pink neglige. too, Is worn in about
colors. as chocolate beverages are
drunk in proportion to those of other
flavors in the shops where confections
and soft drinks are dispensed.
This year shades of pink are in high
favor for other things than neglige
and lingerie wear.
Geranium. petunia, orchid red and
other shades, with much of the rosi-
ness that makes pink becoming, are
among the newest colors And then
there are the rose shades We have worn
all winter, and much of the shade that
generally goes by the name pink.
In sports clothes pink is important.
There are many charming blouses of
jersey silk striped in pink and white,
with pink facings and collars.
Pink. in the form of flowers, is much
used on spring hats.
Then there are pink crepe and chiffon
blouses by the score.
One thing that shows the popularity
of pink is the rows and rows of bottles
of liquid or powder to color water in
which pink things are washed. Pink
LIQUID or powder is it and it is added to
the rinsing water

TAFFETA REMAINS A POPULAR FABRIC.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.
,o;.I c,-r.s,ondense a, Tho Star

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, February 29.-When
Americans take up an idea or fabric
they hang on to it with Scotch per-
tinacity. They are rather slow of ac-
ceptance. however, in the matter of new
fashions, new fabrics or new silhou
cites, although on the surface they are
supposed TO be the easiest marks in
the world for eccentricity in designing.
However, once they like a style or a
fabric they cling to it for months, but
they cling in mass.
What the French Artists Say.
We have heard a great deal of for
eign criticism for the last year, because
of the unusual amount of foreigners in
this country-artists, sculntors and
men and women interested in charity,
all of whom ave come across the way
in search OF help for their various
needs We have therefore been flooded
with foreign languages in high places
anu also foreign opinions. This is es-
pecially true of the French, who have
sent shiploads of people to us, all of
whom have expressed opinions freely
and kindly and criticized us without
malice and in a manner that should
discover us TO ourselves and make us
see, if possible, defects that we can
easily remedy.
In New York this has been more
especially true than in the rest of the
country. Almost every one has the OPP
portunity of being thrown constantly
in a social way with foreigners more
or less distinguished. who are here for
a Week$Wr who are establishing them
selves here until the end of the war.
Among the many things they insist
upon is the Uniformity of the dress of
American women. The artists who are
here tell us the same thing that Paul
Poiret and Jacques Worth insisted upon
when they visited America for the first
time. They say that our women seem
to wear an institutional costume: it is
as though we were all turned out of
an orphan asylum where every one is
required to dress in uniform.
We are told that the American wom-
an rarely displays individuality in
dress: that if she could show it she
neighbor wears. from the crown of her
head to the tip of her toe. Leaving
New York, they argue, and landing in
New Orleans, one meets regiments and
brigades of women who wear clothes
that are made in the same way and
dyed in the same color. These French
artists cannot understand this desire
on our part to blend ourselves with the
mass. to be a unit of the millions.
There is no use arguing against them.
for they can walk you through any
crowd and convince you of their side
of the question in ten minutes. NO
psychologist has arisen to tell us what
is the d2inating reason behind the

T0DAYS HOUSEHOLD
AFFAIRS.
BY MARY LEE.

I heard that the students in domes-
tic science at one Of our big colleges
were being taught some very success
full maneuvers which would defeat that
willy old General High Cost of Living
when they were let out at him.
The news SO interested me that I de-
cided to Investigate for myself and I
found the report consolingly true.
They were actually planning and serv-
ing wholesome and well balanced meals
for a little less than 10 cents a plate. l
learned that the students are taught
proper combinations of foods, how to
market to the best advantage, what
things are seasonable and reasonable,
and how to serve the finished product
in a pleasing and artistic way.
These girls are learning things which
are of great value to them personally,
and will influence their home and sur
roundings when they leave college: but
best of all they are solving problems
in their everyday work which will
benefit all the homemakers with whom
they come in contact, either as teach
ers or friends. when they decide wheth-
er to take up the profession of do
mestic science or scientific homemaker.
Jhe girls DO their own marketing;
they are being trained to meet the
emergencies (Which constitute trage-
dies IN the lives of some of us) of nom
delivery of goods ordered with calm
ness and resourcefulness.
Here is a luncheon menu. ! also have
the recipes for all of the dishes, and il
any of my readers are interested 1 will
be glad to give them out:
