Color Combinations

an outstanding feature in this seasons

used in the same gown. Chiffons are
combined with reps; black, brown and
navy garments are combined with
green, red, white and bright printed
effects and so on.
In millinery color combinations are
popular but the shaded hat is the last
word in fashionable headgear. These
hats are simply exquisite blendings Of
several tones of one color, 4 charm

Waste not, want not is as good
q maxim today as when our great
grandfathers wrote it in the copy
books. BY careful purchase and use
of food, savings are effected for the
bousekeeper which can be applied adj
HantageoNsly to other departments of
living, such as having more convene
fences, more attractive Clothes. more
recreation, or longer education. At
the same time, the producers of
foods-the farmer and his wife-are
helped by intelligent purchasing be
cause it involves a greater variety of
products, the choice Of locally grown,
easily transportable foods, vegetables
bnd fruits in season, and the abandon
ing Of food prejudices.

agriculture suggests a number Of econ

BIouses Are Worn

Fashion goes by cOntrarleS, and even

In the New York Herald, she secretly
f1irts with the tuck-in model that has
always been an accessory of the strict
ly tailored suit. They are, too, nat
ura1 accompaniment of the separate
skirt and sweater mode, and the new
est models are bidding for popularity
in no uncertain terms. The materials
are dimity, lawn, linen and yoile, and
models are evenly divided between the
style that closes in front and the one
that fastens in back.
The youthful Peter Pan collar and
the V-neck prevail, and there is dis
tinct tendency in trimming to what is
known as the ''bosom" treatment, sug-
gested by tucks, drawnwork, lace in
serts and a combination OF trimmings

Of these waists are made entirely by
hand, and real laces, hand embroider-

variety of handwork are utilized to
make them lovelier than they have
ever been.
These waists are worn with the ia

rial is crepe or kin to it-and the
wrap-around style, when 1t is Of a
heavier fabric. The palmer type of
waist compliments the latter, while
the more elaborate hand-dOne affair is
accessory to the former mode.

New Paris Ideas
for Early Summer
presses Simple in Outline
and Very Complicated
in Detail.

Very lovely are the early summer
models now being shown by the lead
ing Paris dressmakers, writes a Paris
fashion authority in the Boston Globe.
Most of these dresses are simple in
outline and very complicated in de-
tail; this is the note Of the season.
Colored organdie muslin is going to
be exceedingly prominent this summer
and in many cases we shall find valu-
able laces dyed to match the unex-
pected colors of the muslin.
Green. in all shades, is one of the
most popular colors of the year. ]
have lately seen grass-green velvet
dinner dresses hemmed with sable and
embroidered in silver or pale gold. We
are entering on an era of brilliant col
ors and in this connection we shall
find green, bright blue and curious
shade of puce-pink much used.
Dress experts are insisting that
black dresses have "gone out" It is
certainly true that we see very few
all-black costumes this spring, but on
the other hand I find that the best
dressmakers in the rue de la Paix are
making black foundation for elabo-
rate and costly creations This is espe-
cially true Of black lace. There is a
certain make of fine black chantilly
which is freely used for dinner dresses,
plated or gathered and combined
very successfully-with dark blue
tulle or tete de negre chiffon.
1t is certain that flower trimmed
hats of an elaborae order will be very
much worn this summer. Just at the
immediate moment we are clinging to
our smart little cloche shapes trimmed
with a length Of ribbon, or merely with
a handsome tassel or plaque, but the
Paris milliners have decided to bring
back deliberately trimmed hats and /
am afraid we shall have to accept
them. This does seem rather a pity.
The small cloche has proved univer-
sally becoming, especially when accom-

linen, pongee and even satin trousers
and waists Of fine batiste or of silk
fabrics OF course there is much great
er diversity in frocks for girls than
one expects to find in boys suits-the
female of the species begins very
young to find life spiced up with con-
siderable variety in her clothes, there
fore, when she is INDUCED in two or
three dress-up frocks they are sure to
include color as well as white.

amount and kind Of light that is con-
tanned within the walls of your home?
Homes should be so well lighted that
conscious and very positive pleasure
come to us from this source. Light
has just such an effect upon us emo
tionally as has music, and just as has
lights inseparable companion color.
In planning the wiring of a house
the two most important things to keep
in mind may be expressed by two
words, abundance and convenience.
This may sound extravagant, but if
one stops to think of extravaganza in
terms of relatively he will, in all prob
ability, be surprised at the compare
tive slight cost Of lighting his home.
Take paper and pencil and make cal.
cdlation that will put the cost of illu-
mination in it's proper place on list
of expense items. Compare the
amount invested in wiring and light
ing a house with that of cur invest
ments in rugs and expensive draperies,
overstuffed furniture, attractive table
ware, table linen, paintings, ornamen-
tai vases, or other articles that may
occur to you. If you make fair cal
culation you will be more liberal in the
proportion Of the money expended on
light. And let us keep in mind con-
tinuously the double-harreled effect Of
light-the physical as well as the es-
thetic effect.

White dotted swiss for adults as well
as children is among the good sellers
this season. Ribbon sashesv corsages,
cabochons or flowers Of ribbon that can
be pinned on by the hidden safety pin

such dresses. The ribbon gives the
color touch without which no dress is

Use of Food.
buy only enough for the household
needs. Farmers Bulletin 8OS, "How
to Select Foods. 1. What the Body
Needs" will help her determine these
needs. When strict economy is nee
essary she can learn from this bulletin
how to choose the less expensive from
that together provide adequate nour-
ishment. These less expensive foods
are often the common everyday prod
ucts which constitute the farmers
main crop; a steady demand for them
stabilizes the farmers market and
benefits everybody.
One way to avoid wasteful purchas-
Ing is to know how much of each
kind of food-butter, sugar, flour, cof-
fee, vegetables, cereals, ETC., is needed
each week. BY shopping only once or
twice a week and giving larger orders
a great deal of time is saved and one
may often take advantage of better
prices. Comparison of prices, values,
and quality in different stores is an
ucts in season are likely to be cheaper
than out Of season delieacies. Buying
by weight is now required for most
fruits and vegetables; when staples
come in cartons the customer should
estimate the cost Of the goods by the
pound.
After food enters the kitchen it is

any of it to be wasted. Burnt food,
spoiled food and a full garbage pail
are all evidences Of thriftless house
keeping. Unless one plans in advance
how to use up the extra material, it is
of course, better to buy closely and
avoid left-overs. When leftover food
Is on hand some use should be found
for it which does not involve much
additional material, much time for
preparation, or extra fuel for cooking.
If the size of each portion served is
adapted to the person for whom it is
intended, children can more easily be
taught the gospel Of the clean plate"
1t is no longer considered mark of
good manners to leave a little bit Of
uneaten food on the plate.
Any way of cooking which retains
in the food the largest proportion of
nutritive substances is a good method
Meats cooked en- casserole, In their
own gravy or in fireless cooker ac-
complish this aim. If white and sweet
potatoes are boiled in their skins they
can be easily peeled after cooking and
not so much Of the valuable mineral
matters cook out into the water.
Spinach, greens, asparagus, squash,
cooked cucumbers and other succulent
vegetables are better steamed than
boiled. The water in which suitably
seasoned vegetables have been cooked
can frequently be utilized for soups.
Water drained from potatoes or rice
chickens soup or gravy or is good in
bread-making.

To remove dust from rattan furni-

Leftover fruits can be used up in
