DRESS FITTING MADE EASY
Little Parisiennes Get Doll as Gift
With Each Purchase.

PARIS, December 25 OP.-Little
Parisiennes no longer think that try
ing on a new dress is an ordeal. In
genious dressmakers have hit on the
idea of making doll to go with each
costume. All the smart shops now
show most alluring dolls with coat
and hat exactly like the one displayed
beside it for the small miss. Bright
red woolen is the favorite color for
these combinations.
1t is plan which appeals less To
the parents than to the daughters, for
while one can get dress without the
doll, one cannot get the doll without
the dress.

REAL ART IN MAKING
GOOD STEW OF MEAT
Dish Has Been Lifted From
Depths of Ill Repute.

The old boarding house wheeze about
stew and its uncertain ingredients has
gone by the boards. This lowly dish
has been lifted from the depths of i'll
repute and is now rubbing elbows with
the aristocratic steak and chop.
There really is art in stew making
according to Inez S. Wilson, home
economics director of the national live

is appearing before audiences Of house
wives in various cities, giving them
first-hand information on how to mas
ter this art, together with information
on meat selection, purchase, prepara-
ton, how to distinguish quality in
meats, and other subjects.
The occasion for this is a series Of

Black, Black and White.
A lot of black, and black and white,

The sudden craze for black, which is
the despair of importers and manufac-
turers,. has made demand for black
wraps for the ensembles and gowns of
black chiffon and tulle. These are de-

we are not happy here, for we are.

Its our nature to wander.
But alas and alack Many a poor
otter has wandered to his doom!'
Mrs. Otter shed a tear, wiped her
eyes with her best front paw, and Mr..
Otter continued:
"But when we are free we have
many a jolly time as children would
have" and Mrs. Otter began to smile
again.
"Often we give sliding parties just
as children would give sliding parties
for themselves and each other"
II have been on many a sliding
party myself" said Mrs. Otter.
"Ah yes, we would slide down a nice
muddy or slippery hill, usually into
some water below.
1--WE would give sliding party, as
q rule, where there was water at the
foot of hill"
1--WE would do the same," said Mr..
Otter.
swell do l remember the hunting
parties we would have for fish, frogs
and small creatures.
"Ah, how strong were my jaws in
those days-and I believe they are
still pretty strong"
So Mr. and Mrs. Otter thought OF
the days they had known when they
were wild, but they were quite tame
In the zoo now.
Our fur is very useful and also
very beautiful" said Mr.. Otter, after
a moment.
''Please don't speak of it," said Mrs.
Otter, "for we are safe here, and no

our safety"
II will not mention it again." said
Mr. Otter. II quite see your reason. "

"We will talk of our sliding parties"
So they talked of sliding parties and
smiled at many of their memories OF
funny, jolly times"

Successful Floor Waxing

Success in waxing floors lies in ap-
plying the wax in thin coats and rub
bing great deal. One pound will
coat about $50 square feet of floor.
After the preliminary coats of filler
or varnish are thoroughly dry the wax
should be rubbed on with a wooden
cloth, piece of old carpet or brush,
and allowed to harden overnight. The
next morning the floor should be pol
ished lengthwise of the grain with
a weighted brush or a heavy block
wrapped in woolen cloth, burlap or old
carpet. Then one or perhaps two

Wraps and Gowns
for Evening Wear
Designs Are Complicated by
Vogue of Popular Softly
Draped Frocks.

