sisners you will agree with me that
they look as II they had been carried out
from, designs made by an artist who
worked with large brush and the great

az the miniaturist about these designs.
Tho result is that the hats that are
shown rs this year are nothing II not
a. .hins. whether they are suggestive
az the Directoire period or the Victorian
a. sussestiye of nothing that ever has
haen worn by women before--one thing

and dash of line. Now this Ia not an
sasv result TO achieve, especially when
ths hat is trimmed. Often the shape"
has this quality because II has been
n,odeled after the original design OF a
trne artist. But when II comes TO add
inr trimming the effect is lost, for the

the same lines that are suggested and
started in the shape. or the trimming
must be 30 deftly added that. while II

TN COMBATING the high cost of
living I have quite lately COM
pared my recent expenditures with
those Of former years and find that
while I have had to give up steaks,
chops and roasts, / am able to re-
place them with the cheaper cuts Of
meat, and frequently use other foods
that will supply the required protein
content.
This requires careful thought and
some preparation, but l also have
found that in doing this I am able
to obtain more nutritious foods for
the money than if it were expended
in expensive cuts.
Creole Beef
Have the butcher cut two pounds
of shin beef, leaving the bone in.
Wipe it with damp cloth and then
pat into the meat one-half cupful of
-four. Melt five tablespoonfuls Of
shortening in a deep saucepan, and
when hot put in the meat. Brown
quickly and then turn on the other
side. When both sides are Drowned
add
Two cuptuls Of boiling rodter,
One eupful Of chopped onions,
Two carrots cut in dice,
One cupful Of canned tomatoes.
Bring quickly to boil and cover
closely and cook very slowly until
tender, usually about two hours.
Season and then it is ready to serve;
or the pot may be placed in slow
oven for three hours.

night and then look over carefully

Ceorgette and Chiffon

To the Editor Of Woman's Page.
Dear Madam-will you please tell me
through your column what is the difference
between chiffon and georgette? I mean In
their composition. FIVE.FIFTEEN
In the manufacture of georgette both
the warp and the filling are twisted and
the weaving is done on n box loom
Chiffon is made with = plain weave The
crinkly effect In georgette is obtained by
shrinking process to which plain chif-
fon Is not subjected. Originally the
Keorgette might be forty-fve inches
when woven, then II might be shrunk
down to thirty-eight inches. The amount
Of shrinking done depends on the heavi-
ness, etc, desired In the georgette.
