French Dressing.

One Of the best things to use to make
French dressing in il glass bottle that
can be closed securely at the top SO
that the mixture of oil and vinegar
much as a cocktail is mixed. This is
. great deal more effective than mix
ing the dressing with q fork OF spoon.
II you can get bottle with a patent
stopper such as one usually finds on
bay rum or Florida water bottles. you
have the best of all possible French
dressing mixers. with this mixture
can be shaken and when ready to use
the dressing can be sprinkled on the
salad in just the right amount
the next best thing is a bottle with a
ground glass stopper. This can be
well corked and then shaken. OF course
many persons feel that the best way
and many an old-fashioned host would
As willingly relinquish his duty as car
yer at his family board as to omit the
personal making of the French salad
dressing. He knows just how much
salt and pepper and oil and vinegar
should be added. and, mayhap, add.
Just suspicion of his favorite sherry
to give the dressing tone. But this Is an
art that cannot be acquired over night
and far better than to make Indifferent
salad dressing on the table 1t is to
mako 1t In the kitchen by means OF
some device that insures its goodness.
1t would be quite impossible to give
the rules for ingredients for French
dressing. because of the variety Of
tastes in this matter. Speaking in gen.
Civilizations. one-quarter teaspoon of
salt, three shakes of paprika or pep
per and three tablespoons OF oil should
be mixed with ono tablespoon of vine
gar. To this may be added onion juice.
Better. however. IL you like the sug-
gestion Of onion in the salad, to rub
the salad bowl with a little garlic or
onion before putting the salad in 1t.
Sometimes grain or so Of mustard
added with the salt gives tone TO the
dressing.
Here is a suggestion for a delicious
salad dressing that could hardly be
called French dressing. but still is
made In much the same way. Mix a
quarter of a teaspoon of brown sugar
with q quarter of a teaspoon of salt
and several shakes of pepper. Add three
tablespoons Of oil, one of vinegar and
one Of tomato catsup. Shake or
stir until well mixed.

MODISH SUIT FOR SUMMER FABRIC
the waist line in any event retains .
ship-shape appearance rather better
than one OF the conventional coats fas-
teninK with one or two buttons.
The skirt Of summer suit may be
finished at the top with 4 Smart yoke,
or the fullness may be drawn in simply
to the skirt band according to choice.
and choice should, of course, depend
upon the figure Of the wearer.
If developed in white linen, colored
stitching and colored buttons might be
chosen for the suit, but great care will
be necessary when cleaning the gar
ment to keep the thread from running.
Most women realize that dyes are very
uncertain these days
According to present Indications fall
and winter suits for 1918 will fea-
ture distinctly long coats, some Of these
virtually covering the skirt. However,
strenuous efforts are being made to
economize fabrics. and fashions now
outlined may be reversed before the
season is formally on. The severest of
tailored models may appear in first
place. with coats just long enough to
Justify the name.
To make the suit shown in the sketch,
which. II developed in serge or broad
cloth. gahardine, etc, would serve ad-
mirably as an early fall model, five and
half yards of material thirty-six
inches wide will be required
The military leaning in styles wanes
now. but it is predicted that early fall
Will see a revival of the vogue.

A New Taupe Foulard.

The dyers have found out that they
can produce an odd and quite satisfy

upon it black dot, and the dressmak-

gown that is out Of the ordinary.

OF Interest TO Women
SPOTTED FOULARD FOR SUMNER WEAR.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondents of The Star.
NEW YORK. June 25.-Those who are
in Paris and write Of its fashions say
that the entire aggregation of fashion
able women over there are spotted.
They wear foulard with coin dot
on 1t, every possible manner; they
makeS frocks Of It, they trim capes
with 1t. they put crowns of 1t on their
hats, and they wear stockings with
dots.
The foulard itself is in white. cream
beige and dark blue. The spots are
solid. or they resemble the rings OF
Saturn. The weave of this foulard IL
unusually supple. and the sheen OF II
has been taken of. until 1t resembles
all the other dull Il brics which fashion
has made its own.
Foulard With White organdy.
Early in the season. as far. back as
late February, Nine. Jenny OF Paris IN
troduced the dotted foulard gown al
CANDY PEASANTS tunic. slashed at the
sides. belted at the waist and without
collar or cuffs. The edges Of this tunic
were bound with solid silk.
This type of gown did not sell. In
New York the original models have
been offered to people since April for
one-third their price. And yet the Idea
Il good.
Long ago. in that peaceful period on
this planet before wars and the
srumors of wars covered it's surface like
q deadly plague. women wore dotted
foulard frocks with collars and cuffs OF
white organdy. This fashion has been
revived. and the majority of women
like it better than they do the idea OF
dropping a white tunic from collarbone
to knees.
The majority Of the better dress
makers do not approve of an entire
gown in dotted foulard. When they 90
not use organdy or self-colored chiffon
to dull the spots, they combine the
figured foulard with a plain silk. with
wolfe or with chiffon. This Is by Tar
the better adoption Of the material.
A yard or two of polka dots appears
to have been stretched to ten yards or
more when it bursts upon the vision
and therefore the careful handling OF
this particular kind of figured fabric
is highly commended. 1t is well to
have some Of It about the costume just
TO show that you know what's what in
fashion, but be calm and reasonable
when you go to buy 1t and remember
that 1t is even more conspicuous than
metal stamped brocade.

best to be modest.
The binding on the bodice is Of black
velvet ribbon and Is used as substi-

front Of the bodice consists Of a little

The hat that goes with this costume
is Of thin black net, which wells the

sunshade. The crown trimming is
merely a band of black velvet with
large white magnolia at the side.

The Liberty Loan 81 per cent
bonds sold to a new high record Of
l00.24 at the Stock Exchange, while
prices for other securities were for
the most part moving toward lower
levels. The buying which carried the
government issue to a premium of
$40 per $1,000 bond was of the
same substantial character which
has been in evidence for several
DAYS. Announcement of the terms of
the impending per cent issue
helped to stimulate demand for the
old loan. The official statement that
the as are to be subject to sur
taxes and excess profits taxes gives
wealthy holders of the SIS . basis
on which they can decide as to the
advantage of the non-conversion of
the latter or the accumulation of
more. The fact is that many hold
ers, now that they know the new
issue is taxable, are adding to their
holdings Of the tax-exempt Shs.
Another reason for the current de-
mand for the government issue is
that taxes will be assessed In New

ers Of the Liberty bonds on that date
will be exempt from the assessment
