when eggs could be purchased at reasonable price. Eggs packed care fully may be used as fresh eggs.

CHOICE OF FROCKS
Wide Variety From Which MiIady
 May Make Selection.
Most interesting Garments Are Those Suggesting Tanagra Silhouette
 of Pre-War Days.

The several new silhouettes which were predicted for spring are making their appearances in the shops. The many interpretations given them al- low one a wide choice in the selec- tion of frocks, suits and wraps. Per haps the most interesting frocks are those which suggest the Tanagra sil- houette of pre-war days, says Vogue. The flat back and the concentrating of the fullness of the skirt at the front give a very pleasing line when worked out in the correct materials and col Ors.
 In tricolette frock the pliability of the fabric is brought out to the best advantage in this manner. The skirt falls in soft folds from under the bib-like front of the blouse and is cut so that it narrows away at the feet under. the back panel. This frock is charming either in a new shade of brown, called maduro, shade which is very dark although little lighter than tete de negre, or in dull light gray, called walnut, or in black. The embroidery on the blouse and on the
 
 heavy silk in simple stitch. The neck-like is rounded in front and is finished with a flat collar made of a straight fold of the material.
 The same effect of f1atness at the back is gained in blue serge frock by continuing the center breadth of the blouse into a separate panel which turns under the hem of the skirt. The rest of the blouse is cut on the lines of a jacket opening over satin vest.
 Many of the new topcoats of this season show the tendency to the mar rowing silhouette that one sees in frocks. Beige tricotine is used for a three-quarters length coat which is lined with blue and tan pussy-willow silk. The coat hangs quite smoothly from small yoke over the shoulders to the wide band which finishes it by buttoning across the front. The bone buttons are of beige color.
 The softly tailored lines of a light tan Poiret twill suit suggest the Rus sian blouse. The peplum of the jacket is plaited in three sections with straight sidepieces, which have three small slot pockets. The collar rolls back in a most becoming fashion to the waistline. The belt is of dull soft leather in narrow stripes of beige and red. This suit also comes in navy blue with blue and red belt.

Millinery Novelties.

The current season in the millinery tielG is more than ordinarily productive of novelties. Among the new things of fered are hats of wood fiber straw. This straw is about two inches wide and can be braided or arranged in loops. The same material is seen glazed; and in this form is called chicklet straw. Among the newest trimmings are large, fiat flowers made of dotted chiffon in all the pastel shades They are said to be especially adaptable for use on dress hats. Grapes, raisins and little rosebuds made of soft taffeta are also being used for decorations, as are flowers made of straight ostrich fiues. In col ors, jade green seems to be the new est that has found favor.

PARIS GOWNS GROW BUNCHY
Sash Is an Important Adjunct to Some Garments-Wrist Length Gloves
 Again in Evidence.

The imported gowns from that dear Paris are not pretty as to line and de- sign-not even the most enthusiastic admirer of French creations can en- thuse over the very short skirts and sleeves and the rather bunchy look most of them seem to have-but they are decidedly interesting and, more than that, even they are different from anything we see hereabout, observes a writer in New York Sun.
 Now, for instance, comes a white silk jersey evening gown, and from Doucet. It is charming thing, with long lines so very graceful that it is distinctly novel.
 The sash is an important thing on every gown, as it appears in many un- usual and interesting arrangements, sometimes placed high up under the arms and crossed in the front and again in the back, where it loops be- tween the shoulder blades and then falls the length of the entire frock. In this instance the sash is not more than four inches wide and appears on a Lige satin frock made with the sim plicity of little girls school dress, falling long and. straight from the shoulders, with only the little crossed sashes at the bust and in the back to hold in the fullness. The sleeves are very short, just the length we would call awkward, as they stop far short of the elbow.
 By curious freak of fancy it seems that Parisian women wear the short, wrist-length glove, just as people used to do before the days of 1860, which sets us wondering if we shall see the old-fashioned lace frills appearing again at the tops of gloves or shall the thin meshed mitts return?
 At any rate, if French frock among the new arrivals shows sleeves at all It is this curious half-length- course It remains to be seen whether our mak- CTS will adopt these funny sleeves. Americans have as much cleverness in adapting these fashions as the French display in creating them, and for this reason the French things always look we'll on our women.

