two arrived in the 600 class. Harley

yourself carefully, keeping your age
in mind, and determine whether or
not the fashion which you select will
be appropriate for it's need. Do rot
be charmed into selecting a flowing
dinner gown when you are in need of

the essentials of being well dressed.
Proportion is one of the first princi-
pies of dress design. Get the right
balance, especially at the waistline.
You can easily see that if a dress Is
shortwaisted it will increase height
in a most unbecoming. and awkward
way, and that a dress with a waist
line at the opposite extreme will make
you look top-heavy. AS for the dorni-
nant interest in a dress, or that which
attracts your attention, it is best to
keep to simple things and not con-
fuse them. Why any woman would APP

Fashionable Jewelry
Is of Brilliant Color

This is a glittering year for the
evening mode. Never were dresses
more gorgeous nor materials more
elaborate, and jewelry, responsive as
always to the mood Of costume,
matches this splendor by becoming
more colorful.
Nowhere is this tendency more clear
ly shown than in the wearing of jew
eled accessories, which are demanded
by the women of fashion to accent her
personality and complete the theme of
her costume. There are bandeaux,
combs, belts, buckles and fans studded
with jewels. Jewels also stud the
vanity case, the opera glass and the
purse affected at the opera and thea
ter.
The jeweled girdle is most effective
in adding note of distinction and
elegance to the straight-line evening
dress. A new girdle from Cartier,
which Conforms to the latest fashion
in gowns, is composed of narrow
band Of tissue pearls with carved
jade center.

Women Still Can Find
MANY Uses for Ammonia

ammonia was useful for keeping the
home a sweet, clean place, with little
trouble and expense.
Ammonia reliably prepared mas Won

dissolves grease like magic, and makes

generations, women have known the
power In ammonia to make clothes
whittier with less work.
Ammonia has definite fertilizing
value. A few drops occasionally put
in the water when watering plants will
make them grow. 1t is a thorough
remedy to rid the house of vermin and
other pests. 1t is water-softener, and

sleeves at all, or with sleeves that fit
tightly well down over the hand.
Either ard all intermediates seem to
be correct.
In days gone by any woman would
have blushed with shame at the
thought that she might have to wear
short gloves with short sleeves. She
would have felt as out of place as IL
she had worn a tailored suit to an
evening reception for the prince Of
Wales. But this year all that Is
changed.
If we feel that we want to wear
short gloves with short Sleeves-and
that Is just what most women seem
to want to dove cast all precedent
to the winds and wear short gloves.
And we find that we are not only in
style but that we are comfortable. for
the effect is neither so bizarre nor
so lacking in taste as one might ex-
lpect.
Colors range throughout the entire
spectrum All of the popular tones
are found in gloves, from the most
somber to the most vivid. Nowhere in
the wardrobe, perhaps is the contrast
between the masculine and the fem
mime note so strikingly illustrated as
when one compares some of the novel
ty gloves worn with spring frocks with,
the manlee gloves that are being worn
with tailored costumes.

