full Chinese gown yet seen in modern
costumery. II was especially made for
Florence Walton.
The chrysanthemum gown, sketch
of which Miss Walton gave exclusively
to this department and which cannot
fail to be of significance to those VINO
are building up Chinese gowns for
modern wear, is made of orange net
and crystals. with the chrysanthemums
in white. The deep orange is exactly
the Chinese color worn so much in that
land of plum blossoms. The embroid-
cry. which is done in crystals and silk,
is copied from veritable French handi-
work. The bodice has shoulder bands
of crystals arranged in novel way:
with fat caps to 1hatch on the top of
the arms. supporting the pendant
sleeves. In front of the bodice. as an
ornament. is a great chrysanthemum
in Jewels.

Special Correspondence of The star.
NEW YORK, February LIT may
appear commonplace to many to harp
on the Chinese touch. which is not
creeping. but leapinE. into our costum-
cry, but if any one lives in a great CEN
ter and goes around among important
clothes, and sees the ingenuity and ar
tistry employed to get the Chinese
touch the subject appears most inter-
esting.
1t is the really new influence, calling
forth ingenuity which we have had in
costumery for several years. The Rus
sian and the oriental suggestiveness
was obvious. We did not go far into
tie Russian phases of dress. Our de-
signers left thousand and one things
untouched. The Russian blouse, the
infrequent Russian boot and the too
frequent Russian turban formed the
trilogy that expressed the Slavic idea
in our winter costumes.
Even the presence of the Russian
this country did not penetrate into
modern fashions far enough to produce
in them an unusual combination of col
ors or brilliant originality in cut and
ornamentation.

City's Pine Supply Short.

To aid in meeting a portion of the
demand for pine wood in the city the
dealers are now securing it in small
quantities from the surrounding coun-
try and are having it brought in by
wagons to the yards along the river
front. The receipts just now fall far
short of the demand, it is stated. In
all the harbors along the river vessels
are lying ready to load the wood as
soon as there is any probability of
their being able to move with their
cargoes. This is the first winter in
many years that the wholesale wood
yards have been so nearly cleaned up
as they are now.

Leftover Vegetables

There is a knack of serving leftover
vegetables so that they are attractive.
The hotel and restaurant bills of fare
give suggestions for the home cook in
the service of several sorts of vegeta-
bies In one dish. To be sure, the hotels
and restaurants don't serve vegeta bles
together in order to use up yesterdays
leftovers in an appetizing way, bu. the
idea they give is an economical one
just the same.
Here is a way to make dozen stalks
OF asparagus do for half a dozen per-
sons. Heat the asparagus and have
ready little well-seasoned white
sauce, Peel a large white potato aud
with an apple corer make a hole
twice as large as the hole you would
make in removing an apple core. Slice
the potato in inch-thick slices and fry
in deep hot fat. Drain the rings, sprin-
kle with salt. put two stalks of aspara-
gus through each ring and serve witt
a spoonful of white sauce. This vege-
table dish will make an effective gar.
| nish for steaks or chops
If you have lima beans, spinach an,
| caulifower all on hand at the SAM
| time you can serve them all togethel
without any eXcuse-that is, simply
| heat them all. make a mound of spin.

little melted butter. Sprinkle will

vegetables in this way. The thing tt

addition of tomato sauce. Carrots. and
turnips cut into dice, shredded string
beans and peas can all be served to-
gether either in the form of salad or
with cream sauce as hot vegetable
dish. If they are served as salad
the effect is far better If little mound
of each vegetable is placed on each
vegetab BILE leaf The whole should be
dressed with a well seasoned French
dressing. Diced potatoes or beets can
be added to this salad combination.

NOT To Be 0BEYED
ONE LAW WILL NOT BE EN-
FORCED BY ATTY GENERAL.

There is at least one law upon the
statute books which it is safe to pre-
dict will not be enforced by the at
torney general or anybody else.
1t is II. F. 131, passed by the last
general assembly and signed by Gov
ernor Harding. 1t will become a
law July 4.
Originally the law was good
one, as introduced by Representa-.
tive Arch McFarlane, and passed by
the house. The senate got to tin
kering, ghowever, and by an amend
ment made the bill require exactly
what was originally intended to pro-
hibit.
The law as drawn by McFarlane
prohibited the use of automobile
headlights which threw beam more
than AZ inches above the level of
the road at a distance of rs feet from
the front of the car.
This was intended to prevent the
binding of vision of drivers of other
cars by glazing lights.
Inc S6UdIt, HO"SNef, ny duueHulhS
the law, made it read that no lamp
may be used unless "the same shall
be so designed or arranged that the
directly DETECTED and undiffused
beam of such light shall rise above
~ inches from the level surface on
which the vehicle stands"
That is, any automobilists whose
lamps illuminate the ground or the
zone between the ground and dis
lance of AZ inches from the roadway
would be subject to penalty under the
law.
This will be the law in Iowa after
July 4, and automobiles are all go
ing to be lawbreakers whenever they
light their lamps. for no headlight is
of value unless it is permitted to
illuminate the roadway.
