A FASHION OF ANOTHER CENTURY
ny ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

The comforting thought is given
us by those who study the history
of fashion that it Is not necessary
to lace the corsets in order to adopt
a tight bodice.
The reason this statement allays
anxiety is that the tight bodice is
slowly infiltrating through to the
front lines of fashion. 1t is rec
ognized garment in Paris; 1t may be-
come feature of fashion over here
hibitions of clothes held in Paris
in August will decide that vexed
question. The American buyers will
be there, as we'll as the rest OF US
who follow the flag of fashion wher-
ever it is raised.
quire small waist line. because 1t
is to be worn after the manner Of
Queen Elizabeth and her ladies; the
bodice passes over the. waist line
proper and runs to a boned point
which promotes the appearance of
small waist without demanding 1t:
Whatever the amelioration of this
bodice when it comes to be worn by
the American woman the truth is that
1t does change the contour of the fig
ure. It is not compromise. 1t is
revolution. 1t destroys the straight
line from shoulder to heel, it in
creases the size of the hips, it short
ems the line under the arms and de-
mands a f1attened abdomen. The pub
lie has been dressing in, manner
entirely different from this. 1t has
made a fetish of a contour that was
exactly opposite. The acceptance of
this tight bodice with it's elongated
point in front means the overthrow
of all that has governed our clothes
for two decades.
The sketch shows a dinner gown
worn in Paris. 1t was well observed
by Americans who are in that city
for the purpose of gathering ideas to
exploit in this country. The tight
underskirt, the shapely bodice hor-
rowed from another spoch. are of
black satin. The full skirt with its
several points is of thin white crepe
and the rosettes which Paris insists
upon are of white lace with centers
of black taffeta-
The full skirt is accepted. There
is no longer any argument on that
question. 1t is placed over a tight
foundation which seems to steady it
and create a link between what was
and what is to be. The fashion of
cutting the full overskirt into points
is more acceptable to America than
placing several wide founces about
the skirt in even lines. The former
fashion is not new. Young women
have accepted 1t in dance frocks for
several years, but it has gained new
importance by using the fullness over
tight skirt in another color or
fabric, then mounting a tight bodice
above 1t.
AS far as the fashion has gone the

To Make Homework
Easier in Summer

It is true economy, If you have
little money to invest, to buy various
pieces of kitchen and household equip
ment to make the work Of house
keeping in the summer easier. You
will be surprised, If you are a house.
keeper, to see just how much easier
you can make the housework by buy
ing a few things for the kitchen.
Just as thorough screening of the
house makes it place twice as pleas
ant to live in as it was when the
screens were inadequate or worn out,
so the possession of some of these
kitchen helps makes the kitchen a
really pleasant place to spend part Oh
the warm days.
To begin with, If you can afford an
electric iron you will find one much
cooler to work with in summer. II
you have a side veranda with an cleo
trio light fixture on ii you can nave
the ironing taken there to do. and so
make the weekly ironing delight IN
stead Of a burden.
Then you will find the ironing OF
summer blouses and frocks easier II
you have an ironing board especially
course, are the bugbear in IRONING
frocks and blouses. And the spe-
cially constructed sleeve board that
clamps on the edge of table makes
their ironing twice as easy as IL
would otherwise be.
A marble pastry slab VIII make
the preparation of summer pastry
much easier You can buy small
one for two and a half dollars and
they run from this size to that SOLD
for twelve or thirteen dollars.
So. too, you can make the matter
of dish washing easier if you invest
in enough dishes of the right sort.
Get glasses that are easy to wash
Get dishes which can be used both
for cooking and serving dishes. The
glass cooking dishes are good in
vestment. They can be used for
cooking and serving vegetables. pies
buildings and all sorts of desserts.
They can also be used, in casserole
style, for stews and other meats.
An easily run ice cream freezer
perhaps an electric motor for turning
a freezer; a cake mixer, bread mixer,
complete equipment of up-to-date
canning apparatus. easily cleaned gar
bage cans-these and many other con-
(and don't forget comfort
able chairs for the kitchen) will make
the summer housework easier.

1t takes three dozen round button
radishes to make a hundred calory
portion. Obviously we do not eat rad
ishes for their nutritive value. No
very extended analysis has yet been
made OF the protein content Of the
edible roots, such as radisheS and
celery, but we know that they are
more like the leaf foods than like the
grains and tubers-that is, we know
that their value is due to protein. rather
than to the quantity Of nutritive stun
they contain.
Radishes are used raw as relish
One occasionally reads of them stewed
and served in cream sauce, but so far
cooked radishes have not come into
general favor.
To prepare radishes for the table,
remove leaves, stems and tip end OF
root; scrape them and serve them
whole on crushed ice. The skins of
radishes are rather indigestible and
should not be eaten unless the rad
ishes are very young and tender, SO
that the bitter principle has not yet
developed. Round radishes look very
pretty when cut to initiate tulips.
For this they should not be scraped,
but six missions should be made from
the tip end Of the root through the
skin, three-Quarters OF the. way up
the radish- The knife should then be
passed close under the sections of the
skin as far as these missions go. The
radishes are placed in cold water and
the sections Of skin fold back of their
own accord.
A little chopped radish, with its red
and white. served very fresh on a
salad gives a very pretty effect and
a delicious flavor, and one gets so little
radish actually that one is less likely
to find it indigestible. One reason
why people find radishes indigestible
is that they do not chew them thor
oughly. Thus chopped radishes are
less indigestible than the whole ones

Don't Let This Anhedonia Get You.

Just to make sure we all understand
let me say again that anhedonia is
incapacity to take pleasure in being
alive. We are now harping particu-
larly on splanchinic anhedonia. Not
a new disease, but just sort Of rem
iniscential phrase which expresses the
gloom that darkens the existence of
those who drift along on something
short of health plus, when this drift
ing is due to displacement or sagging
of divers and sundry in'ards.
Like eyestrain. tuberculosis. cardio-
vascular degeneration, or senile alo-
pecia (denudation of the dome in old
sters), pronounced displacement or
sagging OF one or more abdominal
viscera) doctors call it splanchnopto-
sis-ain't it fierceC may occur and
exist for a considerable time before the
victim comprehends or discovers what
is the matter. That is to say. in each
and all of the conditions mentioned,
although the victim, unless mentally
dull. does recognize that ne lacks
health plus or is not perfectly well.
he or she may experience no symp-
toms which would direct attention to
the origin of the trouble. Just an
hedonia, in other words.
Now, If I suspected that any reader
of these lines would follow what I
have said on this subject, TO the un-
warranta'ble conclusion that he or she.
ba vinT this here now anhedonia for
certain, must therefore be suffering
from a sagging stomach or something
like that. I'd discontinue this series
right here and return to good stand
ard subjects like overeating and bad
air which do little harm to even
healthy persons who just imagine
they have 'em.
II NAV be safe to quote from the
essay of Dr. Charles A L. Reed, pre-
viously referred to:
"Fyery case of chronic constipation
eyarv case of chronic headaches, every
case of psychosis tmental disease or
disturbance), every case Of chronic
toxemia whether convulsive (meaning
epilepsy or non-convulsive. (perhaps
migraine). should be examined WIN
reference to the presence or absence
of splanchnoptosis (sagging or dis.
placement Of abdominal organs).
