Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

4 Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
VOC have doubtless noticed long be
l. fore this that there Is a decided
tendency toward tho drawing-in OF the
skirts at the lower part below the knees.
The very newest of the spring styles 90
a little further than just a mere draw.
lng-in, and are true revival Of the
once popular 'hobble skirt
One can but wonder what has become
of the agitators who several years ago
when the hobble was in fashion, made
such a. furor against the hobble skirt.
Not only are we to have the hopble
skirt, but the slit skirt as well. And
this. too, II you remember. called forth
much discussion as to the decency Of
such garments. There are only two
solutions to tho question OF the calm
ness with which these fashions are to-
day viewed by the public. One of these
is that the people are too busy TO con-
centrate their minds on the clothes. Such
tonics as the final peace, taxes and pro-
hibition are keeping the public ex-
tremely busy. The other reason that the
hobble is unmolested is that the high
prices asked for materials today make
a KOOQ excuse NilS
., sny superfiuous material Therefore,
under the protection Of economy. the
hobble skirt has a perfect right TO its
existence.
one OF the best examples OF the real
,ohhia sl<irt is shown today in the
.Sstcb. where 1t Is plain 10 see that the
designer made a straight. narrow skirt,

features s OF the coat are the long collar

s. too IA worthy Of your attention, al
veil as the way the ends OF the collar
are finished in loops. which are rather
unusual. 49,.

TN order to avoid repetition III
i recipes and to make them as clear
and concise as possible, l use the
terms thin, medium and thick cream
sauces rather than take cupful OF
milk, SO much flour, etc.
The making of cream sauce may
be classed as an important branch
Of cookery. and in. order that the
housewife may be able 10 make TINS
sauce Of velvety smoothneSs, II Is
necessary for her to know that put-
ter burns at low temperature, and
as the fatty particles undergo a
chemical change it makes them un1t
for food. So butter is not required
for making cream sauce.
The Congress Of Chefs, held IN
France in 1890, decided to do away
with the use of butter in making
the sauce, preferring TO add it after
the sauce is cooked, for its flavor
only.
A formula is necessary II the
housewife is to have her sauces UNI
form, SO tina.
One level Tablespoonful Of -four
aud one cupful Of milk make TIM
sauce, as for soups;
Two level tablcspooatuls Of -four
aud one cuptul Of milk make thin
sauce;
Three icVel tablespoonfuts Of -four
and one eupful of milk make me-
dunn sauce;
Four tablespoonfuls Of -four and
one eupfut of milk makes thtcE
sauce;
Fivc leret tablespooafuLs Of flour
and one cuptsl Of milk make q sauce
for outlet, croquettcs, etc.
Use a saucepan that is secured
bright, add the -four TO the cold milk
and then stir to dissolve, using fork
or wire whip to facilitate the proc
ess. Never use spoon for this pur'
pose, as it is impossible to thor
oughly dissolve the Jumps. Place or
the fire and bring to boil, stirring
constantly. Cook for five minutes
after the boiling point is reached
and then remove from the fire ant
add seasoning. It is then ready tc
use. II you desire butter flavor
add one tablespoonful Of butter with
, the seasoning and stir until melted
Part milk and water, stock
Z chicken broth, oyster or clam juic
may be used in place OF all milk wit
very good results. When maxim,
soups or sauces for meat and vege
table dishes the liquid from tn
canned vegetables or the water il
which the fresh vegetables wer
cooked may be combined with a,
equal portion of milk.
Many splendid varieties of sauc
can be made from the plain crear
sauce. For parsley sauce add fou
tablespoonfuls of finely choppe
parsley to one cup Of cream sauce.
Onion sauce: One-half cupful g
cooked onions, rubbed through
coarse sieve, and then add to on
cupful Of cream sauce.
