Treat Blue Serge in Various Ways.
Blue serge is fabric that will al
ways be with us, as far as the mantl-
facturers and the war board can lool;
ahead.
1t is usually midnight blue, and,
given few yards of it in this color,
the designers do not want to sit down
and turn it out into insignificant
frocks and inconspicuous suits.
A woman who came to a defense"
luncheon one day wore a blue serge
gown that was the product of clever
designer and it surely turned our
ideas about suits topsy-turvy.
The coat was split up the back as
well as the front. 1t was worn ever a
long cuirass blouse, the kind that
gains in Importance every day. The
blouse was made Of richly enbroid-
cred tricot in blue, black and dashes
of dull red. 1t did not cling tightly to
the figure, but outlined it more than
usual. Over it hung the loose blue
serge coat, opening In deep Y i'm the
middle of the front and the black. 1t
was closed at the neckline and had q
collar of the serge. There was a loose
belt of the material, and the skirt
was exceedingly narrow and short.
By the way, it is wise for any wom
an who orders a new suit today to see
that the skirt has a sizeable hem, for
the new order to the shoemakers,
given by the government, which de-
mands low shoes for the duration Of
the war, may change the skirt length.
I doubt it. The length may be
|
the low shoes, for CATERS, which are
made of fabric, may be as high as
desired, and women, prefer them to
high boots.
We may also adopt the French fash
ion of wearing serviceable Oxford ties
with straight heels and rounded toes.
The bootmakers say they have more
orders for these today than ever With
such shoes the average woman does
not care whether her skirt is eight
or ten inches from the ground, unless
she is given to suffering from exposed
ankles.

Management of Black Taffeta.

EACH HAD AWFUL THOUGHT
Dancing Partner Of Jaekies Feared

This Is true story. 1t occurred at
a dance given Cor certain boys in the
naval reserve.
While dancing with one of the jack-
les, n certain young lady had a hor-
rible sensation that her petticoat wai
coming down. She excused herself,
went TO the dressing room, and Sc
cured the garment with an extra safe
ty pin--thOugh 1t showed no signs of
being loose from its moorings.
Then she danced with another sail
or--and had the same disconeertlng
sensation. She fed to the dressing
room again. This time, several other
girls were there-each with the same
end I'm view. II took some time TO
solve the mystery. You see. the SEN
sation had been caused by the bottoms

a Cheerful Heart.

One of the duties lying upon every
man these days is the duty Of max
ing a cheerful heart radiate itself in
a bright and smiling face. The man
who goes round with dolefulness and
pessimiSm written upon his features
is a traitor to his country and an
enemy of his fellows. Of course a
man cannot have the hopefulness on
his face that his heart does not feel,
but it is not so impossible to grow
hopefulness as it sometimes seems.
The man who is taking his part in
life, doing heroically and faithfully
the duties that come to him, and who,
because of that, has a wholesome
faith in God and in man. can keep a
cheerful heart even in day like this.
1t is an old and homely truth, but one
that never wears out, that duty well
and faithfully done gives life its
truest zest, the face its brightest
smile. and the heart it's most abiding

