Invariably they are built along the
simplest lines, presenting all Of the
new details, but without exaggeration
One delightful ensemble suit is
made of natural kasha in shade that
is almost cafe-au-lait. The straight,
simple frock is short, being IA inches
from the floor and narrow. Above the
hips a front panel forming waist
coat of flame-colored crepe is added.
The seven-eighths length coat of the
wooden stuff is lined with the crepe,
matching the waist coat, and pip
ing of this and black outlines the long
narrow collar lapel, the cuff bands
and a strap that goes about the hips,
crossing in front.
A soft hat of the kasha cloth, the
crown square and rather high and the
small brim slightly rolling, has a
simple band Of red for it's trimming,

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Though corn meal is now used in
other parts Of the world, pop corn
seems still to be peculiarly Amer
lean product. White, fluffy kernels Of
popped corn have been found among
prehistoric Indian remains in South
America and also specially shaped
earthenware implements with de-
preston in the center and long ham
die, evidently the equivalent Of our
modern corn peppers. In olden days
in this country the grains were some
times thrown on the hot Goals, where
they burst and bounded back on the
floor for the children to scramble
after
Though pop corn is most often eaten
between meals as a sort Of food acces-
sorry, it has a food value similar to
that of the same weight Of corn pre-
pared in other ways. 1t makes an ex-
cellent breakfast cereal served with
milk or cream and Is SO used in many
families. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture suggests that a
good supper for Sunday at home is
corn popped over the open fire and
served hot with melted butter or with
milk and a little salt, and perhaps
with apples or other fruit as finish.

These knitted suspender-skirtlike
dresses admit of many combinations.
For instance, suppose the frock be
knitted of fine camePs hair. On cool
day why not wear it over T-neck
jumper knitted of rayon which is so
silky, with sleeves long and close-flt-
ting? A beige-colored knitted blouse
would be striking with russell or am

ironed can really be considerably re-
duced in this way, the United States
Department of Agriculture points out.
In hanging out and drying articles that
are to be used without ironing, special
care must be taken to pull them into
shape. Careful folding and smooth
ing when they are put away will also
make them look better, especially If
they are kept in piles in the drawer or
on the shelf.
Turkish towels of medium weight,
not too large or too heavy, can replace
ordinary hand towels which need
pressing. Certainly tea-towels may be

can also be used without ironing.
Small plate doilies are easier to laun-
der than large tablecloths, and
crocheted doilies, or those made Of the
oilcloth that comes for the purpose, do
not need any ironing.
Not only knitted underwear, but also
undergarments and night clothes Of
crepe, seersucker, or even muslin, can
be carefully smoothed and pulled into
shape before they are dry and worn
without ironing II 1t is question OF
saving the mothers valuable time and
strength. 1t is waste of time and
strength to iron socks and stockings,
diapers, or even children's handker-
chiefs.
The present-day fad for sweaters,
worn instead Of blouses, especially by
school and college girls, saves consid-
cradle laundry work. The sweaters
are not ironed at all, and like other
garments made Of wool, usually catch
dirt less quickly than cotton or linen.
In cold weather neat wool jersey fit
ting at the neck and wrist, or regu-
lar sweater, often solves the mothers
problem of keeping careless boy tidy
and clean without a great burden of
laundering. Knitted or crocheted gar
ments should be measured before they

ture mode are amusingly carried out In
ensemble costumes for children and
this adds a new note of interest to
the styling of little daughters spring
and summer wardrobe.
The adult ensemble modes are
copied even to row of fur on the bot
tom of the bengaline coat which tops
a dress of print or faillc, banded and
bordered to match the wrap.
Referring again to the model in the
picture, the fact that 1t is such a lovely
shade of blue calls to mind that pastel
colored flannels make up charmingly
for children and so do the new striped
ones. : Buttons used in continuous rows
serve as an appropriate trimming.

Sports buds Should Be
Practical in Texture

Sports clothes can be very pretty
but they must be practical in texture.
Homespun, whipcord, rough serge, and
all the waterproof materials are use
full for the purpose. Wooden sports
muff1ers are edged OF contrasting color
and material; scarlet gallon, musquash,
bright green wood beads, tapestry en-
broidery, and so on, in three-inch
bands.
Cosy little snow-caps are made of
brushed wool, and haze an attached
scarf which twists round the neck.
Russian cross-stitch embroidery in
it's primitive crude colors is very eff
fective for pull-over caps.

Embellish Old Gowns

Many an old black satin gown is be-
ing given new lease of life by appli-
cation of new collars, cuffs and sleeves.
White pique is being extensively used
for collars and cuffs, as is real lace,
filet or point de venise. Full peasant
sleeves of bright-colored chiffon set
into an old frock make it almost I'M,
recognizable.

instances of white or the faint pastel
shades of pink, blue, mauve and faint
yellow.
A successful model, which already
shows signs of having decided vogue,
is made of white faille in particu-
larry fine weave. OF special interest
are the square pockets, to which the
attached fiat panels of the material
are caught up under the skirt. In the
back a similar panel reaches from
neck to hem, giving the effect of a
wide box plat. The jabot is Of white
georgette bound with faille.
This frock is also shown in pastel
colors and in white crepe de chine,
with a jabot of printed chiffon.

Brown Continues Prominent

Brown in all it's shades is exceed
ingly smart, especially the tones of
golden brown and blond. Capes and
coats of satin and chiffon in these
colors are trimmed with feathers in
the same shade. One coat has Dor

trich, while wide bands Of marabou
