APRICOT RECIPES.

All dried fruits are suitable for war
time cookery because they are pre-
served without sugar, are easily
transported and require no metal or
glass in their preservation. Apricots
are especially good to have on hand
for emergency desserts or simply to
eat stewed with a. very, very little
sugar for desserts when fresh fruit is
no longer really abundant. To be
sure the best grade of dried apricots
is expensive, but when comparing the
relative cost of prunes and apricots
remember that while prunes have pits
aprlcots are dried in as compact a
form as possible.
A very little in bulk of apricots
makes quite a large dish of them
when soaked and stewed. The best
way to prepare them for breakfast
is to soak them in cold water first
for fifteen minutes and then drain off
this water, which carries off the dust
and dirt that might be on the apricots
Then soak them in pure water and
allow them to stand for eight or nine
hours Then turn them, water and
all. into stew pan and let them cook
for five minutes or less, mixing a
little sugar in just before taking from
the fire There should be enough
Juice just to cover them when poured

their last fling in this country, and
then they were succeeded by the

New Frock Is Sensational.
Exactly why the American designers
dipped back into a period of dress
that was full of Impractical ideas and
filed with ugly mid-Victorianism that
was in keeping with 1ambrequins,
plush furniture, wax flowers in glass
cases and stuffed birds, is one of the
things in dress that no one ventures
to decide,
There is this to be said, however,
about these reyivals. which concerns
human nature in mass; that the newly
exploited fashions have a modern ap-
peal and smart look OF which we did
not guess. This is quite true concern
ing a new frock that a 5th avenue
designer has put upon a willing world.
1t is not in keeping with any French
fashion that has been created this sea-
son. 1t was launched in the early part
of September and it was looked upon
by women who follow a well trodden
path as an amusing thing; something
on the order of those fantastic frocks
that Callot often throws into her pa
rade of mannequinS as a Jest.
