To-day and To-morrow-"The Tenn
pie of Venus"-Never before, perhaps
in the history of the motion picture
industry, has a producing concern
gone to the expense and trouble to OBJ
tain electrical effects that marked pre-
parations for the filming of "The
Temple of Venus" The story, an
idyllic fantasy, is peopled with wood
sprites, wood nymphs and sea-urchins,
all of whom disport themselves blithe-
ly on the sandy beaches and in fern
trimmed dells.

Monday and Tuesday-'Why Worry
Motion picture stars frequently fall
into the rut, because they persistently
follow the same line of story, and the
same type of Characterization. They
never deviate because they feel that
the public demands them in a certain
type of picture. Harold Lloyd has
proven the fallacy of this belief. LlOyC
has gone ahead all the time because
he has never established himself iT
any certain type of picture, Because
his audiences never know what to eX-
pect from him, and don't worry be-
cause they know he always gives then
something that is worth while. "Why
| lWorry?" is as unlike any picture
Harold Lloyd has made before, as any
two things could be. 1t is a SOutl
American story, strong in farce bu
with an ever present vein of satir'
that should prove delightful to th'
American audience which does no
like its entertainment too serious.

Nothing Revolutionary

It is true that nothing very revO-
lutionary is predicted at Longchamp,
says a Paris fashion writer in the
New York Herald-Tribune. But the
mode is no longer subject to over
night uprisings-it has become grad

the more restless spirits Of fashion,
but always achieving a certain prog
ress. And the acute observer can de-
rive much satisfaction from the en-
bryonic tendencies which characterize
the Bots de Bologne styles. The sim

DISCUSSES and adding so many frilly
details that the term is rapidly be-
coming a misnomer. Straight lines
are still straight, but their even tenor

its proper sphere. Dignity, grace and

Women Demand Comfort
When They Buy Shoes

The woman of 1924 is more than
ever considering her physical comfort
In the choice of her wardrobe, and
particularly with regard to her shoes.
They must conform to the lines of the
foot. hug the instep and bend without
breaking. Accordingly, she chooses
shoes of kid leather, which, in addi-
ton to their fexibility and softness,
are also more porous, allowing the
foot to breathe. Thus. it is possible
for the wearer to dance all evening
without creating the burning, perspir-
ing condition of the feet which SO fire.
uuently results in painful corns and
permanent callouses.
So. from the shops to their rack in
the closet and thence to the ballroom
floor. kid shoes find their way with in
creasing popularity, and both the mod
ern woman and the modern man en-
Joy their combined advantages of style
and comfort.-Kansas City Star.

White and Black
Paris Favorite
Combination Is Regarded as
Most Effective for Ma
ture Women.

White and black, in contradistinc-
ton to black and white, has come
to the fore as the dominating color
combination at the Bots, according
to a Paris fashion correspondent in
the New York Herald-Tribune. 1t is
a particularly effective alliance for
the mature woman, who is gradually
reasserting her Importance in Paris
fashions.
Among the loveliest white and
black effects are the printed crepes.
chiffons and foulards, which enter
largely into midsummer dresses and
robes. White alpaca crepe marocain,
crepe de chine, crepe ROMAN and crepe
georgette, cleverly combined with
black satin or black taffeta form many
Of the new models. Frequently there
is an accompanying wrap in the form
Of long, straight, wrap-around coat
This is usually in the same black ma
terial as that used in the dress. Again
the white and black effect is obtained
by having the dress entirely in white
and the long coat in black.
The long, straight, tunic dress is
very much in vogue, and is particular
ly well adapted for the combination
of two materials and two colors. A
feature, peculiar to models of this type
is the slash or slit which appears in
some form, either in the tunic or the
narrow underskirt If tho tunic is ex-
tremely long, it is sometimes slashed
Mt one side to permit freedom in walk
ing. or it may show plated inserts

Wool, Gossamer Weight
Stockings, Latest Mode

Since silk stockings are taboo with
sports dress, resourceful designers have
brought out entirely new hosiery of
different styles in light wool and cot
ton It is a long time since any but
old-fashioned plain black or white
stockings have been seen. Aside from
silk there have been only lisle-so
harsh to some tender feet-or the
heavy-ribbed wooden articles that have
been affected by the athletic girl. who
grinned and bore them. The new sorts
are of wool, gossamer weight, in fan
oily woven patterns, ribbed or with
drop-stitch stripes; and of cotton, with
surface appearance like wool, and
in a variety of colors and styles.

costuming is for pure white, with a

for black -and-white with vivid color

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture.)
Okra, or "gumbo," commonly used
in the South, may be grown through
out the greater portion Of the United
States, except the extreme northern
part. The pods are excellent dried
and canned. and as these may be OBJ
tanned in every large market, its use
is not confined to any season.
The principal use of okra is in
soups and In various dishes in which
meats form an important part. The
young pods impart an excellent flavor,
besides giving a pleasant mucilaginous
consistency.
No copper, brass, or iron cooking
vessel should be employed in prepar-
ing okra, as the metal will be abb
sorbed and the pods discolored, or
even rendered poisonous, warns the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The cooking should be done In
enameled, porcelain, or earthenware
utensils.
Try these recipes:
Baked okra.
Place a thin layer of rice in a bak-
ing dish, add layer of sliced okra,
then a layer Of tomatoes; add salt,
pepper, little curry powder, and a
small lump of butter. Repeat with al
ternate layers Of rice. okra and to-
matoes until the dish is filed. Cover
and bake in the oven until the rice is
thoroughly cooked. Remove cover
and brown on top. Serve in the bak-
ing dish. The rice should be washed
in cold water before using, and the
okra pods and tomatoes washed and
sliced rather thinly.

and chop the onion and the parsley
or thyme. Wash and stem the okra
and slice into thin layers of one-half
inch each. Put the lard and butter
into the soup kettle, and when hot
add the chicken and the ham. Cover
closely and let it simmer for about
ten minutes. Then add the chopped
onions, parsley, and tomatoes, stirring
frequently to prevent scorching. Then
add the okra, and when well Drowned
add the juice of the tomatoes, which
imparts a superior flavor. The okra
is delicate and may scorch if not
stirred frequently. For this reason
many Creole cooks fry the okra pods
separately in a frying pan, seasoning
with the pepper, cayenne, and salt.
and then add them to the chicken.
