simple. comfortable, elegant and,
above all, beautiful, and, by way of
proof, the costume pictured above, de-
signed for midsummer wear, is offered
as exhibit AS
Nothing more unusual than black,
crepe-back satin and white crepe de
chine, which can be purchased any
where, are required for this fine bit
of artistry in dressmaking and one of
the most gratifying things about pres
ent-day modes and materials is that
anyone who chooses may have them.
1t takes very little fabric to make a
frock and styles are not difficult for
the home dressmaker TO copy. The
model pictured is straightline pat
tern varied hy plated godets set in at
each side at the hipline of the skirt
portion. This gives the dress the
fashionable flare besides added grace
of line and freedom in walking. The
undersleeves and shirt-boSom front Of
the. crepe de chine are prettily
adorned with small, oak-leaf design,
cut from the black satin and outlined
with narrow black braid. The neck
finish is unique and beautiful. Long
ties made of satin are knotted at the

value of at least 600 calories. 1t is
one thing to try to make child Of
twelve with a food requirement Of
$500 calories take that amount every
day, and another to get child of two,
with food requirement of about
1000 calories to do so.
Another thing that this slogan does
not do Is to list the other foods needed
by a child. Think of trying to get
the following into short, pithy state
ment: "a healthy child Of two should
have daily at least pint of milk and
an egg; one serving of vegetables
other than potatoes; fresh fruit or
cooked tomatoes at one meal; fruit
which may be dried or fresh at an
other meal; whole-grain breakfast
food or a slice of graham bread (the
remaining cereal may be refined) or
a baked potato once a day; and a
little butter and cream at every meal"
And yet, this is far safer prescrip-
ton than "a quart Of milk day." and
there is nothing In 1t to prevent the
child from getting the quart of milk if
he wants 1t. There are calories to
spare even when all these foods are
given to the child Of two, and there
are many to spare in the case of a
child of six.
These foods which make provision
for all three vitamins, and all needed
minerals and for roughage in a form
suitable for children, can all be in
creased as the child grows.

hung on two hooks just above the mar
BILE slab. Measuring spoons, mixing
spoons, egg-beater, egg whisk, and
flour sitter were also hung up within
reach. Two narrow shelves provided
place for keeping the baking pow
der, soda, salt, fat, oil, and other in
gradients of pastry, biscuits or cookies.
Slab on Kitchen Cabinet.
A third housewife set her marble
slab right on her kitchen cabinet, as
all her supplies were kept inside of it.
The cabinet itself was a reclaimed
desk brought down from the attic and
painted white. The marble pastry
board in the kitchen shown in the pic
ture is used on the counter to the left
of the homemade sink. 1t is easy to
clean it here without lifting it-for
marble bureau tops are heavy-and it
does not interfere with the usual work
that is done at the sink. The rolling
pin is kept nearby, and supplies are
in the kitchen cabinet on the right.
This cabinet was an old sideboard, long
out of use-the kind with an upper
and a lower cupboard and one large
drawer. The upper cupboard was fit
ted with compartments for storing gro
ceries, and the whole piece proved
unexpectedly valuable in the kitchen.

New Summer Bag Is Made
of Fancy Cotton Goods

Such emphasis has lately been given
to accessories of dress that they have
come to be regarded almost as necessi-
ties. At least they are necessary COM
forts in the fashionable toilet. Once
upon a time lady's purse was hidden
away somewhere in her dress, or car
ried in a reticule or bag in the most
matter-of-fact manner. These days
both bag and purse are Important
often a conspicuous feature-and no
one article of dress Is presented in as
many novel ways. ingenuity seems al
most to have been exhausted in the
effort to design new styles of bags,
both the larger kind that serve for
shopping and general utility and the
smaller ones carried on dress occa-
sions.
Among the latest purse-bags from
Paris are two styles, one the opposite
of the other. The everyday sort Is

There's nothing like a marble slab
to make pastry on. If you have an
old washstand or bureau up in the
attic with good polished marble top
white or notified, or any color-bring
the top down into the kitchen and ex-
perience the satisfaction of having a
perfect pastry board. Chilling is es-
sential for crisp, flaky pastry, and a
marble slab is always cold.
Marble Tops Made, Useful.
In almost every county in Virginia
where kitchen Improvement contests
have been conducted under the direc-
ton of the home demonstration agents,
who are comparatively employed by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture and the Virginia Polytechnic in
stitute, housewives have made clever
use Of their old marble bureau tops
One woman put hers on strong shelf
and built a supply cupboard immediate
ly over it, where she keeps her -four

There is room for a high stool under
meath the shelf, so she can sit at her
work. Another made similar shelf,

the very newest being an out and out
summer bag of fancy cotton goods,
flowery cretonnes and India prints.
These have plain silver frame and
handle and are extremely smart.
One ornate and costly evening bag is
fair example Of the latest idea for
elaborate dress, afternoon and eve
ming. 1t is Of medium size, a solid lat
tice pattern of indestructible pearls
strung on silver chains. This jeweled
affair is drawn at the top with cord
through tiny silver rings. Among
purse bags, some of the most extrav-
agant are set with genuine stones, and
they are as elaborate and as valuable
as ones bank account permits.

