There are any number of attractive styles possible for the matronly woman. In fact, some of the whims of fashion really seem made for women of this type. To cite an in stance, the coat dress in popular vogue just now is a happy choice for the woman of ample lines. Ex- tremely smart-looking frocks are shown today. They are best developed in jersey, garbardine or serge. If you will notice, all feature the rather long waist line that tends to lend slender ness to the silhouette.
 The figure at the left shows an at tractive means of paneIng. The blouse is rather jacket-like with loose hanging panels on each side. These are found at the back as well as the front. The skirt features a yoke that grows into Q panel at the front. Long, narrow sleeves com plete the frOck. Can you not see it in blue duvetyn? The collar and cuffs might be banded or embroider- ed in worsted of. a soft gray or in black. Acorn buttons in the colors of the dress find their place on the sleeves.
 The next frock shows the pleasing lines of the straight-frOm-the-s der frock. It gets it's distinction from the arrangement of the embroidery on the front of the bodice. A loosely knotted girdle is all that confines it at the waist. A three-quarter sleeve that just misses being full length shows an interesting cuff line. If one were to use French serge she could a lya 0narT1ofr1cr frnpl- 1il-a The mention of serge naturally suggests blue. Soutache braiding in black or blue would carry out the sIendering line of the trimming. The girdle heavily fringed in silk would be at tractive.
 A truly tailored street frock is the next. It's every line tends to make the wearer appear less stout. Take, for instance, the collar. Its straight stole line carries the glance upward and downward. The peplum falling three-quarters of the length of the skirt is also a slenderizing medium. A trim dart here and there adds to It's tailored look. And isn't the cuff attractive? This frock would be ab- solute1y stunning in broadcloth. Of course, here again, though not the only color possible, dark blue is bound to be a happy choice. The darts work up beautifully in black silk floss, and huge black bone but tons would be just the thing to finish collar and sleeves.
 If you have noticed every dress has through some little trick increased the apparent height of the wearer and given her long lines. In no place does the trimming go from right to left Particularly is this shown in the central figure. The perpendicular line of the embroidery or braiding is largely responsible for the good lines here. The thing to do is just to think" a bit more about your clothes, matron lady, and the results YOU get will be bound to satisfy

 Apples for Dessert and Canning.
 In these days of H. c. of L. it is unwise to overlook any resources that will add good nourishing food to the nations supply. Therefore it is sure ly in order to call attention to the importance of utilizing that large position of the early apple crop which grades below standard. Plenty of apples are now coming into the mar ket, many of them classed as "culls'' or windfaIIs. which these apples are, of course, more work to prepare than the hard picked apples, but good re- suits can be obtained with a little pa tience when for sauce, pies, apple hitter or for canning. Hand picked pie apples such as Grovenstein and Wealthy varieties, cost retailers 75c to S1 a basket. Fancy table apples of all grades available the desert prob lem should be an easy one to solve The following receipe is submitted by Miss Gladys B. Green, Home Econom- icaI Demonstration, Food Hut, Bridge port.
 To Can Apples.
 Wash, pare, quarter or slice and drop into weak salt water. Blanch 1-2 minutes, colddip, pack into jar and cover with water, or thin syrup. Put on rubber and top and adjust top bail or screw top on with thumb and little finger. Sterilize for 20 minutes in hot water. Remove jars, complete seal and cool.
 Apples shrink during sterilizating and for this reason economy of space is obtained by canning them in the form of sauce instead of ip quarters or slices. In canning sauce fill all the jars with the hot sauce and sterilize F minutes III not water DOIn-

Sometimes they are arranged in a splendid silver and crystal epergno with fruit Very rare ly fruit alone, artistically disposed. takes their place entirely, but as rule the floral decoration occupies the centre of tho board.
 At a formal and fashionable din- nor, the smoking is over by the timo all the guests reassemble in the draw ing room, and then those who have engagements elsewhere may rise and take leave, explaining the cause of their early departure. To remain an hour and quarter to an hour and q half after the meal is concluded Is by some people considered proper.

If a woman were asked to name her favorite dress material, no doubt eight out of every ten would exclaim "seorgette." Why? Because of it's versatility. It combines practical wear with beauty of texture and adds to that a quality of the modiste. For afternoon frocks it is incomparabIe. yet it is in evening gowns that it reaches the height of it's Ioveliness.
 This gown is built upon an under slip of dark blue taffeta. over it in a swirl of draperies is placed geor- gette in two colors electric blue and black. This combination produced a gorgeous color scheme. Blue beads in a flower motif adorn the skirt, and a cord of blue chenille finished with tassels completes it.
