copy readers and Office boys jumped

dashed frantically for the stairs. out

| Sloan and five reporters had started
for the scene of the Rutland disaster
| fifteen miles away, where enough
giant powder had gone up IN one
petrific blast to raze Gibraltar. A
thriving town lay in ruins; hundreds
of families were homeless: a steam.
ship was sunk at her dock: a passen.
fger train blown from the rails.
At II o'clock on the night following
that p!tiful day Sloan journeyed
homeward to Ashland in an inter.
urban trolley car in company with a
crowd of refugees. A copy Of the
last edition Of the Bee comforted his
weary soul.
The first page was triumph. Count
on the Office to back up it's men In the
field! There was the whole story
the whole horror and heartbreak
finely displayed. There were his pho
tographs of the wreckage: there. in a
box. was his interview with the su-
perintendent of the Rutland Company
there was a map Of the devastated
area. Perhaps some one. had found
time even to do an editorial; in that
case the cleanup would be COM

he groaned; for the first thing that
caught his eye was Willie Downey's
essay. at the top Of D. K. It's column.

Hedgehog as Food.

The hedgehog was long esteemed
for it's white and tender flesh by the
rural population in many parts Of
Europe. and 1t is said that the eating
of this animal is persisted in by
gypsies throughout Europe today. A
friend Of the hedgehog has said that
the proper way to cook 1t Is to bake
it in clay in a wood fire, that the
spines and skin come on with the clay
coating and that the white and ten
der meat reminds one Of anything
from hare to young pork.

DARK BLUE FOR EVENING WEAR.
BY ANNE RIrrENHoUsE.

No one who keeps a sharpened
weather eye on the movements OF
Fashion failed to see the tendency to-
ward dark blue for wear under the
electric light as soop as winter gayety
Aegau. This movement was all the
more remarkable because the color
had given way to beige and gray and
black for the things we wear in the
day. The reason for the e.incoming of
the sunshine shade into the night
lights was the slight WEAKNESS
shown by the dressmakers toward all
black costumes. G.
The blue that is chosen is not ex-
actly the shade known as marine. 1t
IS sapphire. which indicates that 1t
has more warmth and sparkle than
any other kind of deep blue. There
are admirable glimpses in it of
gayety. Soberness, such as one wants
or rather accepts. in street colorS is
definitely lacking.
The dyers have done their job well.
They have got into blue velvet es-
pecially the depth of tone they have
put into ruby velvet. which is by way
of being one of the most Selective
cnlors of the hour.
bsFhe dressmakers began to show
their prediction for dark blues in
formal evening gowns as soon as the
intense not weather Setfln last sum-
mer Which marked the time for the
opening guns in the fashion battle.
The fabrics they chose were velvet,
satin, n fine georgette crepe. with the
decided preference given to velvet.
Not only were these materials built
into low frocks for brilliant occasions,
but into afternoon coat suits of the
kind chosen by the American more
than any other race of women be-
cause of their,intensive social life be-
tween the hours of and {. The Eng

are, offered before dinner, and the
.frock of blue is as much sought as
the suit. 1t Is trimmed with fur

The sketch shows a formal evening

waistless, sleeveless, but the skirt is
long and the hips are accentuated.
Z It's glory lies in the girdle. There
is nothing startling about this. for

former.

Evening star., 1921-11-28

Electric and other mechanical wash
ing devices have brought the task
of washing up many, many pegs in
the scale of household tasks. And
now there are many women who
would very much rather do their own
washing than to wash dinner dishes
or bake cake. Women in the home
are becoming immensely interested
in the various processes of clothes
washing. They are beginning to real
ize that 1t is almost as important to
have their clothes washed under
their food cooked under such sur
round;ngs.
Even If a woman has not the con-
venience sof a mechanical or electric
washing machine, the stationary tub
of fairly recent introduction makes
washing clothes almost chi1d's play
compared to what 1t was.
