There Is new order of apparel
brought about by the combination OF
sport styles and the new weaves in
fiber silks and in genuine silk. 1t is
a glorited kind of sport apparel and
1t suits the up-to-date girl Of today
"down to the ground" The skirts Of
these handsome sport outfits are made
of these splendid novelties in
silks and the coat or jacket to
be worn with one Of them must
manage some way not to suffer by
comparison. Coats, made of the same
material as the skirts, just about di-
/ vide honors with suits in which coats
are made of fabrics that are different
from those used in the skirts. Quite
a number of the new silk and silk
fiber materials are conveniently class
ed as "sport fabrics" along with other
materials that manage some way tc
achieve the same character
velveteen jackets are shown to be
worn with skirts made of sport fab

LOOK BEYOND THE LABEL

The pantry list contains quite as
many items that are valuable TO the
cook according to their good spelling
qualities as it does of articles that are
valuable because of their good keeping
qualities. So it often happens that
such claims as keeps always" won't
SPOIL" ETC., as read every day in adj
vertisements would mean, If true, that
no service could be expected Of these
products.
For example, take matches-the
match that won't spoil is not a match
but a stick. Its only use is its spoil
ing. Another item that gives still q
better example is that of baking pow
der which years ago was considered
by many as a food but in reality is
not q food but merely preparer Of
food; still, through misleading adver-
tisements many people have been led
to believe that they eat baking pow
der, but this is moi, the case, Like the
match, baking powder must spoil" in
order to serve.
So, keeping qualities may be impor-
tant only as they insure spelling quail
tiles, which merely means that such
items must be manufactured so that
the spelling will not take place pre-
maturely and fail when used.
Thus, it is that small box OF
matches may be cheap at 5 cents COM
pared with box double the size at
6 cents, or a quarter Of a pound can
of baking powder of the type that
only requires one level teaSpoonful to
the cup of flour (sueh as calumet)
will go further than a 12-ounce tin
of low-grade goods, sold for the same
money. The size Of the package OF
the attractiveness of the label mean
nothing. Values must be measured By
the service they give. It's the only
safe way today.-Adv.
