A NOVELTY AMONG FASHIONS
BY ANNE RTTT,ENHoUsE.

We ct our fashions from curious
sources. No one knows why the de-
signers take It into their heads to
secure inspiration from deep hidden
wells OF knowledge. but they believe,
evidently, that history should repeat
itself. There is not time. nor always
the stimulation, to design something
quite new for women to wear. The
world is full OF a number of things.
some of which are known, many of
which are not, and more than half
of which are forgotten by the public.
signers md it quite joyful to play at
the game Of resurrection. They find
nothing more amusing than to trans
pose fashions from one era to an
other, making them serve different
ends
Here. for instance, comes along a
smart and fetching frock which has a
warriors breastplate as a. suggestion
for its bodice. The irreverent would
say that the thing was a chest pro-
tector, and the militarist would re-
mind the critic that a few million SOL
diers OF the most modern war wore
their breastplates after the fashion
of chest protectors. The two were
one.
1t is probable that those broad
pieces Of thick fabric worn by the
men in the branches are really the
inspiration for this new kind of
bodice front. In 1917 our women
old kid gloves and stitched news
papers and quilted flannels-anything
to keep out the horrible cold on the
fields of France.
This new panel. as it appears on the
duvetyn gown. is of brocade, full of
color and design. 1t is a far cry from
the chest protector of the trenches.
1t is not intended for warmth, but
for beauty. The sketch shows it in
yellow and gold, used as a. means of
enlivenfng an African brown gown.
1t gives long waist, it runs as a belt
across the back. it rises to the chin
in wide, fiaring collar, and it shows
as a panel on each side of the skirt
One must stop a moment and regard
with interest any frock. such as this
one. that departs from the usual
through its sleeves and collar. Each
woman is asking the other if these
fashions are really to be. She wants
to know as earnestly as she ever
wanted to know anything.
The only answer is that the long
sleeve and the high collar are incor-
porated in many of the best gowns.
They are strongly featured by thoBe
who are DESTROYS of a change rather
than of wearing out, or selling, an
assortment of long kid gloves.
Long Gloves Again.
This long glove has had gay time
Of it for over six months. after years
of darkness and oblivion. There were
many who thought that such acces-
sories would make a wonderful
Christmas present, as they did in
olden days, before the war, and be-
fore Mrs. Castle and all her follow
ers let dancing put the taboo on
gloves in the evening.
No woman has been grateful over
the receipt OF long gloves as gift in
recent years This year, on account
OF the Renaissance Of long gloves
for street gowns. the gift of arm
coverings has been frequent Now,
here comes the long sleeve. Not only
reaching to the wrist, but to the

The English Way

The time-honored national method
course, roasting. And by roast
ing meat the English housewife
doesn't mean what most Americans
mean. In America roast beef is usu-
ally beef that has been cooked in
closed oven. To the English house
wife this method of cooking is simply
should call toasting or broiling, and
must be done in whole or in part
before brisk, open fire.
In the old days, before cooking
stoves or kitcheners, as the English
call them, had taken the place of the
could roast meat easily and well by
the use of a spit hung over or at the
side of the fire. From time to time the
busy housewife would turn the spit sc
that the meat could be done through
and evenly on all sides. In larger
establishments there was a special
servant, known as the turnspit. to at
tend to this duty, or sometimes it was
the tantalizing task Of a small dog,
who ran a sort of treadmill attached
to the spit. So, in one way or another
the Englishmen of old times had their
meat literally roasted to turn-that
is to the point where one more turn
of the spit would be too much.
But with the passing of open hres
and old spits, roasting has not passed
out of England. Most kitchens in
England have open fires for roasting
and broiling. The meat to be roasted
is placed on roasting screen which
has previously been moderately heat
ed. This is placed close to brisk fire
for five minutes, in order to coagu-
late the juices. 1t is turned in order
to coagulate the juices. Then it is
20 fro
and allowed to roast slowly until it
is done. The rule in England is
a quarter of an hour to the pound for
beef, with seventeen minutes to the
pound for veal or pork. The expert
enced roasting cook can tell by press
ing the meat with a spoon whether it
is done or not If the meat yields
readily to the pressure of the spoon
it is ready to serve. During the proc
ess the drippings are retained in a
dripping dish and are used for fire.
quent basting.
There are some complicated chemi-
cal reasons-which the English cook
who invented and improved the art
of roasting never dreamed of-whN
this is, along with breiling. the most
wholesome method of cooking meat,
and some equally scientific reasons
why it is, next to stewing, the most
economical Too bad. therefore, that
there is so little veal roasting done by
American housewives.
The next time you have roasting
piece of beef or a leg of lamb try
modification of the original roasting
process which English cooks without
a suitable roasting fire often resort to.
| Instead of putting the meat into a
cool or moderately cool oven and
| bringing it gradually to high tenn
perature-which is reversal of the
| proper order of cooking meat--place
/ the meat quickly over the fire on a
| broiler or gridiron until u has been
scared on both sides. Then place it
| on a rack in dripping pan and place
| It in a very hot oven, allowing the.
| temperature to decrease rather than
Increase after the meat is in. Ere
uuent basting with the drippings is,
of course, necessary to keep the meat
juicy.

Mrs. Grouse never makes the mis-
take Of hesitating. Long ago she
learned the folly of that. In time of
danger she acts and acts quickly. She
knows that that Is the only way to
escape. There is an old saying that
he who hesitates is lost and in No
other part of the Great World is this
more true than in the Green Forest
and on the Green Meadows.
So when Mrs. Grouse and Rusty the
Fox Squirrel heard the warning of
Rusty's small cousin, Chatterer the
Red Squirrel, both made ready to act
the very instant they knew what the
danger was and where 1t was. It might
be that Reddy Foe was returning. In
that case they were safe right where
they were in that spruce tree. But

Kitchen Handles.

In spite of considerable ingenuity
in the use of wooden or hohow han
dies on kitchen utensils, the fact re-
mains that cooking is hot business
and handling hot things is one of it's
problems. Many housekeepers solve
it by making padded squares of old
Scraps Of material, to be used as hold
ers, and always keeping a good sup
ply of them on hand.
Such holders should be four or five
inches square. or four by six inches
oblong. 1t is wise to make them
washable; everything in kitchen needs
to be washable, and. therefore, they
should not be too thickly padded. Scraps
of Old cotton batting. worn-out stock
