Spring Fashion Notes.

Many we'll dressed women have al
ready started wearing filet lace over
the collars Of their suit Jackets. We
have been prejudiced against this for
several seasons, but 1t is quite all
right" this season and the little line Of
fllet does much to render the suit be-
coming and likewise makes it far
more cleanly, as tho ilet may be
washed when you will.
For the street, oxfords and strap or
ribbon-tied pumps or slippers will be
much in evidence. Quite fllmy and
transparent hosiery is already worn
in the street by really well dressed
women, however much you would lik e
to think that the we'll dressed woman
did not wear lacey stockings except
indoors or in midsummer. This spring
dark gray and chestnut silk stockings
will also be worn with black oxfords,
pumps and slippers.
In Paris the indication is that the
fashionable color for gloves this
spring is a very light beige. Doubtless
we will favor the same shade. For
street wear many we'll dressed women
Will select tho finest, heaviest quality

The fashion for uniformity in coloring
ana FABRIC in costume has vanished
beyond the horizon. 1t may be merely
taking a vacation after years Of hard
| and constant service. but women may
as well run riot in color combina-
tions, wisely and unwisely, while
| there is chance.
Circus Embroidery Dominant.
A few Of the exclusive tailors, those
who cling to the mannish coat suit for
the American woman regardless of
what Europe does, insist upon the COL
ored muslin shirt waist.
They build with a high color. elbow
, sleeves and a mass of frills after the
Beau Brummell manner, he who was
arbiter of dress when Sheridan was the
| fashion of London town. Expensive
luXuries, these, in such an era as this.
! There are women who will not follow
| the tailor's advice concerning the COL
| ored washable blouse, but they are
seemingly eager. at last. to adopt the
chine, Of georgette. of chiffon in colors.
They see its advantage in a day when
| laundry prices mount to more than the
original cost of the garment.
So much for the fashion and its ac-
| ceptance. What are the different ways
OF carrying 1t out, is the pertinent
question put by women. The sketch
! shows one way. 1t is a blouse that
| has more grace and comeliness in it
| than the usual shape which hangs
! loosely down over the hips and is
carelessly belted in. That special type
has been practically discarded in favor
of the kind that binds in the hips or is
tied about the figure trifle below the
waist line, preserving the straight and
| supple waist.
| The blouse sketched is in beige crepe
de chine with brilliant embroidery
| that is reminiscent of the circus, done
| in gold and silver in green, red and
| black; such are the vivid ornamental
the side and is casually caught at the
| neck: the short sleeves are open at
| the back.
Upholstery BlOuses Seen.
| Women are quick to see that here is
| a garment which can actually be built
out of scraps. The attic trunk may
be opened to good effect, that poor old

table covers.

Ways With Spring SteWs.

Stews seem to most persons TOO
heavy for the warm Weatner eACte'
They are now we'll enough in the WIN
ter. but in the summer prolIeo OF
roasted meats are best.
Stews, however, are TOO oouclOue
and too economical to be relegateo 10
winter use only. And II they are care
fully made and daintily served there
is no reason why they are not 1ust
as suitable to summer as to WINTER
use.
The garnishing and favoring OF
stew have more to do with its season
ableness than anything. One thick Win
potatoes, turnips and carrots would. 10
be sure, be unsuitable to q hot spring
day. But ono favored with tiny spring
onions. strips Of green pepper ana
minced parsley and served around
mound Of green peas would be quite
different dish.
So to begin with. choose the ingre-
dients Of the stew with care and IN
telligence. Here are some good COM
binations:
Lamb stew around a mound Of green
garnished with minced parsley and
mint leaves, sprinkled over just as the
stew is served.
Lamb stewed with quartered green
sweet peppers and served with very
small rice croquets or hominy balls
not bigger than walnuts.
Beef stewed with tomato and green
pepper and served with new potatoes
rolled in melted butter and then in
minced parsley.
Beef stewed with shreds Of little
onions and with whole young carrots
not more than an inch and a half or
two inches long. Serve with mashed
white potatoes.
Veal stewed with little tomato
juice and served with sweet potatoes.
Lamb stewed with okra and toma-
toes.
The meat should be washed and
trimmed of fat and bone, and then
dropped into boiling water. and, as
soon as the water reaches the boiling
point after being cooled by the meat
it should be simmered slowly until
it is very tender. Then it should

After the public debated for an un-

Three employers of union ma

at 80 cents an hour in spite of the
decision of the Machinists' union to

raised to IS cents.
G. c. Edgerly, secretary and gen.

