'DRESSY' PARIS MODEL

full folds and did not look unduly
"bunchy."
The coatee which accompanied this
costume had one of the new, very full,
basques, and this basque was attached
to the upper portion of the coat under
band of lovely oxidized steel en-
broidery. The same embroidery
formed a high collar which framed the
face and neck and there were bands
on the side pockets which appeared
on the full skirt.
The buttons on the coat were balls
of cut steel and the lining was a
handsome brocaded satin which
showed bright orange designs ON q
dull blue ground.
Shaped and plated basques are max,
ing their appearance on very many OF
the new tailored coats. In some cases
two basques are introduced, one slight.
ly shorter than the other, and these
are effective on tall figures.
OF course basque coat does not
give the long, graceful curve which
was marked feature of last season s
models. We miss the princess out
line indeed we miss it so much that
some of our leading dressmakers
seem inclined to return to it for IA
vorite clients.
1t is all very we'll to follow the fash
ions to a reasonable extent, but when
1t comes to accepting an outline which
takes away from the grace of the fig
ure it is time to call halt"
1t really is true that the more ex.
elusive Parisiennes never accept a
| style which is not becoming to them
individually. They demand, and OBJ
tain, notifications which will make
the coat or dress thoroughly comfort
able and becoming. 1t is only the
weak ones Of the earth who allow
themselves to be driven this way and
that by sensational dressmakers who
care little about beauty but who are
always seeking to advertise them
selves.

NEW FASHIONS in LIGHTS

Novelty is not the chief thing aimed
at in the colored shades; eye-comfort
is far more important. If you are
making or buying a lampshade have it
suit the room in which it will be used
Innings of silk shades may be made
of various tints and textures so that
the light may be subdued on certain
occasions.
Split bamboo, willow rattan and
wooden shades are suitable for the
den and the library, and these are
lined with silk or with rice paper, and
of course Innings may be changed
often
Glass will always be the favorite
material for shades, and it's fragile
tenderness only makes them more
priced. The Japanese, however, be-
lieve in prolonging beauty, so that we
have marvelously lovely shades of
glass and metal called "cloisonne."
Another fancy in shades of beauty are
the silver and glass filigree hoods for
hall lanterns.
If you have not used your best
endeavor to have your home well
lighted, turn your attention to the mat
ter now and make yourself and family
gift Of well-placed, prettily shaded
lamps and lights. Nothing else can
give you more comfort.

SMART IDEAS IN PETTICOATS
Much Attention Is Now Being Paid to
Those Most Important of Un.
der-Garments.

A full taffeta petticoat is pulled into
a haircloth band at the bottom, and is
lined with china silk. 1t has practical
pockets, gathered around cord and
pointed with rosette. 1t is almost
dressy enough to be an outside skirt.
Another petticoat is taffeta-y oked,
with a deep chiffon flounce made to
stand out all around by means of alter
nate rows Of taffeta cording and taf-
feta milliner's folds.
A petticoat to hold out the dancing
frock is made of net, chiffon and crepe
de chine, with reed around the bot
tom. Crepe de chine forms the top,
the body is of net, and the ruffies are
VI chiffon.
Vivid-colored petticoats in emerald
cerise and purple are worn with black
and white suits. Nothing looks so we'll
with shepherd checks as these bright
petticoats. 1t is a mistake to wear a
black and white skirt with a black
and white suit. One kills the other.

When milk, cheese and eggs are in
cluded in the diet the absence of meat
is not felt. Usually the greatest di
gestive troubles come from too much
of the carbohydrates; that is, the
starches and sugars which cause fer.
mentation and intestinal Indigestion.
Indigestion in many cases is simply
lack of eating proper amount of food
and properly masticating it. Glad.
stones thirty mastications to the
mouthful would mean health to many
people if they would follow the prac.
tice faithfully.
Our heterogeneous vegetables, such as
peas, beans and lentils; nuts, such as
the peanuts, are tissue-building foods
and make a good substitute for meat.
The following menus for dinners
will be found very satisfactory: Pea
soup with croutons, creamed celery on
toast, mashed potatoes, radishes, rice
dumplings with cream, crackers,
cheese and coffee.
Satisfy soup, macaroni, white sauce
and cheese, stuffed potatoes, celery
salad, stuffed dates.
Clear tomato soup, cheese GRO.
quotes, baked potatoes, celery, baked
apples with cream.
Tomato soup, whole wheat bread
sticks, baked beans, cold slaw, cream
puffs. coffee.
Cream of spinach soup, croutons,
radishes, mushrooms on toast, cabbage
with rice and cream sauce, baked pc.
tatoes, tomatoes with mayonnaise, ap.
pie pie and cheese.
For luncheon-cream Of tomato
soup, bread sticks, cheese souffle, eel.
cry, apple dumplings with cream.
Bean soup, mashed brown potatoes,
spinach with eggs, brown bread and
fruit.
Corn soup, rice croquettes with
cheese sauce, beet-top greens, cheese
waters and coffee or cocoa.

