THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENHOUSE
Supper at Night.

The plan of having supper at night
and dinner in the middle of the day
which is of course Quite the universal
custom among our American rural
populations being adopted by city
folk more and more as days of the war
go on. What earthly connection can
there be between midday dinners and
world wars? Well, it is all anent the
food situation. and the shortage in
household labor. In England lots of
people are helping solve their prob
lem that way and it is said in many
of the households of prominent Eng
lish aristocracy the evening supper
and hearty midday meal have been
adopted.
In the large cities people who run
eating places for business men and
women have learned that this innova-
ton is coming about in many city and
suburban homes. In one New York
eating place in the heart of one of
the busiest sections there used to be
quite a demand for a so-called light
lunch. Two lunches were served there.
one consisting of soup. meat, potato
and vegetables and a DESERT YER
liable dinner-and. the other was a
meal consisting of a combination salad
of some sort, bread and butter, bev-
erage and dessert, obviously the kind
of meal that one would take when a
hearty dinner was to follow at night.
L mere uSSQ 10 De d dig demand Tor
this lighter lunch, but now there is so
little that it is not worth preparing
The obvious conclusion must be that
more people are depending on their
midday meal for their dinner and hav-
ing supper when they reach home.
In households where there are chill
dren the advantage is obvious, for the
child brought up according to Hoyle
never has hearty meal at night, and
under the. old system one had to have
two dinners at noon. Now the mother
her children, sure that the man of the
house when he returns will be salts
ned with light supper. If there has
been a curtailment of domestic help
this is especially desira Bile. One needs
no waitress to serve a supper and the
dishes are easily cleared away after
wards. If one does ones entire work
then the supper is a pleasing, for all
cooking can be disposed of early.
OF course, there are obvious disad-
vantages. and there are some persons
who never could accustom themselves
to this arrangement. In city life the
advantages of the night dinner must
be many or it would never have come
into such universal favor. Then, of
| course, there are persons who feel
drowsy and indolent after a hearty
noon meal and feel their efficiency de-
creased thereby. But at least it is one
way of helping solve the domestic
problem, and it is one worth consider
ing as war measure.

Children Indulge in PinafOres Until
They Are Tall Enough to Wear
Coat Suits, but Even Tiny Young
sters Have Departed from the Uni
versal White, and Adopted Colors.
New York-Did the war change
children's clothes? Perhaps. Some
force has changed them.
Traditional white has given place to
coIors; traditional muslin has given
place to wash satin, crepe de chin
and Georgette crepe; lace has given
way to fur; buttons have given way
to embroidered eyelets and colore'
cords.
These drastic changes may not have
been noticed by the average woman.
who has not taken the trouble to find
out that children's clothes undergo
significant revolutions. They do not
change from month to month, it is
true, but they drift firm one scheme
into another, and no one knows who
is responsible for each change as it
appears
American women do not like to feel
that the French have taught them
anything in juvenile clothes, for they
do not consider that French children
are dressed in good taste. And yet
there are few movements in children's
clothes in this country that did not
have their source in Paris. This is
true of all apparel. 1t may not be after
the war is over. but it probably will
be. As long as Paris remains an art
center of the world, just SO long will
America go to the Communicated for
help. She may modify, adopt and
establish a host Of by-products, but
the initial inspiration is Paris.
Paris Sends CoIored Juvenile Clothes.
It is undoubtedly a combination of
Paris inspiration and. the war in
America that has curtailed the stu
pendous usage of white muslin and
linen for children in this country and
replaced it with crepe de chine, thin
satin, Georgette crepe and other fab
RIGS that are worn by adults.
White is an extravagant color and
muslin is an extravagant' fabric in
war time. When the two are COM
bined there must be dozens of frocks
ready for usage, and the laundry bin
scars high. especially in warm weather
We cannot afford starch, laundry bills
or a reckless use of cotton and linen
during the war. Therefore, it is wise,
as well as fashionable, to put children

if not chance will force this fact upon
mothers. This is noptime for heaping
baskets of little white frocks, with
fluted frills or carefully pressed lace
ruffles and tucks.
In addition to the adoption Of color
and other fabrics than muslin and
linen, there has come about a prevail
ing choice for the. pinafore. Tall, slim
girls wear it until one feels that they
will step into their mothers coat suits
the next week.
The pinafore is in the entire scheme
of apparel these days, so it is quite
fitting that schoolgirls should wear
it as we'll as their nursery sisters.
There is a belt of ornamental stuff,
or the little garment may hang
straight from the shoulders.
Pale Gray for Children.
Among the prevailing colors that are
used for children's frocks is pale gray.
1t is not the perisha BILE pearl tint; it is
a sturdier gray that does not fade in
the sun. It is used in crepe de chine,
in taffeta and in satin. 1t Is exceed
ingly good for summer weather in the
crepe de chine.

BISHOP BREWSTER
PREPARES PRAYER

New York, April 19.---A special
prayer for the dumb animals suffering
in the war is to be made on Sunday in
the Episcopal churches. It is the first
time a plea of this kind has been
made. At the instigatipn of Mrs.
James Speyer, president of the New
York Women's League for Animals,
a short petition, for use in the litany,
has been written by the Right Rev.
DIR. Chauncey B. Brewster, Bishop of
Connecticut. 1t reads:
I'VE beeseech Thee to hear US,
Good Lord, that it may please Thee
to show Thy compassion upon horses
and other dumb animals suffering in
this war. We beseech Thee to hear
US, Good Lord"
This Sunday observance will mark
the close of the BE Kind to Animals
Week. The American Red Star Re
lief Association has forwarded to
General Pershing two motor anbu-
lances.
Mrs. Speyer yesterday made public
the annual report of the Women's
League, including an account of the
work done at the free hospital and
Idispensary, $50 Lafayette street. A
feature of the work in the extreme
cold of the winter was the distribu-
ton of warm garments to needy driv-

THE PEACH CROP.

This report is the first estimate
made by the Bureau of Crop Eesti-
mates indicating strictly commercial
peach production, and is the fore
runner of similar reports to be issued
from month to month.
Attention is called to the fact that
the above estimate is based upon con-
ditions the first Of April. Early
peach reports may be exceedingly
temporary. Peach orchards through
out the northern states are generally
reported as having suffered from Sc
we're winter injury.
The southern commercial peach
crop, including the crop from Georgia,
Texas, Arkansas, and all other south.
ern states, is estimated at 4,688, 900
bushels or 1,140,000 more than in
1917, an increase of "a per cent. not
withstanding the very light crop in
Arkansas.
The northern commercial crop in
Guiding the Michigan, Ohio, New
York and New England crop is esti-
mated at 1,945, 900 bushels or 2,4S1,-
900 less than last year, a decrease OF
SIS per cent. as compared with last
years crop for this district.
