FOOD OUT OF SEASON.

To many persons straw berries In De-
cember and apples in June are much
more delicious than strawberries in
April or May and apples after frost.
The fact that actually they are not SO
juicy or so favorsome and that they
are almost twice as expensive in the
first case does not seem to detract from
their desirability. The fact that they
are out of season and hard to get IS
what makes them seem SO good.
, Out sea son fruit is becoming moro
and more common, less expensive and
really less of a luxury. Perhaps for
that reason it is not considered so much
of a delicacy as when one had to be a
millionairs to indulge in il. But.
though it is cheaper. it is not neces-
sarily better. The fact is, out-of-sea-
son foods are never at their best. Hon
estly, many of them are not fit to eat
when not in season. Berries are too
acidy to be wholesome, and all fhs
sugar in the larder will not counteract
the acidity of them. Apples are pulpy
and tastelesS when they have been on
hand for many months. Fruits or vege-
Ia bles that must be brought TO your
market from a warmer or colder Cline,

have lost much of their freshness by
the time you get them.
Another very good reason why eat
is because it makes ii seem like an
old story when its season actually
comes. Our appetite has become jaded
and we turn from the fruit vege-
table at just the time when 1t is at
its best
Very few fruits or vegetables are so
constituted that they would satisfy us
twelve months in the year. Peaches
all the year round would become tire
some. If we eat them during n month
| or six weeks We will have really all
we want. And If we choose that six
weeks to be the six weeks that come
before peaches are at their best We
really cheat ourselves.
1t seems as if there is considerable
correspondence between the season of

Collars and Stocks.

The new sport stocks and collars are
decidedly smart and they may turn out
to be as attractive to the feminine heart
as were the lovely bits of white neck
wear that were SO much in vogue sew
eral seasons ago. Many of these collars
are made with deep points that turn
down over cravat or tie. but they are
not pressed down in a decided crease.
There is a sort Of nonchalance about
them that is very comfortable and be-
coming. The tie part of this new col
lar is usually of bright, often of fig
ured silk The points are of white cord
ed silk or linen, or Of pongee or rajah

Miles of Machine Stitching,

Royant is one of the smart French
designers who is strongly responsible
for the ornamentation of gowns by ma
chine stitchery, in imitation of braid
| ing.
This feature is significant touch on
the exclusive gowns and loose cane
coats which have arrived in this coun-
try. The design is taken from old Ital
ian work and Is done in a machine
stltch, dark thread used on a light sur
face, and the other way around.
Persian embroidery is Iavisly used
and the American Indian designs. which
were suggested in this column four
months ago as source of inspiration
10 the original worker, have been taken
up by those in search of novelties.
The interesting development in the
one-pfece frock, outside of its astound-
ing popularity, is the use of a new
quality of crepe de chine and georRette
crepe. 1t is heavy enough to serve
well and to lend itself to the straight
lines of the season.
BY straight lines, one does not mean
that the barrel skirt is not accepted
for 1t is very much in evidence, but
beyond this one twist of the silhouette
fashion calls for everything of impor-
tance to hang straight. Skirts of crepe
de chine, for example, are weighted with
shot placed in the hem to keep them
from flying out and disturbing the
straight line. Coats, bodices and cape
coats that reach to the knees are all
cut so that they will hang as though
they We're dragged down or pulled by
invisible hands. Nothing must fly;
nothing must fare. except on a few
evening gowns which still give them
selves over to vari-colored tulle.
