HOMEMADE "sUNDAES.
By HELEN KENDALL

T am making myself most popu- lar this summer by my homemade "sundaes," remarked vivacious matron whose two daughters have a perpetual merry following of young chaps and girl friends who motor, ride. play tennis or golf, and swim.
 T noticed that every time these goung things go into a soda fountain (which is every time they pass one) they order some sort of 'sundae. Plain ice cream or even ice cream soda seems to have dropped out of popularity in favor of the dozens of novel sundaes with fanciful names listed in every drug store.
 So I decided that I, too. could make sundaes. and would. If the youngsters were so fond of them why shouldn't all my guests be? So now, when we have a big freezer of cream made. l pour over each portion some one of the many combina tions that are so simple when you keep the 'makin's on hand. It is easy to chopped nut meats, marshmallow paste, chocolate syrup, candied cher ries, canned pineapple, small jars of preserved figs. strawberry jam, and the various conserves. Each of these makes luscious pour when blended with some rich syrup.
 "Of course, too, there are the fresh fruit pours.' The chocolate syrup, which is good and available all win ter, is abandoned now in favor of fresh strawberry syrup, real rasp- berry juice, fresh cherry mash and flesh peach sauce. I have found that mint jelly, slightly melted, makes a delicious blend when poured over vanilla ice cream. Rhubarb syrup is delicious with pineapple juice. In fact, you may make up your own 'sundae' as you go along. using what ever fruits, berries, or syrups you have at hand. Prunes. too, make a good pour"
 These sundaes make super-des- serts for dinner party, or to serve at a luncheon, bridge party, or buf- fet tea. They make it unnecessary to go to the trouble of making the ice cream itself elaborate. Plain vanilla, chocolate. or frozen custard makes a sufficient base for the melt ingly good sauce that is poured over it."

BY VIRGINIA TpHuRE VaEpsMIn


 She hung up the receiver with mingled emotions-most of them un- pleasant. She had summoned man from his work to talk to her, and he had probably been reprimanded on this account. Just as if she, Wini- fred Scott. did not have right to speak to friend during working hours! She had been in the habit of calling up Donald Muir whenever she pleased She wished she could have snubbed the up-ish operator who had sent for Richard. She wished that Richard himself had snubbed the girl and had told her that Miss Scott was not to be reprimanded by anyone.
 Besides all this she, Winifred. had fering to explain to Rankin how she had happened to be going into the Biltmore with Muir last night. She hated herself for offering any ex- planation. She had right to do as she pleased. She was no snob. but stand that she was not used to re- ceiving reproofs and making ex- pianations.
 She walked to the front window and gazed out over the river spark ling in the morning sunshine. She HOW the water out there had shone in the silver moon- light as she and Richard had sat and talked by this same window only two nights ago. She recalled his pale face. his musical voice as he had spoken of the poor men eating the crumbs that fell from the masters tables-identifying himself with that poor group, implying that he, an ed- ucated man, was willing to be classed as dog if. by so doing, he could help other "underdogs" in the fight of life.
 Hot tears sprang to her eyes. She was ashamed of her anger. The kind of thing that she had resented was what Richard Rankin must endure day in and day out as he worked downtown-the hireling of men less we'll born and less refined than he
 And it was all because he was not rich!
 Yet all he wanted money for was to help other poor people. That was his only aspiration.
 Ah-he Was noble! She had for gotten for a few hours how fine he was! But she would show him that her sympathies were with him! How his eyes would sparkle when she as- sured him that she would let him have money with which to carry out his beloved scheme of altruism!

