LACE, is USED WITH CREPE
Combination Promises to Be Popular
for Spring ann Summer, Fashion
Writer Says.

The use of a lace along with a
crepe material is something that will
be popular not only for wear but for
the summer season. There is de-
mand for lace just so long as the for
nal styles insist upon holding the
center of the stage, and as long as lace
is the fashionable thing it behooves
those women who love to be in the
center of the style to use it to the last
limits of its possibilities. A dress is
made of gray crepe along with widths
of lace which are dyed to match the
silk. The sleeves are made of wide
widths of the lace draped on to make
the flowing sort of arm draperies
which are so much in the center Of the
present styles. Then, pieces of the
lace are taken and inset into the
bodice Of the gown, SO that certain
portions Of the crepe are left to show
and still the lace is left to hold the
center of the stage. There are panels
or motifs, however you wish to de-
scribe them, and they are the adorn-5
merits of the low and medieval bodice
that is cut in one with the circular
skirt that drops low at the sides and
is left to show by reason of the folds
Of its crepiness how very graceful the
modern adapted styles may be.

one corner or in the center, to be used
to pin it to whatever garment is chosen
for It.
At the top of the group pinwheel
sachet, of printed ribbon, is formed
of four triangular pieces tackled to-
gether at one point. Each triangle is
made Of two pieces Of ribbon sewed
together with small opening left for
inserting the cotton, or the silk raVel-
ings, containing the scented powder.
The openings are afterward sewed up.
A rosette of baby ribbon is seWed to
the center of the pinwheel, completing
a small sachet to be placed in drawers
containing lingerie.
Narrow satin ribbon, woven over ana

gathered on a little silk cord.

FOR STOUT WOMEN
Square Neck and Balkan Blouse
Becoming to PortIy.
Garment Is Suitable, Besides Being
Fashionabl, for The Women of
ing Outfit.

Stout women are becoming more
amenable to the plans and contrivances
of designers. Judging by the styles
being introduced for stout women,
they have apparently forgotten or con-
scented to overlook their prejudices.
The Peter Pan type of collar, for in
stance, is glimpsed for the large wom-
en-. In regular sizes, this round, youth
full collar is being used a good deal for
suits that have jackets in box or fare
style.
The bateau neck has always been an
other bugbear for stout women, but
when it is cut a little low in front, and
when the bodice is trimmed or paneled
on lengthwise lines, this neck is not
unbecoming.
Glad tidings for stout women is the
news that the square neck is extremely
well thought of in Paris. While this is
not perhaps as becoming as the V-out-
line, it is susceptible of long and mar
row treatment, and when not tooSshal-
low is a becoming neck for the woman
of full figure.
Reverring to suits, another feature
in the extra size models is the adoption
of the Balkan blouse finish, that is, the
wide band at the lower edge Of the
jacket. AS this girdles the hip it
might be thought Inappropriate for the
large woman. 1t is becoming and suit
able to say nothing of fashionable,
for the stylish stout" figure. How
ever, it is not so good for the woman
of large hip and smaller bust. The
Jacket with ample flare and the narrow
tie belt remains her best selection. In
the Balkan style slight blouse gives
a straight line above the girdle, and is
very becoming.
In dresses. draperies continue to

although the housewife evidently has
only a farm kitchen with few con-
veniences. She does not even possess
a drain board, which would be very
desirable if placed on her left where
the table now is Right-handed per-
sons ordinarily hold what they are
washing in the left hand and apply
the mop or dish cloth with the right,
so that when the dish is set on drain
board at the left they do not have to
cross their hands. In spite of this sim
pie and obvious way of doing the
work, it is common to find in houses
offered for sale or for rent right
hand drain board, Installed probably
by some masculine architect who did
not think out the process of doing the
work or consult any woman about it.
Having two drain boards, drain
board at the left and level shelf at
the right-hand side of the sink for
stacking the soiled dishes is even
more convenient than having only one
drain board
Many Steps Saved.
There is only one tap shown IN the
picture, and the large kettle on the
stove suggests that the housekeeper
has to heat all the water she needs.
Running hot water Is a great boon,
but not available in all homes. Steps
have been saved in this instance by
placing the sink fairly near the stove,
and by bringing all the dishes from
the dining table into the kitchen on
the tea-cart. Utensils that hang up
are put on hooks Oh the wall right
over the sink; and evidently all the
pots and pans were washed before the
meal was served, which greatly short
ems the time for the entire job Of dish
washing.
The sink is several inches higher
than the table, so that the housewife
does not have to stoop over it. When
the clean dishes are set in the drain
basket the task will be done, as nearly
all of them will probably be wanted
on the table for the next meal II
the china is to be put away, a set of
shelves within reach of the sink
would save many steps.

scented. Bits of ribbon or silk provide
the wherewithal to make the plain
squares, meant for pinning in the lin
yerie or dress, to add the Elusive charm
Of faint perfume to the presence of the
wearer. Old ribbons or silks, raveled
out, may be used for the padding that
carries the scented powder, or cotton
will answer to fill the sachets. A half
dozen small sachets In as many colors,
are slipped on a large safety pin,
bearing a rosette of baby ribbon. Each
little sachet is provided with tiny

POINTS IN GOOD DRESSING
Women Who Are Wise Recognize I'M
portance of Careful Selection
IF Accessories.

