Anyone in search of good ideas on
which to model dresses, wraps and
hats could rind no better school of in
formation or instruction than that
found in certain of the plays now run
ming at the New York theaters.
Of necessity stage clothes are apt
to be eXa ggerated in style, particular
ly when they are intended for mu-
steal comedy or an extravaganza.
Nevertheless, they always convey
ideas for dresses that may be worn
by the average woman either in the
street, in the boudoir or at the opera.
In many instances, dresses are lit
orally copied with, perhaps, mere
change in color or in some minor de-
tail to distinguish them from the stage
original. This is not so much COM
pliment to the actress who wears them
or the designer who thought them out
as to the taste and oartorial judgment
of the woman VINO secs in them eX-
quisite knowledge of lines and colors
that she ma adapt for herself
Everyone thinks she is more or less
familiar with what the term pan
nier style" means. AS a matter of
fact, there is no truer pannier type
cxtant thar the little costumes worn
by the Around the Map" chorus. The
panniers are real baskets, made, 1t is
true, of lavender satin, wired TO ex-
tend the top well beyond the hips. and
from this top floats long scarf-Hke
draperies of pale blue chiffon.
The nearest approach to these
which we have had have been the
frocks punched up at the sides Then
there is the hoop dres. worn by Miss
Alder and made of pale blue velvet
trimmed with white fox over pantal-
cites of silver cloth. Already the
pantalette dress has found it's way
into society off the stage.
Miss Georgia O'Ramey, the dis
contonted Lulu of the play, wears
her clothes delightfully."-, if lazily. One
of her gowns is of white malinc, very
simply made in two flounce effect en-
broidered in white crystals and gold
sequins. With this is worn a gorgeous
wrap of yellow velvet, bordered with
fur and lined with imperial blue satin.

A foreman estimated that the
company manufactured at least
800 different varieties of candy.
The boxes looked as IL there were
at least 1000. A veritable heave
for boy.
The third floor is the birthplace
of the household necessity, the
soda cracker. A score or more
different styles of this cracker are
produced on this floor.
Six barrels of flour are mixed
at once in a large mixer. The
dough is then rolled in flat lay
ers about yard wide and cut into
squares the size of the cracker.
The oven contains IL compart-
ments on a revolving spindle.
A baker, known as a peeler,
places these large slabs of dough
on the revolving spindle as 1t
passes the oven door. The crack
er is baked during the revolution
and removed by the peeler's as
sistant. Soda crackers are baked
in the afternoon, while sweet
goods are made in the morning.

flour a day.

he Makes You Hungry to Visit Tacoma Biscuit Plant

Apple blossom cakes will be in
style this spring in homes where
particular attention is paid to
palatable foods.
The new cake is the output of
the Tacoma Biscuit & Candy Co.,
purveyors to the sweet teeth and
particular stomachs of the citi-
gems of the Northwest.
Candies and cakes, so we are
informed, are subject to the
styles, just like clothes and col
lars. To be a successful biscuit
maker, one must be able to untap
new type of biscuit every SO
often. After the biscuit has been
invented, a catchy name must be
fastened to 1t and 1t must be
packed in an attractive box.
Making Candy.
The latest product of the Ia
coma Biscuit & Candy Co., which
has made "Everybody's" brand
famous, is a high grade chocolate
bon-bonn, packed in tin box
ready for mailing. The wrapper
contains a rate schedule and lines
for an address. The decorations
on the Make Her Happy" choco-
lates are pictures of the little girl
receiving the box. All smiles, of
course.
The entire top floor of the
plant, which is four-story struc-
ture, 100 by 1870 feet, is devoted
entirely to the manufacture of
candy.
One side of the immense room
contains the large copper kettles
in which the syrups are boiled.
The candy then rolled on long
tables and cut into the desired
shapes. Chocolates and dipped
candies are taken to the dipping
room which is kept at a temperate
heat by a cold storage system.

Of accommodation against those who

Under Louis XIV the Chinese influence
is stronger than il ever has been in
dress. There is a historical reason for
it. as there always is when France ex-
ploits a fashion. The coming to France
during that epoch of distinguished
Chinese representatives turned the at
tention of the brilliant and extravagant
court toward the colorings OF this
country. The great ladies of France
had their portraits painted in a way
that reflected the Chinese atmosphere.
What was known as the Louis XIV
Chinois style then ruled the fashion
able world.

fashion again. Cabot has always IA