If it were not for ever varying blouses, that lend the spice of variety to the tailored suit, we might finally grow tired of that mainstay of the American woman's wardrobe. But with the incoming of each new sea- son comes a glorious company of new blouses and each time we are con- vinced that they are the lovliest ever seen. The business of selecting ones new suit is settled, once and for all, and this out of the way, the matter of selecting blouses begins, and is never settled once and for all. We month after month, and part company with some of them reluctantly after they have seen long service.
 Handmade blouses, elegantly de signed and beautifully finished, never loose their charm for gentlewomen. And they are among her prerogatives, be she rich or not; for she can learn to make them for herself. Even when bought in the shops the simplest ones are not very high priced. But blouses run through a wide range of materi- als and prices; all the way from filmy georgette and fine batiste to wash silk and satins, with prices varying as much as materials.
 Tn materials, georgette crepe has won, and held for some time, first piace in the esteem of women. It is incomparably dainty, and more beau riful fabric has not yet been imagined. IT, is too durable to be classed among the luxuries; nothing stands the test of constant wear better. Here are two new georgette blouses, among

tractiveness of Gowns, Hats, Slippers and Bags.

Of course everyone has noticed by this time that beads are just as much the vogue this spring as ever. Beads there are on hats, blouses, gowns and evening slippers, besides "purse bags" are still much beaded, and we wear beads around our necks, notes a core spondent.
 Two patterns of beads much used on geOrgette blouses and frocks that are very easy to copy are the round and square designs. The round de signs are merely circles of beads of some effective contrasting color, such as white beads on a coral fabric, or black beads on yellow, that are sewed on tunics in circles about as large as a saucer. Sometimes bit of en- broidery-wool or silk-is applied as a motif inside circle.
 The square pattern is developed ex- tensively by the use of the shiny cyl indrical beads about half an inch long. These are applied in a very simple, large plaid to whole dresses or tunics or blOuses. Sometimes just a two row border crosses in plaid at the corner of a drapery or a collar.
 Coarse wooden beads in natural wood color, or very bright colors, are among the novelty beads trimming some of the very daintiest frocks.
 On millinery, the wooden bead, often represents the center of a flower on a black maline hat of the midsummer lingerie type.
 A very simple yet striking way to bead bag is to use round beads about the size of a pea, and sew them on moire silk in spaces about two inches apart all over the bag. Yellow beads on dull blue moir are an effective color combination.
 Among the good color schemes to employ with fabrics and bead trim- mings are cut steel or silver beads on Copenhagen blue, white beads on rose, red beads on white, crystal beads on pale green, bright blue beads on gray or yellow, white beads on very palest yellow for very dainty effect and black beads on the henna color.
 Worn around the neck, beads not only will accent or modify a neck line, but when properly chosen, set off the complexion.
 Beads are an inexpensive but clever way to add an expensive looking hand touch to many ready-made wearab1es, and it does not take a great deal of time to do it, if only striking colors and designs are chosen; so, all in all, let milady pay attention to beads, this spring.

range and let stand until the sugar is | dissolved. Boil, washing down the sides to keep it from graining. The hand may be dipped into cold water quickly brushing down the sides of the pan, or swab of white cloth may be used. Cook the sirup until soft ball is made when dropped in cold wa ter. Pour the sirup out on a marble slab or large platter lightly greased. Do not scrape out the saucepan or al- low the last of the sirup to drip from the pan as any grainy portion will cause the whole to grain. Work the edges with a wooden spoon, turn to- ward the center, then knead until the mass is white and firm. Let stand for an hour or two then pack in bowl, cover with a cloth and let stand over night. The next day the fondant may be used, but several days standing will improve it.
 To make bon-bons, add any desired f1avoring and color to a small portion of fOndant, then dip in melted choco- late or tinted fondant, melted over hot water.
 Chopped fruit of different kinds may be mixed with fondant dipped in choc- olate or uncolored fondant and dec orated with half nutmeat. To make the chocolate creams that are very soft in the center, take it off before 1t makes a soft ball to handle. Then mix as before and put out on ice to freeze. Make in balls while very cold and dip, then they will have the very soft creamy centers.
 Double Fudge.-Boil together seven minutes two cupfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of cream, two squares of choc- olate and tablespoonful of butter; beat and pour into buttered tin to cool. Boil together two cupfuls of granulated sugar, half a cupful of cream and a tablespoonful of butter and cook ten minutes. Add a teaspoon full of vanilla, beat and pour on top of the fudge in the pan. When cool, cut in squares.

