COOKED CHEESE DISHES.

Cheese is of great value TO the
housekeeeper who plans the family
menus. especially in winter. For then
IL is more difficult to get the fresh
vegetables and fruit that make sum-
mer meals a delight. both to plan and
to eat. and cheese provides flavor to
any meal with which it is served.
1t must always be remembered, Of
course. that cheese provides far more
than flavor. 1t provides much food
value, and gives in another form the
protein which we usually get from
meat. So in serving a heavy cheese
dish, serve with IL salads and fruit
The heavier cheese dishes are espe.
cially useful for luncheon. whereat they
can be the main dishes.

that new gowns are created by the
dozens at that time for exploitation in
the southern resorts of Europe. such as
Biarritz. Nice and Monte Carlo, Cairo
and the Italian Riviera.
After the middle of January and
through the month of March no one
seeks new clothes ideas in Paris, but
looks for them from the terrace of

Since the war. however. there has
been little incentive for the French

France decided that she had neither
the money nor the workers to create

Callot had a regular trade exhibition,
and importers sent over some gowns
from this house. as well as from sew

These gowns have arrived in Amer

Pinehurst to Havana and runs up the
far coast from Santa Barbara to San

1f these gowns have the same sig

other years IL is quite evident that the
lure of the medieval is strong to the
designers. IL is also true that the wom-

has in her possession the evening gowns

Out of the fifteen gowns that Callot
sent to this country last month there
was not a single evening gown that
departed from the method established
by her in drapery and cut. There was
