By IRENE eORpONl

("eest Dressed Woman on the STACEY
The evening gown which prefer
above all others is made of black
spangled net There is a fish-tail

to the knees. This overskirt has a
scalloped edge. The bodice is low

like this gown because it is strik-
ingly beautiful, and yet very simple.
The material is rich, but the style is
plain. also like it because 1t makes
me look slim and because the tail
also adds to my height.
The black velvet hat which ! wear
with this gown is as simple IN its
way as is the dress. And yet 1t IS
quite rich and puts finishing touch
~ the whole costume. With this
dress I like to carry black ostrich
feather fan. For jewelry, l wear with
it nothing more than a long string
of pearls. -.

| Other Rumors Run Down
J. T. Garould, director for the Nor

| traced to its source an effort of Ger
man propagandists to discredit the
work of the Red Cross. Many women,
who had made sweaters or socks for
q the soldiers and had attached notes
to the garments received letters, pur'
porting to come from "lumberjacks,'
declaring that they had purchased the
garments from the Red Cross supply
stations.
A packer in one Of the eastern sup
ply depotsn 6f the Red Cross was found
to be responsible for the letters. He
was a strong German sympathizer
When he found notes attached to gar
ments he detached them and mailed
them to his friends, who wrote let
ters to the Red Cross workers, de
claring that they had received the
garments designed for soldiers

COMES RECIPE FOR a.

From the southland comes recipe
for the good old corn pOne. i.
The "innards" Of corn pone, as un.
derstood in the south, differ greatly
from the northern conception as
voiced by the late Bishop Johna Will
liams who thus broke into rhyme in
a Boston newspaper: .t...- ,
"Take cup of corn meal, and the
meal should be yellow H.: p ..
"And a cup of wheat flour to make
the meal mellow,
"Of sugar cup, white or brown at

A writer for a louisville paper, who

the "fallacies that to the housewife!
