Arranging Overdrapery and Slip
ny ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

One of the most difficult details In
the making Of net or lace, chiffon or
wolfe dresses once upon a time was
TO effect a perfect agreement between
the net or lace Of the skirt and the
drop skirt beneath. This was not
easy. frock might start out with
this perfect agreement. only to hang
askew after a wearing or so, often
for no reason than a change IN
weather or climate. Chiffon and
wolfe have way of getting limp
when the barometer rises, and with
limpness comes stretching.
Now. nobody-that is, nobody that
hnows-cares whether the over
drapery Of the frock meets or escapes
hy inches and inches the line of the
slip. In fact, IL the slip ends well
:shove the ankles and the overdraperY
hangs to the instep, so much the bet
ier And this was line that we once
would have thought abominable.
The same thing holds good of the
separate skirt that is made of trans
pat or translucent fabric. Plated
skirts of white crepe have been worn
at the southern resorts ever since
the first of the year. They have had
n share in creating the demand for
lace-trimnled and embroidered petit
coats. These petticoats have been
worn considerably shorter than the
sheer plated frock over them. Some
times the petticoatS have not been
considered necessary a all.
French women always have de-
Cidcd preference for rather SubStdn-
lial Innings for their frocks. They
like dark foundation for the over
,Grapery of light crepe or net. The
,ff"ct is more definite. The line is
more distinct and the pattern of the
-aco or embroidery shows to far bet
Ter advantage.
The black satin lining OF the beige

That the frock must at least have been
inspired by a French design. The

Ham Baked I'm Cider.

It's quite a trick, this baking ham
in cider. You've got to plan for 1t
at least twenty-seven hours before
weight OF the ham you choose. l
always jot the weight down on the
pantry door That draws protests
from my wife, but It's better than
worrying over whether the scales
said six pound or eight ard one-sixth
pounds.
After you've got your ham and
weighed 1t. wash it in cold water
Then cover II with more cold water
and forget it for twenty-four hours.
Take the ham from the water and
put it into kettle and cover 1t with
cider Let it come to a boil and then
simmer gently, allowing fifteen min
uteS OF simmering for every pound
OF weight. That's when it's handy to
remember how much 1t weighed. II
your memory of this is correct, the
ham will be nice and tender when
the clocks tells you to turn off the
heat
When the ham is tender. remove i,
from the kettle and take off all the
rind. Then sprinkle II gently with
brown sugar and dot raisins and
stick in whole cloves, one-half inch
apart.
Put Il into a baking dish gently
so as not to displace all the raisins
and bake it in moderate oven until
1T is nicely brown, basting it with
the cider from time to time
forgot to say that If your ham
weighs more than ten pounds the en-
tire process will take more than
twenty-seven hours-dfteen minutes
more for every additional pound.
can't explain just why this is SO, but
you can figure il out or prove il 70,

matician, cooking is really as easy

Johnny Chuck.
For once in his life Johnny Chuck
was thoroughly glad to see Farmer
Browns Boy approaching. Yes. sir,
he was glad. He hadn't the least bit
Of fear. You see, Farmer Browns
Boy had led Bowser the Hound away
from the foot of that tree in which
Johnny had been a prisoner. and so
Johnny knew that Farmer Browns
Boy was a friend he could count on.
The only thing that worried Johnny
was the thought that perhaps Farmer
Browns Boy might not come away
over to that tree again.
So Johnny watched anxiously as
Farmer Browns Boy came down the
Long Lane. His heart leaped with
JOY as Farmer Browns Boy turned
and headed straight toward him.
Johnny looked down at Reddy Fox
curled up in the bushes and almost
grinned as he thought Of the surprise
that was awaiting Reddy Fox. You
see, from where he was Reddy
couldn't see Farmer Browns Boy.
Now. Farmer Browns Boy hadn't
intended to go over to that tree. He
had planned to go somewhere else.
But when he reached the end of the
Long Lane he looked over to that

HOLIDAY FOR RURAL CARRIERS.

The postmaster General has APP
proved an amendment of the Postal
Laws and Regulations, as the result OF
which rural carriers will be granted
Christmas Day as holiday.
He did this in following out his gen
erous policy of consideration for the
welfare and happiness of the postal
employees. We confidently expect
that carriers will put forth the fullest
effort to effect the delivery of every
piece of mail, parcels included, reach
ing their offices before Christmas So
that there may be no disappointment
and no just ground for complaint on
the part of the patrons. Failure on
the part of any individual carrier to
do this will subject him to severe
criticism and be a cause of deep re-
greet to the department
Postmasters and carriers are requ-
ested to notify patrons of rural de-
livery as generally as possible, with
out mourning expense to the depart
ment, that there will be no delivery
on rural routes on Christmas Day so
that they may arrange for the early
mailing of Christmas packages or
other matter.
