4 Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
1t has been a very interesting thing
in the fashion world, to see how quickly
women took to evening dress. the minute
the announcement came that the war was
over. Had the stage been set ready
for the announcement, the time could not
have been more opportune for the good
of those who earn their daily bread
by making clothes for the smart set.
Nor could 1t have been a better time
or the women than this, just as the
winter season was about to start and the
opera to open its doors for a brilliant
program of music.
There had been quite q controversy
up to the time of the great news as to
just what kind of costumes would be
worn for the opera. AS you know, eve
ming attire had. during the last year be-
come an unknown quantity. Most of
those who have always been devotees
of the opera saw much of its charm
gone. without the regal clothes which
for SO long had been a tradition. All
this worry for naught, for not only are
the women wearing evening attire. but
most gorgeous affairs at that Nothing
shows which way the wind is blowing
more than the recent announcement in
an authentic trade column. In this
outline of trade. 1t was stated that the
biggest sellers in mems goods were
evtning clothes.
While most people have always liked
&c "dress up at this time there seems
to De more zest and interest in clothes
than ever before. 1t is like everything
else. dressing up is more appreciated
now because the pleasure has been
denied so long. AS I stated before, the
evening gowns are lovely. Possibly
stately is more descriptive of the type
Of evening dress now in fashion. The
lines of the gowns are long, with large
percentage trained. Tie preference in
materials appears to be velvet. metal
brocades and satins. The majority are
black, or black and white, or black and
gold. Jet and tulle are featured as
trimmings.

Of this or that and l am at a loss

The French housewife could tell
you how to make fifty or more dishes
with just spoonful of this or that.
Food has always been a real COM
modify in Europe, and the frugal
housewife frequently must connive
meal from things that we Ameri-
cans throw away. Also, she will
scrape with a spatula every bit of
food from it's container. Take, for

them.

and add the balance of the ingre-
dients to the pea puree. Bring to a

son with salt and pepper and serve

bread cut in half-inch blocks.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE BOY
WHO WON'T STA Y IN SCHOOL
Here Is the Case One in the First Year High Presented by His
Sister-Sha He Be AHotVed Stop and Go York Be
Forced % Remain in the Classroom?

WHAT is to be done with the boy OF
w fifteen who refuses to take any
interest whatsoever in his schooling
and wants to leave and go to work?
A reader puts this matter graphical
ly before us.
Her letter follows:
I am coming to you for advice on
subject which is little uncom.
mon on your page, but, neverthe'
less, l feel sure you can help on 1t
as well as on others.
l have a fifteen-year.old brother
who Is becoming hard to manage
with reference to what we think best
for hink For instance, we heard
lately that he has been playing pool
in the public poolrooms, and to be
certain that he did play, went my
self to the poolroom yesterday,
walked in and found him taking part
in game. Now, as you may know
the youngest lawful pool age is
eighteen, and we could, no doubt,
prevent him from playing by mott.
Tying all poolrooms to keep him out;
but do you think that would be the
right plan to take? 1 do not believe
it would do any good for us to- talk
to him about it and I am little
afraid II we would force him to stop
he might get into something worse.
Another question 1 want to ask
your advice on is regarding his
schooling. He Is now a freshman
in high school and learns fast VIII n
he applies himself to his studies. At
the end of last term, when he finish
ed the grammar grade, he told rs
that was az far as he intended 20.
ing in school, but we are determined
and would so like to see him 20
through high school. After using
every othe~ method to start him this
term father told him he would
either have to go to school o. get
out" He and boy chum did at
tempt to run off to one of the large
cities and get work. thus to get out
of school. but they were taken up in
the city on the charge of running
Off" and thev came b'c'e homo and
were made to enter school. Now, at
frequent intervals, he troubles us to
quit and go to work, but as he
does not have to work as far as the
, financial part is concerned. we are
still forcing him to school. He hates
his studies. he saws, and his profess
sN- tolls m" he does not STUDY in
school and he is at loss to know
what to DO with him. He is a ~nthor

matters. He ia not really a bad boy
at heart. is honest in his dealings
and quite well liked. but he is Just
at the ave whn~e he THINKS he is
capable Of judging for himself in big
matters ns w"ll as small. We want
him to have his "fnn." do not wish
to restrict him too much, but do
so want him to orow up a clean.
