Colored Shoes
Gain in VOGUE

There is no longer any doubt as 10
the desirability of colored shoes for day
time wear. All the smartest shoe shops
are showing them and the best dressed
women are wearing them. There is
really nothing at all striking about
them for they are OF soft. dark coloring
The blue shoes for street wear are
OF dull kid so dark as to be very nearly
black. Then there are dull, dark green
shoes to wear with the fashionable
hunters green ensemble and others Of
deep Burgundy tone to wear with the
new wine tones. Sometimes these
colored shoes are pumps with small or
very wide metallic colonial buckles, but
II seems that quite the smartest sort
are the oxfordS.
Brown suede shoes are much admired
and may be worn appropriately with
the afternoon gown of brown velvet or
satin or with ensembles in beige. There
are even brown suede slippers trimmed
With just a suggestion of gold that are
appropriate to wear with the evening
frock of brown or beige.
Beige or very transparent brown
stockings are worn with the brown
shoes, and with the new midnight blue
shoes there are sheer silk stockings OF
shade called dust blue.

Succession of
Scents Makes
Garden Lovely

Are you planning your garden for
next Summer?
Most garden lovers do as much gar
dening in the Winter as in the Sum-
mer. Only they do the cold-weather
gardening largely on paper. And that
is the kind of gardening you may be
doing now Planning for next Summer.
If you are, just think about this
idea: garden that is not only q
succession of. bloom, but a succession
of smell We most OF. us plant our
gardens so that there Shall be flowers
from early Spring to late Autumn.
from crocus time to the last days OF
chrysanthemums and cosmos. But not
many of US think of having a success
sion of smell In our gardens.
In China, it is said, gardener who
has not mastered the secret of having
something sweet scented always in
bloom in the garden he tends cannot
find employment with rich family
This secret must be part of his knoWl-
edge.
1t would be an interesting expert
ment to work over for next Summer,
planning a garden where something
sweet smelling was always In bloom.
Why don't you try it? Go through the
Winter collecting data on the blooming
time OF all the sweet scented flowers
YOU know, and then work out your sue
cession, first on paper. then In your
beds and borders.
such standbys in the blooming sue
cession as phlox and roses serve help
fully also In the succession of sweet
smells. And rose geranium and lemon
verbena, though their flowers are in
conspicuous or lacking, have place
in the garden of sweet smells

Have Evening Wear
In Special Place

If you dress for dinner every night
then the dressing problem probably
solves itself for you.
If you so TO really dress-up evening
party only once in two or three months,
then, too, the dressing problem probably
takes care of itself. The event is of
sufficient Importance so that you take
time to plan and prepare your clothes
and give yourself time to put them on
in leisurely fashion.
But IL you are busy woman in btisis
ness or at home and yet get into eve
ming clothes once or twice a week
throughout the winter for some party
or other, 1t Is a great convenience to
have things in special readiness. A
bureau drawer devoted to the things
you will need is helpful. Therein can
be always d fresh set of whatever
lingerie you wear, couple of pairs of
stockings suitable for evening, and a
little box or dressing case of some sort
holding cosmetics-and hairpins If you
wear them. And handkerchiefs. Don't
forget always to have half a dozen nice
ones ready to call on for evening.

Here Is Unusual
Kind of Apple Pie

The old-fashioned cook does not
sweeten her apple pie until after it is
cooked-at least many of them do not
and they insist that the results are
better. This method prevents the Juice
from soaking into the crust. The claim
is made likewise that the flavor Is bet
ter since the sugar is not allowed, to
cook with the apples.
To make an apple pie In this way
the pie tin is lined with pastry, then
the sliced apples are put in and then
the top crust Is added In the usual
way. The pie is then baked until the
apples are soft and the crust is
Drowned Remove from the oven and
carefully run sharp knife around the
edge of the pie, loosening the top crust.
Lift it carefully off and place on a
large plate Now to the hot apple mix
ture add sweetening and what spice Is
desired. Some cooks add pinch of
salt with the sugar. 1t Is said by some
that the best flavor Is produced In n
pie To which no spice Is added, and that
nutmeg. cinnamon, grated lemon, or
any of the other seasonings usually
added, detract from the delicacy of the
flavor of the apples themselves. Put
the crust back Immediately and serve
the pie hot or cold.

The earliest types of sleeves worn
by our European ancestors were loose,
shapeless extensions of the gown,
usually coming only little beyond the
elbow. For greater warmth among
Northern Europeans longer sleeved
tunics we're worn at very early date.
These were provided with what we
should call n1ousquetaire sleeves. They
were made narrow and so long that
they lay in wrinkles from elbow to
wrist. The advantage of sleeves of this
sort was that in cold weather they
might be drawn down over the hands
to supply the want for gloves
For centuries during the middle ages
the costume usually consisted of an
inner tunic with the long sleeves and
the overgoRn with looSer sleeves some
times extending only to the elbow and
sometimes made very wide and long so
that eventually they trailed on the
ground or were tied up in knots to
keep them from doing So
Later to take the place of these
absurd and troublesome sleeves. women
wore long tippets or streamers from the
elbow.
About the time that the fashion for
long. trailing sleeves and streamefs
went out. the fashion for. deep. turn
back cuffs of fur or velvet came in.
This was some 500 years ago. Full,
pulled sleeves were devised and many
times came into fashion and then went
out again. Often they were slashed
SO that the fine material of the sleeve
beneath might be seen And so elab.
crate and costly did these sleeves soi1le@
times become that the fashion arose for
separate sleeves that were fastened to

some have sleeves much shorter. cut

About 1870 came the fashion for bal
looming sleeves that came only little
below the elbow. and poets sang the
praises of lovely arms. Twenty-Five
years later the elegant full sleeve was
replaced by tight one. with a cuff
below the elbow in imitation of the
coats of gentlemen, from beneath which
fell q profusion of lace in the shape of

