something similar in character. SO
Paris announces.
In the sports dresses are the easy,
straight slip-ons, the sort of frock that
appears to have no shape or fit, but
the success of which depends, never
theless, upon the proper cut, length,
hang and shoulder fastening. To the
degree of attention given to the fit Of
this type of gown is due the style, or
the lack of style, of the woman who
wears 1t.
1t is SHOWN in the softer materials
and in grades Of twill, flannel and
crepe-knit. Some conspicuous exam
pies of the new felt applique, stitching
and embroidery are imported by the
leading houses, but the better styles
tend to plainness.
Coats, resembling the once popular
blazer, of gay striped or bright-colored
fannels, are mong the new things.
They are almost invariably cut
straight and boxy, high at the neck
and with long coat sleeves.

Flower Garnitures Are
Among Late Novelties

Fetching things in flower garnitures
are among the latest novelties re-
ceived from Paris. The popularity Of
artificial flowers for trimming evening
gowns, for the hair and for boutoD
nieres has enhanced the Importance of
this decorative feature, and many
beautiful. and costly things are shown.
For a single motif on an afternoon
or evening gown or wrap there is
large flower in the form of a conven-
tionalized wild rose, made of black
velvet with center of silver dust and
a line of silver outlining the petals. 1t
is a stunning. thigh light" to form the
only trimming.
Countless lovely blossoms-single
and in spray-are fashioned of silk
ribbon and metal. Few of the sheer
gowns, especially for evening wear,
are seen without this floral touch
Nothing could be more enhancing
than frock of crisp tulle with skirt
of many layers, trimmed with trailing
sprays of these flowers. The effect is
quite fairylike.

Late Fashion Notes of
Interest to All Women

The skirt with bodice top has re-
turned to style.
Flesh satin makes up an attractive
pair of the newest evening slippers
to be worn with nude hose.
The Russian tunic effect is becoming
more and more frequent. 1t is seen
not only in chic frocks, with swirl
of fur a. the hem, but also in long,
somewhat loose coats, especially for
evening wear.
Included in the list of new laces IS
a lovely one in black and cream, the
foundation being cream and the pat
ern black. Lace Overdresses made OF
this material are worn over slips or
peach or cornflower satin.
Soulie has created a sensational
spring fashion by a combination of
straw and fur. One hat by this Paris
designer, with a crown anti brim of
soft light straw and straw bow
standing up behind, has the wide brim
bordered with a thick band Of black
fox.
The Russian coronet effect, so be-
coming to most women, as an orna-
ment for the evening couture, is not
now built Of jewels. So fond have
women become of satin flowers that
these coronets are made from buds
and blossoms of satin velvet, and
sprinkled with briliants.

White and Colors
in Dainty FrocIxs
Used in Combination for
Gowns, Sweaters, Goats,
Hats and Accessories.

White is apparently a foundation
for the newest styles, notes a fashion
correspondent in the New York Times,
for 1t is not only worked out in every
type of dress-gowns, sports suits,
sweaters, coats, hats and accessories
but it is also combined with colors
in the most effective, often the most
striking manner
Nothing more charming, more swag-
ger, more flattering and more general
~ satisfactory is seen than the all
white fannels, crepes, silks and knit
ted frocks and suits. But there are
exceedingly smart combinations and
contrasts, of which black-and-white
S the most popular. White wolfe or
crepe gowns are covered with a cut
oct design in black cloth or felt,
stitched on fiat In others the colors
are reversed, and stunning things in
coats, sweaters, even stockings, shoes
and gloves, are shown in sharp black
and white, or white on black.
This is as good for the misses as
for the more mature styles, but bright,
lovely combinations are used in the
younger models; jade and white, or
ange and white. and much scarlet with
white. That green jade, in many
tones, is all the rage is the last word
from Paris, and is already indicated
in the leading houses of New York.
A beautiful, very young model in
jade green chiffon is embeIlished from
the decollete neck to the hem with a
pattern in darker green leaves of silk
appliqued and joined with traceries of
fine crystal beads, the edge of the skirt
trimmed with narrow band of white
fur. With this artistic gown of sylph-
like lines is a cape of Jade green chif-
fon, gathered into band at the neck,
which is concealed by a full ruff of

the bottom with two tucks and wide
hem.

