PACKING THE OUTING TRUNK.

paper used in the same way as with
the coats. Tack in few more tapes
to tie over every frock or two, and
use pins to keep them in place on
the tapes.
If you have any pleated skirts the
pleats must be pinned in position be-
fore packing. This helps to keep them
in place during the journey.
Be sure that the bottom section Of
the trunk is packed tight before put
ting in the tray. Everything should
be fiat and even and snug. Never
them in without folding if you would
have your clothes reach their desti-
nation in any sort Of shape.
Hats shoAld have section to them
selves. They should be pinned in
place. if there is a hat cushion, or. if
not, tapes tackled into the floor of the
hat compartment should be drawn
tightly over the hat brim. Then light
and other things without much
weight, may be pressed in around the
hat to keep it in place.
Remember always to place a roll of
tissue paper under each fold or crease
in skirts, frocks and waists. Stuff all
sleeves lightly with paper. Pin or
baste pleats into position. And see
to it that each article is fiat and
securely held in place. -
All the little knickknacks. with lin
gerie, can go in the top tray of the
trunk. If there is a hat compartment
in this tray the hat goes here. If
there is not, special hat box or trunk
is almost necessary. However. for a
short visit. it is quite possible to wear
a hat suitable for afternoons. and to
pack a small sailor or other sport hat
in regulation trunk.
Don't clutter your trunk with two
many cases. But on the other hand, be
sure to have cases for shoes-squares
or envelopes of cloth bound and tied
with tape-and cases for toilet articles
that otherwise would be easily mislaid.
There should. too. be a handkerchief
basket or bag of some sort, and veil
and glove cases are convenient and do
not take up much room.
1t is far easier to pack trunk that
is resting on two chairs than one that
is on the floor. And it is far easier to
pack if you have everything ready.
and then spend only an hour or so over
the actual work of packing.
Evening star., 1916-07-28

To pack things properly they must
not be crowded and yet they must be
held in place. OF course, a wardrobe
trunk helps to fulfill these conditions,
but even without one the packer can
few short tacks, plenty of pins and
tissue paper and she is ready to go to
work.
1t is very good plan to have every
thing gathered about the packer, in
plain sight. Her first duty should be to
pack the small travelling case which
she will probably carry with her. 1t
will have to be unpacked again, if the
trunk goes a day or so ahead of time,
but if it is not actually packed at the
same time the trunk is too many
things will be left for it. In it neces-
sarily go the things needed until the
trunks arrival But if possible, send
the trunk far enough ahead of time so
that it will be waiting for you. In
that case, all toilet articles and acces-
sories can go in the travelling bag and
so the task of packing these ungainly
things in the trunk will be avoided.
Put stockings, neatly rolled into
pairs, inside shoes. and place these
snugly in one of the compartments OF
the top of the trunk. And, if toilet
articles cannot go in the handbag,
wrap these in tissue paper and wedge
them into top compartment, packing
them in tight with a piece or two Of
underwear, so that they cannot move
or break
In the bottom of the trunk place the
lingerie. spread out as much as pos
sible. Fasten tapes at the sides of the
trunk and tie them over the lingerie,
to hold it in place, pinning the tapes
here and there for greater security.
Then lay in the coats, if there are
any. The sleeves should be stuffed
with little tissue paper, unless you
have some of those pasteboard coat and
waist forms. They are admirable in
keeping wrinkles away. Lay the coat
full length, if possible. If not. crease
it at the waist or wherever the belt is.
And place a roll of tissue under the
crease.
Then put in the frocks. with tissue

Kitchen and Pantry

Luckily for US. in order that we may
be able to subsist at all, eggs have not
followed almost every foodstuff in its
upward price flight. We will not at
tempt to explain the reasons for this,
but will take this lone gift the gods
provide with thanksgiving and make
the most of it.
We think of eggs as boiled, poached.
fried, creamed, etc, and these well
known varieties are fraught with more
than less of monotony. So it has been
interesting to collect some unusual egg

them into a bread pan well creased and
break an egg into each followed center
and return to the oven until the eggs
are set. These are good served with

Egg Gems.-Line the bottom and
sides of each cup in gem pan with
the usual sour milk biscuit dough.

bake. When done CRATE cheese and
break an egg into each cup; cover with
cheese, salt and pepper and let the eggs
set. Rice or macaroni to which a well
beaten egg and a tablespoonful of flour
have been added may be used in place
of the biscuit dough.
Dainty Eggs for Sunday Supper
Chop the whites of eight or ten hard
boiled eggs and CRATE and mash the
yolks with silver fork. Make a sauce
of two tablespoonfuls each Of butter
and -four to which two cupfuls of sweet
milk have been added slowly. Let boil
up once or twice, season with salt, pep

chopped whites. Place pieces of hot
toast on hot platter and cover each
piece with the mixture. Season the
yolks with alt~pepper, mustard and a

