and q change We simply must have. II
b an very wen to talk Of economy and
wearing the same dress for long pc
rod Of time. but there Is a point where
economy ceases to be a virtue. and
that Is the pOlntEhere We do not have
a feeling OF newness or pleasure In
our clothes and where they react upon
rs and make Us feel dOwdy and unIn-
teresting. To change from the serges
and yelours Of winter into a frock Of
satin OF crepe de chine Is very re-
freshlng.
An afternoon dress from Jenny de-
velOped in taupe satin OF n rather
heavy quality is IN the one-side effect
which was 50 much a feature OF the
autumn models. The sleeves are un-
usual and fun length, and the neck Is
finished with a high staniing collar.
This is a good model for spring. and
might be developed in any OF the
shades OF brown or IN black.
Lace Favored in Varied Effects.
One Of the very newest satin mod
els Is in a dun brOnze shade with an
Overdress in redlngote style made OF
bronze crepe georgette embroidered In
a leaf and floral design In bronze silk
threads The redingOte Is open Gom
neck to hem. revealing a tight fOunda-
ton Of the satin. and Is caught at a
low waistline with a metallic ribbon
which ties in a small bow at the left
side. A wide band Of brown fur trims
the flowing sleeves, which are three
quarters length.
The popularity Of lace is likely to
continue throughout the summer, at
least, and with the vogue for lace we
may expect the continuation Of draper
les and-panels. Three-quarter length
sleeves Of interesting cut are featured
In many Of the lace frocks. and follow
ing this closely are the three-quarter
length flowing chiffon sleeves which
may appear in a dress made entirely
Of velvet or satin and be OF a strik-
ingiy contrasting color, such as one Of
the new reds in a dress OF black satin.
A girdle sash may match the sleeves
IN fabric and color.
The vogue for the lace dinner gown
is very pronounced. Whereas IN the
past II was made over satin, velvet or
metal cloth furnishes the present-day
foundation for a lace gown. Russian
effects are much liked.

velvet. The lace Is a black chantilly
and the foundation all Of green velours
de Lyon. The skirt drapery and novel
mantlelike wrap are formed by the
lace.
Such plentiful use Of lace has
lightened for the time being the
work Of the embrOlderer's needle, for
the lace frock takes the place Of the
one which Is very elaborateiy orna-
mented with needlework.
With the fashion for pointed panels
favored so strongly by Madeleine Won
net, one Of the most authoritative max
ers OF the present day, many pointed
laces are used.
For young girls there are pinafores
Of lace over foundations Of bright-col-
ored brocades or taftetas. In direct
opposition to these straight-line frocks
are the full-skirted models that Ian

models, brought out in the autumn.

wise make it expensive, for Ii re-
quires a great deal Of thought to
have ones clothes cIeverly plain.
There are any number Of forms Of
trimming for serge frOcks, and each
one may suggest to the woman gifted
In designing her own clothes or In
giving an individual touch to the
designs Of others various modifca-
tons Of each idea. In other words,
each way Of trimming suggests other
ways, just as a good model is adapta-
bic to a number of variations.
On a blue serge frock from Renee
of Paris the trimming takes the form
Of elaborate soutache braiding and
embroidered in black and blue. A
charming feature is the novel arrange
ment Of the side panel and the under
skirt which slips through a slash in
the overdress to form a sort Of pock-
ct The slashed portion fastens with
a button and buttonhole. The panel ap-
pears on the left side only. On the
sleeves there is a similar trimming.
Little soIaee for Thick AnbIe&
Many Of the best designers are max
Ing skirts that are really long.
Serge frequently Is combined with
lace. This, Of course, makes quite q
drssy frOck. It Is hard for some Of
us TO reconcile the idea Of such a COM
bInation. since in past seasons serge
has meant the purely practical.
Leather trimmings appear on some
Of the serge models. The leather Is
punched with eyelets In all sorts Of
designs. This idea is not new, but
dressmakers report that II is just
now in the full bloom Of its popular
iy.
The dresses made entirely Of leath-
er are very Interesting. We have had
leather coats Of various sorts for many
years, but the chemise frock Of soft

Trimming would he out Of the ques-
don on frocks such as these. The
sleeves are cut in one piece with the
dress and are short. coming well above
the elbow. There Is always a wide
sash of the soft leather which ties on

these have been used most effectively

COOKING CEREAL.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: This is the season of the year when most everyone uses larger amount of cereals 1T you are cooking cereal and do not know the taste Of all who are to eat it use salt in the proportion of one level teaspoon to ono quart of water. no matter what sort of cereal you use. Some persons like cereal Aalted slightly more than this but it is best not to use more salt unless you know the taste of those Whe areS to Cat the finished product.
 Never cook for less time than the d. rectfons indicate on package. If possible cook longer Remember that two or three hours cooking cereal in a double boiler does not injure i;, and usually improves it. For cooking oatmeal ard cornmeal and some other heavy cereals for chil- dren it is better to let them cook three or four hours.
 Any sort of cereal can be cooked to | advantage overnight on coal stove Ii l yo1i dos not let the cereal cool but keep i it cooking at low temperature all the 1 time even the finest ground cereal will not lump with long cooking.
 If cereal has crusted over or hardened | lRtle at the top after long cooking. dc | not stir at once but add a little boiling water and let this soften the top crust
 before mixing i;.
 Taste varies with regard to the righ l consistency for cereal, but remembei ! that if you are to use plain milk. not
 cream, on cereal it is better not to make it very thin, as thin cereal with thir milk makes a rather tastslesa mixture When rice is to be used as break
 fast cereal it is always beat to cook it il 1 the double boiler, as you would any cth CT cereal, as this makes 2 cTeamier, Fnor porridse like dish than is the csse whe1 you cook it in actively boiling water. Kitty Lou: Received and was mucl rlezse.l with your Xmas card.
