This model comes from Paris to
show us what the silhouette Is over
there. II Is of yellow chiffon, with
oirdIe of black and gold brocade. The
hobbIe hem Is of broeade, and the side
drapery which gives the oval silhouette,
Is also edged with gold and black.
The bodice is draped In round decol-
Ietaee with long, tight sleeves.
wears one herself. There is nothing
of the roughness and severity of our
ordinary top coat about these gar
ments, either; they are too slim, to
elegant In outline and manipulation
to suggest rough-and-ready treatment,
and yet they are carelessly slipped on
over any one-piece frock which harmon
ICES with them.
The French designers sold the coat
and gown together as costume and
American women are buying them in
the same way, but other women are
buying these separate coats to freshen
up frock or to make 1t warm enough
for the cool days which will continue
They are distinct feature in fash
ion, these coats, and are novelties that
are thoroughly appreciated by the
dressmakers over here. They call for
soutaching or that new kind of ma
chine-work which looks like braiding,
but is done by loose chain stitch.
.Royant was probably the first Of
the designers In Paris to introduce
this elaborate chain stitch on coats,
and the American nachine-workers
do 1t skillfully and turn 1t out by the
hundred yards.
AS means of ornamentation 1t has
crept into many garments besides the
long, slim coat. 1t is put on the front
Of blue serge coats and one-piece
frocks; 1t outlines the cuff hem which
Is so strongly featured on the new
skirts; 1t covers the deep cuff used on
the three-quarter sleeve; and 1t en-
tirely covers the surface of some
sleeves which are put into plain, satin,
cuirass jackets worn over knife
plated skirts. o.

New York.--The substitution Of
vaguely shaped coats over one piece
gowns for coat suits is more generally
accepted by the American women than
one thought possible.
The reasons why France made the
substitution are too well known to re-
peat; but the feeling was that, after
ALL the American tailors were so SUI
perior to the French tailors in their fit
and workmanship, that the American
woman would continue to give her or
ders for mannish coat suits in prefer
ence to any other kind Of street APP
parel. However, as far rs one can
judge of general conditions by the APP
pearance of women ON the streets, the
fashion for q gown with long, loose
cape coat has been accepted.
1t Is very foolish for any woman to
abandon the coat and skirt of mannish
material, made In the conventional
manner, for our life calls for such
clothes, regardless of the fashions Of
any other part of the planet. The
heat, the moisture and our own inces-
SAINT activities during the day make
up a trilogy of reasons why we should
have wash blouse next to the neck,
shoulders and arms during most of
the day.
1t Is all very well to have one
piece frocl with its accompanying
drapery, but it should be the rival of,
and not the substitute for, the plain
cont and skirt to be worn with blouse
that washes or cleans necessarily with
out depreciation.
The fashion for wash frocks will
probably be taken up by Americans
more than by the women of any other
nation for we have always leaned to-
ward Bingham, batiste and muslin of
many kinds. Palm Beach set the fash
ion for these thin frocks by going in
for them most enthusiastically and
keeping them in the realm of simple
ity, instead of allowing them to be-
come the expensive production of or
nate handwork which Paris always
calls by name lingerie frock.
Striped Ginghams Emphasized.
Palm Beach also emphasized the
use of striped ginghams, the kind
which we wore ten years ago and
which we made up in our own sew
Ing rooms by the half dozen to meet
the summers demands. These gowns
are being featured by the smartest
| dressmakers on Fifth avenue at price
that Is out of all proportion to their
value; but the cost of a gown in the
last few years has rarely depended
upon the value Of the materials used.
We have paid for the services of ex-
pert cutters, filters and needleworkers,
plus the cost Of rent, electricity and
| overhead charges.
If the broadly striped glnghams
which are shown in the speciality shops
| become the common property of every
woman, the sewing rooms will be more
busy than they have been for half
! decade, and women will be able to
dress more cheaply in time when,

Soak three cupfuls of kidney beans
over night; in the morning parboil
with four large onions. Put into the
bean pot with pint of stewed toma-
toes, q third Of teasponful of pepper,
tablespoonful each of sugar and salt
and half pound of salt pork. Bury
the beans in the pork and add Just
enough water to cover the beans. Bake
about five hours in moderate oven.
If the onions are not liked, they may
be omitted and teaspoonful of mus
tard added to the sugar and salt to
season. For those who do not care
for the salt pork use q cupful or less
of olive oil, baking them as above.
Club SaIad.-Take one and q half
cupfuls of chicken (cold roasted), ~
slices of cooked bacon, three tomatoes
and lettuce. Arrange the lettuce on
individual plates, place on this q slice
of peeled tomato, then little of the
diced bacon, and spoonful of mayon-
naise dressing; top with some of the
chicken, more mayonnaise and sprig
of parsley. Around each, spoke-fash-
ion, place four or six tiny toast points
for a garnish.
Oatmeal Bread.-Pour q pint of boil
ing water over eupful of rolled oats
and set aside until the mixture is luke
warm; add half cupful of molasses,
a half yeast cake, dissolved in little
lukewarm water, and cupful and a
half of bread flour. When this is light,
add teaspoonful Of salt and enough
-four to make dough stiff enough to
handle. Let 1t rise until double its
bulk, cut down and turn into creased
tins. Let rise again and bake three
quarters Of an hour. This makes two
loaves.

Take a cupful of thick mayonnaise,
six tablespoonfuls of chilli sauce, two
chopped red peppers, half tablespoon
full of chopped chives. Use on pea and