Sleeve of Modern Design

elbow than above 1t. remained in FASH
ion. with some slight variations,
throughout the eighteenth century
Sleeves of this sort are those that we
find In style Just before the revolution
in France and worn by Martha Wash
ington and other ladies of the Revolu-
tionary period in our country.
Then followed the simple. straight,
long sleeve or the very short slightly
puffed sleeve of the DireCtUire period,
which a few years later in the Empire
period became fuller and more elaborate.
The simple, straight close-fitting
sleeve of the Directoire period came as
part of the general protest against all
the eXtravagances that had gone be-
fore. This was sometimes so long that
only the fingers were to be seen, The
year 1918 is set for the introduction of
the short elbow puff which was made
with the rest of the arm bare for warm
weather or evening wear, and with
long. elose@fitting lower sleeves when
greater protection was needed.
Then, to quote F'ischel and Won
Boehn. fashion grew quite delrious
over the sleeve, shapes and sizes of
every description being worn which
surpassed everything that had been
seen In the way of sleeves before. Its
circumference became enormous. The
leg of mutton sleeve only appeared to
be immediately replaced by The 'eleI
phart. and so. after women had been
striving to make themselves look as
slim and tall as possible. this being
considered the ideal of taste. they now
went to the other extreme, and for
about 10 years succeeded with their
gigantic sleeves and large berthas in
making themselves look almost as broad
as they we're long"
Such were the sleeves in the year
1880. Finding it impossible to make
them any larger, fashion apparently
decided to lake them smaller The
framework of whalebore was discarded
and by le44 sleeves that fitted closely
from shoulder to wrist had again come
into fashion. Between 1850 and 1860
the pagoda sleeve reigned supreme. This
began narrow t the shoulder and eX-
tended in bell shape to slightly below
the elbow. Lower arms were eft bare
or covered with a gathered under
sleeve These undersleeves grew and
grew until by 1850 fashionable women
was the type of sleeve that prevailed
during our own Civil War period.
Full sleeves quite naturally went out
with the passing of the hooped skirt.
and by 1870 the Straighter. more slen-
der silhouette was again in favor
Your own family photograph album
will supply the rest of the history of
the sleeve until your own memory of
fashion changes can pick up the thread
and bring 1t down to the present day.

Icings That Are Uncooked

Last week we spoke q little about
successfully making cooked cake ieings.
I hope If there are any questi6it1s In
regard to the directions given them that
you will write and ask me about them.
To-day am going to talk about ufs
cooked ieings. These are much simpler
to make, but certain amount Of care
must be used to make them success
fully. A properly made, uncooked icing
should be creamy. smooth. firm on the
outside, but soft within Unfortunately
most of the ones we find and even some
of the ones we make ourselves do not
fit into this category. They are likely
to be hard or brittle so that they crack
off the cake when cut. or else they are
so soft and watery that they sink into
the cake ana disappear from sight leav@
ing sort of a sticky smear behind them
The things that make an uneooked
icing successful are, first, the use of
confectioner's sugar rather than pow
dered sugar; and long and thorough
beating. C0ffeetioner's sugar Is finer
and less gritty than the powdered sugar.
therefore It, makes d smoother creamy
icing.
For a good uncooked fudge icing, mix
one tablespoon of top milk or undiluted
RVdpOTaGeQ mix WIN On6-nalI cup OF
confectioner's sugar and one teaspoon of
soft butter, beat this until smooth; it
will be quite a thin mixture as the
milk will largely dissolve the sugar.
Then stir in three squares of uflsweet-
ened. melted chocolate, another half
cup Of sugar, and teaspoon Of vanilla.
Beat this mixture again until smooth;
the chocolate will stiffeh considerable
as you beat it. Gradually add another
tablespoon of milk and the third half
cup of sugar, making one and one-half
cups of sugar in ALL Beat this for about
two minutes and then spread on the
cake. Tt should be thick enough TO
spread in swirls without running; 1t viii
harden on the outside so that it can be
easily cut and will stay soft and
creamy within for several days. If a
plain icing is desired, leave out the
chocolate and add any flavor desired.

Good orange icing of the same type
Is made by using one egg yolk, two
tablespoons of orange Juice, one tea.
spoon of lemon Juice, the grated rind
Of one small orange and about two
cups of confectioners sugar; a little
more sugar may be needed. Beat egg
yolk lightly, add the fruit Juices and
grated rind, then stir in the sugar one
half cup a. time beating thoroughly
between each addition.
In uncooked icinas long beating will
give better results than the excess
amount OF sugar. Too much sugar and
too little beating makes a hard and
brittle icing.
