WAIST LINES PART IN SUIT
Feature Plays an Important Part in
Apparel Of This Season-ReealIs
Some Old Styles.

The waist line this season plays
quite an important part In the dress
or suit. II may be long. extending
below the natural curve Of the body.
or IL may snugly accent the slender
line with which nature usually rounds
the figure.
when made In a basque effect IL
recalls the styles of 80 or 20 years ago.
when little round lace collars. similar
to those which are worn today. were
much in vogue. This long. straight
style Is as becoming 10 the slendc-.
rounded figure as IL Is to the well-de-
veloped matron.
when the cirdle Is at the natural
waist line Il is apt 20 be fitted rather
snurly. outlining the figure with easy
grace. The skirt may he made with
full ripple peplum which flares out
beyond the hips. or with n gathered
tsnic. nj any rate whatever the mode
~ the skirt. this style or girdle Is
almost always becoming.

UP-To-DATE TABLE SERVICE
More Favorable Comment From Dain-
tiness Than From Amount
Of Solid Food.

The hostess who would be sma-1
and modern must keep up with all the
latest notions anent table service and
food garnishing. 4 square meal well
cooked Is well enough in It's way;
more important-vastly more impor-
iant-is the service thereof. and few
light edibles perfectly served will give
that hostess n higher reputation
among her women friends. at least.
than any amount Of good solid food
minus the little touches that bespeak
appropriateness.
For instance. the butter knife is an
obsolete affair: almost as obsolete as
the ancient soup ladle no more seen
on the modern dinner table Soup Is
served in plates by the naid-no
tureen or ladle are in evidence.
As for butter. the little squares or
cubes-now much smarter than roly-
poly butter balls-are taken Up with a
dainty silver two-pronged fork. or
butter pick" The same little fork
may be used az tea hour for picking
M lemon slices for the teacups.
Small silver butter spreaders are
still correct AZ the individual places
and the smartest butter plates now
are of silver. plain and rather fat.

engraved with a monogram in the cen

Va housewife now is completely
happy until she has coaxed a set 81
silver vegetable dishes from her be-
ter half. And IL her cup OF happi-
ness is to be full he viii provide also
one OF those stunning silver plate
meat platters with a gravy tree

Sheffield plate meat platters.
In solid silver these table belong
lngs are rather costly; but silver plate
Is not TO be despised and meat and
vegetable dishes of good plate are
found in many well-appointed homes
Dinner napkins are not the main
moth affairs that they were-perhaps
because linen became so scarce and
precious during the war. But the
really handsome napkin. Of moderate
size. has an inch-wide hemstitched
hem and a beautifully hand-embro.d-
cred monogram or initial across one
corner. Sometimes the embroidered
motif is In the exact center Of the
napkin. which is folded by the laun-
dress so that the monogram comes IN
the center Of a square.

WATERS CONTROL
HOTELS IN ROME
Controversy Over Tips Ends
in Strike-Restaurants
Closed

Rome, July 5.-Restaurant wait
ers have been recently veritable an
cient Caesars in Rome for they have
controlled both the public and the
hotel and restaurant pr%oprietors.
Romans cannot eat outside the con-
fines of their own home for there
is now no place to eat. All restaur-
ants are closed.
The quarrel is on the unending
subject of tips. 1t has been the
policy during some weeks to include