What had become Of the big, fat fish
that Plunger the Fish Hawk had caught
in the Big River, that King Eagle had
forced him to drop. that Buster Bear had
claimed as his, and over which Buster
Bear and King Eagle had been quarrel
ing most shamefully? When King Eagle
had seen his chance he had swooped
down to the place where the fish had
fallen. his claws outstretched to seize it,
But there was no fish there. No. sir,
there wasn't sign of a fish. King Eagle
flew up to the limb Of a tree out Of reach
of Buster Bear. just as Buster, snarling
and growing all sorts of dreadful things,
came rushing over.
When Buster could find no fish his first
thought was that King Eagle had some
how got it after all. and this put him
into still more of a rage If possible. But

AS you can see, this fashionable coat
is close kin to the mandarin Jackets
which women have been buying for a
decade or more in the shops which deal
in Chinese garments.
The absence of the sleeves is a fea-
ture that is certainly not oriental The
armholes in this particular jacket are
ornamented with yellow worsted to
carry out the design that filings itself
over the lower part of the coat and the
skirt.
The collar and sleeves of the blouse
are of fine cream muslin. The skirt, of
white linen, is laid in side pleats at
the waist line, and the hem is outlined
with a ladder of yellow worsted, to
match the edges of the jacket.

A Question of Forks.

1t seems a simple matter, but not one
man in ten could tell you off-hand the
correct mode of arranging forks and
knives. for luncheon or dinner. The
hostess whose purse permits the privi-
lege of elaborate entertainment seldom
knows, though she inspects the work
of her butler ever so carefully and
no doubt prides herself on knowing
every important detail of dinner CIV
ing.
Even the woman whose housekeeping
arrangement makes it necessary for
her to set the table" occasionally her
self may be as ignorant of the cor
rect mode of laying cover for a sim
pie family dinner or a formal dinner
party. Her own way she no doubt
considers quite satisfactory, but that
is usually as far as her knowledge on
the subject goes. Though she may
have attended hundreds of perfectly
appointed dinner parties she has not
observed and without consulting an au-
thority she would be unable to say
just how the deed is done.
Present usage says that the forks
should be placed on the left hand, and
these forks usually are three in num-
Der. On the right should be. two
knives, one of silver and one of steel

spoon and then the oyster fork. For
formal luncheon the forks are placed
on the left, the knives and spoons on
the right and the butter spreader across
the bread and butter plate. Or course.
at formal dinners, and frequently at
family dinners as WELL butter is not
served so that makes the butter
spreader non-essential at dinner.
And the coffee spoon for dinner?
That, as well as any extra forks and
spoons needed during the serving of
dinner, is not placed on the table un-
til needed. A supply of extra silver of
this description is kept in readiness
by the maid or man on the serving ta-
Bile and is placed on the cover as
needed.

Stockings for the New
Shoes.

Whoever said that simple footwear
was coming back into fashion was
much mistaken. To be sure, certain
styles of fancy" shoes were marked
down last winter, but other styles quite
as elaborate took their place: and as for
stockings, never before have they been
so varied and so far from plain or SIM
pie.
stockings, colored ones at that, may be
worn, for the price of silk stockings is
soaring by the hour. But just at the
moment silk stockings are made in
hundreds of patterns.
Stripes form the most prominent
stocking decoration or motive. Some
times they are up and down stripes.
sometimes stripes running around.
Sometimes they extend the whole
length of the stocking. sometimes only
half way down or half way up.

NEW EMBROIDERED LINEN SUITS.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.
ial Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. July 27.-Did any one
ever see a season in which there was
such a riot of blue linen as now? One
piece frocks, separate coats, pleated
skirts. street suits, afternoon frocks.
hats and even parasols are made of this
fabric and color.
When the blue is not made drab and
dusty by a mixture of gray it is an
exceptionally good choice for summer
usage. 1t should be the blue of the
sky. which provides good background
for any setting.
The dyers seem to have caught the
right shade in stripes and figures on
a white background better than they
have done in the solid fabric.
Many of the blues that are offered
Nor gowns and suits are just off the
right color. There are some mixtures
that are not successful, and whether
fhat is due to the inexperience of the
American dyers who have been COM
PEELED to face an entirely new problem
since the shortage of German dyes, or
whether 1t has something to do with
the color card which has made these
mixtures fashionable, is not easy to
ind out
When you get white muslin or linen
with a design of blue on the surface
you are almost sure to secure a won
derfully good tone, one that goes with
the eyes and skin and seems to fit in
with the entire color scheme of nature
IN midsummer.
Brought Out by Yellow.
The French designers, aided and
kbetted by the Americans, have put so
much yellow with blue this summer
that the layman begins to like it. One
sees tentative but successful effort
in this direction made by woman
who is not sure of handling large
masses Of color in the yellow organdy
collar that will top a suit or gown
of blue serge or linen.
This collar will be double or triple
minus trimming, and wired to stand
up and out at the back so that it forms
q frame for the head.
80 general has this line of the neck
become that the collar which rolls
over directly from the neck line of the
gown and lies fiat against its surface
has an old-fashioned look. If you are
behind q woman who is wearing this
kind Of collar you feel like running
back and poking it up until it reaches
her hair.
But it is not only in the yellow collar
against blue surface that new combi-
nations Of colors are worked out. On
linen suits there are yellow worsted
that arrest ones attention at first
glance.
France has arranged a cool and COM
Portable short Chinese coat, a jumper
Jacket as 1t were. which is made of
linen and embroidered in yellow. A
