A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
TN A great many families, especially
where there are growing girls. there
are regular sewing tests in the early
spring and fall and il is at this time
that all of the sewing for the coming
season is done. This method has its
advantages, as well as its disadvantages.
Where one is fortunate in having a
seamstress who can sew anu tit well, it
certainly is n great relief to have every
thing in readiness and be prepared for
every emergency. On the other hand
when clothes are made up so far ahead
there is great danger of not striking
just the right thing in either design, or
material. unless one is close enough to
the fashion world to be well advised as
to what is to be. These days the ma =
tcrial is just as important as the
design, and it is often we'll into the
season before the fashion in materials
is at all marked, and then, as a rule,
one or two materials become rage
and every one wants them.
There is much that can be said in
favor of buying a few frocks at a time,
or even one, for that matter. 1t is
really a practical way for grown
woman to engineer her wardrobe, and it
is always a far better way to get
dresses for the growing girl.
The frock shown today is for the
young girl and is made of pink checked
gingham. The skirt is ornamented with
tucks and a deep hem. The vest is of
white organdie and the shawl collar is
trimmed with pearl buttons. The mar
row sash is of gingham and ties at the
back
The hat is of peanut straw and is
decorated with Il wide ribbon which has
a picot edge.
Inquiries are solicited and may be
addressed care of this newspaper.

nuRTNG the summer stale bread

DURING the summer stale bread
seems to accumulate much more
quickly than at any other season OF
the year. Now we all know that
the heat will dry bread more quickly
and this helps to explain why we
frequently find large amounts of
stale bread on hand.
Leftover pieces of stale bread may
soon spoil, if they are allowed to
remain in the bread box, and they
will not only be unfit for use, hut
will also spoil the entire contents
of the bread box. During the sum
mer constant inspection of the bread
box is necessary and a thorough
cleaning at least twice a week. Place
all broken pieces as well as those
slices that are left over and are too
stale to use again in a baking pan
and place in the oven to thoroughly
dry.
To Crumb
Put these well-dried pieces of
bread through the food chopper
using the fine knife. Now turn the
crumbs into a colander and sift.
This will give you fine and coarse
crumb. Put the coarse crumbs into
a jar and seal. Use for au gratin
dishes.
Bread Crumb Outlets
Scald one cup of milk in sauce
pan and then add
TtOo cups of fine bread crumbs,
One grated onion,
One-half cup of grated cheese,
One teaspoon Of salt
One-hdlf teaspoon of pepper.
Cook slowly until the cheese mclts
and then turn on a platter to cool.
Set in the icebox. Mold, by forming
into outlets and then dip in flour.
then in beaten egg and finally roll
IN fine bread crumbs. Fry until
golden brown in hot fat. Serve with
tomato sauce for luncheons or din
ners on hot night.
Bread Crumb Custard Pie
Line pie tin with plain pastry
and then bring l y cups of milk to
the scalding point and add
One tablespoon Of butter,
One cup Of bread crumbs,
One-half cup of sugar,
One teaspoon of vGnilla,
One-hdf cup Of ratSirs,
Yolk of one egg,
One aUhole egg, aVeU beaten.
Mix thoroughly and then cool.
Pour into the prepared pie plate and
bake in moderate oven for twenty
minutes. Now place the white of
egg, reserved for this purpose and
one-half glass of jelly in a bowl.
Beat until this mixture will hold its
shape. Pile on the pie and then place
in the oven for three minutes, then
remove and cool.

many girls who have been most faith =
ful and devoted to men throughout the

only to ignore their very existence.

OF the girl who has proved a faithful
companion throughout the entire war.
who when he returns is denied even
common courtesy? sacrificed much
during many long months for the man
promised to marry. Nothing was too
much to do or give. Now he has re-
turned and proved unworthy. I thought
my heart would break. but hearts are
not easily broken. They almost break,
but tbs seldom they do. I wonder il a
boy ever spends sleepless nights and
mcalless days. Mealless because he'd
choke if he tried to swallow food. Is

Adventures
With a Purse

EOR long, long time have known
L about this nail polish, but ! have
been unable to tell you Of it before,
because so great was the demand for
it that the shop completely ran out of
it and | was obliged to wait until they
had procured a new supply. 1t is a
pink powder. Just a pinch of it is
needed to rub on the palm Of the hand
or buffer. You brush your nails smart E
" and in minute you have most
satisfactory polish. The nice part of
it is that after you wash your hands
the polish still remains. A generous
supply may be had for twenty five
cents, plus one cent war tax.
