A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

TT IS the period of the gloritied cotton
l. frock. The time was, not long ago,
when dressmakers didn't very much like
to make cotton frocks. You see it takes
almost as much time and thought to
make a cotton frock as a frock of any
other sort. But women wouldn't pay
anywhere nearly so much for cotton
frock as they would for a silk frock.
They seemed to think that it was alb
surd even to pay half as much for a
cotton frock as they would for u frock
of silk.
But this prejudice has gradually been
fading. For one thing women are now
willing to consider any sort of saving
in more sensible light. If they can
save on the fabric of the cotton frock
they are willing to do so, even though
the actual cost of making the cotton
frock is just as great. Moreover, the
cotton fabrics are far more charming
than ever before. 1t is only recently
that the same artistic talents have been
brought to bear on the making of cotton
goods that have been used on silk
goods.
A good many of the new print cotton
goods are made up over silk foundations.
The materials are so sheer that this
seems imperative. But let me tell you
that when you make II cotton frock over
y
materials cost is going to be almost
rs high as it would be for a silk frock.
For this reason l strongly recommend
the cotton frock made up as the one
shown today is made, over a cotton slip.
The effect is really just as charming
personally, in this model I like it bet
ter.
This little dress is of voile white
foundation, with n striking design dotted
regularly throughout The design shows
combination of jade green, blue and
a sort of terra Gotta. The overskirt is
cut in tabs and is edged with hounce
OF lace. The foundation skirt is OF
plain voile. The girdle, which ties at the
left side in a charming bow, is of jade
velvet ribbon.
And please note first the short sleeves
that are gaining precedence every day
the long straight waist-in spite of ru
Inors from Paris TO the effect that the
form fitting bodice is soon to be with
us-and the mid Victorian neckline
that shows more neck at the sides thar
il dorg at the front. ..t

TN OUR own italian districts, where
Il the Italian shops sell pastas arranged
In long rows of pale yellow, we find
many Italian products which are made
from wheat pastas. Some of these are
known under such names as vermiceli,
is the second size; spaghetti, which is
the third size; foritini, or maccheron
celli, the first size in the tubelikc
pastas, forati or perchaiatelli: then
comes mezzonelli and mazzani or mac
aroni zitoni, which is the largest of
the plain tube variety. Then there is
maazani rigati, or the small size fancy
tubes and zitoni rigati, or the largest
size fancy tubes.
There are four varieties of fiat noodles
of the ribbonlike variety, as well as
the elbow, alphabet and seed star and
animal or fancy pasta, from all of
which we can have a splendid range to
choose.
Durham or coarsely ground hard
wheat flour is used for these pastas.
Japan early claims the honor of first
discovering the macaroni, and yet it is
the favorite dish of the Italians.
One can enjoy these starchy products
the entire year without firing of them.
Macaronl holds the same place in the
diet of Italy as does the white potato
in the United States Of America.
How to Cool the Pastas
4 Place water in a saucepan and add
one onion chopped fine and a tiny point
of garlic, about the size of a pinhead.
When boiling add the macaroni and cook
for twenty minutes Now turn into a
colander and rinse under cold running
