Cool Wearables That Are Bewitching-
Iy Dainty for Home Wear During
SWeltering Days.

The leisure hours of warm wealth
er require cool negligees. Bewitch-
ingly dainty for summer mornings is
a breakfast coat of batiste, in pink,
blue. orchid or lemon, trimmed with
picot-edged points. The coat is cut TO
fail considerably below the hips and
there is heightened by flounce of the
material. with a double row of the
picot points. A long roll collar to
the waist is also outlined with the
pretty points, and short sleeves are
likewise cuffed. A bit of grosgrain
ribbon in a contrasting shade forms
slim girdle at the normal waist
line and drops in long ends at the
front.
Could anything be more wearable

with pretty ruching decoration? a
white vOile background is plentifully
dotted in pink, blue or lavender dots
and the coat is cut on the long fash

The lower flounce is set on by a
cord and the ruching borders the
bottom, collar and tiny turn-back
cuffs. Big patch pockets adorn the
front.

the effect, but they didn't like to part
with their long tresses. SO hairdress-
ers thought of the side pieces-the
aarmuffs-the thingamajigs that men
have ever since been complaining
about and femininity, satisfied with
the deception, with one accord wore
its hair in a large mop over its ear.
And so the style remained for two
years Or more. Then, six months ago
it was announced that no more would
the ear remain the mystery-it was to
be barred for all the world to see. The

said that the selection and Organiza-
ton of food in the diet is as impor
tant as the organization of an army
A properly disciplined force of soldiers
is more effective than an unframed
mob, we will agree.
One of the essential things to re-
member is the different groups of
foods:
l. Foods which provide protein
which builds muscle; these are milk,
eggs, cheese, meat, poultry. dried
peas, beans and lentils, as well as
fish.
2. Foods which furnish us starch
and sugar; these are cereals. meals.
fiours, bread, macaroni, potatoes and
such starchy foods; sugar in various
forms such as honey, molasses. can.

cakes and desserts.
8. Foods which furnish fat. Sun

A. Foods which supply mineral
salts, vegetable acids and body-regu-
lating substances. This is a most inn
portant group and has been sighted
in the planning of the ration far too
often. We find these substances i'm
apples, pears, berries, melons, oranges.
lemons and other fruits; in salads of
green vegetables, such as lettuce and
cress; in green's like spinach, greer
peas, tomatoes and squash.
If these four divisions are included
in the diet there will be no lack OF
the necessaries for growth and health.
When purchasing supplies for the
family table think in terms of these
groups. Some hOusemother will say:
"My family will not eat such and such
foods. or certain members of my fam
iIy will not eat the kinds Of food
necessary for them to keep in perfect

Every great dressmaker, writes a
fashion correspondent, is featuring

1t is interesting to note that these
dresses in lingerie are not actually
made by the dressmaker but are
bought outside from the little work

ordering from six to a dozen dresses
of this character for her summer

In cotton one finds voile batiste
and organdie made up in this style.
The hand-drawn organdies are really
exquisite and both the voiles and
mousSelines are extremely practical.
Linens in both handkerchief and dress
weights are being used in the same
way. Ii is amazing the number of
dresses of this character being shown
and the big orders taken by manufac-
turers as well as private individuals.
Many organdies are done with very
beautiful open patterns embroidered in
the style known as broderie Anglaise.
Other lovely models are appliqued in