New Styles Out
of Old Fabrics

New York.-Paris is never handi-
capped in creating fashions by the
actions of other designers. That is
why she is powerful. America has al
ways suffered under this handicap be-
cause she has followed Paris, asserts
a prominent fashion authority. She
has never been inclined to risk the
exploitation of fabrics, fashions and
colorings that were not sponsored by
the mother Of fashions.
1t is said of US that we acknowledge
the best in every nation and bring it
to our shores. We know the best in
every department of art, science and
literature. If we are compelled to put
our knowledge to practical use, we at
least have the best to go on. We are
not ignorant.
The time has come for this expert
ment, as we all know, and the observer
thinks that a few medals Of honor
should be distributed to those who
have gone "over the top" in designing
clothes in this country. It took great
commercial courage and it required
sound knowledge of the American
public.
What France Did America Does.
Here are two anecdotes which ac-
centuate the point. They happened a
dozen years apart. Nine. Paquin saw
several bolts of checked silk in a man
ufacturer's hands. Neither the weave,
the coloring nor the design was in
fashion, to quote her own phrase. The
manufacturer complained that he had
no call for this quantity of material
and that he would sell it for about
franc and half q yard. Nine. Pa
quin took it all, went to her salons
on the Rue de Ia Paix, turned the
| cheap check silk into an alluring frock
| of her own design, and then wore it
at Trouville-by-the-Sea. She made the
/ frOck, the design, the color and the
/ fabric fashionable. Everyone wanted
TO wear what she wore. She sold
every inch of the material at a price
that brought her unmeasured profit
on the transaction.
Last month an American designer
was looking over the stock of lace
importer. Nothing new" said the
importer. Here I am held up with
about fifty Spanish lace scarfs which
1 bought at a venture, thinking could
distribute them in the trade in Amer
lea, but no one took them. The one
answer was that they are not in
fashion"
The designer said that if the i'm
porter would give him one he would
turn it into a gown that would sell
all the other scarfs, on condition that
he received a commission on their sale
The bargain was closed. The gowI
was designed. 1t sold Immediately
1t was copied so fast that the Othel

soap in hot water. Spanish lace wa
offered as a first fashion.

Hnney in Place of sucar.

The simplest way of using honey is
to serve it like jam or sirup with
bread, breakfast cereals, boiled rice,
pancakes, and other mild-favOred
foods. AS ordinarily used on bread,
an ounce of honey spreads" as many
slices as an ounce of jam. When it
is to be used in the place of sirup
some people dilute it by mixing it
with hot water, which has the effect
of making it not only less sweet but
also easier to pour.
Honey or a mixture of honey and
sugar sirup can be satisfactorily used
for sweetening lemonade and other
fruit drinks. Sirup of any kind is
more convenient for this purpose than
undissolved sugar, and when charged
water is to be added it has q further
advantage, since it has less tendency
to expel the gas.
The fact that honey consists prin-
cipally of sugar and water and is
slightly acid suggests that it is a suit
able substitute for mOlasses in cook
cry.

The skirt was made of narrow

United States did not produce all the
dairy products used in this country,
and now, with the cessation Of prac-
tically all importation of these food
stuffs, we are called upon to export
large quantities of milk, butter, and
cheese to feed our allies and our
soldiers in Europe.
The sharp rise in price Of milk,
rise due to the increased cost Of pro-
duction, has resulted, in our large
cities, in diminished use of milk,
and has greatly disturbed the regular
supply of milk for the city trade.
One way in which the price of milk
can be controlled is by reducing the
cost of distribution or at least pre-
venting its increase. Fluctuations
in the demand for milk, or dimin-
ished use of milk throughout the
country, will inevitably result in a
lessened production and decrease
of the dairy business.
The destruction of the milch cow,
the loss of our herds at this critical
period, would be calamity of far
reaching consequences and one from
which the Nation would slowly re-
cover. The herds Of the Nation
should be carefully augmented and
the milk production per capita ac-
tually increased, since in peace times
the United States produced no more
and even less milk than that re-
quired for the maintenance of the
health of its people. The exporting
of milk must decrease the available
supply for home consumption, even
if the production per capita is not al
lowed to diminish.
The nourishment Of our children
is the first duty Of the Nation. Every
child from 18 months to IL years Of
age is better for having "a pints Of
milk daily in its diet. Since milk
and butter products are vital ne
cessity for children, for nursing
mothers, and for the sick and woun-
ded, the public should be made to re-
alize that the children's need for the
dairy products should be assured.
If necessary, the use of milk, cream,
or butter for adult consumption
must be restricted.
The curtailing Of food by the adult
population is not serious matter
and may even be beneficial. The