evenings, and two pairs of slippers,
one for evening and one for afternoon
wear. A single hat should meet all the
emergencies of the short visit. The
afternoon dress and coat may be worn
en- route, leaving only two frocks to be
carried in the bag-the evening dr. IS
and the morning costume. In the
event that the coat Is not adapted to
formal evening wear a Spanish shawl,
light and occupying very little space,
will lend a distinctive touch to the
robe de soir.
The guiding principle for the woman
who expects to spend her summer
week-ends in divers places Is con-
servatism, and she should adhere re-
ligiously thereto for the very potent
reason that a wardrobe which may
strike just the proper note in one COM
munity may be severely frowned upon
In another One need not be super
sensitive to blush for the lady who
steps forth in all her grandeur only to
discover that her hostess and friends
have decreed informal dress for that
particular occasion. And, conversely,
the informally dressed visitor will
spend most of her time in seclusion if
she Journeys to a place where absolute
formality rigidly reigns. Indeed, even
If the summer visits are to be confined
to communities of known tendencies, 1t
Is wiser to be only follower in the
ranks of fashion.
Interesting Borderine Dress.
A borderline dress from Worth-a
frock which will serve either as an af-
ternoon dress or for the semi-formal
summer dance-is interesting. This
model shows an interesting variation of
the plat. which, incidentally, is one of
the outstanding notes in summer fash
ions. The dress is plated in sections
closely massed and alternating with
plain strips of equal width. The plait-
ed section is entirely separate from
the foundation, which is narrow, close
fitting and slightly revealed at the
sides. A round yoke, ending in long
scarf. is knotted at the right shoulder
and makes an attractive neck finish.
The waistline is unusually low and is
marked by belt made from petals of
suede leather. If you contemplate max
ing this dress at home, it is important
to remember that the plaits, although
fine, must be deeply laid In order that
they remain in place.
For morning wear, whether 1t be on
court or beach, or for the country
stroll. a Premet model is equally ap-
propriate. 1t is a tailored dress of
white crepe and limits the plated note
to box-plaited fullness which appears
at the front only. The idea of front
fullness and back fiatness Is en-
phasized throughout the summers nov
city productions, and the contrast In
this frock is most noticeable, the back
being so narrow and close hanging that
it is split IL inches to give sufficient
freedom.
The coat and the negligee are two
essentials without which no traveller
dares fare forth. A seven-e1ghths-
length coat exemplif1es an idea which
is new this season and is particularly
useful for the feminine week-ender.
An alluringly feminine three-quar-
ters-length negligee is of cream crepe

BACON IN SANDWICH
WILL HELP FLAVOR
Especially Appetizing When
Served at a Picnic.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
What to put in the sandwiches for
school or Office is constantly recur-
ring problem. Almost everybody likes
bacon-it Is usually on hand and it
may be prepared in a very few min
utes. Why not use it occasionally in
sandwiches? suggests the United States
Department of Agriculture. When
time is short, plain bacon sandwiches,
consisting of bread and two or three
slices of crisp-cooked bacon, can be
put together in a very few minutes.
Bacon sandwiches out-of-doors can be
made wherever ones picnic party hap
pens to be. The bacon can be toasted
over fire In the woods, each person
cooking his own pieces with the aid Of
a forked stick; and either because of
the jollity Of the occasion, or the good
flavor of the bacon, or the special taste
given by the wood fire, the sandwiches
will seem to be the best one has ever
eaten.
Sliced onion or pickle in a bacon
sandwich gives an acceptable flavor.
Various kinds of "club" sandwiches are
made, all Of them including bacon as
one of the chief ingredients A chicken
club sandwich is commonly made with
three pieces Of toasted bread as a
basis, and between these two filings
consisting Of lettuce bacon, tomato
and sliced chicken, with salad dress
ing. Veal or other cold meat makes
a palatable filing in club sandwich.
These sandwiches are bulky and are
intended to be served on plate and
eaten with a knife and fork. They
constitute the main dish for luncheon
or supper, but as they are ordinarily
made with toast they are not so suit
able for packing in lunch box to be
eaten several hours later.
Bacon and cottage cheese combine
well in sandwiches, either Of plain
bread or toast. Eggs and bacon can
be made as acceptable In sandwiches
as when served together for breakfast.
The egg may be scrambled and mixed
during cooking with the bacon cut up
in small pieces, or it may be hard
boiled, minced and mixed with the ba-
con when being put into the sand
wiches. Liver and bacon sandwiches
are made by chopping the liver to a
paste, seasoning it with salt, pepper
and small pieces Of bacon, and using
the mixture as sandwich filling. Ba-
con may be added to give zest TO any
cold meat used In sandwiches. If the
sandwich can be served while the ba-
con Is hot, the result is particularly
good. A little salad dressing is needed
on the meat. Lettuce, watercress, eel
ery or tomato may be added, making
result similar to club sandwich,
except that bread Is used instead OF
toast.

Essential FrockS

while the carefree male may choose
