SALT INSTEAD OF SUGAR

Some cooks and housekeepers
seem to think that salt reserves
its flavor chiefly for cooked foods.
with the exception of lettuce. and
some few other raw articles of the
ordinary daily menu while. as
rule, they use sugar for the Vari-
Gus fruits, cereals and many other
frequent dishes. But why such a
distinction. and why add sugar to
fruit already containing a suffi-
cient quantity of sweetness?
1t is said that those who raise
fruit, or live in communities where
II is so largely raised that 1t is al
ways possible to have plenty of the
fresh variety that has not been sub
jected to too much travelling and
handling. frequently scorn the idea
of adding anything so tame as su-
gar to their grapefruit or oranges;
they prefer that natural fravor, with
its exquisite blending of sweetening
and acid Others add a scanty scat
tering of salt, believing that that
brings out the flavor better.
Try salt on your sliced banana
and cream some morning; sprinkle
the salt lightly over the fruit first.
then add the cream and see if the
fravOr is not delicious. You will
probably come to theconclusion
that the heavy sweetness of the su-
gar that you have been accustom-
ed to use. has really smothered
much Of the delicacy of the natural
fravor of the banana. a pinch of
salt does not come amiss, now and
then. with an apple, either; in fact.
II you apply it TO an apple that
seems rather flat and tasteless, you
may suddenly find that it is really
an excellent specimen of fruit, after
all. AS for melons, there are those
and they are many-who consider
that the addition OF sugar ruins this
fruit absolutely.
Then there is the morning oat-
meal. Some morning, just for an
experiment, why not discard the US
ual thick coating of sugar and try
a light sprinkling of salt and then,
after that, the regulation cream
Perhaps it may not sound so, but
il is really exceedingly good. The
same suggestion applies to corn
meal mush and hOminy, cream of
rye and other cerals.
Sometimes nut glace-nuts coated
in sugar, boiled down to a transpar-
ent candy-are served after an al
ready sweet desert; here. If one so
desired, one might well substitute
salted nuts which would. in many
cases, have a much more appetiz-
ing flavor than the more insipid
sweetness Of the sugar after a hear
" meal.
These are just a few hints as 20

cases, as compared with sugar. when

Ornaments for the Neck.

The adornment of the neck is one of
the fashionable phases of the moment.
There is quite vogue for the fiat bead
necklaces made by the wounded sol
diers. Probably a good deal of senti-
ment is connected with the wearing of
them, but they have n distinctly deco
rative value, too, and make vivid
splashes of color on our dark gowns.
We are beginning TO realize the impor-
lance of neck adornments--their scope
and their limitations-in the domain of
dress. Smartness may be achieved or
allenated by the little finishing touch
at the throat. There is nothing, after
all. more becoming than the time
honored string of pearls, which, hack
neyed though il is. hardly ever seems
TO look amiss and seems suitable at
practically any age. Only in the hey
day of youth are brilliantly colored
heads appropriate. After forty they
should be absolutely taboo, supplanted
by the soft fold of cream or flesh col
ored tuIle, or, better still, the black
velvet band with diamond clasp. Jade
is. of course, the most popular of all
stones and cOlors for necklaces at pres
ent. though corals, moonstones set In
silver and opals intermingled with
crystal run them close and are some
what less expensive.

KNITTING. A WHOLE COSTUME
Popularity Of Outfits for Children Az
ford New Departure for Grown
Ups-RequIres Careful Work.

Whole costumes of knitted material
have been popular for small children,
but 1t is new departure TO offer them
for grown-ups. One has a rather short
sweater top, ribbed to fit snug around
the waist and going over the head.
The rolled collar, of white, ties with
knitted cord ending in knitted balls of
green. The skirt has bands of green
on q white worsted foundation. OF
course, such a skirt must be narrow.
1t would be horror of sagging lines
after few times of wearing If ii were
full. But it must be a nice problem in
knitting TO adjust it to the figure so
that it shall not curve in in all the
wrong places.
Our skirts are again scanty and
straight, but so far they disguise rath-
err than reveal the lines of the figure.
When narrow skirts were in before,
careless cutting and inexpert draping
often had results which were unfor-
tunate. to say the least. A skirt of
knitted wool might easily repeat these
indiscretions; so unless a woman has
graduated in the mysteries of knitting
and purling she had better not try to
solve one for herself.

DEMAND FOR BLACK
Material Favored as Economy
Rather Than for Mourning.
Color, Particularly That IL Does
Not Match Well With Khaki.

There seem to be two opinions
among merchants who deal in wom-
ems dresses, and women's wear in gen.
eral, about the probable demand for
black. Needless to say, war times al
ways mean an additional demand for
mourning, but after the experience of
England and France it is hardly likely
that we will overdo the matter of
wearing mourning In this country as
they did at the outbreak of the war.
Already there has been very definite
and telling agitation against this, and
1T is likely that If occasion for the as
Stunning of mourning comes, 1t will be
donned, but likely by American wom-
en-.
But aside from black as the color of
mourning, the prediction has been
made persistently in some quarters
that there will be an enormous demand
for black clothes as a matter of econ
omy. Women may demand black, and
they may wear it. But the question
is still open as to whether they are
doing wisely. Almost any woman who
has ever wore black for mourning
knows that it is not an economical
color. In almost any fabric black re-
quires constant brushing and constant
trips to the tailor. No color looks
shabby so soon as black. A black suit
skirt seems to collect the dust more
quickly than suits of other colors, and,
of course, black blouses have the dis
advantage of not usually being wash
able. The elaborate black evening gown
cut with an extreme decolletage comes
In for almost universal admiration, and
even debutantes yearn to wear It.
In England the fact is commented on
considerably that black does not go
well with khaki, and IT must have
been noticed by everyone In this coun-
try that since the escort par excel
lence is the man in khaki, our pretty
girls have been wearing colors of
brighter hue than ever before.
So think twice before you have much
black In your wardrobe, and think
three or four times before you adopt
1t as matter of economy.
