Overblouse: Established Fashion
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

cut in a single line was reinstated. It
has held women in thTall during the
succeeding years. When dressmakers
tried to reinstate the use OF separate
garments, cleverely adjusted, they got
no response. Women were carefree
and comfortable because they. could
pitch frock over the head and tie IL
with giTdle at the hips. 1t was
against this freedom that dress

Women now talk as though the one

economy in picking up odds and ends
of fabrics at the bargain counters

1t is certainly an economy. AS any
fabric serves for a separate skirt. al
most any fabric serves for blouse.

skirt Is shelved. The overblouse with

Crepe de chine continues to be a
strong fabric for all such blouses. 1t
is the first choice of women who do
not seek different clothes from those
commonly worn. Knitted fabrics are
strongly sponsored by exclusive dress
makers, so women seek for them also.
Oriental silks and foulards are chosen.

This same idea is used on the short

into fashion. The number of them
worn during the last two months at

The Formal Dinner
BY JULIA HOYT
(Mrs. Lydig-Hoyt)

INCE entertaining at meals is the
most popular as well as common
form of entertainment in Amer
lea, I shall begin by telling how
the formal dinner. perhaps the most I'M
portant and ceremonial OF all meals,
can be given successfully.
But successfully is the catch.
The secret of giving a successful din
ner, lies in experience in knowing how
things ought to be done, for without
this knowledge how can hostess di-
rect, correct and instruct her household?
Therefore, strongly advise the novice
hostess not to attempt this form Of en-
tertainment until she knows how it
ought to be given and until she learns
what to expect of her house and equip
ment as well as her servants.
From personal experience and obser-
walton have found what consider the
six essential ingredients for a success
ful dinner. They are:
1. Tastefully furnished drawing and
dining rooms, both large enough to ac-
commodate comfortably the invited
number of guests.
.. Suitable menu, faultlessly pre-
pared.
3. Expert dining-room servants to
serve it.
4. Spotless linen, and all the other
table accessories perfectly polished and
sparkling.
5. A charming and hospitable host
and hostess.
g. Above all, guests who are con-
genial to one another.
Having all of these six, nothing re-
mains but to give the dinner, and see
what happens!
If | wanted to know whether a wom-
an was really up in social observ-
ances, think I should judge her. first
of ALL by the way she conducts a. formal
dinner; that is, whether she conducts 1t
herself, or leaves it to her servants. or
10 some one hired for the occasion. And
the same rule applies to other functions
and to the general management of her
household.
l regard housekeeping as serious
and interesting duty. And no matter
how busy am. never let the threads
SBp through my fingers. When give
big dinner I superintend the menu, the
placing of guests, the decorations and
the service. I exercise metfculouS care
over all the entertainments / give. My
intimate friends do the same, no mat

Peter Goes to Look for Old
Jed Thumper.
This truth will triumph soon or late.
There's no place in this world for hate.
Peter Rabbit.

Peter Rabbit is srch happy-go-
lucky fellow that he seldom gives
much thought to others and does
very little worrying. But he is very
good-hearted, is Peter Rabbit. When
he saw how worried little Mrs. Peter
was over her father, Old Jed Thumper,
the big, gray Rabbit who lives in the
Old Pasture, he began to worry, too.
At first he only worried about little
Mrs. Peter. She was losing her ap-
petite. and this wasn't the kind of
weather for any one to lose appetite.
He didn't want to- think OF Old
Jed Thumper.. but he couldn't help 1t.
Every time he looked at little Mrs.
Peter and saw how worried she was
he had to think of Old Jed Thumper.
And after a while he himself actually
began to worry about Old Jed
Thurnper He knew that with all
the trees and bushes and vines coated
with ice, and with the snow covered
with hard. icy crust, getting enough
to eat would be no easy matter for
even as big and stout a Rabbit as Old
Jed Thumper.
If he were down here in the dear
Old Briar Patch" thought Peter, ''he
would be all right. There is food
enough here for him without either
Mrs. Peter or / having to go hungry.
am sure that when this has been
eaten Farmer Browns Boy will bring
more. It Is dreadful-to go hungry at
any time, but 1t is always worse in
such weather as this. A fellow can't
keep warm and strong in this kind
of weather unless he has plenty of
food. / believe I'll run up TO the
Old Pasture and see how Old Jed
Thumper is getting along. If he is
all right I'll say nothing to him, but
If he really is in bad way I'll In
vite him down here to the dear Old
Briar Patch"
So without saying anything to little
Mrs. Peter, Peter started for the Old
Pasture. He got there safely and
then started to look for Old Jed
Thumper.
MY" thought Peter. things are
worse than / thought they were. This
ice covers everything. I'm AFRAID
Old Jed Thumper has been having a
hard time of ii. Here's a bush from
which hes has tried to gnaw some
bark. He didn't get much. / guess
Evening star., 1923-01-16

bramble tangles and just which ones
were the favorites of Old Jed
Thumper. He found many places
where Old jed Thumper had tried to
get a little bark. Bark was the only
food a Rabbit could get in the Old
Pasture with that icy crust covering
the snow. 1t was SO hard that no
Rabbit could possibly dig down
through ii.
Peter became more and more wor-
ried. He had thought to find Old
Jed Thumper long before this. He
had visited every one of Old Jed
Thumpers favorite places without
getting so much as a glimpse of him.
At last he remembered a bramb BILE
tangle in a far corner of the Old
Pasture. IL Old Jed Thumper wasn't
there Peter would have to give up
looking for him.
81 am afraid something has hap
pened to him. Yes. sir; I am afraid
something has happened to him. =
muttered Peter as he started for that
bramble tangle.

HIGHWAY PUDDLERS

County and City Commissioners Say
Practice of Running Water
into Roads Must Stop

'"Tell the people to stop running so
much water in the streets and road
ways" This is the request which
comes to the Courier -Reporter from
both County Commissioner Briggs
and City Street Commissioner Crutch-
field.
Irrigators, alike in the country and
city, the commissioners say, are be-
coming careless and the practice of
flooding the highways must cease.
If it doesn't stop in the city, says
Crutchfeld, steps will be taken to
take the irrigation water away from
those residents who maintain duck
ponds around their homes.
Commissioner Briggs says he is
making an effort to keep the road
sides clean and neat, and requests the
cooperation of the people. The coun-
ty will cut the weed and willow growth
up to the fence lines and he asks that
the farmers clean up their fence rows.

Saint Birgitta, the only marked per-
sonality of Roman Catholic Sweden
fbefore the Reformation) known to
the popes, is said to have been the
first apostle of "woman's rights" the
world has known. She pleaded for
amixed orders and mixed converts"
to insure the frank and practical CO.
operation of men and women, monks
and nuns, in aiding suffering human
ity. Her canonization, however, was
due more to the merit, of her pilgrim
ages TO Rome and Jerusalem and to
her services in bringing about the re-
turn of the popes from Avignon to
Rome than to her pious and charitable
endeavors, or to the example Of ardent
faith which endeared hee to her coun-
trywomen, and by which she was bet.
fer known In her own country.