SIMPLE PLUMBING
SYSTEMS ON FARM
Many Solids Not Easily Sol
ubLe ThrOUn in Closets.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Good well-cared-for plumbing causes
little trouble or expense, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in a new farmers bulletin, No.
1925, Farm Plumbing" which tells
how simple plumbing systems can be
Installed on farms, and how plumbing
should be cared for.
Garbage, rags newspapers, matches
and many other solids not readily sol
uble in water are frequently thrown
into water closets and other plumbing
fixtures. This should never be done.
If the inconvenience and damage
caused by the stoppage Of pipes is
carefully explained to servants and
children, who are frequently the ones
responsible for clogging in this way,
they will understand why they must
take the trouble to dispose of trash
elsewhere. Grease and fats should not
be wasted through sink outlets. Solid
substances clog traps and pipes
greases adhere to the bore and grad
ually close it. Even the washstand
trap may gather soap grease, hair and
lint sufficient to stop it completely.
After using a plumbing fixture, espe-
cially a kitchen sink, 1t is we'll to
flush the trap and waste with clean
hot water. If trap and the pipe lead
ing from it have become solidly packed
with grease the trap should be dis
connected at the slip and union joints
and the grease should be dug out or
be forced out with stick. If a trap Is
not fully closed the greasy matter may
be burned out with strong caustic
solvent, of which numerous brands are
on the market. The best costs respec-
lively so cents in one-pound and 80
cents in two-pound cans, and the max
er's directions for safely using are
printed on the container. Caustic
potash (lye) and caustic soda are
widely used Caustic soda is less eff
fective than caustic potash because it
nnites with grease to form hard soap,
whereas potash forms soft soap. Caus-
tic soda costs less-about II cents per
pound in ten-pound pails-and consti-
tutes most of the ordinary lyes.
The best use of drain-pipe solvents
as an occasional aid in keeping
traps and pipes free and clean. Sew
eral time year, or whenever the
waste water begins to run slowly, the
pipe should be we'll flushed with boil
ing hot water to soften the grease.
This should be followed with a strong
solution Of the chemical, and half
hour later the pipe should be flushed
thoroughly with clear boiling water.
IN this way little or no injury is done
to the pipes and much Of the grease
will have been destroyed or washed
away. If not successful at first, the
process should be repeated. A guam
tity Of the chemical should be dis
solved In two quarts of cold water in
a large pail, the solution being well
stirred and poured through a funnel
directly into the pipe. The face, hands,
clothing, or an open flame Tin con-
fined space should not come in con-
tact with the chemical or its fumes.
Frozen water pipes are a prolific
source Of trouble with plumbing
Chemicals Of the character described
generate much heat, making them
useful to thaw frozen pipes.

adorned with drawn work. These
frocks have, usually, short yokes and

to the yokes, are very short and have
narrow hens; 1t is just above these
hens and on the yOkes, that the drawn
work appears, in different designs. A

of adornment. Pastel colored v0iles

Paris Two Types
of Evening Gowns
One for Informal Wear;
Another for More Ceremo-
NOUS Occasions.

Paris, with sartorial discrimination,
makes distinction between the types
OF evening frOcks worn upon informal
occasions and at those of a more cere-
monlous character.
For the former, authorities of fash.
ion decree the fiImy affair made OF
whisps of chiffon in exquisite pastel
colors, untrimmed except for flower
on shoulder or waistline. They possess
an airy grace almost impossible to put
into words. These are the frocks
which are seen at the country clubs
this summer and which possess a
youthful piquancy that is intensely
intriguing.

Hat Ornaments Come in
All Sorts and Sizes

The most Insignificant trifles among
the fads are being shown in entertain
ing forms. Hat ornaments, for ex-
ample, are in all shapes, including the
Ark's list of passengers. There are
symbolic features, birds of streaming
plumage, boats. butterflies, beetles en-
ameled or set with rhinestones. For
sports, hats are shown with snappy
little pins in the form Of whips, spurs,
golf sticks, polo mallets, and figures
Of horses and dogs.
Since charms and bangles became
popular jewelers. and the dealers in i'm
ported specialties have found a brisk
demand for their wares. All of these
intriguing baubles are set before ones
eyes in glittering display-trays and
cases full, like toys for children. They
are of every shape, tiny elephants and
other jungle beasts. miniature ships.

Tragic Story of Women's
Hand-Painted Negligees

Back of the Introduction of the
gorgeous hand-painted negligees and
pajamas which have been the sensa-
ton of the season lies an interesting
and a tragic story, for in many in
stances, almost all in fact, they are
the work of members of the Russian
nobility who have been reduced al
most to penury and are using their
marvellous color sense and their skill
in design for the purpose of earning a
livelihood. This new fashion first ap.
peared in Paris. where any number of
these high-born refugees have been
established in studios. Recently Some
of them have come to America.

Latest Fashions for
Women Tennis PLAYERS

The modern woman tennis player
needs something besides strokes and
speed. She needs a multiplicity of
brightly colored pull-over sweaters
with bandeaux to match. Having seen
the intricate and. colorful designs of
the sweaters one wonders how ban
deaux ever have been found to
match. In England the vogue for
wide-bottomed trousers has spread to
the woman players and they are dash
ing about the courts in tubular panta-
looms so wide as to resemble a divided
skirt when the wearer Is al rest.
