Pajamas, worn instead of night
dresses, have proved so sensible and
so fetching that they have become an
established institution in the realm of
lingerie. low we accept them as
matter Of course. 1t was because
they proved pretty and fascinating
that they were followed by negligees
that scorned skirts and reveled in
trousers, inviting all sorts of gorgeous
oriental silks and furbelows, to come
and be at home with them. Japan,
China, Persia, Turkey and heaven only
knows what other lands, have been
Sansacked for. Inspirations.
The designers, once having landed
an idea, exploit it to suit themselves.
In the picture a lovely negligee is
shown with Powered satin trousers,
or pantalettes, that are gathered in
about the ankle Over an ivory sur
face, or on any good color background,
bouquets Of flowers In several col
ors are printed on silks that make
these neither garments things Of
beauty. Worn over these there Are
mantelS or jackets or QraperleS OF
georgette or silk, usually in plain
color. In the pictur the over-garment
is rose-colored crepe georgette and it
fastens with silk cord and tassels in
the same color.
Bright green, or black and gold
made up with straight trousers and
short jackets in the fashion of Chinese
costumes, we may pass by. but not
without casting one lingering, longing
look behind. Black satin trousers and
jacket, bordered with gold satin and
embroidered in gold colored silk make
negligees that one will never tire Of.
Vivid and audacious shades Of green
with touches Of brilliant colors in
embroiuered decorations are wonder
full in georgette or in satin. Turquoise
and bluebird are good choices in color,
and then there is gold color and paler

SUBSTITUTES AID

Fish, Cheese, Milk, Eggs, Beans,
Peas and Nuts Are Recog-

ADAPTED TO SUMMER NEEDS
Can Be Combined Into Attractive and
WelI-Seasoned Dishes-Meat Will
Not Be Missed in Hot Weather
Some Recipes.

Many Of the meat substitute dishes
are better suited to summer needs
than the meat dishes that they re-
place. Now is the time to make the
most of them, for meat is scarce and
high priced.
Fish, cheese, milk, eggs, beans, peas
and nuts are recognized as good SUBJ
stitutes for meat. They all supply
protein which the body needs. Used
intelligently they can be combined in
to such attractive and well-seasoned
dishes that meat will not be missed
in the summer meal.
Baked beans which find favor as q
substitute for meat in winter, are not
such favorlte dish for summer, but
lima beans baked with a well-season-
ed tomato sauce make q hearty dish
which many like.
Baked Lima Beans.
Soak the dried lima beans in cold
water for several hours and cook until
tender. Make tomato sauce, using
two cupfuls tomato pulp and juice
strained through sieve. Thicker with
two tablespoonfuls of flour blended
with two tablespoonfuls melted fat.
Season with salt, pepper, and celery
seed. Put a layer of beans in bak-
Ing dish, sprinkle with grated cheese,
and cover with tomato SAUCE. Re-
peat until dish is full. Bake for
about half an hour.

Fish, fortunately, is available I'd

fresh, canned, smoked or sailed fish
can usually be procured. Either

Gamma Kills Food Foes.


Foods decompose or spoil because
they are attacked by living germs,
minute forms of plant life Of the low
est order. Three types of these tiny
organisms-molds, yeasts and bacte-
ria-cause foods to spoil. They are
present constantly everywhere-in air,
water and soil, and on food. All ex-
list in teeming millions, and all except
molds are so tiny as to be invisible
without the aid Of microscope.
The object in canning is first to kill
all the molds, yeasts and bacteria that
may be on the food, and then to seal
the food in germ-free containers, and
seal them so well that no other organ
isms may enter.
Molds thrive in dampness and dark
ness and prefer freedom from cur
rents of air. They require oxygen,
moisture and warmth, and feed upon
sugar and starches. Since they can
grow in the presence Of acids, they
readily attack fruit and tomatoes.
Molds are killed easily by moist heat.
Yeasts are Of many kinds, all one
celled plants, which reproduce by the
growth Of bud on the edge of a
cell. The buds quickly become full
grown and break away from the
mother cells. The use Of yeast In bread
making is familiar. When supplied
with food Tin the form Of sugar.,
warmth, moisture and air, yeasts
grow, breaking up, the sugar and pro.
ducing alcohol and gas called car
bon dioxid.
Bacteria are much more difficult to
destroy than molds and yeasts and
are the chief foe to combat in pre-
serving food. They are one-celled
plants but smaller than yeasts. A
single baeterium may produce mill
lions more In a few hours. Bacteria
require warmth, moisture and food.
Certain species thrive without air.
Since few bacteria thrive in acids or
in the presence of much sugar, their
destruction is less difficult in fruits
and tomatoes than in such vegetables
as corn, peas and beans or in meats,
which Of all foods are the most diff

active growing state can be killed by
moist heat at boiling temperature, but
unfortunately for the Gamer the bac.
terra spores are much more resistant
to heat. All bacteria in the spore
state can be destroyed by temporal
ture Of 240 to $50 degrees Fahren-
heit, moist heat. This temperature
can be secured with steam under
pressure.

One Of the Smart New Wells.

1t was rather wide veil of pref.

the veil and fastened them at the back,
it hung in graceful drapery.