'Tulle for the Slender.

It is somewhat of a gift to know ones limitations, but if you happen to be stout, don't try to look like a rose or butterfly. Use little will power and cut tulle and airy materials out of your wardrobe. Have you ever seen a stout woman sailing along the street with a wind-inf1ated silk dress? From a distance she looks like circus bal loon that has landed in the wrong place. Flowing military capes should also be debarred from the stout wom- ans wardrobe. These garments are hard to wear and none save tall, slen- der women, with beautifully graceful carriages, and young Red Riding Hsod types of girls look well in them.

They are patterned after the slip-over style, they button in the back, are long-sleeved, have round necks and are simply trimmed with bead and silk embroidery. The blouse at the left achieves an individual touch by its novel neck finish of square tabs, and that at the right has little set in chemisette in cream color that makes a lovely contrast with blue or apricot or orchid pink or whatever col or is chosen.

The People Who Have Time.

It is an interesting fact that 1t Is the busy people who have time to do the extras. The last person in the world to apply to for help is the one who is supposed to have leisure.

When Off Duty.

Nervous girls, even in the comfor- table corsets and loose one-piece dresses that are the style now, are apt to feel restrained in street clothes. However, about the house there is a chance to relax and every opportun- ity to do so should be taken. Loose smocks, middies or even negligees should be indulged in, particularly by the business girl when "off duty"

The coat fastens with two of tjIese large buttons, and two smaller cnee give a good account of themselves on the cozy, convertible collar, where they do duty in fastening it up about the neck when needed. There are two set-in pockets, one at each side.
 Coats of this kind are from four to six inches shorter than the dress un- der them. They are equal to several seasons wear, and are therefore con- servative in style. They do not vary much from year to year, but bear com parison with more fanciful garments without disadvantage to themselves.

TEXAS SOLDIERS ASKS
 FOR INTERVENTION
Says United States Should Keep The Troops in Mexico Until Order
 Is Restored.

Washington, July 28. - Immediate | military intervention in Mexico was ! urged upon Congress by Representa- tive Hudspeth, of Texas, in a speech in the House today.
 :! The United States should withdraw | it's recognition of Carranza, MT. Rud- speth declared send troops into Mex ico and keep them there until stable government is established
 '"The time has arrived" he said, when we should say to Carranza, You have not measured up to our | expectations; you have not lived up to your obligations to protect Ameri- can lives and property, so we will l withdraw our recognition of your government and put troops into Mexico protect American lives until a stable government is organized.
 l Referring to the pending reasons for an invasion of Mexico, MT. Huds- peth asked the Republicans: "Why | oAoulu yOu SCOp u luNcSllSdLc. IOu Republicans who are in the majority in Congress have been reading the
 press accounts of what has been hap
 pening in Mexico You know the 1 situation. If you want to protect
 American lives in Mexico, pass the Emerson resolution, but I am afraid
 you are trying to make political cap
 itoi for the next campaign, instead of
 really attempting to find way to pro- tect American lives and American pro-
 perty in Mexico.
 Under the Emerson resolution, the
 secretary of war would be authorized
 aild directed to send troops into Mexi-
 co to protect the lives and property
 of American citizens, and to keep
 them there until suitable govern
 ment is established, which can and | will afford protection to Americans"

WATCH FOR THE SWEET POTATO
 WEEVIi

Buy and eat Arkansas sweet pota- toes only. Plant nothing but Arkan- sas grown slips. This is the advice given to the people of the state by George G. Becker, Entomogolist, Uni versity of Arkansas, because the sweet potato weevil, a destructive in sect which is spread by being carried in shipments of sweet potatoes and sweet potato slips, has long been known to occur in Texas and Louis jana and is now dangerously close to the Arkansas line and may prove a dangerous menace to Arkansas sweet potato growers.