model is well received, but the one

dust instead of scattering it. A dust
less mop can be used anywhere.
If a broom must be used, the dust
may be laid to some extent by scat
tering wet shredded newspaper or tea
leaves or any Of the harmless sweep
ing compounds offered for sale. The
strokes should be even and firm and
taken in such a way that the broom
or brush is kept on the floor most of
the time and not firted through the
air, says the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
The dust cloth should be held in a
fairly compact mass, so that the sur
face to be cleaned is wiped or pol
ished and at the same time the dust
is held by the cloth. Small pictures
and bric-a-brac should be busted and
removed from the room or placed in a
pile and covered. Draperies and por-
there's should be taken down or pinned
up. Furniture, mirrors and large pic
lures should be busted and covered
with cloths. Both cleaning and dust
ing should be done from the top down.

long ends of ribbon in a slightly deeper
shade of green are attached over the
hip at one side. Nothing could be
more daringly severe, nor appeal more
definitely to one of slender, youthful
figure.
In simpler gowns, the whole effect
is in the fabric, fine crepe or chiffon,
and in the grace with which the
drapery is arranged. Lace in finish

Eggs in water glass properly pre-
served will keep in good condition
from six to ten months and can be
used satisfactorily for all purposes in
cooking and for the table. They will
prove an economy for use in cakes,
buildings and other cookery, and a
convenience when the hens are not
laying enough for ordinary d1i.y
needs, or when 1t is impossible to send
to the store for the usual order, or

Eggs fresh from the nest, gathered
as soon as possible after being laid,

VEGETABLES
IN DIFFERENT WAYS
Family Soon Tires of Them

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture.)
If canned vegetables are always
served in exactly the same way, the
family soon tires of them whether put
up at home or bought. There are
many ways of dressing these prod
ucts up, however, to make them more
tempting.
No matter how canned vegetables
are served, they should be boiled thor
oughly after they are poured from the
can and before they are tasted, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture counsels the housekeeper. A lit
tie onion juice or celery salt or a bit
Of green pepper or celery tops or
small piece of bay leaf, improves the
flavor of many canned vegetables.
Here are some suggestions:
Canned tomatoes, spinach, aspara-
gus, okra, eggplant or corn can be
scalloped by spreading in layers in
a baking dish, with bread crumbs in
between. Each layer is sprinkled with
butter, salt, pepper, or paprika, sea-
soned with the liquor from the can
and any other preferred favoring
Bread crumbs usually form the top
layer, so that when the dish is baked,
1t is attractively Drowned.
Canned sweet potatoes may be
mashed and baked, or made into sweet
potato pie, or baked in layers with
slices Of apples between.

with each other or with the so-called
winter vegetables. Tomatoes are good
with peppers, or with okra and onion,
with corn, with string beans, or both
or with celery. These may be served
as vegetable dishes or combined in
soups. Turnips and celery fn9combina-
ton are excellent, especially in white
sauce. Diced carrots with canned
peas or string beans cut in small
pieces, are usually liked. Beets and
turnips may be followed out to make
cups in which peas or small lima beans
are served.
A ham bone or piece of bacon put
in for flavor, with little vinegar, is
often liked with canned string beans
or canned spinach. Spinach souffie
and spinach loaf are two dishes that
make plain canned spinach seem diff
ferent. When serving canned baked
beans, they may be reheated to advan-
tage with a little extra seasoning con-
sisting of tablespoonful Of molasses,
a pinch Of mustard, and bit of salt
pork or bacon.

cross-over button effect at the hip
line and the loose-fowing sleeve.
Many of the jacquettes trend to the
surplice mode. This is a feature very
well liked, since it gives opportunity
for display of lace and lingerie jabot,
a point of style distinction empha-
sized this season.
Another point of interest in ad-
vance jacquette modes is that they are
more or less designed to preserve the
thin straight silhouette. It adds also
to the prestige of the knitted jacquette
in that 1t is developed not only in fine
wooden yarns for practical wear. but
luxury is expressed in exquisite over
blouses knitted of pure silk, fiber silk
