Ia essentially French. they play up the
tailored suit. not only to the American
buyers, but on the figures Of their
most charming women.
The French. however. say that the
Americans make the best tailored suits
i In the world. and they cannot quite
understand why our people should go
i to them for a costume that Is essen
Nfially western. The reason why we
draw inspiration from France, how
( ever. is easy to find. We turn to her
las the sunfiower turns to the sun. We
| may depart from her laws Of dress;
I we may modify or emphasize her de-
crees in apparel; we may adapt GER
!, tain changes to our activities and So
Hcial customs, but we admit that
France lays down the sartorlal law
for the tailored suit, as everything
else in costume.

Well to do The glamour of one-piece
froeks, heaped with fur or covered
with smart topcoats, dies out. In au-
tumn and spring we approach days
when wraps are burdensome, and the
one-piece frock. unprotected, Is chilly.
We need the American costume that
was invented to serve our necessity.
In January we begin to face the win
ter. and yet. with our usual capricious-
ness. we face the fact OF choosing a
new tailored suit. Even IL we do not
buy it we talk about it. We like to
speculate upon it's possibilities. We
show exceeding interest in the new
fabrics that are advanced for it and
the colors that the season will pro-
claim. Shirt waists and various types
OF blouses engage our attention. The
length of coats, the narrowness of
serviceability OF taffeta. the probabili-
ties Of satin remaining In fashion. are
phrases and reflections that fit
through the mind.
The dressmakers do good propa-
ganda work along this line at this
thrown at us like q brilliant flag
against a gray, sleet-filled sky. It de-
lights our souls 1t makes us think Of
palm trees and cocoanut groves. Of red
clay roads in Georgia and Carolina, Of
pines that reach into the blue and
Groom queer songs throughout the
night. In other words. the tailored
suit. offered TO us today, makes us all
dream, and dreams Of pleasant things
make life bearable.

Now, here are the essentials to pro-
duce the dreams: Skirts are moderate
in length ana width in the new things
that are exploited. They do not sweep
the ankles; they do not curve In at the
back Of the knees; they have little re-
semblance to the lower part of mer-
maids body; they are straight. their
seams hold them steady: they barely
escape the ankles and they allow free
dom Of movement.
There Is no return to fare at the
hem of the skirt. Nothing ripples.
But II the skirt is not permitted to
curve out, neither Is 1t permitted to
curve in. Remember that, for 1t Is an
essential step toward grace.
There Is an entire absence OF fur on
the suits. This is appropriate for the
season. but 1t Is significant of the
fashions OF the present hour, for many
women will buy suits In January that
are intended to serve them through
the cold weather yet to come. They
must be guided In their choice of re-
duced suits today by what will be
worn tomorrow.
The best tailor Is content to let q
skirt 60 free Of ornamentation. Braid
Is overdone, fringe has become COM
monplace, and neither will be returned

Use of FIavorings.

DON'T overlook the Importance Of
the use of favoring extracts in
cookery. Since they add to the palata-
bility Of food, though not to it's nus
tritive value, they are vastly impor-
tant in making food more digestible.
Moreover. food that Is well favored IL
generally liked by those who eat it,
and that surely makes 1t worth while
to study the subject Of flavoring.
Most of US confine ourselves too mars
rowly in the use OF fiavoring extracts,
and delicious as vanilla Is we should
for variety's sake. In using vanilla
remember that to use more than the
recipe calls for is usually a mistake,
as little adds delicacy OF flavor,
whereas a great deal is unpalatable
to many persons. Remember not to
add the vanilla to any sauce or other
concoction when II is boiling hot, as
in this way the vanilla Is made to boil
Off, since tt boils at much lower
temperature than most food articles.
Thus you should wait until the mix
ture has slightly cooled.
Remember that there Is no use in
adding vanilla to spice cakes or other
cakes containing strong flavor in
themselves. but with fruits figs and
dates especially, when using them in
dessert, the vanilla brings out the
natural flavor. Some cooks even say
that a teaspoonful added to cranber-
ries adds to the flavor. Many persons
find that a little vanilla added to the
cream or thick milk used on rice or
other cooked cereals adds considerably
to their goodness.
Some housewives, in preparing Jump
sugar for tea, chocolate or coffee. add
drop of vanilla with medicine
dropper to each piece. This would be
especially good with chocolate, which
is decidedly improved by vanilla.
When you make whipped cream to
be used with dessert or with hot
chocolate 1t Is AN improvement to add
a little vanilla. This should always be
done after the cream has been whipped
stlff, the extract being added with the
powdered sugar and lightly mixed
with the t-ean.

the knees. while we cut them quite to
the ankles.
Twice year the little gyration Of
public opinion takes place around
tailored suits. There is rapid swirl
around new center, and II sweeps
over two continents. Twice a year

most important problem to be solved.

We claim this costume as a product
of the western world. This claim may
not be based on any good evidence, for
the English make the claim that they
started the tailored suit as an admir-
able informal costume for the open.
Possibly they did. Yet the Americans
emphasized the suit and adopted it as
the central part of their parapher-

T S it far-fetched to bring Mr.. Elmer

son would not object; his broad

ter of movement and compel the
system to gyrate around It," And
when he wrote this ne applied It to all
the fluid movements Of social exist
ence.
Fashion is fluid. 1t has no roots or
centers that are stationary. Any one
thing. like speck of dust, whirls into
the open. and there is wild bit of a
storm for a moment that dies out and
sometimes leaves established convic-
tons and again wipes out much that
was and creates something that is
new.
At least once year there Is an eff
fort made by those who blow little
whirly4uds into the open to create a
new type OF tailored suit. and they do
this with an especial thought for the
American.

tige at the moment. 1t is of rough
cheviot In mixed, golden brown that
reminds one of the heather mixtures,
only the touch Of green is absent.
Ihere is the straight skirt with it's
double bias folds at the hem and the
coat that ripples a bit from shoulders
to hips. There are bias folds fiaring
away from the surface of the coat at
are cut straight, neither yielding to
the inclination to be Spanish. nor
bell-shaped opening at the wrist, or
skin tight. after the medieval manner.
There Is wide, rolling collar that
ends at the bust. and the fastening is
unique: 1t consists OF four long, wide
tabs of ths'cIoth. stitched at the edges,
pointed at one end. with long,
stitched buttonhole. These button
hoies go over large buttons covered
run well across the figure. but the
fronts OF the coat swing open Just a
bit as the wearer moves to show a
mandarin yellow crepe de chine
blouse.
In discussion one should lead off
with the dominant factor, and in tai
lored suits this factor is the lining. 1t
dominates the coat. 1t is intended to
create more attention than the outer
surface. Its celebration Is vivid, and
now and then it displays the animated
designs of the tapestries of the mid
die ages Animals rove over it's sur
face. Human figures are engaged in
human activities. Hunting scenes,
pastoral scenes, gay little bits Of
street life are put on the surface Of
your coat lining. and IL you are clever
you see to 1t that the public Is in
stantly made aware of the novelty.
The pity of 1t Is that one does not
take off the coat in public. That fash
ion went out Of existence long before
the war dominated the world. 1t has
jackets until they take of their skirts
And yet, with this fashion an accom-.
plished fact, the designers by the
usage Of pictorial Innings are stimu-
lating women to put their coats over
the backs Of chairs whenever possible.
Why pay large price for a piece OF
satin tapestry IL you canot show It?
The average woman. however, does
not accept these animated designs, al
