Vogue of Lace

The all-lace frock and the dress that
is trimmed with lace are to play an
important part this season. An attrac-
tive model that has much to commend
it is made of delicate gray chiffon and
lace dyed the exact shade. The dress
is sleeveless and the lace outlines the
long armholes from neck to waist.
There are two wide bands of the lace
upon the skirt.

The Importance of the new blouses
lies in the fact that they are the de-
termining influences of the tailored
costume. They play dual role, exag-

woman who prefers the plain couture

eating the severity of the new styles
for her who refuses to succumb to the
lure of the mode garcon.

MAKING CORN BREAD
WITH USE OF MILK
TlOo Ways of Mixing Out
lined BY Federal Experts.

(Prepared lily the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Good corn bread may be made with
either sweet or sour milk. The United
States Department Of Agriculture has
found that in the sour-milk breads
the method of mixing influences the
texture. The first method described
in this recipe, though longer than the
second, yields bread of better texture.
Sour-MiIk Corn Bread.
cupfuls corn III teaspoonfuls
meal salt
cupfuls sour eggs
milk / teaspoonful soda
q spoonfuls tables poonful
butter cold water
tablespoonful
sugar white or
brown
There are two ways Of mixing this
bread, which includes milk and eggs.
BY the first method the meal, milk,
salt, butter and sugar are cooked in a
double boiler for ten minutes. When
the mixture is cool the eggs are
added, well beaten, and the soda dis
solved in the water.
By the other method all the dry in
gradients, including the soda, are
mixed together, and then the sour
milk, the well-beaten eggs and the but
ter are added. If the second method
is followed the cold water is not need
ed. The bread should be baked in
a shallow iron or granite pan for 30
minutes.
Buttermilk may be substituted for
the sour milk, in which case the butter
should be increased slightly; or sour
cream may be used and the butter
omitted. This serves six persons.
Sweet Milk Corn Bread.
cupfuls yellow " cupful sugar
cornmeal teaspoonful salt
cupful wheat eggs
flour 3 teaspoonfuls
cupfuls milk baking powder
Sift together the cornmeal, flour,
sugar, salt and baking powder. Add
the well-beaten eggs and the milk,
and bake for one-half hour in mod
crate oven.
In this case, as in the recipe for
sour milk corn bread, the cornmeal
can be cooked for short time with
the milk If q softer bread is desired.

When we cultivate the power Of

The power to concentrate is the

cape is utilized.
Blouses are not as popular in these

be made most effeminate or as tailored

official announcement by the Swedish
department of state accounts.
The utilities referred to are the
post office, the telegraphs, the rail-
ways and the water power stations.
Each of these, like the crown lands,
is administered by government
board. and is operated as business
concern. The aggregate income in
1928 was about s10S,590, 600. while the
expenditure was about sS4,040,0oo.
The best return was made by the post
office, which earned 47 per cent on
the investment, while the crown
lands earned only 20 per cent. The
teiegraphs earned 9.4 per cent, the
railways 3.4 per cent and the water
works 81 on the respective invest
ments
simultaneously with the publica-
ton of these reports it was an
nounced that the Swedish national
debt is now calculated to be about

ment assets are valued at about
