A Sign of Change.

| wonder il this means that fashion
is suddenly to change it's method of
fastening gowns? Now that we have
established the comfortable method of
hooking or buttoning ourselves up the
front, do we have to go back to the old.
irritating, exhausting process of put
ting the gown together in a straight
line from neck to waist?
For the last three years the blouSeS
that fastened down the back were sold
at an absurd1y low price on the cou1-
ters. because women made a demand
for the other kind: loose frocks over
times fastened in the back. il they were
for evening wear, but even in this
case there was nothing to try the
nerves and wear the temper to ragged
edge in the method of fastening.
The comfortable assurance concern
ing these new gowns is that the bodices
are loose. They look as though they
might be slipped over the head like
sweater. The fastening in the back
presents no strain on the temper or
the fingers; there are no hooks and
eyes. but plain buttons and large but-
tonholes regularly placed well apart.
1t is well for those who watch straws
to pay attention to the latest caprice
from France, for it may be a sure sign
that fastening will shortly change. An
afternoon gown of distinction and a
sport suit of high fashion. each fasten-
ed down the back without any attempt
to disguise the buttons, are surely OF
to those who see a change
before it comes over the horizon.
There have been seen at every pub
lie place certain French women noted
for the clothes they exploit. attempting
10 bring in the round bodice fastened
at the back-not the pointed. boned.
evening bodice with the straps over
the shoulders with which we have be-
come so familiar since the Louis Qulnze
fa shions swung into the circle of popu-
larity. but the childish blouse with
straight up and down lines that reach
below the hips, or the round. partly

Small Cakes Made at Home.

1t is better to select a cake mixture
that is not too rich and to add the
richness in the way OF frostinE and
trimming to the cake, as an extremely
rich batter makes a cake that crumbles
and is not easy to frost. Then you will
need set of patty cake rings OF the
smallest size. Half OF the small cake.
should be baked thus and the other
should be baked in square tin and
cut up into small squares or diamonds
later.
In selecting the patty tins 1t is bet
ter to get those with a perfectly smooth
edge. as those that are much nuted
simply complicate the task Of getting
