Two white cabbages chopped very
fine and seasoned with a cupful OF
mustard seed and a little salt. Stuff
the peppers full through the holes
through which the seeds were re-
moved and sew up the holes. Pack
the peppers into Jars and pour over
them pure vinegar which has been
scalded with allspice and cloves
enough to make it highly spiced.
Some very good cooks are always at
loss in cooking certain kinds OF
meats, making stews, croquettes and
soups II they do not have a little green
pepper on hand, and though in the
large cities one can buy green peppers
even in cold weather they are high
priced. 1t is good thing to can a few
in pint bottles so that you will have
them on hand when winter comes.
Here is the recipe given by the Ma
tional War Garden Commission:
Wash, stem and remove seeds.
Blanch five to ten minutes, cold dip
and pack in jar. Add one teaspoonful
of salt. Cover with boiling water, put
on rubber top and adjust top bail or
screw top on with thumb and little
finger. Sterilize for 100 minutes in
hot water bath. Remove, complete

PEPPERS GOOD WINTER DISHES

NFORTUNAT peppers can
no longer be picked already
~ picked, as they apparently
could be in the days OF Peter Piper
who picked a peck of them. But they
are we'll worth picking in your own
home and putting away on your thrift
shelf for winter. In the one item OF
pickles and sauces good many fami-
lies spend really considerable amount
of money. Olives and worcestershire,
chutney anC pickles of all sorts that
look SO tempting in their glass bottles
at the grocery shop seem a necessity.
But II you have an equally tempting
array Of sauces and pickles at home
you can resist this temptation easily
and incidentally save a pretty penny.
for none of the ingredients in home
made pickles are very high and they
are fairly easy to manage.
At this time of year or possibly a
little later you can get green peppers
at a low price. Here are some sugges-
tons:

secret to put into your notebook
on conservation: You can trim II with
bands from sweaters that have done
their service and have been discarded.
Startlingly new gowns, showing the
final touch of French artistry, are
trimmed with material that might
once have been turned into sport
sweaters.
And IL you do not like any of these
trimmings you can use wide bands OF
silk plush, Entire gowns are made OF
this material clumsy as this may
seem. The truth is that the weave is
so supple and the surface so silken
that the lines fall closely to the figure

There is forever a standing Joke
among the cynics who decry fashion

cynical jest has become truth. The

which fashion presents.

ORIENTAL FABRICS
ALWAYS SUITABLE
TN the field of dress as well as in

T " the field OF dress as well as in
home furnishing the opinion is
not infrequently expressed that
Chinese or japanese fabrics and de-
signs are suitable anywhere; in fact,
one even goes so far as to say that
Oriental things in general are suitable
anywhere.
An Oriental rug, Turkish or Chinese
or Japanese, is considered perfectly
suitable for the room of Colonial ma
hogany and none the less suitable for
the room that is styled JacObean. A
colorful bit Of Persian embroidery we
would not hesitate in adding to the
color note in almost any room, and a
bit OF Chinese jewelry we would feel
permitted to wear at any time
On the other hand, when it comes to
placing bit of Delft ware or bit
of Dresden porcelain we go slowly and
cautiously. We feel that there are
so many chances of our getting it in
the wrong setting. And the Navajo
rugs that we got in the West-ycs,
they are very good looking but then
there are 80 few places where "A Nav
ejo rug can be used
Well, maybe one reason why we are
so confident of the universal appro-

with them. They appeal to our eye.
We know, and rightly. that most of
the better class Of Oriental goods that
come here are we'll chosen and that
especially designs and fabrics and art
objects from China and Japan OF the
higher price represent an art that is
in many ways in advance OF our
own.
But we don't know what they mean.
Now, honestly, do you? That is. does
any sort OF Chinese pottery strike you
with the same definite significance
and current of associations that "A
Delft tile or teacup does? Can you
place it? Isn't it rather true that all
things Oriental. IL they give general
satisfaction in tone and design, convey

the same flow OF associations? They
may be Chinese or Japanese or Cey-

lightly through the picture on wooden
clogs and perhaps the scent OF sandal

go on as fearlessly for ages for it will

RIGS OF the hour because l believe that
the great masses of women over this

have an expensive dressmaker or a

of fortune favor only the few. The
war has brought about an immense
amount OF home dressmaking, for all
the seamstresses in the world cannot
go into munition factories and earn
large wages. Some of them must
stick to their trade. and those who do
can reap a harvest.

wrong design in the wrong kind OF
frock, if this new fashion persists.
For the Tall, stately Figure.
The right woman, tall and stately,
dressed in sweeping draped gown OF
rose, blue, mauve or gold brocade, will
be the one who will justify the fashion.
There are brocades that are just as
charming on the human figure as in
the drawing room. Let us hope these
will be the ones chosen.
Fashion does not dip into the up
holstery fabrics only when 1t chooses
rich and ornate fabrics for evening
gowns, but it sees in the heavy and
metal galloons, the richly woven pas
sementeries, the nail heads of brass
and cut steel. the narrow and deep
fringes, alluring possibilities for orna-
menting frocks.
The new French clothes are loaded
down with galloons. They are as rich
as they were in the fifteenth century
in Italy and Spain. They are no
longer made of crystals and pearls

Probably the generous usage of fringe
will appeal TO the average woman more
than the introduction OF galloons.
Fringe is bit of barbarism: It goes
back to the earliest history Of man,
and 1t Is part and parcel OF the ap-
parel OF all primitives. BY this token
1t fits in admirably with the introduce