The period gown, the continued pop
ularity of crinolined and bouffant
skirts, and tulle dancing frocks Of
many frills, have complicated the
problem of designing an evening wrap,
notes a fashion authority in the New
York Times. This is very much to
the advantage of the woman who goes
In for the softly draped or fluffy sort
Of dress. The latest wraps for evening
and for elaborate afternoon are built
on lines the absolute reverse of last
seasons models that were designed to
slip over one-piece, straight-line
gown Of the most classic simplicity.
Coming away from that ideal through
all the evolutfons Of circulars, godets
and flares wraps have corresponded
in type, and the latest conceptions are
interesting in the extreme.
There is in them no suggestion of
earlier fashions which were compli-
Gated and overornate, but simplicity
that Is naive. graceful, stylish and
more picturesque than the wraps worn
with evening toilettes for winter.
Coats are still considered smart, many
coming from almost all of the In
portant houses at Paris and others
from American designers that are
occasion for sincere pride. All of these
coats are plain, without being in the
least stiff, and most are cut upon con-
ventional lines, with little variation
or novelty of detail
Cut Like Street Coat.
An evening coat done with success
by Lanvin is cut like a tailored street
coat with simple little cravat scarf
to tie at the neck and hang over one
shoulder The sleeves are long and
fairly tight and the only trimming on
the wrap is ten-inch band of sum-
mer ermine sewed about the bottom,
which Is given flare at each side by
an inverted plait the depth of the
knee. The material of this striking
garment Is metal tissue brOcaded in
bright oriental colors, red, blue, green.
in large domino pattern arranged in
horizontal stripes. The lining is of
Chinese blue crepe de chine.
In striking contrast to this coat Is
one of sand-colored crepe Elizabeth,
lined for warmth with kaSha cloth in
the same shade. There are no shoul-
der seams, the sleeves being in one
piece with the coat, rather wide and
straight at the hand, and all about
the edge is a band of red fox. A
Chinese coat model is made of chif-
fon brocade velvet, the background Of
soft beige, the embossed pattern of
conventional flowers in soft shades of
red. Antelope is used to trim the
collar and cuffs and the coat is lined
with a soft shade Of Chinese red.
Kit fox is exceedingly fashionable
for coat trimmings, It's tones of
ivory, beige and russet blending
charmingly with the new spring
shades A novelty in the form of the
much-discussed quilted coat is made
of crepe in pastel green; the pattern
formed Of stitching is of scattered
flowers conventionalized. Kit fox is
used to finish the neck and sleeves and
beige crepe printed in softly tinted
flowers of large design. That gorgeous
shade Of orange fox called red is used
to trim wrap cut like the coat of
Chinese mandarin in pale crepe
a shade between orange and lemon.
The American designer of this wrap

over an inside pocket, and the collar
and cuffs are finished with a wide
band Of white fox fur.
Another coat wrap is made Of black
chiffon velvet, lined with black chif-
fon embroidered with small gilt flow
ers. Gold lace Is introduced as panel
godets at the sides, and in the faring
fiounce cuffs OF the sleeves. An
achievement in evening wraps re-
ceived from Paris is of black taffeta-
wide cape, not circular, but sl1rred
on the shoulders and again at the hips
to form a fiOunce below This Is held
in at the lower edge by q band of
white fox, with plain fold of taffeta
showing several inches beneath. A
large collar is also made of the white
fox
Fine plating is seen in some of the
evening wraps Of Partisan authorship
with particularly happy effect in crepe
and chiffon. A lovely cape which is
part of an ensemble has been designed
by a. New York modiste of delphinium
blue chiffon. The dance frOck is cut
with circular insets at the hips, giving
a wide flare and swing to the skirt
At spaces about the bottom are sewed
little tufts of fine ostrich set on with
blue glass beads, the same trimming
being used on the decollete bodice, all
over lining Of pale rose chiffon. A
wide scarf of the chiffon, with ends
trimmed with the ostrich, lined with
the rose chiffon, Is caught in a loop
at the back of the neck and finished
with long tassel of blue and silver
beads and fringe
The "Square" Cape.
The new departure in evening wraps
is cape which arrived with the title
, of square" 1t is really not a square
at all, but long, wide piece of ma
terial, two edges of which are caught
together in the middle to form loop.
A long tassel is added at the neck, one
at the point of the loop and one at
each corner. One Of these extremely
simple but picturesque capes is made
by an American designer in green and
gold metal brocade.

Some of the handsomest scarf capes
and squares" are made of two fab
rics-taffeta and chiffon, metal bro
cade and crepe, or taffeta and the finer
crepes lined with chiffon. A pretty
party wrap for young woman is of
white crepe Elizabeth on fine plaits
that are drawn in very close at the
collar. band of white taffeta Is
added to the front edges of the cape
and forms a narrow scarf with fringed
ends to be wound around the neck and
hang with one end over each shoulder.
A large assortment of beaded gowns
technically known as "rObes"-and
tunics is presented by almost every
dress shop. They are said to be "hood-
ing" the market, but they are far from
being drug, for beaded and pailletted
things were never more popular. The
latest styles in these are done in ex-
cellent taste, lighter and more lacy
than the heavily beaded gcwns of win
ter, and are dyed In many pretty and
delicate shades,

summer Taffeta is, of course, all the
rage for wraps. capes and coats as
well as for frocks, though it requires
