Notes by Wire
To The Argus

London, Jan. TN these days of
high taxes the average English
woman is not so anxious about the
number of evening frocks she can
get along with as about the num-
Der she can get along without.
That is one explanation of the pop
ularity of the black evening gown.
A woman with one discreet black
frock can transform it into a half
dozen costumes by the use of lace
tunics, floral girdles, decorative
overskirts and other detached de-
tails One such frock of heavy
black crepe moroccan was trans
formed by smart, loose hanging,
jet embroidered panels, slipped
around the waist A Chinese coatee
of silver lace slipped over the head
and reaching to the hips changed
nation made a skirt composed en-
tirely of heavy black silk fringe.
New York, Jan. 7.-Girdles may
be dropping down in position but
not in popularity or price. They
continue to form a distinctive and
colorful addition to many of the
dresses, suits and coats now being
worn and are developed in many
novel designs. One striking eX-
ample worn with coat of mirror
velvet is heavy long fringed belt
of pompiian-red crystal tubes in
terspersed with jet PLAQUES. Beads
are worn in the form of decorative
girdles on tailor made coats. A
striking example appeared today on
suit of elephant gray veloutine
trim with white monkey fur and
confined at the waist line by belt
of dull white beads. Another new
girdie is a wide mesh of silver
fastening in front with three large
buttons.
New York, Jan. TT isn't a
skirt, it's a ruffle." That is the
way one father here described the
new frock of his 3-year-old daugh-
te- today. For if the skirts of the
grown-ups have become longer the
skirts of the tiny tots have grown
so short as almost to be non-exist-
emit The little peasant smocks
made Of French wolfe and embroid-
cred with flowers are extremely
popular while many party dresses
for the little girls are of white
satin brightly embroidered some
times with the skirts made in
points, each point weighted with a
large soft colored ball.
London, Jan. What could be
more natural than that the seal OF
popular approval should be i'm
pressed on coats of sealing wax
red. Such coats which are being
widely worn here by the younger
girls are OF the Russian blouse
type and many OF them are heav-
lily bordered with gray lamb. Elab-
crate girdles play an important
part of the decoration of each OF
these garments. These girdles may
be of silk cords cunningly inter
laced or metallic braids worked
over in raised silk designs and
very tiny beads

, lay it on one side Then from the
center of the decorative desks body
is raised the head of the new motor
driven sewing machine. Milady
brings up a chair and begins her
sewing.
More has been done than merely
to improve the outer case, however.
Months of painstaking labor have
been spent in improving the sewing
mechanism All the bad points of
the old fashioned machines have
been eliminated; all the good points
of good machines the world over
have been put into the new ma
chine. The best feed was still fur
Their improved.
! Silent, smooth, with built-in mo-
| tor, perfect in control, this latest
development in sewing machines is
said to approach the ideal and to be
in class by itself.
Try These.
Instead of grating chocolate,
break up a cake and put through
your meat grinder. Keep in a
tight can. You will find it very
| convenient when in a hurry and it
only takes a few minutes.
Hand-picked, choice salt Goldfish
| or other salt fish may be replaced
by an inexpensive grade of bone
| less salt fish, ground in the food
grinder and stored in a glass can
for use. Gravy, fishballs, hash, or
chowder is quickly made with this
prepared fish.
! Soured condensed milk may have
two parts of water added and be
used for cooking the same as other
sour milk. When you find your
breakfast cream nearly sour, it will
not separate if coffee is poured into
the cream instead of vice versa.
Suggestions.
An Excellent Kindling-An ex-
cellent kindling for a fire may be
made by the following method:
Soak newspapers in water over
night; squeeze out as much water
as possible; press together in hard
balls and when dry they are ready
| to kindle the fire. A basket CT
! them will burn for some time and
| throw out as much heat as wood.
Grease the top of the corn meal
which is to be cooled and sliced for
! frying. No crust wiz form on the
loaf and the fried, crisp slices will
| be improved.
Heat the knife which you use to
! cut hot cake or hot bread by dip
ping it into hot water, then the
| slices may be quickly and evenly
| cut
