had arranged for metal embroideries;
and it was too late to change their
plans when the war broke.
Now, it may be that the reason
these brilliant colors have not been set
set aside in favor of white, black and
gray, is that France has not had much
that was new in the way of fabrics
since the war began, and America has
used up her time in producing stock
fabrics in conventional colors.
Black Creeps Into Fashion.
Cloth suits for the street have been
in every color except black for three
years. This is a rare occurrence.
Thousands of women have always
chosen black cloth of some kind for
a conventional street suit, without
even caring to investigate into the
realm of color for a change, but even
conventional women have for the last
three years given up their choice of
black and accepted dark gray, purple,
blue and mixed worstedS.
There are women well over 40 wears
of age who have accepted the fashion
for killed skirts of Scotch plaid with
short black coats trimmed with col
lars and cuffs of plaid. And yet, two
have been shocked at the suggestion
that they apparel themselves in so
conspicuous manner.
House gowns, evening gowns and
one-piece frocks for the street or for
restaurant wear, were chosen in any
color but black, but surely if slowly
the French acceptance of black dur
ing the last two years has found it's
way into American fashions.
Touched with Embroidery.
Wherever one goes to see smart
women foregathered, one is struck
with the gradual increase in the wear
ing of smart black clothes. One-piece
frocks of wolfe, chiffon, satin and jer-
sey are more frequent than they have
been for several seasons.
All of these black gowns are enliv-
ened with white, cream or ecru lace
and here and there. there are flashes
of bright embroidery, sometimes done
in metals, again in colored silks.
Chainette stitching and intricate de-
signs in soutaching also brighten up
the dead black surface.
The sketch shows a black gown
which has a vest of white Paris mus
fences in the face. At its base there
is gay little cravat of geranium col
/ cred velvet.
In order to give more brightness to
the gown, there is a flat piece placed
across the front of the waist-a pre-
vailing fashion, by the way-made of
black cloth covered with a primitive
design in silver thread. This en-
/ broidered tab extends below the waist
line and keeps the frock from having
any curve from shoulder to ankle.
There are other black frocks on
which there is a shawl drapery OF
cream colored Honiton lace that goes
over the shoulders like a harness
| drops down to the girdle, which is
also of the lace and, passing around
the figure, ties with sash ends at the
back.

Mayor Faces Trouble.
Mayor Thompson faces trouble
from several directions. The state
council of defense believes he is guilty
of criminal action in overriding Low

formally preferred.

June sun flirting with every perfect
tree at the same time? Who doesn't
love a baked apple, too-a big, red,
juicy, baked apple like a melting
island in a sea of cream? The Nova
Scotians assert that there are no
apples to compare with theirs, be-
cause the salt air gives them taste
that no inland-grown fruit can boast
of.
Apple growing is a good PROPOSE

The best thing we housewives can do
about it is to rid ourselves of preju-
dices and use whichever sort is most
available and cheapest at the time we
need it.
Just to prove to yourself that there
is no very great difference in the Two
sorts of meal you might consult the
Farmers Bulletin on cornmeal and
there look at the table that gives the
figures showing the average compost
ton of various corn products. There
you will find that white meal con-
tains per pound just 1850 calories ard
that yellow meal contains per pound
just 1880 calories, too. The only diff
ference seems to be that the white
meal contains an almost fnconsid-
cradle amount more of crude fiber,
very little more fat, and an inconsid-
cradle amount more of protein while
yellow meal contains a tritle more
water, starch and sugar. But it all
comes to the same amount Of cal
cries, and whether or not we know
what calories are we do know that
calories are what we want when we
buy food.
So far as flavor goes there may be
some difference, and for some reason
or other white meal has a milder
taste then the yellow meal. But
speaking of the color of meal, did you
ever know that there was a red corn
meal, a black cornmeal and a blue
cornmeal, all of which have some
popularity in certain parts of the
country? In localities where the early
Spanish influence was pronounced
as in certain parts of the southwest,
these more vivid sorts of cornmeal
have popularity. But they are corn

stead of the higher meals in any re-

A motor trip through Nova Scotia
is an ideal summer holiday. The
little towns nestle into their orchards
like a violet under its leaves; the
sparkling basin is an infinitely ex-
tended, sun-warmed bathing beach;
all the farmhouses are painted white,
and, as there are no factories, they
stay that way, looking ike stage
scenery against the vivid green
country And finally, there is all the
game and all the fishing you'd want
in the rough country over South

comment of those who study clothes
that the world war did not bring
about a preference for black in any
country except France. In England
and in Germany, those who were not
in mourning still chung to bright col

American women into colorful chan
nels of dress, and the red, blue, yell
low and green that has dominated our
costumery for three years has been
remarkable bit of psychology.

Yellow or White.

Now that we are urging each other
to use cornmeal as a substitute for
wheat in order to do our share to-
ward solving the food problem, this
question often comes up: What is the
difference between white meal and
yellow meal? Can the one be substi-
tGted for the other in receipts?
The chief difference actually seems
to be that southern housewives swear
by the white mean while those of the
north naturally refuse anything. but
