TN BLOUSES and smocks, as in
everything else that has been pre-
scented so far for spring, variety
Is most noteworthy feature Of the
displays; variety in styles, In mate
rails, In design. 1t Is probably due to
the growing demand for exclusive"
styles on the part Of many people who
have grown exacting within the last
year or two. They appear to be
willing to pay long prices for some
thing different" Blouse and smock
designers, therefore, are following the
lead Of the mllliners and excursioning
into all sorts Of by-paths that lead
little way Off the main Travelled road.
But there Is room for some generaliz-
ing in summing up the styles. Blouses
and smocks interest women much ear
lier than suits and coats for spring.
Many Of the choicest ones are made at
home, and even when this Is not the
case, the assembling of blouses for
spring and summer wear begins early
and takes time.
Short peplum styles and short
sleeves appear over the horizon for
summer wear. There are plenty Of
Russian blouse models and plenty of
long sleeves-the latter greatly varied

busy day, and Is very appetizing.
Hot Potato Salad.-One quart of

also, in large degree, improper eating.
Horace Fletcher, who gave to the
world so much on the way to eat and
what to eat, advocated the long masti-
cation Of foods, chewing twice as long,
and in consequence the appetite is
satisfied with much less food.
A simple experiment which has
been often repeated Is that of chewing

which will be surprise to all rapid

After-War Coffee.

People old enough to remember the
Civil war are able to recall the fact
that after the close of that conflict 1t
was difficult and often impossible to
obtain coffee. Various substitutes were
used, such as parched rye, but one that
was commonly utilized in Washington
and many other cities was sweet po-
tatoes. The latter were first roasted
and allowed to burn somewhat on the
outside. Then they were mashed in
water and boiled. The water was thus
transformed into coffee, by no means
so unpalatable as might be imagined.
Sugar in those days cost % cents q
pound. But the sweet potato coffee
required no sugar, and so was an eco
nomical drink.

"Alma."

A husband newly wed, and also
graduate of the University of South

quet on the campus with few of his
college mates. He omitted telephon-

When friend husband did arrive
home his wife was almost ready to
break off diplomatic relations.
'Where in the world have you been"
was her menacing question.
"Why, dearie, have Deen out en-

Mater"
