To Save Time.

Time is way above par nowadays.
Everybody is busy. No one has time
to devote to fine stitches if big stitches
will do. Hence any suggestion which
will save few minutes by the clock
are welcome. What about these: If
you need a casting for the top of a
camisole, or nightgown, or kiddie's
frock in hurry, try making a wide
cat stitch on the outside of the gar
ment with heavy silk or mercerized
cotton. You can run a ribbon or tape
through this and make it decorative as
well as useful in much shorter time
than stitching on the usual bias facing.
There is another way, too, of crochet
ing row of open filet mesh and sew
ing it on. This takes a little longer,
but wears well for wash clothes. A
loose feather stitch for sewing tucks
into dresses for growing girls is much
better than either hand embroidered
or machine stitching.

BUTTONS FROM NECK TO HEEL
Closing Gown Down Back an Idea Gre
ated by Designer Aided by
Smart Woman.

Primitive draping is in high fashion.
And right against it, sitting in the
same room with it and exploiting it.
self quite as proudly and successfully,
says a fashion correspondent, will be
gown that is fastened with bone
buttons from the nape of the neck to
the turn of the heel.
1t is pure perverseness to employ a
line of buttons down the back of
frock. The entire world of fashion
was stimulating itself to the utmost
to provide new ways with ancient
ideas. 1t was on the cards that we
would drape ourselves in different
ways. Then some designer, aided by a
smart woman, made tight bodice to
a frock, buttoned all the way down
the back, and added Japanese bow
at the waistline.
What was the result? Huge bows
and tight bodices, smoothly pulled
across the bust and sinking in over
the diaphragm, became an exalted
| fashion.
Perhaps it was panic, and not per-
FerSeHeSS, InaL created CnlS gown. 1t
takes a skillful hand to wrap material
around the body in graceful manner,
and we have not the art of the primi-
tives. A modest woman has a right to
demand that this drapery be well put
together before she appears in it in
public, to dance, to dine or to walk.
The Japanese woman can wind her
sarong about her hips, and other an
cient races can tie invisible knots in
material to keep it modestly in place,
but we are used to hooks and eyes,
buckles and buttons, and we are bit
afraid to go abroad in something that
depends upon our skill in tying knots
to keep us from being naked and
ashamed. .-'-A~-''

HERE'S A NOVEL SLEEVE IDEA
Clever Girl Offers Valuable Sugges-
tions for the Woman Who Makes
Her Own Clothes.

Are you decided on the sleeve Of
your new frock? OF course, you are
undecided. Everyone is when it comes
to sleeves; because they are such ter
ribly important things. AS a matter
Of fact, most of the dress interest and
individuality center about the sleeve.
One clever girl offers this suggestion !:
Make the conventional nOt-tOo-l0ose
or nOt-tOo-tight elbow-length sleeves.
Now cut from the same material, or
contrasting, should you prefer. two
squares. A "hole" in the middle Of
each provides a hand entrance. After
that you tack each corner of the square
to the sleeve proper, and you have
achieved enviable chic. Other awfully
clever ideas can grow from this one.
For instance, you are making tunic
blouse of two cOlorS of chiffon or geOr-
gette. In that case you will use the
two cOlOrs on your twO-piece sleeve.
Also fetching trimming will suggest
itself. What do you say to tacking

Did you read that item in the news
papers the other day, of a one-time
distinguished and prosperous citizen
of Chicago who died suddenly in the
hospital, unknown, alone, unloved?
He was an old man, a victim of ad-
versity, forgotten by the acquaintance
of his prosperity. The authorities were
about to consign the body to the pot
ters' field when they found in his pock-
ct Liberty bond for $50 and a GER
tificate of a fraternal lodge to which
he had once belonged. That society
was notified and gave him a Christian
burial, the undertaken and cemetery
accepting the bond in payment for

BLACK FOR SUMMER
Mourning Color for Street Wear
and Social Functions.
Upkeep of country's Optimism Could
Best Be Maintained by the Wear
ing of Gayer CoIors.

Another departure from the fashion
as laid down by Paris this year is
the wearing of black. This is not for
mourning, but for street, luncheons,
dinners and the theater.
1t is really not a good fashion, and
those who cry for the morale of ma
tion, which merely means the upkeep
of it's optimism in the highest form,
would prefer to see this a season of
gayer colors, states a fashion corre-
spondent. There will probably be
enough mourning in the land and our
millions of soldiers do not wish to see
all the women garbed in black. 1t does
not make them look upon life with
more joy.
However, we have started on a
career of black for this summer sea-
son, and only the individualists depart
from it. 1t is condition for gratitude
that we have enough rebellious souls
to insist upon blue, pink, green and
yellow as a contrast to the moving
procession of black jet, taffeta, tulle,
satin, pearls and jersey.
Another fact about this fashion for
black, for which we are truly CRATE
full, is the extreme manner in which it
is presented. There is nothing gloomy
or depressing in the way it is ham
died. Only the color itself strikes a
somber note. But color is always the
note of victory, the sounding of the GYM
balls of a deed well done, and as the
psychology of the masses is the most
important thing of the hour, we should
become students of this peculiar SCI
ence of the mind and exploit it to the
greatest extent.
1t might be wise for US to follow in
detail the psychology of the general
issimo of the allied armies, General
FOch. One who knows him well, says
that General Foch thinks that to be
gloomy is to admit that matter has
conquered spirit. Hopefulness is first
in his creed of victory. He believes
that depression is a confession of in
tellectual weakness and will lose more
battles of every kind than any Other
single cause. Mind power, thinks Gen
eral Foch, can snatch victory out ,Oi
the arms of defeat as well as the com
ing of unexpected re-enforcements. He
said during battle that no man neeC
ever be tired at a crisis if he manage:
his mind right. One of his great max
inns is 'Resist the irresistible" and an
other favorite maxim during his Ions
life in the thick of things was "Vic
tory is thing Of the will"
There is no getting beyond the sen
tence that victory is a thing of thu
will" 1t is this psychology that W,
should work upon, and the constan
wearing of black does not help to
wards a more brilliant expression O
the will and the spirit. Therefore,
we must wear black gowns, evel
though we are not in mourning, let u
have them as gay as possible.
Brilliant jet contributes to the viv
idness of a black gown, and it ha
been reinstated by the designers in
fascinating fashion. Entire frock
are made of it for dinners and dances

