Chiffon Gown Is
Among Favorites
Fluffy Material Liked for
Evening Wear-Dainty
Enbroideries.

Just by way of encouraging home
Industry in the most practical and
intimate sense, the fashionable shops
of the larger type are displaying an
enormous assortment Of ready-to make
frockS, tunicS and blOuSes. Their va
riety is astonishing. Among the mod
els of gowns for evening wear, says a
fashion writer in the New York Times,
are the robes as they are labeled, of
net, marquisette or chiffon, on which
are embroidered or machine-etched all
over patterns done in beads of one sort
or another.
When this conveniently invented
frock was introduced several seasons
ago it presented intricacies and prob
lens for the seamstress, for it was put
together in an altogether casual man
ner, and was sometimes impossible to
work out in a modish scheme of cos
tunes. But the latest beaded robes
and their variants are real blessing,
and the demand for them keeps design
ers and manufacturers on their toes.
Given an artistically beaded frock
in pearls, crystals, jet, paillettes, steel
or silver, modiste who is possessed
Of any degree of originality is able to
shape = into a dinner gown, a ball
gown or an informal dance frock. It
is usually matter of the neck outline.

Try Cocoa Bread.

however, not to use an excess of
either; too much spice masks the fla
vor Of the cocoa, and too much salt
retards the action Of the yeast even
more than large quantity Of sugar.
The amount Of cocoa may be varied
to suit individual tastes The substi-
tuition of one-tenth Of the -four by
color and flavor.
All cocoa bread Is dark, the depth Of
color varying with the quantity of
cocoa used. Aside from the color,
there is very little difference in APP
pearance between the cocoa bread and
white bread; the shape of the loaves,
the volume, the texture of grain, and
the elasticity are about the same.
The recipe may be varied by using
honey or other sweetening agents in
place of ordinary sugar and by adding
fruits or nuts. The Incorporation Of
three or more ounces of raisins,
prunes, roasted peanuts, ETC., in the
dough of each pound loaf of cocoa
bread produces very palatable loaf.
The fruits or nuts may be added when
the dough is first worked down or
punched"
Cocoa rolls, buns, and rusks are
also acceptable. They may be made
slightly sweet by using more sugar
than Is used in the bread.
Cocoa bread is a speciality and can
not be expected to replace the differ
ent types Of bread now being made,
but it is an acceptable novelty to
serve occasionally.

That will be round and shallow, bat

occasions. A slash of the shears, low
ering the decolletage and emitting the
sleeves altogether, adapts this same
robe" into the most formal evening
dress. And since the straight or
"chemise" design is the most fashion
able in these gowns, the only differ
ence In results depends upon the
scheme of decoration.
The tunics In these beaded affairs
are all the rage. There are many
styles, varying from the simple out
lined models to those that are heavy
with metal, glass or jetted embroidery.
Besides the popular liking for the
beaded, half-made tunics, there is a
perfect craze at the moment for this
separate tunic in many forms. There

during picture value.

this costume? The GROWING point OF
1oy in regard to most knitted tunic
frocks is the fact that skirt and over
blouse can be worn separately. NOT
until one really comes into possession
of a two-piece costume such as the
picture shows does one sense the JOY
and satisfaction Of owning knitted
skirt which can be called upon to serve
with various separate waistcoats,
sweaters or blouses. The same may
be said of the knitted tunic posed over
satin slip or skirt 1t ever presents
handsome appearance. There are,
however, some skirts with thin SILK
tons rather than knitted to the waist
line. These, of course, can be worn
only with their complementary tunics.

All or Nothing

The fact that one may wear either
a wide belt with very obvious buckle
or no belt at all, as one pleases, surely
is proof that this is season of doing
what one likes. Suede, satin, metal
and the material of the dress are
usually utilized for the wide belts.
And the buckles are not the kind that
escape the naked eye, either.

between meals is a most pernicious
one Many mothers prefer that their
children do not learn the taste of
candy until they have reached the age
of eight to ten at least and then they
are satisfied with the sweets in the
form of dates, figs and fresh fruits.
AS doctors disagree upon whether 1t
is wisdom to give none or very little,
each mother is, or should be, the best
Judge of her child's needs.
The following are few good recipes
which may be used at home:
Fudge.-This may be maple, coffee,
chocolate and with or without nuts,
Just as one desires. Take two cupfuls
of sugar, one-third of a cupful of corn
sirup. one-half cupful of milk, one
tablespoonful Of butter; If chocolate
is used add a square or two of finely
cut chocolate. If coffee or maple fla,
voring, add that the last as the fudge
is taken from the heat. Boil to the
soft ball stage, set away to cool, then
stir and add nuts and favoring of
maple or coffee extracts. 1t coffee In
fusion is used, let that take the place
of the milk and add an extra table
spoonful of butter to make up for the
loss of fat. When the mixture seems
hard to stir, pour at once into we'll
creased tin and mark off into squares.
MoIasses ,Taffy.-Boil together one
quart of New Orleans molasses and
two tablespoonful Of sugar for five
minutes. Add two tablespoonfuls OF
butter and two of vinegar. Boil until
it cracks when a little is dropped into
water. Take FROM the fire, add q
fourth of teaspoonful of soda and
pour out to COOL When cool enough
to handle, flavor and pull.
Peanut Candy.-Take two pounds Of
brown sugar, twelve tablespoonfuls Of
butter: cook from the time Of the
first bubble, stirring constantly for
seven minutes, then remove from the
heat, add cupful Of fresh peanuts
that have been crushed by rolling with
the rolling pin on the molding board.
Pour into a creased pan and when cold
break up into pieces.