not strain any muscle unduly.
A harmless laxative and one that
the children will ask for is the follow
ing: Grind q pound each of dates,
raisins and figs with a pound of soft
ened prunes and five cents worth of
SIENNA leaves. Mix we'll and knead
into loaf, wrap in waxed paper and
keep in cool place. For child
piece the size of pecan is sufficient;
adults may take a larger piece. This
will keep in cold place for weeks, is
entirely harmless and much less ex-
pensive than many drugs sold for the
purpose.
Hash RoII.-Take two cupfuls OF
finely chopped meat, one cupful of sea-
soned mashed potatoes, one-half cup,
full of toasted bread or cracker crumbs,
one large onion, chopped fine, one-half
cupful of milk, dash of pepper and
two eggs; mix all the ingredients.
Place in pan whose bottom is COW
cred with creased paper When
brown roll out like a jelly roll. The
paper will assist in this. Garnish with
baked tomatoes, or if one prefers,
stuffed peppers.
Roast Ham With Cider Sauce.-Soak
the ham over night in cold water to
cover. Place kettle with half cup.
full each of sliced onions, carrots, two
sprigs of parsley, four cloves, one-half
bay leaf; cover with cold water and
bring slowly to the simmering point.
Cook four hours, or until tender. After
two hours, add quart of cider. Allow
the ham to cool in the liquor; skim,
sprinkle with sugar and bread crumbs;
put in a few dashes of paprika, stick
in few cloves and bake an hour.
Cider Sauce.-Melt three table.
spoonfuls of butter, add four of flour
and pour on, stirring, two cupfuls of
the ham liquor; add a quarter of a
cup of cidar pepper and salt to taste.
Serve hot with the ham.

Homemaker Has Practically Innumer.
able Ideas From Which to Make
Most Appropriate Illumination.

Almost every woman of every cline
has decided notions about the value
of color and light in her home, for
these things have decorative value
that gives distinction.
The improvements in lighting since
the days of candles have been so many
that no person remembers them all.
Now we have indirect lighting, shaded
lights and lights as soft as candles.
Anti-glare societies are as common
as anti-noise ones and uncomfortable
lights are out of fashion, but lamps
are still in demand and are made with
shaded tops that either cast or relieve
shadows. But they no longer have
chimneys, so they are fitted with what
are called mushroom globes. Through
these the electric light filters soft
ly and gives a suggestion Of coziness
that brilliant light lacks.
If your home is not equipped with
electricity we recommend that you
make study Of the new shades and
new ways of placing lamps and lights
and initiate them as we'll as you can
with the means you have.

Bio Business: Small Returns.

States possessed by. the federal
trade commission show that, exclusive
of banking, railroad and public utility
corporations, there are about 100000
business corporations in the country,
says the Worlds Work. OF these more
than 100000 have no net income what
ever; 10000 more make less than
$4,000 a year, while only the 10000 re-
naming make $4,000 or more. Turning
from net income to gross volume Of
business done by these $4,000 corpora
tions, one-third have sales of less than
100000 a year. another third sell from
100000 to $250,000, while less than
5000 do a gross business of a million
dollars year or more. and of these
only 642 industrial and mercantile cor
porations do an annual business of
over $5,OO00O0.

Taupe-Colored Hats

Taupe-colored straw turbans are
cropping out in multitudes, these days.
The special providence that watches
over headgear has evidently decided
that taupe hats shall be 'the thing"
this spring. The hats are in turban
or small sailor shapes, excessively
chic in line and poise, and there is
only a hint of trimming-a smart
quill, plated ribbon cocade or a
bead or leaf ornament. Millinery rib
bons are being doubled over strips of
a resilient stiffening material, non.
crushable and not affected by the
dampness, and the new hat bows and
cocades are especially crisp and COR
rect thereby.

A Simple Matter.

Girls who are clever with their