dinner when meat and meat sauces
are used, is one worthy of our OBJ
servation, for fats are much needed
for our armies and as necessary as
meat. Here is q good dish to con-
serve both wheat and meat:
CornmeaI cheese Dish.-Put two
cupfuls of water and half teaspoon
full of salt over the fire; when boil
ing hot add a cupful of cornmeal
mixed with a cupful of cold water,
adding the moistened meal gradually,
stirring constantly, keeping the mix
ture at the boiling point. When all
the meal has been added, set the boil
er over boiling water and cook for
an hour longer stirring occasionally
Just before serving, stir in a cupful
of grated cheese. Serve sprinkled
with grated cheese. Onions on toast
will conveniently piece out a light
dinner, or serve as vegetable on fish
| day. Pare, chop and cook in butter
one Spanish onion, add pepper, salt,
and a teaspoonful of sugar, cover and
cook until tender. Spread on slices

full of mashed potato on top of each,
dust with grated cheese and set in
the oven long enough to melt the
cheese.
Onions in Ramekins.-Peel and boil
quart of onions, drain and break
them up. Add pepper, salt, little
sugar and a small lump Of sweet fat
of any kind, add a half cupful of
grated cheese and a cupful of smooth
tomato sauce. Line well buttered
ramekins with mashed potato, fill
the center with the onion mixture,
dust the top with buttered crumbs
and bake until brown.
The dish is most satisfying with
white sauce instead of tomato, using
the cheese just in the same manner.
Banana Balls.-Use a French potato
scoop and cut balls from firm but ripe
bananas. Let them marinate In
French dressing, then roll in chopped
nuts or serve plain. The leftover bits
of banana may be used in countless
ways; put through a sieve and added
to other fruit juices, or creamed, then
frozen, 1t makes a delicious ice cream

Velvet and organdie make a fash

The sleeveless coat fashion is gain

Foulard in large polka-dot design is
very fashionable.
A new style of cape for sport wear
is of neutral linen.
Chenille dotted veilings have taken
a new lease of life.
Sleeveless guimpes are made to wear
with bolero jackets.
Black satin and gray crepe de chine
make a pretty frock.
A new rough swiss straw appears
among the latest hats.
Tailored blue serge is a standard
style for little children's coats.

many years to the life of the building,
as the excessive moisture would be
drawn out through the ventilating sys-

the building from rotting.
His third consideration was indi-
yidual drinking cups, and the fourth,
sanitary barn equipment.
Every one of these items Is very i'm
portant in the modern barn, and If you
analyze them carefully you will find
that this dairyman has solved the prob
lem and is going to put in his modern
devices according to their Importance
In the building.
When barns were built without con-
erete floors and hangers, the dairy
cows were turned out to the watering
tank once or twice a day, and allowed
to drink their fill Of water.
After the concrete managers were put
IN the barn, arrangements were made
in many cases whereby the water could
be turned into these hangers several

ger to the other, so that, while they
received water oftener, there was still
considerable danger from contamina-
ton and the COW received water only
1t such times as 1t was turned into
The managers.
Thus the individual watering cup
mas proved to be the ideal way In
which to water the dairy COW because
each COW drinks out of her own cup,
and she can drink at any time.
So many tests have been made with
the individual watering cup for the
dairy COW that some Of the manufac-
turers are offering to sell these on a
guarantee that they will pay for them
selves in 60 days.
| How is it that an individual water

half Of a canned pear or a very ripe
fresh one on heart leaves of lettuce,
cover with cubes of pineapple, blanched
almonds and the usual mayonnaise
dressing. II a bit of color for garnlsh
is desired a maraschino cherry is
added.
Chopped young tender well-cooked
beets, mixed with mayonnaise dress
ing that has been tinted light pink,
makes beautiful salad, and is as good
as 1t looks. Asparagus and string
beans make a most satisfying combi-
nation, served with French dressing.
Thinly sliced crisp red radishes
used as a garnish, unless some other
color is used, makes a pretty salad
out of simple foods. Too many colors
should never be used in any dish, our
artists tell us, and surely we. would
not mix colors, even in a salad, which
were not agreeable to each other.
A spoonful of several leftover dishes
will often make a most tasty salad.
The things at hand and the genius
of the cook will often produce pleas
Ing surprises.
Veal and Chicken Salad.-Cut bits
of tender chicken and veal which
have been cooked and seasoned to-
gether, add chopped celery to taste, or,
lacking enough, a little tender white
cabbage. Let stand with light dress
Ing of French dressing to season and
serve with a boiled dressing. A cup
full of mayonnaise or boiled dressing
is usually sufficient for a quart OF
salad.

tonic.
Surprise Salad.--Cut in bits two cold
cooked lamb chops, freed from Skin
and bone. Make a jelly by strainlna

Many colds in the head are relieved
particularly that heavy, dull feeling,
when breathing through the nose is i'm
possible, by employing as throat and
nasal douche half teaspoonful of bak-

Fill the passages with as much of the

possible.