 Because this recipe comes from a southern cook, there are no accu- rate measurements.
 Sam would always recommend a fiat hen"-"the fatter the better" and rough rice and plenty of pep per"
 This I know: The chicken is cut up and boiled in the water until tender. Should be cooked in good sized flat bottom kettle. When the chicken Is tender there should be enough of the stock to come up we'll around 1t, but not to cover it. Then put in with the chicken about a scant pint of we'll washed rice. This should be stirred once. Sam says, and allowed to steam slowly an hour. Use plenty of pepper to season and salt to taste. Each grain of rice should be fat and juicy. Successfully made 1t is delicious.
 Editors Note: The chicken pilau recommended by MT. Hays is deli- cious. A variation perhaps equally good, may be had by substituting broken spaghetti or vermicelli for the rice.

Indoor Garments Are
Pride of Many Women

Negligees, like dresses, are taking
on an elaborate note. Many Of the
newest lOunging robes might easily be
taken for elaborate evening mantles,
says a fashion writer in the New York
Tribune. They are cut in almost the
same form. The tissues employed
are almost exactly the same and they
are often heavily trimmed with fur.
In fact, there is no item of luxury
that has been overlooked.
One of the most important and ar
tistic creators of indoor garments in
Paris is M. Becker, whose conceptions
in indoor garments claim attention
from all leading distributors in Paris.
An interesting feature about the
Becker tea gowns is that they are
nearly all made from especially pre-
pared materials; that is, prepared
from a point Of decoration in the
form of embroidery or printing Thus
there is an exclusiveness about them
not to be counterfeited.
These are not all-over prints which
can be bought by the yard, but are
prints applied in just the form to
cover the definite needs ia the gar
ments for which they are intended.
Thus this designer shows lovely
kimonolike forms in printed yelvets
on which are shown most exquisite
designs in roses, making a riot of
color over the shoulders and the top
of the sleeves and then fading off
into the plain color Of the rround-
work. which forms the lower half of
the luxurious up-to-date lounging
robe. There are wonderful prints on
crepe de chine and on satin, and vel
vet seems to claim special attention
this year.

Marcia timidly offered to help, if he

produced a soft sigh Of wistfulness

unconscious Of 1t.
At this point in her reflections there

GIRDLE STYLE FOR
ONE~PIECE FROCKS
Decoration Gives Winsome
Touch to Classy Gowns
of Season.

The one-piece frock has brought into
fashion one Of the prettiest novelties
seen in many seasons, says a fashion
writer in the Kansas City Star.
1t is the girdle of medieval origin, a
modern adaptation Of that worn by
Shakespeare's heroines and other
ladies famous in poetry and painting.
Some Of the more elaborate jeweled
and metal girdles are faithful copies
from the antiques.
Since the waistline, literal or imag-
ined, has been dropped low on the hips,
sashes have been much in vogue; some
times wide, of soft material, swathing
the figure and caught with an orna-
ment or buckle; sometimes narrow, a
mere strap, to be tied at one side at
the back. Some Of the chemise frocks
are held in slightly with just heavy
ribbon one or two inches wide, haYing
a tassel or ball at each end.
Even a simple girdle of this sort

vived the strong use of ribbon decora-
ton in these little hats. which has
done everything from brim-binding to
entire covering, not to mention the
many forms of ribbon cocardes that
are seen. Felt has been worn for
every occasion, but there are many
other versions of the small hat that
are intensely interesting and which
are more appropriate for afternoon
and formal wear.
A good policy is to have the hat
match the slippers, thus finishing off
both the top and bottom of the O. TIT

tant in fall and winter apparel.
Two models of silk hats are typical
Of all. The black satin one is of the
shiny kind of satin and has an odd
roll curving over the entire top of the
hat and ending in an immense bow at
the right side. The bow is made of
three Dig loops of silk wired out to
hold their perkiness at the correct
angle.
A hat like this is especially adapted
for bObbed hair, as it is in itself suffi-
cient and needs no hair to help it out.
This is also true of the other hat,
which fits snugly over the head like
bathing cap. The material used in
this model is a heavy taffeta and
forms its own trimming by many rows
of cording. The only decoration used
is a dashing big pin thrust down
through two thicknesses of the hat.
