THE HOUSEHOLD

Edited by Anne KIttenhouse.

Hostesses and hotel managers gem
orally turnout the country-that is.
those who have not always planned
their dinners on strictly temperance
basis-are racKlng their brains for
suitable dinner beverages that contain
no alcohol
If some one could invent cup that
would be a cocktail in taste, but be
guiltless of spirits, he would no doubt
be hailed as a public benefactor by
large number of persons. The trouble
is not so much that people must have
alcoholic beverages, who are used to
them. but that bevera ges that are not
made on this basis are usually insipid.
if not actually sickish. in taste.
Soda water fountain drinks have for
a long time been associated in the
popular mind with nonzalcoholic bev-
erages. Among the beverages that
have been suggested-and are almost
sure to be popular when another sea-
son rolls around and summer demands
for thirst quenchers-are those that
may be classed under the general title
of harvest drinks. They are as an
cient in their origin the most ia
nous of alcoholic beverages, or indeed
much older than the whole tribe of
soda fountain drinks or any charged
beverages. such as ginger ale or sarsa-
parilla. These drinks are for the most
part of inexpensive make, and are
produced from oats. barley and other
grain. unfermented hops, rhubarb and
other succulent plants They were
and still are, for that matter. extern

thirst quenchers during the harvesting

having their own particular drink
which they used for that purpose.
Here is a chocolate beverage based
on an old harvest drink, but not of
great antiquity since chocolate was
not known in Europe until within the
last few hundred years.
1t calls for a mixture of two ounces
of fine oatmeal with two ounces OF

denly appeared i'll evening gowns
and arc sure of acceptance.
New York Nov. 22-It is very in
teresting to hear the important dress
makers of the hour discuss the proba-
bilities of full evening dress for this
winter. At one house which dresses
a number of the ultra fashionable
women who give dances. have boxes
at the Metropolitan and therefore
order a dozen low frocks for each
season, if not more, so few evening
gowns are made that the trade is not
looked upon as remunerative.
In New York, all the set dances
have been Cancelled. Clubs that have
met for decades are dissolved. There
is not a single private ball rising UP
from the horizon of society.
This does not mean that America
will do like France and taboo dancing.
There will be no government edfct
against private or public gayety. We
are too Anglo-SaXon for such an edict,
to begin with, and we are too far away
from the enemy, to end with. We are
not invaded like France, we are not
poverty stricken, we are not IN serious
need of necessities, we still have some
money left to spend after athe tremeh-
dous taxes are taken out, and being
Anglo-Saxon, we insist upon being
amused.
The New Evening Gown.
However, it is quite probable that
there will be no more big entertain
ments of a certain type while the war
lasts Informal gayety will abound.
Private entertainment will not cease.
The opera will be filled to the roof as
usual The theaters are doing a record
business None of this will be changed,
but the gowns of women. for such af-
fairs are -perceptibly changed, so the
designers tell us. Society in New York,
as in other great cities, has not started
yet, but in going about among the
dressmakers to find out what the de-
mand is for the brilliant evening gowns
of other days, the impression is gained
that few will be bought and few will
be worn.
The evening gown of the hour is
what France has decreed as the dinner
gown for Paris. 1t is almost primitive
in it's simplicity, although it is made of
expensive materials and is quite costly.
This frock is made of velvet, satin and
sometimes chiffon. France has put her
entire faith in velvet and crepe Sa tin.
The frock has nothing to fasten it with,
and the sleeves are quite short and cut
in one with the shoulder.
This is a significant feature that
runs thru the whole moving picture of
new fashions. 1t has been years since
this type of sleeve was considered suf-

HOUSEWIFE: When the number
of people seated at the table is small,
the ladies may be served first, begin
ming either with the hostess, or with
the lady at the hosts right. When,
however, there are twelve or fourteen
persons, this order of service might
prove awkward, especially if there is
only one servant; SO the better plan
in such a case would be to serve the
ladies and gentlemen in the order in
which they are seated. The hostess
should not speak to the servant dur
ing the dinner. If she is a perfect
hostess, she will have a perfect serv-
ant, and no exchange of words will
be necessary.
EDITH: You should not go to the

member of your family cannot meet

TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN

No class of people devotes as much

in hair care they find it dangerous to
shampoo with any makeshift hair
cleanser: The majority say that to
have the best hair wash and scalp
slim ulator at a cost of about three
cents one need only get a package of
canthrox from your druggist; dissolve
a teaspoonful in cup of hot water and
your shampoo is ready. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply it to
all the hair instead of just the top of
the head. After its use the hair dries
rapidly, with uniform color. Dam
druff, excess oil and dirt are quickly
dissolved and entirely disappear when
you rinse the hair. After this your
hair will be fluffy that it will look
much heavier than 1t is. Its lustre
and softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth
