Perfection Salad

"I have read with interest and a little

recipe for perfection salad, and If there

velope of gelatin, half cup of cold water,

lemon, half cup of sugar, two cups of
celery cut in small pieces, quarter cup of
gelatin i'm cold water five minutes; add
vinegar lemon juice, boiling water, sugar

NEGLTGEE MAKING
FROM DANCE FROCKS
Ingenious Method Followed by
Many Girls to Utilize Dis
carded Evening Gowns

Many girl who claims she isn't inter
ested in sewing enjoys making dainty
bits of hlmy negligee for herself, because
the prices charged for the same in tho
shops is. alas. too frequently, beyond hei
slender purse one of the most ingenious
"stunts" of very ambitious young lady
is to make stunning negligees, matlnees
or "just plain" lounging robes out OF hef
discared evening gowns.
The idea isn't new one, by any
means, but there is always an original
way to dress up an old idea, so that the
appearance is novel; at any rate.
A pretty style is shown in the tllustra-
tion developed in tones OF hesh PINK
chiffon, with a shadow-lace over-drapery.
The chiffon comes by the yard, or may
be the leftover from too-narrow-to-pe-
fashioned evening frock The bottom,
which might have become bit ragged
from high heels catching in the thin ma
terial is ceverly hidden by soft ruitle.
Since short skirts are the rage, the gown
may be made as far from the ankles as
the fair wearer chooses.
Strips Of plain pink-satin ribbon are
seen falling from the Empire waistlinc
to good effect. The style is quite new
and claims Partisan origin.
The pannler effect at either hip is smart
and shows the lace up TO advantage,
without necessitating much cutting OF
fitting. The bodice has a metallic lace
bow at the front and French roses.
This little gown, so elaborate when
made UP. may be easily planned ana ex-
ncuted at home. The results are far more
effective than one would be inclined to
especially If ones talents in the
sewing line are doubtful. Try IT, girls
you'll need a nice negligec when you go
away on your next weekend trip