Never hive accessories been Of
greater Importance than in the present
season. The woman who is wise in
fashion lore recognizes the full value
of each detail of her costume, 1t is
this knowledge that distinguishes a
really smart woman from the one who
merely wears good-looking clothes.
So much depends upon line and
color The contrast given by trail
ing sash, the brilliancy added by a
gIittering couture ornament the grace
Of line achieved by a necklace or pend
ant of the right length, are subjects
for thought and study, so that every
woman mag find exactly the type Of
ornament and the lines best adapted
to her individual type.
With the picturesque and more for
nal style Of dressing has come an
awakened interest in ornaments for
the hair. Extremely varied IN type,
these range from the simple band of
silver ribbon closely bound about the
head to a gorgeously jeweled affair,
quite Russian in character, and gilt
tering with brilliants and silver en-
broidery. Other headdresses reveal an
Rrtful use of wildly tinted flowers,
Two of which are arranged over the
left ear.
Then there are shoe buckles Of
every size and shape, and designed
with all the painstaklng care that goes
into the fashioning Of real jewellery.

styles in all branches of apparel.
There is a demand for white, or for
mixtures Of a color with white, in
which white predominates. Even in
bold, printed silks the combinations
are Of white with tan or beige, and
white with green. Tan and beige are
in high favor for this kind of apparel,
and color contrasts are used with much
restraint.
Plain and striped fannels and other
lightweight cloths are employed for

Have you ever timed yourself wash
ing dishes, or doing any of the other
less agreeable tasks, to see whether
there was any way of shortening the
work? Or noticed what motions you
make with your hands during this and
other daily jobs? Or how many steps
you take in connection with a meal
particularly when you are clearing the
table and washing the china and other
utensils used during the meal and its
preparation? Every motion requires
energy, and unnecessary motions use
up unnecessary energy, leaving one
fatigued with no real gain. And when
actual minutes are saved, they can
be put to more interesting uses than
the routine of daily dishwashing.
One Of the best ways to observe
yourself, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture, is to make a
time, method and motion study Of the
different duties about the house. 1t
will add zest to the homework, help
to make one see measures necessary
for reform, and make one ready to
assist an inefficient neighbor.
Use Unnecessary Energy.
Starting with dishwashing There
are several ways of attacking the
task. Try the way you are doing the
work, observing as you go whether
there are any motions made which
could be eliminated, or if anysspart of
the process could be shortened. For
instance, those who possess dishwash-
ing machines expect to leave the
dishes to dry themselves after being
washed and rinsed with very hot
water. This principle can be applied
perfectly well to dishes draining in a
basket if a kettleful Of clean, hot
rinsing water is poured over them.
The process of wiping can then be
entirely eliminated except possibly
for the glass and silver. Fewer towels
are thus used, and the amount OF
washing of tea-towels is reduced.
Look at the details in the above
picture and see how many time and
motion saving suggestions it contains,

Shocks and Tunics.

Few things have had more wide
spread influence upon the fashions of
this decade than the oddly beautiful
handiwork of peasant folk Of Europe
and the primitive art of India. There
is compelling beauty about these
curious designs and crude contrasts
Of color. Children's clothes especially
lend themselves to the decorative hand
work copied from the smocks and
tunics Of simple peasants, and there
is quaint charm about the city frocks

Recipe for Pudding.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Gelatin can be used in the prepare
ton of a great variety OF attractive
desserts which are liked by young as
well as by old and are for this reason
convenient for occasional use IN faml-
lies where adults and children must
both be provided for. Gelatin Is
used in such small amounts that 1t
cannot be relied upon to furnish
much nourishment. 1t takes up a
large amount of water, however, and
forms bulky or light desserts. Such
desserts, which include also succulent
fruits and fruit ices, are particularly
accountable after comparatively
heavy meal. Gelatin is a good means
of introducing fruit juices. and to
some extent also vegetable juices like
those Of tomatoes and cucumbers,
into the diet. These juices contain
yitamins. some of which are probably
destroyed by heat, so that 1t is well
TO know variety of ways of serving
them raw. One of these ways Is in
the form Of gelatin desserts. Inc Tol-
loving recipe is recommended by the

ture.

Soak gelatin in the cold water and
then dissolve it in hot water. After

to beat until it is stiff enough to

fuls on a glass dish. Serve with a
soft custard made with the egg yolzs.
Variety can be obtained in this
dish by substituting fruit juices for
all or part of the water. Fruit juices
like those of grapes and berries that
are not injured in flavor by heat can
be used in place of the water for dis
solving the gelatin, though this may
destroy some of the vitamlns.
