Vlz7r| DIR. DRESS -! 5 S..


and it is difficult to turn from a high
scale of living to a simple one. Those
who have been used to hundred-dollar
gowns do not come down to the idea of
twenty-five dollar . gowns without a
Jolt or without some dire necessity
driving them to it!
As far as one can see there is at
present no tremendous poverty that
compels one to adopt a different scale
of dressing from that which has pre-
vailed for ten years; but patriotism
demands simplicity, and the women of
this country have the good taste to
accede to it and to present an appear
ance, If not an actually, OF inexpen-
sive costumery.
In Comes Dotted Net.
II is a thrice told tale that organdy
is fashionable. but every one does not
know that that French quality of dot
ted net which we once called point
d'esprit with various bad tnflectors
and a half French, half English pro-
nunciatlon) has returned to the inner
most circles of fashion.
There are entire gowns of this dot
ted net and, as in the olden days, the
limp ruffles are bound with colored
taffeta ribbon and there Is a sash of
taffeta that ties in a hustle bow at the
back.
our cxtravagant way of dressing
shows in the satin or taffeta founda-
ton to the dotted net, for we have
long since ceased to regard silken I'M
derwear and satin foundations as bits
of luxury. We take them for granted.
The Transparent Skirt,
One of the main objects of these
colored silk foundations Is to orien-
talize the simple muslin gown of this
wartime summer. 1t is built in a
sheathlike manner and is several
inches shooter than the outer skirt of
transparent orgapdy, dotted net or
dimity.
Mauve and mandarin yellow are
chosen colors for these tight slips, and
both go admirably well with an out
swinging skirt of white above them.
The sketch today shows a mauve
underslip with an old rose organdy
and white point d'esprit frock worn
over it. The organdy has a stiffness
that keeps it away from the figure and
there is an accentuation of slimness
beneath t that seems to be a shadow
of the figure. The ruf1ies of point
d'esprit are put over the organdy
skirt at regular intervals, and the
same material is used as a surplice
collar and deep, wide cuffs to form
elbow sleeves.
The taffeta sash matches the mauve
foundation. and the dripping flowers
are old rose, old blue and Chinese
yellow.

THE HOUSEHOLD
Make the Most of Seasoning.
Edited by ANNE RITTENHOUsE

Even within the last few weeks
when food conditions are surely far
from suspicious in Paris. word comes
to US that there are still here and
there in the less fashionable sections
of the city many of those well-run,
scrupulously clean and altogether
pleasant restaurants where one may
get a dinner that leaves one satisfied
and content-if not entirely replete-
for the price of two francs, fifty CEN
times. If a woman with a knowledge
of cookery and an inauiring frame of
mind were to dine at such place we
might learn from her something of
the secret of how the result is
achieved, but the correspondent who
recently wrote of such places--being
IMMERSED in things culinary-merely
comments that no doubt the amount
of meat served is very small but that
the effect was entirely satisfying and
that the effect was produced, he
thought, by the skillful and delicate
use of seasoning. The French, appar-
emily, always past masters in the art
of seasoning, have learned to camou-

the use of seasonings and spices. We

Football Captain of Illinois Ready to

Urbana, ILL.,, June Sc. c.
(Dutch) sternaman, captain-elect of
the 1918 University of Illinois foot
ball team, has withdrawn from the
university and gone to Springfield. his
home, to await call to service in the
national army. The loss of Sterna-
man will seriously handicap the
chances of Coach Robert Zuppke for
the big ten championship next fall. as
he had counted on the fleet little half
back to bear the largest part of the
offensive burden.
Sternaman has been a member of
the Illinois team for two years and
was elected captain of the 1918 team
at the conclusion of last season. AL
tho small, he was one of the best half
backs that Illinois has had for a num-
Der of years and reminds the old tim
ers of Harold Pogue, premier Illini
football man.

murmurs,
