lis greatly featured because it is a color in high demand for all of the new seasons needs. A fOuIard in two shades of brown is used to fashion an afternoon frock with tucked tunic and draped blouse. The tunic is gathered under a sash girdle of brown satin and falls over straight foundation skirt. The tucks are set their own width apart. There is not a contrast ing note on the blouse above the brown velvet girdle. The front is soft ly draped, while the long close sleeves flare at the back a owe the cuff The neck is finished with a bias fold of lself-material and cut rather low in
 round outline.
 Many women are choosing smartly
 simPle frOcks of cotton vOile for gen
 eral wear for they know that these frOcks are not only superlatively good Hooking, but inexpensive and easy to
 make. An appealing type is that with livery long blouse, long enough to ob- lviate the necessity of adding a tUnic Ito a narrow skirt. Indeed, blOuses, lrebelling against dreary mOnOtony, Iare assuming new and attractive lguises. One of the most desirable new models has a round neck, long sleeves, Igathered at the wrist in a self-frill, land deep girdle of it's own material. lThe lower edges, dropping longer at Ithe back, are hemstitched. These de ltaiIs seems to embody the best features of the tunic costume, yet are much lmore simple. Picoted ribbon finishes lthe round neck and runs down the front of the blouse in wayward little Hines, leaving nothing to be desired for youthful, coquettish effect. Care fully carried out, it is doubtful if this model could be prettier in any mate Trial, however rich.
 1 In its shorter length the separate blouse is just as attractive. A black Iveivet model appropriate for wear with any skirt or blouse has the front Icut out to form a deep V. The sides Iare gathered, while the lower edges
 are cuffed. Large armholes permit a Igenerous view of the guimpe or blouse
 worn underneath. The blouse falls
 to the hips and is strikingly effective
 in combination with light coIors. Tailored bIouses are stunning in their simplicity. They boast several new details, the deep yoke back and front, perhaps, being the most notable.
 A black and white novelty plaid has a straight skirt and long blouse with band about the lower edge half as Ideep again as the yoke. At the sides the upper edges are left unGtitched to form pockets The blouse fastens in double-breasteI effect, the collar being Iof soft while wool. Belt and cuffs cor Irespond with the collar.
 All of the smart tail1eurs are not Iconfned to suits. There are numer-
 ous stunning little frocks of serge in dark colors, trimmed. with stitching lin contrasting shades forming Scotch Iplaid patterns, or with silk braid
 worked in flower pattern. For after
 noon models show tabliers caught at
 the sides, with panels at the back. Fur
 borders are used.

The col lar is also laid on the lengthwise fold, or if made of contrasting material, the rule holds the same.

of development, unusual combinations of materials and trimmings and var ious incidents of decoration sustain
 interest in this particular style.
 Much to be admired is a straight
 line tricotine in a new shade of
 brown called hazel nut. The blouse is long and loose, belted at normal with a narr Jw brown suede belt. The square neck is embroidered in wool in two shades of brown. The skirt is trimmed with five deep bands of du- vetyn, while narrow folds of the same
 material finish the long close-ftting sleeves. The adjustment is at the left side. A collar may be added, if de-
 sired, but nothing is prettier just now ltkan the blanket-stitch embroidery
 used as a finish for the neck and
 sleeves of one-piece dresses.
 Formal and semi-forma toilettes show a wealth of detail when it comes to back treatments. Panels and var
 ious forms of drapery emphasize the importance of giving the silhouette of the back fifty-fifty attention with the front when considering a frock for afternoon or evening wear. A fas- Icinating design in se1f-figured satin | is trimmed with black velvet making
 a very rich ensemble. There is a vel
 vet panel at the back and this is laid
 in two wide plaits and caught up under a crushed girdle at the waist. lThe girdle does not pass over the panel, however. Wide bands of velvet
 are stitched upon the skirt, the upper
 edges of the top band being extended | to form pockets. Velvet cuffs finish
 the flare sleeves and the collar is also
 of velvet, contrasting richly with a vest of filet lace. This model is easy to duplicate ir less expensive mate rials, combination of cotton or silIi voile and satin being highly recom- mended. Challis and taffeta or char mouse is also another effective al 1 liance.
 Frocks of soft silk and satin will
 be used throughout the Fall and Win ter for house use. For a dress that always looks well and is moderate in price, foulard always proves itself worthy of the popularity it enjoys.
 The Fall silks are effective in coloring
 and new in design. Brown, of course,

Canned Beef juice for Souns.

When canning beef, it is sometimes difficult to remove all the meat from the bones Take these bones, cover them with cold water, add salt. and cook them slowly for several hours. Then pour the juice into cans which have been sterilized and seal them. When ready to use, add vegetables or noodles, or use the juice alone to make delicious soups.

There is no more lasting form of decoration than fiIet crochet and the medalIions usually set into towels and table linen are of such a simple char acter that they can be made in very short time. When very small, two or three may be crocheted in an after hoon or during an evenings leisure 2.

THE RED CROSS BANQUET The ban
quet, marking the end of the two years
splendid work of the sewing department
of the Red Cross, was served last Friday
evening in Memorial hall. The tables.
arranged in the form of a cross and over
laid with bands of red, were most attrac-
tive; and the menu was enjoyed by 96 of
the members. 1t was heartening to see
several who have worked long and loyal
ly in neighborhood groups out of town.
Miss Hazeltine, chairman of the Red
Cross, at the close of the banquet, grace
fully introduced the speakers, calling
first upon Mrs. James C. Durham, the
secretary, who spoke of her duties and
emphasized the need of continuing the
work. Miss Isabel CHM, the treasurer,
told of the large amount of money that
had passed through her hands, S25, 5,OOO
All Of which, barring money for postage
had been used by the Red Cross. Miss
Maud E. Mathews, chairman of the
Home Service department, compared her
work to that of the Social Service and
related an interesting and pathetic story
that her department had been able to
bring to happy and comfortable ending,
as an example of the kind of work they
are trying to do. Mrs. James H. Howes
responded with earnestness and charm to
the toast, "The Salvation Army" and
Mrs. Herbert S. Morey spoke enthusiastic
cally for the Y. M. c. A. Mrs. A. E.
Wilson read a Red Cross alphabet, in
which all the bright and funny people
and things of the past two years were
exploited, even the "Movies" over the
way coming in for its share of attention.
Miss Hazeltine made strong plea for
willingness to get to work again when
the much needed vacation is over. Mrs
Fred Rackliff, with bIief forcword and
small Emily Rackliffe reciting the real
Maud Muller, gave the history of the or
ganization of the Waldo County Chapter
of the Red Cross, patterned on the lines
of the original Maud. A pleasing vocal
program, arranged by Mrs. E. P Frost,
completed the entertainment.
