of no other way of using them save
to put them in dish and pass tnern

If you have any homemade catsup
or chile sauce, use this when you want
to make an appetizing leftover dlsh
from beef or lamb. One good way Is
to cut the left meat in small OTIS,
add it to some boiled rice and mix this
in a baking dish and then pour over
the top a good addition of the chile
sauce or catsup. You will need audi
tional salt and possibly little onion
but the relish will give you all the

Old-fashioned pickle lily can be

"Oh. Andrew said Imogene as she
laid down her book. II want you to read
this novel. Ii is so realistic, has such
wealth of detail about little honey
things which most authors forget. No
tice this touch here" She turned a few
pages and read "Madge sat with her ell
bows resting lightly on the edge of her
sewing machine. The dress she was
making was blue with a white polka dot
and down the edge where she was run
ming the seam there cleaned from time
to time a bright pin, showing where
she had hastily fastened down the hem
without basting it." She closed the book.
There. How many authors are such
close observers%
Few, I hope" said Andrew, fervent-
ly. THAT sort of stuff makes me sick.
Who the Sam Hill wants to read book
where they waste good black ink and
valuable paper telling you such drivel as
that? What have those bright-headed
pins to do with the yarn2 1 suppose in
the next chapter she also tells you that
nine rows of the cotton was off the
spoon at the time of writing, that one
Nhairpin had slipped three-quarters OF the
way out of Madges transformation. that
the rug had two wrinkles in 1t, and the
spider which had built his web in the up
per left-hand corner of the room had
caught two flys, and that the one with
the right wing pulled Off was a blue
bottle and the other one of the kind your
little brother Willie used to swat last
summer.
without this information the story, OF
course. could never go on. All these
things are the queer mesh OF surround
ing circumstances that made Madge such
an odd combination of constancy and
flckleness, the thread off the spool show
ing her constancy and the carelessness
of the bluebottle fly in letting the spider
px1 off his wing, showing her tickle
disposition. Wow

unless one realizes that all these fash
ions are straws in the current.
All the small things of life show
how the great things are tending.
Therefore. when women adopt a dark
velvet skirt because it does not need
cleaning as often as a light one, there
may be some subconscious feeling that
this extravaganza cannot last and that
the war has taught a lesson which is
in the soul. if not on the surface
b MINGLING OF FABRICS
There have been a few great artists
in the dressmaking world who have
insisted that the juxtaposition of a
metallic or jeweled bodice against a
dark skirt has artistic beauty and
that it has been carried through the
centuries from primitive days as the
admirable way of enhancing the beau
ty of a woman's costume.
The trouble with such fashion lies
in the fact that amateurs bungle it.
Women who wear red satin waists with
dark cloth skirts-and there are such.
for l have seen them IN the last month
are the ones who spoil the fashion.
1t is an economical style that calls
for splendid handling-and If the truth
be told all economy in food and in
dress requires a master hand. It is
for this very reason that economy is
usually so shabby. unattractive and de-
degrs ding to the person who must in
dulge in it.
The sketch shows a gown made for
a debutante who insisted upon some
form of black velvet. The effect is
youthful.
The skirt is gathered at the waist
band and shows a pleated ruffle at
its top. There Is silver cloth sash
tied at the side, and the bodice which
is cut in a primitive manner, is made
of blue and silver brocade, the supple
kind that looks like chiffon. 1t has
short sleeves and drops in a narrow
panel down the front Of the skirt to
the hem.

Balm saw the hopelessness of argu-
ment, and with a little shrub he turned
to the door. Come on" he said. '1'n

Once more back in the taxi they trav-
eled south, this time at more moderate
rate of speed, and at last drew up in

uniform of a police inspector. Sitting on

spLerdid metallic fabrics.
New York. November e.-The women
of another day considered a dark skirt
and a light. brilliant bodice an eco
nomical evening gown. 1t may be
for this reason. or for it's novel beau
ty. that such a frock is revived into
the fashions every few seasons.
The war did not teach women to
be economical as the world thought.
There is no doubt that it taught them
something OF the spirit of sacrifice,
and certainly American women viii
not totally agree with the English
countess who said that as far as the
women were concerned America had
very pleasant little war" But If
the truth must be told there is no
evidence of economy. of an enliEht-
eminent concerning money values, OF

penses.
1t may not be right to Judge nation
by extravaganza in great cities, and
this is true of the United States, as
of France and England; but the OBJ
server who has the opportunity to see
all classes of people does not notice
an extraordinary attitude toward
economy.
There seems to be a somewhat de-
fiant attitude. brought about by the
critical Industrial unrest. that it is
wise to spend all now. because tomor-
row enc may have nothing. 1t is not
good doctrine. 1t is an unwise and
usually an untrue one. But there is
no gainsaying the fact that America
appears to be as exrravagant as does
Pairs.
However. the doctrines of economy
may have infiltrated into the system
without one being conscious of It,
1t is true that the making over o.
cid clothes does not grow apace, even
though one has to pay 5000 and 5000
though one has to pay between 5000
and $500 for a tailord suit at a de-
partment store that once asked 800
for the same suit There is no dearth
OF buyers. however no matter what
pricea are asked. The dressmakers say
they cannot fill their orders and that