'clared that employers would stand

asking for IS cents an hour, but are

Driver Is Paroled On
First Guilty Plea to
New Automobile Law

The first plea under the new law
passed by the last state legislature
and aimed at reckless automobile
driving was made yesterday, when
John McKenna pleaded guilty to
manning, dishguring and causing
death while operating motor vehi-
Gle on the highway at an excessive
and unlawful rate of speed" He was
paroled to Adult Probation Officer
Andreason for two years.
McKenna was driving an automo-
bile which collided with another car,
driven by Oscar Johnson, 54S3 Lari-
more avenue, at Thirteenth street
and Deer Park boulevard the night
of November ,, 1919.
Philip Kellogg, a South Side COM
mission man, was thrown from the
car driven by McKenna and killed.
McKenna was paroled on the
ground that he was driver en-
ployed by Kellogg and driving un-
der his direction and therefore was
not entirely responsible for the ac-
cident.

q HEHERAZADE was q vizier's
daughter and when she besought
her father to wed her to King
Shahriar it was cause for grief to the
vizier. For each day was it Shahriar's
wont to put to death his bride of the
day before. It befell, however, that
sSheherazade had her will. AS she ~'
hoped, the king was wakeful and to
beguile him she began a story of
magic. Dawn broke before she had
finished and so eager was Shahriar to
hear it all that he gave no order for
her execution.
For thousand and one nights did
this befall while Sheherazade told
tales OF love, war and sorcery, of kings,
beggars and rogues, of lands where
diamonds were more plentiful than
pebbles and bigger than eggs, of in
trigues in the lanes and bazaars of
Oriental cities. In towns and deserts
and far islands did necromancers work
their Wills. Horses flew; dogs talked
mermaidens and creatures greater
than whales peopled the deeps; ogres
and enormous apes crept out of for
ests; birds so great that their wings
darkened the day swOoped from the
skies. Here, too, were lovers in pal
aces and novels, bold and cowardly,
get all so enamored that they swooned
at the very thought Of the beloved.
Underlying all was the colOrful ORR
ant, with BARRIERS and porters jostling
caliphs and princesses in the thronged
and picturesque lanes of three cities
whose very names conjure up romance
-Bagdad, Cairo and Damascus.
Now these are the best liked of She
herazade's tales:
Tho Story Of AIaddin's Lamp.
OF Aladdin, son of a poor tailor In
China, a prankish scamp. An African
magician guided him to a subterranean
cave where he found the lamp that
summoned the genie. Out of nothing
ness did this genie spread banquets
for Aladdin and robe him in rich raj
ment. He provided him retinues of
slaves, bearing basins heaped high
with precious stones. who carried to
the king Aladdin's suppliance for the
hand of the beautiful Princess Badroul-
boudour. In q night did the genie raise
a palace of glowing wonders. of shin
ng marble and gold and silver, with
sindows incrusted with diamonds, en-
raids and rubies. with fragrant gar
lens and open courts. So Aladdin mar
ried the princess and they knew great
10y. But the magician returned, stole
the lamp and in trice transported
the palace and the princess to Africa.
Then was Aladdin woeful, but by
magic he found his beloved, poisoned
the magician, seized the lamp and
came to China, where he and Badroul-
boudour lived happily ever afterward.
The Story of Sinbad.
OF Sinbad the sailor and his marvel
Gus voyages. Wherein it is related
that Sinbad landed upon what seemed
an island but which was a great fish
that sank into the sea. And of other
voyages and greater wonders, of which
one marvels most at the adventure
with the roc, the bird so huge that it
feeds its young with elephants. Sin
had had fastened himself to the roc's
eg and it bore him to an impenetra-
bIe valley strewn with precious stones
rom which he escaped by binding him.
Palisadian., 1920-06-26

and where books are difficult to get,
these professional readers are In great
demand. They pick up here and there
tales that appeal to all and bind them
into a long narrative. Some people
have thought that Homer's long pOems
originated in this way.
Everywhere In the near east the
traveller finds these story-teIIers to-
day. An eager audience collects to
hear them, each paying a small fee
for the privilege of listening. The en-
tertafner declaims he walks to and
fro and always stops his narrative Just
before an exciting climax, SO that he
will be assured of listeners on the
morrow. His audience follows his re-
cital with breathIess interest, especial-
ly when he illustrates thrilling epi-
sOdes with lively pantomime.
Year after year these groups cs
listeners gathered centuries ago. The
stOry-teller discarded the tales that
did not hold the attention of his lis
teners Gradually the process of ellm-
lnation went on until only the best
were handed down by word of mouth
from generation to generation. Then
some unknown beDefactor of mankind
had them written down and connected
them with the framework of Schehera.
1nde and Shahriar. And these are the
Arabian Nights that have delighted
children and grown men and women
for decades.
